It doesn’t pay to be homeless less than minimum wage. I have a hard time writing a story. This is a true story what your about to read are facts.about Lenawee county taking a baby from his mother giving him to me with little assistance in fact they were still taking child support out of my unemployment checks when I was taking care of Gavin. I forgot to bring that up to Judge Laura shadier at my eviction hearing last year. She scolded me “Mr. Clark single woman raise children by themselves all the time.” I told her I know they do. I commend all single moms. It’s not easy. Then they took my dog and fabricated a crime against me. Judge shadier brought that up at my eviction hearing too. Barb Nelson the trailer park *!#$* told the judge she wanted to add two hundred dollars on what I owed because she hadn’t been charging rent for my dog. Mr. Clark judge Laura said. I took your dog from you your not suppose to have a dog. “Your wrong your honor that’s not why were here today” I replied “but since you did bring it up your honor let’s talk about the 911 call that this court fabricated against me”.that's right I foia requested a 911call I made as evidence in my defense and received edited audio. My computer shows 16 possible clips plus I have lieutenant Ewald recorded recognizing the authenticity of the 911 call.(who hits a sheriff deputy and don't get arrested for six days) It’s all recorded and in court documents. I was threatened with being held in contempt of court. Judge Laura now has to say something on the record. She made her ruling about my animal with the evidence she had been presented. The thing is they wouldn’t let me submit any evidence. I had two court appointed attorneys quit me. Erick Kaiser and john t glazier. I have a recorded 911 call edited by the Lenawee county sheriffs. I held a 15 month old baby while Deputy David borton smacked my hand in an attempt to knock my phone out. I can’t say that I’m told. The 911 call can’t be played in court. I am a communications major with a degree from the Specs Howard School of broadcast arts. I’ve worked in radio as a news director at Q95 country also a program director and morning show personality on mix 102.5. I’ve produced audio clips of my poetry on top of smashing pumpkins music and had the pieces featured at the pumpkins.net web page. I can prove everything I say. My dogs right at my feet right now. I’m trying to write a piece about being homeless. I’ve been homeless for over a year now. I live with my dad were not under a bridge I have considered moving into a homeless shelter. I work building and roofing. I take sparky to work with me. I just can’t seem to climb out of this hole. I ran into a woman at play land on east Michigan in Jackson named Penelope. I bet we spent four hours talking. Penelope is the one that got me to write this. “You are a humanitarian” Penelope said to me. “I can’t believe your even right in front of me.” “This is really you”. You have to write you she said and she asked me to write something for her. “You don’t know what it’s like to have brown skin” she said to me. That night I wrote “what colors racism?”Poems are pieces of anxiety love expectations and dreams. Being homeless is embarrassing. I published three kindle books in an attempt at my dreams. What drove me into homeless you’re not going to believe? While it was happening I questioned God. I’m doing the write thing here God. Why do I feel you’re not with me? I was already laid off and struggling when I received a call from Lance Cadmus from Lenawee county child protective services. He asked did I know a Christina Benton. Yes I told him. Well she has a baby three months old and we need to determine who the father is. After a few minutes I asked him if the baby was in some sort of danger he said no. I took a dna test. And Gavin Wayne Benton is my son. I’m not going to pretend she never told me she was pregnant. She would call me every month asking me for six hundred dollars so she could have an abortion. I wouldn’t give her the money. I wrote a poem inspired by this called “Pro Life”. I couldn’t figure out why she never came around if she was pregnant with my baby. I didn’t get to name him see her belly grow. But now that he’s I told her my life was a wreck but I would like to make a go at this together. She confessed she was living with her mom and life needed mended as well. I asked her to move in with me. She told me she would she also told me she developed a life threatening illness during her pregnancy and this required her to go to Jackson every day for blood work. Now I feel really bad I wasn’t there for her. I’ve heard woman can develop diabetes during pregnancy. It must have been hard on her. I went down to Morenci and picked them up and brought them home. First thing the next day I drove her to a house on Lansing Ave in Jackson. A line of people going into the house at eight in the morning. I’m a poor person it wasn’t hard to identify these people are poor zombies. After about a week I called chrissy out. This is not a hospital where am I bringing you? “It’s a methadone clinic.” She told me. What’s methadone? She told me she was taking oxy cotton during her pregnancy and she got put on methadone so she could stop. Now she’s addicted to the methadone and can’t stop taking it or she might die. There were days I couldn’t take her to the clinic child protective service would take her. Or she would have one of four different men take her. Friends that care more about her she told me. Well I don’t want any part of this. Gavin is mine let’s have a joint custody. I took chrissy back to her moms and Gavin stayed with me. I kept him for a week straight. I took him back to chrissys to drop him off to be with her for a week. She’s nodding out can’t stay awake house is a wreck cigarette burns in the carpet, tobacco all over the floor. I can’t leave him here. Look at her what’s wrong? It’s my medicine she told me. It’s not medicine I told her “It’s dope”. She lay on my couch sometimes I checked to see if she was still breathing. We have to get you off this stuff. “I’ll die” she told me. When it was my week to watch Gavin I took her home. She would drive by on her way to the clinic have one of these other guys that cared about her taking her up there. After about two months of that I called Courtney Villarreal from child protective services. I’m taking care of this baby I need some help. We have to leave the baby in chrissys name to pay for her medicine. And I’m still paying child support. Get them to quit taking my unemployment. You have to do that. I told Courtney you guys have this woman a wreck on this methadone. She told me that Christina had a court date next week and she thought I should be there. I took Christina there and before the hearing they gave me a piece of paper with all the allegations against her. Gavin tested positive for heroin when he was born was at the top of the list. There were 28 allegations against her. Failing drug test from the methadone clinic. I felt like I had been kicked right in the balls. I went to my church and sat with our pastoral coordinator. I would have never messed with this woman had I known she was a heroin addict. They took Gavin from his mom that day and gave him to me. They still kept his Medicaid in her name to pay for her medicine. In fact they were giving her gas money to drive to Jackson to pick it up 28.60 dollars a day. She never gave me anything for taking her. Wonder what she gave those other guys? They started making me bring Gavin to the department of human services for visits. They would use it to hold sobriety over her head. If she couldn’t pass a test she didn’t show up and Kathy Onsted told me I would have to reschedule. Christina is showing up to visits and she has needle holes on the tops of her feet and the back of her hands. I can’t see why this has to continue. I told Courtney Villarreal. S he assured me relapse was part of recovery and it was alright for chrissy to do heroin as long as she didn’t have the baby. She suggested to me that I needed substance abuse counseling so I could better understand Christina addictions. So I could understand her addictions? I’ve been driven homeless. Bullied by sheriffs Jack Welch, prosecutor castle bury, judge Laura shadier Child protective services and dhs.
Gavin’s on the cover of “will write for food”. Sparky wags are on the cover of “what colors humanity”. Were looking for about four good people who want to help us. Share this and buy a book please.
There’s still a bunch coming. Gavin wants to go to McDonalds. We’ll be back.
