Urgent — Requesting Help & Oversight: Kent County / Allegan County Misconduct (I have records)

I am posting to ask for help and to notify the public: I am requesting federal oversight and protection for my family due to what I believe are retaliatory and unlawful actions by actors in Kent and Allegan Counties, Michigan. I allege the following, and I have over 350 pages of records to back these claims (police reports, CPS reports, Friend of the Court records, probate filings, Railside Assisted Living bills, medical appointment records, and DHS records). • After my ex-son-in-law was ordered to pay child support, he allegedly made false abuse claims against his ex-wife and her father to avoid financial obligations. Despite prior abuse concerns, two of my grandchildren were placed into partial custody with that father.

• I allege exculpatory evidence was withheld/excluded in the criminal case against the grandfather, who remains incarcerated. I have a police report indicating alleged coaching by the accuser’s parent. • Allegan County CPS pursued an allegation against me that I “smelled of alcohol” at a granddaughter’s appointment — but I have proof the appointment was canceled. The medical office marked it as a no-show. I believe this was retaliatory. • Kent County is pursuing embezzlement charges against me even though DHS/Allegan records show my sister-in-law paid bills and the mortgage to protect my granddaughter. • My sister-in-law, Diann Shuck, was blocked from discharge at Railside Assisted Living and declared incapacitated in Probate Court on August 14, 2025, without notice or ability to defend herself. She has lost access to decades of savings, and family members are being displaced from property she owns. I am requesting immediate federal review and an independent investigation. I will provide copies of my records to authorized investigators. If anyone has experience with federal civil-rights complaint processes, DOJ intake, or can point me to contacts for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Civil Rights Division, Office of Inspector General, or a Congressional staffer who will accept documents, please message me. I am sharing this because I am afraid for my family’s safety and want this documented publicly so that there is a record.

(If you want to share documents with me privately for context, please message — but I will only share evidence with authorized...

First jury summons, was a very smooth and quick process - way better than I expected. Everyone was very nice that I interacted with and very helpful as well. Did not get chosen to go up for selection but actually kind of wanted to, once I was there. Hope this...

Absolutely terrible experience here. Would be better off implementing some sort of robot system, the people working here have zero empathy towards others. They are clearly miserable, why stay at a job you hate, if only to pass on your...
