On January 25, a Marin County Family Court Mediator wrote a RECOMMENDATION that puts my son in harms way, that includes false statements, that lists the wrong court date, and that lacks due diligence required by this powerful position in determining a child's HEALTH, EDUCATION AND WELFARE. This court mediator's REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION has endangered my child with the reckless endorsement of a Troubled Teen Residential Facility, Utah, for my son that is not troubled. My child is not troubled as determined by his Superior Intelligence and Neuropsychological Report, by the current Developmental Pediatric Behaviorists' therapists statement that my son is not depressed, nor truant, nor a user of recreational drugs #substantiated by a drug test#. The attack on my son is because he has ADHD, diagnosed since the second grade, with a corresponding Individual Educational Program #IEP#. His performance has been constant with high test results, retained comprehension with failing grades for lack of homework. How many other families and children must be subjected to the Marin County Family Court Mediator's production of reckless CUSTODY REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS that ignore due diligence and endorse Troubled Teen Residential Facilities all to the detriment of children? It is time to stop the Marin County Family Court endorsement of child abuse. It is time to STOP CHILD ABUSE through unregulated Troubled Teen Residential Facilities now and STOP the MARIN COUNTY COURT MEDIATOR from putting my son in harms way. Will you sign my petition too?

Juvenile Bilal Rashad has been detained at Cheltenham Youth Facility in Croom, Maryland from March 27, 2013 to present for being found involved in theft of stealing several pieces of food and candy totaling $4.27 from a local Food Lion Store. This unusual incareration is due to (1) Judge Herman C. Dawson being allowed to practice prejudice in his Courtroom by allowing his negative personal feelings toward Bilal Rashad's mother's actions of filing a Writ of Habeus Corpus with the Federal Court to release her son to her and for the mother exercising her unalienable rights to not have her son's body used for human trafficking, kidnapping, extortion, diversity, peonage and racketeering. Juvenile Bilal Rashad's attorney stated for the record that he felt the Judge and the Assistant State's Attorney, Matthew S. Bohrer, were taking their personal feelings about Bilal Rashad's mother out on Bilal Rashad. Judge Herman Dawson just ordered that Bilal Rashad be placed in a group home, despite his father having a home for the child.

The mayor assigns the police chief and it’s his decision alone. When Stoney appointed Blackwell and now Gerard Smith from NC he has said both times he’s picked the right “man” for the job. Smith doesn’t know the Richmond community. Maybe a man isn’t equipped for this job. Richmond has never had a female chief Maybe the community should have some weigh. I’d like to give my 2 cents. Carol Adams has been a Richmond police officer for over 20 years. Weighing at 100 pounds this African American grandmother has never in her career injured a person, used lethal force and you’d be very hard to find a single person who’s met her with a bad word to say about her. But that’s not why she’s the right WOMAN. Carol knows hardship, pain, police negligence/misconduct and has paid dearly for it. Growing up in central Virginia, carols childhood wasn’t good. Her father was incredibly abusive, he’d beat her mother without mercy. Carol took many of these blows as a child trying to protect her mother. Back then DV wasn’t handled like it is today, if you can imagine it was much worse. Her and her siblings would call the police on their father, who’d do nothing. At the age of 17, her father (with her and her siblings in the home), fatally shot her mother numerous times. To this day Carol can still hear the pop, pop, pop of his gun, when she was a child her in her room. She knew he’d killed her without leaving her bedroom, he’d threatened to do it most of her life and he finally came through with that promise. Back then there was no DV that could help their family. The police made unconscionable comments about her mothers body. Carol didn’t dislike the police, she hated them. With time and help from her faith she realized, “if not me then who; if not now then when”? Carol joined the police department to make a difference. So her story wouldn’t be echoed again. Carol then created the Carol Adams Foundation dealing directly with domestic violence. She’s a well known person in communities that are often over looked, and she’s known not for being a cop but for being a part of the community. Carol was one of the first Domestic Violence nonprofits to provide equal services to men, LGBTQ community and to treat the entire family for domestic violence. In her words, we can’t just help the victim we must help the children and everyone who’s been impacted by DV. Throughout the covid crisis Carol has worked 12 hour overnight shifts to immediately go to Gilpin court to give out masks, food and other needed supplies to the community. If she’s not there then she’s helping victims and families of domestic violence, working in her community center that provides FREE daycare and educational programs to kids and adults, with her grandbabies and somewhere in between, finds time to sleep. To relive your trauma, anger everyday to help others take a strong person. It takes a selfless person. Carol is the epitome of making lemonade out of lemons. If Carol has personally taught me anything, that I will keep in my heart until I die it’s that kindness, compassion and empathy are the strongest things a person can have and everything I do I try to do with kindness (I’m not perfect but I’m trying). Candidly I don’t know if I lived through what Carol did I could be so kind. I can tell you first hand Carol has gone without to help vulnerable people. I’ve seen her do this with my own eyes. She’d literally take every stitch of clothing and dollar she had to help someone in need. But don’t take my word for it, ask the 100s of children, the women who’ve been beaten, ignored and left for dead or the folks in the community. Carols hated her father. While in prison for murdering her beautiful petite mother he was released early after developing terminal cancer, and he had nowhere to go. So Carol took him in and cared for him until he died. Because she needed to do the right thing, swallow that pain, anger and loss and be the better person. That alone is a level of love I don’t think I or most people I know would have the capacity for. That’s a saintly act right there.

In states and cities across America,  the LGBTQ+ community and drag performers are facing threats, bans, harassments and censorship. These attacks are designed to silence LGBTQ+ voices and erase trans and gender-nonconforming people from public life. When governments can ban one form of art, no creative expression is safe. We call on all elected officials to: • Reject restrictions on LGBTQ+ and drag events and ensure equal access to public venues • Reject legislation that singles out drag performances for restriction • Stop targeting LGBTQ+ people through discriminatory laws • Hold accountable those who threaten drag performers and venues • Focus on real issues instead of manufactured culture wars
