Lawrence County Children

"Should be a zero they don't deserve even one. DO NOT ask them for help when it comes to asking them for help with your child who is using drugs and abusive to everyone in the home. They will falsify reports on you making all kinds of false statements then when you go before the hearing officer Susan Papa she will not let you provide the evidence that they are falsifying reports on you and then will brainwash your child and say in front of them you are negative and taring your child down because they aren't smart enough to keep your child out of the courtroom when questioning you with negative questions about your child's negative behaviors and issues. Susan Papa mentally abused me the entire hearing as everyone there did nothing even laughed then looked at me crazy for laughing at their chaos. Susan Papa said I was lying about my son's sexual assault case that someone caused to my son as if I don't know what's going on with my child I've raised for 16 years and accuse me of lying about the charges my son has from school from being intoxicated in school and assaulting other students. As if I wouldn't have known what my child went through and principles assistance principles resource officer police officers advocates at child advocacy all have discussed everything with me and all know that I have went over and beyond for my child. After you know you are a good parent and have tried in everyway to help your child and reach out for help."

"Lawrence county CYS hid child predators. Bill Betts tackled my brother and groped him in front of me after sticking his foot in our door. Wilbur took a picture of me without my consent when I was 13 and told me not to tell anyone."

"No stars. Shouldn’t even exist at this point. The STATE and FEDERAL government to come in and clean house. Illegal unconstitutional practices. Put kids in filthy abusive foster homes and try to avoid investigation ( avoiding abuse done by your employees or approved foster parents)! when they (cys and foster) were turned into CHILDLINE. DA needs fired because that’s the only way (in my opinion) an investigation could’ve been avoided. Shows how much he cares about children. Needs majorly investigated. Glad new commissioners got in because cys and other parts need investigated and watched closely. And that is the commissioners job. Please actually care for the cause the “children” not just pretend."

"I was down and out on my luck with nowhere to turn and cys helped me through the hardest time of my life. Sometimes parents just need a little help and support and I got that with them. Thanks to them my family is happy and safe and together."

"Don't do their jobs and don't listen to the kids in need. They leave kids in terrible homes and don't care. I have also heard stories about them bugging another employee because she was doing her job and they got mad telling her not to because they didn't want to have to do their own. We need a new cys In this county because these people clearly don't care. If you don't care then don't be a caseworker."
