Republicans admit colossal failures in girl's disappearance

In South Dakota local control is Republican control.

Republican former State Senator Lynne DiSanto has been raising awareness of the abuses committed by the Children's Home Society that led up to the 2019 disappearance of Serenity Dennard. 

CHS has been under the regulatory microscope before for violations of trust and one former executive director is none other than Republican former South Dakota Governor Denny Daugaard. Billionaire Republican Denny Sanford, an accused child pornographer, has given millions to the organization that owns a facility outside Rapid City, just for instance. As the story of Sanford's pedophilia broke Carmel, Indiana-based private investigator Veracity I-I-R confirmed that they were hired by Serenity’s adoptive family to revisit the steps that led to her disappearance and explore likely outcomes. 

Later in 2019 SD News Watch ran a series of articles highlighting South Dakota as a hellhole for kids. 

Before her disappearance Serenity Dennard spent time in a dozen foster homes in a state where the industry is a pet project of Republican Daugaard's wife. It's estimated that the United States foster care industry supplies some 88% of sex-trafficked children some of whom are raped for money at the annual Sturgis Rally. 

Serenity's adoptive mother has admitted to suicide attempts because of all the Republican bunglings so the SDGOP finger-pointing continues to the present day. The federal center for Medicaid Services intervened in 2019 and excoriated the CHS for its indifference to client protection. 

Another Republican, a former captain in the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office says the failures to locate the young girl still haunt him. Investigators say it's doubtful she was abducted by strangers but her history of running away means her planning an escape is entirely possible. That Serenity was lured away by Bandidos with help from the Children’s Home Society crossed my mind very early in her disappearance. 

Spokesperson for the department, Republican Helene Duhamel insists the case is still open. In 2020 Republican then-Sheriff Kevin Thom admitted the failures of his department in the case and denied an interview for a recent update. In 2020 a Republican former Rapid City police chief resigned to become a CHS employee.

Current Republican Black Hills Children’s Home director, Michelle Lavallee insists security at the de facto children's prison has been tightened but refuses to elaborate.

Whistle-blower DiSanto was forced from the state's demonic legislature then changed her name and moved to Montana but has since returned to sell real estate in Rapid City.
