“Dr. Candice Matthews, stay out of our business with DFPS and HHSC ‘N-word’. If you don’t, we will use this rope and drag you like James Byrd,” the letter read.
SPRING, Texas — Dr. Candice Matthews wears many hats in her community from being an activist, to State Chair of the Texas Coalition of Black Democrats.
“I’m also a provider with the Texas Department of Health and Human Services and I also have a contract with DFPS as a child-placing agency,” said Dr. Matthews.
This is why finding a handwritten letter and rope tied into a noose in her mailbox came as a surprise Sunday morning.
The letter had references to both the Department of Family Protective Services and Health and Human Services.
“Dr. Candice Matthews, stay out of our business with DFPS and HHSC ‘N-word’. If you don’t, we will use this rope and drag you like James Byrd,” the letter read.
“F-you N-word and N-word providers, you have been warned N-word,” read the remainder of the letter.
Dr. Matthews believes this is a result of her recent work.
“I’ve been exposing, doing exposés HHSC and DFPS for over a month and a half in reference to dealing with crimes against children, and how I was able to find out about it was because the children were reaching out to me via social media,” said Dr. Matthews.
A motive has yet to be determined.
“My family is very upset behind this, this is unacceptable and I feel some kind of way about it and I’m highly pissed off,” she said.
The hats the community leader wears she said will remain on, in a fight for justice and equality for all.
“I want people to do right by children, I want people to do right by the providers who are helping these kids, level the playing field and cut the racist crap,” said Dr. Matthews.
