Williamsburg mom prepared to face charges for abandoning “dangerous” son

Williamsburg, Va. – Kimberlyn Williams feels unsafe in her own home because of her 12-year-old son.

“I am his mother and I do love him, but he`s dangerous,” Williams says.

She says he’s so dangerous that she is prepared to face jail time to keep him out of the house, to not only protect herself, but her two younger children.

“I have been hit, bit, kicked,” she says. “He has threatened to stab children at school, to kill them. He has these outbursts.”

She says her son is now at Riverside Behavioral Health Center in Hampton. He was put there after Williams called police last week because of what she says she witnessed between her son and four-year-old daughter.

“When I went in, I found him exposing himself to her and trying to coerce her to touch him,” Williams says.

Williams says that was the final straw after years of violent and inappropriate behavior, and years of trying to get him the help he needs.

“It`s not a case of us not trying to get him help,” she says. “This is not an isolated incident. It’s been a gauntlet of doctors and medications and diagnoses.”

Her son is set to be released Thursday, but Williams does not want to bring him home.

“If I do not show up to get him, I will face criminal charges or child abandonment,” she says.

Williams says Child Protective Services told her if she refuses to take him, her son would be placed in a 24-hour supervision residential facility — something she’s wanted all along. She says it would take police arresting her to get her wish.

“I want something to get done,” Williams says. “I don`t want it to be you take this one and you risk your other children’s health and safety or you go to jail. There has to be a better way.”

To get her son the help he needs, Williams says she’s prepared to face the consequences.

“Nobody wants to talk about this,” she says. “It`s something we would certainly consider a private family issue, but along those lines maybe it can help other people.”

So they’ll lock up the mother and not the dangerous 12 year old.

“Star is a conservative so he’ d cash in his 401k and spend down his savings and pay $2,000 a day out of pocket to institutionalize his insane kid. Then when his money ran out he’d do the same thing as this mom.”

Of course he would.

If you’re asking for government to step in and solve problems, that’s precisely the issue that we deal with as conservatives ... trying to stop that mentality, stop those programs and stop the “nanny state”. AND ... a real big deal with conservatives is having the “nanny state” in their families. SO it’s like asking the DEVIL for help in your problem when the DEVIL is trying to destroy everything you stand for. It’s a deal that won’t work.

SO ... it’s NOT the part of “not having answers” that would turn you into a liberal ... it’s the part where you advocate for a “nanny state” to intervene and help you. THAT is the part that is the problem. You can’t ask the government (AKA “nanny state”) to come in and rescue you, and then in the next breath, tell them to stay out of your family!

Therefore if someone asks the “nanny state” for assistance from the very programs and agencies that we, as conservatives, say shouldn’t even exist in the first place — then that person is promoting and perpetrating that “nanny state” and those LIBERAL VALUES!

SO ... what we’re telling the conservatives on Free Republic is that ...

“You are only a conservative as long as you have money, and when you run out, your true LIBERAL PERSONALITY comes out and you turn to those liberal values!”

I would like to see how “that accusation” goes over with the rest of the conservatives on Free Republic! ... LOL ...

Ah. I see now. You favor rugged individualism.
Every man stands alone. Captains his own boat deals with all of his own problems with nothing from the government.

Very simply ... the conservative principles and values ... which is how this country was founded and built ... or ... if you will, what Free Republic stands for.

You have a really hard time answering a question don’t you? Lol.
Have you just memorized that one answer haha.

As to what Free Republic stands for, seems more than a few Freepers disagree with your position.

Let me guess. You’re the only real conservative.
Everybody else is just faking it. Haha.

Here’s something you might be interested in ...

Statement by the founder of Free Republic:

In our continuing fight for freedom, for America and our constitution and against totalitarianism, socialism, tyranny, terrorism, etc., Free Republic stands firmly on the side of right, i.e., the conservative side. Believing that the best defense is a strong offense, we (myself and those whom I’m trying to attract to FR) support the strategy of taking the fight to the enemy as opposed to allowing the enemy the luxury of conducting their attacks on us at home on their terms and on their schedule.

Therefore, we wholeheartedly support the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes on known terrorist states and organizations that are believed to present a clear threat to our freedom or national security. We support our military, our troops and our Commander-in-Chief and we oppose turning control of our government back over to the liberals and socialists who favor appeasement, weakness, and subserviency. We do not believe in surrendering to the terrorists as France, Germany, Russia and Spain have done and as Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton and the Democrats, et al, are proposing.

As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.

Free Republic is private property. It is not a government project, nor is it funded by government or taxpayer money. We are not a publicly owned entity nor are we an IRS tax-free non-profit organization. We pay all applicable taxes on our income. We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity. We sell no merchandise, product or service, and we offer no subscriptions or paid memberships. We accept no paid advertising or promotions. We are funded solely by donations (non tax deductible gifts) from our readers and participants.

We aggressively defend our God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion, and freedom of association, as well as our constitutional right to control the use and content of our own personal private property. Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is not a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of life.

Our God-given liberty and freedoms are not negotiable.

May God bless and protect our men and women in uniform fighting for our freedom and may God continue to bless America.

Jim Robinson

There’s more there than applies here, but I included it all for the context.

From what I read from FReepers is that they don’t invite the nanny-state government into their families to solve their problems. They want the nanny-state government to butt out!

Well that’s quite interesting ... to call the rejection of the nanny-state government, and rejection of government in family affairs ... as trollish behavior ...

I hope you know this isn’t the “Democratic Underground” ... LOL ...

No, I have been here as long as you.
Your absolute inability to separate states rights from “dangerous people” is mind boggling however. Harassing people who live with this nightmare over your pet Constitutional gripe is either utterly insensitive or a mindset that you cannot seem to move beyond.
Had you ever experienced this nightmare..your perspective would likely be more circumspect.

Sorry to interupt, but how is it a conservative value to leave this mother helpless? It would likely result in injury to this child and the others in the home.
