🚨 536 Days Since My Children Were Kidnapped — DOJ Inspector General Refuses to Investigate

It has now been 536 days since my children were kidnapped from a legal parent.
And today, I’m sharing a response that should outrage every parent in this country.
I received a formal letter from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the Inspector General stating that the issues I raised “do not warrant an investigation.”
Let that be clear.
According to this division of the DOJ, the following do not warrant investigation:
Children being kidnapped from a legal parent
Judges acting without accountability
Guardians ad litem ignoring documented child trauma
Social services refusing to intervene
Federally funded advocacy organizations taking sides without verifying facts
State actors enabling prolonged separation after allegations were proven false
This is not an allegation.
This is the DOJ Inspector General’s position.
Read the letter for yourself:
🔥 What This Decision Really Says
By declining to investigate, this DOJ office has effectively said:
The kidnapping of children through state systems is not a priority.
The violation of parental rights by government actors is not a priority.
The suffering of children—documented, recorded, and ignored—is not a priority.
This is not justice.
This is institutional indifference.
This is only the first response from six DOJ divisions I have contacted, so there is still hope from the others.
📬 THE DOJ INVITED MORE INFORMATION — SO LET’S GIVE IT TO THEM
Here is the part they likely did not expect.
In the same letter, the DOJ Inspector General stated:
“Of course, if you have new information… please feel free to submit that information to us.”
So here’s my response:
We will. Together.
If the DOJ won’t investigate based on one parent’s evidence, then thousands of parents must force them to confront this crisis.

📊 A Brutal Reality Check
So far:
4,800+ people have viewed this petition
269 people have signed
14 promoters have brought in 78 signatures
I am grateful for every signature, every comment, and every shared story. Many of you have lived this nightmare yourselves.
But the numbers also expose a painful truth:
👉 Public apathy mirrors government apathy.
If only a fraction of people who read this are willing to act, why would the DOJ or legislators feel pressure to investigate?
Silence protects this system.
🧠 Why This Matters Beyond My Family
This is not just about my children.
My federal civil-rights case—Alvar v. State of Minnesota—names 27 defendants, including judges, agencies, and publicly funded organizations. It documents how children can be kidnapped from a legal parent without due process, and how every safeguard is ignored once the system decides not to intervene.
If this can happen with recordings, police reports, sworn testimony, and court findings proving a parent is fit…
👉 What happens to families with no evidence at all?
This is how a nation normalizes child kidnapping through bureaucracy.
✍️ If You’re Angry — Prove It With Action
If you believe:
Child kidnapping should be investigated
Government actors should be accountable
Children should not suffer in silence
Parents should not lose their children without due process
Then please do all three:

Public pressure is the only thing that forces action.
🔴 This Fight Is Not Ending
It has been 536 days since my children were kidnapped.
I will not stop.
I will not soften the language.
I will not accept silence as an answer.
If the DOJ and our state governments refuse to act, then we will expose their refusal—together.
This fight is for my children.
And it’s for every family who has been told their suffering isn’t worth investigating.
🔁 Join the Fight for Reform
I have filed a federal civil rights lawsuit challenging systemic misconduct by judges, attorneys, and state agencies that has stripped parents of their rights and traumatized countless children.
With 27 defendants, including the State of Minnesota, this case seeks accountability — and reform.
Join me in taking this mission national.

Across the country, I’ve heard from parents who’ve lost everything—some haven’t seen their children in years. When the system designed to protect families becomes the weapon that destroys them, it’s time for change. We must fix this broken family court system. Until that day, I’ll keep fighting—for our children, for truth, and for justice.
"536 days since my children were kidnapped. This isn't over."
