Social worker arrested for doing the unthinkable with a 13 year old she was supposed to be helping.

The case of Payton Shires is a chilling reminder of what happens when the systems meant to protect our children fail. Shires, a 24-year-old licensed social worker, was entrusted by the National Youth Advocate Program (NYAP) to counsel a 13-year-old boy. Instead, she initiated a sexual relationship with him, documented by disturbing videos found on the teen's phone.

Shires was arrested by Ohio police and charged with four counts of Unlawful Sexual Conduct with a Minor. She was held on a massive $500,000 bail, which she remarkably managed to post on. 

The story took a darker turn just after her release. Armed with a handgun, Shires went to the home of the boy and his mother. Doorbell cameras captured her on the porch; when police arrived, they found her with the gun to her head, threatening to kill herself, accusing the mother and her son of "ruining her life." She was arrested again, and her bond was revoked.

Shires pleaded guilty to:

​4 counts of Unlawful Sexual Conduct with a Minor

​2 counts of Intimidation of a Victim/Witness

​1 count of Inducing Panic (Firearm Specification)

​She was sentenced to nearly 5 years in prison and is now a Tier II Sex Offender for the next 25 years. She also permanently surrendered her social work license.

While Shires is behind bars, the legal battle has shifted to her employer, NYAP. The victim’s mother filed a civil lawsuit alleging:

​Negligent Hiring: Claiming Shires was never competent for the role.

​Failure to Act: The suit alleges the mother reported the inappropriate behavior to a supervisor in September, but the organization failed to remove Shires, allowing the abuse to continue.

​The civil case is currently moving through the discovery phase, as the family seeks justice for the systemic oversight that allowed a predator into their home.

Biden allocated $42.5 billion to connect people with high-speed internet.

It’s now March 2025 and not a single person was connected to new broadband networks using these funds.

What happened?? Where did the money go??

If you don’t pay your taxes, the IRS will come after you.

If Hunter Biden doesn’t pay his taxes, the IRS waits until the statute of limitations expires.

Why is the Biden family treated differently than every other family in America?
