Motion to Reconsider in the Adoption of Austin Knightly in The NH Supreme Court
I filed a motion with the NH Supreme Court on October 14th, 2009 Challenging the Adoption of my grandson, Austin Knightly. It was objected to by the States Attorney Generals office on December 23rd, 2009. Sixty day's late. NH Supreme Court rule 22 states the opposing party has ten day's to respond, not sixty!
I filed a motion to have the objection stricken, but of course was denied. I am just a peon and have no rights. The state is obviously "above the law", just as they keep telling us! DCYF keeps drilling this into our heads, along with, they have "the power of God", and they "walk on water." I was told I have no standing as a grandparent. It's funny the NH Supreme Court ruled grandparents DO have standing. They DO have rights to custody of their grandchildren, yet for some odd reason, I don't!
I felt like just giving up. The NH courts don't listen to us. They only listen to DCYF, but a good friend hand delivered my motion to the drop box last night at 9:31.
She convinced me not to give up. She traveled all the way from Massachusetts to help me fight for my grandson. We were told the motion had to be in by midnight. I was given ten day's, period, unlike the state, who can file whenever they feel like it!
When will the people of this state be recognized as a part of this state? What will it take to be treated fairly where justice is concerned? Are we not the people who pay these peoples salaries? If it were'nt for us, they would all be out of job's.
My grandson belongs with us,not with stranger's. It's not up to our government to pick and choose a childs parents. Because I've given DCYF and the court's a run for their money and fought since DCYF threw themselves into our lives, am I not worthy to raise my grandchildren? Because I love my family more than life itself and would protect any one of them with my life, does that make me a bad person?
I have met many people in my lifetime. Some even in state government, who can't figure out why my grandchildren were not placed with me. They have seen the way I protect my family and don't understand how my grandchildren could be placed in foster care when they have a grandmother who will protect them with her life.
All it takes is one false report to DCYF to have your whole world turned upside down. A report proven false before you even end up in court. A report that needs no evidence of innocence to steal a child. Heresay is all in takes in Nashua District Court by DCYF.
I will never give up on my grandchildren and I Will expose the corruption within Nashua,NH DCYF and the courts! I don't just live for my family anymore. I now have a mission in life! We can Not and will Not let the state win! Our children and grandchildren depend on us to fight for their precious lives!

Editorial
The right decision
February 03, 2010 - 7:18 am
The words of New Hampshire Supreme Court Chief Justice John Broderick should be cast in bronze and hung in every town and city hall and posted in every government agency.
"Public access can expose corruption, incompetence, inefficiency, prejudice and favoritism . . . In short, knowing how a public body is spending taxpayer money in conducting public business is essential to the transparency of government, the very purpose underlying the Right-to-Know Law," Broderick wrote in a decision ordering the New Hampshire Local Government Center to provide records sought by the state's professional firefighters association.
The center, which manages the health insurance premiums of municipal employees and provides a host of other services to cities and towns, had refused for eight years to provide information the firefighters believed might prove that the center was using employee insurance premium funds for other purposes.
The center, citing the need to protect proprietary information, refused to provide the information the firefighters sought. It declined to provide its staff's salaries on the grounds that they didn't perform essential government services. But the workers are paid with public money, said the court, which rightly disagreed.
"Public access to specific salary information gives direct insight into the operations of the public body by enabling scrutiny of the wages paid for particular job titles, " Broderick wrote. It is only through "direct insight" that taxpayers can decide whether their money is being spent wisely or squandered. Which is why the court was unanimous in upholding the Right-to-Know Law.

Saving The State Money
Dear friends,
I was talking with one of the governor's liaisons about money. We were talking about YOUR money.
I suggested that we were spending too much of our money in the courts, with "free" attorneys for young mothers, supervised visits, inventing stories to justify taking kids...etc.
At the same time....ONE CHILD A MONTH...dies under the auspices of CPS.
Shouldn't we be taking the "go for the throat" emphasis in stealing kids and putting those efforts into saving them? No employees lost, transfer the duties. But, we relieve the courts for the 30% of those kids taken that really need to be placed elsewhere. Win. Win.

Foster parent's arrest raises doubts about system
Foster parent's arrest raises doubts about system: Swann
Calgary man accused of sex offences against children
Last Updated: Friday, February 5, 2010 | 5:44 PM MT
CBC News
There are some serious problems with Alberta's foster system, the province's Liberal Party leader said Friday while discussing sex-related charges laid against a Calgary foster parent.
David Swann said the charges against the man, accused of offering three boys in his care money in exchange for sexual acts, are very disturbing.
Swann said he has some doubts about the competency of the Department of Children and Youth Services.
"We need more consistent and thorough reviews of foster parents," he said. "We need a monitoring process in place. We need to be very clear when there are concerns that those are dealt with immediately, and we're not sure that's happening."
Rare occurrence
Children and Youth Services Minister Yvonne Fritz defended the system on Friday, saying there are 4,000 children in foster care in Alberta.
"It's really important that people realize this is an unusual situation, that it rarely happens. We have excellent foster care in our province," she said.
Still, Fritz said, she wants every aspect of the case scrutinized.
"I can tell you that if there are any changes that are recommended, I will ensure that they are acted upon very quickly. This is an important review," she said.
"It's an internal review, and it's to ensure the protection and safety of youth in our care."
Tom Baker, a manager with Aspen Calgary, which has contracts with the Alberta government to provide foster homes for 60 children, is worried about how the case will reflect on other foster families in the city.
"It's horrifying to hear that something like this could happen," he said. "It raises the anxiety for people that there aren't adequate kinds of checks and balances and monitoring and so on."
Screening process
But, Baker said, that's not the case.
Foster parents go through a rigorous screening process, he said, including criminal record checks, intensive training, and home visits before they are licensed.
Swann said Children and Youth Services should do more to implement eight recommendations contained in a report into foster care completed nearly two years ago.
That review was prompted by the death of a three-year-old foster boy in an Edmonton home in January 2007. The child was rushed to hospital with severe head trauma and died after being taken off life support the following day.
The report called for increased monitoring during the first six months of a foster home's operation, and more consistent assessment guidelines for evaluating new foster homes.
Fritz said changes were made in 2007, including more intense home studies for foster families.
Garry Prokopishin, 51, was charged Thursday with one count of luring a child via a data device, three counts each of obtaining or attempting to obtain sex from a person under the age of 18, and sexual contact with a youth by a person in authority.
The charges are in connection with incidents alleged to have occurred between January 2006 and April 2008.
Police believe that 55 foster children, all boys, have lived under the care of Prokopishin and his wife over the past 20 years.
At any given time, police said, between one and five boys lived in the home, and they ranged in age from 14 to 17.
The Calgary Police Service said Thursday that officers have spoken to 13 of the boys who lived in the home, and the investigation is ongoing.

Former foster mom admits to tossing 2-year-old
Former foster mom admits to tossing 2-year-old
February 05, 2010 4:11 PM
JOHN C. ENSSLIN
Jules Lynn Cuneo admitted throwing a 2-year-old foster child across her living room out of anger because the child would not talk to her.
Jurors in Cuneo’s first-degree murder trial Friday watched a video of an intense two-hour interview in which the 36-year-old former foster mom gradually changed her story about how Alizé Vick sustained what prosecutors contend was a fatal brain injury.
The interview occurred on Oct. 9, 2007 while the little girl was still clinging to life at Memorial Hospital. She would die the next day of a closed head injury. Cuneo’s lawyer has suggested that the fall may have aggravated an injury that others were responsible for.
At first, Cuneo told Sheriff’s Investigator Cliff Porter that Alizé fell out of her lap while they were playing “horsey” and hit her head and neck on the edge of a table in the living room of her southern El Paso County home on Oct. 9, 2007.
But after Porter confronted her with evidence that a two-foot fall could not have caused such severe damage, Cuneo broke down and gave a different explanation.
“I pushed her like that and she hit the floor,” Cuneo said, demonstrating with her arms.
“To be honest, I didn’t think that would have harmed her,” Cuneo added. “I remember pushing her because she wouldn’t talk to me…It had been a week that she hadn’t talked to me.”
Alizé and her 9-month-old brother had been placed with Cuneo after El Paso County Human Services took them away from her biological parents, both of whom previously had been jailed.
Both biological parents, Christopher Vick and Ashley Lindenberger, have been sitting in the courtroom since testimony began on Thursday. They listened as Porter wore down Cuneo’s initial explanation of an innocent fall.
Cuneo had just brought her twin daughters plus the two foster children back to her home at 11580 Calle Corvo after a trip to Target. Initially, Cuneo claimed that Alizé had tumbled out of a Ford Expedition and landed face first in the parking lot.
When they got home, Alizé undressed and got ready to put her pajamas on, Cuneo said.
“I was giving her a pony ride,” she told Porter. “Yes she did hit the table and when she didn’t talk to me, I pushed her.”
“I think that is when I went ahead and threw her off my lap. I didn’t think I pushed her that hard.”
“OK, when you threw her what happened to her?” Porter asked.
“She hit the table again,” Cuneo said, explaining that Alizé landed on the other side of the coffee table and hit the floor. She picked her up.
“That’s when I did see her roll her eyes back.”
After trying to revive the girl in the shower, Cuneo said she called 911.
“Are you going to take my kids away?” she asked the detective.
“Way cart before the horse,” Porter replied before going outside to get Cuneo some soda. While he was gone, the video showed Cuneo sitting in a corner with her head in one hand, sobbing.
Investigators then arrested Cuneo and initiated proceedings that did lead to Human Services taking custody of her twin daughters.
The trial had recessed Thursday after a juror fainted during testimony. That juror returned to the panel on Friday. Testimony resumes on Tuesday.

CPS Admits Filling Home Studies With Rumors And Stories With No Regard To Truth
Yesterday, my aide Brian along with one of my government watchdog friends met with Children's Adm. people regarding the Willard Case (the grandparents of "Lilly") for a little more than 3 hours.
The subject was the second in-home study that had just as many lies as the first one done over a year ago.
Turns out CPS believes it is their responsibility to contact individuals who know the family and ask questions. These people are the "collateral" informers.
It was an 85 year-old "collateral informer" with dementia who told the department that Mrs. Willard had breast cancer...or maybe she was the one who told CPS that Mrs. Willard was minus one kidney and on dialysis twice weekly. I get my informers mixed up. In any event, you will recall that Mrs. Willard (at 45) had never had a mammogram at that point and so it would have been IMPOSSIBLE to know she had breast cancer. (She then spent lots of money to get the screening and prove she did not have cancer! If she had not done that... then her supposed affliction would stay in the report. But, it stayed there anyway!!!!Even after she turned in the negative breast screening test it remained in the report. CPS did not believe the report!!!) And, of course, she has both kidneys and no bi-weekly machine hook-ups.
The department admitted that they take unverified "stories" and put them as fact into their reports. In my own life, I am very familiar with star chambers and make believe dossiers written by people with agendas. And written because they have the power to do so. They enjoy the hurt and harm they cause others. It actually makes them feel good. Can you imagine getting off on harming people? It is a form of sadism that shows itself when evil people have unrestrained power.
So...in the room yesterday..it was decided that there was no proof Mrs. Willard was on dialysis or had breast cancer. This whole process has taken months. It takes months because the department desires that. They want to be able to tell the judge that there is more bonding now with the adoptive family. It is part of the game, a game that is repeated over and over all over the state.
The department does not care about the truth, apparently. Nor, do they care that a little girl has been wrenched from her home a year ago now.
There is more to the story.
