Alabama Department Of Human Resources / Dhr.Alabama.gov review: Government encroachment, civil rights violations, constitutional rights violations, ethics violations

Lee County, Alabama DHR has destroyed our family with the help of Judge Mike Fellows and a network of biased professionals. We were accused of abuse with no real evidence — just hearsay and personal judgment. Judge Fellows even said in court, “the abuse might not have happened, but my husband fits the profile of a child abuser,” and “if he hasn’t abused them yet eventually he will.” That was the justification for ripping our children away.

DHR lawyers Kris Patton and Lenae Simpson, along with Guardian ad Litem Mallory Harper, pushed false claims and never even met with us or our children. We were denied due process from the beginning. We’ve filed multiple motions with supporting evidence — not one has been acknowledged by the court.Along with knowing allowed DHR social workers to commit perjury.

We were also subjected to excessive police involvement with no cause — threats, and surveillance as intimidation. Meanwhile, we’ve done everything DHR demanded, even when the orders were unlawful or made no sense, just to protect our kids from further retaliation.

A local doctor confided to us that DHR works with select counselors who are “in their pocket” — used to write harmful reports and delay reunification, not help families heal.

To make it worse, DHR disclosed our confidential location to a man we were in witness protection from and allowed him unsupervised access to our daughters, even though his rights were terminated over a decade ago. That’s not just a mistake — it’s reckless, cruel, and illegal.

This system isn’t protecting children — it’s targeting families and retaliating against parents who speak up. Judge Fellows and Lee County DHR should be held accountable.
