My tragic story begions in the small town of Hunter,ND, 
 where there lives a senile old 
woman who got upset with my cat and called social services 
and told them I deprived and neglected my children.
 My children were at the time..16...13...11...8..6...3.  
Upon a 
visit from social services it was indeed determined that 
I HAD NOT left them "unattended".  
 But at the end of the conversation, my spiritual path 
came up.  This social worker said to me..and I quote...
" I dont like the fact that you are 
a witch and I will do everything I can to 'save' 
your kids..no matter what it takes!
Even if I have to lie to do it!" 
She said this and I have a witness...(We WILL be
pressing charges against her when this is done) 
Well it took her a few years, but alas, with 6 kids and 
usually a single Mom, when people got mad at me or were 
prejudiced they seem to make a bee line for social 
services...for they know that thru my kids is the only way 
to hurt me!  Well, so she( the worker) 
had several  "reports" They opened a file on me. 
they were claiming that I had left my 
kids alone alot and never fed them properly.  
My kids are and were old enough for years 
to be "self-contained"  no sitters needed or wanted.
Keeping my kids "safely" one step ahead, they had a "breakthru" 
 We messed up bad.  
I had a landlord, Dennis Pfau,
 who did something rude to my youngest, 
who was 5 at the time.  He grabbed her butt 
so hard she had marks on her.  We were already set 
to move to PA to be near the 2 youngest girls Dad. 
Well we decided to get out of the house 
sooner to prevent any further assaults upon my 
5 yr old.  Well  we were very mad at 
this creep so we "trashed" the house...
we didnt at all clean it ..as a matter of fact we 
purposely left extra debris in the house...
.we are guilty of vandalism...not 
deprivation..my kids NEVER lived like that..
even that social worker knew that, for she was 
there several times in the months just prior to that!!!! 
 Well this creep Dennis took a 
video of the place and swore we lived like that...so...
of course that was what the 
social worker needed...she got a court order and stole 
my girls from school...that was 
over a 2 years ago...over this last 2 years...
my daughters and I have been  severely emotionally 
abused not only by the separation, but by the system,
 at the direction and liablous 
actions of this social worker and the 
States attorney's office...
not to mention 
PHYSICALLY abusing my oldest daughter....
she was going to a home accross the State...a 
9 hr drive...her "crime"??? Being an "unruly" kid...
so how bad is that "crime"??  Is it bad 
enough to HANDCUFF A 15 yr old petite kid in the back 
of a hot copcar...for 9 hrs.....to 
the effect of leaving marks on her wrists???? 
Under the workers orders of course.
We still didnt have a court date set to go to court 
"for all the marbles".  Incidently....its the 
court trial that was originally set for 
August 2000..yes...2000!!...
but with all their sneaky 
tricks..unpreparedness..
and the incompetance of BOTH the Cass County Social Services 
and the States Attorney...we didnt go to
court until Aug, 2001...we had to wait until October to
find out WE WON, but the states attorney pulled a 
dirty trick and took (only her side of the) evidence
to a district Judge next door and got a stay on our win.
   There is no rhyme or reason to the actions of this 
Social Worker save 
bigotry and prejudice.  
The tragedy is that the judicial referees were gullible 
to her lies, at first ..not to mention over looking purguries 
and the utter lack of investigative efforts...
(They were given a list of 30+ people in the beginning
of this, people who frequented my home, to
contact for their "investigation" and NOT ONE was
contacted.....NOT ONE!!!)
This leads to a case chock full of purguries, incompetance, 
liablous actions, Emotional and PHYSICAL child abuse..   
The lies and injustice that has been cast upon my 
family has shattered 
SEVEN hearts...and no-one cares!!!   
My 6 kids and I are VERY close...and the suffering 
that that social worker has caused us to endure will scar
 us all forever.
       This,dear people is but a summary,  
theres soooo  much more to this case...court 
transcripts alone will prove the purguries and the liable..
if there are any attorney's out 
there who are interested in joining the "team"  
are encouraged to contact:

(Page Updated...)
  
We have a court date...August 15th,2001.......

August 17th, 2001 This is the update to my page....
The testimonies are thru. The attorneys are going to 
submit their final agruments in writing. And to do so, 
the referee gave them until September 10th, 2001. 
I want to express from my daughters and myself our 
most heartfelt thanks to those who came to testify on 
our behalf. 
Our gratitude is immeasurable!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Brightest blessings upon you all!!!!!! 
But my greatest pride was when I saw 
the incredible 
Strength and Courage displayed by my daughters. 
Testifying is bad enough, 
but when its YOUR own life, 
it is worse. But they did it!!! 
I am so proud of them!! 
Diedre had requested , however, 
to remain in the court room, 
but was refused. 
They also refused to let Shawna 
testify as per her request...
she must have been crushed. 
All prayers and candles are greatly appreciated.!
those of you who have done that......
we felt it...
the courage and love coming from a whole 
lot of different angles 
and energies...THANK YOU!!!!!! 
Its almost over......
its up to one woman to browse thru the evidence 
she saw and heard, and make a determination
pray she sees how we love each other 
and how re-unification would be 
nothing but beneficial to my girls.

Note to those who didnt testify....
We appreciate the fact that you were patient
thru all the delays...
and we appreciate your offer to testify...
some of you backed out on your own...
some of you simply werent asked again 
due to several reasons...
but my attorney felt that having 
25 people say the same thing would be 
redundant so the few who did were of the best 
nature and seemed to have more impact.  
There are a couple of you who would have 
made even more, but I understand your 
reasons for not being here.

Blessed Be!

 >>>>>>September 12, 2001<<<<<< 
Well The time has come for another update.... 
I have no words for what I feel right now. 
I am hopeful about our re-unification for my Attorney's 
brief is spectacular. It is well written with feeling 
and it is most appreciated. But as I have hope, I have 
sadness and fear. I have 2 children within the triangle 
of terror, and My Daddy lives very near our nations 
capitol.... I am praying it is over, but I feel, in 
my opinion, this country is going to war and that 
frightens and saddens me.
 
#######SEPTEMBER 30th, 2001####### 
I am not sure how to word this update... 
It should be over now... because today is Sunday.... 
September 30th, 2001 and the court order that says 
they have full custody of my kids expires today...... 
and yet there has been no hearing to extend it..... 
and no decision yet either. So... as of midnight...
uh....doesnt custody revert back to me without a 
court order saying otherwise?? So....uh...maybe 
they should turn over the kids tomorrow?? 
Or maybe a decision should be granted to do so?? 
But still we wait.......................................

October 1st Monday...
we are told that a little hearing was held on friday 
without us to extend the custody order until a decision 
has been made.  Well, I for one think they didnt want 
my lawyer there because he would have put up too good 
of an argument for extension!!!
So still we wait!
***OCTOBER 15th 2001***
 WE WON!!!!!! :::jumping for extreme joy:::
The truth has finally prevailed!!!! 
On Thursday October 18th they are to turn 
over my daughters by 5 pm. for their custody 
has been terminated!!! I will write more about 
this but is there really much more to say besides....
Thank-You Charles....and Blessed Be to you and all 
who prayed for justice!!!!!!
I want to make comment here....We really won.....
I mean with no special "conditions" that CCSS had 
hoped for...they wanted to maintain some "hand" in 
my family and the Referee cut that off at the pass........
there are no conditions to our victory.....
simply put in the Referees words....

"The full custody of Diedre Quintana, Danielle Manzanares 
and Shawna Sharp is to be returned to Simi Sharp by 
5pm October 18th,2001
signed............"
 
But much has happened since then....
and we are still NOT Re-United.....
they appealled and won that,
**shakes head** and by the looks of the "brief"
from this District Judge it is OBVIOUS (even to an idiot) that
she didnt look at nor bother to consider OUR evidence or testimony
for NONE of is is mentioned and the only "quote"
of MY testimony is a mere sentence from a paragraph,
and taken out of context to sound like something other
than what was actually said..
 so now we are going to the Supreme court!!
We will NEVER give up!!!



    Thank-you all for listening!  Bright Blessings upon 
you and yours,
Most Sincerely,
Simi Sharp
