It has been almost 2 months since itinerant missionaries Christian
and Danielle Holm’s newborn baby was ripped from his mother’s breast in
an Alabama hospital by the Department of Human Resources (DHR). Social
workers called in hospital security, police, and a sheriff’s detective
after the couple declined a social security card and birth certificate
for their baby. There was a case of mistaken identity, but that was
easily and quickly demonstrated to be false. There was no abuse and no
neglect, but that didn’t stop DHR from seizing the 1 day old infant from
his parents, allegedly without a warrant, court order, or emergency
circumstances.
Their baby is reportedly still in foster care.
Now, the FBI is allegedly stepping in. A source close to the family, who asked not to be identified, told
Health Impact News that Wednesday, December 7, was:
A monumental day for the Holms family! The FBI has
officially opened their case and are in the beginning stages of
gathering evidence against DHR and all parties involved in the
kidnapping of baby Holm. The main factors in the case are civil rights
violations, religious persecution, and charges of operating under color
of law! It seems as though some light may be shone on the corruption of
all parties involved in the unjust kidnapping of baby Holm barely 24 hrs
after birth!
According to the
FBI website,
the mission of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, established in
1909, includes upholding and enforcing the criminal laws of the United
States. There are 10 major priorities of the agency, and the kidnapping
of the Holm’s baby involves three of these priorities:
- Combat public corruption at all levels;
- Protect civil rights;
- Combat major white-collar crime
Unconstitutional Gag Order, Sources Fear Retaliation
Since a gag order was placed upon Christian and Danielle Holm
demanding that they not speak to the media about their case, multiple
sources who are supporting the couple have contacted
Health Impact News to report the injustice that they say is happening in the case, which was originally reported by the
Anniston Star.
See their original story published on MedicalKidnap.com:
The sources asked not to be named. One source said that they did not
trust DHR or other government officials not to retaliate against them,
because what they have seen thus far with the Holms indicates to them
that the people operating under color of law in Cleburne and Calhoun
County have no regard for the law or for the civil rights of the people.
They do not trust DHR not to retaliate against anyone attempting to
expose the corruption.
Parents Fight Back
Even though there is a gag order in place, the Holms are fighting
back. Sources report that the couple have been joined by others as they
have held peaceful protests in the town of Heflin, Alabama.
Protesters hold up signs in Heflin, Alabama.
According to one source who contacted us, DHR is “finding out quickly
that people are rallying behind their cause.” The source believes that
DHR thought that the couple traveling through the state on their
missionary journey were an “easy target,” and that they could quietly
steal their baby, gag them, and nothing would be done about it.
They thought they were going to roll over. They thought
that they had no resources or family to fight the system. They thought
that they would take their kid and be done with it.
They were wrong.
Contact Between Parents and Baby Cut Off After Letter Sent
The source reported that the Holms experienced retaliation recently
from DHR. As of 3 1/2 weeks ago, all visitation between the baby and his
parents was halted. It has been nearly a month since they have seen
their baby. He will be two months old on Saturday, and his parents don’t
know where he is or how he is doing.
The visits ceased without warning after the Holms sent a lengthy
certified letter to multiple people involved with the taking of their
baby, with copies of the letter sent to Alabama Senators Jeff Sessions
and Richard Shelby, as well as to Congressman Mike Rogers. The 25 page
letter lists the laws allegedly broken and Constitutional rights
allegedly violated by DHR, the sheriffs department, Anniston Regional
Medical Hospital, and other parties who participated in or enabled the
actions against the family.
An anonymous source sent a copy of the letter to
Health Impact News, and it has been verified as the second notice which was sent to multiple individuals and entities on November 28.
The notice began with a reminder from the Holms that “the Creator of
the Universe YHVH is watching and recording everything you do,” and that
they will one day give an account for their actions before God. There
was also a reminder that all who hold any type of office or position
with any governmental entity are sworn to uphold and defend the
Constitution of the United States and the Alabama Constitution.
Points 6 and 7 state:
6. Therefore, you are all put on full, timely, lawful
notice that you have individually and collectively committed the
criminal act of kidnapping in an organized crime ring, you have assented
to the criminal act of kidnapping, you have agreed, cooperated in,
aided, abetted, ratified, validated, concealed, assisted, financially
benefitted [sic] in, joined, supported, cooperated, with, covered for,
protected, shielded, and conspired with each other in:
The kidnapping of our live, healthy, baby boy, by force of arms, in
the presence of visibly armed officers using color of office, acting
under color of law,
Absent lawful, judicial capacity court order,
Absent warrant of arrest,
Absent probable cause of criminal act(s) having been committed,
Absent reasonable articulable suspicion of ongoing or even pending criminal act(s),
Absent voluntary permission, assent, consent or acquiescence from us, and
Absent lawful authority under God,
Absent lawful authority under the United States Constitution,
Absent lawful authority under the Alabama Constitution,
And absent lawful authority under the unorverturned holdings of the United States Supreme Court.
7. Your acts and omissions have damaged me, Christian Holm, have
damaged my wife, Danielle Holm, and have damaged our yet-unnamed child,
who:
Was not in any medical neglect;
Was not in any medical duress;
Was not in any potential of criminal harm;
Was not in any emergency;
Was not under lawful seizure warrant issued in writing by any
lawfully acting judge in their lawful judicial power, supported by any
sworn affidavit of probable cause of any credible person claiming any
potential neglect or harm;
Was not taken from us under any probable cause of crime having already been committed by us;
Was not taken from us under any reasonable articulable suspicion that crimes were about to be committed by us against him;
And therefor, you all had no lawful right to remove said child from
us and yet, AND YET he was ripped from Danielle’s arms and forcibly
kidnapped from our custody, control, care and parental ownership
thereof.
The letter addressed the concerns that the parents did not get a
social security card for the baby at the hospital, pointing out existing
law regarding the “Enumeration at Birth” program of the Social Security
Administration. This is the program under which parents may apply for a
social security card at the time of birth, before leaving the hospital,
if they choose to do so. It is not a law or requirement, but an
available option for parents, as the Holms point out:
Kindly note that the following excerpt is locatable by
most semi-intelligent people with a computer and internet connection, by
entering:
“SSA POMS NSF R.M. 10205.505” into any working search engine.
According to the Social Security Administration website:
NOTE: EAB is voluntary for parents and hospitals….
EAB is a convenient service option for parents who need an SSN for their child….
State vital records agencies should not submit SSN applications when parents elect not to participate in EAB….
Even though many individuals, including some social workers and law
enforcement, mistakenly believe that a parent is required by law to get a
social security number, or even a birth certificate, for that matter,
no such law exists. Point 16 of the letter states:
You have therefore unlawfully kidnapped our live, healthy child for us not participating in a clearly voluntary system.
Danielle and her baby. It has now been almost a month since she has seen her baby. Source:
Fundrazr page.
The Holms continue in the letter to point out that no such law exists
requiring that a baby be named at the hospital, or even during the
first 60 days of life. The letter cites the case of former U.S. Olympic
Gold Medal downhill skier Picabo Street, whose parents did not name her
for several years, allowing her to pick out her own name at 3 or 4 years
of age,
So stop trying to make up laws in your bureaucratic mind
any longer and try to coerce us, oppress us, or place us under any more
duress or any more threats of harm, like you have already done to us, or
to our live healthy baby, and just give him back to us now….
You, one and all, have therefore violated our rights by constructing
laws in your mind that do not even exist and have kidnapped our live,
healthy child for not obeying these two imaginary laws that apparently
exist only in your individual and collective brains.
The letter accuses those involved with the kidnapping of denying
their baby the benefits of his mother’s milk and normal family bonding
time, then addresses the violation of their free speech rights:
You have violated our First Amendment rights to contact
the media about your kidnapping our live, healthy, baby boy without
probable cause of crime, without warrant and without medical duress, and
as such, have caused irreparable harm of libel and slander to us and
our right standing in the community as loving, Christian parents, in
violation of 18 USC 242 individually and 18 USC 241 collectively.
The Holms point out that their monthly support provides “more than
enough for our shelter, clothing, and food.” They then address a
complaint common to virtually every family who has ever contacted
Health Impact News about the medical or legal kidnapping of their child/children:
[The] extreme amounts of coercion that if we do not jump
through or over whatever imaginary hoops, hurdles, inspections, criteria
or qualifications, that you can dream up and place upon us, either now
or in the future, that you will then attempt to consider that “failure”
to be a waiver of our parental rights, or that it would then “show” or
“be evidence” of our being unfit parents, when no law allows you to
create such a false construct against us in the first place.
47. Laws mandating or prohibiting behaviors are to be written only by Congress and the State Legislators.
The next portion of the letter addresses many of those “hoops” that
parents are often demanded to jump through by social workers. Child
Protective Services often calls these things “services” or items on the
“safety plan.”
Christian and Danielle see it differently. They refer to them as
“hostage demands,” which many would say is a much more accurate
description. Some of the hostage demands to which they will not submit
include:
- psychological testing, as we are already sane, loving, caring parents.
- home visits from any of your agents, because there is no law in
existence, either federal or state, that requires us to submit to such
intrusive actions.
- parenting classes, because there is no probable cause documented by
any credible, third party who has stated in any sworn affidavit, signed
under the penalties of perjury, to show their documented belief that we
are already unfit parents.
- follow up meetings with our baby boy for you to poke, prod, stab,
weigh, inspect or evaluate, because there is no federal or state law
requiring such, when the baby was removed from care, custody, and
ownership under the above described unlawful parameters.
Numerous federal statutes are listed that are alleged to be broken by
those participating in the seizure of the Holm’s baby, including:
- Misprision of felony – 18 U.S.C. § 4
- operating a Continuing Financial Crimes Enterprise – 18 U.S.C.§ 225
- collectively operating a Conspiracy against Rights – 18 U.S.C.§ 241
- Deprivation of Rights under Color of Law – 18 U.S.C.§ 242
- Conspiracy to kidnap – 18 U.S.C.§ 371
- Extortion by Officers or Employees of the United States … – 18 U.S.C.§ 872
- Receiving the proceeds of extortion by making us
pay for unwanted, un-needed and unlawful services, classes, testing,
meetings, hearings, appointments, visits and more, in violation of 18 U.S.C.§ 880
- Falsification of Material Facts – 18 U.S.C.§ 1001
- Official certificates or writings by filing knowingly false documents in writing against us and/or against our live, healthy, baby boy in violation of 18 U.S.C.§ 1018
- committing Frauds and Swindles – 18 U.S.C.§ 1341
- Attempt and Conspiracy – 18 U.S.C.§1349
- Peonage, by unlawfully participating in the taking
of the human body of our live, healthy baby boy against our will, and
absent lawful court order (kidnapping) and attempting to place him into a
lifetime of bondage, servitude and labor to a voluntary system in
violation of 18 U.S.C.§ 1581
- And FINALLY, for Engaging in monetary transactions in
“property,” treating our live, healthy, baby boy as if he were mere
“chattel” or “natural resource material” and then attempting to
ENUMERATE him in a VOLUNTARY SYSTEM, derived from specified unlawful
activity of kidnapping him from us, in violation of 18 U.S.C.§ 1957.
The letter enumerates various Alabama statutes that were violated as
well. The Holms are demanding that their baby be returned immediately to
them, and they are demanding damages of one billion dollars:
Per ALABAMA CIVIL STATUTE 6-5-271; if a $200 watch has
been stolen, a $200 damage has been done; if a $1000 cash robbery has
occurred, if a $50,000 sports car has been stolen and chopped, then a
$50,000 damage has occurred, and if a priceless baby has been kidnapped
absent probable cause, then an inestimable and priceless damage has
occurred, according to the gift of life that the Originator and Creator
of Life YHVH has embodied therein, and so we, the PARENTS, Christian and
Danielle Holm are thus being FORCED BY YOU to PICK and ASSIGN the value
of that damage done by the kidnapping, and to expedite the righting of
the wrongs, which is hereby declared to be no less than ONE BILLION
DOLLARS CASH, but that will continue to grow daily if unpaid.
The other way or means for us to determine the value of a kidnapped
child, is if we were told to pay all that we owned for the safe and
immediate return of our kidnapped child, and the maximum that we owned
was ONE BILLION DOLLARS CASH, we would have no problem paying that
entire amount in ransom for his safe and immediate return, and start
again penniless.
As of the time of this article, one insurance company representing
one of the entities addressed in the letter has responded, saying that
they are “looking into it.” No one else has responded. However, it was
right after the letter was first sent out that DHR stopped all
visitation with their baby.
Court Continued Until December 14
There was a court hearing for the Holms family on Monday, December 5,
and supporters rallied before the hearing. One source said that they
had never seen so many police officers and state troopers as there were
that day at the courthouse. At one point, all of those at the rally
disappeared into the courthouse. Ordinarily, family court is closed to
the public, but apparently it was open to supporters on this day.
One supporter expressed his concerns with the proceedings on Facebook:
There are a few things that happened during the trial
that raised questions for me regarding the legality of Judge Melody
Walkers decisions.
1st: The decision to prolong the trial was done against the parents
wishes due to witnesses testifying on behalf of DHR not being present.
(if one of the parents witnesses weren’t present I doubt the trial would
have been prolonged)
2nd: Evidence in the form of paperwork was trying
to be admitted into evidence on behalf of DHR that wasn’t certified.
That was objected to on the grounds that the documentation wasn’t
certified and was denied as admissible by the Judge. At the next hearing
I’m guessing this paperwork will now be certified and try to be
admitted then by DHR. If the trial was finished on the 5th then this
paperwork would have never had a chance to be admitted in the first
place. (It is my thinking this is part of the reason for prolonging the
trial)
3rd: Counsel on behalf of DHR
(prosecutors), Judge Melody Walker, and the baby’s attorney entered an
outside room and denied Christian Holm access to the meeting to see what
was being discussed. I’m no lawyer, but these actions seem biased and
one-sided toward the parents and seem to lean toward siding with DHR.
One source who contacted
Health Impact News reported that
DHR appears to be “grasping at straws” in order to try to justify taking
the Holms’ baby. He said that they really don’t have a case, and he
suspects that is why they have continued the case until December 14 in
order to give DHR more time to attempt to build a case.
