VOTE for me on MAHA "Nominees For The People" Site: My Nomination page is finally LIVE!

I know the insides of these systems and how they hurt children. Please help me get an opportunity to overhaul DHHS and the Dept of Education!

I have spent nearly 30 years witnessing, observing, and rescuing children from the dangerous, harmful, and corrupt insides of community programs, clinics, and schools under the control of DHHS and the Department of Education. I have stood up proudly and spoken up to fight for abused and neglected children when superiors told me to stand down and shut up. I refused. As a result, the children and families I have worked for have been helped to heal. I still have refused to shut up when DHHS has recently tried to silence my advocacy for two children who have been left languishing in residential facilities for years, with no forever families. As a woman with autism, I have the fortitude and tenacity to stand up for children in a way that few other child advocates dare—and I have proven this over decades. While most adults in systems under DHHS and the Dept. of Education advocate for other adults within those systems, I advocate for the children and youths.

I love the children and families whom I have served and still serve, and I am fueled by their stories, pain, and hope. I am also fueled by my love for my late son, Brycen, the granddaughter I have lost, and my promise to keep Brycen’s story and voice alive! Never underestimate the power, fierce strength, and passion of a bereaved parent or grandparent! And never underestimate the tenacity of a professional and child advocate on the autism spectrum!

I would be honored to serve the American people by helping President Donald Trump and MAHA founder, Bobby Kennedy, Jr. flush out those in DHHS and Dept. of Education positions of power who exhibit/or participate in ineptness, incompetence, apathy, “can’t do” attitudes, callousness, corruption, dark money, greed, “swamp”-influence, and deliberate abuse, neglect, violence, and harm toward children, youths, and families. There is no more excuse nor tolerance for school teachers, social workers, therapists, and other professionals who play out their personal childhood traumas on the psyches and bodies of innocent children and youths. Their jobs are to show compassion and empathy, and to relieve suffering and provide guidance, yet they do the opposite, deepening the traumas of children and families and the emotional, behavioral, and learning problems of our vulnerable kids.
