Heather Hackman Kidnapping Devin Muhlenhaupt

Notice to Law Enforcement and Investigatory Agencies: The following outlines severe federal and statutory violations by Heather Hackman and Phoenix CDs. The primary advocate (AJ) is the legally mandated caregiver for Devin. Devin requires continuous authorized care; forced separation constitutes a direct threat to his safety. Furthermore, Phoenix CDs' actions represent unlawful retaliation against documented Federal Whistleblowers who actively reported fiduciary misconduct. 31 U.S.C. § 3730(h) – False Claims Act (Whistleblower Protection)] When individuals report compliance failures, fraud, or abuse within federally funded programs (such as Medicaid and consumer-directed care), they are federally protected from retaliation. By arbitrarily cutting hours and obstructing care after being reported for administrative misconduct, Heather Hackman and Phoenix CDs are engaging in actionable whistleblower retaliation. Using the reduction of vital healthcare services as a weapon to punish or silence whistleblowers is a severe violation of federal law. 18 U.S.C. § 1201 (Federal Kidnapping) & Applicable State Criminal Neglect / Unlawful Restraint Statutes] To unlawfully isolate, remove, or restrict the movement of a vulnerable individual away from their legally designated caregiver without due process, consent, or emergency jurisdiction constitutes unlawful restraint and, depending on the severity and jurisdictional movement, meets the criteria for kidnapping. Because Devin cannot safely be left without his primary caregiver, the deliberate severing of this support structure by an administrative agent is an act of reckless endangerment. It forces a state of peril upon a protected individual, rendering the administrative agent liable for any physical or psychological harm that results from this forced separation. 18 U.S.C. § 242 Fiscal intermediaries and caseworkers operating within state and federally funded healthcare programs (e.g., Medicaid waivers) are acting under the "color of law." It is a federal crime for anyone acting under the color of law to willfully deprive any person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States. By stripping Devin of his federally protected right to ADA-compliant integrated care, and by stripping his caregiver of their due process rights through unauthorized scheduling manipulation, the operative has committed a federal civil rights violation. 42 U.S.C. § 1396n(c) – Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services Waivers Under HCBS waiver protocols, the choice of provider and the execution of the care environment belong to the consumer and their authorized representative. A fiscal intermediary is explicitly barred from interfering with this relationship or utilizing their administrative position to mandate physical separation between a patient and their legally designated caregiver. Notice to Responding Officers: This broadcast and corresponding evidence trigger mandatory statutory obligations for law enforcement. The documented removal of authorized care hours constitutes willful deprivation and neglect of a vulnerable adult. Officers are legally bound to investigate these allegations and act upon provided evidence of physical endangerment. Mandatory Investigation of Criminal Neglect (720 ILCS 5/12-4.4a) Under the Illinois Criminal Code, the "Criminal Abuse or Neglect of an Elderly Person or Persons with a Disability" is a felony. "Willful deprivation" is explicitly defined as deliberately denying the necessities of life, including medical care, shelter, and prescribed support. By unilaterally severing Devin's authorized care without due process, Heather Hackman and Phoenix CDs have engaged in willful deprivation. Law enforcement possesses a statutory duty to investigate reported felony neglect. Illinois Adult Protective Services Act Obligations (320 ILCS 20/) Illinois state law designates law enforcement officers as mandated reporters and primary responders in cases involving the neglect, abandonment, or financial exploitation of adults with disabilities (aged 18-59). The systemic obstruction of funded care by a fiscal intermediary constitutes financial exploitation and passive neglect. The Act mandates law enforcement intervention when evidence indicates a vulnerable individual is placed in a dangerous situation due to the withholding of essential care. Misprision of Felony (18 U.S.C. § 4) Federal law strictly dictates that whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not make known the same to authorities, commits a crime. Officers presented with actionable evidence of federal civil rights violations (18 U.S.C. § 242), unlawful restraint, and whistleblower retaliation are required by law to document, forward, and act upon the evidence. Ignoring verified documentation of endangerment constitutes a failure of lawful duty.
