An enraged Jeremiah Payne told supporters in a Thursday livestream that he wanted at least 150 supporters to show up at a scheduled court hearing with Clarksville Child Protective Services to counter apparent efforts by CPS to take his seven-year-old daughter away.
Payne had earlier released a video of his wife’s phone call with a representative of Clarksville CPS, apparently recorded earlier that day. On that call, the representative told the Paynes that due to Jeremiah Payne’s use of social media and YouTube to threaten and attack CPS workers, they no longer felt safe dealing with Jeremiah Payne in his home.
Because of this, the worker said that a court date, which Payne redacted from the video, was set for Montgomery County court for a hearing between CPS and the Paynes to go over their case rather than the planned walk through and interview of Payne’s daughter.
The text on the video indicated that Jeremiah Payne felt that the court case, which he said was an open investigation of neglect and abuse of his daughter, was in retaliation for his social media and YouTube posts.
As previously reported, Payne has been very active on YouTube in relation to his on-going problems with CPS as they’ve handled complaints about the Payne family protests on the side of the road in downtown Nashville.
Payne’s recent focus has been on the idea that the complaints themselves were made by Clarksville’s police department in an on-going harassment campaign against the family for their on-going anti-police protests.
Standing across the street from a busy playground and splashpad, where his daughter was playing with friends, Payne returned to the idea that all parents who brought their children out to the playground on a hot day should also face CPS investigations.
The balding YouTuber went into his now-standard claim that there was no difference between children running around a playground on a hot day and him bringing his daughter to his anti-police protests in the same conditions along busy streets in Clarksville.
Payne revealed that he was currently unemployed by he would soon be moving his family from Clarksville to Nashville as he has a job offer in Nashville. Neither of the Paynes have valid driver’s licenses and they can frequently be seen walking along the highways in the area, pulling their dog Skittles and daughter in a wagon.
Indicating that the court hearing was being held in regular criminal court and not family court, Payne reflected on a previous hearing where he had 80 people show up as character witnesses and they “threw the case out.”
Payne did not provide the location or court date for his demanded 150 supporters to attend the hearing.
The YouTuber asked for his fans to like and share all of his videos but warned his detractors that YouTube itself was actively monitoring his YouTube comments and it was YouTube, not Payne, who removed anything deemed “slanderous.”
He then made a pitch for donations as he had been using the Attorney Shield service for legal advice but needed to raise money for a local attorney. Payne indicated that his e-mail account was no longer working and just to make donations to his PayPal and CashApp accounts.
Payne ended the stream with a warning that none of the reports about him online were true and “none of the assholes had ever been right about what they said about him.” He indicated that people were just starting drama to start drama and shouted out all the “trolls” who he imagined were currently restreaming his video.
The livestream has been viewed 676 times and has had 26 likes since Payne went live. There are no comments on the video.
