I may be unhappy with the corruption within DCYF and the NH court's, but violence is not the answer. Some day our Government will open its eyes to the destruction caused by DCYF and the court's. They will get what they deserve, but not by me or any other law abiding citizen. They will self destruct on their own without any outside help. It's just a matter of time.
UPDATE: Armed woman jailed after approaching social workers

A Henderson County woman was jailed Tuesday after allegedly advancing on two social workers while armed with a loaded rifle.
The Henderson County Sheriff’s Office charged 50-year-old Brigette Howard, 20000 section of Kentucky 416-East, with tampering with physical evidence. The sheriff’s office is also seeking a misdemeanor charge of menacing against Howard, officials said.
Howard’s neighbor, Helen Craig, 60, 20000 section of Kentucky 416-East, was also arrested in connection with this incident. She was charged with hindering prosecution.
The sheriff’s office said the incident occurred around 5 p.m. when the two employees with the Cabinet for Health and Family Services were in the Hebbardsville area on an unrelated welfare investigation.
The social workers had parked their vehicle on Kentucky 416 in front of Howard’s house, waiting for a deputy to arrive. The deputy was going to accompany them to a different location in order to conduct the welfare check, authorities said.
While the social workers were waiting for the deputy to arrive, Howard came out of her house, carrying a loaded .22-caliber semi-automatic rifle and came toward the vehicle, the sheriff’s office said.
The social workers put the vehicle in reverse to get away from Howard, but they were on a dead-end road and had to stop, officials said.
Meanwhile, Howard, who authorities said was still armed, continued advancing on the social workers.
“She followed them,” said Chief Deputy David Crafton. “They showed her their I.D.’s and asked her to put down the rifle. She said, ‘I don’t have to.’ ”
While Howard was coming toward the vehicle, one of the social workers started blowing the horn in an effort to attract attention, Crafton said.
That’s when Craig, Howard’s neighbor, allegedly came out onto her porch and saw what was happening, but didn’t offer any assistance, officials said.
The social worker driving the vehicle “put the vehicle in drive and sped past Howard and drove down the road where she met (a deputy),” Crafton said.
In the time between the exit of the social workers and being confronted by sheriff’s deputies, Howard allegedly hid the rifle in Craig’s truck.
Crafton said it is the belief of the sheriff’s office that Craig knew the rifle was in her truck and that’s why she was charged with hindering prosecution.
Crafton said that when questioned by deputies, Howard told them that she tells anyone who comes to the vicinity of her house that she has a gun.
Howard was charged with tampering with physical evidence for “attempting to hide the rifle and then lying about the incident to responding deputies,” a press release said.
Howard and Craig were lodged at the Henderson County Detention Center.
Neither of the social workers were injured.

I agree with you, Dot, about this NOT being the answer to this. We have to bring CPS down legally or else we are no better than they are. However, I know how they push people. Some of them aren't stable and might snap under the pressure. I'm not surprised that this happens but what DOES surprise me is that it doesn't happen more often. Again, this is horrific thing to do. I wish instead these people would do like us and fight them here. I'm going to share this with my readers and put a link back to you. Great job.
