Nabeel Basit Final Draft—PPP&L Journal Alford v. Greene—How an Unreasonable Seizure Led To an Unreasonable Interview I. Introduction Alford v. Greene dealt with the unconstitutional seizure of a young girl. In Alford v. Greene and Greene v. Camreta (which was consolidated into Alford v. Greene), caseworker Greene and Deputy Sheriff Alford seized a young girl and interrogated her in a private office at her elementary school for two hours. This was done without a warrant, probable cause, or parental consent, because they suspected the mother's husband may have been sexually molesting the girl and her sister. Deputy Alford had a visible firearm during the interview.
Early life Bell's mother Betty (née McCrickett) was a prostitute who was often absent from the family home, travelling to Glasgow to work. Mary (nicknamed May)[1] was her first child, born when Betty was 17 years old. It is not known who Mary's biological father was; for most of her life she believed it to be Billy Bell, a habitual criminal later arrested for armed robbery who had married Betty some time after Mary was born. Independent accounts from family members strongly suggest that Betty had more than once attempted to kill Mary and make her death look accidental during the first few years of her life. [2][page needed] Mary herself says she was subjected to repeated sexual abuse, her mother forcing her from the age of four to engage in sexual acts with men.
Izzy Dix’s Suicide Izzy Dix, a 14-year old girl, was found hung by her mum on September 17th 2013, after suffering months of being bullied by those she considered her friends. The bullying happened all around her; at school, online even away from either. Ask.fm was one of the main sites where Izzy was cyber-bullied, and has, as a result, pledged a request that the site is banned – to this date the petition has received over 8,000 signatures. Her mum, Gabbi, rang her school in Brixham at least 15 times. The last time she contacted the school was the day before her daughter took her own life.
Andrea also was hospitalized for trying to kill herself with a knife in July of 1999, then in the spring of 2001 she was admitted twice to a treatment center for mental illness. But then in June 4, 2001 Andrea’s psychiatrist discontinues her medications, and on June 20, 2001 Andrea drowns her five children. On July 31, 2001 a Houston grand jury indicted Andrea Yates for capital murder in the cases of Noah, John and Mary. Since she had killed someone that was under the age of six years old and kill more than one person she was eligible for the death penalty. Andrea Yates attorneys filed for an insanity defense.
Her death shook the nation. Patsy Ramsey (Jonbenet's mother) discovered her young daughter was missing when she found a two and half page ransom note demanding $118,000.00 if they ever wanted to see their daughter alive again. The note also stated that the Ramsey's were to not contact the police. Patsy defied the instructions and contacted the police and family members. The police arrived and conducted a search which started at the house.
Errors in the Investigation of JonBenet Ramsey’s Death In the early morning hours of December 26, 1996 JonBenet Patricia Ramsey was murdered at her family’s home in Boulder, Colorado. At approximately 5:52am, her mother, Patsy, calls police declaring that her daughter had been kidnapped and that she had found a ransom note on the back staircase in the kitchen of the home. Police officers arrived at the home at 6:00am and conduct a search of the premises. JonBenet is not found at this time. The ransom note found by Patsy Ramsey is read and indicates that JonBenet’s father, John, and mother Patsy must pay $118,000 by 10 am the next morning to ensure JonBenet’s safe return.
The report made 58 recommendations for how to bring about a "step change" in protecting children from harm. His first investigation into child protection in this country was prompted by the tragic death of Victoria Climbie. She died in February 2000 of malnutrition and hypothermia, having suffered horrific abuse at the hands of her great-aunt and the aunt's boyfriend. It was Lord Laming's first brush with Haringey Council in north London, which he severely criticised for failing to protect the eight-year-old years before investigating the same council's failure to protect Baby P. Victoria was sent to Europe from the Ivory Coast by her parents in the hope that she would receive a better education. But she was starved, beaten with coat hangers and bicycle chains, bound naked and kept prisoner in a freezing bathroom in a squalid inner-city flat in London.
Grant, Jr., sexually assaulted a 33-year-old woman on a Virginia beach one Tuesday in 1991. The assault was videotaped by a tourist who (not having a permit to carry a concealed handgun for protection) apparently could do nothing to help except record the crime. The following day, Wednesday, Charles Grant raped a 12-year-old girl. News broadcasts of the videotape of Grant's Tuesday assault frightened many people in the nearby Nags Head community. A young woman named Sonya Miller had wanted a handgun for a while, and on that Wednesday, her father bought her a .38 Special revolver.
He and others like Gabrielle Giffords are even bringing the parents of the children who were lost in Sandy Hook to make tearful pleas to pass the amendment. Gabrielle Giffords is yet another example that proves my theory. She was shot in the head by Jared Lee Loughner in 2011 in the middle of a constituent meeting she held. Loughner was expelled from college for disruptive behavior and was showing many signs of mental distress prior to the shooting. So much so that his parents disabled his car at night and took his shot gun away from him.
For five years this girl held this secret because of the uncle threatening her family. This secret began to affect her behavior at home, to the point where her mother could no longer deal with her behavior. Her mom is taking her to a detention center; but before they get to the center her mother asks her again “what is wrong; did someone touch you or hurt you?” Amanda begins sobbing and told her mother what had happen five years ago about her uncle raping her. In 2003 Amanda’s mother, Kim calmly brings her daughter home, then drives to where the uncle worked and called him out into the parking lot. Kim is hoping he will deny the accusations, but instead he laughed at her asking “what are you going to do about it”.
