The state urgently declared Ms. Briuana Morgan an unfit mother, took her children and claimed it was in the children’s best interest. Young Kemari didn’t survive while in foster care. Zariyah, Kemari’s older sister, is still in the custody of the same foster parents.
Members of the Libertarian Party of North Carolina (LPNC) including Rob Yates, Thomas Hill, Sean Haugh and myself, attended the Person County Board of Commissioners meeting in Roxboro, North Carolina on June 2, 2025 to show support for Briuana Morgan, demand answers for the death of her one-year old son while in foster care, and demand that Ms. Morgan’s other child Zariyah be returned to the family and removed from the same foster care where Kemari was found lifeless.
My confusion with this meeting was the lack of liberty and justice given to Ms. Morgan, her family, and their community as the board meeting started with bowing their heads in prayer followed by standing and facing the flag to pledge allegiance to it. Liberty and justice is what they prayed for and pledged to. Yet, they provided no answers, no explanations, and no plan. And they didn’t offer the same urgency as when they took her children to begin with. You can watch the live stream here.
Where’s the state’s urgency when a child dies while in the care of foster parents? Why is Zariyah still with these foster parents? Why don’t we know what happened to Kemari? Why won’t the board provide any answers?
I know the pain of burying my child. We’re going on the 4th year without our son, Chase. The grief & suffering never goes away. My heart completely breaks for Ms. Morgan, her children and her family.
To the board, I request not to pledge allegiance to the flag, but to pledge allegiance to love. To liberty and justice for all. You are accountable to the people you serve. When your actions cause irreversible harm, you must not only commit to justice, you must act upon it with life and death urgency. When you choose love, you never choose wrong.
Please share Kemari’s story, send your condolences, support, and donations to Ms. Morgan today. She needs all of our help.
