Jan Smith of Washington State Extended Families is going on a hunger strike in front of the Olympia Department of Social and Health Services starting Wednesday, June 16, 2010 at 9 a.m. She reports that the department regularly brings false and misleading information into the courts and judges are supporting a corrupt, dangerous system that is needlessly destroying families all over the state. "There is no due process of law for extended families," states Smith who has found herself vulnerable to verbal slander within court process when she is not a party to the case. "The public is duped thinking that the department cares about families and children when the reality is that it is about federal funding and win/lose."
