đ¨NH MOM NEEDS THE PUBLICâS HELPđ¨ Please read and share. This is my third attempt at posting. @StephNoelle12 has been seeking redress for her grievances with the state for alleged negligent, abusive, arbitrary and capricious acts of maladministration by DCYF and the family court. Like so many others, she finds only dead ends. Her horrible story is only made worse by the fact that stories like hers are all too common. The public needs to know how bad the juvenile justice system is in NH and demand reform. The House had an opportunity to thoroughly investigate using its full power including sworn testimony and subpoenas if necessary and it was stopped first by the Republican Speaker of the House and then again by members of the House who voted against the motion in June to bypass the corrupt gatekeeper and launch an investigation. The corruption in NH runs so deep and families are suffering as a result. How many more parents must come begging for help? How many more kids have to be traumatized before the House fulfills its very first duty of redressing the grievances of the people? How many wrongful death lawsuits will it take? It is inexcusable for the servants of the people to receive these complaints year after year only to have this system continue its status quo of harming the innocent. Please sign the petition at and share this post to raise awareness and demand investigation and reform. @StephNoelle12 is seeking help from the public to get justice for what she alleges DCYF and the family court have done and and are enabling her son to be abused. Please REPOST. She asked me to help her get the word out. These are her words and photos from her post on FB: **TRIGGER WARNINNG** Child Physical Abuse Photos are in this post. MY 3 YEAR OLD SON IS IN DANGER AND I NEED THE PUBLICâS HELP. PLEASE READ AND SHARE. I am Stephanie Turgeon, the mother of the child pictured below, Grayson Lee Draughon, born 6/12/21 in Nashua, New Hampshire. On 9/13/21 Graysonâs father was arrested out of our shared apartment in Manchester, NH where he was ultimately charged with 8 domestic violence charges against Grayson and I. We left that apartment that day and I have not been back. 9/15/21 I was awarded a temporary restraining order against Graysonâs father. At the final hearing for the restraining krder, Judge Kimberly Chabot denied the restraining order. To be fair, she did not hear the case, it was heard by a magistrate and then per the magistrates recommendation, Judge Chabot denied the restraining order at the final hearing. 9/18/21 Graysonâs father was charged with stalking for sending me a text message that both violated his restraining order and his bail conditions. Even though he violated his bail conditions, they did not revoke his bail and he never served time in jail. At some point, I cannot remember the date, Judge Kimberly Chabot found Graysonâs father guilty of all 8 domestic violence charges. Graysonâs father utilized New Hampshireâs automatic appeal for misdemeanors and therefore was granted an automatic appeal for these charges. We then had a jury trial and the jury found him guilty of 2 charges including endangering the welfare of Grayson by pulling on his arms trying to get him out of my grip so he could punch me in the face. I learned from the prosecutor that Domestic Violence is notoriously the hardest to prove in front of a jury and is the most likely to be acquitted. Graysonâs father was found guilty of the stalking charge and then ultimately plead guilty to it after he appealed it for a jury trial. His sentence was handed down from judge Delker and the sentence he received for talking to me after he was ordered not to was to not talk to me except as is permitted by the family court. If that doesnât make sense itâs because it doesnât make sense. In February of 2022 we had our first family court date, initiated by Graysonâs father. Youâll notice a picture below of hundreds of white pills and used and unused needles. I found these drugs after my son was already born and Graysonâs father admitted he has had a bad opioid addiction since he was a teenager. These pictures were presented at this court date and Judge Bradley Lown âmade a findingâ that these pictures were all âflea and tick medicineâ. No, Judge Lown did not order any tests on the drugs this was just his opinion based on the pictures. Once a court âmakes a findingâ you canât use it as evidence anymore that Graysonâs father is using drugs. Graysonâs father had to do supervised visits so that he could start a relationship with Grayson. They began in July of 2022 for 2 hours a week. August of 2022, Focus on Families (the supervision center) sent an email stating that Graysonâs father was very argumentative and was talking badly about me to Grayson and that she had to redirect Graysonâs father several times. She went on to say that if the behavior happens 1 more time she will not be doing his visits anymore. Graysonâs father did not show up to his court ordered supervised visits ever again after this day. 10/6/22 I did not have an attorney for this one hearing. Judge Bradley Lown was informed of the details that occurred during the supervised visits and how Graysonâs father did not follow the courtâs order and stopped attending. Judge Bradley Lown then awarded Graysonâs father overnight visits effective that day on Thursday 10/6/22 at 4pm until Sunday 4pm and then every Tuesday 12pm- 4pm to continue every single week. I work Monday - Friday. Graysonâs father does not work as he has âtotal disabilityâ from the military for mental health reasons. When Graysonâs father arrived at the daycare he was not given Grayson because he had no paperwork showing that he could pick Grayson up. The cops were called because of his aggression and because he snuck in to the daycare facility that is locked down and only accessible to those with a âkey cardâ. 10/7/22 Graysonâs father was trespassed from his daycare for aggressive behavior. He also had a 2 hour stand off in the parking lot with the Nashua police. He then got an ex-parte order that ordered me to give my son to him immediately or I would be arrested on the spot, signed by Judge Bradley Lown. I was held in contempt at the end of October that year and the new parenting plan was my punishment that I would have 2.5 days a week and he would have 4.5 days a week, I had to do all of the travel to every exchange and again he had every single weekend. February 2023 Graysonâs father was trespassed from St. Joes Pediatrics in Nashua for his aggressive behavior and they let Grayson go as a patient all together because of the incident. That schedule went on for 10 months and during that 10 months there was about 6 different DCYF investigations in to Graysonâs father based on the pics below. Since he refused to talk to them they just closed the case every time. 8/28/23 NHDCYF filed an abuse/neglect petition against Graysonâs father which was substantiated by Judge Ellen Joseph on or around November 15, 2023 after an expert in child abuse evaluated Grayson and testified that he was not safe with his father. This resulted in Grayson staying with me full time while his father worked what is called âreunificationâ. I paid $300/hr for my attorney while Graysonâs father had a free attorney since he was the âpetitioned parentâ on the case. NHDCYF chose to close the case early and refused to give me or the court appointed special advocate (CASA) any answers as to what they had done with Graysonâs father to correct the conditions that lead to this finding against him. He was not ordered to do any drug testing even though he is an admitted addict taking suboxone nor was he made to do any parenting classes. Judge Ellen Joseph denied my attorneyâs and the CASAâs filings and granted NHDCYF filings closing the case effective immediately reverting our parenting plan back to me having 2.5 days a week and him having 4.5 days week etc etc. TO THIS DAY MY SON IS NOT SAFE. He came back with another black eye a few weeks ago and DCYF is trying to cover it up. TO THIS DAY Graysonâs father has more time with him than I do. TO THIS DAY I have had 1 motion granted in my favor (it was pertaining to the Guardian Ad Litemâs bill) and Graysonâs father has had every single solitary motion he has filed has been granted. Every single one. The motion I had granted in my favor was one motion he never objected to. So quite literally, every single solitary motion he has filed has been fully granted. In June of this year, I was diagnosed with PTSD and anxiety due to this situation. 2 conditions I have never had before. The court of public opinion is still the highest in the land. Please share this if you think that abusive parents should not be the primary care taker of children. Please share this if you think that the entity charged with protecting children should NOT be the entity that profits financially off of children being unsafe. Iâve spoken to NH state reps and an executive council member and sentors. These people hear me loud and clear and agree with me but have mentioned how the corruption is just so deep and that the public just does not know what is really going on. I am asking the public to make noise because thatâs all we have at this point. #justiceforgrayson #metoofamilycourt #FamilyCourtReform #FamilyCourtCorruption #dcyf #nhdcyf #cottageindustry #endchildabuse #childrensrightsmatter #childrensrights #childrensrightsarehumanrights #harmonymontgomery #GraysonDraughon

@shea_jordan @alissandra4mht LEGITIMATE power. If the court rules against legitimate power it is judicial error and rightfully will be overturned.

Public sector employees should not be able to unionize. The State employeeâs Union protected pedophiles raping kids at YDC. School unions negotiations behind closed doors takes oversight and ability to govern away from taxpayers. Public sector employees should demonstrate to the people why they shouldâve paid more and shouldnât be able to strong arm deals with elected officials for themselves with lawyers behind closed doors. This is why public school budgets are out of control. In Weare the collective bargaining agreement for the proposed budget would give school employees a 6% raise and that plus the other increase will bring our property taxes up 10%. When public sector employees do not have unions and they have to negotiate with the public instead, the requested increases are much more reasonable.
