SANTA ROSA COUNTY FLORIDA

Lisa Howey Rigby/CPS twisted liar.
Catina Wilson/malicious baby prosecutor.
Clayton Missouri
Sarah Renschen/CPS/DJO child snatcher force drugging grieving kids. Knowingly making a mistake and continues with the process.
Union Missouri
An over exaggerating juvenile court for kid crimes/causing a kid in this case attempted suicide by hanging.
Spanish Lake
Chad Davenport, Spanish Lake, MO Division of Youth Services /medical neglect/and still counting deprives Keenan for nearly a year from surgical correction from a broken hand.
The Present
Nine months and counting Spanish Lake continues to commit Medical Neglect to 16-year-old Keenan Robinson.
In February of 2011 while in St Charles, MO Detention Center Keenan’s father and detention staff were highly concerned of the swelling in his right hand which led to Keenan’s immediate visit to Urgent Care for x-ray’s. The x-ray results showed that he has a fractured hand.
His injury did not occur while in MO Division of Youth Services.
Urgent care recommended an immediate consultation with an orthopedic specialist. This never occurred because Keenan then entered a program at Spanish Lake where a nurse, general doctor, facility manager in charge Chad Davenport have all been avoiding this serious matter, depriving him from corrective surgery. Chad Davenport stated to Keenan’s father several months ago that no judge will allow Keenan to receive surgery.
Keenan’s father called the facility and nurse a few times a week about the fracture where Spanish Lake continuously and purposely avoids the situation. The nurse told Keenan’s father their general doctor examined him and stated his hand has healed just fine. Keenan’s father questioned her about what kind of doctor is he and if he was an orthopedic specialist. Her answer was no!
Finally on April 11, 2011 Keenan was finally brought to SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center and examined by Mary E Rashid MD, whom recommended that the patient be cleared for return to activities with the understanding that he would benefit from surgical correction of the malunion.
On May 16, 2011 Keenan’s father had scheduled a consultation with Doctor Rashid for surgery and did attend. Keenan was absent. Keenan’s father informed Spanish Lake of the appointment two weeks and weekly in advance. Spanish Lake ignored and rejected the pre-surgery consultation.
For more than seven months Spanish Lake deprives Keenan of surgical correction to his right hand. His right index knuckle disfigured, gimpy, and is offset about an inch. His right index finger hangs from his offset knuckle and shakes like putty and his finger is now shorter. The youth is right-handed and does not have full range of motion and strength. The joint lacks 10-15 degrees of extension and is unable to make a fist. He claims it is still tender and painful.
The fracture now needs reset, re-broken to correct, which seems barbaric to any parent and patient, due to deliberate medical neglect by MO Division of Youth Services at Spanish Lake.
Medical Neglect : The denial or deprivation, by those responsible for the care, custody, and control of the child, of medical or surgical treatment or intervention which is necessary to remedy or ameliorate a medical condition which is life threatening or causes injury. Medical Neglect includes not only serious, but mild and moderate medical neglect as well.
Falling In Love
By Amy Brown
WINTER 2008
It was an ordinary day. I went to school, then to work, and finally made the walk home. And to my surprise, I fell in love before I reached my destination. It was a rather dismal day, the kind I have always been partial to. I grew up on the blistering hot desert crust, south of the wondrous Grand Canyons and north of the Mexican border in Arizona, where the heavens erratically fall.
Suddenly, I was startled by a baby meow; actually it was more like a blood-curdling screech. I could not see a kitten anywhere, which was frightening because I was standing on the sidewalk next to a congested intersection. Then I spoke feline language, and it replied. I followed the sound to a dull red sedan with a mismatched black hood. The car sat on a used cat lot at 9th and Cook near downtown Springfield, and the car lot was still open.
Quickly I walked back to the garage area, and to the first man I saw, I asked “Do you work here?” He
spoke zero English. I explained my situation to him anyway. Shortly after, another man approached. He was foreign as well, but we could communicate nonetheless. I explained my predicament once again. As we were walking to the car he said to me, “I don`t know what we`ll do with it.” “Just open the hood and I will take the cat with me,” I replied.
That unyielding hood was finally open. There was the tiniest and cutest kitten ever! He was maybe five or six weeks old. His grayish – blue eyes were so wide and innocent, and his orange fur looked especially soft. I fell in love at first sight! If you had seen this miniature, you would have loved him, too. My friend, who is not a cat lover, even agreed with me.
As I reached for the kitten, he tried to run down into the engine; he did not get far. I caught him and, when I did, he bit me really good, sinking his teeth into my skin about five times! However, this beautiful, undersized kitty was not getting away from my loving embrace. Yes, he was ferocious, but he was petrified; I was love-bitten.
Everything about this midget was magnificent. Instead of routine, my after work walk proved to be purposeful. I saved an abandoned baby and fell in love. What a gorgeous surprise. Sadly, I could not care for that baby I loved. What was I to do? Somehow I had to protect the helpless creature. I fortunately, a friend suggested the Animal Protective League of Springfield and how it would be helpful. My hopes were high.
Upon entering those miracle doors, the heavens sang! I saw large, healthy cats roaming and they seemed content. Everything felt right. The staff seemed to love that darling cat as much as I did. During examination, APL people embraced, talked to, and calmed the frightened feline. The kitten I fell in love with on that unordinary day remained in the care of APL as I walked out of those doors, never to see that baby again. However, I was confident the orange fur ball was safe, protected, and would soon be part of a family. I am forever grateful to APL for taking him.

MISSING PERSON
Keenan Robinson
active safety warrant issued-11/29/10
Where are you Keenan?
Come home, stay in school.
One day everything’s gonna be fine again
captured-1/5/11
Amy, you know that you were my only girl. You were so cute, funny and full of joy while you were growing up. Remember the days when all the girls had their hair like a fan, Well you had yours up so high I would put my hand up on your head and take my hand off and your fan would bounce right back. I can remember when you would never wanted to where pants, you would always like to wear dresses. It would be your taste or you would not wear it. You were Daddy’s little girl.
Keenan, when your mother, Amy was carrying you she was so so happy. When she found out that it was a boy she was overly thrilled.
I think that when she lost her dad at an early age she became very attached to you. I know deep in her heart she loved us.
All I can say Amy, I love you so much and miss you! When my day comes I will see and be with you again. Happy Birthday Amy!
Love and Miss You Always, mom.
Leslie Ann Brown
Amy & her father as Santa
Amy Marie Brown would of been 33 years old today. On Christmas Morning, 2008 Amy reunited with her father David Allen Brown in Heaven.
Amy’s human rights were violated by judge Marci L Goodman, Santa Rosa County, Florida, CPS-Lisa Howey Rigby.
Amy’s only beloved son Keenan maliciously prosecuted by Catina L Wilson at the tender of 9. Amy and Keenan both torn apart and emotionally tormented by a Santa Rosa County, Florida Court.
Happy Birthday Amy!!! Keenan and I will always dearly Love and miss you!
the black robe!!!
Why and how would anyone want to live someone as sweet and beautiful as Amy through force abandonment from her only family? She was ill and being treated. You Marci forced Amy to survive street life by throwing her to her villains! Once again I’m asking you judge Marci L Goodman to STEP DOWN from the bench! Seems you were forced off the juvenile bench this mid January 2010. Two to go, family court where you wrecked our perfect proud baby boy, violated our human rights for all hope for Amy to get well! Now your judging adults? No matter what court your judging you wreck too many lives! I’ve picked many people up in my taxi for over 8 years. Some in tears with many fears, some in agony with anger, and in all! STEP DOWN, take your accomplices, Lisa Howey Rigby, Catina Wilson with you! You’ve destroyed too many families. You surly destroyed this family to DEATH!!!
Keenan!!!!!
BIG 15
After serving 9 months in a Missouri DYS program for 100.00 damage including labor, Keenan is free and at home! He is out on after care, which is really parole! Missouri uses terms such as after care to avoid criminalizing their youths, but still convicted a felon? I told Union, Missouri from the get go Florida never wanted him back! Florida, Santa Rosa County sure played and put one over on Union, Missouri in Franklin County. Union, Missouri knowingly tried their best to send Keenan back to Florida’s brutal child abuse and death system! Let’s not forget Union the attempted suicide you caused to Keenan. I will agree Missouri does have the #1 DYS programs in the nation. It back fired didn’t it Union and Clayton!! Thank God!!! CPS, STAY FAR AWAY FROM US!!!! The world is on to you 
evil CPS family destroyers! One day your empires will crumble and our children & families will one day be safe from you monsters!!! Clayton, Sarah Renschen, you need to be held liable for abducting and force drugging Keenan! Judge Marci Goodman, Lisa Howey Rigby, Catina Wilson, you truly destroyed this family til death do us part! How do you sleep at night? Do you really think your going to Heaven Like Amy did on Christmas Morning?!!!!!SYSTEMATIC DESTRUCTION OF FAMILIES
We Love You Amy!!!!
SYSTEMATIC DESTRUCTION OF FAMILIES
Milton, FL Destruction of Children & Families
Starved to Death in State Care
Amy was pure in heart. Her soul was innocent as of a child’s. When Amy smiled, her blue eyes smiled. Most of all she loved all baby’s, children, and animals. Amy and her family mostly grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. Amy loved the desert and intense storms. Amy’s favorite band was Led Zeppelin. She was a daddy’s girl and loved him dearly. Her daddy, David Alan Brown was robbed and murdered by two gunman, two guns, two bullets, two days before her 11th birthday. Amy never quite got over it. Shortly afterwords Amy’s mother, Leslie Ann Brown had a heart attack. Amy was placed in foster care by DCFS in a ministers home with her younger brother Adam. Both of them were sexually molested by the baby sitter, the ministers 15 year old son! Amy and Adam were both awarded an eighty thousand structured settlement a piece. Later in life Amy had a beautiful son name Keenan. She loved him so much! In her 20′s and still have not healed from this pain. Her life has been one addiction after another and for once in her life she was going to face her past so she could move on.
We admitted Amy into a hospital late December, 2001. Florida’s CPS Lisa Howey Rigby, a devil’s advocate, court ordered me to satins court by twisting the truth and Amy was robbed from her only beloved son. She was very loving and such a great mom to her baby son. They tried their best to erase Keenan’s mom Amy from his memory, against their own psychologist’s advise. It never worked and Keenan never quit crying out for his mom. Keenan saw his mom in court in shackles in the spring of 2002. He has never been the same since that day. She needed medical attention, not shackles! Keenan’s mom always tried to contact us. I feared they would take our 6 year old away and place him in their evil system. Our human rights were violated and court ordered against all hope for Amy to heal and get well. Amy was banned from all love and family support and thrown away like trash to die. The court = judge Marci Goodman banned her from loving family, drove her to homeless, forced into prostitution just to survive , fell deep into depression, etc.. She slit her own throat! She once sang to me along with a song she felt contagious. She was far from that I told her with a hug. She always had both of us but was court ordered by Judge Marci L Goodman not allowing even phone calls with her.
She realize there are sick people out there and she couldn’t keep punishing herself for something she is not responsible for. Amy was so brave that in 2007 she took a weekly injection in her stomach to try and get well, all alone. She began loosing her hair. Her red blood cell count became very low. Amy didn’t qualify financially to receive the treatment to bring her white blood cell count back up. I call this malpractice! She couldn’t take it any longer. It tore her body apart. The doctor discontinued her treatments. Through out the years Keenan was treated in a barbaric fashion for crying out for his mom. Prosecutor Catina Wilson maliciously prosecuted him for years since a tender age of 8 years old. If he was so competent to be trained and tried like a criminal, then he was competent and bright enough to visit his mom, to hold her, to have many memories and all hope for her to get well! So much time was lost between all of us. There were a few short reunions.
October, 31st, 2008, in Judge Marci L Goodman’s chambers, she stated to Keenan, now 13 years old, while he was in an orange jumpsuit and fully shackled, “what do you want me to do about your mom”?, Keenan replied, “I want to be able to talk to her anytime”. Keenan was escorted out of chambers by a deputy, Goodman having a pathological hatred for Keenan and Amy placed a no contact order on her once again. Keenan and his mom had a lot of things to work out together. The court made him believe she abandoned him for all those years. Amy eventually found out about the October, 31st, 2008 no contact order against her and her only child. Most likely it drove her into deep depression. She tried calling several times around and before Christmas. I believe she did talk with Keenan a few times. I’m not sure because he will not talk about it to anyone.
The last memory Keenan and I have of Amy is August, 28th, 2008, Amy crying at the Greyhound bus station as we drove away. She didn’t want to leave but Amy had to get all her belongings out of her apartment. I almost drove back but I didn’t, and will regret that night for life! On Christmas Morning 2008 Amy passed away by a lethal overdose of heroin and cocaine which caused a counter reaction to her weak heart. I had judge Goodman on the phone that afternoon as soon as I was told the tragic heart breaking shocking news. I did not know the cause of death til 5 months later. It took Delaware investigators 5 months to determine the cause of death. The news was relayed to me by Amy’s mother. There were no needle tracks. Either Amy gave up on life not being able to be with Keenan for another Christmas, or she was murdered by the sick twisted freak weirdo Andrew Gardner that followed her across the country, everywhere, always giving and sending her money, possibly speed balled her so this sick dog could take advantage and be in total control. An enabler getting away with a very serious crime!
This was her way of survival she had learn thanks to Santa Rosa County, Florida, CPS, satins court. In 2008, Amy was with me for nearly 4 months, healthy, very fine and full of life. Amy told me and others she believes she was drugged by him a couple of times after drinking coffee. I’m assuming investigators wrote this case off because of her pass? I did inform investigators he gave three different stories to four different people where and how he found her. Red flags Delaware detectives!!!!!!!!!! Does this young mother need to be on super celebrity status, rich and famous as Michael Jackson or Anna Nichole Smith to deserve justice and make an arrest Delaware???
November 30th, 2008, Keenan faces judge Goodman, she tells Keenan she is sorry for his mom. Right after Catina Wilson recommends he be placed in a high risk juvenile prison for playing with an empty BB-gun with no cO2 cartridge. Keenan began to cry hard. His court appointed attorney and his probation officer raced to the bench. Lots of whispering occurred. Judge Goodman grants and allows us to leave the state of Florida, but to remain in their destructive clutches. I’ve been asking to leave Florida since 2005. January, 17th, 2008, Keenan and I go to Amy’s funereal, set up just for Keenan.
April, 2nd, 2008, Clayton, Missouri CPS abducts Keenan and forcibly drugs him at age 13. CPS, DJO Sarah Renschen in charge of all actions. Why is she not being arrested? September, 6th, 2008, Labor Day weekend, Keenan gets in trouble for mischief, arrested and charged with arson in Union, Missouri. Two young woman prosecutors in Union, Missouri with pure hatred for 13 year old Keenan, one prosecutor engineers he is a flight risk, just to keep him detained and emotionally tortured, not allowing a bereaved child to recover and live in normality. Both prosecutors work hard on extraditing Keenan back to Florida’s abusive system and possible death. The court of Union, Missouri psychologically tortures Keenan by keeping him locked away in a Franklin County detention center for two months and telling him he is to return to Florida. Union, Missouri drives Keenan into deep depression and attempts suicide by hanging using a sweater. Franklin County public defenders favors the prosecution. October, 19th, 2008, Keenan’s public defender states twice I need professional help, because I expect an adequate defense for my son, and strongly feel these government agents committing crimes against our children & families should be arrested, convicted and jailed.
October 20th, 2008, Keenan takes a plea deal, charge gets lowered from arson to burning, class D felony what was a 100.00 worth of damage including labor. Also his public stated she will take this to an appeals court to fight extradition. October 27th, 2008,a hearing in Union to decide Keenan’s fate. His public defender never filed the appeals process. A complaint against her actions was filed. A Union, Missouri judge orders Keenan to be extradited back to Florida, knowingly the threats to Keenan from Judge Goodman, and of the abuse and deaths of children in Florida. The word is that Judge Marci L Goodman will no longer be handling juvenile cases coming in mid January, 2010, but she will still handle dependency cases? It’s all so twisted. I urge the Florida JQC to disbar her permanently! She is a danger to children & families. That same morning October 27th, 2008, Judge Marci Goodman terminates all jurisdiction of Keenan. I received the information by making a phone call, fresh out of Judge Goodman’s chambers. A second hearing was called that same afternoon in Union. Union is baffled and in shock. Unions game of child torture backfires with cruel intent causing emotionally, physical damage, and the possibility of death to a child. Looks like Florida played a game with Missouri. I knew and stated from the get go that Florida never wanted Keenan. Union, Missouri’s deal to Florida was they offered to drop all charges if they would come and get him. Florida said no.
October, 27, 2008, A Union, Missouri judge orders Keenan to spend two more days in detention to decide Keenan’s fate. October 27th, 2008, “Keenan is free from Florida”, “forever”!!! “Our souls will never be free from Florida”!!! “It’s the last place we were with Amy, the last place we saw her alive and well”. The family support here from both sides was a complete joke. A friend of mine told me there is a woman that is a CNN investigated reporter that wouldn’t touch this case due Florida tainting this family. What kind of reporter are you? You need to step up to the plate and get both sides. Amy finally in peace???? It’s Christmas morning and raining. I feel its Amy pouring all her tears on the earth for what these evil people keep doing to her only son. Keenan wants snow. I know Amy will somehow have it snow a white Christmas for her only son.
October 29th, 2008, the judge in Union, Missouri sentence Keenan to a Missouri D.Y.S. program. Keenan spoke to the court about his mom, feeling the need for a grieving organization, and what he wanted to be in life. There was no mercy or compassion shown. He was sentence to Camp Avery in Troy Missouri. I visit Keenan every Sunday from 12-3pm. Camp Avery is a moderate risk facility. Most of the staff members are great people and very professional. The staff seem to be made up mostly woman that I have notice. Most of the staff at Camp Avery have a highly compassionate heart for all bad things Keenan has suffered. Camp Avery has given us a compassionate long extended 10.5 hour visit for Christmas. At Camp Avery there is no Florida thuggery or abuse of any kind what so ever. A teen fist fight is a normal process of growing up like it has been for centuries. The group of teens are in charge. Peers search the peers after a visit, not the adults. The staff are the most ultimate and professional people. I salute Camp Avery. Camp Avery is the most civil D.Y.S programs period.
“Dear Heavenly Father why did you take Amy away from us”? “Why”? It was almost a happy ending. I feel so empty without your presences on earth. I often feel the need to talk to you. There are times Amy visits me in my dreams. Sometime we are in a big house in a big room with some people, maybe family or friends? Other times its just her and I. No one sees her but me. She sees everyone. She sits across the room in a chair. She is very peaceful and content. We smile at each other. Keenan is content playing with friends. Keenan Knows she is here. We are all very happy. I dare not to approach her for she may vanish. I wake up so relaxed, peaceful and content, as if this nightmare never happened. But of course until I wake up, and slightly disturbed. Though your visits are not seldom enough. My dreams seem so real, very vivid. Please enter my dreams and visit me more often. I Love You Amy Marie and will always Love and miss you dearly!!! Lost my old life, lost my dearest friend forever, our baby-man’s *mommy*… she’s never coming back

Happy New Year Keenan! 2010
Update: 1/7/2010 at 1633: I just received an urgent call from Camp Avery that Keenan is waiting to be transported to St Vincent De Paul, a psychiatric center, due to him having more suicidal thoughts and allegations of hurting others. St Vincent De Paul is the drugging facility where Sarah Renschen had him forcibly drugged after ordering the abduction of him April 2nd, 2009. Keenan is stating he now wants medication, drugs, dope, thinking it will help him. I his father is strictly against drugs period. Keenan is not going to open up, and cry is heart out about his mom in a facility where teens are there for crimes and act tough. There is one strange woman who worked at a convenient store in Pendleton, South Carolina in January of 2009 who told me of Keenan coming in daily crying is heart out about his mom. Was and is she the answer????? As I desperately told Union, Missouri, he needs a grieving organization, family and to continue to live in normality!
I was told October, 27th, 2008 by someone even Judge Marci Goodman and Catina Wilson agreed with all my decisions. “Guilty conscious Marci”??? Now Keenan wants to be put onto medication thereby generating money to the big pharma Co’s, because he can not deal with the separation from his mom who he loved so much. You Judge Marci L Goodman by abuse of power, forced separation upon these two for years, stolen their identity’s, made Keenan feel that his mom abandoned him all this time til the death of her! You violated our human rights for all hope for Amy to get well. You took that away from her. You have caused severe emotional damage to her only beloved son Keenan. Just as you did to Christopher Sholly, and many others that I have pick up in my taxi throughout the 8 years. I’m asking you Marci L Goodman take responsibility, remove yourself from office, and take to your partners in crime Catina Wilson, Lisa Howey Rigby with you. Union, Missouri. How much longer do you intend on punishing Keenan for Florida’s creation? Til the death of him??? Free Keenan
URGENT Update: 1/12/2010: Dr James Edwards, St Vincent De Paul forcibly drugs Keenan once again by a needle injection of 20mg of Geodon, against my consent, without any knowledge of my son’s medical history, family background, and the Florida abuse and the injustice deliberate attack on my family. Geodon is used to treat schizophrenia and the manic symptoms of bipolar disorder, (not bereaved children)! Geodon may cause heart failure, sudden death, or pneumonia in older adults with dementia-related conditions.I have also been informed since 1/9/2010 he is being administered 50mg of Vyvanse once daily. The nurse I spoken with acts like force drugging children is as normal like parents who feed their children fruits & vegetables. The nurse stated drugs are no different than the police using a tazer. A nurse without a conscious out for her meal ticket. Well, can we say, Marsha Marsha Marsha, you are as normal as Adolf Hitler!
The forced injection by needle is due to an altercation with another kid. After the kid altercation subsisted, she states my son willingly and voluntarily took this injection? She tells me DCF is involved? If so, I will find out your identity and do whatever it takes to expose and to STOP this DCF social worker, legally! This is my God given child, not yours to drug or kill! It’s you, CPS, DCF monsters that destroyed him from the get go beginning early 2002, violating our human rights to the death of his mother. It’s you, CPS that need the drugging, not our children! Most likely Clayton, and Union, Missouri are in on this together.
I spoken with Camp Avery’s assistant manager and Keenan’s case manager by phone on this serious issue and are willing to help STOP it. Missouri is notorious for drugging children and adults. Florida never forced drugged Keenan. CPS, its legal to drug children, but illegal to help and support our sick dearest love one stay clean from drugs = Amy. You are twisted freaks! “Stay far away from Keenan CPS“! Camp Avery, thanks so much for all your help, love, understanding and compassion for Keenan regarding our family tragedy. Keenan will not be forced to take Vyvanse. The Vyvanse was Keenan’s choice and is confirmed Keenan may discontinue use of Vyvanse at any time.
Vyvanse is just a drug company’s brand for amphetamine. If a person took amphetamine without a doctor and a drug company making a profit that person would be sent to jail for using what cops call “a dangerous addictive drug”. What nobody tells patients is that the body largely adapts to moderate doses of amphetamines in a period of about two weeks. This is why the drug companies warn about the short term effects of starting and stopping – which cause a sudden change, but not a lasting one.Vyvanase causes difficulty falling asleep, stomach ache, irritability, decreased appetite, dry mouth, blurred vision, aggression, new abnormal thoughts/behaviors, mania, growth suppression, worsening of motion or verbal tics, and Tourette’s syndrome have been associated with drugs of this type.
If people insist on interpreting everything you do as ADHD then they will find “evidence” that would be considered normal behavior in anybody else. Stress – if those with power in your life are acting unreasonably or antagonistically only a fool could calm down. Adequate exercise – which for Keenan would be lots and lots of exercise, because he is a gifted sportsman and a growing teen. Maturity – people have to learn to concentrate and control their feelings, we know Keenan has to and will learn self discipline, and we know that few people would have done any better with his experiences.
Update: Sunday, 1/17/2010: St Vincent De Paul has again forcibly drugged Keenan by needle injection after I strictly told them to STOP! This nurse keeps stating DCF is in charge of all this. Keenan is unfairly incarcerated in juvenile injustice stolen custody, not CPS incarceration! Keenan stated to me today, 1/18/2010, he feels like he is on heroin. He says they gave him two drugs this time. I will get detailed info. Keenan states its was over playing too long with another kid. Are these criminals trying to overdose him so he can join his mom???
1/19/2010: St Vincent De Paul has forced Keenan to sleep in the hallway for massaging a girls neck of his own age who ask him to. The allegation came from a nurse that he touched her on the rear. It’s all okay that priest molest young boys, then pay the families off to go away??? I have spoken with a couple of these nurses in this facility and are very ruthless twisted freaks without a conscious, force drugging our children like guineapigs! They have no respect for the parents what so ever! Why are the rich not treated in this barbaric fashion? 1/21/2010: Keenan will be returning back to camp Avery Friday, 1/22/2010, Leaving the the house of nuts, the adults who run it!
1/23/2010: I spoken with Keenan tonight. He is depressed! Keenan only 14, ripped off from his only mother he loves so much. Emotionally tortured and pumped with drugs by a Union, Missouri court for 3 burn marks and burning a piece of paper. 100.00 damage after labor, convicted a felon. Six Union, officials directly responsible including is own defense.
1/25/2010: I spoken with Keenan tonight by phone. Our son who used to be the most happiest, inquisitive, always smiling, is no longer! He is miserable! He sounds confused. His healthy body is being poisoned with amphetamines. Union has broken his spirits! Today marks 13 months since his mothers death. Union, Missouri denied this child proper grieving counseling in normality. The help Union, Missouri has given to Keenan is Chinese torture for our bereaved teen. Families beware of this Union court system. Think twice before ever moving to Franklin County in Union, Missouri. Union does not help families in need, but only to warehouse kids for federal grants. This is all about them and their meal tickets. Never use the public defenders in Union because they do work together, favor the prosecution. She never defended Keenan. She requested all psychological evaluations throughout the years. I gave them all to her. She never used them except against him if anything. She contacted Clayton, Missouri who abducted & forcibly drugged him. Of all pathetic statements, her stating Clayton, MO CPS tried to help?????! She Never defended him, tried to coerce him into a guilty plea without the protection of a family member present. Also never trust the the probation officers that pretend to be nice. Like I stated months ago, Keenan would never receive a fair trial in Union, Missouri, and never did. A public defender=public pretender. Except this one couldn’t start to pretend to defend. Remember, they are all in cahoots, CPS+DCF+family+juvenile courts = pure evil. I will be releasing audio sometime in the future.
Update: 2/21/2010: Keenan discontinued himself off Vyvanse! Keenan had two bad weeks due to withdrawals, but now he is now doing fine. Update: 5/6/2010: Keenan’s case manager & Missouri Probation is scheduled for home study today for Keenan’s transitional process. Update: Monday, 5/24/2010: Keenan had a wonderful 24 hour home visit. He now has a release date which is just around the corner. He has served nearly 9 months for 100.00 worth of damage, including labor. A Union, Missouri juvenile judge favored the prosecution along with his own public defender and convicted him as a felon! They wanted so much to extradite him back to the barbaric Florida abuse! It backfired, didn’t Union?!!! Beyond Meds CCHR: Watchdog Fascism Starved to Death in State Care Free Keenan
St Vincent De Paul, Doctor James Edwards , CPS, DCF social workers, nurses, Missouri, “Keep your needles and drugs off and out of our 14 year old son’s healthy body”!!!
Drugged-Up
Just click play! Free Keenan will be reconstructed into a movie documentary from home movies, disturbing footage of Keenan’s emotional breakdown dearly missing his mom, taken while stigmatized by school officials, & Amy’s last living 2008 interview. A child will understand. “In the best interest of the child”, our family was deliberately destroyed by judge Marci L Goodman, violating our human rights for all hope of our loved one to get well. Goodman mistreated a young mother & her only child with sadistic actions & pathological hatred for Amy & Keenan.

Christina Carr ,
This is not arson because it is not an attempt to start a fire of any sort.
He held a cigarette lighter to solid timber.
This cannot not be expected to ignite a self sustaining fire.
There is no reason to believe that Keenan wished to cause a fire or destroy the building.
Keenan is accused of using the a lighter to make marks on the building.
This is not different from using a pen to do the same.
Keenan is accused of burning a piece of paper.
Paper is neither permanent nor durable, it is disposable.
Paper exposed to the sun and wind deteriorates in a matter of weeks.
Paper exposed to rain is rendered useless immediately.
Any paper on the outside of a building cannot be expected to last.
A single sheet of paper held up to solid timber cannot be expected to ignite it. The piece of paper he allegedly lit did not leave a soot mark. Evidently it was nowhere near sufficient to start a fire – as you would expect if you had ever made a camp fire. Anyone who has ever made a camp fire, or lit a wood stove, knows that it takes a great deal more to get a plank of wood to take light. It is almost impossible to get a plank to sustain fire if heat & hot air are not trapped against it.
*****Keenan did not attempt to create the minimum conditions needed for a fire to start.*******
It is common practice to burn garden waste and waste paper rather than putting it in the trash.
Thus Keenan burning the sheet of paper is not a greater offense than throwing the sheet of paper in the trash.
It was not Keenan’s right to make marks, with a flame, burn a piece of paper, or make marks by any other means, but these are misdemeanors, not an attempt to destroy a building.
Extradition to Florida / Exile from the US
I have transcripts of Judge Goodman saying she wants to send him where he will be beaten up and raped and more. The paper trail is clear and visible as looking through non-tinted glass. Goodman punished him by using his own mother, keeping them separated, mentally abusing him and his mother. Goodman knew Keenan has been crying out for his mother for years. Its documented in transcripts and psychological evaluations throughout the years. Goodman is a very irrational and sadistic judge period. Goodman has destroyed many children & families. One day we “hope” there will be criminal charges filed on her with a conviction, then justice will be served. “Hope”, is what Goodman took away from us, for Amy to get well.
There is a report that Keenan was sexually assaulted in detention at 8 years of age. I have other transcripts of Goodman terrorizing him with that horrific incident, experience.
I’m sure you saw the video of Justin Caldwell being beaten up.
There is Christopher Sholly’s account of his arm being broken by a guard after complaining of abuse.
I know both of these kids parents. You may have their phone numbers. You may contact them anytime.
Missouri courts could not claim that “they did not know” or “lacked evidence”, when Goodman carries out her threat.
Keenan’s emotional disturbance has been caused by abuse at the hands of the authorities.
Before the civil war anti-slavery states refused to extradite escaped slaves, as it would be an abuse of their human rights.
I’m asking you to do the same for Keenan, “stop extradition”, to protect him from any further emotional, physical, chemical harm and abuse. We strongly feel and I have reasons to believe Keenan would never receive a fair trial in Union Missouri.
If Missouri cannot offer Keenan refuge from Florida, Then I Ricky Robinson, father of Keenan Robinson, am asking you Christina Carr as Keenan Robinson’s public defender to file a formal request to the proper parties to have my son Keenan Robinson exiled from the United States of America and to allow him to leave the US to apply for refugee status in the European Union.
Sincerely,
Ricky Robinson
Dear Ms Carr,
My name is Dawn Chase,
I am writing to you on behalf of Keenan Robinson. I can testify that the State of Florida
Absolutely ruined this child’s life, as they have my Son. What the State of Florida has done
To numerous children, is abuse them physically and mentally in these so called programs.
My Son, being one of them. I have documentation of abuse not only committed on my Son,
But many others. We currently have a suite against the private contracting company hired
By the Department of DJJ here in Florida for abuse done on my Son. This abuse leaves
Lasting damage to these Children. What Keenan has done may be wrong but does not
Constitute a Felony. He is a CHILD, doing mischievous things, and should be dealt as
Such. In today’s Society, our Children are no longer allowed to be children.
How many of you did things as a child that were wrong, yet it was your parents and school
Principles that handled the situation, NOT THE COURTS OR POLICE????
Too many Children are being thrown into State institutes for being “JUST CHILDREN!”
This needs to stop, the no tolerance policies have to be banned!! Children are not
Miniature adults!!! Children fight, they get into trouble, and it is up to us as Parents to
Correct this, not the Police, nor any other State Agency. If there was any lasting damage
To the structure, then fine them, and make him pay for the damage, however throwing this
Child in jail or a DJJ program will only cause more damage to him. I can be reached at

Thank you for taking the time to read this;
I don’t EVER forward anything, but below is a letter to my “nephew`s” public defender, or prosecutor maybe, from his father. Keenan just lost his mother (my best friend) tragically on Christmas day 2008, and deliberately with cruel intent kept from his mother! he has been in trouble for riding a “stolen bike’ for some blocks (in Florida 2004), and for making black marks on a park pavilion in Union, MO last month. Union, MO now has him locked up for Arson (when nothing was destroyed) and threatening to send him back to Florida per extradition!! Florida not violated his human rights in several ways, they prosecuted him at (ages 9-11) kept him locked up like a murderer for about 2 years of his childhood at (ages 11-12 1/2) and now at age barely 14. They are threatening this CHILD with a possible of indeterminate years in the system. They are destroying any chance this poor baby has at any sort of a normal life. Please take a look and visit the website FreeKeenan Most importantly forward this to any and everybody you know, someone out there has to have the answer to saving this child’s life. Leave comments and any suggestions. His father has gone to extreme lengths to make this case public, with little luck. Keenan has been admitted to a hospital. he now wants to kill himself and others they say. Just a month 1/2 ago he was doing so well and now because he was showing off (like all kids do) He sees no way out of this miserable life our “justice system” (you know, the one who is supposed to protect us from violent criminals like 9 year old’s who ride “stolen” bicycles for 5 blocks) has created for him, and he only just turned 14! Someone out there has to have the answer.
DON’T FORGET TO FORWARD, KEENAN NEEDS US!
Thank you,

To Whom It May Concern,
I feel the need to write something to attest to the character of Keenan Robinson. I am not a relative, nor am I a part of the system that seems intent on destroying him. I am merely an impartial, taxpaying citizen who is extremely concerned about how he is being treated. A few years ago by pure chance I was riding in a taxicab and Keenan’s father, who was my driver, shared Keenan’s story with me in the hopes I could offer some assistance as a journalist. Keenan has been a part of my life and my prayers since that day. I have both visited Keenan while he was incarcerated and spent time with him in “the real world”. He spent a weekend in my home this past summer. I would mostly just like people to know that Keenan is NOT a hardened criminal or even a bad boy. He is a typical American boy who speaks excitedly about his hopes and dreams for his future. He can eat an amazing amount of pizza. He is a highly intelligent, very articulate, young man with a great sense of humor and a very sweet nature. He desperately longs to be a part of normal childhood activities such as football, camping, bicycle riding, and having a pet. He is a CHILD! Keenan has been robbed of everything we as Americans hold dear: freedom, family, even baseball and apple pie. WAKE UP AMERICA!!! Your child could be next! Where is the outcry for Keenan and all the other children being abused by the system we fund?! We have adult predators walking freely amongst us, please look at the statistics, both nationwide and especially Missouri. The “average” child molester or rapist in Missouri gets probation, ZERO JAIL TIME, for their first offense. Clay County, Missouri is known nationwide for being soft on offenses committed against children and women. The “average” murderer serves only 4-5 years on their sentence before being released. Why are these children being held longer than adult rapists and murderers for petty childhood foolishness?! Keenan has already done an adult murder sentence basically. It is VERY painful to watch this happen to a child. I am outraged! I can think of better ways for my tax money to be spent. For one, how about we try incarcerating the people who are dangerous to children and society instead of locking up the children? Maybe they are just that confused.
Sincerely,
Missouri=Misery and I’m embarrassed to be from there.

Dear World and Heavenly Father,
Union, Missouri is committing an act of relentless persecution and malicious prosecution to my son, a young teen who just turned 14 in a secured detention center in Franklin County, Union, Missouri. Keenan is grieving a life threatening illness of a significant person. Keenan is a bereaved child, who lost his mother 9 months ago on Christmas morning. A heart broken child, “bereaved” , labeled emotionally handicapped locked up in a system and forcibly isolated from his “family” and the world. A time any human being needs family, friends and lots of support. Keenan has been treated like some sort of heinous criminal since the tender age of 8. A child’s cry for his mom and never gave up. Union uses aggressive force to indeterminately punish him. This barbaric treatment has been on going for more than 8 years now! “Will it ever end”? Union, Missouri has charged him with 2nd degree arson, littering and whatever else they feel like tacking on. Three other kids involved to accessory to the fact were never charged, arrested or to my knowledge ever questioned. We thought we have moved to a nice, quiet community with good schools, and I mistakenly assumed the court here would be civil to children with a little bit of sympathy, compassion, and most of all intelligence. What I’m seeing is that the court here in Union, Missouri are nice people on the outside with two faces. On the inside, cold evil hearts and souls. “Bullies”, to a disabled, sad and frightened little boy! Thank God the facility that my son is being held in, from “loving family” and from the world, is well taken care of by good people. Keenan is trying his best to maintain his sanity. He wants to come home! Other kids would of already been back at home sweet home. One person in charge of all keeps my grieving son in secure captivity and forced isolation from “loving family” and from the world! It’s where they plan on sending him that will destroy all, and the rest of him! Keenan needs to be free. Annie’s Hope ~ Providing support for children, teens and families who are grieving You cannot give a child stability he needs in order to heal, by trying to erase his family and denying him normality and control over his life. The things that have been done to Keenan would be the most heinous crimes were they not done by agents of the government. Where do these ruthless people come from? They psychologically torture my son’s mind and soul! When did a CHILD ever have to EARN their God given “family”, “grandmother” into their life??? “It’s not working Union”!!!! Your not hurting me, just my child! Week by week, day by day, minute by minute, second by second, you stop all “hope” for Keenan to live in a world of normality. Your pathetic, you only sicken me! You sicken many! Any state and court that refuses to refuge a “child” from further abuse of any kind, teams up with the other, is as savage as the other!Keenan’s problems are caused by excessive and brutal coercion by adults who would dread to see their own child treated this way. Union, your letting the real criminals get away! Does Sarah ring a bell? What a shame no one is brave or competent enough to go after the real criminals. Instead you bully and torture one emotional little boy, who was abused by the hands of authority! And now motherless! updates on this story at a later date in time, and about how an untrained CPS investigator here in Union, Missouri found and alienated me on June 9th, 2009, while the mistaken case in Clayton, Missouri was still pending, nearly 40 miles away! Accusing me with fabricated false allegations while Keenan was still in the hands of Clayton, Missouri CPS captivity and forcibly drugged. She didn’t have my name correct! She’s looking for someone else close to my name, but not close enough, while she falsely alters the original report right on the spot in front of my friend, in my friends front yard! ” Can we say coincidence”??? updates for all details and name at a later time. 10/10/09: I visit Keenan today. He was alright, but distressed, looking pale, circles underneath his eyes. Keenan’s deep worries ages him rapidly. He had a breakdown into the night. I told staff just let me talk with him and I’ll pull him out of his breakdown. “Well it worked”! He went straight to his room like he promised me after we ended our call. I Love You Keenan!!! We all Love you Keenan!!! Just hang in there! He doesn’t deserve to do anymore hard time! There are other remedies and ways for kids to take responsibilities for kid actions. I have never seen my son look this depressed in his entire life! Forcibly banned from his only mother. Two years of Florida’s malicious prosecution by Catina Wilson at a tender age of nine. A judge that let it continue on and knew what his problem was all along! Loosing his mom this past Christmas. While Keenan sits inside brick walls, sorry for what he did, no one seems to care. Desperately wanting and needing to come home. Wishing he could just wake up from this never ending nightmare. Slowly being pushed over the edge to the brink of depression and possible suicidal thoughts. Let Keenan live in normality, without forced isolation from family and the world. 10/17/09:I’m not suggesting that Keenan should not be punished for vandalism, only that it should be proportionate and chosen to be effective not destructive, and his actions should not be exaggerated by his accusers, Union, Missouri, and one who pretends to defend him but favors the prosecution. There is no way for Keenan to receive a fair trial here in Union, Missouri! One of the three woman persecuting my son stated to me on 9/8/09 that she would not even consider lowering the charge. She told me how this is her community, and that in it self told me that we were not welcome here. The crimes committed to my son by the CPS and DJO Sarah Renschen from St. Louis County Family Court are far more criminal and heinous than Keenan has ever done, and will do in a life time! These predators kid-jacked my son, forcibly drugged him on multiple drugs, and much more! Why are you not arresting these heinous criminals against our God given children and families? As I stated above, the things that have been done to Keenan would be the most heinous crimes were they not done by agents of the government! update: ON 10/18/09 Keenan was admitted to a psychiatric hospital wanting to kill himself due to the extreme long term isolation and separation from loving family, realizing he is not returning home for a long, long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keenan’s right hand may be fractured. In my care, Keenan has never had a broken or fractured bone on his body. Keenan should of been home all this time living in normality. Union’s prosecution engineered a flight risk by going out of their way to create a situation where Keenan is not allowed any hope of a normal life. The alleged “flight risk” is absurd given all that I have complied with over the years, close to a decade!!!!!!!!!! 10/20/09: KEENAN’S LIFE IS IN IMMINENT DANGER OF FLORIDA!!! 10/20/09: Keenan’s trial was today. updates coming:KEENAN’S LIFE IS IN IMMINENT DANGER OF FLORIDA!!! The BLOOD of Keenan Robinson is in the hands of Missouri!!!!! A prosecutor, who is also an expecting mother, showed pure hatred for my son, tries her hardest to send him back to Florida’s brutal abuse, and back in the clutches of Florida’s malicious state prosecutor Catina Wilson, and judge Marci Goodman who has a pathological hatred for Keenan and his mother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Either way the government wanted him, uses excessive force as if he committed heinous crimes of multiple brutal murders! Keenan will not get to spend Christmas with his family = the first year anniversary of his mothers death!!!!! Returning Keenan to Florida is signing a child’s death sentence!!!!!!!!!! November 4th, 2009, Happy Birthday Amy! Amy would of been 32 today. Keenan remains in secure detention alone while other teens are sent home where they belong. I spoken with Leslie Ann Brown, her spirits we’re very low. Leslie could not tell Amy, her daughter happy birthday. Leslie said she could not sleep. Leslie, Keenan’s grandma is very concern and told me she needs him home for Christmas. We need him home! This Christmas, will be the 1st year anniversary of his mothers death. Union, refuses to let him grieve. I can only imagine what Keenan, a bereaved child is going through. They call this help??? Criminalizing, shackling, full court proceedings, marking children felons, isolating and erasing loving family till attempted suicide! The most he destroyed was a piece of paper! Full updates on the trial, the hearings after the trial, Florida, corruption. Union, Missouri commits child torture to Keenan! Union played a Hollywood Missouri show me game to a bereaved child. On 10/18/09 Keenan attempted suicide by hanging! Keenan is not allowed to grieve and live in normality. Union Missouri continues a government experimental torture to my son. I will prevail to expose the corruption and the abuse to my family, whats left of it! update: 11/23/09: Keenan, a bereaved teen, Union, Missouri marked as a felon remains institutionalize as a criminal! I spoken with Keenan tonight by phone. He was having a rough night. After our phone conversation, I learned he was stigmatized by another youth about his mother which caused him to snap that led into a fight between the two youths. Union, Missouri denies Keenan’s, and my request to continue help for him on the outside. Keenan needed a grieving organization for all children, youths and adults who are grieving the loss of a significant one. Can you imagine being barely 14 years old, having group sessions and needing to talk about your mother in front of a group of tough teens who are not grieving a loss one, but serving time as criminals. I have asked for a compassionate release for Christmas which will mark the 1st year of Amy, his mothers death so we can be together in comfort. Keenan is not allowed to grieve in normality. Therefore I will not mourn. Six court officials just in Union Missouri alone including his own defense are responsible for Keenan’s therapy of destruction, sinking him into deep depression which lead to suicidal thoughts to an attempt of hanging himself with his own sweater. Could it just be a coincidence that Clayton, Missouri new about Keenan’s arrest from the get go? Or just in plain cahoots? Union, and Clayton, Missouri wanted so much to send Keenan back to Florida’s brutal prisons of abuse and deaths done to our children! 1+1 alike = 2 backfires!! Judge Marci Goodman, Florida’s child prosecutor Catina Wilson does a 180?? I presume the wizard had two good spare hearts on hand?? Free Keenan from FLORIDA???????

HAPPY 14th BIRTHDAY KEENAN!
WE LOVE YOU KEENAN!
9/22, 30/09 Keenan remains in secure detention while waiting extradition to Florida, seeing no light at the end of the tunnel. Just pure darkness with no freedom. Florida juvenile jail’s are set up for pure darkness and brutal abuse. Some kids are locked away for 5 – 15 years before they are ever free again, if they live long enough. Locked up, kept away from family is causing Keenan to go insane, he’s having emotional breakdowns, because of not only what he has gone through since the age 6, but all that he has endured in just less than a year, including the death of his mother on Christmas! Keenan was finally freed last year from jail at age 12 after serving 15 months hard time, reunited with his mom, his mom dies on Christmas, we come back home to the mid-west, he gets “abducted, forcibly drugged” by the MO CPS and held in CPS captivity in North St. Louis City! A friend invited us here to Union, Missouri who knew Amy, Keenan’s mom and offered to help. Keenan enrolled in school on time and he was doing better than anyone cares to recognize. He’s a kid with some imperfections. All the Florida abuse plus grieving due to his mom’s death caused him to act out and receive a school suspension, kicked off the football team, placed in handcuffs, escorted to juvenile detention. Keenan’s admitted to a psych ward for a few days, and this time he was not forced on any drugs! He then came home and was fine. One weekend night a girl friend of his called and lured him out of the house. He allegedly made a stupid mistake, gets locked back up. Then to top it all off he’s told by the court he is going back to Florida! Going back to that would cause any child or adult to loose their sanity. Addressed to the court Keenan’s to remain in secure detention because he is a flight risk???? He’s been treated and criminally prosecuted like an adult since 8 years old of age. He is a 13 years old child! I speculate he has an imaginary passport with a massive bankroll. If so, where is all his money? Hidden in a swift account? I’d like to retain him an OJ dream team! Plus we wouldn’t be living here in this country if that was the case. Maybe someone has watched too much law & order? He was looking so forward for the first snowfall. He has waited and wanted snow for many years. Christmas this year he will likely be will be locked in a Florida cage, or a cage wherever. Except this Christmas is not going to be like everyone else s Christmas, which is just around the corner. This Christmas will mark the 1st anniversary of his mother’s death! A time when any child or adult will need his family more than ever!
They do the exact opposite for the help he really needs and deserves. Keenan is labeled an emotionally handicap child, he is also a bereaved child, forbidden to grieve. They expect Keenan to process his thoughts and behave like us adults with fully developed brains! The system he’s caught up in is set up for nothing but failure!
Keenan, charged with littering, 2nd degree arson. He allegedly burned a couple of black marks on the pavilion and lit a piece of paper on fire. Allegedly all caught on video. Three other kids were with him, and none of them arrested and charged with accessory to the fact! While his stay in detention, more criminal charges have been tacked on for destruction of a shower shoe and a hole in a plastic cup. Someone after court informed me of an assault charge on a police officer while 6 had to restrain him? I still have no knowledge of this.
It doesn’t take rocket science to figure out this is sending him off the deep end. But what would they care, it’s not their child! It’s all about the money, power, control, their meal ticket, etc.! At the end of the day they go home to their family and children, wake up in the morning, have eggs over easy and their bacon sweet. So take the easy way out, send him back to Florida that created him, finish destroying him. Florida, the place that violated our human rights, abused him, destroyed our family! And of all things, stopped us from hope! Hope for a young beautiful sick mother to get well! Florida, the last place being with his mom and where he learned of her death on Christmas, 2008. Keenan does way more good things than bad. No one ever praises him for his good. It’s time for a new generation court for kids with reverse psychology than the courts that are criminalizing our babies and causing severe psychological damage to our children. Is there even someone with competence who can help? My first choice for help would be Dr Robi Ludwig. Link: Annie’s Hope ~ Providing support for children, teens and families who are grieving. Instead of allowing him to have the proper help for grieving, they keep him under lock and key! Slowly and surely driving and steering him towards depression! October updates on Keenan: I call him daily, see him 3 to 4 times a week. He has regained and is hanging on to his sanity in spite of the psychological torture they do to his mind. But keep in mind Keenan his locked up in a civil facility with civil people who are working well and hard with him. He is doing well with schooling, he is on level 2 out of 3, which I hear 3 is just around the corner, and he is not forced on any drugs! Just like any human or animal, it took him time to adjust to being caged. I’ve helped him to ease his mind of the horrific return to Florida. Here in Union he is in locked up with his own culture for once where no one will walk by him and dangerously attack his head, body, or try raping him and no full grown men or women, staff in Florida who are paid to watch them are known to have abuse children psychologically and or physically, to cause or inflict serious injuries or even death upon him.
Free Keenan Missouri shows ‘em Mental health court helping kids Free Riley
Is Keenan in jail or with you? They have gotten so crazy about charging kids with crimes and trumped up charges for typical childhood misbehavior. Its only going to get worse the older he gets. I think his acting out and problems all stem from being in the juvenile system from such a young age and all the separation from his mother. Plus all the meds he has been put on periodically. I really think all Keenan needs is one really good counselor that he sees regularly and some mentoring, especially from someone who maybe got into some trouble in their youth and then went on to succeed in life. I am afraid that the longer this in and out of jail as a child cycle continues the more lost to that lifestyle he will become. Its a sad situation. Keenan deserved a childhood and he has been robbed of that entirely. From what I’ve heard Missouri has a good free mental health service through the state that offers counseling. I realize of course that Florida’s children are treated worse than animals. As long as you are in Missouri I would plead with them to offer some services because I know they have both counseling and mentoring programs. If he is sent back down here then I would be prepared for the worst. I will pray about it.
Rick,
I have seen many cases like this and it is a travesty. In time you will see that it will get even worse. As a young boy I remember well doing a few dumb things and before I knew it I was caught up in a system that almost destroyed my entire life. The Florida Department of Family and Children’s Services and the Florida Department of Juvenile Justices’ system are very dangerous agencies.
It is no more than a thundering avalanche of bad policies that will destroy a child’s entire life within months. Both systems are so over-burdened that no one cares about the/any single child any longer. All they see is the big picture and as long as they “move them along,” so they are out of sight, the problem (in their eyes) has been solved. The Florida system (years ago) lost all compassion for children and/or their families. Former Florida orphanage facilities became the juvenile courts dropping off ground for hiding children in the system as a measure of trying to cover up their mistakes and lack of oversight. The only ones who ended up suffering were the children and their families. No one has had the gumption to stand up and make the changes that should have been made many years ago.

THE TRUTH? You Decide
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!
KEENAN IS HOME.
On Wednesday, July 15th 2009 my attorney mediated in chambers nearly an hour. St. Louis County Family Court said they would help Keenan their way! There is no seeing eye to eye with these bureaucrats. It’s their way or the highway. They wanted to go by that Keenan is injurious, take jurisdiction, control him with drugs and keep him from family, against all professional doctors advice. Keeping him from family to cause an everlasting psychologically effect on him. Oh CPS bureaucrats, it doesn’t take rocket science to figure this all out. This a young child, and my child, whom you forcibly torn away from his mother, banned her from love and family support, Keenan missing her for years, documented by doctors, psychologists, doctors of your own choice, recently reuniting, then she dies on Christmas morning. Don’t you hate it when doctors of your own choice will not lie for you! Are you that ignorant! No! the answer is just plain sick in the heart and out of control! I stopped my lawyer just before as he was approaching the court room for mediation and stated “I want my son home, I do not want help from Missouri”! Nearly an hour later my attorney came out from the courtroom, approached me, handed me a legal document signed by the judge, stating case dismissed due to lack of evidence. “Can we say mistake dismissed”! Keenan’s case manager wanted him to go to boy’s & girls town to pick up all his belongings, but he was nowhere to be found! Before we could even flinch, Keenan and his aunt were vanished into thin air! They literally must of ran full speed ahead, never looking back, from the courthouse, jumped into the car, and raced as far away from there as quick as lightning. Keenan has been kid-jacked once again, only this time with my blessings, full consent, approval, and in the company of an ally= family, his aunt. Not CPS children & family abusers! Keenan’s face has been beat on. His face was swollen with bruises, lumps, cuts on his lip, neck, cuts inside his mouth. Keenan stated he was strangled to an unconscious state by a 19 year old male adult whom was a resident in the facility living with Keenan. Why is this dangerous adult living with children?! I’ll be taking him to a hospital Friday for a complete check up. I planned on taking him Thursday but my motor vehicle became disabled. These pass three and a half months have literally cause me to go completely bankrupt, due to the high volume of calls I had no choice in in making. Searching for help, research, driving, all the fuel, the interview, tripling my mobile Phone bill, on the go, searching a way to rescue Keenan period. For the first in 25+ years I cannot pay my phone bill, and is being shut off, due to running out of US currency which little I have earned and saved to support us till I found work. On the go, searching a way to rescue Keenan period from these CPS barbarians. While waiting at the case manager’s office to pick up Keenan’s belongings, not even two hours have passed. I noticed a missed call and a new voice mail. It was a man from the Missouri probation department stalking us, stating St. Louis County Family Court in Clayton, Missouri can we say “satin’s court”, just informed him he is back in my custody and needing to do a home investigation right away. How about more like home invasion and intrusion! Clayton and Florida, two evil tricks in one. Where has the probation department been for months and months and months? Myself and the case manager finally left for boy’s & girls town to pick up all of Keenan’s belongings. I made it on the inside and upstairs of boy’s & girls town. It was far from what I ever imagined! Nothing close like the 1938 movie, starring Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney. The white narrow claustrophobic hallways. Metal blue doors with a little a rectangle window, based on a juvenile institution setting. Entering Room #203, Keenan’s Room were being held in CPS captivity, it gave me the total creeps. All was so dismal, eerie, dark, ghostly, very sad and lonely, cries of children, adults not listening, drugs to silence them! I could feel all Keenan’s frustrations, his pain and suffering, his agony! A big portion of the wall was demolished what I suspect came from Keenan’s anger. Keenan’s bed was a little cot attached to a wooden frame, an open closet, one window overlooking a yard surrounded by red brick buildings. I cannot remember if in there was a mirror. A three drawer dresser and a one drawer desk built onto the wall. Sitting on top of the desk was a good size bulletin board. I walked over to look at Keenan’s artwork he had thumbed tacked onto it. What I saw hurt me deep in pain, tears are falling. On several sheets of paper were very nice drawings of one heart per sheet. I had no idea Keenan could draw this good. His mom drew like this. What choked and touched me were what writings said inside of the hearts, AMY MARIE BROWN, RIP, 1977-2008, I Love You Mom!

Clayton Missouri’s Deal??? Below, an email to me 6/10/09 from my attorney changed into my own words to avoid an Attorney-Client Privilege legal loophole, is the best the deal from the intruders one day before a trial that never took place due to my son living out in the wilderness for therapy, and he did wonderful. Free Keenan SYSTEMATIC DESTRUCTION OF FAMILIES
The prosecutor made an offer.
If I will admit to the amendment printed below, they will drop the abuse charge. If I agree to admit to the change, they will provide services in Missouri and not send Keenen back to Florida. If I don’t agree with the change, they will try me tomorrow afternoon. If they win on the Abuse charge, then they will keep Keenan and provide services in Missouri. If they lose, they said that they will send him back to Florida. It seems, they intend to keep him here, and “provide him with services”. They say “he has a lot of potential” – I don’t need them to tell me that, and I don’t trust them either… If we go to trial, the prosecutor would have to call Keenan as their chief witness. They need him to say that I attacked him. They may send me out of the Courtroom while he testifies. I will be my own witness to say I restrained him. Keenan might get send out of the Courtroom while I testify. I can ask for him to leave the Courtroom too. They say they don’t like for kids and parents to see each other testifying.
The prosecutor’s proposal : -
“The juvenile is without proper care and custody, in that on or about March 31, 2009, in St. Louis County, Missouri, the juvenile sustained multiple bruises on his body as a result of a physical altercation with his father. The juvenile’s father is unable to inappropriately care for the juvenile, due in part to the juvenile’s history of moderate to severe behavioral and emotional problems. The juvenile’s father has not had permanent housing since coming since coming to St. Louis in approximately February 2009. The juvenile’s mother is deceased.”
They say that if I agree to this change, the Court will take custody of Keenan and place him with the Children’s Division. He will get an individual therapist. He will be moved to a specialized foster home “as soon as they can”. They will also order me to do a psychological exam, individual therapy, and drug drops. They say that their goal is reunification with of Keenan with me, BUT they won’t make any guarantees….. They say this is the best deal I would consider. They won’t blame Keenan and they won’t blame me. Keenan gets therapy, but I also have to do therapy and eventually family therapy if I want to get him back….. otherwise they may change the goal to something else. They say they aim to resolve cases like this in 12-18 months. BUT they could change the Petition at the last moment before the trial. I might have to defend against their original Abuse Charge and whatever amendment they add.
If I do not admit and I will never admit to the false allegations on child abuse and neglect! Clayton Missouri CPS would rather return Keenan to pure evil, with cruel intent to cause imminent child endangerment, with everlasting emotional damage and possible death by returning him to a Florida prison. Clayton Missouri, DJO Sarah Renschen whom alienated my family, instead of admitting her mistake, continues with the process, then to just send my son home to his father whom loves him very much that has been there for him since birth. The untrained CPS, instead of helping a family with needs, alienates my family, whats left of it! Keenan kid-jacked from school that I trusted with my child’s, forcibly drugged my son without parental consent, against his will, by mouth, by force injection with needles, without a single trace or knowledge of any kind of family background, medical history what so ever! They plain simply stole my son, my custody without due process, drugged him. I don’t recall authorizing these monsters on the school pickup list! They cannot even spell his name correctly, or on a professional psychological evaluation. On Thursday afternoon, July 9th, 2009, I went to visit Keenan. He was he good spirits. He told me he wants to come home. He has had enough of being held in CPS captivity. At the end of the visit that afternoon his caseworker handed me a letter from the hot line investigator Almira Besic. Almira Besic may be the one whom physically kid-jacked my son from school, disrupted a professional mental health team for Keenan to receive proper help and to continue with his education. Almira Besic is the one whom came out to my brothers house and took the false report. Everything Sarah Renschen said on Monday morning April 13th, 2009, could happen, is happening. A letter from Almira Besic based on her opinion, finding me guilty of child abuse and neglect, placing me on a national child abuse and neglect registry was handed down to me from Keenan’s case manager. Sarah Renschen stating certain kind of jobs I qualify for will be no longer and started to explain an appeals process. Other statements from her were, I may need a psych eval to make sure I have no disorders, no reporter would believe a child abuser and if my son has emotional problems, he will be institutionalized and if the pro’s say he needs drugs, he will be drugged! I wonder why a journalist from the United Kingdom is documenting, interviewing our family, on expensive camera equipment for well over a year now? Let it be known trial isn’t till Wednesday, July 15th, 2009, 1:30pm. Friday, July 10th, at 12:25am I had a miss call and a voice mail of a man in the background stating “he’s not picking up”, he hung up. I did check the number, put 2 & 2 together. It was exactly what my senses felt. My son was reaching out, trying to call me. I called the place where Keenan is being held in CPS captivity, I asked if Keenan ran off in the night. It was confirmed a yes. I knew the man I heard on voice mail was a police officer because of where the call came from which was University City Hall. Caller id identified it from #3148626767. It was confirmed by staff police returned Keenan in handcuffs. CPS, DJJ abuse began in Florida, 2002. Florida violated our human rights by courting ordering no contact, forcibly denying our dearest loved one, Keenan’s mom from love and family support whom was admitted in a hospital trying to get well. Florida playing God. Now Clayton Missouri takes a devastating tragedy, continues an experiment on one American family and the production of a circus freak show for profit, based on lies and opinion’s. I wouldn’t want CPS help if we were dying souls in need of an antidote. “I will prevail to expose CPS abuse”. You may have stolen my son, forcibly drugged him to silence his cry’s, while making up lies, but he is my son, through God, Amy and Blood! That you can never change! Keenan needs to have his freedom with his family! It has been documented in every psychological evaluation he has had throughout his childhood years by professional doctors that he missed, wants and needs his family. Keenan does need help, but being denied the freedom to be with his family and to have productive involvement with family, will result in everlasting psychological and emotional damage. It’s just shows pure evil on how the child protective service really are. I think he has had enough abuse in Florida, and now losing his mother. Is there any real help out there for people whom are not rich? NO! The rise in false allegations of child abuse damages children. The current child protection system deliberately harms children by unwarranted and intrusive investigations by professionals. Children are separated from parents, refused contact with parents or siblings and their questions are ignored.
This morning July 14th, 2009 Keenan’s case manager called and asked me to aid in helping Keenan get back on track. He has really been having a bad couple of weeks. Keenan’s case manager is a wonderful person and I commend her. My lawyer also called with another deal from the other side willing to get Keenan help. Again its all about control, not real help. Keenan is highly endangered of being forcibly drugged, being kept from loving family from these CPS monsters. Are there any success stories of CPS truly helping a family? I’ve been informed Sarah Renschen will not be in court. The reason is unknown to me at this time. Today is now Wednesday, July 15th, 2009 the day of trial, scheduled for 1:30pm.
His problem is force separation from his mom at age 6 ordered by Judge Goodman! Free Keenan
Quick Updates: Thank you for the few wonderful people who work in the Florida courts. We made it out of Florida to South Carolina. South Carolina didn’t work out! I bow to and thank South Carolina from the bottom of my heart for their compassion, support, and knowing children and families. People of the courts in Anderson South Carolina are very humble folks! Including the prosecutor! Florida, South Carolina, myself decided the best for Keenan was to go back home to the mid-west for family support. As You know Amy did not make it, but to HEAVEN! Florida still stalks my son to try him in court for a 30 second kid fight last November, 2008, Keenan was attacked first. I asked for compassionate forgiveness due to his mom passing away on Christmas morning. Florida court says no way! Plus, Florida threatens to take Keenan into custody if he doesn’t plead guilty. Will we ever really and truly be free from Florida????
On April 2nd, 2009, three months after the passing of Keenan’s mother, Clayton Missouri CPS abducted and forcibly drugged my son Keenan Robinson on multiple drugs, and one very dangerous drug, Zyprexa! AGAINST MY CONSENT and AGAINST HIS WILL! Because it melts quick in the mouth??? (“Quote, Dr. James Edwards “). Sarah Renchen , even though she has never even met my son or has no knowledge of his history except a brief acquaintance in court, gave the order to abduct him from school, behind my back. Within a few days just as she pre-deciced, Sarah Renchen institutionalizes Keenan and has him forcibly drugged. DJO Sarah Renchen says he is much more calm now, forcibly drugged! So as someone on Heroin! Restrained by drugs? Placing a bandage over a sore and the sore is still there. All the truth and facts I share with her, she just keeps putting a twist on everything just to finish off a family and to pass the buck! Her government power has gone to her head!How many children and families has she done this too? How many more innocent lifes will Sarah Renchen try to destroy? Families please come forward!!!
On March 31st, 2008, Keenan refuse to go to school stating he was too sick. I gave him the option to take him to the clinic, and if he was sick he had a pass from the doctor to stay home in bed. He decided to take some swings at me, I restrained him with love. St. Louis County Police arrived. He lied to police and falsely stated I beat him up. No arrests were ever made. The police are not ignorant. Clayton Missouri DCFS stuck their noses into a private matter.
Two days later April 2nd, 2008 Keenan’s abducted from Hancock Place Middle School. I do not recall putting CPS on the pick up list at Hancock Place Middle School. I trusted this school with my son’s life! These devil advocates disrupted a whole professional team set in place. Clayton, Missouri CPS abducted and placed him in foster care somewhere in a dangerous ghetto in North St. Louis. The school that I trusted with my son’s well being never even called me to tell of my son’s abduction. Within a few days he Keenan’s admitted in a psych ward at St Vincent De Paul, and forcibly drugged! Restrained by adults, forcibly injected with drugs by needles because he was spitting out the pills from his mouth. My son did place a call to me and plead to get him out. I am helpless at this time due to government abuse of power. In charge of all actions, Sarah Renchen , a very ruthless, deputy juvenile officer of with no conscious, whom pre-decided this before it all happened. Sarah Renchen , of St. Louis County Family Court CPS stating I no longer have custody, the state has, they can do whatever they want.
Keenan, a 13-year-old bereaved child whom just lost his mother Christmas morning 2008, after a very short reunion, is very disturbed over his loss, a child’s way of lashing out. Keenan is also being denied medical treatment, and we are both under a doctor’s care because of the involvement in an auto accident when we first arrived in St. Louis, MO. He has been complaining of headaches due to the accident. He is being totally neglected by MO DCFS, not allowing him to follow-up with his doctor appointments three times a week due to this auto accident, his human rights violated, abused by force drugging of the dangerous drug, Zyprexa! Sarah Renchen ‘s cruel intent by the stroke of her pen, is to ruin my life, livelihood. A woman who has no children of her own will cause more emotional damage and great harm to my son, with a high possibility of physical damage and irreversible side effects to a top fit and healthy body on my 13-year-old son from the dangerous drug Zyprexa! People like Sarah Renchen must be held criminally liable for their heinous crimes against children and families. Abducted and forcibly drugged by Clayton Missouri bureaucrats, CPS, DCFS Monsters of America! Free Keenan

On Christmas morning Amy passed away in the state of Delaware. No one knows the cause yet. She was the sweetest person ever. Her poor soul was disturbed from being sick and court ordered from all love and family support. Thrown to the streets to one day die. Florida still prosecutes him for a minor kid fight. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE FLORIDA FOR THINGS THEY DID TO US and OTHER VICTIM’S! She lived for her son Keenan! She struggled daily. Florida did not allow us to give her love and the family support she needed and deserved! In 2002 she was thrown away by a Florida Santa Rosa County Sadistic Court system to die! They acted though if you were a monster. Little do they know! My son and I are so in shock! We want out of Florida to get back home for closure. Life will NEVER be the same with out Amy! I am so heart broken of the thought we can NEVER talk to her or see again!!! Even though she wasn’t with us for some years, just knowing she was alive & well, kept us content and gave us hope she could saved so alone. WE ALL LOVE YOU AMY!!!! I had no idea that such a beautiful Florida beach could have such a spiteful and sadistic court system to our families & our children. If we have never moved down here from Illinois, you would of had the proper help and support years ago! I plead to leave 3 years ago. They continued the two years of malicious prosecution of Keenan at the tender age of 9 because he missed and worried about you so much for so long when you were forcibly banned from our lives. FORGIVE ME Amy making wrong decisions because our own US government FL DCFS lied and falsified statements, put a sick twist on our family when being straight up with Lisa Howie Rigby from the start. They violated our human rights! I will always Love you! Keenan will always Love you more than anyone in the whole universe! I will take care of our baby K the best I can! I know baby when you were leaving your body on your way to Heaven your soul finally found peace on Jesus Birthday!
We Love you Amy Marie (Brown) Robinson!
With All My Love, Eternity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She was a good person and I am glad to have called her a friend! My heart is with her son and his father cause they are still having to deal with the Florida judicial system(the people responsible for this tragedy) You will be missed when your needed the most.

After court today I dropped my son off at school. Within an hour the resource officer who charged my son on 11/18/08 for fighting another kid, that slapped his ear and rubbed lotion on his face, called me to take him back to jail again! What are they thinking, do they want my own son to hate me? So I did just that, to avoid my son being shackled. Let me be very clear that he had already been processed, and spent 2 nights in jail for this crime, and he was in front of the judge on 11/18-20/08, and was released. So why is it that Florida does this twice to a child for the same incident? Can you say DOUBLE JEOPARDY?? Now this state is violating my child’s Fifth amendmant rights or is Florida somehow exempt from the constitution of the United States of America???
What my son is going through. He is stressed out from his trauma of seeing his mom, shackled like a criminal at age 6, taken away from him like that and at such a young age. It was too much for his mind to deal with, which causes him to act out emotionally. Then it is compounded by his situation and confinement from this Florida, Santa Rosa Co. barbaric system. They rarely know how to properly deal with people, children & families, babies, etc., so they create textbook definitions of them and guidelines to herd them in as cattle and fail to properly take each case on a one on one basis like it should be. So in the end they usually ruin the individuals life more by doing the exactly the opposite of what should have been done to help them get well. This is a child industry to torture us & to just “pass the buck” for their own greed! We, us tax payers are paying for it, “dearly”!!!! Keep your children safe. “STAY OUT OF FLORIDA”! “PROTECT YOURSELF FROM DCFS, CPS MONSTERS of the USA”. Free Keenan
On July 23rd, at 1749 Keenan was freed and reunited with his mom and dad. Unfortunately he is still in the clutches of Judge Marci Goodman, prosecutor Catina Wilson, Santa Rosa , and Escambia County Florida. He currently remains on probation, indefinitely. Our quest to completely free Keenan from the system and to help other children like him continues…stay tuned, thank you for your support.
Hi, My name is Amy Brown, Keenan’s mom. As all the readers of this website know I’ve lost my supervised, mail, phone, and physical contact privileges many times. Once it has been through fault of my own, and other times I have been used as a pawn to hurt and punish my son. At this time however, they are restored. Keenan received a felony charge and conviction, 3 days after his 12th birthday in 2007, for allegedly scuffling during a physical restraint at Camp E Ma Chamee. He was having some emotional issues around that time and was supposed to be participating in a group event when he became emotional and upset and walked off from the group to collect himself. A member of the staff felt it was necessary to come over and restrain him but during the restraint Keenan accidentally hit the staff member in the eye. Because of the charge and conviction, he was soon after transferred to Greenville Hills Academy, where he remains today. Naturally I fear for Keenan’s life and I know that if he receives one more felony he would become a triple felon and be detained in a Department of Corrections Juvenile Prison. During the initial time of confinement I had no contact, and no one from the facility, the probation or judge’s office would speak to me, because I was not the custodial parent. Almost a year later my rights were restored because Keenan’s case manager at Greenville Hills Academy, Mr. Fudge, petitioned the courts and asked that they give my right to contact my son back to me. With my rights restored, and my son going through a period of ups and downs, I decided to come to Florida to visit my son. We had a wonderful, but way too short 48 hours together. But of course all good things come to an end, and when Keenan returned to Greenville Hills Academy, he had an emotional break down and was restrained by a member of the staff. We were shortly thereafter told that since Keenan seemed to have emotional problems, after returning from visits home that he would not be allowed anymore 48 hour passes. I should tell you that in the past, Keenan has always had some sort of emotional breakdown after being returned to captivity. When he was first told he could not graduate from Elementary School before going to Jail, as Judge Goodman had originally promised him, he had to be put on a suicide watch. He always seems to have breakdowns when returning to these facilities, his mind simply cannot cope with it. In some of the psychological reports, he has been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, we feel that this is a direct result of that day so long ago that he saw me in shackles, at the age of 6. After I was told that Keenan would not be getting anymore passes home, and that he might never be able to get out of Greenville Hills Academy if the breakdowns, and behavior issues continued, I made an easy decision and decided to stay in Florida where I could visit my son more frequently. I did this in hopes that the consistency of my visits would in turn give Keenan short goals to work towards so that he would eventually be able to get out. I had noticed in the past that Keenan always managaed to keep his behavior in check for a few weeks at a time and was capable of working towards a more short term goal, but when it came to a longer goal he just couldn’t stay perfect for that length of time. When I say perfect I’m not exaggerating, these facilities expect the kids to be perfect and when they falter, their sentence often starts over, so in other words until the child maintains perfect behavior for a set length of time they cannot advance forward to the next phase of the “program”. As a result some of these children remain in the system until they are 19 or even older, this is because they are not sentenced to a specific amount of time, like you or I would be if we committed a crime. In the juvenile court world these kids are most often given an indeterminate sentence which means they can be held until at least 19, or until the court decides that they have served enough time. This is how my son has come to do so much time over what originally started as childhood mischief, stealing a bicycle. Since my return to Florida and my bi-weekly visits my son has finally received a “graduation” date and a possible release date. I am very proud of him, he is an amazing young man. Currently we are waiting for Judge Marci Goodman to sign the release papers and send them back to Greenville Hills Academy. It has been a few weeks now and we are starting to get worried that she won’t sign them, in fact we received a warning from Debra Allen, Keenan’s probation officer that often times the Judge does not sign the Academy’s release plan because she may feel that a few additional months are needed. Keenan’s graduation from Greenville Hills was on July 10th, but his release is not scheduled until the 23rd. I think this is done so that he has time to mess up before his release so that the possibility of him not being released exists. You should also know that should Keenan get out, he may have to stay on probation until he is 19 years old. I am optimistic that he will be allowed to come home, and I am eagerly awaiting his return home so we can begin the rest of our lives together.
To Whom It May Concern: I have had the pleasure of having Keenan in my home on two different occasions while he was out on his 48 hour passes. I found him to be extremely well behaved, quiet, and well spoken. He was a pleasure to have around and was quite capable of having an intelligent conversation. I could also however detect the sadness in him when he spoke about his mother and how much he longed to spend time with her. I also had the pleasure of meeting his mom, Amy on his second 48 hour pass. She has decided to stay with me for a couple of months so she could go see Keenan each weekend. Their reunion was touching beyond words, and I found her to be a remarkable person. In fact we have become great friends. I am convinced that she is going to stay clean not only for herself but for her son. In fact as she told me, ” When I see my son this little boy that needs me, how could I want to get high?” I think that Amy’s achievements thus far are outstanding and even though she has made some mistakes in her life, she is taking responsibility for her actions and making the necessary changes to improve her life and her son’s. I think the best possible outcome for these two would be for Keenan to be reunited with his Mom. I fear that if this doesn’t happen soon that he too may become lost to the system.
“Separation”
Separating a parent and child can also have profoundly negative effects.
Even when it is necessary, research indicates that removing children from their homes interferes with their development. The more traumatic the separation, the more likely there will be significant negative developmental consequences. Repeated separations interfere with the development of healthy attachments and a child’s ability and willingness to enter into intimate relationships in the future. Children who have suffered traumatic separations from their parents may also display low self-esteem, a general distrust of others, mood disorders (including depression and anxiety), socio-moral immaturity, and inadequate social skills. Regressive behavior, such as bed wetting, is a common response to separation. Cognitive and language delays are also highly correlated with early traumatic separation.
Judges, prosecutors, and social workers in child placement must be continually aware of the magnitude of the changes children experience when they are removed from their families. See “Helping a Child Through a Permanent Separation” for ways to minimize the trauma of separation.
“Grief”
In most cases of separation, the families involved go through the five stages of grief (shock/denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and resolution), although not necessarily in this order. For example, it is possible for a grieving person to move from anger to depression and back to anger again. “Reactions to the Five Stages of Grief” is a chart that identifies behavioral expression in children and parents during each of these stages.
One of the most common errors made by judges, prosecutors, social workers, foster parents, and parents is to misinterpret a child’s compliant and unemotional behavior during the shock/denial stage and judge a placement to be a “success.” When a child is thought to have handled the move without distress, later behavioral signs are often not recognized as part of the grieving process. They may be ignored or attributed to emotional or behavioral problems. At times the child may even be punished for them, intensifying the child’s distress and depriving him of support and help!

Keenan was recently reunited with his Mom on his latest 48 hour pass, its the first time in years that they were able to spend unsupervised time together. They were actually able to spend the night together under the same roof. The video seen here is one of the happy times they shared on their recent visit.
I just wanted to take a moment to comment on the article written about Amy Brown, by Farrar Fletcher. I realize that some of the things in the article don’t help to make Amy look good. But this website is not just an attempt to make someone look good, it is a website about exposing the truth, and in fairness that truth must be present in all things covered here. Amy Brown has made some mistakes and is by no means perfect. I too have made mistakes. We are only human, and as such we have done the best job we possibly could at raising our son. That is the truth and as such I want you to know all of it. Now that being said, one might ask, “Where is Amy Brown Now.??? Amy has not only continued to stay clean she has managed to get her GED, take college courses and maintain a 4.0 GPA, she has managed to maintain a home and hold a steady job, all the while continuing to deal with her ongoing health problems. She is an active participant in helping other people stay clean and sober. She still remembers the day her baby saw her in shackles in fact, she had to be removed from the court house because she couldn’t stop crying. She remembers waiving to Keenan, and that he looked very disturbed and wouldn’t waive back to her. Shortly after that, she was thrown out in the streets, sick, addicted, and grieving. She was left to die, and at the time that is what motivated her to slit her own throat, while attempting suicide. She felt she had nothing to live for after losing two of the only people, who had ever loved and cared for her, Keenan and myself. This girl was troubled and just needed help, and most of all family support. Granted her problems may have been bigger than yours, but haven’t you too, ever just needed a little helping hand? So now you, know all of the good, the bad, and the ugly, truth. I now need that truth, and your support to help set my son Keenan free. Free Keenan
She Never Gave Up….Accomplishments by Amy Brown
The following is a copy of an article written about Keenan’s mother Amy Brown, it appeared in the Illinois Times. It highlights some of the things Amy has accomplished while getting clean.
BY FLETCHER FARRAR
I thought she had star quality, like Reese Witherspoon, maybe, the way she got up to speak before the audience of some 200 people at the PORA fundraising dinner March 3. She was poised, funny, like when she told about almost getting kicked out of PORA, a little embarrassed by a few details of her story but in a charming way. She had gone to work for an escort service, and learned the sex trade, because she didn’t want to steal. Then, as I listened to 29-year-old Amy Brown, her real name, it sank in that this was no high-class hooker but a poor little girl who is lucky to be alive. She was no practiced speaker but instead was telling her story in public for the first time, scared to death. She’s pretty now, but not long ago she was down to 87 pounds, covered with bruises, and miserable with drugs, alcohol, and a life of destruction. She’s a star, not of movies, but of long-term tough-but-compassionate recovery, the PORA way. Now, after a year in the two-year program, recovering but still fragile, she has turned from rule-breaker to advocate. “I’m huge about these rules,” Amy says. She was 11 when her father was murdered. She hated her mother and was sent away to live with relatives in Utah and then a foster home, where she was sexually abused. At 17 she had a son, who was taken away from her four years later because of her drug use. “That’s when I looked up escort services in the phone book.” At 23 she tried to commit suicide by slitting her own throat. Her drug use started with acid, weed, and alcohol when she was 12, then meth at 13, and heroin at 21. She eventually switched to cocaine: “That was a monster. I ran out of veins I could use.”
Inspired by her banquet speech, I arranged to interview her at PORA’s building on 11th Street. She told me she was in a 30-day drug-treatment program in Quincy when she first noticed a brochure for PORA with its old name, Prostitutes, Options, Referrals and Alternatives. Prostitution, unmentionable in the culture of drug-treatment centers, was a piece of the addiction mess Amy hadn’t found help for. PORA also offered a long-term residential treatment program, something she knew she needed: “I wanted to want to quit for many years.” She called PORA but couldn’t get in. Months later, she was arrested on drug charges in Charleston, placed under the supervision of a drug court, and threatened with prison. A call to the organization that now calls itself Positive Options, Referrals and Alternatives turned up an available bed. That was in March 2006. “I just knew that this was where I needed to be,” she says. “It has the time. You can’t change overnight.”
Long-term residential treatment centers for women trying to leave prostitution are cruelly rare. The handful of others are in major cities.Springfield has one because a woman named Dee Nelson, after trying to help a prostitute she met on a street corner, envisioned it in the early ’90s. With 11 others, she formed the organization in 1992, and its shelter was opened in 1997. Since then PORA has offered hope and housing to 110 women. The success rate is carefully stated by executive director Bernie Carver: “Over the past five years, people who were here six months or more have a better than 80 percent chance of long-term success” — which also means that many don’t make it. PORA’s task is like “reparenting,” Carver says. “Women need a lot of support.” Amy, a treatment veteran, adds this: “We’re wasting tons of money on 30-day treatment centers with no aftercare. There are only six beds here, but the impact PORA makes is much larger than its capacity.” Amy’s year has been filled with 12-step meetings and therapy sessions. “I wasn’t used to talking about my issues,” she says. “The therapy I had as a child was led by the therapist. Here, you get to hear your questions and then your answers. They just say ‘uh-huh.’” She took GED classes, got tutoring in math, and passed the GED exam in June. Now she has a restaurant job and is enrolled at Lincoln Land Community College. Once anorexic, she’s learning to like food again. She took parenting classes and gained the right to visit her son, now 11. They had two four-hour sessions together before Christmas. She writes to him often and is tape-recording a Harry Potter book to send to him. “I’m trying to do everything I can to get him back,” she says. Amy is clear about her goals: “I want to get my son, to be self-sufficient, to be healthy and happy.” She sighs and smiles: “I still have a long way to go. I’m not sure how much it will take. I’m going to do whatever it takes.”

God created our perfect bouncing baby boy, our happy little bundle of joy, the apple of our eye, Keenan. We couldn’t have been happier and things couldn’t have been better. But eventually Amy, Keenan’s mom became involved with drugs (see our next post for more details on that) and got into some trouble, in the St. Louis/Illinois area. I went to the Illinois, prosecutor and asked him to help me get her into treatment. I knew that deep down she was a good mom, and that Keenan needed her. He vowed to give Amy a chance to turn her life around and get the help she needed and wanted. Tragically just three weeks after entering the Gateway Rehabilitation Facility, Amy became ill and was forced to leave treatment. She tried to stay clean but with her illness and the lack of medical help, she just seemed to sink deeper into the addictions. She would stay clean for a few weeks and then relapse. Eventually I decided to follow my dream of being near the ocean and we moved to Gulf Breeze, Florida. I kept in touch with Amy and encouraged her continued efforts at staying clean. She had managed to stay clean for a few months and wanted to try and put our family back together. After much soul searching, many long talks, and promises to stay clean I finally agreed to let her come to Florida. She stayed clean for about 5 months and things couldn’t have been better, Keenan was happy and healthy and we were getting our family put back together. Unfortunately unbeknown to me, when Amy went home for a few weeks to visit family in St. Louis she relapsed. When she got back and I figured it out, things between us were rough and needless to say we had some family problems. My primary concern was to keep Keenan in a safe, stable, and loving environment. Needless to say he was never left alone with Amy or in any danger when she had a relapse. With all the family problems we were having the police got involved and through them, DCF (aka Destruction of Children and Families) had gotten wind that Keenan’s mom was a drug addict and decided that we couldn’t have any contact with her, despite the fact that she was trying to become well and had already checked into a drug rehab program. As a result Keenan’s mom was immediately and completely ripped out of our lives and thrown out in the streets to die. Well as anyone who has had the displeasure of dealing with DCF knows, once they get involved in your family affairs they don’t get out anytime soon. Soon we were attending this hearing and that hearing in an attempt to keep our family together. One day Keenan and I went to court for what I thought was just another routine hearing. It was at that time that the true emotional destruction of my son began. Keenan and I made our way into the courtroom and found a seat. My happy, babbling, little boy sat quietly by my side when suddenly he noticed his mom sitting in the jury section in shackles. Instantly my happy, babbling, perfect son, was totally shattered. He sat at my side staring in disbelief at the sight of his mother as he had never seen her…in shackles. She was in need of medical help and most of all family support, not shackles! I tried to put my arms around him to comfort him but he pulled away. That was the first time my 6 year old son had ever refused my love or comforting touch. From that moment on my son has never been the same. We were forbidden by DCF to have any contact with his Mom, no phone contact, no visitation, nothing. My sons last early memory of his mother was destined to be of her in shackles. It was from that day on that my sons behavior made a complete 180, he started having nightmares, wetting the bed, he had emotional breakdowns in elementary school and at times was reduced to a crying, inconsolable, wreck. During the breakdowns, he would curl up into a ball and grieve the loss of his mother. The school couldn’t understand the reason behind the behavior or what triggered it. I’m still not sure what triggers it, but I have never doubted that the reason is separation anxiety and a deep yearning for the love that only a Mom can give. Don’t get me wrong, I’m his Dad and I do my best but we all know the differences between the type of love a Mom and Dad provide. The school soon asked my permission to secretly tape some of his emotional breakdowns, in an effort to better understand them and perhaps cure them, I agreed. The video of one such episode has been characterized by Keenan’s psychologist as very disturbing. But, more on that later, as I get things on the site organized I hope to have some of that video and others uploaded for you to see. Soon after seeing his Mom in shackles Keenan also started committing small crimes, when asked about those crimes, he told a member of his church, “If I go to jail, I’ll get to see my Mom. I just want to see her and talk to her, I just want to know she’s alright.” When Keenan was just nine he was with another boy playing in the neighborhood, when that child jumped on a motorbike that was sitting in the driveway of a home and took off with it. Keenan tried to keep up with the boy on foot but was not able to, Keenan being a bit younger and unsure of what to do, grabbed a bicycle along the way, and jumped on it, and took off after the boy so as to not be left alone. That day began the relentless and malicious prosecution of my son as a felony criminal at the tender age of nine. I will explain more in time about how this all played out, but for now I will use this as my stopping point. Please check back frequently for updates in my story, as this site is still under construction. Thank you for your continued support.
