I have a maor problem, here is the details, I hope you will have some answers for me.
Last Sunday, March 14th, My daughter and her children who live with me and
my husband in Council Bluffs and are residents of Iowa were in Blair, Ne. visiting her boyfriend for a cookout. With them were his cousin and his wife. They were drinking and the two men got into a fight. My daughter got in beeen them and stopped it. It lasted maybe about 5 minutes. No one got hurt, except the cousin broke the front door glass. When the cousin and his wife left, they called the police and said their was a domestic dispute going on at the home. The police
came and arrested my daughters boyfriend and took his two children to Social Services. Which a case worker came out to his aunts house and later that day his kids were given to the aunt.
My daughter and her children returned home. Three days later, on Wednesday the 17th, my daughter got a call and said Blair had warrent out for her arrest and she needed to turn herself in and she was to turn her kids over to DHS in Blair. If we didn't we'd be in trouble with the law. So my husband thinking we couldn't break the law took the kids to Blair and turned them over. They are residents of Iowa and go to school here, why would they have to go to Ne. to be in a system that is probably crowded. I didn't think that a state could do that. My husband and I want our grandchildren back. My granddaughter has ADHD and this is really putting her behind in school. I have called lawyers in Council Bluffs and in Nebraska to get help and no one returns my calls. My daughter was arrested for false charges of Child Abuse and tamepring with witnesses. The only witnesses were the children and she has never abused a child in her life. She just finished a temporary job with Headstart school here in town, she wouldn't have done that if she was a child abuser. On top of that, Blair won't have a judge in town until next Thursday, so she can't post bail. Heck Murderers can get out of jail in less than 24 hrs. but she can't. Nebraskas System is all wacked out. What can be done? This is not justice, and Nebraska has no right to those kids. I can't eat or sleep, I need some answers. What can I do to get these kids back? Please help me.

Steve King, simply put, is infatuated with the media. He's already a legend in his own mind.  And, like the slow, trouble-making unschooled boy he is, he knows he can't reason with intelligence because it requires…well…intelligence. So, he employs the same tactics dogs use when they feel…by golly…they're not getting enough attention. After all, as all dogs know, any attention — even for bad behavior — is better than nothing at all.

As a 5th District constituent and activist, I am both embarrassed and humiliated at the public disgrace this man has wrought upon our state and, yes, even our nation. Because of Steve King and his insatiable thirst for recognition, the world now sees Iowa as some hillbilly state with voters going to polls in overalls, tracking in manure and voting with one hand while picking straw from their teeth with the other.

As for King seeking the gubernatorial mansion, I say he should go for it! I'm certain his new employer would find him qualified enough to cut its lawn. And, with a good riding mower, he probably could even learn to spit his tobacco on the round trips where the wind didn't slap his chew back into his face.

Does he really think this is open dialogue?  Do you?

I think it's self-serving hot air, not worthy of free publicity in many cases.
