Sometimes, the stories Echo unearths are too absurd to be true.
Like children being held hostage from their families
or
A care providers driving all six of her residents to her court hearing about her suspended drivers license.
Simply, sadly, true.
PART II
Entire Account as presented by:
Yaeesha Featherstone told Ringwood police she had no other options — she couldn’t find a supervisor and couldn’t miss the court date. An officer confirmed with a Bellwether supervisor by phone that Featherstone “was the only staff to watch the residents at that home and was left with no choice but to transport them with a suspended license,” the police report said.

In our search, Echo found that, Featherstone has accumulated the following charges:
| Code | 39:3-40 |
|---|---|
| Description | DRIVING ON THE REVOKED LIST |
| Code | 2C:29-3B(4) |
|---|---|
| Description | HINDERING-ONESELF-GIVE FALSE INFORMATION |
| Code | 2C:28-4A |
|---|---|
| Description | FALSE REPORTS TO LAW ENFORCMNT-FLSLY INCRIM OTR |
Echo hasn't found the record of the disposition of these charges to date. They may have been pled down, thrown out, found innocent or guilty, time served, freed, etc. Yet, we now know that some one lacking the legal confidence to drive put loved ones on a van and gave them a tour of the judicial system. Echo has been unable to cull from online files why Featherstone had her license suspended initially. However arrest records for a similar looking Yaeesha Shavonne Featherstone date back to at least 2016. If one and the same, Bellwether may be culpable, in our opinion, in performing inadequate background checks. The North Jersey Record agrees,
"Criminal background checks were not documented for all Bellwether staff..."And this is just another simply sad truth, another notch their belt for Bellwether and the organization from which it was borne, Advoserv and Au Clair.
