I personally think that Lalesha had a disadvantage when she was first becoming a mother she didnt have that great of support group and it was all about learning how to do what we have no manual for PARENTING and given that she was in a domestic relationship at the time and its nearly impossible to focus and regulate those kinds of situations. I can tell you that since ive known her my whole life that i cannot be more proud of the woman wife and mother she has become. I believe that she is ready and willing to go above and beyond for her children not only is this a woman of integrity but she is also a woman of God and she deserves to get her chance at being a mother given this opportunity was taken from her..
Samantha supported: Reinstate My Parental Rights in Great FallsI care about this issue because I have struggled with this, I lost two of my kids to the state, then they took my parental rights, the reason the judge gave me was because I was because I have mental retardation, those are the words he used, I know what it's like to have your parental rights yanked from you!
Holly supported: Reinstate My Parental Rights in Great FallsLaleasha has come a long way in life . I'm very proud of the women she's become . I strongly believe her daughters deserve to be with her as she has fought for Years to just even talk to them. A parent trying to always stay in connect with their child is an active parent who wants to provide for there children . I strongly be laleasha is ready to be a mother to her children and has been ready for years now. She has been on a very positive path and has lead her to great choices. God has lead her back to her daughters for good reasons. I pray laleasha gets the chance to prove to everyone even herself that even after having them over 75 days she's been doing wonderful and amazing things for her daughters something her kiddos haven't gotten to seen.

My name is Destiny, and I’m here to share a story that has profoundly impacted my life. I am a mother of five beautiful children and have been fighting for them with every ounce of strength I have. For over a year now, my children have been taken from my care—six long months in two separate stranger homes where they’ve faced harm, neglect, and fear.
The system that removed my children didn’t find abuse in my home. Neglect and lack of supervision were also not proven. Yet, they tore my family apart. I take accountability for my struggles with methamphetamine in the past, but I’ve been in treatment and have complied with everything asked of me. Despite my efforts, the system continues to fail my family, putting up impossible barriers and further traumatizing my children.
Before all this, I was a stay-at-home mom who gave her all to her kids. Our family faced dark times—a near-tragedy with our 16-year-old’s suicide attempt, my husband battling alcoholism, losing his father, our home, our vehicle, and then our children. And still, I rose, determined to rebuild. But instead of help, I found a system that treats children like numbers and families like obstacles.
The Department of Human Services, along with judges, lawyers, and county attorneys, have shown a devastating lack of understanding about mental health, domestic violence, and the real needs of families. They failed to listen when my children spoke up about being abused in foster homes. They left them in unsafe places, made reckless decisions for convenience, and denied them the stability they deserve. My son went without his asthma medication for over a month. My children weren’t even allowed to say goodbye to us when they were taken. Their voices, their fears, and their hopes were ignored.
Now, by the grace of God, my children are with my aunt, finally in safe hands. But the scars left by this broken system remain. They’ve instilled fear, uncertainty, and mistrust in my babies—trauma that will follow them for years to come.
This is bigger than just my family. I have watched other families suffer under this system—good families torn apart, children left voiceless, and those who truly need help abandoned. It’s not about what’s best for the children anymore; it’s about power, bureaucracy, and quotas.
We must demand change. We must hold this system accountable. Our children are not numbers, paychecks, or cases—they are human beings. Families deserve compassion, understanding, and the chance to heal. I won’t stop fighting for my children, for your children, for all children who have been failed by this system.
To anyone going through this nightmare, I see you, I stand with you, and I pray for your strength. Together, we must rise and demand that no more families endure this pain. Let’s fight for our children because they deserve nothing less than our all.
