A Black Lives Matter protest more accessible to those in the disabled community is being organized for next Friday in Portsmouth.
Tawna Fisher, of Unity, never imagined that she’d have a four-year-old son when she was 54.
Her own biological children are well into their 30s and have their own kids. But when her niece got pregnant, Fisher knew she would struggle to take care of a child. When the baby was just three weeks old, his pediatrician called the Division for Children, Youth and Families (DCYF), concerned that the baby’s biological mother was not feeding him.
With a search for 7-year-old Harmony Montgomery ongoing for weeks now, the question still being asked, but for which the answer remains elusive, is how does a child go missing for more than two years and neither police nor child protection services know about it?
“The more provocative question would be who noticed the child when she wasn’t missing,” said Moira O’Neill, Director of the New Hampshire Office of the Child Advocate, which has oversight for the state Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF). She is not seeking reappointment to her post which expires on Jan. 31, 2022.
