excerpts
From the
Daily Oklahoman

“LICENSE TO
HURT”
The
Oklahoman’s Nolan Lay and Randy Ellis reported Sunday that Paul
Stephen Hull pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting one of
Hull’s foster sons. A report shows
DHS workers knew about problems at Hull’s home but didn’t remove the
man’s foster parent status.
…Federal funds paid for the DHS bonuses. State funds paid for
Hull to keep his victim under his
care.
I have no way of knowing,
Elan, whether or not you are being molested in any way. As for physical abuse,
Mikah McCray knows of the facial bruising as she watched me take
the photographs of them.
I asked about them but received no response. Not even a flimsy
explanation. After
viewing them as published on the web I note that they don’t show
all that much.
Therefore I will have kept for you the originals that are
clear evidence you have been subjected to an ‘unknown’ force of
violence while under the jurisdiction of DHS’s Mikah McCray.
The most recent
photograph, taken April 25th, shows no fresh
bruising. Perhaps the
most recent foster parent change remedied the problem. I was able
to get a hint of a smile from you when I laid on the floor and
held you over my head for the photo. You still have the
“clinched fist” symptom.
You cannot be the happy baby you were with me when you are
confined to strangers that do what they do for money and are told
“Don’t get attached.”
Judge, please let me restore Elan’s demeanor and security as it
was. Let me restore
his natural smile.
You can give him back.

is always happy." [ Case worker Donna Pace in her ISP
filed July 9, 2007 ]

I visited you today,
Elan, as it is our scheduled one hour weakly quality time
together…under the watchful eyes of Mikah McCray and her boss, A.
J. Campbell in their ‘jail cell’ setting.
I was happy to see that
there were no new healing bruises such as I photographed the
4th and 18th of this month. Perhaps this means you
were removed from the violence that caused the bruises. Where they were located on
your temples certainly is consistent with Child Abuse.
I hope to see no more
inflicted bruises on you in the future.
I was searched, as usual,
upon entry into the building, by a police officer that made the
trip from the police station solely for that purpose. A.J. Campbell was present
and I asked him who it was that was afraid of me; he stated it was
himself.
“You’re twice my size and
half my age; you’re afraid of a 70 year old chronic care heart
patient!” and shook my head in mockery at the ‘joke’ that really
isn’t all that funny.
Perhaps he feels his paranoia is justified…typical of those
who are in the wrong and know it. He may have read Dian
Fossey’s statement in her book “Gorillas In The Mist” that “the
most dangerous place in the world is between a mother and her
baby” with the cognition that I am not only your father, but your
mother as well. Ripe
conditions for the infection of paranoia to develop in your
captors.
I am still not allowed to
bring you any fresh fruit to snack on; the wants of your paid
foster wardens take priority over a father feeding his only
child.
When I photographed
you above my head A. J. Campbell said what I was doing was going
to give him a heart attack. I asked him what harm could come
of what I was doing?
He told me of a
grandfather he knew who was doing what I was doing, with his
grandson, and the child hit his head on a ceiling fan and caused a
loss of balance and the child fell to the floor and died.
I have compassion for the
grandfather and other surviving members as they all are suffering
the loss. I know the
loss they are suffering because I have lost three.
I cannot, my son, raise
you in a bubble but I can and will do what I can to prevent such
stupid accidents from happening to you…and I wondered why the
grandfather was not charged with any crime because of the fatal
accident. Perhaps it
is because he is a friend of Mr. Campbell?
I wonder, too, if the
grandchild had not died but was only injured, would Mikah McCray
been sanctioned by Mr. Campbell to take the child away from his
home?
I asked straight forward
“What will it take for you to realize the mistake you have made by
stealing my son for five months now over such a minor accidental
injury that was unforeseeable and would never happen again that
had healed completely in less than five days? How much longer are you
going to perpetuate this charade?”
Dead silence. Mikah McCray did later
answer that the next court date is in July. Two months away. You will be over a year
old.
There is no fan, by the way, ceiling or
otherwise, in the tiny "visiting cell." It gets quite
hot.
I met a little old man
while I was in prison before the Court of Criminal Appeals
reversed my conviction and ordered me released. His name is, or was, as he
may be dead by now, Leroy Hayes. He comes up for parole
when he is about 150 years old. He bought and sold
children. Bought them
from various sources in other countries and brought them into the
States for sale to the highest bidder. They were all
orphans. Leroy did
not take the children he bought from living parents. There were no parents left
behind to suffer.
Leroy also played no part in the deaths of the
parents. He was not a
DHS worker like Mikah McCray. He did not have a license
and protection from immunity like Mikah McCray. From my point of view,
that is the only difference I see; he did not make a single
parent suffer because they were already dead. That would have made him
even worse than what he was.
I know, because I am still alive. I think Leroy got a rather
harsh sentence considering the fact that unlike DHS’ Mikah McCray
he did not set out to torment and destroy a single
family.
