Re: Hallie Henderson 39J010400081
This is a Missouri CPS court case.
Would you please help us with this personal problem. We need all the signatures we can get to try to get my granddaughter Hallie back in our custody.
About 16 months ago my daughter Charity abused her daughter Hallie. Charity called me early one morning to say if I wanted to see Hallie alive again, I had better come get her. Charity stated that she had just picked Hallie up by the hair of her head and thrown Hallie against the wall in her apartment. Therefore, I woke Barbara and sent her to get Hallie when Barbara returned with Hallie the baby was saying owe and was visibly bruising up between her eyes down her chest. Barbara and I thought it best to take her to the Emergency room. We did that and social services took her and put her in foster care. They have consistently told us that we would get Hallie back in our custody since her mother Charity was not cooperating with the court in getting off drugs and staying in therapy for her problems. Barbara and I were told by social services that we had passed all the requirements fingerprints, physicals, background checks, and home studies all passed. They told us to get a double bed to put in My daughter Teas room so Hallie could share with Tea. We needed to get a dresser, Have fire alarms installed, and to practice a fire escape plan with Tea and Jarid. We did all that they asked us to do. Her holiday gifts are on the mantle in our living room along with the other childrens gifts, we were so sure she would be here with us. Thursday I went to court fully expecting to bring Hallie home with us. They blind sided us told us Hallie is being adopted by the foster family and we will never see her again. This is important to us I think it would help if we could get signatures.
Yours faithfully Andrew Duga, Pamela Duga and Barbara Phillips
