Where is Adam Cooper?

ADAM COOPER is a DHHS case worker who was in charge of placing/keeping Jennifer Buckner's children first in one physically abusive foster home, and then in another obviously dangerous out-of-home placement that actually VIOLATED A STANDING PROTECTION ORDER.

Over the course of a year, as Jennifer tried to have her children removed from this situation, even as evidence of physical and emotional abuse was available and provided to him, ADAM COOPER refused to move the children or even acknowledge the dangers. Consequently, we now have photos of physical injuries, tape-recorded telephone conversations where the abusive foster parent (the paternal grandmother, whose son is currently serving time for violently assaulting the children's mother in front of the kids) ABUSES THE YOUNGEST CHILD FOR REFUSING TO CALL HIS MOTHER PROFANE NAMES OVER THE PHONE. IN ANOTHER CALL, THE PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER ADMITS TO BURNING THE YOUNGEST CHILD ON HIS BUTTOCKS AND "ENJOYING" DOING IT!!!!  And finally, even with taped testimony of the other sibling at Project Harmony saying his (paternal) grandmother hits him in the face when she gets mad - it didn't matter.

However, once Jennifer (the mom) informed ADAM COOPER that he was tape recorded lying, all of a sudden he disappeared from her case and a new case worker (MELANIE AUXIER - of Michael Belitz case notoriety) is put on it. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: THE SAME DHHS SUPERVISOR - CHARLINE DUNCAN - oversaw Adam Cooper and now Melanie Auxier. 

Our demand to know: "WHERE IS ADAM COOPER?" comes from recognizing a tactic used by the department of shuffling around caseworkers - either when they are actually caring about a family (and therefore taken off their case or let go), or when they are vulnerable to being called out for their abuses and potentially open to a lawsuit (as is the case with Adam Cooper's criminal negligence under the supervision of Charline Duncan and now others who are trying hard to cover up the department's culpability). 

We're planning to get T-shirts made that ask: "WHERE IS ADAM COOPER?"

Let us know: Would YOU wear one?

AN INTERESTING NOTE: THE DEPARTMENT HAS SINCE "UNFOUNDED" THE ALLEGATIONS OF ABUSE AGAINST THE PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER!!!! They would never hesitate removing children from their OWN NATURAL HOMES for less evidence than exists against this foster placement, and then prosecuting as a felony the obvious abuse. 

But when the department has the power to oversee itself, there is little worry about accountability to the public or these traumatized children and horrified parent.

WE NAME NAMES! THAT'S THE ONLY CURRENT WAY TO HOLD OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PUBLIC.

USE THIS FORUM TO ADD NAMES OF THOSE OFFICIALS IN THE SYSTEM WHO HAVE HARMED YOUR FAMILY, SO WE CAN ALL BE AWARE AND ADD THEIR NAMES TO THE WALL OF SHAME.
