Today in Parhump, three little boys were buried a few days after their house caught on fire and their mom was arrested. It seems like the Nye County Sheriff's Dept. has some explaining to do about their behavior and lies which border on the criminal.
First, the sheriff of Nye County said that the family had been refered to Children's Protective Services (CPS) and that was one of the reasons why the mother, Sharon Broadhead was arrested. But oops, apparently there was no CPS contact with the family. From the LVRJ: Child welfare workers have no record of the "pattern of neglect" that led Nye County sheriff's detectives to arrest a Pahrump woman who lost three children in a house fire last week.
Child Protective Services never had any contact with Sharon Broadhead before the Feb. 9 blaze, which killed her sons and a family friend, according to a fatality disclosure from the state Division of Child and Family Services.
The report, released Tuesday, says the agency provided no services nor made any referrals to family members before the deaths. http://www.lvrj.com/news/child-welfare-officials-saw-no-pattern-of-neglect-before-deadly-fire-116285639.html
And wait, there's more. Sharon Broadhead has not been charged yet. That's right, there are no charges in the case as of yet. So why was she in jail in the first place since she was not a flight risk nor a danger to the community? Can you say false imprisonment?
Further in the article: Had the grieving mother not been released from jail Monday, DeMeo said, he would have made arrangements for her to attend the funeral for her children.
"We're not heartless," the sheriff said. What utter crap. She should not have arrested in the first place and now the sheriff says after the fact that he would have let her out of jail for the funeral. BULL CRAP on the Sheriff!! He is a first class liar. If he wasn't heartless, than she should have been arrested after the funerals and grieving time but he jumped the gun on arresting her. The Sheriff was probably thinking that the public would support him and in reality, the public did not.
I'd call for an investigation of the sheriff in this matter but knowing Pahrump and how corrupt it is, that is not going to happen. So hopefully, when the Sheriff is up for re-election hopefully the electors of Nye County won't forget. I know I won't.
Merry Christmas!

I hope this keeps going through election time. That people realize how truly heartless the Sheriff is here and truly demeaning he can be when he stands up for himself over the lives of lost children. Arrogance is ignorance in this case.
ReplyDeleteEven though I don't live in Nye County, I will remember this Sheriff at election time, whenever it is. I respect law enforcement and give them the benefit of the doubt, but the Sheriff of Nye County has gone way beyond the benefit of the doubt. While I don't live in Nye County, I have gone through the County many times and love the County, so I will remember the Sheriff at election time.
