Washington Mom Fights to Get Son Back Who Was Wrongfully Taken Away Due to Her Medical Cannabis Treatment

A Washington couple, Sophia Rosas and Sean Kilkenny, of Bremerton, have been fighting for their two boys for the last 2 years. Not knowing how to speak for herself in court, Sophia was allegedly manipulated and coerced by her public defender to do what the CPS social workers at the Washington Department of Children, Family and Youth (DCYF) told her to do. But now Sophia has found her voice, learned how to file her own court documents, and she says since she began representing herself, “Everything is changing so fast!” Prior to firing her attorney, Sophia says that she felt coerced and intimidated anytime she disagreed and wanted to challenge what the Department was saying in court. She says she was not ever truly informed of her rights under The United States Constitution or even the Washington State Constitution, both of which require due process, including a hearing with witnesses and evidence, in order to restrict parental rights. Sophia says she doesn’t know what is going to happen in court on Wednesday, September 30th, but that things are definitely different. She feels that she is being treated with much more respect since she fired her inadequate attorney and took over her own cases. Sophia is obviously nervous, but says she believes that “justice will be done, either now - or later if I am forced to appeal to the higher courts.” She says she will never quit fighting to bring BOTH of her boys home, no matter how far she must go. “They should be home with me, where they belong… I will never give up my babies.”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Opening Florida Due to New CDC Numbers Showing Very Low COVID Death Rates

The Centers for Disease Control have come out with a new estimate of the Covid infection fatality ratio and the numbers will shock you. No wonder the Florida governor has said "enough is enough" and decided to open his state up completely. We are told to trust the CDC, so why is the mainstream media ignoring this very important news? Is this still about a disease...or is it politics? Also, YouTube has censored Dr. Paul's Liberty Report, and is threatening to remove their entire channel.

Prominent Medical Doctor Arrested in London Protests: “What Kind of a Country Have We Become?”

Protesters in Trafalgar Square, London were standing up for freedom of expression and human rights. Heiko Schöning, MD a prominent German medical doctor who heads Doctors For Truth, an organization of more than a thousand doctors who oppose government fearmongering, was arrested in Trafalgar Square, London for speaking against draconian government measures. He noted that the people in Germany know, from their Nazi history where government restrictions on personal freedom and medical dictates lead. In June, Facebook censored a video presentation by Dr. Schöning in which he stated that: “the corona is just a type of flu that occurs at a certain time each year, and the strict measures that have been introduced, allegedly have nothing to do with the virus but only caused panic. The corona panic is a simple deception, mafia trick and crime.”

Placer County California Reopens Businesses, Schools, Churches in Defiance of Gov. Newsom, and COVID Incidents Decrease – Model for Rest of California?

Kirk Uhler is the elected County Supervisor for the 4th District in Placer County, California. Placer County made news earlier this month (September, 2020) when the Board of Supervisors voted to remove all the COVID pandemic measures, allowing businesses, schools, and churches to re-open, risking losing state funding for defying Governor Newsom. As can be expected, Big Pharma interests kicked into high gear to protest the County's actions. Placer County Health Officer and Public Health Director, Dr. Aimee Sisson, for example, resigned from her position. Kirk Uhler streamed a Facebook video this week exposing the lies in a Sacramento Bee's article that blamed the unanimous Board resolution on "anti-vaxxers." In Uhler's video, he shows how New COVID cases, county residents hospitalized, positive test results, and cases per 100,000 have all dramatically DECREASED since the Board passed their resolution, which of course should silence all of their critics, except that those who want to continue "emergency" dictates indefinitely really do not care about statistics, or the truth. Other counties throughout California should now follow suit, and put the health and lives of their constituents as first priority over the tyrannical State Government's desire to continue destroying the economy of California, and any potential loss of COVID funding (which can be challenged in court as well).

Cashless Society Coming Soon? The Fed Is Preparing To Deposit “Digital Dollars” Directly To “Each American”

The Globalists want a cashless society so that they can remove any shred of privacy people still have, and have complete control over the monetary system. COVID is being used to rush these plans into place. This week, Tyler Durden, writing for ZeroHedge, reported that there is proposed legislation now for "Central Bank Digital Currencies" where every person in America would have a digital account where these digital currencies would be deposited during pandemics. Cleveland Fed president Loretta Mester delivered a speech to the Chicago Payment Symposium titled "Payments and the Pandemic", in which after going through the big picture boilerplate, Mester goes straight to the matter at hand. In the section titled "Central Bank Digital Currencies", the Cleveland Fed president writes that "the experience with pandemic emergency payments has brought forward an idea that was already gaining increased attention at central banks around the world, that is, central bank digital currency (CBDC)." And in the shocking punchline, then goes on to reveal that "legislation has proposed that each American have an account at the Fed in which digital dollars could be deposited, as liabilities of the Federal Reserve Banks, which could be used for emergency payments." But wait it gets better, because in launching digital cash, the Fed would then be able to scrap "anonymous" physical currency entirely, and track every single banknote from its "creation" all though the various transactions that take place during its lifetime. And, eventually, the Fed could remotely "destroy" said digital currency when it so decides. Oh, and in the process the Fed would effectively disintermediate commercial banks, as it would both provide loans to US consumers and directly deposit funds into their accounts, effectively making the entire traditional banking system obsolete.

Four Decades of Deceit and Covering Up Vaccine Injuries and Deaths Leads to Mistrust of American Public Regarding Experimental COVID Vaccine

This year, the orchestrated actions by governments around the world to restrict or eliminate civil liberties in response to the emergence of a new coronavirus has been unprecedented, and it has had profound effects on the global economy and on the physical, mental and emotional health of billions of people. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the overall mortality rate for the new SARS coronavirus causing COVID-19 is about 0.6 percent, although some scientists say it is lower, 6 while others estimate it can be as high as one to two percent in some parts of the world. Compared to Ebola with a 50 percent mortality rate 8or smallpox, at 30 percent; 9 tuberculosis at 20 to 70 percent; 10 diphtheria at 5 to 10 percent; 11 or the 1918 influenza pandemic with a 2.5 percent mortality rate, 12 COVID-19 is near the bottom of the infectious diseases mortality scale with a less one percent mortality rate in most countries. Those at highest risk for complications and death include the elderly and those with one or more poor health conditions. The CDC recently reported that only six percent of COVID-19-related deaths were solely due to coronavirus infection and 94 percent of the people who died also had influenza or pneumonia; heart, lung or kidney disease; high blood pressure; diabetes, or another underlying poor health condition. Most studies suggest it is rare for children to suffer complications and die from COVID-19. But seven months after the World Health Organization 16 declared a coronavirus pandemic, and public health officials persuaded lawmakers to turn the world upside down, a lot of people are asking questions and so are doctors who disagree with each other about the facts. Doctors and public health officials wondering why people don’t trust what they say about infectious diseases and vaccination, including coronavirus and COVID-19 vaccines, only have to look in the mirror to answer the question. Since 1982, parents of vaccine injured children have been begging doctors to do the kind of science that will explain why so many highly vaccinated children, who don’t get measles or chicken pox anymore, are stuck on sick and suffering with brain and autoimmune disorders that never go away. For four decades we have been asking doctors and government health officials to stop sweeping casualties of inhumane one-size-fits all vaccine policies under the rug. What we get from medical professors in universities receiving lots of money from the government and pharmaceutical companies, and from doctors developing vaccines, and from public health officials pushing “no exceptions” vaccination policies is threats, name-calling, bullying and punishment if we try to exercise informed consent to vaccination. There is no other word for it but abuse.

No, The U.S. Supreme Court Will Not Save Us

The U.S. Supreme Court will not save us. It doesn’t matter which party gets to pick the replacement to fill Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. The battle that is gearing up right now is yet more distraction and spin to keep us oblivious to the steady encroachment on our rights by the architects of the American Police State.   Americans can no longer rely on the courts to mete out justice. Although the courts were established to serve as Courts of Justice, what we have been saddled with, instead, are Courts of Order. This is true at all levels of the judiciary, but especially so in the highest court of the land, the U.S. Supreme Court, which is seemingly more concerned with establishing order and protecting government interests than with upholding the rights of the people enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. As a result, the police and other government agents have been generally empowered to probe, poke, pinch, taser, search, seize, strip and generally manhandle anyone they see fit in almost any circumstance, all with the general blessing of the courts. The system is rigged. Because the system is rigged and the U.S. Supreme Court—the so-called “people’s court”—has exchanged its appointed role as a gatekeeper of justice for its new role as maintainer of the status quo, the police state will keep winning and “we the people” will keep losing. For those deluded enough to believe that they’re living the American dream—where the government represents the people, where the people are equal in the eyes of the law, where the courts are arbiters of justice, where the police are keepers of the peace, and where the law is applied equally as a means of protecting the rights of the people—it’s time to wake up. We no longer have a representative government, a rule of law, or justice. Liberty has fallen to legalism. Freedom has fallen to fascism. Justice has become jaded, jaundiced and just plain unjust. And for too many, the American dream of freedom and opportunity has turned into a living nightmare.

Study: Proper Levels of Vitamin D will Prevent COVID – Vaccine not Needed

Dr. Michael Holick, professor of medicine, physiology and biophysics at Boston University School of Medicine, is an expert on Vitamin D, and we have featured his work on Health Impact News in the past. Much of Dr. Holick's previous work on Vitamin D has been in the area of "brittle bone" diseases, which often lead to false charges of Shaken Baby Syndrome and wrongly accusing parents of committing child abuse based on radiology reports showing bone fractures that have healed in young children, who are basically Vitamin D deficient. A recent study conducted by Dr. Holick and his associates looked at samples from Quest Diagnostics of more than 190,000 Americans from all 50 states and found that those who had deficient levels of vitamin D had 54% higher COVID positivity compared to those with adequate levels of vitamin D in the blood. “The higher your vitamin D status, lower was your risk,” Holick said. So now we can add Vitamin D to the list of simple, effective cures for SARS-CoV-2, joining hydroxychloroquine, Vitamin C, ozone treatment, among others. Of course Big Pharma and the government health dictators will continue to deny these treatments, because the ramifications for their effectiveness would prove they are criminals and mass murderers, and that a COVID vaccine and new COVID drugs are just simply not needed. Then they would have to give the government back their $1 TRILLION + in funding to develop these drugs and treatments, and face charges in a court of law for mass murder by preventing these treatments, and attacking doctors who use them to save patients' lives. Real cures are just simply not profitable for Big Pharma and their Wall Street bankers who control the government, and they cannot be allowed.

Many have Fought and Died in Order to Protect Free Speech, but the Biggest Censorship Push in History is Taking Place Today

Current censorship has reached levels not seen in the past, and with all the advanced technology available, this nefarious plot to silence the thinkers and hide the truth could affect all forms of speech. It is getting much more difficult to find truthful information, as those like Google, Amazon, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and many other venues are eliminating content and access to content at a blistering pace. A day rarely goes by without something I am reading or researching on these sites being taken down or hidden. This can only lead to a world consumed by propaganda alone, thus guaranteeing that only the state narrative will be presented in any mainstream or easily accessible format. This is a dangerous situation, especially considering the likelihood that through vaccination or other methods, much of the population could soon become subject to transhuman experimentation where injectable nanoparticles and chips could be used to alter human behavior. This is not a new phenomenon, as tyrants throughout human history have censored writing and speech in order to protect their power structure. Power is always troubled by any that dare to think, and any that dare to question. Many have fought and died in order to protect free speech, but all speech is now under attack by the forces of evil. If the globalists have their way, free speech will be lost forever.

Satan Owns NOBODY! The Invitation to Join God’s Kingdom is Available to EVERYONE!

Jesus Christ: "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the assembly; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation..."(Colossians 1:15-22) In this world we have good news, and we have bad news. The bad news far outweighs the good news, at least by volume. But in terms of quality, the best news is what is described by the apostle Paul in the verses just quoted above in his letter to the believers in Colosse during the First Century. In short: Jesus created EVERYTHING, and Jesus OWNS everything. And yes, EVERYTHING is literal and means EVERYTHING. Put in negative terms: Satan owns NOTHING. Satan owns NOBODY. In fact, Christ OWNS SATAN, because he created him, he who was formerly an Angel of Light, but is now the Prince of Darkness. Satan, the Devil, once had a claim on others, on those who rebelled against God, as he did. But not anymore. After Jesus came to earth in human form, taking on the form of a helpless baby that Satan tried hard to destroy, and then grew up into a man and freely gave up his own earthly life as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world, he paid a costly price to purchase back everyone who was previously lost. One of the biggest lies that Satan, the father of lies, wants you to believe, is that you cannot be saved. That you are beyond hope, that because of your past, or your family, or some terrible things you have done in your life, that you are beyond hope and doomed to whatever the future has in store for you. This is a lie! You were created in the image of God. And even if you have been traveling down the wrong road in life, as long as you have breath and a heart beat, you can claim the redemption that Christ paid for by his own blood, which satisfied God's anger and judgement against your sins: past, present, and future. The redemption that Christ purchased is rightfully yours. Not because you deserve it. Not because you earned it. But because God loves you, and he wants you to come home.

CDC Director Redfield Lies to Congress About Masks – Loses All Credibility

CDC director Robert Redfield appeared before Congress this week, and quite frankly, he made a fool out of himself. Not only did he reverse his previous recommendations on face masks when he previously stated healthy people should not wear them, he is now saying that the "science" behind wearing face masks to reduce exposure to the COVID virus makes them more effective than a COVID vaccine. Watch this episode of The Liberty Report with Dr. Ron Paul as they expose the hypocrisy and lies of our government bureaucrat "doctors" when it comes to COVID mandates.

The “Canary in the Coal Mine” Just Died, Are we Next? Dane Wigington Continues to Expose the False Climate Change Narrative with Facts

Dane Wigington of Geoengineeringwatch.org has just published the second installment of short videos titled: Into The Wild, With Dane Wigington. In his first video last week, Wigington explained how neither the Right nor Left versions of the cause of fires currently burning were entirely correct. The Political Left wants us to believe this is the cause of Climate Change which needs further government intervention, while the Political Right is claiming that we have not been cutting down enough trees, and that this is all due to arsonists. Each side has an element of truth, but the underlying cause is Geoengineering, by creating artificial clouds (chemtrails) to try and engineer climate change. In his second video just published this week, Wigington deals with the massive amounts of frogs dying in northern California, just a few feet away from bodies of water, water that would probably have saved them if they had just been able to cover those few feet to reach the water. He states: "Frogs are a harbinger species, 'the canary in the coal mine', and they are dying. The warning signs from nature are everywhere, yet few seem to notice. Have we become the proverbial frogs in boiling water? Will the fate of the frogs soon become our own? This is the second installment of 'Into The Wild.' Flora and fauna are dying and burning all over the world, covert climate engineering operations are a core causal factor. All are needed in the critical battle to wake populations to what is coming, we must make every day count. Share credible data from a credible source, make your voice heard. Awareness raising efforts can be carried out from your own home computer."

Virtual School Dangers: Police State Education Comes into Your Home Violating the 4th Amendment

The COVID-19 pandemic has added yet another troubling layer to the ways in which students (and their families) can run afoul of a police state education now that school (virtual or in-person) is back in session. Significant numbers of schools within the nation’s 13,000 school districts have opted to hold their classes online, in-person or a hybrid of the two, fearing further outbreaks of the virus. Yet this unprecedented foray into the virtual world carries its own unique risks. Apart from the technological logistics of ensuring that millions of students across the country have adequate computer and internet access, consider the Fourth Amendment ramifications of having students attend school online via video classes from the privacy of their homes. Suddenly, you’ve got government officials (in this case, teachers or anyone at the school on the other end of that virtual connection) being allowed carte blanche visual access to the inside of one’s private home without a warrant. Anything those school officials see—anything they hear—anything they photograph or record—during that virtual visit becomes fair game for scrutiny and investigation not just by school officials but by every interconnected government agency to which that information can be relayed: the police, social services, animal control, the Department of Homeland Security, you name it. After all, this is the age of overcriminalization, when the federal criminal code is so vast that the average American unknowingly commits about three federal felonies per day, a U.S. Attorney can find a way to charge just about anyone with violating federal law.

Polio Vaccine Causing Polio Outbreaks in Africa, WHO Admits

A year ago, news outlets briefly shone a light on the fact (a fact that makes public health officials squirm) that oral polio vaccines are causing polio outbreaks. With reports streaming in throughout 2019 regarding the circulation of vaccine-derived polioviruses in numerous African and Asian countries, a CDC virologist confessed, “We have now created more new emergences of the virus than we have stopped.” This month, the same story is making the same headlines, with the WHO’s shamefaced announcement that the oral polio vaccine is responsible for an alarming polio outbreak in Sudan—“linked to an ongoing vaccine-sparked epidemic in Chad”—with parallel outbreaks in a dozen other African countries. In fact, between August 2019 and August 2020, there were 400 recorded cases of vaccine-derived polio in more than 20 countries worldwide. Ironically, WHO disclosed this “setback” barely a week after it declared the African continent to be free of wild poliovirus—which has not been seen in Africa since 2016.

Did the Federal Government Just Secretly Take Over Vaccine Policy Usurping the Authority of the States?

Over the course of the last several months there have been a few developments, when looked at individually, that do not create much of a response or concern to the masses. Yet when you zoom out a bit, these events, scattered about and seemingly not connected, start to fit together into a pattern. The events I refer to are: 1) The enactment of The PREP Act by the Secretary of HHS. 2) The Secretary of HHS actions to remove shoulder injury and syncope from the NVICP. 3) The Secretary of HHS amending the PREP Act to allow pharmacists to administer childhood vaccines to our kids ages 3-18. 4) The Secretary of HHS issuing guidance allowing pharmacists to administer an approved COVID vaccine to kids ages 3-18. By connecting the actions of the Secretary of HHS and those dots (actions), it does give the appearance of: A complete federalization of our nation’s vaccine policy traditionally conducted and carried out by the states.  Using the PREP Act, without consultation by Congress, circumventing state legislatures, our federal government is now creating vaccine standards and policy.

West Coast Fires: The Forests Are Dying Due to Geoengineering – If the Forests Die, We Will Die

We are currently seeing unprecedented numbers of forest fires along the West Coast of the United States. The sheer volume of fires and acreage involved is something that has never been seen before. And while some are starting to report that arsonists have been arrested in some locations which may point to a planned operation to start these forest fires, the real underlying cause for these fires is largely NOT being reported by the media. The official government position is that we just have not been cutting down enough trees, and that most of these fires are "natural," being ignited by lightning or other natural causes. Others point to climate change, which fits into the UN New World Order sustainable goals. And while both of these may be contributing factors, others, like Dane Wigington of Geoengineeringwatch.org in Shasta County, California, are claiming that these fires are the result of Geoengineering, the Globalists' plan to modify weather patterns by creating artificial clouds, commonly known as "chemtrails." He states: "The decay of the forest, the demise of the forest, is not being acknowledged by the agencies, the agency officials, and the administration itself that have tried to falsely claim that the reason California's fires are burning is because we just aren't cutting down enough trees. That's a blatant glaring criminal lie. The forests are burning because they are dead and dying.... Toxic soils, extremely extended periods without precipitation because of the climate engineering operations. Cutting off precipitation before it can enter the U.S. West Coast - we see this on satellite imagery. It's not speculation or theory. And so the forest is completely imploding around us. And if the forests die, we will die."

Covid-19 or Covid-9-11? The Modern U.S. History of Tyranny

On the eve of the 9-11 anniversary, it is imperative to look at government caused and staged events from the angle of extreme criticism. This criticism need not be considered from the standpoint of speculation or ‘conspiracy theory,’ although any collusion at high levels for the purpose of attaining a particular outcome is certainly conspiratorial. False flag events are always meant to fool the people into supporting a particular agenda sought by the ruling ‘elites,’ and in turn are designed to be a war against you as citizens of a corrupt state. This new false flag called Covid-19 was long ago designed in order to effect global dominance by the few over the rest of us. Will this be a successful coup? Will the people of this country acquiesce to the will of tyrants? Will the people allow for the continued murder of their families and neighbors by the state? Will the people continue to hide from themselves and the truth? Will the people never fight back? Will the people allow themselves to become the serfs in a society ruled by kings? That is what is coming, and there is only one thing standing in the way of the oppressors, and that is mass resistance by the majority. Without the courage to fight against the ruling class, we will soon be left with nothing, and will have allowed our own servitude.

September DOJ Report Lists 200 Vaccine Injuries and 1 Vaccine Death Compensated During 6 Month Period – And that’s Without a Fast-Tracked COVID Vaccine

The federal government Advisory Commission on Childhood Vaccines (ACCV) under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services met on September 4, 2020, and the Department of Justice reported that during a 6-month period from February 16th through August 15th this year, 200 vaccine injuries and one death were compensated through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP). The NVICP was started as a result of a law passed in 1986 that gave pharmaceutical companies legal immunity from being sued due to injuries and deaths resulting from vaccines. Today, anyone suffering from a vaccine injury or death must sue the U.S. Government and go up against their top attorneys. So far in 2020 the NVICP has paid out $200 MILLION in damages due to vaccine injuries and deaths. These damages were caused primarily by the annual flu vaccine, and other childhood vaccines that have gone through the FDA approval process. What will these numbers look like after the COVID vaccines are fast-tracked? We will probably never even know, because The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act), which was invoked because of the COVID "Pandemic" earlier this year, will absolve the U.S. Government from even having to try cases and award damages to any injuries or deaths related to a COVID vaccine. So if people start dying in mass, and if new injuries result from this COVID vaccine, Big Pharma, Big Tech, and the U.S. Government will undoubtedly blame the injuries and deaths on either the second wave of SARS-CoV-2, or some new plandemic that will lead to far more tyrannical actions than anything we have seen so far. Welcome to the New World Order, where a massive reduction of the world's population is the goal, and where mass deaths are already expected this fall.

Total Global Dominance: Gates Foundation is Destabilizing Africa’s Food Economy

The same Gates Foundation which is behind every aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic from financing much of the WHO budget, to investing in favored vaccine-makers like Moderna, is engaged in a major project in Africa which is destroying traditional small farmer production of essential food crops in favor of monoculture crops and introduction of expensive chemical fertilizers and GMO seeds that are bankrupting small farmers. The project, the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), is directly connected with key global institutions behind the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset. If we know the actual history of the Rockefeller Foundation and related tax-free undertakings of one of the world’s most influential families, it is clear that in key areas the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has inherited the Rockefeller agenda from the medical industrial complex to education to agriculture transformation. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, working in tandem with the closely allied Rockefeller Foundation, is not only at the center of the orchestration of unheard-of severe economic lockdown measures for the much-disputed COVID-19 illness. The Gates foundation is also at the very center of the UN Agenda 30 push to transform world agriculture into what they call “sustainable” agriculture. During the global grain crisis of the mid-1970’s then-US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, another Rockefeller protégé, allegedly declared, “Who controls the food controls the people.” The globalization of world food production and creation of agribusiness, first guided by the Rockefeller Foundation and today with the Gates Foundation taking a more visible lead, is perhaps the most threatening factor to world health and mortality, far more than any coronavirus has shown. Notably the same people promoting fear and lockdowns for that putative virus are busy reorganizing world food production in an unhealthy manner. It seems to be no coincidence as Bill Gates is a known advocate of eugenics and population reduction.

Kentucky Court Rejects Immunity Claim for Social Worker Illegally Entering Home and Strip Searching Children

Thanks to a ruling in a federal district court in Kentucky last [month], a child welfare investigator can no longer claim qualified immunity for bullying their way into a home and strip-searching children without cause. The case, Josiah Curry, et al v. Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, et al, arose from a 2017 incident. On a cool March day, Holly Curry opted to leave her children asleep in her van while she went into a café to get them some muffins. She was inside less than ten minutes, but thanks to an anonymous hotline tip, she was met by a police officer when she came back outside. The officer did not file any charges against Holly, but he warned her not to leave her children unattended. And he told her he would have to report the incident to the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services. The following day, child welfare investigator Jeanetta Childress went to the Curry home and insisted on being allowed inside. Holly asked to see a warrant, and when Childress failed to produce one, refused to let her in. Childress left to get police officer Michael Furnish, then returned. Again, Curry asked to see their warrant, and again, there was none. But Childress, backed by an armed and uniformed Furnish, threatened to take the Curry children into foster care if Childress and Furnish were not allowed in to investigate. In tears, Holly finally relented. Once inside, Childress proceeded to interview the two oldest children alone, then to strip-search the youngest children, with Furnish’s help. Finding no evidence of any wrongdoing—not surprising, since no abuse had ever been alleged—Childress closed the case as “unsubstantiated.” And, far too often, that would have been the end of the story. But in this case, the Currys filed suit against both Childress and Furnish for violating their Fourth Amendment right to be secure in their homes and their children’s Fourth Amendment right to bodily integrity. In other words, the Currys alleged that both the warrantless, forced entry and the strip searches of the children violated the Constitution.
