Slam the Gavel welcomes Brenda Bryant to the podcast. Brenda is an advocate for special need and vulnerable adults and judicial reform. Brenda started advocating for her daughter who has an intellectual disability diagnosed at age two.     This began many years of advocacy from school to sports. The nightmare began when her daughter turned 18 years of age and at that time, Federal Government/State agencies began opening up "group homes," with 3 to 4 special needs clients to a home and receive the SS funds and Medicare Waiver. Her daughter had a caseworker with the State Dept. Six months prior to her 18th birthday, and asked Brenda if she would like her daughter into a group home. Brenda and her husband were confronted several times regarding this. However, when her daughter did turn 18, they went to her school with a three/four page contract and had her called out of her class and sign herself into State's care....She printed her name at a first grade reading level on a LEGAL DOCUMENT giving the state the right to make her medical decisions and to place her wherever they wanted her placed and this was in October of 1993.  Her daughter did not come home from school. The State Department had refused to tell Brenda where her daughter was and there was no DSS allegations. The state agency told Brenda that, "she is a legal adult and she is 18 and you have no say in her legal rights."    Brenda began to investigate and this podcast explains exactly what happened to Brenda's daughter and where the money went. Brenda remains hopeful and is close with God saying, "If you have the courage to begin, you have the courage to finish, finish well. Never ever, ever give up."To Reach Brenda Bryant:  dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com   Could you please sign and share the petition:  https://www.change.org/p/remove-judge-elizabeth-kelly-from-the-bench-permanentlyThis episode of Slam the Gavel is sponsored by CPSprotect Consulting Services.
