I went through the same.Their are state family laews on the
internet.Go through them,believe me,it makes a huge difference.you
will understand what the lawyer and judge are saying and you'll know
when to object.aslo,when you file with the court or while you'r in
court.Ask the judge to give you a copy or report of all charges or
complaints about you that the lawyer is says.contine to do
this.whenever the lawyer says something is not true.sounds stupid i
know.however its just like the delay tactics the lawyer uses.if he
has no evidence the judge will have to tell him to not bring anymore
alligations into court with out proff.this will not happen over
night.when the judge goes for one of the delay tricks,be sure to ask
for some type of visit.tell the judge that you are willing to do
supervisored visits.not what you want,but if you keep restating
this.judge has to give you so type of visit if their is no
proff.also go to the local socil services and ask them to
investatgate you.tell them why.that you want the report sent to the
judge.alot of this may sound crazy,but it works.been their and done

HI,
Thanks for checking up on me - I was out of town and just got back
in. As for the interview, it went like this.
I spoke with several people in the organizations that help people
with CPS - one of them was an attorney in Grand Ledge who, after
talking to me, suggested I let them in the house, talk to them and
recognize that yes, I should not have let my kids that far before
calling the police and that yes, they should have known thier
address and telephone and that yes, I will make improvements to
this. I was really scared, but when the lady came to my door, I went
out and said that I was quite worried about letting her in because i
heard some really nasty stuff about CPS, but, per an attorney
advice, I'm going to let her in, anyway.
She came in, asked us the routine name/age/work/etc etc stuff. Then
she asked about my different cats, then talked for a bit about her
experiance in law school (I noticed she had JD behind her name and
since I'm hoping to attend Cooley in the upcoming months, I asked
her about it). After about 10 minutes of chatting, she finally asked
what happend with the kids. I told her the truth about what happened
and included in that that the kids, since the incidence, have
learned thier address and phone number and we've locked up the bikes
so that they can't get access without help and we realize just how
scarey this was, how much damage could have been done and that never
again will we wait an hour to call for help. The worker then said
she was very pleased with our plan for improvement, immediatly
packed up her stuff and said "have fun this summer, you won't be
hearing from me or the agency again" and showed her way out the
door - it's been about 2 1/2 weeks and I haven't heard anything -
hopefully it'll stay like that. I don't know why they didn't pick on
me but either way, I still think the system needs fixed, here in MI,
and in all the other states. I hope I can help out PFC - if there's
ever a rally or protest, don't hesistate to contact me.

The same theory underlines both CPS cases and divorce custody cases, destroy families to creat a need in the court to obtain federal dollars for state court ordered programs. The more need created by the courts, the more federal dollars the state receives. Our states have created a real money making monster through the court system. Our government has created some kind of model parent that we are to conform to and when we don;t conform, we are stripped of our parental rights to our children. Our children are then given to our ex-spouse, relatives or perfect strangers whom the state deems as fitting the state's model parent. Sounds creepy but that's what seems to be happening across our county in each individual state. Our government is playing god. Picking and chosing who the perfect parents our children will be raised by. Our states and federal governments have no right to play god on our families. Janet

Did you know that there are over 28 million parents who are bereaved of their children in the U S alone?
Yet everyday parents, men and women alike, sit and watch highly elect- able pretty polished politicians passionately wax eloquent about freedom and liberty for countries whose names we can not pronounce while divorced American parents sit alone stripped of their family and finances?
We see mainstream politicians talk about protecting the rights of imprisoned
terrorists while everyday they let honest American parents get robbed and illegally imprisoned in debtor's prison.
Concerned political experts do not want you to throw away your vote on a spoiler but they voice no concern over the millions of parents who throw away their lives and commit suicide because they are bereaved of their children.
Pseudo-intellectuals would have you to be concerned about ozone and taxes while divorced parents are made homeless and destitute by biased judges whose only concern is federal reimbursements for oppressive support demands.
Some humanitarians pride themselves for forgiving Africa's debt and providing relief for homeless flood victims in Asia, but what about relieving and forgiving indebted homeless American divorced parents?
Some leaders would have you marching in the street to protect the family from homosexual marriage but they will not utter one word about
the annihilation of heterosexual marriage by a fifty-percent divorce rate.
Parenting rights effects everybody. Children, grandparents, "second" wives, "second" husbands as well as the divorced parents themselves.
After laboring hard in school and in their businesses, practices and jobs many people, business men and women and employees wake up to find their family and their finances ravaged by corrupt judges even after spending thousands of dollars on "good" attorneys.
We find no fair portrayal of our plight by the media.
We find no champion for our cause among the refined, articulate and picture perfect federal politicians.
We find the parent's rights groups fractured and under funded.
We need a Jessie Jackson to espouse civil rights for parents.
We need a Rosa Parks to say I am not going to accept you treating me as a second class citizen anymore.
Divorced parents need to develop a
clear concise voting block each election cycle rather than "throw away" our votes and money on politicians who will not even acknowledge the existence of over 28 million parents who are bereaved of their children.
Can this be done?
Well if there were over 28 million disgruntled parents pushing your buttons, would you jump?
We need to confront political candidates on these issues.
Martin Luther King never won a political office yet his individual stand avalanched into a huge change for civil rights in America because he caused everyone to focus by putting a face on the just cause of civil rights.
State by state judicial reform could take a lifetime.
Case by case individual battles have gotten us no where.
Just as African-Americans needed a national level civil rights act, parents need a national level Equal Parenting and Custody Act.
We will all hang together or we will continue
to be hung separately.
Twenty years from now will you be a civil rights hero, or will you have to tell people you just sat on your hands in the back of the bus while your manhood/womanhood and your civil rights were stripped away?
Joyce is right. This system is all about money. The more cases a state can generate, the more federal dollars the state will receive to keep its children's protective servces programs alive. CPS picks the most vulnerable, low income or persons with limited means, to perpetuate its programs. The end product is destroying families and chidlren physically, mentally and emotionally in the name of protecting children. You will have to work hard in your own case. You will have to complete your court ordered agency agreement for services to get your kids back. But you can still organize or get involved with a group advocating for change. Organizing and picketing calling for change is your constitutional right and it is the only language the judges and politicians know when their dirty laundry is out in the street for all to see. Keeping your case and yourself isolated will not help you. You only give the system the very fuel that it needs to destroy you and your family.
You're not the only one that is being affected by this corrupt money making system. Organizing with others who are being affected is the only way to fight this system. Janet

Hello, and I read your letter with disbelief and horror. (that is the treatment and facts brought against you as a mother)
I do not know your
name...and really feel as though you have been cornered, and shafted.
This has become the norm in our society, and although it is injustice, biased and can be proven in the court, if and when someone takes the case and fights for your rights-you will not be able to have fair and impartial treatment.
In order to fight for a case, you have to have funds, and as a mother, working full time, I can not even afford an attorney (one that can do a excellent job-not just a paper pusher) myself or suggest anything other than what I found available.
I suggest a few things, given I am not a lawyer or know all the laws, but I do know that you need to work with other parents and bring together the 'raw' deal in which you have become familiar with in your situation, to the surface.
Its a lot of work, and takes studying and hours of searching, but you can do it.
Write to the Congress, make complaints, find the laws in your area and work with them. Understand Prop 59, U. S. Constitutional, your civil liberties, your States Family Code and submit documents into court. There are services that offer free consultation in your state, find them, get with an attorney for information, how to file documents, how to present yourself and what to do. I have addresses for you in case you would like to write and locate someone that would direct you in the right direction. Again, I am not a lawyer, by far, could not rape or rob from someone in need....but I am in the same boat as you, fighting for justice.
Support groups and writing is what I have done....plus you might try to find someone like, Victim
Witness Program, to assist in discovery, or help heal you in the process. Meaning, Healing as a good thing, and someone to listen to you and stick up for you when you need it.
I have spoken to a man that had this happen recently, he had lost his son to the courts, under very cruel and biased means, his son today resides with him, and has nothing to do with his mother. Just remember that your children have been forced into something that is out of their control, and they have to conform to their new environment to survive. But that does not mean that they will forget about you, ever. They will some day be able to come home.....just keep that hope alive and so all that you can to stay connected. Write to them, but copy the letters you send for evidence, when they are older and ask why you never wrote-you will be able to show them how much you cared....
Stay strong and gather friends, family and others that are going through what you have gone through........
Last and not least, get the information out, take out the emotions in your letter, build proof and start looking for others connected to your case....that includes doctors, child care, personal letters from people that know you (make sure to submit with Under the state of ..... , perjury....true and correct... Speak to the school that your children attend, and get them to send you report cards....
Ask someone in the courts, by going there and signing up for help with your case, more direction....other things that you may be able to do....anything that will keep you on the right track, and would bring peace of mind that you did everything available in order to make it right.
Don't get hopes up further than what would be reality...the courts do not work like they were intended to.
I will listen to you and help the best I can.......and wish you strength and an angel to be on your side-for the love and nurture of having your children back in your arms.....
Sincerely,
Joyce Welsh

Writing letters is too passive. It is one voice that the reader can easily ignore or discount and degrade. You need to organize a group of persons in your situation and take your message to the street in front of the courthouse or state capitol. Then they will be forced to listen to your message. Your protests must be peaceful, people holding signs and passing out literature condemning judicial and child protective services practices, outlining the wrongs that have been practiced. Public protest has always worked throughout the years, the civil rights marches, the womens sufferage movement, are just a few examples. Janet

Signs and pickets at the courthouse and the state capitol are the only messages that judges and legislators understand. When their livelihood is on the chop block, that when they will respond by changing the system. Throwing their dirty laundry out into the street for the whole constiuency to see is the only language they understand. Its worked here in Michigan in several counties. Public outrage really shakes them up and gets them to conform. Janet

I got my mother on the phone to ask her if it was too soon to bug the police - she said no, call now and I hung up and started to call the police station.
In that same hour, the police got 2 calls during this time about my boys riding on the
road with their bikes and through a busy intersection to get to Rite Aid. The police picked up the kids and brought them home to me, pulling up in my drive just as I dialed the police for help.

This group was designed to help parents with emotional support and to create a kind of a think tank to families in court proceedings. Asking for money to hire an attorney is highly inappropriate in this talk group forum. Please do not ask for money. Everyone here has no extra money to spare and it detracts from the focus of this group. Janet

You may remember a case from about four years ago, in which a widow and single mother, asked Human Health Services for help in getting her children on Medicaid. Instead of doing their jobs and giving them the help they needed, Children's Protective Services (CPS) filed a Child In Need Of Services (CHINS act) order using her own words that she needed help, against her, and took her son from her.
They were only after the Widow and Survivor benefits and the proof being, they didn't take the second child as she received no check, as she had a different father. They stalked her day and night physically and on the internet. However, the mother never gave up
trying and in the interim got fired two pubic defenders, a case worker and her supervisor from practicing in that county. She proved Malicious Prosecution, Collusion and Conspiracy between the fired individuals. She won her child back, but the damage had already been done. Due to the brainwashing, the child was told his mother never loved him that she only wanted his check, he now has emotional problems they are trying to deal with. Due to the drugs administered to keep him quiet, he is suffering from an irregular heart, and muscle lesions. From the "hoop jumping she had to do, it left them financially devasted and with the lack of income the family lost their farm, vehicles, pets, and of course had sold all of their belongings to fight CPS.
Now, CPS (known as DYS in her current state of residence), is going after her again in retaliation for her proving them malicious. This family has a wonderful case and a
great attorney ready to help her prove malicious intent. When she wins, it will set precedence for all of us in the future. It will prove that no one can come in and interrogate and abuse our children for their own financial benefits, and stop the grazing for children in the name of funding for their offices.
We NEED to help her afford this attorney so she can get the case started.
This is the same mother, who over the years, has been instrumental in the return of many children by working countless hours for many of us in the same situation, and has never asked for anything in return.
Keep in your heart, this quote from Edmund Burke: "All that is necessary for evil to succeed, is that good men do nothing."
Won't you please help in this cause, and donate $1.00 or more to her defense fund. She is more than willing to inform you of more on this cause if you wish to speak with her. Please follow this

Did you know that there are over 28 million parents who are bereaved
of their children in the U S alone?
Yet everyday parents, men and women alike, sit and watch highly elect-
able pretty polished politicians passionately wax eloquent about
freedom and liberty for countries whose names we can not pronounce
while divorced American parents sit alone stripped of their family
and finances?
We see mainstream politicians talk about protecting the rights of
imprisoned terrorists while everyday they let honest American parents
get robbed and illegally imprisoned in debtor's prison.
Concerned political experts do not want you to throw away your vote
on a spoiler but they voice no concern over the millions of parents
who throw away their lives and commit suicide because they are
bereaved of their children.
Pseudo-intellectuals would have you to be concerned about ozone and
taxes while divorced parents are made homeless and destitute by
biased judges whose only concern is federal reimbursements for
oppressive support demands.
Some humanitarians pride themselves for forgiving Africa's debt and
providing relief for homeless flood victims in Asia, but what about
relieving and forgiving indebted homeless American divorced parents?
Some leaders would have you marching in the street to protect the
family from homosexual marriage but they will not utter one word
about the annihilation of heterosexual marriage by a fifty-percent
divorce rate.
Parenting rights effects everybody. Children, grandparents, "second"
wives, "second" husbands as well as the divorced parents themselves.
After laboring hard in school and in their businesses, practices and
jobs many people, business men and women and employees wake up to
find their family and their finances ravaged by corrupt judges even
after spending thousands of dollars on "good" attorneys.
We find no fair portrayal of our plight by the media.
We find no champion for our cause among the refined, articulate and
picture perfect federal politicians.
We find the parent's rights groups fractured and under funded.
We need a Jessie Jackson to espouse civil rights for parents.
We need a Rosa Parks to say I am not going to accept you treating me
as a second class citizen anymore.
Divorced parents need to develop a clear concise voting block each
election cycle rather than "throw away" our votes and money on
politicians who will not even acknowledge the existence of over 28
million parents who are bereaved of their children.
Can this be done?
Well if there were over 28 million disgruntled parents pushing your
buttons, would you jump?
We need to confront political candidates on these issues.
Martin Luther King never won a political office yet his individual
stand avalanched into a huge change for civil rights in America
because he caused everyone to focus by putting a face on the just
cause of civil rights.
State by state judicial reform could take a lifetime.
Case by case individual battles have gotten us no where.
Just as African-Americans needed a national level civil rights act,
parents need a national level Equal Parenting and Custody Act.
We will all hang together or we will continue to be hung separately.
Twenty years from now will you be a civil rights hero, or will you
have to tell people you just sat on your hands in the back of the bus
while your manhood/womanhood and your civil rights were stripped
away?

Damn Straight it is an option! Do not answer the door!!!
So my million dollar question to Officer Dumba$$, is this.....if they didn't know their address and you had not yet called them, how'd he find your home? DUH!
OMG I hate cops. Funny statement to come from someone who's best friend is a cop. But it is true. lol But so is my abusive ex, so I can tell you loads about cops. Too many are out there for all the wrong reasons!
You have now learned a valuable lesson. Next time the kids disappear, you call 911 immediately. As for CFS....it will probably be written off without a visit. They have 10 days to respond and investigate. if they do ignore them. They have NOTHING on you.
Good Luck and Hug those babies tight.

Hi, I found the partens for children website and thought i'd join the group - first I'm here cause I need some general advice, but also, I want to help fight for changes in the system - the articles I read on the abuse by FIA is just amazingly sick. Anyway, here's my story: Here's my story: This saturday morning, at 9am, My 2 boys, 6 and 8, decided on thier own to take off down the road on thier bikes to the pharmacy to buy paper. They have never left the front of our house on thier bikes, and that saturday they were playing in the back yard, as usual, and decided on a spur to take off. I noticed they were gone within 10 - 15 minutes and immediatly starting searching the huge subdivision with over 200 houses in it and lots of streets. At first I thought they were on foot and had went to garage sales just a block away or something and probably heehawinga around or are lost ( I don't let them go out of yard without a parent, but if they were going to take off, that would be my first guess) when I came back from searching to switch with my husband for him to go out and search for them, I noticed the bikes were gone. Still, I really never thought of looking down the busy street where the local stores are since it seemed most likely that they were lost in a large subdivision, not run off down the road they have never been down. I thought there was no way they'd even try it - too scared for sure! (wrong!) All this happened in the same hour - and during that hour, one of us stayed home incase the boys came back, and one of us went out driving up and down the streets, asking nieghbors, blowing a whistle and searching for the kids. At one point I decide to see if, just by a fat chance, they did cross the street and go down the road on the bike trail - I took the car and went, but didn't see them or thier bikes, so I came back home and my husband took off
to continue searching the immediate area. I got my mother on the phone to ask her if it was too soon to bug the police - she said no, call now and I hung up and started to call the police station.
In that same hour, the police got 2 calls during this time about my boys riding on the road with their bikes and through a busy intersection to get to Rite Aid. The police picked up the kids and brought them home to me, pulling up in my drive just as I dialed the police for help. Yes, we waited an hour to pick up the phone to call the police as we didn't want to go over board and thought they would tell us 24 hours must go by anyway. The officer brought up a few concerns - here they are and my answer: 1. The kids took off on thier own and I didn't call right away for help- my answer was that I never expected them to cross onto the busy street and thought they were just lost in the subdivision - and I was calling right as they pulled up. 2. The kids didn't know traffic safety for bike riding - my answer was OF course they don't, we don't take them down that busy street, they are TOO young! They only ride right in front of our idle street, with us watching - basically circles in the driveway. 3. the kids didn't know thier address and phone number: My answer - we just bought our house in March and they know parts of it, they are working on it, I can't MAKE them learn it faster than thier little brains allow. I've never had MIchigan's CPS/FIA to my house before this time. I was told by the officer that they had to call CPS due to them getting more than 1 call on this, they got 2 calls about the boys in the street- how worried should I be and, should I not let them in? I'm worried that not letting them in will lead to them harrassing us more,. And that hiring an attorney before they even get out here will make them think we have something to be worrie
d about - we don't, other than them, the CPS. We are located in Okemos, MI, Ingrahm county. I stay at home with the boys and my husband works. We are young parents - 25 & 26, but live in the middle class part of Okemos. I only say this because I don't think we'd come off as easy targets in the way of not being able to defend our selfs. I know friends of mine in other states have been really harrassed and we really think it's because they came off not wealthy enough to hire an attorney - because as soon as the friend told the agency she wouldn't talk to them without an attorney present, they left her alone. Anyway, I don't have the money either for an attorney but you know what I mean, they target anything that might be low income and I think we come off as just average middle class young parents. Please advise - part of me says to just be cordial and go outside to talk to them and tell them the same story as what's on the report and then part says, don't even answer the door if they come. Is not answering the door an option?

When I wrote my letters like this, I got responses back. My responses said the same thing. We will not get involved in any family court matter nor will we influence the judges decision. What do you think of that?
An order of removal was signed to remove my niece Geneva Johnson from the premises of her grandmother Annie Lackey on 2/2/05 base on a lie by an ACS case worker (Angelica Reyes). It was determined that an emergency removal was necessary because the case worker claimed that her grandmother exhibits bizarre behavior; and the absence of furniture in her home with the exception of a dresser and a few chairs.
Supervising Judge Susan Knipps of family court (60 Lafayette st) signed the emergency removal order for Geneva Johnson with insufficient proof and no professional testimony, no legal representation or examination of the alleged victim who was 13 at the time. In fact on 2/3/05 the next day the Judge did not allow Geneva to speak in court, and her Law guardian (Natalie Albert) did not represent Geneva's best interest in court concerning the innocence of her grandmother. Instead they plotted to place her into a DRC facility and have her mentally evaluated and medicated. The Judge violated Family court act 1028 by directing Ms. Lackey's newly appointed attorney Ms. Baronoff not to have the 72 hour hearing that she is entitled to get Geneva back home.
In fact no family resource was contacted nor were any services offered as required by the NYS family court act to avoid removal of Geneva or placement into foster care. Ms. Lackey and Geneva are both dedicated Christians ofJehovah witnesses and neither has any history of mental illness, abuse or criminal activity. On 2/17/05 I went to family court with the hopes to get Geneva placed into my care until this tragedy passed over. I was informed by Angelica Reyes and Natalie Albert: "that the only way I can get Geneva placed into my custodyis to go thru an ICPC which can take upwards from anywhere to 3 to 6 months and until then she will have to remain in foster care."
I knew what they were telling me did not make any sense; we're living in America, and the law cannot possibly be that screwed up, I remembered reasoning to my self. I next challenged the allegations against my mother and asked for an explanation. I was informed that my mother was believed to be mentally ill and my niece was removed for imminentrisk to life and health. I immediately asked for their proof to this ridiculous allegation and they replied it was confidential and that I'm not a party to this case (docket no: N-1301/05 NYS family court 60 Lafayette st.).
The Judge informed my mother that she and Geneva will have to see the court psychiatrist to determine her mental status if she wants her granddaughter back. Ms. Lackey never has been to a clinical psychiatrist, thus withoutprofessional diagnosis what is the basis for the Judge to account for an assessment? Ms. Lackey will not comply with the Judge's wishes because it's obvious that the courts doctors will find an unfavorable diagnosis to support the courts claims especially since the removable was done on very deliberate and questionable grounds. The burden of proof should fall on the accuser not the accused.
On 3/24/05Elvis Liburd and Robert Griffith of the dept. of social services petitioned the Supreme Court ex parte motion part (index 400985/05) for an order to gain access into Ms. Lackey's home. They claimed that she was mentally impaired and exhibits psychotic, paranoid, schizophrenic behavior and that she has auditory hallucinations amongst other things. On 3/30/05 Mr. Griffith and 6 NYPD officers and a psychiatrist showed up at Ms. Lackey's residence in a failed attempt to force my mother into psychiatric care. I immediately went down to confront Mr. Griffith about the fictitious claim he bought against my mother and threatened the dept. of Social Services with a lawsuit. They later dropped their case against my mother (foajm.2645851). I later discovered that I can apply for legal guardianship for Geneva; a right that was deliberately withheld from me by ACS, family court and Geneva's law guardian.
On 6/13/05 I was denied the right to file for legal guardianship for my niece Geneva by family court clerk Thomas O'Connor who I immediately reported to the inspector general office with no satisfaction till this date in writing. During Geneva's stay in foster care,ACS has failed to enroll her into school or provide home schooling for her. In fact Geneva has been neglected and abused in most of the foster homes they placed her in; all her cries for help fell upon deaf ears when those crimes were properly reported to ACS officials, her law guardian, and the mayor's office. I have even written to the Governor's office, John Mattingly (ACS), the Mayor, various politicians and all law enforcement agencies on her behalf and explained in full detail about the seriousness of the crimes and the abuse that she is suffering each day; nobody did anything.
Geneva grew tired of the educational neglect and the lack of help she was receiving from those who were supposed to be protecting her. It really bothered her that she has been to court more than 18 times and was not allowed to have a voice in court from the Judge even though she is now 14 years old. She was concerned as to why her fact finding hearing did not start as of yet and she grew weary of the psychological conditioning that they were subjecting on her each day. Geneva decided to leave ACS custody after a failed rape attempt at one of their facilities. She returned back to the safety of her family late in the summer of 2005 to escape the many abuses she endured during her tenure in ACS care.
On 12/19/05 ACS workers Sophia Nunez, Michael Navas and 6 officers from NYPD came to Ms. Lackey's residents and forcibly removed Geneva, painfully handcuffing her in the process while refusing to present or leave the court order they claim they had to justify their actions. Geneva knew she had to get away from this callous agency that did nothing but abuse her and try to force medication on her. She returned home to her Grandmother the next day and went to the hospital for her sore wrist and shortness of breath and filed a complaint against the police officers. A little over a week later on the 28th ACS worker Charles Emanuel along with officers from NYPD Came to Ms. Lackeys home to remove Geneva. This time Ms. Lackey refuse to open the door until they show their court order, instead they chose to break down the door and swarm into her apartment. P.O. Pitts (shield # 2457) threatened to shoot Ms. Lackey on the spot if she moved and ordered her to shut up and get off the phone. Ms. Lackey refused because she was calling for help. The officers began to push her around and then P.O. Cano(shield # 8153) pulled the phone wire out of the wall then pushed Ms. Lackey who is 64 years old out into her hallway barefoot.
Geneva was in the bathroom taking a bath when this entire ruckus started. She was frozen and very scared and did not want to leave her grandmother. Geneva was ordered out the bathroom by the responding officers and she informed them that she was in the bathtub. Next, under Sgt. Caruso command, a Swat team from the 19th precinct with laser guided weapons and full body armor bust down the door and pulled Geneva NAKED out of the tub in full view of the 20 or more police officer's and the ACS worker, all who were MEN. The officers then painfully handcuffed Geneva and wrapped some sheets around her out of the linen closets and marched her away barefoot in the dead of winter crying like she's a savage animal or some crazed killer. Next, they took her to MetropolitanHospital where they injected her with some type of medication while she is still handcuffed with her hands behind her back. Then they put her into a straight jacket and placed her into a psych ward at a DRC facility on 17th street & 2nd ave. The cowardly, thuggish and terrorizing actions of the police officers were reported to the civilian complaint review board (case # 200515422), Internal Affairs, the Mayors office, the Governors office, Don Mattingly (ACS), Robert Morgenthau-District Attorney, FBI, Rep. Carolyn Maloney and a host of others. Nobody did anything but just let the case die down.
Geneva continued to stand firm and returned home to her grandmother on the 30th of December, 2 days after her tragic ordeal. She wrote letters to the Mayor pleading for help, and got nothing, no satisfaction, not even a reply. On 5/7/06 they came back again and took her upstate and locked her up in some type of mental institution. Why is New York City government protecting ACS and Family Court for the obvious crimes they have committed? How many innocent children and parents are subjected to psychiatric evaluation; and are unnecessarily administered mood- stabilizing drugs as a condition to retain the rights of their children?
ACS and Family court is being run like a plantation. It's a profit-driven industry, a subtle continuation of institutionalized slavery which violates the 13th amendment against slavery and involuntary servitude. Family court has been used to "legalize" this racketeering scheme to rubber stamp ACS state sponsored child & family abuse/neglect cases, and terrorize & subdue underprivileged mothers and their children; mostly Afro-American and Latino. What do they want with Geneva so badly? She did not commit a crime so why do they treat her so? Why are they not educating her? Is this some type of behavior modification experimentation? Why are these individuals being allowed to operate like a secret cult with total impunity within our government?
Constituents of New York please VOICE your OUTRAGE. Today they are targeting mother's that are considered underprivileged, tomorrow it may be your kids. Please stand up and make the guilty party accountable for their crimes. This is CHILDABUSE of the worst kind. Please make copies of this document and help pass the word. Their strength is in their concealment. My niece is being used as a sacrificial lamb for their sadistic experiments; and she needs your help. Please make this case public!

Friends I like to inform you of the posting of my 2nd petition on the
web. I respectfully ask all of you to join me in petitioning the
House of Representatives to order an immediate inquiry on a National
level, to investigate every State, Children Services Administrations.
After careful consideration I thought that it would be selfish of me
to only fight for my niece Geneva. There are so many horror stories
out there, and many families don't have a voice to represent them; or
anyone standing in their corner just to say I care.
I used my family story in this petition to alert our representatives
throughout this great country of ours to show how ruthless this
administration can be along with the family court institution. I for
one am not please in the direction this country is heading; and if we
truly want to preserve democracy in this country we must stand as
one, and become one voice!
We have criminal element that's operating within our Government and
we must all ask congress together to take action and overhaul both
administrations. They are targeting innocent children and their
mother's and this type of practice is unethical and must cease to
exist. Regardless of what social status that we are in life, we are
all Gods' children.
We the people,
Ask the United States Congress to probe into the vast corruption
within our children services and Family Courts administration
throughout this great country of ours. Click on the link below to
sign this petition. Let's rid ourselves of this social cancer that's
destroying our way of life.

I thank you all for signing this petition: The kidnapping of Geneva
Johnson.
This particular petition is aim at NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg. I'm

Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the people has spoken, please investigate
the crimes in your city and free my innocent 14 year old niece, whom
your city had abuse horrifically.
Please sign the petition below if you had not done so already-The
kidnapping of Geneva Johnson.

Hello, and I read your letter with disbelief and horror. (that is the treatment and facts brought against you as a mother)
I do not know your name...and really feel as though you have been cornered, and shafted.
This has become the norm in our society, and although it is injustice, biased and can be proven in the court, if and when someone takes the case and fights for your rights-you will not be able to have fair and impartial treatment.
In order to fight for a case, you have to have funds, and as a mother, working full time, I can not even afford an attorney (one that can do a excellent job-not just a paper pusher) myself or suggest anything other than what I found available.
I suggest a few things, given I am not a lawyer or know all the laws, but I do know that you need to work with other parents and bring together the 'raw' deal in which you have become familiar with in your situation, to the surface.
Its a lot of work, and takes studying and hours of searching, but you can do it.
Write to the Congress, make complaints, find the laws in your area and work with them. Understand Prop 59, U. S. Constitutional, your civil liberties, your States Family Code and submit documents into court. There are services that offer free consultation in your state, find them, get with an attorney for information, how to file documents, how to present yourself and what to do. I have addresses for you in case you would like to write and locate someone that would direct you in the right direction. Again, I am not a lawyer, by far, could not rape or rob from someone in need....but I am in the same boat as you, fighting for justice.
Support groups and writing is what I have done....plus you might try to find someone like, Victim Witness Program, to assist in discovery, or help heal you in the process. Meaning, Healing as a good thing, and someone to listen to you and stick up for you when you need it.
I have spoken to a man that had this happen recently, he had lost his son to the courts, under very cruel and biased means, his son today resides with him, and has nothing to do with his mother. Just remember that your children have been forced into something that is out of their control, and they have to conform to their new environment to survive. But that does not mean that they will forget about you, ever. They will some day be able to come home.....just keep that hope alive and so all that you can to stay connected. Write to them, but copy the letters you send for evidence, when they are older and ask why you never wrote-you will be able to show them how much you cared....
Stay strong and gather friends, family and others that are going through what you have gone through........
Last and not least, get the information out, take out the emotions in your letter, build proof and start looking for others connected to your case....that includes doctors, child care, personal letters from people that know you (make sure to submit with Under the state of ..... , perjury....true and correct... Speak to the school that your children attend, and get them to send you report cards....
Ask someone in the courts, by going there and signing up for help with your case, more direction....other things that you may be able to do....anything that will keep you on the right track, and would bring peace of mind that you did everything available in order to make it right.
Don't get hopes up further than what would be reality...the courts do not work like they were intended to.
I will listen to you and help the best I can.......and wish you strength and an angel to be on your side-for the love and nurture of having your children back in your arms.....
Sincerely,
Joyce Welsh

In order to S has become the norm in our society a_,___
Hi, I am new and would like to share my story.............. (sorry its so long)
My children were taken away from me out of the state of IL, by their father, without my knowledge, and kept in PA for 6 months to gain residency and filed for custody and won, based on nothing but lies. We were, and still are married, with a divorce pending, for 15 years. He was so I thought, a wonderful husband and father. I felt as though I was living a dream life. At least that is what "I" thought and felt. Others, didnt see it this way. Now that I look back, it was nothing what I was seeing. What I was really living was a nightmare. Our home of 12 years went into foreclosure twice due to lack of him paying the mortgage. The money was in our account, he would spend it on re-modeling the house. The first time it went into foreclosure, my parents took a loan out of their own home to save ours. The mortgage was paid for 3 consecutive months, until he decided to continue re-modeling. He accused me for the house being in foreclosure and told me that if I had a "real" job, that this wouldnt have happened and would physically abuse me as punnishment. I once wound up knocked to the floor in the bedroom by him and kicked into the corner like a dog and told to stay there as it was my fault that we'd eventually lose the house. I tried to call the police, but he pulled the phone out of the wall, and grabbed the kids and take off with them in the car driving like a maniac. I could hear the girls screaming all the way down the street in the car. He would come back later and apologize for his behavior and sweet talking his way back. Foreclosure started yet again. This time I realized that there was over 60,000 in equity. The mortgage company wasnt going to let up this time, they wanted to take the house. It was sold to a realitor and it wasn't until Robert was away at work, that there was a knock on the door, on the coldest morning of the year. There stood a shariff, and 3 very big built men. They were there to physically evict us. Before I could even do a thing, our furniture began to be literally "tossed" onto the lawn. I was told to leave as this was not our home anymore and we had no rights to be there any longer. I phoned him at work, who didnt bother showing up at the house until he came home that evening, leaving the girls AND me to deal this the eviction emotionally. We had to put all of our belongings that were left and not broken due to being thrown out on the lawn and put them into storage. Many items were mine from my first marriage.
We were then forced to move in with my parents. During this time, he acted like a wonderful husband. At that time, I had thought that the way he treated me, was due to stress, and was willing to forgive and forget, and go on with life. We lived with them for 6 months total. During our time living with them, we had decided to look for an apartment or another house if possible, away from the neighborhood where we were living. We moved slightly south, to where there were may new developments were being built and the schools were rated top 10 in the country. We then moved into an apartment where it was on a temporary basis as we were some how approved for a mortgage and had a house picked out that we decided to have built. We moved only the necessities that we'd need to live, into the apartment.
During the time we were having the house built, he was the only person who dealt with the lender and the contractor. He did not want me, dealing with them at all, as he kept saying, "You have no idea whats going on". I would try to talk to him every day about what was going on, to get no answers. All I kept getting told was, "Im taking care of it, stay out of it". So, I did. Then after so many weeks of hearing the same thing and getting no answers, I then began to ask him if he had spoken to the lender, and he told me, yes he did that morning and told me about the conversation. I then decided to make a phone call to the lender, to confirm the call, only to hear that the lender in fact told me that he did NOT speak to him and hadn't for weeks. I brought this up to him, and I was told, "I thought I told you to stay out of it. He probably said I didnt talk to him, because he has no idea on YOU are talking about". Confiirmation like this went on for quite a long time. He would tell me that he did talk to someone, Id call that person, and that person denied the conversation. I began going through quite a bit of stress based on this. At this time I demanded answers and truth from him. All I kept hearing was, "If you dont believe me, then I dont care anymore". Our lease finally was up on the apartment, and our house was not yet closed on. Supposedly we had "trouble" getting a closing date. We then moved in with neighbors on the same street that we were going to live on. We lived there for 3 months, supposedly waiting on a closing date. The stress and arguments became unbearable, as I only asked for truthful answers and would get no where. I tried calling the lender again and the contractor, but never got return calls back. Or neighbor finally told me that he was sick and tired of hearing that we were going to close on this house with nothing ever happening and he felt that Robert was doing nothing but lying to me, and he strongly suggested that I go my own way from him as he felt that he was dangerous. He asked us to leave and maybe find a motel to live in until we closed on the house.
We then moved into a motel, and stayed there for 5 additional months, still per him waiting to close on this house. Again, I would make calls confirming the closing with the title company, to only hear that they never heard of him wanting to close on so and so date. I would bring this up to him only to anger him badly. He would then begin screaming at me and tell me that he demanded that I stay out of what he was taking care of. All I wanted was honesty. If he knew that we wouldnt get this house, then by all means please be honest and tell me. This he refused to do. All he did was scream at me based on my attempts to get involved with our house. When arguments would start based on his lies, he grab the girls and leave, with them screaming no daddy no leave us alone. He's take off with them in the car and drive like a maniac. He'd eventually come back hours later with bags of stuff for the girls, making himself look like a good father. I"d hear look what daddy bought us! He wouldnt talk to me for days then because once again I asked for honesty and he couldnt give it. My family urged me to leave and bring the kids with me and come back home. I refused, as I did love him and wanted to make things work. Every time he'd provoke an argument with me, he'd physically abuse me, by hitting me or leaving bruise marks on my arms and legs. Id grab the phone and call the police, but he'd take off and leave as there was already a pending warrant out for his arrest on a bench warrant, so if he had been there when the police got there he would have been arrested, as he already had been 5 times on the same warrant previously. I also noticed that he had been spending a lot of time talking with his mother on the phone, a lot more than usual. The stress that I felt was unbelievable but I was bound and determined to stay with him and keep our family together. One day at the motel I got our mail and there was two bills for storage. I didnt know what was going on so I had called him to ask him. He had then told me that he had our stuff moved out of the garage at the house that we had built (the things that we at the apt), and had opened up another storage unit for those items. He never told me before that. I asked him for a key for it, and he told me that there was no need for me to have a key, and that he was handling it........again.
Well, one day I woke up and took 2 of the 3 children to school. I came back to find that my husband and our youngest, who was in afternoon kindergarten, gone. I thought that maybe they woke up while I was gone, and went out to get some breakfast to bring it back, as was done before. A few hours past and I had noticed that the bookbag of our youngest was still left behind, and the time was drawing closer for her to be starting class. I called his cell phone several times without any answers. I called all the places I could think of as to whree he could be. I heard nothing. It was then afternoon and our youngest should have started school by now, so I called the school asking if she was there, and they said no, but did ask if she had a sister. I said yes, is there a problem, I dropped her off this morning. The school office secretary told me that neither girls were in school, as they were signed out due to a "family emergency". I was stunned and confused. I said no, there is no family emergency. And the secretary told me that their father came in and signed them out based on a family emergency. I said no, this is some kind of misunderstanding. And she welcomed me to come to the school and look at the records and look further into this mystery.
I did go to the school, and and saw indeed that my husband DID sign them out. The signature WAS his, and the reason given was a "Family Emergency". I began to panic as I did not know what was going on or where they were. There were no arguments, no nothing that could give me a clue as to what was going on. I went into the principals office and I called his place of employment where they "claimed" that they hadn't heard from him either and didnt know where he was. We called the school police, and she herself called his place of employment and they confirmed the same thing with her. We were all at a loss on what to do or where to go. The school police officer suggested that maybe if I return back to the motel, and wait, Id hear something, and if they police heard anything they'd be sure to let me know.
This I did. I called the Joliet, IL police and told him that my husband and kids were missing and I did not know where they were. They told me that there was nothing that I could do or they could do as any parent can take their child anywhere as long as there is not a custody battle or papers filed anywhere. I was told this be several attorneys AND police officers.
Finally after 3 grueling days, Robert called me and told me that he had taken the girls on a train and went to PA to his parents house. I asked him why and he said that it was "spur of the moment" thing, and he told me that if I wanted to I could come there, and join them with my oldest (who is not his) ,and we'd stay in PA for "6 months", and come back to IL to live again. I agreed, and we were on our way to PA. BIG MISTAKE. Little did I know that this was a plan and I fell right into it. Later I realized that the 6 months that Robert was talking about, was the 6 months that he needed to keep the girls there in PA in order to get their residency so that he could file for custody.
The day that my oldest child and I were leaving, her father came to our motel room. He told me that Robert had stopped by his house and told him that he was going back to PA to his parents, and while he was out there he was going to file for custody and he had no plans on coming back. I did not believe what he told me, as he was talking about my husband, a person, who I trusted and loved, and would never do such a thing to me. This was totally absurd. He said please believe me, this is NOT what your thinking it is. He told me he has no intentions on coming back, and he's playing you, please listen to me. I wouldnt, and didnt.
I called my husband and asked him what I should do with our belongings that we had in the motel room. He told me to take all of our stuff and pack it up, and take it all and the car to his employer and they would "hold onto" it all there until we came back to IL. This I did. They also sold the car, which they were authorized to do as there were things wrong with it anyways.
Furious due to what Robert had done, my oldest child and I were on our way to PA, anyways. Upon our arrival we instantly felt very unwelcomed. All I got were very dirty looks from his step father and his mother. His mother and I have ALWAYS had a good relationship prior to this. I saw a woman I never saw before. She was extremely rude to me and went out of her way to make me feel uncomfortable. She began to treat my oldest daughter, badly, accusing her of all kinds of things, and constantly yelling at her. I myself could do nothing right for this woman. I felt horrible and extremely uncomfortable, and so did my daughter. I also noticed that my other two daughters, (Roberts and my daughters) were not treated as such. They were treated and shown love and compasion and were treated with kindness.
As each day went by, my oldest and I were treated more and more badly. Roberts step father clearly showed that he felt nothing but hatred towards me. All he did was give me dirty looks and never spoke to me. He was extremely rude to me and went out of his way to be this way to me. I once got him a free subscription to the magazine Hunter, and he threw it on the floor and said he didnt want it and said it was garbage gave me a dirty look and walked away. One day at the dinner table, my youngest daughter right in front of everyone said to me, Mommy poppy dont like you. A 5 year old saw and sensed this. Then one day my youngest came up to me and said, Mommy poppy dont like you and told me that he dont want you here. I confronted him on this right in front of her, and he denied it and called my daughter a liar. No, this was plain basic truth, this man had hatred towards me. I never felt comfortable around him. He has a known history of playing around with other women, including his ex daughter in law, who is his wife's best friend to this day. At meals, we were only allowed to eat only one helping of food. The girls were NOT allowed to ask for seconds. This would force my oldest daughter to hide snacks in her room so that she could eat when she got hungy. During our time out there my oldest daughter who is extremely under weight lost even more weight due to not being allowed to eat as much as she wanted. She also would get yelled at for not putting drinking glasses in the cabinet correctly, as she was told that the drinking glasses had to put completely against the inside of the cabinet wall and all the way in the back. If this was not done correctly and exactly as she was told, she would scream at her until my daughter had tears in her eyes and became distraught. She would do the same to me. I finally brought this up to my husband and told him how we were being treated and how uncomfortable I was with this. He told me that I was imagining it all, and nothing of the sort was happening. In the meantime, Robert and his mother spent an extreme amount of time together and I was not allowed to join them where ever they were going. It was very clear that I was not wanted and was pushed away every time they were together.
While we lived there, I wasnt allowed to call my family back at home as Roberts mother put a "lock code" on the phone and told Robert the code, according to him, but "I" was NOT allowed to have it nor know it, per his mother. I wasn't allowed to go any where and there was ALWAYS someone else in the house watching me, espically his step father. I was pretty much made to stay only in the basement. When I would make plans to go out with Robert to the store or run an errand, Robert would refuse me to go, but elect his mother to join him. I often thought about taking off with the girls and leaving, but as I said there was ALWAYS someone watching me and making sure that my oldest and I were miserable.
Whenever Id bring up the statement, "When we go back to Chicago"................Roberts mother would say, "You mean when you and Alyssa go back". I would reply back, "No, when we go back, we all go back". She'd say, "Well I dont think so, you'd better check with Bob about that as his plans are way different sweetheart". With that being said, I was really beginning to believe that what was said by my oldest's father before we left, was true; this was a plan and Robert does NOT have ANY intentions on going back. Something IS very wrong. My oldest and I are not being treated like people and the man who's supposed to be my husband has gotten extremely closer to his mother to the point where it doesnt look appropriate at all. It was clear that I we werent wanted any where around.
One day Robert and I were out driving somewhere in his step fathers truck, and on a back dirt road, and I asked him the question that I had asked several times before and ALWAYS afraid to ask him due to his immediate huge tempered reaction. I asked him what ever happened to the down payment and earnest money that we put down on the house, can we get that back some how? At that point, he slammed on the breaks and began to scream at me telling me, that he wouldnt answer me again, and I must be that F'n, stupid to keep asking the same question over and over. I said I just want honesty. It was then when he grabbed the back of my hair and slammed it down into the seat next to him and lifted my head back up and slapped me across the face so hard that my glasses went flying and I saw nothing but very bright light from my left side of my eye and nothing else. I yelled out to him that I wasnt able to see. A few seconds later the next thing I know, he reaches over and opens the door and pushes me out of the truck out on the dirt road. I quickly got up and went to get Jackie out of the truck and all Robert said was, "No way bitch, thats MY daughter", and he sped off leaving me. Yes, Jackie witnessed the entire thing. I went to the nearest house and yelled for help. I called the police and they came. They were extremely rude to me and treated me as though I deserved what I had gotten. They told me that if I didnt calm down I would be arrested! I just got physically abused and I shouldnt be upset??????? So I had to calm down, and explain what happened. The officer looked at me and said that I didnt look abused. I said that I wanted to go to a homeless shelter with my 3 daughters and go back to Chicago. The officer refused my request, and told me that there was no evidence that I was abused nor any proof that my story was legit. At that point Robert had driven down that same street again, I told the officer that was his truck. He told me to get in the squad car and he'd find out what was "really" going on. He caught up with Robert, and I was told to stay in the car. I heard the entire conversation and could not believe what was being said. The officer asked Robert why I was so upset. Robert told him, this is what happens when she's not on her meds. She's got severe mental issues and she evidentally has not taken her meds today, so this is what happens and this is what she does. He also did let them know that he was the nephew of Chief William Seace of Lititz. The officer asked Robert if he wanted them to take ME back to the station and hold me there until my "meds" took effect. He said no, I will take her back home and make sure that she takes her meds". I was then told to get out of the vehicle, and was told by the officer that my DIRECTIONS were that Robert was to take me home and make sure that I take my meds, and that I was expected to then be calm and NOT cause any more problems. I got into the car with Robert and the 3 of us (including Jackie, who never said a word during the entire time) were going home. Not a word was said on the way home. We got into the house and Robert said to his mother, and his step father,The bitch tried to have me arrested. They both stood there and listened and watched, as they always did, while Robert and I argued. They would stand riht next to Robert and agree with everything HE said, and it was totally clear that I was alone. I went downstairs, and I thought Robert had followed me, but instead he told me to stay down there where I belonged, and slammed the door. I could take no more of what was going on, and I couldnt bear to see my oldest crying every night beggging me to plan a trip to go home.
I then started to plan a week to go back home over Easter. I got an email telling me that my mother wasnt in good health and that maybe we should come back home and see what was going on. I started making plans to go back home for 1 week. I let the girls teachers know that they'd be going back home to Chicago for a week. In Illinois, Chicago schools have a week off for Easter known as Spring Break. PA doesnt have this. So we were going to go back to Chicago for a week. I let the girls know, and they were very excited to go. I was waiting for the right time to let Robert know that this is what I was planning. Based on how I was being treated I didnt think he'd go for it, as HE was now more of the boss over me than ever before. A few days before we were going to leave my mother in law came up to me and asked me if it were true that we were going back to Chicago for a week. I said yes, and she told me that a good wife would never keep something like that from her husband and how dare I "Plan" something behind his back!!! I thought to myself, Lady, it was YOUR son, who planned to take my girls from me, in the first place!! How the hell did they get here, HE TOOK them out of ILL!! I just said that it wasn't any of her concern. She argued my point and said again that I wasnt the ideal wife, hiding something from him like that, as HE is the boss of me, and if I want to go back to Chicago, SHE would GLADLY drive ALyssa and I to the airport, and she walked away. Tell me, now at this point, how obvious! Well the day came for us to go. Robert went and got our tickets, as I stayed and finished packing. When he got back he only had 2 one way tickets to Chicago, one for Alyssa and one for me, ONE WAY. I asked him where the other tickets were, and he said that HE was not going, and neither were HIS girls, and that was FINAL!!!! This he said in front of his mother and step father as they both stood near the girls enforcing the fact that the girls were NOT going any where. Both the girls were devastated as now they werent going anywhere. I said fine we will be back in a week, and there we went.
During the week back at home, I had time to reflect and realize what was really going on in PA. I think what I was told by my oldest's father was right, Robert wasn't coming back and he was planning on keeping the girls. I then decided to go see an attorney and see what I could do to try to get the girls and bring them back. The attorney told me that as long as there are no papers filed out there in PA, I could just go back there and get them out of school and do exactly what he did. Well off we went to do this. We traveled all the way back to PA, and got to the school in time for them to get off of the bus and put them in the car, and bring them back home, file for divorce and custody. Well my luck wasn't quite like this at all. Of all days they didnt get off the bus. I went into the office and asked for them. The Principal came out and wanted to know why I was there. I said Im here to pick up my girls. He took me into his office and said that their father was there just yesterday and told him that I had abandoned them and wasnt coming back. I said well obviously I am back, I went to Chicago for a week, and now I need to get the girls. He told me that they werent there as of yet and he couldnt get them even if he wanted to. I left and when I went back to the car, and called the police. The police arrive and I explained my situation to him, then I noticed Roberts car WITH the girls inside it. He pulls up next to me, and says, If you think for one second your going to get MY GIRLS you have another thing coming, Im going to my uncle's house remember he's Chief of Police in Lititz. While he was screaming this at me, the girls were also screaming out for me saying mommy's here mommy's here, mommy come here!!!! And Robert sped off like a maniac squeeling the tires! I told the officer that was him, go after him. He did. The officer came back 10 minutes later and told me that he lost him!!!!!!!!!!! He told me that the best thing I could do now, was to go home and hire an attorney. (I strongly believe that he did catch up to Robert and Robert told him who he was in relation to the Chief and told him a BS story about me and the officer let him go). Well we were now hearing back to Chicago, empty handed. ( I later learned that that officer, just like the rest of the people I will have later dealt with, gave me very bad advice and lied to me. All I had to do was stay in PA until Monday morning, and go to the courthouse and file an emergency motion to get the girls away from him and have them come back home, I would have gotten them back. But instead I was lied to and given very bad advice).
We were on our way back to Chicago, and went back to the attorneys office, and decided to file for divorce and custody. He said that as long as there were no papers filed in court out there, I could file here, not a problem. Well a few days later, in the mail I got the worst news I could have ever gotten--I was being sued for custody!!!!!! I dropped to the ground and cried, I just wanted to die. IT was the worst day of my entire life. After a few days of shock, I called the attorney back, and he said that I could no longer file for custody here, and that Id have to hire an attorney THERE for that. But I could file for divorce here. We sat down in the attorneys office and made some calls to some PA attorneys. First one we called was a Roxanne Garner who told me NOT to attend the initial custody hearing, but retain her for an appeal. I took her advice and lost totally, there would be no appeal. I had to call another attorney to clean up what this last one did, if possible, so I could at least have half a chance. I called another attorney by the name of Thelia Eaby. I told her my situation and she said that because Robert had already kept the girls in PA for more than the 6 months required to maintain custody, it would be difficult, but could possibly be done. I quickly retained her. She appeared to be all gung ho on the case, but everytime I spoke to her on the phone all she'd do would be yell at me. And when she'd ask me a question, Id try to answer her but could never do that, as she'd only talk right over me, and ask me why I didnt answer her. We talked about filing a motion to reverse the motion that Robert filed. We agreed she'd do that that very next Friday. Well on THursday we spoke again, and she talked to me in the very same manner, by screaming at me, and asking me questions and not allowing me to answer her. Finally she said that she was NOT going to file the motion we had talked about, and that I should find another attorney as I wasn't cooperating with her! I had no idea what she was talking about, but there went my retainer!!! The next day in the mail overnight, I got the papers that she DID file! What the heck is with this woman? I have no idea. I also a few days later got the papers that Judge Gorbey gave my attorney permission to withdraw from my case. Well here we go again, yet, I need another attoreny!!! And I need one before the custody conference.
My family and I traveled to PA as I HAD to attend the custody conference. The night before the custody conference, I spent a few hours looking through the yellow pages, looking for an attorney that could or would take my case, and represent me at this conference. I got in touch and called a Merrill Spahn in Lancaster. He said come in before you go to the conference and we'll talk. We did just this, however, Mr. Spahn told me not to say anything, only to request a continuance as I was planning on retaining him later that day. I did ask for a continuance, but Ms. Zimmerman, Roberts attorney laughed and said no. I sat there answering questions and being badly badgered by both the conference officer AND Roberts attorney. I was told by both that I was an unfit mother and should have no rights to my children. They got me to the point where I was extremely distraught and told them that I did not appreciate the fact that I was being badgered because I didnt have an attorney present. I was told my the conference officer, since I said that, that I at that time, had no rights to my children, and that it would be reported to the judge and that I had agreed to it. My family and I went back to Mr.Spahn's office and informed him of what had happened and what was said. He was appalled. He then instructed us to go back home, and forward him the paperwork, and he would then decide what he would need as a retainer, and let us know in a week or so.
During all of this time, I was allowed very little contact with the girls and if I did, it was based on Roberts approval. If he did not want me speaking to the girls, I could not. Only when he approved is when I could communicate with them, and this was little to nothing. Most of the time when Id call the girls, I would get told that they were not home, and get hung up on. This is when I started having my oldest call and ask for them. She could almost always get them to the phone; as if this made any sense. A few times when I was talking to the girls, Id hear Robert or his mother talking negectively about me in the backround. I one time heard, they are talking to that bitch again, their unfit mother. But yet I was the one who was accused of stating negective remarks in front of them, which Ive NEVER done at any time.
And after retaining 4 attorneys, and my last retained attorney being allowed to withdraw a week before the final hearing, I attempted to apply for pro bono service and, as I said was denied. I had spoken to a Sue Dansforth at the MidPEnn Legal Services, who said that I could NOT be approved for pro bono service until I received the actual approval from the courts that my attorney was allowed to withdraw. I did NOT get the approval letter until, as I said 1 week before the hearing. When I let Ms. Dansforth know, she said that there would be NO way that they could find ANYONE to help me at the hearing, as there just wasnt enough time to prepare (naturally). I then asked her about getting pro bono help for future hearings and conferences, and she told me that once your denied it doesnt get considered again. So I was denied representation. My last retained attorney withdrew due to me not being able to pay his additional $3,500.00 fee. ( I am assuming). As I said, the SAME exact judge who gave my last attorney permission to withdraw, ALSO ordered ME to pay my future ex husbands attorney fees. I have all the documents to show this.
There is definitely something going on here, with this case, which has not been treated fairly since day 1. I have been accused of many things, but NOT EVER ONCE has there been ANY proof shown to the courts. It has all been based on the word only of Robert Schaeffer. No solid evidence has ever been brought up or shown in courts, ever.
As I said, Mary, I have NEVER EVER, physically nor mentally abused my children. As I said, on the phone to you, this was mentioned by Roberts attorney, Jerene Zimmerman at the final hearing. Ms. Zimmerman asked Robert, While you and Ms. Schaeffer were together, at any time, was she ever physically abusive to the children? He replied , No. But according to the girls therapy records, he states otherwise. He also accuses my mother of physically disciplining the children. She appeared before the judge and showed her physically how impossible this is for her to do, as she is a kidney dialysis patient and has severe rheumatory arthritis.
At the hearing, it was also motioned by Robert, that I have only visitation with the girls in PA exclusively and my visits again, MUST be supervised. I strongly believe that Robert has chosen his uncle William Seace to supervise this visit, to have me set up to be arrested. I say this because, again, as I said to you, at my last IL visit with the girls, I went to PA to get the girls and fly back with them to Chicago. Robert was flying into Chicago to fly back home with them, and at the airport in Chicago, Robert was arrested on an active current pending warrant. I had nothing to do with this warrant. This warrant was based on a bench warrant that had been pending in IL for several years. Robert had been arrested on this warrant 7 times, leaving our family in a terrible financial mess. As far as I understand, he was arrested at the airport and held over night. I strongly do feel that this "supervised visit" with the "chief of police" is only to "get even" with what happened to Robert. I do feel that, I will be set up to be arrested for perhaps blinking the wrong way if I were to visit my children. Prior, to this motion that was filed for supervised visitation, I was never ever accused of any kind of physical abuse towards the children. This was not even an issue in the initial complaint in the initial custody complaint. It was never mentioned until Robert was arrested. This is the kind of game Ive been playing with Robert since he left with the girls. It is a very cruel thing that he has done to not only me, their mother, AND to the girls themselves, but to the girls family.
I appreciate ANY kind of help that you can lend to me. Anything you may need or any question you have, I will do my very best to answer you.
Just in case anyone is wondering just how it went, I did a short post
on it with a few photo's. I will be doing a post on all of the future
Rally's as well. Here's the link :

If you get assigned to this court (Department 51)-DO NOT SIGN THE FORM TO HAVE HER LISTEN TO YOUR CASE. Instead, ask for another judge, you have that right. If you are a man be prepared to be raped. If you are a women you will lose more than money, most likely your child due to the court appointed psychologist Karen Hobbs, or Dr. Perryman for the children.
Do not take this abuse, and if you do not have an attorney, be aware Commissioner Berkow does not read your case, or what you present. She is HIGHLY BIASED, and her objection is financial gain.
Hopes that this stops soon.....

Parents for Children Investigation Team has filed a complaint with
the
state of Michigan Elections office after uncovering illegal campaign
activity by Judicial Candidate Paul Addis who is running for Macomb
County
Circuit Judge. The violation is specific in that Attorney Paul Addis
not
only failed to place a disclaimer on his literature but failed to
describe
or give the address of who paid for it. Since mostly newly elected
Judges
end up in the Family Court, Parents for Children finds this
especially
disturbing.
His web site describes him as a Special prosecutor for Attorney-
general Mike
Cox who used the "letter of the law" to go after "dead broke"
Parents. As a
potential judge, he should be more responsible for obeying the law
himself.
His "deadbeat" policy is especially inflammatory towards poor
Michigan
parents and not at all in the best interest of Macomb Counties
Children.
Parents for Children leaves the decision whether to vote for this
"deadbeat" attorney or not up to Macomb County voters.
We await an formal apology and disclosures from Mr. Addis.

Let me be the squeaky wheel. My case is very simple. I was in a
relationship with an abusive man for 8 years. He was an alcoholic
and ex police officer who still had plenty of contacts as well as
his father (homicide dectective-another town) and his uncle Chief of
police yet another nearby town. He threatened to make sure I never
saw my children if I left him or went after Child support. So I
stayed. That is, until he left provable damage to one of the
children. That was Oct 2002. I recieved a CLETS. I recieved
Primary Physical, Joint legal. The boys 3, 6 at that time went into
therapy. Both disclosed abuse repeatedly over the next 18 months,
that caused 18 reports by therapists to CFS. CFS eventually called
me on my cell while at a therapy session and told me to be at their
office by 12:30 or lose my kids. When I got there I was told to be
at family court to file for his visits to be stopped before 3:00pm
or the kids would go to foster care for my failure to protect them.
I went, family commisioner agreed to stop visits. Ordered Dad into
several programs. He did nothing. CFS investigates Dad. He is
placed on the Central Child Abuse Index for abusing his own
children. During this time my ex remarried and the court appointed
Attorney Ad Litem to the case. Turns out the Ad Litem is the ex's
new wifes divorce attorney, so clearly they have a relationship.
She fails to disclose this. Ad Litem asks the courts to use new
therapist in this case. Within 5 weeks (and only one 45 minute
meeting with me) Oct 21 2005 new therapist is calling ME a parental
alienator, ex parte with no notice hearing held. I send boys to
school unknowingly Oct 25th am served later that day and then don't
see my kids again. I have 2 other children in my home, a 3rd that
is a foster child and 7 children who I am a licensed Day Care
Provider for, yet I am not allowed contact with my own youngest two
boys. The commissioner denied my request to remove Ad Litem for
failure to disclose a conflict and obvious Bias. then she denied my
request for a written statement of decision. That was last
Thursday.
