Would *I* Lie???
I saw part of the live stream, Trooper showed up, said they're taking her to the hospital for a ex-parte mental psych hold/ eval and theres nothing she can do. Followed her around the house to get her coat and shoes and took her. The whole time she was acting sane and sober but did say a few things like ...to the jist of..."satans forces of evil keep attacking me/ our faith" So they took her away. She's also an author of a few religious books. So believing in God is now a crime eh? Also said something about her not letting family members in the house because of something or other, so they left and called in a medical-hold. Sounds like she needs to cut those fam members off.... or maybe she's crazy. Who knows?

WASILLA, Alaska (KTUU) - Mary Fulp, a long-time Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District principal, posted a livestream video on her Facebook page Wednesday night that has now gotten more than 19,000 views.
Fulp, who was named Principal of the Year in Alaska in 2022, chronicled her trip to Mat-Su Regional Medical Center for what troopers explained was a court-ordered evaluation, requested by her family.
In the video, which runs approximately 20 minutes, Fulp says her religious convictions are the reason she is being evaluated.
“I am getting taken to the hospital for claiming that Jesus is king and claiming that I stand with the Martin Luther King civil rights movement,” Fulp said. “So I would like this to show up in the news, and for this to go viral, because I am the 2022 Alaska Principal of the Year who loves Jesus with all her heart.”

The school district put out a letter to parents and staff after the video was posted on Fulp’s Facebook page Wednesday night.
“I am writing in response to some personal social media posts authored by the Colony High School Principal,” Superintendent Randy Trani wrote. “District Administration is fully aware of, and constantly monitoring, the situation. We are working directly with other CHS administrators to support and provide continued leadership for the CHS community as we progress through this process.
“We do not have any further information to provide at this time, but will keep you informed as consistent with confidentiality requirements. Your child’s safety and education are our top priorities as we work through this matter.”
Fulp’s family also released a statement.

“We love and care for Mary deeply, and we are working with medical professionals to ensure she receives the necessary care. We hope the community will respect her and her family’s privacy,” the statement read.

Be careful out there, y'all. Communication... isn't happening anymore. I don't know if this will describe it well, but it's like talking to people has only become an opportunity to tell people what they were already thinking, or a chance for others to figure out "what's wrong with you" for not saying what they're already thinking.

Wise as serpents, gentle as doves. And let's please pray for this principal, she will need them one way or the other.

The judge that ordered that psych hold needs reviewed, censured or recalled and possibly sued depending on what information they used in ordering that hold.

Typically there's a danger to the public or self factor involved. "Crazy" (I'm not saying she is) alone in itself, isn't (shouldn't) be enough to get a hold like that violating her 4th amendment rights.

We see *zero* evidence of that here warranting a med hold, but we see only one side of the story, her family may have presented evidence of suicide or threats (maybe she swallowed a bunch of pills) although I'm doubtful any such evidence exists.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ has been spread to such an extent that anyone who wants it can get it, pretty much. With some exceptions like in totalitarian areas like China, though even then it's still often available. Perhaps it's time to pull back and focus more on helping people who come to us.

State troopers, misled by false court order, detained school principal for mental health check • Alaska Beacon

State troopers mistakenly took Alaska’s 2022 Principal of the Year into custody for a mental health examination last week after a family member presented troopers with a document they said was signed by a state judge.
That wasn’t true, and Troopers and the Alaska Court System confirmed the mistake Tuesday, six days after Colony Middle School Principal Mary Fulp posted a video of the incident and claimed that she was being detained because of her religious beliefs.
James Cockrell, commissioner of the Alaska Department of Public Safety, has ordered a full internal review of the incident, the department said.
“Based on the limited information we have been able to learn about this incident from the Alaska Court System it appears that we made a mistake by transporting the adult female for an evaluation. Our staff should have taken additional steps to verify the information presented by the complainant and the validity of the court order,” Cockrell said in a written statement. “We take full responsibility for this and want to assure the public that we are taking necessary steps to ensure that incidents like this never happen again. This type of situation is unacceptable, and you have my commitment that we will do better.”
After Anchorage’s KTUU-TV published a story about the video, Rep. David Eastman, R-Wasilla, and Sen. Shelley Hughes, R-Palmer, spoke in the state Legislature about the issue.
“The court did not issue any order to take Ms. Fulp into custody, or to detain her, or to have her undergo a hospitalization for any reason,” said Rebecca Koford, a spokesperson for the court system, in a Tuesday email responding to the KTUU story. “The actions by law enforcement in this instance were not undertaken or carried out pursuant to or as a result of any court order.”
Hours later, the Alaska State Troopers issued a written account of events on Jan. 18 that saw Fulp escorted to a Matanuska-Susitna Borough hospital for a mental health evaluation.
According to their account, troopers received a call Wednesday morning, requesting a welfare check on Fulp.
State law permits police and mental health experts to hold someone involuntarily if they are “likely to cause serious harm to self or others” immediately.
Troopers responded and determined that she didn’t meet the conditions for emergency mental health custody. Hours later, a second caller said they had a written order from a judge agreeing that Fulp should be taken into custody in order to have her mental health evaluated.
“Troopers observed that the document appeared to be signed by a judge and appeared to be valid,” the official account states.
On Friday, the Beacon, citing a tip that claimed the order was false, requested copies of the court order and was informed that state law holds those records confidential and the request “will likely be denied.”
According to the Troopers’ account, “On Friday, January 20, 2023, it was brought to the attention of the Alaska Department of Public Safety that the documents … presented to Troopers may not have been a court order authorizing the involuntary commitment of the adult female. DPS Commissioner Cockrell ordered a full review of the incident.”
The court system denied the Troopers’ request to examine the documents associated with the incident, but the court system’s statement on Tuesday confirmed the mistake.
“With this new information Troopers now believe that the document that was presented to Troopers … was not a valid court order for involuntary commitment,” the Troopers said.
A spokesperson for the Department of Public Safety declined to say whether the family member deliberately falsified documents or whether the mistake was innocent error. The spokesperson also declined to say whether charges are pending.

All Christians and Jews must be forever on their guard. The World is their enemy, and will lie, cheat, steal, persecute, and kill them. Satan and Evil are real, and stalk the world, seeking whomever may be devoured. As God (The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit) use us as God’s Hands, so too does Satan suborn, enslave, and control people. It is because of this, that no Child of God should ever be without protection. That is why I tell people to pack heavy, and walk light. Remember, if you’re dead and in Heaven, you’re no earthly good…

This would be the perfect time to show Christ's love and forgive everybody involved.

I would suggest she fail miserably at that and SUE everybody involved.

The hard part for me to understand is how a private citizen can present ANYTHING to a Leo and said Leo does anything regarding another person rights or property.

It should go from court to police.

NOT court to citizen to police.

Like Oprah might say: "Everybody gets sued!"

Eta: Don't start quoting scripture about forgiving, not suing, or rendering unto Ceasar. The only way to make things better is to make government pay. Well, violence usually effects change but that's frowned on. ;)

People Relatives will do this to you.

They are capable of doing much worse than just trying to Baker Act her into some baked Alaskan holding facility.

Whoever her kinfolk enemy is that orchestrated this is not done playing cat and mouse with her life. Utterly wicked people.

The state troopers were accessories to a clear 4th Amendment violation.

Sadly, many could point to wicked family members.
Policies&procedures should prevent the "state's" participation.

Weaponization of mental holds or "Red flag laws" should not be tolerated.

Better yet this should be grounds to eradicate them as a tool in our country.

(I have heard of men "committing their unwanted wife" a century ago)

The scales of justice have been AND STILL are a joke...

Sorry to hear this as I thought Palmer was a better place than this type of blue state foolishness that goes on in the lower 48

My Grandfather's brother died in the Easter 64 quake and is buried in Pioneer Cemetery in Palmer.

She sounded lucid to me. The school board probably wants an Indigenous administrator and she is being pushed to early retire.

Anything involving schools now is a hot potato.

So, obviously a back story here.
I wonder if the cops have arrested the parties who presented the forged docs that got this avalanche rolling.
Do you think she's picked out the county she wants as repartions?

Pick your friends and family carefully. Avoid those that are suspect. A principle of a school and loving and knowing and doing Gods work ... Do not go together. Demons Have taken over the education system. They believe in the not-science men can be women and women men. So who’s crazy.

She should sue them into retirement
