AbleChild Files Emergency Testimony in Connecticut After Exposing Mimi’s Death Under DCF
Republished with permission from AbleChild.
AbleChild, a national nonprofit advocating for informed consent and accountability in child serving systems, has filed emergency testimony in Connecticut opposing a shocking new bill being sold in the name of 11 year old Jacqueline “Mimi” Torres García. Lawmakers and agency officials are telling the public that more reporting on families who withdraw from public school is the answer to preventing another tragedy like Mimi’s. AbleChild’s testimony shows that story is simply not true.
Mimi did not die in an unknown home the state could not find. She died after a lifetime around DCF, courts, and mandated reporters. Her mother was a product of the very system now being rewarded with more power, and state agencies had already removed and returned Mimi in the past. This was a high risk family, known to the state, not a stable homeschool household “disappearing” from the grid.
When concerns were raised again, the failure was not a lack of paperwork or school notifications. The failure was that DCF believed lies and chose convenience over protection. Instead of insisting on seeing Mimi in person, a DCF worker accepted a video “welfare check” in which a 22 year old woman later admitted she impersonated 11 year old Mimi on a Zoom call at the request of Mimi’s mother. The agency treated that screen image as proof the child was safe. By the time that call happened, Mimi was already dead and her remains would later be found hidden in a container. The problem was not missing data. The problem was that DCF and other systems refused to use the power and information they already had.
Despite these facts, lawmakers are pushing a so called “Mimi bill” that creates a statewide reporting pipeline on every child withdrawn from public school. Under the proposal, when a parent pulls a child from a public school under existing law, the local board must notify the state education bureaucracy within a tight, two day window. That bureaucracy is then required to pass the withdrawal along to the child welfare agency, which will note the change in any existing case file. Leaving public school becomes an automatic data event for the same system that failed to protect Mimi when she was directly in its sights.
Politicians and agency officials are packaging this as a “homeschool fix,” claiming that more reporting on families who exit public school is needed so “another Mimi” does not slip through the cracks. But Mimi’s case did not happen because a typical homeschool or private school family quietly left the system. It happened inside a family already surrounded by DCF, courts, and mandated reporters, where warnings were ignored and a fake Zoom appearance by a 22 year old stand in was accepted as evidence that a child was alive. No extra step where a school notifies another office would have changed any of that. The state already knew this mother, already knew this child, and still let her disappear.
Using Mimi’s death to justify tracking every family who leaves public school is deceptive. It shifts blame away from the agencies that failed and onto ordinary parents who make lawful educational choices, homeschool, private school, or other alternatives. At this point, who even trusts the state to tell this story honestly, and why would any family feel safe “registering” their decision to leave public school with the very machinery that lost track of Mimi?
Mimi’s name should be a summons to transparency and accountability inside DCF, a full timeline of every contact, every report, every opportunity to intervene, independent investigations of agency conduct, consequences for those who signed off on her safety while she was being abused and starved. It should mean fixing the culture and practices of an agency that chose a video screen over real world verification, not tightening control around parents who have done nothing more than withdraw from public school.
AbleChild’s emergency testimony urges the public to look past the slogans and ask a simple question, would this bill have saved Mimi? The answer, based on the record, is no. Mimi was already in the system. Her mother was already in the system. Officials already had the power and information they needed and failed to act. Turning that failure into an excuse to expand surveillance of families who leave public school is not child protection. It is political cover, and every Connecticut resident should call, write, and do whatever they can to oppose Bill 6. The good news is that there are already pages and pages of testimony submitted in opposition, and the public hearing before the Children’s Committee in Connecticut is on Wednesday, March 12, giving every concerned resident a chance to be heard.

Seems like another push to indoctrinate the young in DEI liberalism.
No, it's not. I know a LOT about AbleChild as an insider, personally acquainted with it's founder and it's and funders. They are about as far away from DEI liberalism as you'd ever want them to be. AbleChild started out 20+ years ago with a much narrower focus – solely working to protect kids and their families from the assault by the psychiatric industry to label & drug every child they could lay their filthy greedy hands on.
Although my kids are now long grown and gone and I've lost touch with Ablechild, I'm happy to hear they in this fight. They are well worth supporting.
No consequences and the idiocy rolls on
DCF=what? "Democrats and Crisis Funds" "Doctors Children Forgotten" "Dwarf City Forever"
What does it mean?
This is a perennial problem with the Holts.
They often skip some of the basics of journalism?
Who, what, where, when, and why [if you know].
Write out the entire title/name, the first time you use an anacronym.
If you have kids, you'll know.
Department of Children and Families.
In my state of Arizona they are the states number one trafficker and the government educated retards are ambivalent.
It's global.
Any wonder the Epstein matter is buried?
Not called that in all states, though all states have such a department.
Legacy of another crappy Minnesota Democrat: Walter F. Mondale, the U.S. Senator from Minnesota (D-MN), who was the primary sponsor and key figure in establishing the national framework for child protective services through the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA).
Mondale introduced the bill (S. 1191) in the Senate on March 13, 1973.
He chaired the Senate Subcommittee on Children and Youth (under the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare) and held pivotal hearings in 1973 to build support and gather expert testimony on child abuse and neglect.
The legislation passed Congress and was signed into law by President Richard Nixon on January 31, 1974 (P.L. 93-247).
CAPTA is often referred to as the "Mondale Act" in historical accounts because of his leadership role.
It created the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect (now part of the Children's Bureau in HHS), provided federal funding to states for prevention, identification, investigation, treatment, and mandatory reporting systems, and set minimum federal standards—effectively establishing the modern national child protective services (CPS) infrastructure by incentivizing and supporting state-level systems.
And ALL of them crooked as hell.
Bastions of liberal ideology. Busybodies with badges.
Many of them a state sanctioned child trafficking ring.
Apparently, DCF is acronym for a state-run pizza store.
Department of communist frauds.
You woud think that this 'great' journalist,and founder of TGP, would have put the full name of DCF, at the first mention of this agency.
All this does is confirm the arrogance and stupidity of the MEDIA, when it comes to practicing ANY form of 'journalism'.
Poor baby was doomed at birth.
Democrats are always seeking ways to interfere with parental rights so as to assume contoll of the children for the purpose of satanic perversion indoctrination
Democrats feel the same way about children that they feel about private businesses. They think both are some sort of privilege, to be awarded, controlled and administered by the state. Basically, the Democrat party in America has been overrun by a bunch of fascists with deep communist roots. Given the opportunity, they will lead this country down the path to a totalitarian style government and our freedoms will become a footnote in history. It's up to us to prevent that from happening. Perhaps it time we took a page out of THEIR playbook and adopted their "ends justify the means" approach. These people are the REAL enemies of Democracy and they should be identified, rounded up, and removed from our society using whatever means we have at our disposal. If we don't, they WILL win this fight and we will have nobody to blame but ourselves.
Unless the parents are psychos and the kids are in real danger. In that case, they have "compassion" and feel that the child will do best with his parents.
It is just a job. Nothing more, nothing less. Government only cares what is happening when the public stands up and demands justice.
Yet Justice seems to never happen to the "special" people.
DCF is what Joe? Department of Child something I assume.
DemocRats run Connecticut, so my guess is Department of Child F**kers
Democrats Committing Fraud
Democrat Child Fornicating …
The evil that comes from Connecticut democRats time after time after time is alarming.
This is a naked attempt at punishing people for leaving the indoctrination system.
I read and re-read the first three paragraphs, then skimmed through the rest and never did figure out what DCF stands for. I can guess, but it seems rather sloppy writing not to clarify it for us who (fortunately) are not from Connecticut.
Definitely a paucity of information, frustrating for sure.
Me too.
"DCF?" was my main takeway
Sometimes it's the editing that leaves out stuff like that.
Department of Children and Families, it does vary state to state though, I don't remember what they call it in Pennsylvania.
edited to add: had to go look it up because I remembered it was weird and stupid. ocyf = office of children, youths, and families
It is just one more silly term for CPS. They imagine changing their name will somehow fool people into tolerating their life of crime.
DCF – Department of Children and Families.
The DFC seems to spell this: Death Certification Finally
She is SAFE with Jesus now. Those who perpetrated this horrendous crime will be getting DIVINE PAYBACK IN THIS LIFE……AND….THE LIFE TO COME. There are no do-overs or parole. Fire sucks when you are burning in it.
DCF worker accepted a video “welfare check” WTF?!!
DCF and CPS workers seldom leave their homes or office these days and sit at their desks on computer. RARELY today do they make home visits. Worked in CPS for 30 yrs and the corruption and stupidity has been going on for decades. THAT is why I finally retired. Even the upper crust no longer cared for the safety of children..
So, if I decide that the public school system has FAILED ME, I GET REPORTED??
#BULLSCHIT
We have known for decades that CPS is staffed with pathoogical liars. Giving them more power to abuse innocent families after they have failed yet again to protect the child of a known abuser is ridiculous.
CPS needs fewer files, less power and fewer responsibilities, so that they can focus on real problems rather than inventing excuses to abuse responsible parents.
CPS colludes with human traffickers and places kids in very dangerous situations. We cannot afford to give them greater license.
Good article, I could have done with a little less of the peddling bit at the end for donations and as someone pointed out below, not everyone knows what dcf stands for, but otherwise a good article that explains why administrative excess and government overreach is worthless. This was caused by a lazy social worker. One who is likely still employed and receiving pay for this. I would have appreciated know when this occurred, based on some of the clues I suspected the pandemic had a large part to play but a little sleuthing says Mimi's body was found in 2025, so that throws the social distancing bs out the window. The dcf employee was lazy, and stupid apparently since they mistook a 22 year old woman for an 11 year old girl.
missed at aborting her only to murder her later, its called late term by demonicRATs
Be nice to know what "DCF" stand for or what it is.
We are from the Government and here to help you (and maybe kill you)…. Sickening
Wednesday is the 11th of March. Thursday is the 12th.
Which day is the hearing?
I should not have to ask this.
The goal of the Marxists is to eliminate homeschooling altogether so that the children can get proper govt indoctrination.
DCF = Deranged Criminal Fuktards
Sad that CFS is attempting to use this death to override the civil rights of parents .
The have the tools to do their jobs already if the y just follow the laws and the steps that are out lined
However one thing they do allow that has caused many families not to trust or to allow them to do anything is the use of complaints without any ID for the family to know if this is the same person who is using the system to Harrarest t them or not
If there is no open cases then it would just sit there.
WTF is DCF? Is it a code signal for you know what?
Probably Dept of Children and Families or a similar iteration.
It’s CT. It’s not a coincidence that the original colonies are now the hot spots for the commie revolution.
Well Florida,and the French territory weren't 13 colonies owned by the crown of England. Revolution was fought between English and English. Since the colonies were England land. Florida belong to Spain.
Ok. This story was about CT and what they are doing and that was what my comment concerned. . Not sure where you are/were going with that reply.
The Department of DNC indoc wont be denied
DCF or HRS is a big beruocrat Business. They took parents rights away, took over schools " saying punishment is bad" , yet they put kids with haters, who only want that check, and the kids suffer. Foster parents should be screened throughout the whole process, and beyond. Where does that money really go too?
Dems will deny and excuse it, but evil is REAL . From the Swedish pop singer Zara Larsson saying to a fan who aborted her baby “I killed the performance (her hit song “midnight Sun” ) and you killed it afterwards.” To this innocent s brutal death, Satan walks among us.
God is pissed yall
The poor baby. This world is a terrible, hideous place for many millions of innocent children. I take solace in knowing that she's with Jesus now in perfect joy for eternity.
Bait and switch legislation, again.
The real goal is to terminate homeschooling by criminalizing it.
Then kids must accept grooming from the creeps running the schools and have no way of escape.
Let's say you object to a creep running a school program and you want to withdraw your kid. The creep reports this to DCF and now your family is under investigation and law prohibits you from removing your kid from that school with the creep. See how that works?
Enrollment is dropping so the commies are doing a power grab to force kids to stay in a bad system.
Oh, and CPS/DCF has interstate agreements over the entire USA, it's a complete network of chapters, so once you are under investigation, you can't just move to another state.
The more you learn about DCF, the more you realize it was never about the health and welfare of children, it was always about expanding government power and empowering the government with the ability to remove children from loving homes when the parents defy government.
What is allowed is what will continue.
100% true .And the GOP Senate and Rinos know this and want ALL of this to continue!
Including the stolen elections !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes.
WOW!
The left is REALLY getting nervous!!!
Any conservative that withdrawals a child out of public, brain washing school system is doing themselves, the child, and the country a great service!!!
Well, the left doesn't like not having its tentacles wrapped around little Steven or Sally, and will make up these absurd laws in an attempt to make it look like they really care about your child!!!
They Don't!
They only look at that child as a future mouthpiece for the left!!!
President Trump is causing these fools suchTDS, That they are all starting to reach way outta bounds to cover their sins, as well as their flimsy armor is starting to crack!!!
Keep the pressure on! Let's watch them completely melt down!!!
Lmao!!! Over the left tards, not the little girl! That is just So very sad!!!
It's a kick the can solution and why would anyone trust DCF to do anything it says anyway? No one is going to do anything productive for the child and solely attack the parents for wanting more than indoctrination for our future & their children.
State "child protection" bureaucracies ALWAYS see danger in solid, two parent, conservative, Christian homes, but leave the drug addled child abusers alone.
It's perverse.
