The court had ordered the return of the children. The father stood and asked to also be considered. So the caseworker decided after what she called careful consideration to place the children with their father. I questioned this careful consideration based on these facts. 1. The father took the stand and confessed to being a past meth cook and user and only proclaimed sobriaty without ever attending any type of rehabilitation. 2. The father had been arrested on 3 occations for probation violations for dirty ua's for meth. 3. Just last year he had a dirty ua for meth when tested by dhs. 4. He has allowed meth users around the children including a long time friend whom has been arrested over 10 times for possesion of meth. ( our children now know this mans name well) 5. The father has a lengthy crimanal record that includes theft, menicing, child endangerment, domestic violence and restraining order violations. 6. The father was staying in his brothers home ( who resently kicked him out) this brother had charges on his record for beating his daughter for dating a black boy. He was left alone with my children on several occations. My youngest child had welt of large hand prints on his arm after the uncle had lost control one night and tried kicking the kids and their dad out at 8pm. On october 2013. 7. The father and kids are currently staying in his moms 2bedroom home with the father step dad, mom, brother and a friend that was recently released from prison. 8. The father has on countless occation transported the children ages 8,5 & 4 without carseats or booster seats ( was filmed and witnessed by three others) 9. Has risked the childrens lives by not being able to understand instructions on proper administration of medication for child with benign rolandic seizures and taking 5 year old in for dental surgery ( even after being instructed not to bring her in sick) abd only informed the dentist of the child recovering strep throat after the dentist decided it wasnt safe to perform surgery from the sound of her lungs. 10. Also each of these very small children have lost 2 to 5 pounds in the two months they hace been in his care. I have spoken with the father and the caseworker of these and more safety concerns only to be dismissed and ignored. At this time i am requesting dhs follow the court order to return the children home. As i have no crimanal record, live in a four bedroom four bathroom home for over a year and a half. There are no safety concerns with my home or self presently and ive had the children with me from birth till five months ago. As well the children have been seperated and alienated from their two older sibling who still live with me. Please help me to get my younger children back home safe, stable and happy ( as tgey still ask when they can come home even in their fathers care.) Thank you for your help. For the lack of motivation to return children to safety in their best interest, I call to action to request this caseworker and her supervised be fired.

To many dogs are suffering in these puppy mills. According to the Humane Society of the United States out of 100 worst puppy mills 2 are located right here in Illinois. People pay large amounts of money for dogs that come from an uncared for, sick, deprived mother who is forced to mate. Many of these puppies from the store come with hidden health issues and when the owners cannot afford to take care of them they wind up in Humane Society's or abandoned. This only creates a larger issue of homeless animals!

A photo uploaded to Facebook this past Friday has gone viral due to its racist and disrespectful tenor. A trio of young Floridians appear in the image, a woman flanked by two men, with the two men unabashedly wearing handmade Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman Halloween costumes. The Zimmerman costume consists of a black "neighborhood watch" t-shirt while the Martin costume includes black face and a blood stained grey hooded sweatshirt. In addition, the Zimmerman character has fashioned his hand into a gun and is pointing it at Martin's head. Your policies state: •We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular points of view. But we don't permit hate speech (speech which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, and sexual orientation/gender identity). Hate Speech "Hate speech" refers to content that promotes hatred against members of a protected group. For instance, racist or sexist content may be considered hate speech. Sometimes there is a fine line between what is and what is not considered hate speech. For instance, it is generally okay to criticize a nation, but not okay to make insulting generalizations about people of a particular nationality. ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!!

Michigan is considering a bill requiring front license plates on cars and we Michiganders oppose this.

San Francisco citizens have taken part in years of planning for how to improve safety for all street users as our city grows. Wider sidewalks and bulbouts make walking more pleasant and crossing the street safer, especially for seniors and people with disabilities. Preservation of city-subsidized free parking shouldn't take precedence over pedestrian safety and a more walkable city. Details of plans for a better Potrero Avenue available at http://sfdpw.org/index.aspx?page=1673.

I would like to propose that our junior high start a soccer team for our boys and girls. This is a co-ed sport played in the spring. I believe that soccer can strive in our town and we can be the leaders in bringing it to other neighboring towns. Please sign this petition to help bring soccer to our community. Please only sign this petition if you are a resident of Brimfield or you have a child that goes to Brimfield.

It would be beneficial to children in Madison, SD, to expand and update the present skate park. The present skate park limits children's abilities due to space and quality. By updating the skate park we have the potential to motivate the local youth to get outside and be active. By expanding the skate park we can prevent youth skaters, skating on public property.
