Energy officials say people are receiving calls from scammers claiming to represent the “West Virginia Power Company” or other, legitimate power companies that operate in West Virginia. The callers offer to perform free in-home services, funded through federal grants, to make households more energy efficient. Scammers then ask for personal information, including the victim's full name and home address, which can be used to commit identity theft and other crimes. “If the caller cannot provide their company's West Virginia business license and details about the grant funding the project, it is likely a scam,” says Nicholas Preservati, director of the Office of Energy. “You should never give out personal information over the phone without first making sure the call is legitimate.” Read more: https://westvirginia.gov/office-of-energy-warns-about-new-phone-scam-targeting-homeowners/   Find these stories and more at wv.gov/daily304.

Model Jade Ramey has recently responded to claims made in a lawsuit alleging that she is a sex worker for music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs. The exclusive report unveils the ongoing legal battle surrounding Combs and his son, Christian Combs, in relation to sex trafficking allegations.Recently, a yacht steward filed a lawsuit against Combs and his 26-year-old son, accusing them of committing sex crimes. The yacht employee claimed that both Combs and his son were involved in the sexual assault.In a shocking turn of events, the man who committed sex crimes in Randolph County, previously wanted by authorities, has been apprehended in the United Kingdom. This news brings relief to the victims and serves as a reminder that justice will be served, no matter the distance.Adding to the legal woes surrounding Sean 'Diddy' Combs, he has been named as a co-defendant in another lawsuit that alleges a yacht sex assault by his son, Christian Combs. This incident allegedly took place while they were onboard a yacht in the Caribbean. The lawsuit comes amid an ongoing sex trafficking inquiry.The allegations against Christian Combs are not only concerning for his personal reputation, but they also come at a time when authorities have been investigating his father, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, for alleged involvement in sex trafficking. Last week, Homeland Security agents raided his homes as part of the investigation.With the spotlight on the Combs family, it remains to be seen how these lawsuits will progress and whether they will have any impact on the ongoing sex trafficking investigation. As victims come forward and seek justice, it is essential for the legal system to ensure a fair and thorough process.These cases highlight the pressing issue of sex trafficking, shedding light on a disturbing criminal activity that often remains hidden behind closed doors. The courage of those who come forward is commendable, and it serves as a reminder that everyone deserves justice and protection.As the legal battles continue to unfold, it is important to remember that these are allegations and that individuals should be given the opportunity to defend themselves in a court of law. The outcome of these cases will determine the fate of those involved and, more importantly, send a message about the accountability and standing against sex trafficking in our society.

  Slam the Gavel welcomes Rob and Jaime Jolicouer back to the podcast. Rob and Jaime were last on the podcast Season 4, Episode 12. They have been married for 18 years and have been providing a loving, stable home for their teens in North Carolina.     Their nightmare with DSS began in May/early June 2020 when Jaime reported a person who had been a family friend to Thomasville Police Department for inappropriate behavior with their then 16yr old daughter as well as the man's own step daughter (We will call him Mr. A). Naturally, they had to contact DSS Davidson County, where they had been living at the time.     However, they were questioned, given drug tests, and were told that their daughter would need to go in for an exam and questioning. Because of the relationship with the alleged perpetrator, they would not be able to accompany their daughter at all. It would have to be the DSS caseworker, Staci Gray, or her supervisor Kim Craver, who would take her.  NOTHING ever came of it, they simply NEVER showed up.      Their son who was 15 at the time, had always suffered from social anxiety. But after the shut downs, it became severe when he tried to go back to school. Jaime made a doctor's appointment for him, so they could get a referral to a psychiatrist.      The doctor never gave a referral.  He wanted their precious son to go to Moses Cone Mental Ward for an Emergency Mental Evaluation.     Naturally, their son who was too anxious to deal with a school environment, panicked at the idea of a hospital. He was in a full blown panic mode, so his parents refused to force him.      While waiting for a second opinion and the referral they had asked for in the first place. But when Randolph County, DSS showed up that is when their NIGHTMARE truly began. Over the last year and a half, Rob and Jaime have gained a true understanding of just how TWISTED and CORRUPT these MONSTERS truly are.      FALSIFIED urine drug tests, which Jaime proved were false, while describing how they perform a urine drug screen on parents (while re-traumatizing these victims), she herself would never believe this was happening. NOW she and Rob are LIVING in a nightmare that will not end.     Rob and Jaime discussed the latest in their case. Their two children are now in a foster home together and closer to home. But their children will never be the same. Their son, once a happy child is now bitter. Once CPS removes a child from their fit, loving parents, THEY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. This legalized child trafficking of their family has been so egregious that Jaime has missed out on helping her daughter pick out her prom dress; a MILESTONE, missed. NONE OF THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE. They are also being DENIED their own TRANSCRIPTS. Rob and Jaime stated to warn others that, "court appointed attorneys work FOR THE CITY." The taxpayer needs to know.To Reach Rob Jolicouer : Facebook Messenger Rob Jolic                                                        rljolicoeur725@yahoo.comThis episode of Slam the Gavel is sponsored by CPSprotect Consulting Services.

It would have to be the DSS caseworker, Staci Gray, or her supervisor Kim Craver, who would take her.  NOTHING ever came of it, they simply NEVER showed up.     Moving forward to September 2021. The family had moved to Randolph County, NC. After more than a year of COVID-19 shut downs, schools were officially opened all the way.     Their son who was 15 at the time, had always suffered from social anxiety. But after the shut downs, it became severe when he tried to go back to school. Jaime made a doctor's appointment for him, so they could get a referral to a psychiatrist.      The doctor never gave a referral.  He wanted their precious son to go to Moses Cone Mental Ward for an Emergency Mental Evaluation.     Naturally, their son who was too anxious to deal with a school environment, panicked at the idea of a hospital. He was in a full blown panic mode, so his parents refused to force him.      Jaime was in the process of switching his primary care doctor through their insurance, so they could get a second opinion and the referral they had asked for in the first place. But when Randolph County, DSS showed up that is when their NIGHTMARE truly began. Over the last year and a half, Rob and Jaime have gained a true understanding of just how TWISTED and CORRUPT these MONSTERS truly are.      From falsified drug tests, which Jaime can prove, to ignoring potential pedophiles while re-traumatizing the victims she would never believe it, if she and Rob weren't living it.     Much to learn on this podcast about the devastating affects CPS has when removing a child from loving, fit parents as written in the June 6th, 2018 letter to Trump when separating children from their parents at the border, "The American Academy of Pediatrics HAS CONDEMNED THESE POLICIES, saying that "highly stressful experiences, like family separation, can cause irreparable harm, disrupting a child's brain architecture and affecting his or her short-  and long-term health. This type of prolonged exposure to serious stress- known as toxic stress-can carry lifelong consequences for children." Yet CPS has no problem disrupting families on American soil.To Reach Rob Jolicouer : Facebook Messenger Rob Jolic                                                        rljolicoeur725@yahoo.comSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)http://www.dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com/Support the showSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)http://www.dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com/
