Toledo school district leading the way for CPS referrals. They befriend kids with fun songs in music class and encourage students to disrobe to show their bruises even if its not from abuse. They then say the kids are dirty,… and have bad attendance records even when they get attendance awards. The ex-junkie, rainbow haired CPS workers really enjoy the scenery whilst kidnapping children in their hybrid SUV’s; making ‘hillbillys’ mad with false allegations. They interrogate children during lunch time often withholding food. Bus drivers report and document even a single late parent drop off of children as ‘child neglect’. Family court is so full they have an overflow into the lobby. TWO-THIRDS of all child abuse allegations are UNFOUNDED and are rising. Good job Bower. Great school. End State sponsored kidnapping and extortion. All to keep those gavels pounding. It is happening here in Lewis County.
