RE: DHR "R.C." NON-COMPLIANCE
ADAP
Box 870395
Tuscaloosa, AL 35487
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Walker County DHR wants my 4 year old son to have visitation in the condition of this house. He was also molested here and they and walker county sheriff did nothing.
Timothy Smith is receiving foodstamps on himself and son Casey Smith. Casey Smith does not live with timothy Smith.timothy Smith takes his foodstamps and trades for pills.He also takes Casey's ssi check and his ssi check and spends it on pills.Marty Smith also lives in same house as Timothy Smith getting his own foodstamps trades his as well for pills. This matter needs to be addressed. Casey is now living with his grandpa because no food in his dad's house, no water, no lights.I believe there has been some complaints made before.Timothy Smith lives at 19 old Lynn rd. Nauvoo Al.35578, mailing address is p.o.box 192 Nauvoo, Al.35578.same addresses for Marty Lou Smith.
Dhr put kids back in a home that is abusive parents. just because they take a course in anger management, don't mean they will do better. after dealing with this family over 8 years I haven't seen anything change. and by the way they have taken that course before.
Why is it that in the state of Alabama there is no way to contact them on the weekends? Does child abuse in this state stop for the weekends? And why did it take them 6 days to make contact with a child who was hospitalized bc she couldn’t take her mothers emotional abuse and allowing strange men with criminal records in the house. Why? They sent this child and her 4 month old son back to a place where drugs are being sold and used. I am outraged at how the walker county dhr handled this. Wellll I for one will give them one hell of a battle seeing to it that they do there job properly even if it entails me flying from the north into this drug infested state. Beware
My son has a case going on in walker county DHR. At this point I fill he is being treated unfairly.he has done everything they have asked but for some reason this will be going on come December a year . The two kids was in his ex wife care when the was taken.but he is the one being treated as if he is the bad guy.is there any way we can get help or sue DHR?
