Intentionally abused his public office and power and knowingly orchestrated the kidnapping if the 4 children. From the mother. (This SW actually knew father had sexually abused the children, but didn't care about that, (It was never that the sw didn't believe it)
(Sw was tasked with getting kids to father irregardless of anything, and took it upon himself to even consult the father on "how we can get the kids kidnapped from her for you" -even the one to suggest to the father to viciously attack the mothers mental health status, in order to "make it easier for us (MCFD) to get the kids for you (the father)
This is what really happened.
Pages 38-70 of the court decision clearly explain the sequence of events, exposing sw tl William Strickland's (knowing the father BG was guilty) malicious and manipulative document tampering and other criminal acts in order to try to hide the sexual abuse evidence to help the father even at the time in the very beginning.

The Stolen Children of Maine: Native Wabanaki Seek Truth, Reconciliation Amidst a Cultural Genocide
The Stolen Children of Maine: Native Wabanaki Seek Truth, Reconciliation Amidst a Cultural Genocide
Denise Altvater was born in 1959, a Passamoquoddy child in Maine. She and her sisters were taken from her home by child welfare services when she was seven years old and forced into foster care, where she recalls being raped, starved and forced to sleep among rats. She eventually ended up in a kinder foster home, but even there she was discouraged from speaking of her heritage. Altvater now works in the field of indigenous child welfare, but reentering the tribe has been a long and often excruciating process. She has been suicidal at times, and struggled with her own personal relationships. “I wasn’t the best parent,” she told me. “I didn’t know how to be a parent.”
