The following was sent to my wifes email regarding an incident

Students are apparently parking near the homeless shelter in Portland.

May 26, 2017 

Dear Portland High School families: 

This letter is to make you aware of an incident this morning involving a Portland High School student parking her car near Oxford and Chestnut streets. The student was not hurt and police are looking into the matter, but we’d like to remind students and their families to take precautions when it comes to driving to school. 

At this time of year, many students have just acquired their driver’s licenses, so are driving to school. As a result of that, parking has become increasingly difficult. Because PHS is part of an urban campus, wherever they park, it is important for students to be aware of their surroundings and not travel alone to and from their vehicles. 

As downtown parking near the school is limited, we urge families to ask students not to drive to school unless it is absolutely necessary. We encourage students to take convenient and safe public transportation instead. METRO buses provide free transportation to all our Portland Public Schools high school students and the bus stops are located close to the school. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at either 874-8205 or at jepsos@portlandschools.org. 

Sincerely,
Sheila JepsonPrincipal, Portland High School

Parents say Maine’s mental health system failed suicidal daughter

My heart goes out to this family.  

The parents of a Lewiston Middle School student who died by suicide this week say their daughter’s story reveals a complete breakdown in Maine’s mental health system. Anie Graham’s parents say there should be distinct protocols to help kids at risk of suicide, and properly trained providers who are available to help.

I'm going to add that it isn't only the lack of available services that is the problem.  It probably isn't only the bullying that drove her to this.

Medication should never be given without therapy.  Especially since anti-depressants are linked to higher suicide rates in teenagers.

Corruption DHHS Maine / Elizabeth Hardink, LSW

1st AMENDMENT, TRUTH AND FACT, MY OPINION FROM MY EXPERIENCE.

Elizabeth Hardink, LSW checked off every box on those fake medical releases and received all mine and my children's medical records. I want them back!! Where are they?

NOTE: CORRUPT ELIZABETH HARDINK, LSW DID NOT GET HER FILTHY HANDS ON THESE AWESOME CHILDREN.

Her Slander and Defamation of this mother is pathetic. The mother doesn't even have a speeding ticket.

Per National Journal Of Medicine: When a child is removed from a loving home it is so Traumatizing it causes them "Neurological Brain Damage".  That's what Elizabeth Hardink, LSW wanted to do to these children. Neurological Brain Damage washes out as behavioral and emotional problems then DHHS abuses Psych. Drugs to control them and blames the problems on the parents.

• Never let social workers in your home without a warrant. 
• Post your property private property no Trespassing. If they harass you and refuse to leave you can do a Citizens Arrest on them. Record, verbally inform them 3 times to leave, then verbally inform them they are under Citizens Arrest for Trespassing, Harassment, Disturbing the Piece, and anything else you can think of. Don't touch them, simply call the Sheriff who is suppose to uphold the Constitution.
• Teach your children reverse Miranda. 
• Do not answer their questions. 
• Video tape and record everything. 
• Request the DHHS record immediately, they have 30 days to give it to you.
• Tell them they do not have a right to open a case on your family, they are suppose to ask that. 
• Tell them their is no danger and they don't have a right to open a case.
• Invoke all your Constitutional, Parental, and Civil Rights. 
• Don't allow them to speak to your children unless it is Court Ordered. 
• Do nothing unless it's Court Ordered. 
• In Maine you do not have to tell them you are recording. 
• Digital Recorders are like $40 have over 100 hours recording time, and pick up everything even if in your pocket or purse. 
• Don't take their shit. Call them out on their abuses and lies. 
• Record Medical Appointments and Simply Store them on your computer in case you need them. 
• Doctors will lie and lie and lie and will not dictate their abuses. 

Child Protective Services targets the poor minorities and especially single mothers.  Kids to Order Adoption Industry.

Maine's DHHS Snatched 905 Kids Last Year

May is National Foster Care Propaganda Awareness Month and like she has over the last few years, DHHS Commissioner Mary Mayhew comes out pleading for more gullible suckers potential foster parents to warehouse a stolen kid open their hearts and their homes for a child in need.

The state says there's a continued need for foster homes in Maine as more children come into state custody because of parental substance abuse. 

More >> Maine DHHS says foster homes needed for kids with special needs

On top of that, the article goes on to say that Maine snatched 905 kids last year which is about 11 less than 2014, which I consider a significant improvement considering the leadership which has been directly responsible for an increase in state sponsored child snatching over previous years by cutting services available to families involved with the child welfare system that helped kids stay safe in the home.

They're still blaming drug abuse as the main culprit leading to neglect but are still continuing their assaults on the poor by trying to cut Medicaid, making treatment difficult to obtain for some.  God forbid it could have anything to do with their policies.

Spurwink Will Now Be Selling Babies Apparently

So according to a letter to the editor in the Piscataquis Observer, Spurwink Services apparently got the contract for A Family For Me, which is Maine's adoption from foster care program, and they are currently recruiting more foster care providers.   And apparently there is an "urgent need," for suckers foster parents in Maine right now.  And if you want to become a foster care provider then you can call Spurwink and they'll hook you up or if you want somebody elses kid of your very own to keep forever, you can call them for that to.

Spurwink Services was awarded the A Family for ME contract by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). This contract will allow Spurwink to relaunch A Family for ME, a statewide recruitment campaign to identify families interested in becoming foster and adoptive parents for children in custody of the Department.

I'm sorry but I see a conflict of interest here.  This same company also runs Maine's child abuse program which is run by Dr. Lawrence Ricci, who is arguably DHHS's favorite go to person when they need a medical diagnosis of child abuse.  This should be a real motivator for him to help DHHS get more kids into the system.  It's good for the company.
