Gayla Smith, as it turns out the calls to DHS on Kelsey being abused were not false, now were they? DHS confirmed abuse on Kelsey with the perpetrator of that abuse being your daughter, Raye Dawn, not once but twice. After over 9 months of documented abuse, little Kelsey was beaten to death after being returned to the abusive home of her mother, Raye Dawn Smith, less than 4 mo. before she was murdered. Raye Dawn is now a convicted felon, in Mabel Bassett prison serving a 27 yr sentence for enabling child abuse. She deserved life.

I have been a foster parent for several years. I just went through an investigation and still do not have foster children back in my home. Due to a “cluttered” home. I wish the investigators that decide to make these decisions about our lives would live a day in our lives. I have only heard good things about Mr. Hendricks but, he is just a man. He can make mistakes and probably wishes now he would have taken his son to the hospital. A lot of the times we are judged by the perception of one person the investigator. It is all in the way you percieve things sometimes. I wonder if his stomach churned, or he had several sleepless nights wondering if someone was coming to get his kid’s? Will he get that findings letter? I hope it is not as nerve racking for him as it is the rest of us little people.

See what money can buy you, your children. This is no better than buying babies at black market.

Mr. Hendricks, how does it feelto be on the poor side of D.H.S. Why don’t you call your office and complain. After al, these are people you authorized to solve prblems that are your responsability and what our tax dollars are wasred on paying you for. I doubt you would have to wait 1 & a half year and still get no response. I would say welcome to our side of the world.However, I do not for seeyou going thru what our families, children and grandchildren have. See what money can buy you, children. It’s no better than buying babies from black market.

I first would like to know if the child was placed in protective custody? Thats what we see as normal in this type of case. However, I think as a dad he should have driven 45 miles, and gotten his son the medical treatment he needed. And in my opinion this is neglect!

I would also like to add that I know several people who say Howard is a good gut but, that is as close to a presidential pardon as you get, His child wan not taken away and nither was he made to take time out of his schedule to complete counciling. He should have hade to have this matter taken up in a different venue i.e.another state or federal court for him to be accused buy his peirs

An investigation now thats funny.They say what they want an do what they want with out even lookn at evedance of listening to the whole story an facts.these people need stopped.I also agree with the law being changed if some one gets mad at you they call cps an then even if there is nothing found an you are cleared its still on record people who call in should be held accountable for there actions.

Do you think they put Howard Hendrick through everything they put the rest of us through??? Also a top DHS worker which is a foster parent had a foster child backed over by a car (her husband driving). I know they were devestated but do you think they came in and took her foster children and her own children?? You know they didn’t. But if it had been us they would have taken all children until they did their so called investigation. Gayla Smith

Yes, I would like to ask Howard Hendrick how it feels to have accusations called in on him by an anonymous caller. This has happened to us many times by the other grandmother and a step mother. If I truly seen child a being abused I would not be afraid to leave my name. This law needs to be changed. To read our heart wrinching story go to freekelseysmom.com. Thank you Gayla Smith
