Foster Father: Sweat Shirt Is Not Hassani's
Posted: Sunday, 13 September 2009 5:46PM
<snipped>
Clothing found on Sunday that is similar to that worn by a missing 5-year-old boy with cerebral palsy does not belong to young Hassani Campbell, the boy's foster father said.

Volunteers searching for the youngster on Sunday found a small gray sweat shirt, a red sock, and clothes at the end of Chabot Road. They immediately contacted police who sent cadaver dogs to the dead end road.

The boy's foster father, Louis Ross, and his foster mother, Jennifer Campbell, arrived at the scene to examine the clothing. Ross told CBS-5 the sweat shirt was a different brand and did not belong to Hassani.

Every Sunday, hundreds of volunteers led by led by Sherri-Lyn Miller, who owns a printing business in San Lorenzo.

Police believe the boy was murdered and arrested the couple on homicide charges two weeks ago, only to release them for lack of evidence.

Ross and Campbell have maintained their innocence and say they are cooperating with police.

Miller said she would continue to organize vigils and searches until the case was closed.

Search for missing Fremont boy turns up suspicious sweatshirt
Posted: Monday, 14 September 2009 5:25AM
<snipped>
The search for a Fremont boy who police believe was murdered took a strange twist yesterday, when a group of volunteers looking for the boy discovered some discarded clothing just a mile away from where he was last seen.

The group discovered a gray sweatshirt, child's sock and a piece of a blanket on a hillside.

Police cordoned off the area and inspected the clothing, but say it doesn't appear to have been worn by 5-year-old Hassani Campbell.

Volunteers have been combing the area where Campbell's foster parents claim he went missing a month ago.

Kudos, and a check, for DHS
September 14, 2009

The state of Arkansas has received more than $800,000 for exceeding targets to find more adoptive homes for foster children, particularly some harder-to-place children. It outperformed a number of larger states, according to federal figures.

Children in foster care are more apt to be abused, neglected, raped, killed or go missing (just Google Hassani Campbell) than they are in their real homes. Now the states are offering to pay fosters even more money if they'll allow the child to stay in the home until age 21! See, that's the difference here. Fosters kick the kids out on their 18th birthday but their real parents would NEVER EVER EVER do that! They send them to college, when they can, help them move out on their own or let them stay home until such time as they can afford and emotionally handle living on their own.

Everyone wants to think that CPS is this benevolent, altruistic organization, saving all the abused and neglected children in the country but that is NOT what is going on here. I have personally talked with countless parents who tell me that on every visitation they have with their children that they're bruised, have stitches, severe diaper rashes, broken bones, are filthy, wearing clothes either way too small or way too big, and eat like they're starving to death. Some tell the parents that they've been sexually abused by someone in the foster home and when they report it to their case worker, they tell them to mind their own business.

Police To Analyze Clothes In Hasanni Campbell Case
Sep 14, 2009 9:05 pm US/Pacific
<snipped>
Oakland police spokesman Jeff Thomason said Monday that clothing found by volunteers searching for missing 5-year-old Hasanni Campbell doesn't appear to belong to him.

However, Thomason said investigators will do a lab analysis to try to determine if there is any connection between the clothing and Hasanni, who suffers from cerebral palsy and was reported missing from the parking lot of the Shuz of Rockridge shoe store in the 6000 block of College Ave. about 4:15 p.m. on Aug. 10 by his stepfather, Louis Ross.

Volunteers found a gray sweatshirt and a sock at the end of Chabot Road in Oakland about 1:10 p.m. on Sunday. The area is about a mile east from the spot where Ross reported last seeing him.

Thomason said the reason that investigators don't think the clothing belonged to Hasanni is that it appears to be the wrong size and Ross said it wasn't the same clothing that the boy wore.

Thomason said there haven't been any new tips in the case in recent weeks and police do not condone the private searches such as the one conducted on Sunday.

She said there also will be another candlelight vigil for Hasanni at 6:30 p.m. Monday outside the College Avenue Presbyterian Church at 5951 College Ave., which is across the street from the Shuz of Rockridge store. There's been a vigil in the area every Monday night since Hasanni disappeared.

The family of Hasanni Campbell privately commemorated his sixth birthday Thursday, while volunteers are organizing another search for the missing Fremont boy on Saturday.

Hasanni's grandmother, Pamela Clark, said the family "is just in seclusion" Thursday.

Sherri-Lyn Miller, a San Leandro print shop owner who has been organizing regular searches for Hasanni, had originally planned to hold an event for the boy, but it was called off out of respect to the family.

However, Miller said that organizers will be searching Coyote Hills Regional Park in Fremont starting at 8 a.m. Saturday.

The search of that area was originally scheduled for last week, but was canceled due to permit issues, Miller said.

Family Privately Commemorates Hasanni Campbell's Birthday, Volunteers Plan Search
9/24/2009 5:19:00 PM
<snipped>
Though it’s been over a month since Hasanni Campbell was reported missing, volunteers searching for him are still determined to find him.

Search organizer Sherri Miller tells KRON 4’s Haaziq Madyun they will not give up until he is found.

Hasanni would have turned 6-years-old on Thursday

Miller notes that Ross and Campbell have not participated in two previous searches for the boy and that she has not spoken with them since they were released from jail. She adds that frustration is growing regarding their lack of support, “It would certainly help if they were coming out and supporting our searches.”

Oakland police have no new tips in the case, and police spokesman Jeff Thomason says police do not condone the private searches.

Miller invites those wishing to join the search to call (510) 276-9090 or send an e-mail to findhasannigmail.com.

Volunteers will also be at the Rockridge Street Festival on Sunday, wearing T-shirts and passing out flyers with the goal of "getting his picture back out there," Miller said.

Event to help finance search for missing Fremont boy

Posted: 10/07/2009 04:00:00 PM PDT

OAKLAND — It's been nearly two months since Hasanni Campbell, a 5-year-old Fremont boy with cerebral palsy, was reported missing from behind a shoe store in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood.

And in those two months, the attention the case is getting has lessened significantly. The once-weekly vigils on Monday nights have turned into once-a-month gatherings at the request of his foster parents. An organized search for the boy hasn't been done since the last weekend in September.

And it's been 10 days since Hasanni has been mentioned in the local news, said Sherri Miller, the 40-year-old San Leandro woman who has been heading the searches and organizing the vigils. Earlier this week, Miller held a planning meeting for a Nov. 1 fundraising dinner at a Livermore winery. The turnout of volunteers was far lower than she expected.

About $1,000 raised at Hasanni Campbell fundraiser

Organizers raised about $1,000 at a fundraiser for Hasanni Campbell, the missing Fremont 6-year-old who hasn't been seen in almost three months.

The money will be used for future searches and possibly to hire a private investigator, [Miller] said.

"It was a good turn out," she said, adding that there were about 120 people at the event.

Neither Ross nor Campbell, who is due to give birth to her first child at the end of this month, attended the fundraiser, and they have not been involved in the searches or vigils in recent weeks. The boy's grandmother and an aunt were at the event Sunday, Miller said.

Volunteers trying to find a 5-year-old Fremont boy who's been missing for more than three months are hoping a $75,000 reward will bring some fresh leads to the case.

They've held a number of vigils for Hasanni Campbell since he was reported missing Aug. 10, but they say the latest one Tuesday had a poor turnout.

Authorities and volunteers have now raised the reward, up from the $60,000 announced in September.

Drummond: Why the deafening silence from missing boy's foster parents?
Posted: 11/15/2009 12:01:00 AM PST
Updated: 11/16/2009 10:23:20 AM PST
<snipped>
THERE ARE a number of things about the disappearance of Hasanni Campbell that do not compute.

"We are going to do what we need to do as parents," Ross said, regardless of what the police do. "... As long as I have breath in my body we will search for Hasanni."

Yet the truth is, Ross and Campbell haven't done any of the things that parents of missing kids typically do to advocate for their children and keep their names and faces in the public eye.

Rather than staying in close touch with the police, and trying to keep up the pressure to find their child, Ross and Campbell have invoked their right not to talk to the police. That means investigators can no longer interview the foster parents unless they come to the police of their own accord — something they have not done since their arrest.

Neither have the parents made any effort to reach out to reporters at this newspaper — or any other media that I am aware of.

The only thing that has kept Hasanni's disappearance from falling completely off the radar are volunteers who have organized searches, held vigils and fund-raisers. The foster parents haven't even been going to those.

Your 5-year-old has been missing for three months now and you go totally silent? No public comments? Not even an appeal for Hasanni's return on what would have been the child's sixth birthday?

When is the last time you saw either one of these two tearfully calling for Hasanni's return?

"I see activity, but it's all coming from other people," says Marc Klaas who offered the services of his missing children foundation Klaaskids to help search for Hassani. "The normal advocate in this situation would be the family, but here, there is deafening silence

He says Ross never took him up on his offer of help.

Campbell, who was pregnant when Hasanni disappeared, is scheduled to have a baby any day now.

Low turnout at vigil for missing Fremont boy
Posted: 11/11/2009 12:02:58 PM PST

"We had a handful of people, but that was it," said Sherri Miller, who has organized searches, vigils and at least one fundraiser for the missing Fremont boy.

"The more frustrating it gets, the harder we have to work," Miller said. "He's out there somewhere and that's the bottom line. He's out there and he deserves to be found. Hopefully with the city's new police chief and new district attorney, maybe they'll get some answers. Maybe we'll figure it out. I don't know what it's going to take, but we haven't found him yet, so we just have to keep going until we do."

Supporters continue to hold monthly vigils for the boy. The next one will be on Dec. 10. For more information, visit www.hasannicampbell.com or e-mail findhasanni@gmail.com.

Sherri-Lyn Miller, a San Leandro print shop owner who has been organizing searches, vigils and fundraisers for Hasanni, said only four people attended a candlelight vigil for Hasanni at the College Avenue Presbyterian Church, near the site where he was reported missing, on Tuesday, which marked the three-month anniversary of his disappearance.

However, 10 members of the news media were present, Miller said.

Miller said Ross and Jennifer Campbell weren't at the vigil on Tuesday and haven't been involved in the search effort recently.
