TRANSPARENCY MATTERS: CHINCOTEAGUE’S ROLE

We want to take a moment to respectfully clarify the role the Chincoteague Police Department had in the early stages of Hunter’s case, as there has been ongoing confusion and misinformation being shared.

Chincoteague Police Department was involved in the early stages of this matter, including coordination and interaction connected to Delaware agencies. Their involvement occurred during a critical timeframe, and it is appropriate for the public to understand that multiple agencies and jurisdictions were connected to the situation from the beginning.

It is also important to acknowledge that Chincoteague Police Department was under different leadership at that time, specifically under Chief Robby Fisher. Leadership matters, and it is only fair to clarify that the department today is not under the same command structure as it was during those events.

Additionally, due to a conflict of interest being present, the case was ultimately transferred to the Accomack County Sheriff’s Office.

This post is not written to create rumors or stir division. It is being written to ensure the facts are accurately stated and to reinforce why transparency and accountability matter — especially when a child is harmed and multiple agencies become involved.

Hunter deserved urgency.
Hunter deserved protection.
Hunter deserved the truth from day one.

And as his family, we will continue advocating until there is full accountability and justice.

Let’s talk church 💙

From the day we brought Hunter home, worship has been his calm.

CeCe Winans Goodness of God has been his song since day one — and I mean that literally. When Hunt was neurostorming… when his body was stuck in fight or flight… when he was screaming uncontrollably from trauma… that song was the ONLY thing that could bring him back down.

There were moments we felt completely helpless.

All we could do was hold him, rock him, cry quietly so he wouldn’t feel our fear, and pray with everything in us for God to take his pain away.

And in those moments… God met us there.

Finding a church home has always been on our hearts. We’ve prayed for a place that isn’t just “nice” but truly inclusive — a church where Hunter could be actively engaged, welcomed, and included in children’s ministry.

Maybe we are looking for a unicorn… but this medical mama will never stop hoping.

In the meantime, we keep having “church” whenever the spirit moves.

Today it happened in our kitchen while I was making pancakes.

Kari Jobes The Blessing was blasting, I’m singing through tears, trying not to burn pancakes… and I turned around and saw this.

My boys were praising Jesus.

I watched Tater with hand lifted, grab Hunt’s hand like it was the most natural thing in the world.

And I just broke.

Because in that one tiny moment, I saw everything.

I saw love.
I saw innocence.
I saw protection.
I saw brotherhood.
I saw healing.
I saw God.

I snapped the picture as fast as I could, threw my spatula down, and started praising and praying right there with them because I knew… I KNOW… God is in this story.

He has carried us through the darkest nights.
He has held Hunter when I couldn’t fix it.
He has strengthened us when we were running on empty.

And He is still writing something beautiful out of something that never should have happened.

We are so blessed 💙🦈🦈💙

Who’s ready for warmer weather?!?

What’s your favorite thing to do in the Summer?

Hunt loves to go fast on his boat 🛥️ and Tater, well he loves to sunbathe ☀️

The last 48 hours have been one heck of a wild ride.

And tonight, I received an email asking me to step outside of my comfort zone again in a few weeks to publicly advocate for our sweet boy.

The day I met Hunter, my life changed forever. I vowed to fight for him until my last breath — and I still stand on that promise today.

God placed Hunter (and Tater) in our lives for a reason. And I believe with my whole heart that Hunter’s story will continue to bring light, truth, and change.

Because parenting isn’t a part-time job.
You don’t get to choose when you feel like being a parent.

Hunter deserves the world — and with God’s strength, I’ll keep fighting to make sure he gets it.

💥UPDATE💥

A local mama has reached out and graciously offered her son’s adaptive bike that he has outgrown to Hunter 🥰

We are super grateful and excited for this awesome opportunity!

But, to put things into perspective…

a radio flyer tricycle costs $89.99
an adaptive tricycle costs $5-6K

All children deserve access to opportunities like bike riding but with prices like these it significantly limits children with additional needs like Hunter from accessing things most take for granted.

——————————————————————————-

Let’s make a deal muahaahahaaaaaa just kidding!

Yesterday some heavy (much needed) news dropped and we thought why not have a little fun tonight with a guessing game 😬

Hunter is obsessed with this new bike that he gets to use at Bloom Physical Therapy and Wellness LLC. He’s even started to pedal without support! 🤯

So, we have started looking into funding sources if insurance doesn’t cover one because our boy is motivated to ride!

So just for 💩 and 🤭 ….can you guess how much one of these fancy adaptive bikes runs price wise?!?

I think the coolest part about this bike is that you get to customize it and choose the colors among other things. What sold us is the bike horn options actually offer a shark!
