I have some incredible news to share.
But first, you need to know this part: HB47 is now the law in Florida thanks to @GovRonDeSantis signing it. It protects innocent parents from being falsely accused of abuse and having their children taken from them by introducing some much-needed due process. We pushed for it to pass, and it did.
HB47 was originally called Patterson's Law. It was named after Michael and Tasha Patterson, whose twin boys and older son were taken from them after they were falsely accused of abusing them. The twins continued getting worse under DCF care, because they have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which explains all of their injuries.
Every medical professional who has looked at the case, including DCF experts, have concluded that the injuries were caused by their illness, not abuse.
Despite this, DCF adopted the twins out to another couple, and the state is still threatening to prosecute them. Even after the law that was written for their case passed.
Now, here's the incredible part.
When Tasha Patterson first heard that HB47 had passed, here was the first thing she said:
"Dear God, thank You for putting us in position to force change."
This mother's children were wrongfully taken from her and her husband and given to another family. She still faces criminal charges for abuse that didn't happen.
A law was passed in her name, due in large part to her passionate advocacy, to prevent this terrible thing from happening to other parents. But because it isn't retroactive, she is still fighting for her children, and for her freedom.
And what was her response?
"Dear God, THANK YOU"
This woman, her husband and her children have gone through a nightmare that few of us could even imagine. And her first response was gratitude that she is being used to save so many others from that same nightmare.
There is grace. And then there's this kind of grace.
This woman needs her boys back.
Folks, I'm not going to rest until Tasha and Michael have their kids back and this nightmare over for them.
Step one is to get these charges against them dropped.
Below, I'll tell you how you can help for free and with just a minute or so of your time.
No Catholic can be a communist, all communists are automatically excommunicated from the Catholic Church. Communism is just socialism on steroids. It’s part of Marxist ideology. All Marxist ideologies are condemned by the Catholic Church. If you’re a communist, socialist or Marxist, stop living a lie. You can’t be Catholic and any of those things. You must choose one or the other. So pick a side. Repent of your Marxist ideology and be a Catholic, or else stop living a lie by calling yourself Catholic, because you’re not! Your Marxist ideology is NOT welcome in the Catholic Church.
@KarlWuckert Also, Karl why did you time travel ahead and steal @Parodyjeffx’s tweet almost word for word that he posted a day after yours then time travel back?
@Chicago_History Why would they move? They own Wrigley Field and much of the surrounding real estate. But if for some asinine reason they did, I’d be fine with it. Cubs fans travel to games in Milwaukee all the time.
If the Bears move to IN and change their name to the Hammond Bears, they’ll still be the Chicago Bears.
It’s almost 20 years and locals still call Chicago’s tallest building the Sears Tower.
You’ll still hear daily: the Hancock, Comiskey, Playboy, Amoco, etc
