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.

Keep voting Democrat.
These tyrannical acts are overwhelmingly carried out by Democrats. People need to wake up.
The globalists and liberal fascists have done a very effective job at moving the goalposts, and most Americans are just fine with that (apparently).
Leftists will weaponize any part of government to get you. Never speak to anyone in government be it a policeman, judge, CPS counselor or anyone.
They all are leftists totalitarians since all of them want to keep their jobs. They will do whatever they are told so they can keep getting a paycheck.
JoMa
dictators
And why did they let CPS in their house in the first place?????
A friend of mine, who is a magistrate, told me that child welfare trumps everything. If the CPS believe (or claim later they believed) a child was in danger, they can have the police enter the premises by whatever means necessary. They face no legal penalty for doing so.
They can do whatever they please. "For the children."
Yep and they can still charge you and deplete your financial resources. In a few years you could get your case reviewed and overturned if you live long enough.
It should be abundantly clear to anyone who is a freeper, reading here of unconstitutional acts that continue on a daily basis. The Constitution clearly is more like a restraining order, which is what the bill of rights are for to restrain government, but provides you no way to enforce the rules except the court which are happily willingly set about to destroy.
That is "unconstitutional" is just a cry for help, nothing more. Rights and property belong to those that can defend them
No warrant NO entry.
But there was a deeper story too, involving that family, and an attempt by CPS to take kids from them years earlier. And, if I'm remembering right, the entire second prosecution for the fire was essentially made up and insisted on by State employees to "get" the people they had failed to get years before.
I'll see if I can look up the details later, but the idea that the State is governed by vindictive power-mad kooks was at the heart of the Mahler incident, that cost a good man his life.
I was very impressed when Trump issued pardons on that whole thing. He's the only one you see with any sense of justice. The rest are just using the law as a weapon to force their will on people.
Some one needs to start a go fund me account for her
a 14,000 dollar fine? For an OSHA violation?
Should be a pro bono conservative lawyer out there somewhere who would take the case.
Harmeet Dhillon is in SF Ca.
She owns a law practice called Dhillon Law Group
And there is another lawyer that is on fox a lot, the five usually.
