The Question's NH DCYF Maggie Bishop Refuses to Answer for The Redress Grievance Committee

These are the question's NH DCYF Maggie Bishop refuses to answer for the Redress Grievance Committee. Attorney General Michael Delaney also told Maggie Bishop NOT to answer them, due to confidentiality.
Do you see any names pertaining to these question's? I don't. Yes, these question's do pertain to DCYF cases. Cases of parent's and family member's railroaded by NH DCYF and the Family Court, but there are NO names, which has no bearing on confidentiality.
Maggie Bishop know's that if she answer's these question's, the Redress Committee will then ask WHY DCYF's Practices and Protocol's were NOT followed. Either way she loses!
