The Issue

My family, and I have been systematically abused and neglected by the very people we entrusted with the power to help. What is meant to be a system of support and protection has turned into a source of distrust and fear. We experienced a system that hides documents, fabricates truths, and alters facts, ultimately harming the very families they are supposed to protect.

Across the country, countless families are facing similar injustices. In cases involving child abuse and neglect, integrity and transparency should be paramount. However, when public servants choose to deceive, it causes irreparable damage to the families involved and undermines public trust in a support system that is supposed to be their safety net.

There must be accountability for such grievous actions. We are calling for immediate consequences for public servants who are found guilty of falsifying, altering, or hiding crucial information in child abuse and neglect cases. Such actions should result in termination from their roles and a permanent ban from serving the public in any capacity.

These changes will ensure that our public servants remain truthful and committed to their duty of upholding justice, and that the families affected can rebuild trust in the system designed to protect them. No more families should suffer due to negligence and deceit.

Join us in our fight to restore integrity and trust in our public institutions. Please sign this petition and stand with us in demanding accountability and transparency in handling sensitive cases that impact families. Together, we can make a difference and protect those who depend on us the most.
