Officials take custody of kids who went to Oregon standoff

Published on May 5, 2016 2:17PM

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Seven children who were taken to perform for occupiers during the armed takeover of an Oregon wildlife refuge earlier this year have been placed in the temporary custody of Kansas child welfare officials.

Shawnee County Judge Steven Ebberts made the placement Wednesday after finding probable cause that the children of Odalis Sharp had been abused, The Kansas City Star reported.

“Any time I’m going to hear testimony that a child has been beaten to the point we have abrasions, broken skin and bleeding, that’s disturbing,” Ebberts said ...

“The federal government hates us right now, because my daughter is a primary witness of a murder they committed,” she said. “And so what do they do? They want the Sharp family out. And so they divide and conquer” ...

(KC Star) – Last Friday, as soon as their mother climbed in the shower, five Sharp children bolted down the driveway of their Auburn, Kan., home.

As they left, according to testimony in a Wednesday hearing, they took the guns out of a cubbyhole in the house and stashed them at the end of the drive. Then they got a ride from a neighbor to the Shawnee County sheriff’s office in Topeka ...

At the end of a 2 1/2 -hour hearing in Shawnee County District Court that included testimony about alleged beatings that brought the children’s father to tears, a judge found probable cause that allegations of physical and emotional abuse were true. He placed seven of the children into the temporary custody of the Kansas Department of Children and Families ...

3. Mom Oppressed By Big Government Just Because She Beat Her Kids

Meet Odalis Sharp, the latest victim of the massive government conspiracy to crush freedom and liberty in what used to be a Free America. If you believe the lying government kidnappers from the Kansas Department of Children and Families, seven of Sharp’s ten children were placed in temporary custody after a court hearing Wednesday determined there was probable cause that she had physically and emotionally abused them.

But Odalis Sharp knows better: She’s certain the government is taking revenge on her family because they traveled to Oregon in January to sing Gospel songs for the Bundy Militia Liberty Patriot Armed Gang of Bird Refuge Liberators. After that performance, her 17-year-old daughter Victoria joined the occupation, and was riding in the pickup LaVoy Finicum was driving when he tried to ram police and FBI agents at a roadblock, then jumped out and was shot after attempting to draw a gun. Or as Odalis Sharp puts it,

Now, if you believe the corrupt county government, they’d say Odalis Sharp was arrested Friday after she assaulted an officer sent to check on the safety of her children, although no charges have yet been filed against her in the assault. The children were placed in state custody Friday after five of them escaped the house while their mother took a shower. According to testimony in Wednesday’s hearing, the kids took a stash of guns out of the house and hid them at the end of the driveway, then asked a neighbor for a ride to the Shawnee County sheriff’s office in Topeka. When officers were sent to check the safety of the other children, Sharp kicked one of the officers and was arrested. We’re not sure how the corrupt tyrannical government convinced the kids to tell social workers they’d run from the home or that their mother had beaten them, but anyone who listens to InfoWars knows how sophisticated the government’s mind control techniques can be.

The Kansas City Star (probably run by the CIA, like all newspapers) presents this pack of lies about what supposedly happened ...

If someone won't let you see the kids arrest them right then and there, if they have guns wait until they leave and then catch them. what is wrong with the child welfare person and the sheriff's department?
