Journalist Calls Child Protective Services On Senate Candidate And Single Mom Over Columbus Day Tweet
Self-described “Award-winning multi-media journalist” David Leavitt called Child Protective Services on Virginia State Senate candidate Tina Ramirez, reporting her for “child abuse” because her opinion of Columbus Day differed from his.
The spat began with an apparent non-sequitur, when Leavitt replied to a tweet from Ramirez over reports that PayPal planned to fine people for spreading “misinformation” — a story broken by Daily Wire reporter Ben Zeisloft.
“Only women can be pregnant. Do I owe PayPal $2500 now?” Ramirez asked, to which Leavitt replied, “Why are you celebrating torture, rape, murder, and enslavement?”
Leavitt appeared to be referencing another tweet in which Ramirez wished her followers a happy Columbus Day, and Ramirez responded with a simple explanation: “I teach my daughter real American history. I refuse to join the radical left’s campaign to erase history.”
Leavitt responded by attempting to get some of his 330,000+ followers to harass Ramirez by reporting her to Child Protective Services.
“Can someone please call child care services on Tina Ramirez who’s teaching her child to be a racist?” he asked.
He then apparently decided to make the call himself — and complained about the long wait time to speak to someone at the hotline.

Leavitt needs to be prosecuted for this frivolous false report. Not that I imagine that Prog-infested social workers are likely to do this.
False reports to CPS have long been used as weapons in child custody battles and to harass homeschoolers (e.g. the 1990s Calabretta case). The false reports will continue to flow until anonymity is done away with ( :bigbird: Fritz Mondale!) and false reporters experience serious consequences.

Making a false report. I am pretty sure that is illegal.

The problem isn't that there's a hole in the laws, but that there's a lack of will to punish "small stuff" and crimes Libs/Progs approve of.
