Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s children were taken away from him after a tip from someone who turned out to be “mentally unstable,” according to police records.
Last month, the 44-year-old’s four-year-old twins, Penelope and Gus, were separated from him and his husband after an anonymous caller told Child Protective Services that he had committed “unspeakable violent crimes” and warned that the children could still be at risk.
It has now transpired that authorities later deemed the source possibly untrustworthy, due to her potential mental instability.
Has the tipster been arrested? No? Then that would be the result of a false report against Republicans too, right? No? Why do you think that is?
no need, there’s one in the news every fucking week diddling kids or raping/abusing women.
I mean, the “mental instability” portion of the report is probably the biggest clue. You have no idea how fast law enforcement pushes anything resembling mental illness either to EMS or to gunpoint. I know of a person in my community who straight up has been stopped for DUI over a dozen times, but the local jail won’t let officers bring him in so he is just let go each time. I can’t remember the reason, but he is the classical ‘batshit insane’ caricature brought to life, and the standard protocol for dealing with him is to call us to bring him to the hospital ED.
