Dear Amanda,

I read your post, including your letter of May 6, 03. It
will be over three months that you have been deprived of your
children when you finally get a day in court. This is
violative of your constitutional right to due process. There
is no reason whatsoever that the state should be allowed to
take so much time to bring you in front of a judge to present
your side of a case. I suppose the kids were just snatched
from you without any type of a hearing. Am I right, or was
there some kind of a hearing? If so, did you get to
participate in it? Has a lawyer been appointed to represent
you? Has one been appointed to represent your children? If
so, have you disucssed your problems with this court-
appointed lawyer? What does he tell you? If you don't have a
lawyer, you need one. If you can't afford one, ask the Judge
to appoint you one. Also, I think I would begin to study the
possibility of bringing a damage action against everyone of
these state employees who had any thing to do with snatching
your kids from you for violation of your Civil Rights. I'd
fight back! And what's this "hot line"? Probably some
system whereby people can call in anonymous calls accusing
their enemies of child abuse. You might need to think about
who your enemies are, for they are probably the ones calling
in on the "hot line". If you can't find a lawyer who wants
to handle that damage suit for you (most lawyers don't like
that type of thing, or are afraid to sue the government),
then do it yourself. There is so much law available on the
internet, that one can almost be his own lawyer, at least if
he can't find one to represent him. Just go to Goggle, or
any other search engine, and type in Civil Rights Lawsuits,
and you wil be amazed at what you find. Feel free to call me
and discuss this. Three months is too long to make you wait
for a "due process" hearing. That's not due process. That is
a violation of your Civil Right to due process. Fight back!
Best of luck!

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkerson, Atty.
Lake Charles, LA
