Drug, DHR, Gov. Seizure of Children, Termination of Parental Rights Opposed to Genocidal SSRI's Re: Re: FDA Called 'Defenseless' Against Bad Drugs...

[Guest guest]

Dear SSRI Friends,

I wish I had time to document the cruel and mentally abusive power hungry

spirit breaking mentality of

DHR social workers that are currently in the process of slowing destroying a

Mother who loves her children

torturing her with daily visits to wear her down to a frazel so they can

have an excuse to get their brownie

points earning DHR Federal subsidies that reward them for breaking up

familes and not helping them stay together. I happened to call her for a

short hello when I got in the car on the way to lunch and found her sobbing

in dispair

20 minutes after they'd left. They've just about broken her down making her

loose all home and that she's a bad Mother.

It makes me so disgusted I don't know what to do. She's a better Mother than

those wives with wealthy husbands that leave their kids with the nannies to

go get their nails done. She's facing Thanksgiving and Christmas unable to

work with injuries sustained in a auto accident that wasn't her fault

threatened with having her children taken away from her because she can't

work because of the injuries and can't pay for the medications that she

doesn't want them to take because of the side effects. Maybe someone on this

list will help me help her for Christmas Santa. She's got 3 disabled

children-probably from the fatherh being a Gulf War vet. I've already

checked into the Kroger that's not far from her and they will take a credit

card payment over the phone if anyone wants to give her some food for

Thanksgiving. I also have permission to give anyone her phone number that is

willing to help her in case you doubt the horrificness of her story. The DHR

social workers even wouldn't give her the money to take the handicapped bus

to her hydrotherapy recommended for her hip that will require a hip

replacement. As soon as I can I'm going to get an congressional

investigation going with a congressman but if anyone will help her through

Thanksgiving and Christmas I can assure you you will be doing a good think.

Anyonen who might not believe I am who I am can find my phone number on the

internet under Lenox Chiropractic Clinic in Atlanta 404 233 4433 and my

licensure under the Ga. Secretary of State and call me to verify the

authenticity of this plea. I've met her myself and her 3 children.

God gave those children to her to raise-not the U.S.Government to seize and

control with SSRI's!!!!If anyone is willing to help her out financially I

could probably even get the manager at the Walll-Mart to do the same thing

for Santa.

As a Mother it just breaks my heart. I'd like to move in with her and be

there with a video camera every time those SS officers came terrorizing that

poor woman daily with their ongoing threats before they finally deprive her

of her OWN CHILDREN.

Dr. Lance, D.C.

This article goes part way in describing what happens. But from what

I've heard here and elsewhere, I thought that kids were being put

into foster care in the first place because their parents refused to

put them on SSRIs.

internet under Lenox Chiropractic Clinic in Atlanta 404 233 4433 and my

licensure under the Ga. Secretary of State and call me to verify the

authenticity of this plea. I've met her myself and her 3 children.

God gave those children to her to raise-not the U.S.Government to seize and

control with SSRI's!!!!If anyone is willing to help her out financially I

could probably even get the manager at the Walll-Mart to do the same thing

for Santa.

As a Mother it just breaks my heart. I'd like to move in with her and be

there with a video camera every time those SS officers came terrorizing that

poor woman daily with their ongoing threats before they finally deprive her

of her OWN CHILDREN.

Dr. Lance, D.C.

Thank you,

This article goes part way in describing what happens. But from what

I've heard here and elsewhere, I thought that kids were being put

into foster care in the first place because their parents refused to

put them on SSRIs.

Thursday.
