[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] In a petition obtained by KETV NewsWatch 7, a social worker contracted with the state notes adult relatives of the toddler repeatedly allowed known gang members into their home and full access to the minor children there, even after the state paid twice to help the family relocate due to fears of gang activity. The petition also noted that the toddler was one of five injured in October when someone fired shots through the front door of a home. In December, the toddler's grandmother, Kimberly Devers, was arrested on weapons charges. Police said a family gathering also included five firearms in the house where children were present. With Devers in jail, Kierra Johnson, 19, was left to care for the toddler and three other children. Two days before the video went viral on Facebook, authorities said Johnson went to a caseworker to report she was having trouble with a relative who originally posted the video. The evidence was apparently enough for state caseworkers to remove the children from the home. The supervising social worker noted Johnson has been provided family support, case management, community referrals and financial support. The supervisor argued -- due to the persistent and pervasive pattern of concerning behavior and gang-related affiliation -- it is an immediate and urgent necessity to remove the children from Johnson's care. The toddler and his 16-year-old mother, Ennisha Devers, are in state care, along with her 12- and 15-year-old siblings. Johnson's baby is also in protective custody. Ennisha Devers spoke exclusively with KETV NewsWatch 7’s Dave Roberts, saying she is a good mother and is not raising another gang member. Ennisha Devers said police came to the home because there was a history of gang violence there. “They didn't come because the video. They came because of the gang violence and everything that happened with us,” she said. “They weren't worried about the video because he had a clean diaper. The house was clean. Like they said, kids cuss.” The 16-year-old mother is not living with her son but gets to see him. She will find out Monday if she and her son can be placed in the same foster home. She hopes what people see online doesn’t haunt her family forever. “It hurts, it does,” she said. [/quote] I do not understand what the grounds are for removing the child from the home. Dressed in a diaper, swearing. Shots fired in October does not mean the kid is now in danger. firearms in the house is how every Honey Boo Boo in middle America is raised immediate and urgent necessity to remove the kids? Most foster homes are also in prime gang land areas[/quote]
