Even though Missouri Law mandates that a party making a Hotline Call to the State shall be kept confidential, it is obviously NOT as obtained in this document from the 5th Circuit Missouri Children’s Division as it CLEARLY States in there records that Mrs. Cheryl Fountain was the Hotline Caller. It is mandatory this information is removed and was not and is a crime that it was not. Well maybe just a simple error but the 28th Circuit Children’s Division released the same information. And the 5th Circuit released another parties name, that we have documentation of that she made a previous Hot Line call. That will be presented in a separate story.
So the next time you go to pick up the phone to report Child Abuse whether legitimate or false, take in to consideration that your identity WILL be released to the accused/alleged perpetrator and that you are not protected and could face civil ramifications for your actions.
And for the State of Missouri to promise this protection to its citizens and then not follow through shows the reckless disregard by the executive branch and its legislature. As Governor Jay Nixon, Lt. Governor Peter Kinder Department of Social Services Director Ronald Levy have all been contacted in-regards to this, and no response at this time.
