It is a common belief amongst Department of Family and Protective Services staff that their actions are free from prosecution. They believe themselves to have full immunity from prosecution simply because they work for a State Agency. Nothing could be further from the truth. During all those sleepless nights I pondered this question: Who can protect us and the families of Texas from a State Agency created to protect us and the families of Texas? The answer is the United States Department of Justice through Section 242 of Title 18 of the United States Code.
Section 242 of Title 18 deals with the Deprivation of Rights under Color of Law.
In short, Section 242 of Title 18 makes it a crime for a person acting under color of any law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States.
For the purpose of Section 242, acts under "color of law" include acts not only done by federal, state, or local officials within the their lawful authority, but also acts done beyond the bounds of that official's lawful authority, if the acts are done while the official is purporting to or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties.
Persons acting under color of law within the meaning of this statute include police officers, prisons guards and other law enforcement officials, as well as judges, care providers in public health facilities, and others who are acting as public officials. It is not necessary that the crime be motivated by animus toward the race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin of the victim.
However, this law does prohibit a person acting under color of law, statute, ordinance, regulation or custom to willfully subject or cause to be subjected any person to different punishments, pains, or penalties, than those prescribed for punishment of citizens on account of such person being an alien or by reason of his/her color or race. The offense is punishable by a range of imprisonment up to a life term, or the death penalty, depending upon the circumstances of the crime, and the resulting injury, if any.
After reading the various posts on this blog it is abundantly clear that Adrienne Driggers should be prosecuted by the Department of Justice under this law. The thing is that she is not alone as a number of State employees are guilty of abusing their power to target us and other individuals. This is why I make this statement very loudly: Adrienne Driggers, the District Director for Childcare Licensing, is a felon. It is a sad thing that we are doing the Texas Attorney General's Office job in bringing these crimes that she has committed against the Texas Attorney General's Office who is defending her! One thing is certain, Texas Department of Family and Protective Services employees had best behave themselves and work in an ethical manner. This blog is spreading. Daycare owners and the public will now know that these corrupt individuals can and should face imprisonment.
