Department of Transportation launches discrimination investigation of Alabama 02:11

Story highlights

• The U.S. Department of Transportation has just launched an investigation into Alabama
• The case revolves around the closing of Department of Motor Vehicle offices and whether that discriminates against African-Americans

Washington (CNN)The U.S.
Department of Transportation has just 
launched an investigation into whether 
Alabama is discriminating against
African-American residents after
announcing plans to shut down or 
reduce service at 34 state drivers license 
offices.

Voting rights advocates say the move will
disenfranchise lower income, African-American voters in rural communities who
wish to vote.

In 2014, Alabama passed a law requiring valid photo ID in order to vote at the polls.

Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx says his agency is specifically looking into
whether the closures violate the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which
prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin on programs
and activities receiving federal assistance.

"Driver license offices offer essential services to the American people, including
providing thousands in Alabama with a method of identification. It is critical that
these services be free of discrimination, and serve the people of the state fairly
and equally," Foxx said.

On September 30, Alabama announced the closure and reduction in services at 34
drivers licensing offices throughout the state. The Alabama Law Enforcement
Agency has said an $11 million cut in the budget forced the closing of the DMV
offices at which residents can obtain or renew their licenses. The state expects
some of the needs of those who would have used such offices to be met online.

"It is our obligation to ensure that recipients of federal funding are in compliance
with federal laws that guarantee equal access and opportunity for all," said
Stephanie Jones, the U.S. Department of Transportation's civil rights acting director.

"Our concern rests in the possibility that the state's closure of driver license offices
 disproportionately constrains the ability of some residents to secure driving
privileges, register personal and commercial vehicles, and obtain proper
identification a critical requirement for access to essential activities such as
opening a bank account and voting," she said.

The agency will be requesting all documents and information that explains why
these specific 34 DMV locations were picked for closure or reduced service "and
why not others," Foxx said.

DOT says it has not reached any conclusions but if it finds these closures are
discriminatory, the agency will first allow the state to come into compliance by
making those services available once again. If Alabama does not comply, the
Department of Transportation says it could strip the state of millions of dollars in
federal funding that's used towards DMV programs.

Questioned whether stripping the state of federal funding would only further
negatively impact the communities DOT is trying to protect Foxx said the agency
is still gathering information "I don't want to presuppose the outcome at this point,
we need to go and get the facts but I think that the recourse we have is fairly
effective we've seen it work in previous cases. Hopefully we won't get there but if
we do we will be very aggressive."

In October, Rep. Terri Sewell, the only African-American in the state's
congressional delegation, asked the Department of Justice to launch an
investigation.

The state of Alabama declined to comment on the investigation.

It's unclear when the DOT will complete its investigation or whether it will be
done before the November 2016 election, though Foxx said the agency is working
to get it done as soon as possible.

A gag order was placed on Tony and Sabrina Cartee by a Randolph County judge to prevent them from talking to media and the public about the medical kidnapping of their children by Child Protective Services. However, Sabrina’s parents are not under the gag order, and contacted Health Impact News reporting that they can no longer sit back and watch the unjust destruction of their family by Child Protective Services, and one social worker in particular. Tommy and Winnie Crumbley, Sabrina’s parents, had a great deal to say about what is happening in the lives of their grandchildren. They are frightened for their well-being and want them to come back home.

As previously reported, the Cartee children were taken by Child Protective Services, known as DHR (Department of Human Resources) in Alabama, when their then 5 year old son began “eloping” – the term used when autistic children wander away from home. One of his older brothers had already been diagnosed as autistic, and the family suspected that he was as well. They just didn’t have a diagnosis yet.

When their newest baby was born in September 2014, DHR seized the breastfeeding baby from her mother’s arms just 2 days after she was born.

Original story:

Alabama Seizes 7 Children from Family After Child with Autism Wandered to Neighbors

The violations of the family’s moral, legal, and Constitutional rights are numerous and egregious, report the Crumbleys. They say that their grandchildren should never have been taken away from their parents, and they want to see them returned to Sabrina and Tony, “where they belong.”

The Cartee’s 17 year old daughter has also emailed us, saying:

I want to go home, my parents have not done anything wrong and we don’t deserve to be harrassed by Alecia [social worker] anymore!!

Children Were Supposed to Be Returned Home in August

When the children were first taken, Tommy Crumbley reports that Alesia McFarlin, the social worker from Randolph County DHR, told his daughter that if it was left up to Alesia, she would never let the Cartee children come home. She gave no reason why, and the Crumbleys don’t understand her apparent hostility toward their family.

The Crumbleys told us that the Randolph County judge ruled in June that all of the children were to be returned home by the time school started in August. At the time, the 7 children were living in 4 separate places, some with relatives and some in foster homes. Even though DHR seized all the children at the same time (except the baby, who wasn’t yet born), they wanted to “transition” the children home, a few at a time. Allegedly, the social workers thought it would be “overwhelming” for all of the children to come home at once.

Th older children started being permitted temporary visits home, followed by occasional overnight visits by the younger children, except the baby. Alesia the social worker reportedly insisted upon the older children being out of the house when the younger ones visited. Mr. Crumbley believes that:

Alesia did not want the siblings seeing each other.

By July 20, all of the children were finally out of foster care and placed with family members. School started on August 10, and the kids were supposed to be home, but that didn’t happen. The 2 youngest Cartees were still not home with their family. By this point, the Cartees’ oldest child, Michael, had turned 18, and was living on his own.

DHR Takes Children Again

As soon as they were back home, Mr. Crumbley says that Sabrina put the 2 autistic boys, ages 7 and 8, back on a gluten-free and cassein-free diet. They came off of their ADHD medicines as soon as they got out of foster care and into family care, and the boys were adjusting well. However, as soon as school started, the social worker insisted that Sabrina put them back on ADHD medicines, even though dietary changes had made a significant impact. Alecia threatened to get a court order if Sabrina refused, so she felt she had no choice.

On the afternoon of August 24, Alesia called and told the Cartees to bring the children to the DHR office as soon as they got home. Little did they know that this would be the last time they would see the 7 and 8 year old boys.

When they got off the bus that day, Sabrina loaded the kids in the car. She only had 4 of the 7 children with her, and the 8, 12, and 17 year old were very apprehensive, even screaming, and did not want to go to DHR. The Crumbleys said that the 7 year old was oddly excited about going there. They said that he was happy about getting a prize out of the treasure box there. They want to know if he was somehow bribed.

To this day, many in the family suspect that the social worker bribed the 7 year old. She had access to see the children at school, and there was a new allegation. Allegedly, he had told her about something happening with one of his siblings. This is the justification that DHR used to take the kids back into custody again. That day, they took only the 2 autistic boys, and placed them into foster care.

A few days later, DHR came to the school and took the 12 and 17 year old. The Crumbleys don’t know why, but the case with them is now in Cleburne County instead of Randolph County. However, Alesia remains their social worker.

Older Children Forced to Sleep in Social Services Office

The Crumbleys found out that that their 12 and 17 year old were not placed immediately with anyone. Instead, they slept that first night in the DHR office. They were also kept out of school for several days.

No one in the family has seen the 7 or 8 year old since the day they were taken, so no one has had the opportunity to question him. No one in the family, including the other children, believes the new allegation. Mr. Crumbley says that since it was Alesia who said that the 7 year old had reported something, “Is it even true that he said it?” Since that time, the Crumbleys have learned that another social worker has determined that there is no merit to the new allegation. So, the question they ask is, why aren’t the children home?

Instead, the plan has changed to put some of the children into permanent placement with relatives, and DHR wants to adopt out others of their grandchildren. Mr. Crumbley told us that he learned that the foster parent who wants to adopt the youngest two children is one of Alesia’s best friends. He doesn’t understand how they can do that.

Distrust of Social Worker

The Crumbleys are very distrustful of the social worker, Alesia McFarlin. Winnie Crumbley reports that, no matter what her daughter Sabrina and her husband Tony do to comply with the DHR demands, it is never enough.

Once she [Sabrina] gets something done, they always come with something else. It’s always Alesia that comes up with something else.

At one point, Tommy heard Alesia state that, if his daughter would divorce Tony, she could get her kids back. Later, during an ISP meeting, she denied making such a statement. When Tommy contradicted her and said, “You did say that,” he says that she kicked him out of the meeting.

Grandma Threatened For Taking Grandson to Dentist

Mrs. Crumbley worries about the lack of health care being provided to her grandchildren under DHR care. The baby has had numerous ear infections. She said that once when she saw the oldest grandson who was 17 at the time, he complained of a tooth that had been hurting him for 3 weeks. Since no one was doing anything about it, she took Michael to the dentist. He needed a filling. She says that, when Alesia found out that she took him for dental care for a hurting tooth, she threatened a lawsuit. Alesia also reportedly threatened jail time for Mrs. Crumbley and Sabrina.

Insistence on Drugging 17 Year Old

The Cartees oldest daughter recently sent an email to Health Impact News. She reports that the social worker is trying to put her into a therapeutic foster home, force her to take medications she doesn’t want, and get her on disability. [Note: the state receives more money for children who are on disability in foster care.]

 she said she is going to put me in a facility even i have somewhere to go. … i asked how i [could qualify for a therapeutic foster home] and she said “because you lack being able to mind” and mom said she was going to have me and [the 12 year old] tested on her own, and once again Alicia got pissed off. But then we left and on the way back to [the foster home] she said she wanted me back on ADHD medicine and i strait up told her “NO” because that stuff always made me sick…and i said id never take it again….plus she said the only reason she says half the stuff she says to me is to make me mad. I want to go home, my parents have not did anything wrong and we don’t deserve to be harrassed by Alicia anymore!!

The Crumbleys report that their older grandchildren have told them numerous times that the social worker makes threats to them when she is in the car with them.

Religious Freedom Threatened

Just before DHR took the children again in August, the family had begun attending a group at a church called Celebrate Recovery, a Bible-based program to help people deal with “hurts, hang-ups, and habits.” The group was helping them to deal with all of the trauma that they had experienced from being separated and in foster care. They were just a few weeks short of completing the program. Sabrina has since finished it and received her certificate.

The 2 autistic boys got baptized at the church the day before DHR took them.

The Crumbleys report that Sabrina decided that she wanted to be baptized, and was very much looking forward to the Sunday morning when she was to be baptized. Meanwhile, when DHR took the children in August, the older children were placed temporarily [after sleeping at the DHR office] with a missionary from the same church.

His daughter talked with the DHR supervisor about how to handle seeing the children at church. She was told that she was not to go into a room with them alone, or to hug them. Being in the same building or greeting them in the hall was acceptable.

However, that is not what apparently happened. Alecia reportedly learned that Sabrina was going to be at the same church as the children, and she called the missionary, forbidding them to be in the same place. Sabrina showed up on her daddy’s front porch that Sunday morning, crying, because Alesia wouldn’t let her stay at the church and get baptized, since the kids were there too. She did get baptized at a later date.

Sabrina cannot even ask for prayer online, according to Mr. Crumbley. When Sabrina posted on her Facebook page asking for prayer for court, DHR made a big “stink” about it. He said that they somehow construed her gag order from discussing court proceedings to say that she can’t even ask for friends to pray for her when she has court:

The government ought to stay out of her religious freedom.

Cost to Taxpayers

The Crumbleys expressed concerns over all the unnecessary things that taxpayers are footing the bill for in their grandchildrens’ case. There have been numerous psychological evaluations, and parenting assessments and classes. The senior citizens believe that there is a better use for taxpayer money than all the services and court hearings with their family, for a case that they say should never have happened.

Lack of Visits

The Cartees have not been allowed any visits with their autistic boys, and are now only given 1 visit per month with the other children. Winnie Crumbley says that this is so hard on the children:

They want to be with their mother.

Father Faces Jail for Being Behind on Child Support

The Cartees are still expected to pay child support to the state, including for the months that most of the children were home. Tony drives a truck and missed a monthly child support court appearance when he was out on the road. There is now a warrant for his arrest for one month’s support, plus a “purge fee,” which is more than the child support.

Why Isn’t This Over? and How You Can Help

All of this allegedly started when an autistic child eloped. Mr. Crumbley expressed great frustration that his daughter asked for help when this happened, but instead of helping the family, DHR has ripped his family apart. The children never should have been removed, in the Crumbleys’ opinion, and this should have ended long ago with the children being returned home. He and his wife are asking for the public to step in and help, to call legislators, and to raise their voices to help bring these children back home.

Our forefathers came over here from England to get away from the tyranny of the government. And what is our own government doing to us now? The same thing that we fought to get away from! … Something’s got to give.

FCVFC Mission Statement

                                        BREAKING NEWS

The Foundation moves into the future with hope and plans to provide services for large portions of the population whom are not able to afford retainer fees for private legal services,

The entity envisioned will be recruiting clients, screening cases to move forward with class action suits.  The intention of such suits will be to bring awareness and proactive correction to areas of public policy and legislation that do not currently address glaring deficiencies in practice, policy and procedure.

The Board of Directors and staff of the FCVFC are deeply distressed over the number of people who seek our assistance whom we cannot attend to because of financial challenges on the part of the Foundation and the part of the client. The Foundation does not and will not in the future be accepting any Federal funding or grants. We however do have strategy in place that will enable us to work with the public to self-finance class actions in Rico and Federal Civil Rights suits. Toward this end, we are actively and aggressively joining forces with like-minded colleagues to meet the goal described.

All clients whom have reached out for assistance and have imparted case and contact information, the information has been maintained. All of those clients will be contacted, offered an opportunity to

engage in the screening process for whatever class action law suit we are pursuing,

The FCVFC will be publishing progress reports toward recruiting clients whose need to assert claims has been unrequited but may find hope for restitution.

Testimonials 29 November 2015 Radio Show

Hi jill,

What an effective and informative show! 

I listened to the entire show, and it was so good. 

It looks like many more clients are coming your way!  I get a little frustrated for example with the woman who says cameras are needed because great idea but no one is going to care to look at whats on them! Its so sad because everyone thinks their case is unique and they are all the same with a few diffeences like you have told me. 

I feel so blessed to have found you and am your number 1 fan! great job today and Laray too.

talk soon,

J

Medical Kidnap - illinois DCFS Needs Total Overhaul

Report: Illinois DCFS Needs Total Overhaul

Join the Discussion(1)

by Duaa Eldeib
Chicago Tribune

Excerpts:

Beset by failures in leadership and in treatment of the state’s
most vulnerable children, Illinois’ Department of Children and 
Family Services is hammering out a reform plan after
a panel of court-appointed experts determined the agency needs a 
top-to-bottom overhaul if it hopes to improve the safety and well-being 
of the thousands of youths in its care.

DCFS has until the start of the new year to address the systemic deficiencies
identified in a scathing report filed in federal court, the latest development 
under a decades-old consent decree that allows the American Civil Liberties 
Union of Illinois to monitor the agency.

The report concluded that too many children who are wards of the state are
shuffled from placement to placement and forced to wait months for services. 
The result, the experts wrote, was an erosion of the children’s “already 
pronounced distrust in the system.” The beleaguered agency also suffers from 
an “absence of responsibility and accountability” when it comes to ensuring the 
children receive the help they need, according to the report.
