Beaufort County Commissioners Requested to Show Resolve for Oversight and Due Process to Protect Children and Families | Eastern NC Now

    Government and its bureaucracy are not perfect, and never has been in this self-governed society, here at the local level, at our state level, and at our federal level, therefore, it is incumbent upon all elected politicians to seek a comfortable level of representation for our constituents, and, thereby, find the means to succeed in a manner, where all parties benefit ... At least at an imperfect point that exceeds current levels, levels where it can easily be ascertained we must improve our self-governed society.

    How do I know this, and how do I know the answer within a reasonably complicated situation - the bureaucratic interdiction of the familial structure without oversight or due process?

    First, I have had far too many requests from constitunts that something be done to relieve the gripping pain of breaking up families to achieve a bureaucratic solution, with the backing of the judiciary; Secondly, conscientious oversight by the state, and to a lesser extent, county governments, and constitutional due process with the state judicial system will solve many problems, especially for the families that are affected, deeply affected. The only way I can see this properly occurring is to request for the State of North Carolina to take an active legislative role in the rewriting of state laws regarding the protection of children and families from being emotionally incarcerated by the bureaucratic "system," where few parties benefit, except the burgeoning government of an expanding bureaucracy.

    Below is a transformative resolution for your Beaufort County Commissioners to adopt to request the aforementioned improvement of change for the betterment of the People we represent.

Beaufort County Commissioners are Resolved to Request Enhanced Legislation Providing for the Provisions of Greater Oversight and Judicial Due Process to Protect Children and Families from the Perilous Strains of Bureaucratic Overreach

    Whereas, Beaufort County's government, the Beaufort County Board of County Commissioners, is a body politic of the State of North Carolina, and is empowered to perform duties and acts of governing on behalf of the North Carolina General Assembly, including oversight for that governing body, and on the behalf of the self-governed People of Beaufort County; and,

    Whereas, families, and their children are at the mercy of North Carolina's general statues, antiquated in today's society of how children can best be protected, while strengthening the family unit, as children are reared to become strong, stable Beaufort County citizens; and,

    Whereas, currently, the local judicial courts often become involved when the process of the taking of children, from their familial settings, has advanced to a prominant stage, without the benefit of the taking process initiated by a court order; and

    Whereas, Beaufort County's children and families are of a paramount concern to local and state politicians, where we must all agree that we should protect these familial structures from the current lack of judicial due process, and the accompanying bureaucratic overreach, without enhanced oversight; therefore,

    Let it be resolved, that Beaufort County Commissioners request that our NC Senator, and, or NC Representative, those who represent Beaufort County's People, bring legislation to the floor of North Carolina's General Assembly that enhances the provisions of greater oversight and judicial due process to protect children and families from the perilous strains of bureaucratic overreach.

Submitted for passage by the Beaufort County Commissioners on February 9th, 2026; then, when ratified, to be immediately conveyed to our local representatives in the NC General Assembly for their representative assistance.
