I've made complaints with the Attorney General,DOJ civil rights,DHHS,County Commissioners,DCF.I was reverted back to DHHS,now this as I understand it is this is the main entity to CPS & DCF and entities,so how can I expect to get a fair investigation or judicial review of their own misconduct of Constitutional and civil rights laws? To police themselves,I don't understand how I could be treated fairly.In Polk Co.,Fl.
A:
If you're dealing with violations of civil rights or due process, it can indeed be frustrating if you feel the entities supposed to help are not addressing your concerns adequately. It's important to remember that there are multiple avenues for complaints and advocacy, though navigating them can be complex.
Firstly, since you have already approached local and federal agencies like the Attorney General, DOJ Civil Rights, and DHHS without satisfactory responses, consider seeking help from a civil rights attorney. Legal professionals can offer guidance specific to your situation and may be able to represent your interests more effectively. They can also help in filing a lawsuit if that is deemed necessary. Furthermore, non-profit organizations dedicated to civil rights might provide additional support and resources.
Lastly, engaging with local advocacy groups or community organizations can amplify your voice. These groups often have experience dealing with similar issues and can offer guidance or intervene on your behalf. Remember, while it can feel isolating to deal with such challenges, there are people and organizations out there dedicated to upholding civil rights and ensuring due process is respected.
