Lindsey Graham, the owner of Glamour Salon in Salem, Oregon, has been harassed by numerous government agencies for reopening her salon despite Gov. Kate Brown's (D) stay-at-home order.
During a Friday press conference, Graham said multiple government agencies, including child protective services, have investigated her for wanting to reopen her salon and make a living.
"And, if you can possibly believe this, on May 7th, Child Protective Services showed up at my home," she said, taking a deep breath while holding back tears. "They questioned my husband and I. They questioned my child, without me present. They searched our home. And I've never expected such a violent, aggressive, vindictive thing ever could have been done to me or my family because I'm trying to earn a living, because I'm trying to work."
According to the salon owner, CPS' case is still open, as far as she knows.
"They are still insisting that they want to talk to my three-year-old daughter," Graham said. "So I don't know if they're going to try to talk to my eight-week-old newborn. We'll see. But they did check his diaper."
She said the concerns the CPS listed "were completely random, unmerited, unwarranted and unprovable."
"So it was a completely false claim and if they don't pursue a false claim and there are actually children out there that are being abused by their families, then they're wasting their time investigating me because Kate Brown doesn't like me, that's pretty devastating," Graham said. "This is a false claim that wasted CPS' valuable time when there are children who are really in need."
Not only did CPS come after Graham's family but Oregon's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) slapped her with a $14,000 fine.

If the government does not fear you, you are a serf.
I have wondered what is the limit of what I would be willing to do to protect my child (now age 36) from evil - and this is unquestionably evil. I don’t know that there is a limit.
Letting them in your house was stupid.
“Got a warrant? No? Then GFY.”

In some stes CPS has unlimited powers, so check the law first.
And it's not a preferred word.
* * * * Also:
"They questioned my husband and me" would actually be the correct usage.
Though in this instance I would simply bite her tongue and keep quiet.
Sorry...meant bite MY tongue, of course.
“In some stes CPS has unlimited powers,..”
Untrue. They’re just like any other cops. No warrant, no entry. If they push it and try to force their way in you can shoot them.

thx fearmongers......forever thankful....NOT!
some states...
“some states...”
Incorrect. SCOTUS ruled on this some time ago.
No warrant, no entry.
Period.

DAMN STRAIGHT !
If a ‘Child Protective Services’ worker demands access to a three year old without cause they should be confronted by armed force.
Democrats are evil beyond our comprehension.
They are capable of anything now.
And what are people in Oregon doing about it?
In some states they don’t come back with a warrant, they come back with a cop.
What the doctor said may be true, but may not be particularly useful.
There are two noteworthy scientific truths about the virus:
1. It is extremely rare to find a viable, bare-ass naked virus particle just floating around in the air. This virus is almost always contained in a water (or more accurately, snot) droplet. An N95 mask can and does take these much larger liquid particles out of the air.
2. Particle sizes as measure by an electron microscope are much smaller than reality for most biological specimens. Why? Because electron microscopes only work on samples in a hard vacuum. Bacteria, viruses, and most biological samples are hydrated (have absorbed water in them) while they are alive and active. Think about the size of a raisin vs. the size of the grape it was made from. And the raisin still has water in it. Put some raisins in your oven at 250 degrees for a few hours and watch how small they get when that water is removed. The same thing happens to virus particles when they are dried out in the vacuum of an electron microscope -- they shrink.
That's one reason they prefer to come back with a cop.
Plus all the other viruses and bacteria you exhale and are on your face. Then hang that contaminated rag on your rear vieww mirror and wear dozens of times. Positively gross... Surgical masks are single use and discarded
“In some states they don’t come back with a warrant, they come back with a cop.”
So what if they do?
No warrant. No entry.
Period.

Next time I go to the grocery store, I’m going to wear a mask made out of chicken wire.
HEY ! It’s a mask !
exactly
Is that supposed to be a Tweet ? If it is, it’s a fake.
“And what are people in Oregon doing about it?”
They are getting ready to vote in a lot more of the same. Terminal stupidity.
