https://outlivethelie.org/ Dated developments in a documented decade-long child-welfare and civil-rights record in Oregon. en-us Tue, 21 Jul 2026 10:03:08 +0000 https://outlivethelie.org/updates.html tc-2026-07-16-21440 Thu, 16 Jul 2026 09:00:00 +0000 In her own words A public statement, on the record. On July 7, 2026, on a public Facebook profile, the mother in this case wrote — verbatim — “Imagine if there was a law that no one could buy a gun if they were behind on Child support. Food for thought.” It was posted during active licensing and civil-rights proceedings, beside a profile image of her holding a rifle. Read by itself, it is a throwaway line. Read against a decade in which pressure, threats, and proxies have tracked every attempt to bring this record into the light, it reads differently: a documented public message tying firearms to child support, aimed across an open case. I don’t have to characterize it. I only have to preserve it — screenshot, date, engagement count — and let it stand in the record beside everything else she has put in writing. https://outlivethelie.org/updates.html tc-2026-06-26-51603 Fri, 26 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000 The pattern Across nine years and four states, the child-welfare reports aimed at me have arrived on my children's milestone dates and closed without a single finding — while the only abuse-and-neglect dispositions ever entered in this family's history are against their mother. This month the pattern sharpened: multi-state licensing supplements are now before California's nursing and psychology boards and Oregon's, documenting that a licensed nurse had professional, documented notice of her own child's clinician-diagnosed trauma — and asking each board to weigh what she did after she knew. This is not the signature of a co-parenting disagreement. It is the signature of a documented, repeated failure to protect. https://outlivethelie.org/updates.html tc-2026-06-19-50467 Fri, 19 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000 The Evidence A public-records release is meant to be a neutral act: you ask, the agency produces the file. So read this one for what it does and does not contain. The 238-page release Oregon issued covering my case names, in full, the people who handled the 2022 reports — the ones that founded the children's mother for neglect and disposed every allegation against me as unfounded. The screeners are named: Amy Bunker, Darla Corey, Esther Alvidrez. The caseworker is named: Willow N. Wilde. The supervisors are named: Shanea Chenoweth, and the on-call supervisor logged as S. Jones. Their work is in the file because their work cleared me. Now turn to September 19, 2025 — the day a Josephine County finding issued against me, on my birthday. For that one, the same release produces no named worker and no case number at all. The caseworker who was mailed a certified binder of evidence and never acknowledged i https://outlivethelie.org/updates.html tc-2026-06-18-5759 Thu, 18 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000 The Pattern For ten years this was filed under the wrong heading. Call it a 'high-conflict custody case' and every event becomes background noise — a bitter ex, bad luck, paperwork that happened to go missing. Hold it to a single question instead: what if the 2016 poisoning I survived and reported is even plausibly true? Then nothing that followed is a custody dispute. It is the ordinary machinery of keeping a witness quiet. A man who survives a near-fatal poisoning, carries it to the head of the state's criminal investigators, and is met with a closed file — then spends the next decade absorbing false reports in every place he lives, including to federal agencies; watching records about his children's safety go missing or unreachable from the very offices obligated to keep them; and being treated as the suspect each time he moves to protect his kids — is not unlucky. He is being managed. The legal https://outlivethelie.org/updates.html tc-2026-06-14-92199 Sun, 14 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000 The Pattern The record crossed from a list of events into a structure no coincidence survives. Six convergence nodes — dates where independent threads collide — now anchor the timeline: October 12, 2016, the life-insurance applications placed in her own hand; December 8, 2016, the near-fatal ferritin reading on the same day records show a false drug narrative being circulated about me; late January 2017, my report to the head of the state's criminal investigators followed within a day by the targeted burglary; April 22, 2025, a false cross-state child-welfare report landing the same day a defense-sector job ended; April 7–9, 2026, a 1.1-million-view archive scrubbed within 72 hours of a state senator's contact; and April 22–23, 2026, the records release answered the next day by cross-state contact through a child proxy. A single suspicious act can be explained away; multiple independent, dated threa https://outlivethelie.org/updates.html tc-2026-06-10-61029 Wed, 10 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000 The Pattern There is a date in the State's own case file after which no one can claim ignorance. From 2022–2023, my eldest daughter's trauma-related disabilities were documented in writing by her treating therapist, inside the same case record her mother took part in. Her mother is a registered nurse — trained, licensed, and professionally obligated to understand what re-traumatization does. Now line that date against the record that followed: the false report the day before an 18th birthday; the harassment of her friends, her schools, her districts; the contact engineered onto her 19th birthday through a child proxy; the severing of siblings. I am not asking anyone to read minds. I am asking them to read a calendar — held against a license, a duty, and a diagnosis she knew about. A father should not have to publish a website to make that visible. But silence was the one thing I had left to lose, an https://outlivethelie.org/updates.html tc-2026-06-10-16582 Wed, 10 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000 The Evidence The insurance paper-trail is now complete, end to end, in the channel's own emails. September 15, 2016: an 'Application Received' confirmation — the first track, Protective Life. October 12 at 11:43 AM: from her own email account, Howell supplies the four children's heights and weights. December 1: the switch, in her own words — Banner would issue with 'no underwriting on any of the children,' at '$4 less than… Protective.' December 30 at 7:30 PM: the broker's finalization email — application documents prepared, a live e-application link, a unique session identifier — sent the evening before Cedars-Sinai referred my case to police on suspicion of poisoning. Every custodian in that chain — both insurers and the broker — is now under a litigation hold, with records demands served for the certified application files. The originals will settle the exact figures. https://outlivethelie.org/updates.html tc-2026-06-10-12783 Wed, 10 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000 Case development A record this size earns its credibility by grading itself before anyone else can. Ahead of the multi-state referrals — four FBI field offices, plus the state and local companions — every key fact was scored by evidentiary weight: primary, secondary, needs-certified-original. Where my own compilations had run ahead of the forensic record, I corrected them and formally requested the forensic re-examination that pins each quote to its source page. Four tracks are investigatable today: the Oregon predicate with no statute of limitations, the federal interstate-stalking count, the false report concerning a then-minor that sits in the receiving agency's own records, and the licensing-board track. The rest follow as the certified records land. That is not delay — that is how a record becomes unimpeachable. https://outlivethelie.org/updates.html tc-2026-06-09-64468 Tue, 09 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000 The Pattern This was never only my family. Oregon's child-welfare system is under a decade of federal oversight after the Wyatt B. v. Kotek settlement, and in December 2023 the state agreed to a record $40 million settlement with four foster children it failed to protect from abuse in a Keizer foster home. In 2025, more than twenty children known to the agency died — reversing years of decline — and a state senator's measure to force fatality investigations into 'suspected' abuse was vetoed. Oregon's self-insurance fund is straining under the payouts. Black children are removed into Oregon foster care at nearly twice their share of the state's children. My case is not an isolated domestic dispute. It is a documented microcosm of the exact failures the state is already paying millions to settle — which is precisely why it reaches past me. https://outlivethelie.org/updates.html tc-2026-06-08-68403 Mon, 08 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000 The Story For years the only version of me in that county was the one she wrote first. So I wrote mine — the whole of it, from the 2011 move to the reckoning now underway: the coerced reconciliation, the summer I started dying, the home emptied while I was hospitalized, the agencies that held the records and looked away, and the children I never stopped fighting for. It lives on The Story page. Names withheld, evidence anchored, nothing I can't stand behind. Read it, and the rest of this record will make sense. https://outlivethelie.org/updates.html tc-2026-06-08-93696 Mon, 08 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000 Case development The record is not only on paper. More than two hundred calls, conversations, and contemporaneous recordings spanning years have now been transcribed to searchable text and folded into the master timeline — alongside a document archive of tens of thousands of files. What was scattered across formats and years is now one searchable record. https://outlivethelie.org/updates.html tc-2026-06-08-1553 Mon, 08 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000 Case development The evidentiary record crossed from catalogued to filing-ready. All 1,113 exhibits are now Bates-stamped — TVH-000001 through TVH-001113 — and cross-linked to a 70-count accusation register, each count tied to its governing statutes and its supporting exhibits. The result reads in both directions: from any allegation to the documents that prove it, and from any document to the allegations it supports. The catalogue became a case file. https://outlivethelie.org/updates.html tc-2026-06-04-68456 Thu, 04 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000 Case development The federal track is now fully assembled, running on parallel rails. Criminal referrals stand prepared for the FBI's Portland and Honolulu field offices and for the United States Attorneys in both the District of Hawai'i and Medford, Oregon — the latter covering the entire twelve-year course of conduct, including the 2016 attempted-murder-by-poisoning predicate, which carries no statute of limitations under Oregon law. A civil-rights pattern complaint stands prepared for the Department of Justice, and a supplemental referral goes straight to the DOJ Civil Rights Division's Criminal Section under 18 U.S.C. §§ 242 and 1512: the coerced-recantation voicemail, hash-verified and chain-of-custody documented, paired with the state narrative that adopted it. Behind all of it, a federal § 1983 complaint — ten defendants, six counts — is drafted for the District of Oregon. A criminal referral on t https://outlivethelie.org/updates.html tc-2026-06-03-51213 Wed, 03 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000 Case development A new front opened. A disability-rights accommodation package — the Access Shield — was finalized for deployment to eleven public entities across Oregon, California, and Hawai'i: Oregon DHS, the Governor's Advocacy Office, the county sheriff, three Oregon circuit courts, California's CDSS and child-support agencies, LA County DCFS, and Hawai'i DHS. The principle is simple: every public entity carries an independent duty under ADA Title II and Section 504 to accommodate a documented disabled parent — and federal law requires each one to engage with the request. Silence, delay, or proceeding without engaging is itself the violation. Every accommodation requested is tied to a documented functional limitation — access, not advantage. From here, every entity's response — or failure to respond — goes on the record. https://outlivethelie.org/updates.html tc-2026-06-02-77285 Tue, 02 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000 Case development Three developments now anchor the civil-rights claim. First, the Oregon DHS caseworker who authored the March 2023 assessment dismissing my son's abuse disclosure as fabricated — closing the case on a child who had disclosed suicidal ideation — is now a NAMED defendant, sued in her individual capacity; her unfounded finding anchors the civil-rights claim's documented pattern of unequal treatment. Second, the 11.8-second coerced-recantation voicemail is now locked under a sworn federal declaration with a SHA-256 hash and an unbroken chain of custody, tying the audio recantation to the written narrative as a single coercive event in the same calendar month. Third, a formal records demand has issued to Oregon DHS for the file gaps its 238-page release left out. The record keeps growing — and so does the case. https://outlivethelie.org/updates.html tc-2026-06-01-69135 Mon, 01 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000 Launch A Thousand Cuts is assembled: the public account, the eight-pattern analysis, the 2016 poisoning track, and the secured evidence vault — 1,113 catalogued exhibits, 1,036 linked to source files. From here, every development gets logged in the open. The fight continues.
