I am a concerned family member of Jacquetta Brown. I am aware of the active DSS case involving Shalonda Hayes vs. the state of SC. I am also aware that the state has decided to return the children, without legal involvement, due to the numerous accounts of the above named, contacting various agencies and creating fictitious accusations. I am asking for assistance from Governor Haley's office. Although I am unable to speak fully regarding Jamier Hayes, I have had active involvement with Janiya Hayes since birth. Shalonda Hayes has been an unstable individual since I have known her, which was in 2011, during the birth of Janiya Hayes. I have kept and provided for Janiya, from 3 months old, up to and including 4 years old, although there have been breaks in between the time. Shalonda has been in and out, and eventually evicted, from numerous apartment homes, has not maintained an employment history, and has even been through a few psychotic episodes. I fear for her children's safety. She has been in and out of her children's lives, for the most part, the last 5 years. I do believe that she only want the children because of the monetary contributions she will benefit from(food stamps, housing subsidies, child support, etc). For over the past year, my mother and aunt, Laverna Hall and Jacquetta Brown have been caring for Janiya, due to me living out of state at this time. My mother has also known Janiya for the same length of time as myself, because of my past care for her. During this time, my mother as well as my aunt, have provided for Janiya solely on their own income, without the help of Shalonda Hayes. Over the past year, they have enrolled Janiya in a 4k program, managed to maintain a total well-being, and provided a loving and nurturing environment for Janiya. Shalonda will not provide for Janiya, and has even received the child support for her up to November of 2015, when she hadn't had custody of her over the previous year. If I'm not mistaken, this is considered fraud. Just to name a few incidents over the recent two month, Shalonda has created a false GoFundMe account, soliciting monies for her, as well as her children. She stated she, as well as her children, were displaced and suffered damage during the horrific flood in October. However contradictory to what she's stating, she did not have custody of her children at that time. Also, more recently, a close family friend was appalled to notice Shalonda present at a night party, on the same weekend she had visitation with her children! How can you have a relationship bonding visitation with your children if you're not spending time with them? I have included footage, photos, and screenshots of the above mentioned incidents. This is an individual who clearly is not ready, nor capable of having her children placed back into her custody as of yet. If you were to ask the children, they would even tell you that they are not wanting to go with their mother. I am pleading that you all please consider reevaluating this case for the sake of the children. Please assist me in helping DSS keep this case active and not return the children to Shalonda Hayes.
