Darrell is the Founder of "Silent Voices Speak: LOUD". A quiet strength and spirit before the storm of "Silent Voices Speak: LOUD". He is also a Father, Activist, Author, Inventor and Designer. Who is completely committed to the fight and cause of family rights and welfare of children. He knows the separation of children from families is a traumatic experience that leaves children vulnerable for exploitation and abuse. This separation and struggle can last a lifetime and create a loss of identity, culture and history. His own daughter was kidnapped by Arizona Child Protective Services where they changed her name, social security number and changed her. She never got to know her extended family. It was replaced by a strange family. #silentvoicesspeakloud
Leanna is one of the founders of "Silent Voices Speak: LOUD". She is a mother, activist, advocate, former respiratory therapist and author. Her wealth of information and knowledge about systematic destruction of families is what drives her to advocate for change. As a mother whose children were stolen from her by Arizona Child Protective Services to hide medical malpractice, cover physician errors, retaliate against her family for filing legal actions, and coverup physical/sexual/emotional/psychological/ medical abuse all while in state custody. Leanna knows first hand about corruption, false allegations, injustice, perjury, death threats, incompetent judges, suspicious expert witnesses, dysfunctional case managers, unprofessional guardian ad litems, and incompetent public defenders for more than a decade here in Arizona. #silentvoicesspeakloud
