PLEASE READ THIS PETITION AND SIGN IT BELOW USING THE FORM PROVIDED

To the New Hampshire House of Representatives;

We the undersigned, understand that there are systemic and personnel problems in the State of New Hampshire’s judicial system, particularly the Family Division of the Circuit Court (Family Court), and the Division for Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF),

We the undersigned, understand that the reasons for failures in due process and the ability of the state to protect children are multifaceted and complex,

We the undersigned, understand that it is the House of Representatives that is the grand inquest of the state,

We the undersigned, understand that prior attempts to investigate these matters by the House have not been thorough nor utilized the full authority and tools of the House granted by the People to redress grievances,

Now, therefore, we the undersigned hereby petition the New Hampshire House of Representatives to form a Special Investigative Committee, with full subpoena power, to thoroughly investigate Family Court, DCYF, and all entities related, and to use all the power vested in the House of Representative to redress the grievances resulting therefrom, up to and including legislative solutions to prevent future harm, and impeachment of employees and officers of the state, if necessary.
