One Love Longview, TX

Amanda and the staff of One Love Longview have recently been the focus of a concerted effort by the City of Longview to shutter their facility since city officials and the Longview Police Department co-hosted an official meeting at a local church as a public stoning of the organization. This was followed by law enforcement physically arresting One Love Longview’s clients at alarmingly higher rates under local ordinances. At the same time, other citizens received only verbal warnings or citations for the same offenses, which included walking against the flow of traffic, riding a bicycle against the flow of traffic, and jaywalking.

Mason and Madalyn Savely

The Savely family has spent over $100,000 on legal fees and medical experts, an overwhelming financial burden resulting from CPS relying on the opinion of a CAP rather than doing its due diligence and adequately investigating the allegation of abuse. CPS has taken an opinion and represented it as a fact, fracturing another innocent family.

rebekah massie

You Are The Power member Rebekah Massie decided to speak out during open comment at a Surprise, AZ council meeting. A move they found disrespectful and in violation of their policy of banning critical speech towards members of the government – a policy that is rather unconstitutional as the First Amendment was written specifically to protect political speech.
Maricopa County Justice of the Peace Gerald A Williams agreed that her trespass, removal, and arrest violated her rights and has dismissed the case with prejudice, ensuring that further actions by Surprise, AZ officials cannot be levied against her.

Cheyenne Benthin

The Maricopa County Attorney’s office has declined to prosecute Cheyenne and the Gilbert Police Department has officially CLOSED their case!

Although Cheyenne and her legal team still have their fight for reinstatement of custody of her daughter, this will be a major help in that fight.

We want to thank MCAO for coming to the right decision and listening to the facts and following the evidence of this case.

Damani Clarke and Shelby Whiting-Clarke

Damani Clarke and Shelby Whiting-Clarke are parents to Anariah, a beautiful one-year-old girl. Inherited health conditions lead to her suffering a variety of issues. A series of events would lead to Anariah to be taken to Wolfson Children’s Hospital, where Child Abuse Pediatricians would once again diagnose abuse when there was none.

At their dependency hearing, medical experts for Damani and Shelby testified that Anariah had Metabolic Bone Disease, poor bone mineralization, and ossification defects and that periosteal reactions are quite normal in long bones of infants and are representative of fast growth and not fracture lines. This testimony was disregarded.

The state seeks to terminate the parental rights of Damani and Shelby and have Anariah adopted.

Casey and Bailey Collins

Their son, Ridge, suffered injuries after a difficult premature birth. At three months of age, he had a seizure and went unresponsive. He was life flighted to CHOA where Dr. Stephen Messner declared his injuries the result of abuse without ever consulting his birth records. Local law enforcement, without doing their due diligence, relied solely on the opinions of Dr. Messner and Dr. Iannelli and arrested Casey and Bailey Collins. They were charged with Cruelty to Children in the 1st Degree and have not been indicted. The Georgia family court cleared Casey and Bailey and reunited the family, but the criminal court case is still pending. how you can help…

Matt and Taki Hernandez

The Matthew and Wilairat Hernandez family has been torn apart due to false accusations of child abuse against the mother by the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS).  In this case, there is strong evidence and testimony of many family members and friends that indicate Mrs. Wilairat Hernandez has been falsely charged and arrested for abusing their seven-month-old daughter, Emma, and her family unjustly separated. Their children, Emma and Arya, 3-years-11-months old were removed and placed in foster care. More…

Brady and Carrie Timms

Brady and Carrie Timms are the parents of a two-year-old boy, Jameson (JT), who began having health concerns when he was only six weeks old. Jameson was taken to his pediatrician each time and hospitalized on several occasions. At three months old, Jameson was taken to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) on the advice of their pediatrician.
