The Snarling Beast

The need to reorganize or perhaps even do away with the Department of Family and Protective Services Childcare Licensing is blatantly clear to anyone that has read this blog. One thing of which I have not previously mentioned in this blog is how Adrienne Driggers, the dreaded Southwest District Director of Childcare Licensing attempted to physically attack me while we were trying to obtain a permanent restraining order against her department at the courthouse in San Antonio. Were it not for our then attorney, Mark Braswell, who stepped in front of her we would have come to blows! 

The incident occurred after Adrienne Driggers had told me that her closing my daycare would not have occurred if I had just been "truthful" about who was truly operating my daycare claiming her belief that it was my wife Marla that was operating the daycare. Driggers had completely disregarded that not only did I have experience in operating a children's daycare but I also had a Bachelor's degree in Management from Texas A&M University. Driggers had also disregarded the fact that my wife, Marla, was only at the daycare to pick up the children from school at 3:00 pm and that she had documentation and witnesses to prove it. The daycare operated from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm. It would have been impossible for Marla to have operated the daycare but when it comes to the Texas Department of Family Protective Services Childcare Licensing Division, the truth doesn't matter and apparently neither does the safety and well-being of the children.

We can never forget the look on Adrienne Driggers face when she tried to attack me. It was that of a rabid animal. It was not until the trial of Casey Anthony, the woman who was found not guilty of murdering her child, that we saw that look again. This is the look of a woman who is given absolute power by the Department of Family and Protective Services Commissioner: John Specia, Jr. The astute person will have noticed that all of the Childcare Licensing Representatives that we have mentioned on this blog were women (so much for "motherly instincts"). The only male employees of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services that I have mentioned have been Paul Morris and John Specia, Jr. both of which are Adrienne Driggers superiors in their positions with DFPS. Both of which have proven to lack as we say in South Texas, the "cojones" to either terminate Adrienne Driggers or to stand up to her behavior. This is the look of the person that has  absolute power to affect the lives of tens of thousands of children in Texas. This is the look of the person that has abused her power to persecute us for several years. This is going to be the look of the person that we are going to put away.
