Michigan Governor Snyder Is Duped With His Child Abuse Task Force

Yo Rick, sweety, baby, come over here and let mama have a little heart-to-heart with you.....


Why the hell do you have folks such as William J. Johnson on a task force to review and evaluate himself?  Come on....


Then, please explain to me how it is that non-attorneys can represent state activities?  You either need to change the language or change the focus.  I have a better idea..


Appoint me.  I will represent all the foster children who have been raped, tortured, beaten, drugging, chained up, locked up in deprivation cells... all recommended, approved and paid for by the folks appointed to this task force.

Governor's Task Force on Child Abuse and Neglect

The charge of the Governor's Task Force on Child Abuse and Neglect is to review and evaluate Michigan's investigative, administrative and both civil and criminal judicial handling of cases of child abuse and neglect, particularly child sexual abuse and exploitation, as well as cases involving suspected child maltreatment related fatalities and cases involving a potential combination of jurisdictions, such as interstate, Federal-State, and State-Tribal. Make recommendations and award grants to develop, establish and operate programs in each of the following categories:  A. Investigative, administrative, and judicial handling of cases of child abuse and neglect, particularly child sexual abuse and exploitation, as well as cases involving suspected child maltreatment related fatalities and cases involving a potential combination of jurisdictions, such as interstate, Federal-State, and State-Tribal, in a manner which reduces the additional trauma to the child victim and the victim's family and which also ensures procedural fairness to the accused. B. Experimental, model and demonstration programs for testing innovative approaches and techniques which may improve the prompt and successful resolution of civil and criminal court proceedings or enhance the effectiveness of judicial and administrative action in child abuse and neglect cases, particularly child sexual abuse and exploitation cases, including the enhancement of performance of court-appointed attorneys and guardians ad litem for children, and which also ensure procedural fairness to the accused.
