Slam the Gavel welcomes John Sullivan back to the podcast. He was last on the podcast January 2nd, 2023 Season 4, Episode 2 and 18. John is from Holland, Michigan with a story about CPS "workers," that have falsified court documents against him. However, court system employees in Holland, Michigan allowed this to happen and continue for well over a two-year investigation. He doesn't know where his children are.
It all began with the children's Mother and numerous CPS agencies from other counties that have ties in Michigan also. John was never living with the Mother nor where they ever married. Suddenly, John has CPS at his door the day they took the kids away from their Mother on May 20th, 2022.
This was the first time EVER KNOWING anything about the whole investigation about the children's Mother and the CPS "workers" tell John that his children were homeless and living in the streets with their Mother. John WAS NEVER contacted throughout any of this when they showed up on May 20th, 2022, saying they took the children and placed them in two Foster Care homes.
Now CPS has placed the same charges on him as the Mother and now John pays Child Support on his children that SHOULD BE with him in the first place.
The Child Support comes out John's Disability check every month and THEY TAKE HALF. He should have his children but is being railroaded by the system.
However, the same building that John was trying to get answers from when he started questioning these people is the same building that has been all over the news for transparency towards people of color in the community. The Ottawa County DHS office has come under fire and judge has sanctioned this court system due to lawyers that have been falsifying records for the people that work in the DHS office. The Ottawa Board of Commissioners that represent the DHS office have been fighting against one another because board members are coming out talking about transparency and racial issues. The building is funded by a far-rights group called Ottawa Impact, who provide all the funding. However, when board members spoke up about corruption and not being able to do their job in the community, then the lawsuits began.
We discussed an article written in The Holland Sentinel by Sarah Leach which explained how a judge granted Ottawa County's health officer a temporary restraining order, to prevent Ottawa Impact county commissioners from removing her from her position. There was much news coverage on this topic. John himself needs news coverage.
John NEEDS justice. He sees how corrupt the building is, the court system and the community and no one wants to talk about this.
