While DHS Continues To Ignore The Tragedy They Created, Lincoln’s Family Continues To Fight

SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM TO FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN TAKE ACTION TO HELP RETURN LINCOLN LOCHMAN TO HIS PARENTS!

Our guest for today’s live podcast was our friend Katy Smith with V1SUT (Rumble, YouTube).

Though she’s been on the program to talk about Lincoln Lochman before (June 25, 2025), today she updated us on the case. It’s still ugly and DHS is still completely at fault for removing a baby from his parents and essentially trafficking him to a same sex couple – one of whom was indicted twice for child sex crimes.

Today, Katy talked about two new developments in the case that make everything worse and DHS even more at fault. They are so mindboggling and just flat wrong, I cut two shorts out of the full podcast in order to put a fine point on them.

The first one has to do with DHS just flat not following their own laws, but then again, I think we’d find that this happens quite a bit with government agencies. After all, who oversights government agencies like DHS? More government? Yup. Hmmm. Government oversight of Government – that has to end up with We The People coming out on top, right? LOLOLOL

So how UNFUNNY was that? Can you imagine being Lincoln’s parents and realizing that a government agency has your child and they are not even following the law – meaning if they were, YOU WOULD HAVE YOUR SON BACK? That’s just awful.

But then, there’s this…

Even though Oklahoma DHS is mandated to keep children with their parents, if they can’t, they are mandated to keep them within the child’s family. Here again, the Lochman’s get screwed. DHS completely ignores the emails coming from Andrew’s brother and put Lincoln with a same sex couple, one of which COULDN’T KEEP HIS HANDS OFF MALE BABIES. If the world were even sort of fair, heads would be ROLLING at Oklahoma DHS, but as it is, Governor Stitt-appointed head of OKDHS, Jeffrey Cartmell, refuses to answer any of Katy’s inquiries.

Let’s not get on Governor Stitt’s track record of HORRIBLE appointments, let’s just stick with the fact that Cartmell was head of The Office of Juvenile Affairs when the Tulsa Juvenile Justice Center was investigated by the OSBI because it was reported that employees were abusing children in their care.

In all honesty, this is one of the most horrific cases of GOVERNMENT ABUSE AND MALFEASANCE I’ve seen in some time. If you’re interested in helping the Lochman’s get Lincoln back to them, Katy has put some information together to help us do that. And, as she says in the video, do not forget that WE ARE ALL STATUTORY REPORTERS, meaning that once we know a child is being abused we MUST report that abuse.

Here’s how we’ll report:

Call the Oklahoma Oklahoma Child Abuse Hotline: 1-800-522-3511, or make a referral by email to: inforeferral@okdhs

Because Lincoln has been traced to Kansas, also call the Kansas Protection Report Center Child Abuse Hotline: 1-800-922-5330 (there is no email referral)

This is Lincoln’s information:

Child’s name: Lincoln Harrison (adoptive name), Lincoln Sarver Lochman (birth name)
Child’s date of birth: 12/15/2020 (Age 4)
Risk of harm: Sexual abuse
Caregiver: Ryan Marcus Harrison (formerly Ryan Marcus McManigal)
Address: 5516 N SANDKEY CT WICHITA, KS
Caregiver’s place of employment: Heartspring,8700 E 29th St N, Wichita, KS 67226, United States

When you make your report, you can say something like this:

I’m part of a group of concerned citizens who are increasingly concerned about Lincoln Lochman’s whereabouts and safety. His current caretaker was married to a man twice arrested for child molestation. We are very concerned about his health and safety and want him rightfully returned to his parents Andrew and Gardenia Lochman in Oklahoma.

When you are finished making your report, request the agency respond to you with a referral or case number so that you can follow up to get the status of the report you made.

Wetumka Teacher/Coach Arrested – Victims Speak Out

Wednesday, October 16th, was the hardest podcast I’ve had to do in the roughly two years we’ve been broadcasting. Our friend Mary with V1SUT Substack joined us on the third Wednesday as usual, but this time she brought her own guests.

With Mary were Justin Cotes and Casey Yochum – two men who have bravely come forward to tell the stories of their abuse at the hands of, teacher, coach and athletic director, Brent McGee.

The stories the two men have shared with Mary are simply heartbreaking, but they want to encourage other survivors of Brent’s employment at either Noble Public Schools, or Wetumka Public Schools, to come forward and they believe telling their stories can help.

In the clip below, Casey shares how he was able to record Brent McGee’s confession.

Yes, you heard that correctly. Casey recorded McGee’s confession, took it to an attorney who agreed that the confession was good, only to find out that he had just aged out of the Statute of Limitations for sexual assault while a minor.

This begs the question; why is there a Statute of Limitations on ANY crime? Doesn’t that handcuff the victims?

Sexual abuse can be buried in the subconscious – as it was in Casey’s case – for many years. Does this mean that abuse couldn’t have happened if a victim doesn’t remember it? Clearly not, but Oklahoma’s current law puts victims in that nonsensical predicament!

Obviously, next legislative session, a brave legislator needs to come forward and remove the Statute of Limitations on crimes committed against children!

Before we signed out of the podcast, Mary goes over the warning signs of sexual abuse happening WITHIN THE SCHOOL and how to spot predatory behaviors by adults toward children.

To recap; be particularly observant about behaviors of coaches around young men (and, as we know from Ashley Roland’s story – young women too!). Watch for teachers overstepping their bounds and taking on parental roles, as well as violating school policy.

Mary reminds us about Representative Sherrie Conley’s bill to protect students from one-on-one communication with a school-employed adult – communication that can be allowing, or furthering, inappropriate relationships among students and school employees.

In fact, schools were supposed to train personnel in the law at the beginning of the year in order to help close this avenue of connection between students and school employees.

Please, speak with your Oklahoma legislator NOW about stepping up to write a bill that would remove the Statute of Limitations on child predation next session. In the meantime, watch the full podcast on our YouTube and Rumble channels and share this information with all those you know whose children are enrolled in ANY school outside their own home.

OK Rep. Sherrie Conley Talks Broken Trust – Her New Non-Profit

Wednesday, July 24th ROPE Report Regular, Representative Sherrie Conley, talked with Michael and I about her new non-profit Broken Trust.

After working with numerous former students who had horror stories about being molested or abused by public school employees, Sherrie decided that something needed to be done and she was going to do it.

The Broken Trust website is a place where people can contact Sherrie with tips and/or reports of abuse occurring within public education.

In the clip below, Sherrie talks about her desires for the organization and shares its first event.

If you would like to attend – or share this event with others who might be interested – click here.

It’s honestly sad to realize that this kind of event is needed today, but it is. So few parents understand what could be happening after they drop their child off at school – and fewer seem to understand what to do if their child comes forward to report abuse.

Sherrie reminds EVERYONE that, according to state law, EVERYONE is a mandatory reporter of abuse any time they find it.

For parents, the very best thing to do, should you suspect abuse, is IMMEDIATELY CONTACT LAW ENFORCEMENT – and that doesn’t mean your school’s School Resource Officer. SROs are employees of the school first and foremost. Their contracts are with schools, not with the police department to which they are attached and certainly not with parents. If school administration is told, the school will investigate – not law enforcement. Consequently, the first call if any parent suspects abuse from a public school employee is to your nearest LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICE.

In the clip below, Sherrie talks about the abuse taxpayers receive after a school is found guilty of abusing a student or students. In this case, 2 Kingfisher Public School’s coaches were accused of knowingly allowing students to abuse one another in the high school locker room. One family sued and won a judgement of 5 million dollars, of which the Kingfisher school district taxpayer will be required to pay.

As Sherrie explains, the school asks the county assessor to raise their millage rate to cover costs over their budget and this results in higher property taxes for the home owner while the school’s administration and board, get off scot free.

Please take a moment and share this article – and the videos – with others. The only way we FIX this problem is to educate others who can help us demand change!

We Need To Protect Children From Public School Predators – V1SUT Vantage On ROPE Report Live

For her regular Wednesday appearance on ROPE Report Live, our V1SUT Vantage blogger, ‘Mary’, Michael and I talked about yet another incident where a public school teacher had molested a child. This time while he and his husband were on vacation on a cruise ship.

How in the world does this happen?

One good piece of news ‘Mary’ gave us, was that State Superintendent Walters had spearheaded an investigation into Ashley Rolan’s sexual assault case, causing at least one of the perpetrators to come forward and VOLUNTARILY relinquish their license. One down. Many more to go.

In the short video below, ‘Mary’ talked about Statute of Limitation laws in Oklahoma and how they must change if we’re to protect children and make abusers pay for their crimes.

Since 2017, the Statute of Limitations on reporting sexual abuse is age 45. That seems awesome until you find out that this date is NON RETROACTIVE – meaning that no DA will file charges against someone who has abused this person IN THE PAST. How can that be? So the abused can REPORT the crime, but the abuser can’t be held accountable if the abuse didn’t happen in the same year?

Watch the short video below to see why.

The only way to solve this problem is by changing the statutes to allow for prosecution of sexual crimes against children even though the victim could be reporting the crime as an adult. Oklahomans should absolutely do all we can to protect our youngest citizens and we’ll be helping where we can on this issue for 2025 in the legislature.

In the next short video, ‘Mary’ talk about how it is that members of the LGBT community seem to have some kind of immunity when it comes to prosecution for crimes involving minors. Check out the short video below to hear ‘Mary’ talk about a situation she’s reported on from Bartlesville involving not one, but TWO children put into foster care with a same sex couple. One child ended up with a broken arm that was never investigated and a subsequent child died. This is simply not okay, yet it continues to happen over and over again.

We must pass on this information to everyone we know. Public outcry could make legislators act, but we need to spread he word so that awareness of these situations grow.

Continued to stay tuned every third Wednesday to hear what ‘Mary’ has for us next and check out her substack as well!

Take an hour or so to watch the full video on our Rumble or YouTube channels. You won’t be sorry. ‘Mary’ is always so informative!

ANNOUNCEMENT: Moms 4 Liberty, Yukon area, is hosting an event in conjunction with Sherrie Conley’s new non-profit Broken Trust called, “A Guide to Protecting Students from Predatory Behavior”, Tuesday, August 6th at 5:30, location to be announced. This event is free, but please sign up so they know to expect you.

Ashley Rolen; Fighting To Have Her Abusers Removed From Oklahoma Public Schools

Ashley Rolen submitted statements to the Little Axe school district in 2002, describing the sexual abuse that had been perpetrated on her by several coaches employed by the district.

Nothing was done either done to help Ashley, or remove the coaches. Ashley moved on with her life.

But as Ashley tells us in the full podcast (YouTube Rumble), the day she heard about Olympic physician, Larry Nassar, and the stories of the brave gymnasts who told of their sexual abuse while under his care, she knew she had to make it right – for herself and for the other girls to whom this had happened and ones to whom it might be happening now.

As an adult, Ashley filed a complaint with the Oklahoma State Department of Education under Joy Hoffmeister. She was told that they had no investigators for her case and that she’d have to do her own investigation – which she did – and returned it to the OSDE under Ryan Walters.

Still – a full year later – and nothing has been done about the coaches who abused her, nearly all of whom are still employed by the State of Oklahoma in a public school.

In the video below, Ashley talks about what needs to happen for these reports to be taken seriously by school administration and the OSDE – which she doesn’t believe is really happening now.

In the video below, V1SUT Vantage blogger, Mary, Ashley, Michael Grande and I discuss how schools are getting around mandatory sex abuse reporting laws, allowing public school employees who have abused students to just disappear from the school and wind up at another without ever being made to pay for their crimes. The level of protectionism among school staff makes it nearly impossible for reporting to occur outside the school and even then, if a school resource officer shows up to talk to the complaining parties (the student and his/her parents or guardians) with school administration, it appears that school administration feels as though that kind of scenario IS the reporting.

If Ashley’s story teaches us anything, it’s that if we’re to save Oklahoma children from sexual predators operating inside Oklahoma public schools, we have to force schools to properly INVESTIGATE and REPORT and for the OSDE to put actually put parents and students first, by having any claims investigated by the OSDE promptly and teaching certificates removed so that the perpetrators can no longer harm CHILDREN.
