I just spoke with Lacey Andresen, Deputy Director of Child Welfare at DHS. According to her it is not the policy of DHS to remove children if a parent is ill, whether they are ill with Covid 19 or any other sickness. She said that only if 1) a parent is unable to care for the child AND 2) all other possible childcare possibilities have been exhausted AND 3) the parent voluntarily requests a temporary foster placement would DHS consider placement.

I suggested that because many people are understandably concerned when they read this document and have no context in which to put it, it would be a smashing idea if DHS issued a press release clarifying their policy. So let’s see if that happens. Apparently she has been contacted by a number of concerned citizens.

Thanks Kate. I want to trust the DHS. I have 2 people work for them and they are stressed to the gills. I would hate for something to happen during the whole thing that could have been prevented 🙂

Hi Kate, I apologize too for assuming you were attacked us. You and your friend were the highlight of my day! It makes me so happy when people from the left can rally with people from the right. Whatever our beliefs are, we have one in common and it’s deep rooted. Freedom. Freedom to buy what we want, choose our work and lifestyle. Freedom to travel without papers and most importantly, freedom of speech. Believe it or not, in Europe, there is no freedom of speech. All we have is America. The last place on earth for liberty and it’s being attacked from all angles. Bless your heart dear and email me here: james@takeoregonback.com then I will fwd my phone so we can talk more. I wanted to continue our discussion on socialism before we got cut off! 🙂

I wanted to offer my apology for how I got in your face today at the rally. I have just been so furious about this corona insanity and I took it out on you. I could have simply asked you not to video me and explained my reasons.

I also wanted to say that I appreciated how skillfully you defused the situation by getting us to yak about how hard it is to get cool glasses.

I’m sure we’ll see each other again because I’m sure there will be more rallies cuz I’m sure we’re just starting in on this craziness.

FYI: With Bill (Bill as in BIllionaire) Gates’ drive to forcibly vaccinate the world, I’ve spent and am spending a lot of time investigating the issue of vaccine safety. You may be aware of this already but it has been illegal to sue vaccine makers since 1986. Safe and effective?the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has paid out $4.3 billion since 1988.
I have a ton of information if you are interested. Going forward, the issue of medical freedom, the right to determine what does and does not enter your body and the bodies of your children is going to be huge.

Be well.

Kate

Thanks very much for posting the document. I called Lisa (couldn’t hear her last name on the answering machine), Communications Director at DHS to ask what the document actually means. What are the criteria for removing a child and who makes that determination are two questions I would like to have answered. I’ll keep on this and let you know what i find.
