Cautiously relieved to learn that #Agape plans to close its doors on January 20.

I'll take a moment to celebrate this battle victory, but the war is far from won.
Efforts to #ShutDownAgape have been going on for years, but especially since September 2022. Our former Attorney General eventually filed an injunction to shut them down, then slow-walked it for months.

#Agape is closing for financial reasons, not for the welfare of children.
Nearly 30 residential facilities have reported to DSS #Missouri that they exist and are exempt from licensure. We don't have any way to know whether there are any that have not notified DSS, where they are or how many. dss.mo.gov/provider-servi…

Friday evening. It's been quite a week. Looking forward to the weekend.
Earlier this week I gave a talk to a social work class about the juvenile officer system in Missouri.
On Wednesday, I spent 6 hours in the budget committee hearing on a tax cut that will put a $2b-no, $7b-then $2b again- tax cut.

@Eric_Schmitt @JennaEllisEsq Although funded at taxpayer cost
Eric’s posturing can still exhaust.
With #freetime on his hands
for new campaign grandstands
Eric’s past reputation he lost
once he chose theatrics to rehearse
by abusing the taxpayer’s purse.
@EllenLWeintraub @SeanJCooksey
@Eric_Schmitt @JennaEllisEsq @EllenLWeintraub Eric Schmitt works for the gov’t;
public funds he improperly spent.
His trip to #HoltsSummit
let confidence plummet
in this overly litigious gent.
Always seeking more publicity
this AG lacks authenticity. 📸

@Eric_Schmitt @JennaEllisEsq @EllenLWeintraub @ShanaMBroussard @SeanJCooksey AG Schmitt: a lawyer we don’t need.
His own office budget dry he’d bleed
bogus suits to rehearse
as his repute grew worse
while his authority he’d exceed. His
tax-financed trip to #HoltsSummit
his credibility let plummet. #mosen

"It goes to show that the kids that you abuse today, those are the ones that are going to kick you down tomorrow. We were abused by Agape but we weren’t scared.” @RobertBucklin8

Agape has a long history of alleged abuse.

"All 10 substantiated preponderance of evidence claims against Agape involved findings of physical abuse. Those 10 substantiated claims are the only ones reported by the state since 2006."

A 1pm hearing today was set to determine the fate of #Agape but reports from @RobertBucklin8 and @Batmanda4ever indicate this has been moved to Monday morning. Will update as I learn more.

@Eric_Schmitt “When it comes to #Agapé, I failed.
Although kids needed help there, I bailed. As the subject I changed, I left voters estranged so my polling further southward sailed. Although your vote I still solicit, my negligence made me #complicit.”

@Eric_Schmitt @robertbucklin8 Schmitt’s popularity’s descending; Chuck Grassley & Paris are trending. Schmitt ignored #Agapé … to close it he’d delay. His campaign’s with problems contending. @ParisHilton @BossBunny503 @SparetheRodHQ @ColtonSchrag @RepKeriIngle

@Eric_Schmitt @robertbucklin8 @ParisHilton @BossBunny503 @SpareTheRodHQ @ColtonSchrag @RepKeriIngle Eric’s negligence left folks #agape;
prosecution duties he’d escape
with a #copout to Mike.
It’s why voters dislike
this official who attempts to ape
an illusion of legal reform while
maintaining #Missouri’s sick norm.
