Ingham Clerk Barb Byrum, detective husband allegedly used ‘local political influence’ to reinstate son at school with his rape victim
https://www.themidwesterner.news/2024/02/ingham-clerk-barb-byrum-detective-husband-allegedly-used-local-political-influence-to-reinstate-son-at-school-with-his-rape-victim/Ingham County Clerk Barbara Byrum and her husband Brad Delaney, a detective sergeant with the Ingham County Sheriff’s Office, are alleged in a suit filed in federal court to have used their respective political positions to circumvent a Mason Schools expulsion, Title IX complaint, and a personal protection order against their son.
Mason High School Principal Lance Delbridge and Assistant Principal Nicholas Toodzio are also named as defendants in the lawsuit.
Attorney Brandon Wolfe in late January filed the federal civil rights complaint against Byrum, Delaney, the Mason Public School District and the Mason Board of Education alleging a conspiracy that violated his adolescent female client’s rights under both school policy, Michigan law, and federal Title IX guidelines.
Prior to serving as Ingham County Clerk, Byrum was a Democratic member of the Michigan House of Representatives from Jan. 1, 2007 to Jan. 1, 2013, succeeding her mother, former House Minority Leader Dianne Byrum.
The Dems are full of creeps and enablers.
A subsequent Title IX investigation resulted in findings by the school district “that BD’s unwelcome touching and digital penetration to E.M. was so severe, pervasive and objectively offensive that it effectively denied E.M. equal access to the district’s educational program in violation of her civil rights.”
B.D. was expelled, but according to the Jan. 2024 complaint filed against Byrum and Delaney: “Approximately 150 days after the suspension, B.D.’s parents petitioned — using their local political influence — the Mason Board of Education for reinstatement of B.D.”
Byrum and Delaney’s son was reinstated in school, which forced his eighth-grade victim to share classrooms, hallways, and extracurricular activities with him everyday.
