Unhappy Austin-Protected by the State of NH?

Austin-Held hostage at St. Charles Children's Home in Rochester, NH.Stolen at age 6, 02/03/06 from his grandparents home. No Warrant and No Court order. Corruption at it's finest!

Austin was told his Mommy is NOT his Mommy. He was even told the man who raised him was NOT his Father. Austin was devastated. And No, his Mother's rights were not terminated at the time. In fact, his Father's rights were never terminated. He wasn't even contacted by the State. As far as we know, Austin was ILLEGALLY adopted in December of 2009.

This is how well the State of NH takes care of our children. They don't!

                   
                                                 Austin's unhappy Birthday without his Family

                                     
                                                        Malnourished and forced to run

                                                Austin and his sadness, missing his Family

Austin never played alone until he was stolen by the State of NH

Can you imagine what Austin is thinking right now? How about "I want to go home!"

Skin and bones. I guess the $300.00 a day the State of NH pay's St. Charles to hold Austin Prisoner just isn't enough to feed him! He was never thin in the care of his Family!

Austin-Drugged by the State of NH for his new found violent behavior.

Austin, We Love You!!!!!!!
