Oregon Gov. Kate Brown's Shady Way of Shutting Down Businesses: Sticking CPS on Parents
Townhall ^ | 16 May 20 | Beth Baumann

Posted on 05/16/2020 4:11:23 PM PDT by SkyPilot

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.

Somebody needs to start keeping a list of all the terrible actions by Democrat politicians during the epidemic.

They could come in handy towards the November election.

Democrats are evil thugs. At heart they are totalitarians, and they are lashing out any anyone who stands up for freedom.

You are correct.

I guess I have read too many stories about how ruthless they are once they get their hooks into you.

And many years ago a member of our family had a bad experience with CPS and other members hid the baby for
several weeks while the lawyers worked it out.

Of course we won. They never got their hooks into us.

Most Oregonians will never hear or read about this.

Who here isn’t a bit surprised to find out that Lindsey Graham runs a glamour salon in Oregon?

(I know, I know... but still funny.)

So, cops are dangerous. You resist, you might get arrested. Or shot.
Criminal charges. Lose your firearms. Lose your kids.
Etc.

Warrants are for honest government officials. The rest just do what they please.

“some states...”

Was not meant as a correction to you.

It was meant as a correction to my typo in the first post I made.

And of course you are correct.

Not surprising since she is grieving from the loss of her boyfriend, John McCain.

Another west coast state run by an authoritarian Marxist POS. Joins Washington State and California in a preview of a “Moscow-Style West Coast Empire and Gulag Complex” they want coming to all of America.

#32. Publish the names, titles and work-places of the CPS thugs. They should be available in public sources or from their credentials.

Let’s see how they like people harassing them on the streets.

I hope so! Then they can elect a Republican governor. Kate Brown is a tyrant in my opinion.

Oregon’s citizens, please remember this when November comes around — and the next time this dictator is up for reelection.

I decided to go to Sears, so the Deplorable Family went with me, to visit the mall. I didn’t have a mask and I the only problem we had was at a health food store, when a lady told me at least my kids should have a mask on, if we (Mrs. Deplorable and I) don’t care about getting sick. I told her I’m waiting for my official Trump/Pence 2020 mask. That shut her up. I told wife she needed a mask to cover her whole face. Wife laughed, she was on a scale from 1 to 10, she was -100 on the scale.
