Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to acknowledge our story — most people just scroll on by.
My daughter is not okay right now. We’ve been in this fight for two years. We had about seven months of some stability, but things took a turn and we’re back in uncertainty again. I’m exhausted, but I’m not giving up.
My 23-year career as an RN has been destroyed because we’ve had to manage everything on our own. It’s incredibly time-consuming and draining, but we keep going for her.
We’re still living this every day. Thank you again for seeing it.
Thank you, Jackie. I hear you and I’m sorry you went through that with your son.
I don’t have any faith in CPS or the system either. As an RN, I’ve seen and heard things that would chill people to the core.
It’s sad because we do need real oversight for broken homes and kids in danger — but when the system itself becomes the danger and weaponizes against families, who do you trust?
Thank you, Becky. I really appreciate your kind acknowledgment — yes, this is a big and common problem across Minnesota.
My husband and I kindly adopted our girls from an emergency situation in our family. We already had two boys, a good life, and solid careers. We didn’t break them — we rescued them. When the trauma hit, especially as hormones kicked in, it completely blew up our world. We’re still living it today with our daughter.
Some of what I’m about to share may be disturbing, but it’s the truth. I filed two complaints with MDH about the harm she endured. Both times MDH referred the complaints to CMS for onsite federal investigation. Yet they largely ignored the full scope — my daughter was cycled through multiple hospitals for 170 days. I provided clear documentation of just one example: at age 13 she was physically restrained for 3½ hours with little to no de-escalation attempted. I also submitted photos of lasting scars on her wrists from repeated restraints.
The first complaint was quietly closed with “no findings” — I wasn’t even notified. The second received one call from a nurse investigator… and then silence.
I also filed with the Minnesota Medical Board against three providers last August 2025. They accepted it and sent a letter of receipt, but I’ve heard nothing since.
They put our family through hell. I will not accept “it’s a broken system” when no one is truly addressing it or bringing it to light. We and so many other families desperately need real accountability and effective care for these children.
Youth facility operator suspended over ‘imminent risk of harm’ got $21M Hennepin County contract
Nexus Family Healing, a nonprofit whose CEO earns more than $600,000 annually, won a multimillion-dollar Hennepin County contract to run a new youth mental health stabilization center in Minneapolis.
Now, state regulators have suspended operations at another of its psychiatric residential facilities after finding an “imminent risk of harm” to children.
Former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor, a Somali-American, fatally shot Justine Damond, a dual Australian-American citizen, on July 15, 2017, after she called 911 to report a possible sexual assault in her neighborhood.
She deserve to be remembered
As Minnesota state employees and whistleblowers, we pray that justice will come someday - and it appears that it may actually happen. Thank You @JDVance@VP
As a Minnesota RN who worked as a Care Coordinator in managed health plans for 11 years, I saw the fraud from the inside and reported it multiple times — only to be ignored.
Then I lived the other side of the system when my child was stuck in the mental health system. She was cycled through multiple hospitals for 170 days. I filed two complaints with MDH about the harm I witnessed. The first was quietly closed with “no findings” — I wasn’t even notified.
This past March, I submitted photos of lasting scars on my child’s wrists from restraints, along with documentation of just one of many incidents — a 3½ hour restraint. That was just one example out of many. I’ve heard almost nothing since.
The system protects itself and covers everything up.
I’ve lived both worlds — as a provider inside managed care and as a devastated parent. If anyone actually wants the truth and is willing to listen, I’m here. I’d be glad to share my experiences.
As a Minnesota mom and RN with over 23 years in healthcare, I’ve watched our state get torn apart from the inside.
I’ve seen the fraud up close — in hospitals, in the system that was supposed to protect families, and in the way real people (especially kids in mental health crisis) get cycled through, restrained, over-medicated, and failed while those in power protect themselves.
Our leadership didn’t just fail us. They weaponized the system against the very families they’re supposed to serve.
Thank God for voices like @AlphaNews and Liz Collin who are finally exposing what so many of us have lived. The truth is coming out. Minnesotans are waking up.
No more hiding. We deserve real accountability.

🚨WATCH: Faye Bernstein, a state employee who blew the whistle on fraud in Minnesota, says "the vast majority of people who were involved in retaliation of me got either bonuses or promotions."
"The message is very clear: sit down and shut up," Bernstein says in the new Alpha News documentary Minnesota Mao.
