Child abuse, prostitution, drug trafficking, federal fraud, and even human trafficking are occurring in Hernando County, and taxpayers are funding the criminal operation through federal grants, according to dozens of former occupants and employees.

Under the guise of an abuse shelter, Salvare Incorporated receives over $1.6 million each year in federal funding through the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA). Approximately 93% of that money goes to salaries and employee benefits.

An 8-year investigation revealed the majority of women and children residing at the Spring Hill facility are not victims of crimes, and many are trafficked from different states just to fill beds.

In an attempt to expose this alleged criminal organization, the investigator has been demonized, threatened, and falsely arrested to discredit his report. A documentary, Behind the Gate, is poised for release in October of 2020, but attorneys with the Hogan Law Firm have filed motions to prevent the film's premier. A Fifth Circuit Judge has already granted an injunction forcing the filmmaker to remove part of the film and new motions have been filed to prevent the film from being released in its entirety.

Those involved with contravening the U.S. Constitution include many who took an oath to uphold the Constitution. They include, but are not limited to, Hernando County Clerk Doug Chorvat and his predecessors, Karen Nicolai and current Judge Don Barbee, Hernando County Sheriff Al Nienhuis, Representative Blaise Ingoglia, and the Department of Children and Families

The actions of those above have directly infringed upon the right to free speech and free press. The Fifth Circuit refuses to release documents and information which is explicitly guaranteed under the Freedom of Information Act of 1966.

The authors of this petition will be presenting this information to the Hernando County Board of County Commissioners on October 13, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. It will also be presented to Florida Legislators, the U.S. Congress, the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and major media outlets.

Please help us bring an end to child abuse, human trafficking, federal fraud and violations of the First Amendment by signing this petition.

Thank you

The First Amendment should always be protected and upheld. By silencing a Reporter, County Resident and inquiring mind our local government is stepping all over the protection and freedoms afforded to us by our Constitution. There are valid questions being asked and only 1 man has stood up and asked them publicly. There needs to be a full, unbiased audit of what is going on in Hernando County when it comes to the Dawn Center and Judicial System. I fully stand behind our Local Law Enforcement but I am certain that a proper investigation from an outside party would uncover illegal and unethical activities.

It’s our constitutional amendment to free speech. If our rights are violated by those elected to protect them our freedom will not be here much longer.

This has to end! Hernando County's finest always trying to cover up their dirt. Noone would be trying silence Tom Lemons if what he has discovered wasn't true. What is the sheriff and Dawn Center so afraid of???

Dozens of women have come forward with identical horror stories. Neighboring residents have reported their own complaints about prostitution and drug use in their own front yards. Former employees have testified to human trafficking, child abuse and drug use inside the facility. All the above have testified to administrators committing federal fraud. If the judges, who are also directly connected to Dawn Center, get their way, the film will never be released. Unless I choose sit in jail on contempt charges.
