Hall of Shame (page 6)

Below are more stories of families unjustly separated by the "system" without representation of counsel and/or a Jury of their peers. The starting page, with an index, is here. These people have volunteered their stories so that everyone can understand the true damage being done, and also, so those who may be experiencing your own personal "nightmare" may realize -- you are not alone!  We want you to here them in their own words. We can't vouch for the accuracy of these tales and we hope you will understand the bitterness and frustration you will hear in some of these.

The following is sections from a lawsuit being brought against my husband and I by three incompetent fraudulent, unskilled, bias workers in the Virginia Beach Child Protection service. First they destroy a seven-year old child's life, mentally , physically and sexually. They falsely accuse me of molesting the child and when it is "unfounded" these workers were under the impression that I would not tell. They have tried to have me terminated from my employment and when that does not work they go to court and try to sue. I would like to inform the public that Sasha Shaw stated on November 9, 2001 in Court that she now uses an alias. She also stated that she has only been with CPS 2 years. In May 2000 she was only with the agency 6 months. She does not know the Commissioners name.

"Comes now the Plaintiffs, Sasha Shaw, Megan Morrison, Michelle Dexter and moves this Honorable Court to enter an award of judgment in their favor against the defendants, in the amount of $75,000 compensatory and $75,000 punitive damages. It goes on to say that these workers has suffered irreparable humiliation, mortification, shame, disgrace and injury to there reputation..."

They have not suffered, WE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN FRAUDULENT ACCUSED OF CHILD ABUSE OR NEGLECT ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE BEEN HUMILIATED, SHAMED, AND WILL REMAIN ACCUSED FOR THE REST OF OUR LIFE. I WILL CONTINUE TO TELL WHAT YOU DID UNTIL 2 YEARS AFTER I DIE.

I am writing again to explain how the system really takes care of the children. I have been fighting for a DNA test and my rights to my daughter for 6 years now and have now in my hand the court order for temporary sole custody? But the same Judge signed an order for me and somehow also signed one for the maternal grandmother. I had only put my daughter in school for the first week when without even getting a phone call from the school, the sheriff or the family safety office who were investigating the family. 

When the school let the grandmother take my daughter she ran to another state and is in hiding. I have since been back to court and a second Judge accepted my verification that the grandmother had defrauded the court system so they put on my order that the order she had was no good. He statd they could not help me get my daughter back. So all 3 of these offices are now telling us how sorry they are but it is up to us to find my baby and try to get her back. And then they wonder why people go nuts and do crazy things. I will be filing for a writ of assistance to help get the sheriff in what ever state I find her in to go with me to get her if I can find her. We will also be trying to post her on the missing kidnapped children board. Thanks for listening.

I am going through the court system now. My child is 11 yrs old. We live in the Dallas, Tx area. I was separated in 95 and it took 2 yrs to get divorced and $25,000. Bankruptcy. My ex has expanded standard visitation so that we don't have to see too much of each other. In 95-96 he had supervised visitation for almost a yr due to physical inappropriateness, emotional abuse, and poss. abuse of looking in my daughter's vagina every night after her showers. We had psychological eval, counseling, parenting classes. He wanted primary custody with me having limited with my daughter. However my daughter told things he was doing, which of course he denied. 

Now, I have gone back to court. I want to get permission to move to Ks with my daughter. I want primary custody with limited visitation for him. My daughter probably  wants to move to ks worse than I do, where there is family. She wants limited time with him. She hates being told when she has to go over there. She hates the 2 weekends in a row. She hates the holidays that she has to spend extra time over there. She is called a-hole, s.o.b., stupid, dumb, told she has a f-in little mouth. Her father talks negatively about her mother a lot. Tells her that her mother has satan very close to her, and she thinks to herself that he is the one who is satan. That her mother is a crazed woman who lies, and she thinks he is the one. A lot more verbal stuff. She gets shoved out of the way. Poked in the chest so hard she can feel his fingernail. Has been kicked-tried to block it with her hand, and her pinky hurt for a few months. Has been slapped and told that he will do whatever it takes to get her attention and respect. Has been hit on top the head so hard it makes her neck hurt. Has been grabbed by the head and lifted to tip toe. 

He has told Bre's counselor that this is discipline. He wants full custody of her now, because he is married now and can give her family life. Breanna does not want to be with him and has told him. Asks to come home to mom's and gets in trouble for saying that. Can you blame her for not wanting to be with him? What are her rights in all this? Of course, no lawyer wants to help you unless you have a lot of money. So does that mean my daughter just has to put up with that kind of behavior? Oh, after spending all the money I have, now he is being nice. But so what. We've been all through this before. He refuses to buy her any clothes, so unless she takes something over there with her, then she wears basically the same clothes all weekend.

My daughter is 6 now. She was 4 and a 1/2 when her fathers mother got temp custody of her and they had only been in her life for 6 months (that was their choice from the day she was born). I  have not seen my daughter since march of 2001. Her father had got custody of her by default because I live in a different state and didn't have an attorney. 

He now tells the courts he is in NM and they let him take her with no parenting plan or set visitation for me.  I am now stuck here in WA with supervised visits that I will never get. The hardest thing is that his mother has custody of his other 2 children and has for years due to his drug use for at least 15 years. I miss my baby girl and would do anything to see her, hear her voice, hold her in my arms and to kiss her and tell her that mommy loves her. 

I never got to say goodbye. She also has 3 siblings that are 8,5 and 18 months old that live with me. They grew up really close to her. She was the heart of our family. Now when we think of her we all get teary eyed. They talk about her all the time. They keep her stuff all neat for when she comes home (I could never tell them that it may be a long time because mom doesn't have the money to get an attorney). This eats at me every day.

WHAT CAN I DO? Legal aid won't help because I live in a different state than the custody is in. Please help me if you can. There were a lot of legal thing done wrong in the case.

On May 28, 1998 two baby girls were born to a mother who had already lost her child to the Ministry of Children and Families Development in Fort St. John British Columbia, Canada. Mom's first daughter was apprehended in 1996, just 10 months after her birth for gross neglect. It was ruled that Mom was not in a position to care for the child and she was put into permanent care of the MCFD.

2 and a half years later, a set of twin baby girls were born to this same mother (different father). Even though her first daughter was in continuing care she was allowed to take the two new babies home. My question at that time to the Supervisor of Child Protection was "If she is unable to look after her three year old why are you giving her two defenseless babies" I was told that it was none of my business.

I am unclear at this point if Mom received the older child back because she had turned 19 or because I was making waves but one month after the twins birth mom received the older one back.

Problems arose shortly after their birth with such things as Mom's drug abuse, neglect, leaving the children alone in the apartment when going across the road to use the computer and telephone, not feeding them properly, physical abuse and neglect. In a MCFD documentation it is stated that Mom admitted to all of this except the improper food.

October of 1998 MCFD, on taxpayers money, moved the same mom to another province. My court order for not less than one day a week of visitation was forgotten about.

On January 27, 1999 I received a telephone call from the Mom stating that I was to come to Edmonton Alberta (an 8 hour drive) and pick up the children before she killed them.

I left immediately, drove to Edmonton and picked up the children (all three) without the proper clothes, sour bottles, no winter clothing etc. and brought them home.Both babies were, within one and two days taken into emergency as they were both very sick.

From January 1999 - August 10, 1999 Mom visited the girls sporadically and even though she had passed custody of all three children the the twins father and then wanted the oldest back, the children remained living in the same home, mine.

On August 10, 1999, Mom and Dad came to my home in the morning and said that the MCFD was in court to apprehend the children. It turned out that since Dad had custody of the two smaller ones, they were only going after a supervisory order on the oldest who had been in her mother's care for 18 days. So, in 1999 I received custody of all three girls. Since that time the Mom has taken me back to court for such things as; 

• reasonable and generous access to specified 
• more access 
• different days 
• joint guaridianship 
• half of christmas day 
• no christmas day 
• being denied access to the children (even though I had documentation and video taped visitation between mom and children 
• access to her oldest who by authorization of the RCMP and an incident was asked to be denied

There is still concerns over the children's well being and on September 19, 2001 I had in court two recent persons who were to testify as to recent abuse of the two smallest children. A Judge Schmidt released the witnesses and said that he would not be hearing them.

My problems with this whole situation is: Sometimes, for the children's own benefit they must not live with one parent or the other. However, in my experience as the paternal grandmother, when I stepped in to raise these three children (the oldest is now up for adoption as I could not protect her from her mother even with the help of the courts) I have been labeled medalling, trying to steal the children etc. When does the best interests of the children come into a court case or into the MCFD. I know in British Columbia one of their own policies is that they are to place children with relatives if at all possible, they don't do it. People like myself have to fight the whole way without the benefit of Legal Aid Lawyers who are all to willing to help the lousy parents.

IN British Columbia, there is my rhyme or reason to how the Ministry for Children and Families, the Court System and other agencies who are governed to protect children work. For once, I would like to see a panel of person's meet with our Minister and tell him, face to face the problems across the province before we add another statistic to our ever increasing child mortality rate.

Our children are our future, should we not owe them the time and dedication to ensure their safety, well being, physical as well as mental well being?

I can be reached at brimkube@pris.bc.ca if you would like any further information, or have any suggestions. I have documentation, (thousands of pages) to back up what I am saying and would be happy to share them with concerned persons.

Sincerely,

Carol Kube

P.S.: For any of you who think that I may be a flake (have been called that too as persons who have not been there say, it's not possible, I must be some kind of a flake) I raised 3 children, two stepchildren, one other teenager and never had my motherhood questioned. I am the grandmother of 7 and a half grandchildren. Come from a large loving "functional" family. Been divorced once but my husband now is very supportive and a real sweetheart. Am the executive director of a non profit organization, have ran for city council and am an advocate of anyone who is in jeopardy of having their rights violated. I also do not have a criminal record and in 1998 was approved as a foster parent (the MCFD said should the need arise) until it came time to sign it. They refused because they said that I couldn't work with the Ministry. I believe it was because I asked to many questions and held them accountable.

So my heart goes out to anyone who is in the position of Child Protection Services, in any country not doing their job. The only hope that I can offer is keep fighting, loud and long.

Date Separated: May 12, 1996

I can't afford to fight any more.  In Feburary,96 I came home from work 3:30 a.m. listened to the phone recordings from the night -- on the recordings was a message from my exs bosses wife. On the message she was yelling at my wife about sleeping with her husband. My ex was his secretary during our marriage. My ex would accuse me off having affairs, which was not true. The final one she picked a name off a birthday card and said I was sleeping with her. 

At the time I was working 12 hrs. 7 days. Taking care of both the boys while my ex was working day shift. My response to her was where do I have the time to have this affair, so I filed for divorce meanwhile staying at the house until my ex filed for protection order against me in may. When I was ordered to leave the house I asked the officer what I had did wrong she told me she was afraid of me. That night I drove by the house and her bosses van was in the the driveway, I found out that his wife had done the same thing except he had beaten her up I found out that my ex had bailed him out. 

My ex had failed during the marriage to tell me she was sleeping with at the time with my best friend, during our courtship she failed to tell me she had done the same thing to her ex husband. I filed to get physical custody of the boys seeing I was the one who did all activities with them and thought I was capable of raising them on my own. these activities included bowling, boy scouts, and baseball. I also did most of the laundry, cooking, and household chores around the house so she would have an easier time with the kids while I was at work at night. During the court battle I was accused of having affairs, stealing my own money, and being abusive to my my own boys. I was told if we didn't come to some kind of agreement that someone would have a very large fee to pay by the judge.  In the end I paid her lawyers fees her health insurance for 6 months although she had a job that paid her insurance which she quit so her boss- boyfriend wouldn't lose his job. 

My child support was based on wages that she was making after she got a job from a friend of her boyfriend which was much less than what she was making before the divorce. Friend of the court based my child support on the overtime that I was working at the auto factory and not on the base wages so now I'm trying to get them reduced because we're not working that overtime. I can't afford to pay $1052.00 a month. Now I'm trying to find another job so I can save the house I live in now. I can't claim the kids on income tax time. I'm unable to see the boys (no money) looking for another job she uses the time that is given to me on holidays as regular visitation time when it states that we are suppose to alternate those weekends. 

I complained to and visited friend of the court and they said she could do that when they sent her a letter stating my complaint she told me that if I didn't tell the friend of the court that I was wrong on filing the complaint that she would go back to the original court decree when I was put on another shift at work making it impossible for me to see my boys. When I finally got to see my boys thru some bargaining with her my oldest son said he wanted to live with me after I got a lawyer to file a motion for this he changed his mind telling me that his mother said he would never see her again that I would keep him from her. 

I allowed her to take my oldest boy to a band camp on my weekend with me going to pick him up after. She took him there she told me that was not going anywhere near the camp that she would have thrown in jail. She has changed doctor appointments after we agreed on a certain date and never told me of the change. She took the boys out of school to go skiing in Utah while the oldest son had scarlet fever. When I found out from the school that this had happened and no follow up doctors exam was given I called her to take him to a follow up exam. She denied me this right telling me that she would have me arrested when we went to court to have visitation changed and child support reduced. Her lawyer quit and the court gave her 30 days to get another lawyer. The following weekend she moved.

I tried to work things out with her after I found were they live when she sent me a letter letting me know 4 weeks after they moved every time I called to talk to them on the phone she's in the background yelling at them so I finally told them to call me collect when we can have a private conversation. This past Christmas she allowed me to see them. I tried to work out a regular visitation with her again wanting to meet half way to make it easier on both of us. It was her suggestion so I agreed, then she didn't want to agree on any place. Then she had to think about it. Still no response, still no visitation, still no new lawyer. I e-mail my boys twice a week, no replies. When I called social services on the scarlet fever they told me I was at fault even though I didn't find out until they came back from the skiing trip. The docter told me he had 104 temperature when they left. I was never notified by the school doctor or my ex about this.

Good luck in your quest to make things better for us. I cannot afford to help out. The system has made it impossible for me to fight anymore. Maybe it will be better for the children someday when the court gets there head out of there asses and becomes more responsible. Its all about money and keeping it going for the high priced lawyers judges and social workers. Thanks for your time.  

I love you Darryl and Sean Blessing, your dad.

I have no ability to fight this anymore. My daughter is being destroyed by her own mother and the court systems and attorneys pure corruption. No one will help even up to the US Attorney General.

I like what AKidsRight is doing. This is very much needed to have a federal mandate for Civil and Family Rights. Everything in this I have been denied. Due to what the incompetent and biased judge, contemptuous liar opposing attorney and mostly my former spouse have done, said, fabricated, lied about, created from nothing, I have no rights to the court, no attorney rights no motion access rights, no rights to my daughter, legally no rights, contractually no rights, zero, nada, nothing.

My daughter as we read/write this is being destroyed by a presently contemptuous criminalized system. If a person pays enough to the right people, are able/allowed to defraud and extort then they win whatever they seek. If a father (or mother) tells the truth it is ignored while the other destroys or take from the defenseless parent. 

I am now on SS disability because of the former spouses violence and threats to my life but she has full control and custody of my daughter and I am denied access to my 9 year old except for 20 hours per YEAR.

Children/Birth Date: Carlton (1989) and Blair (1995)

Date Separated: May 11, 2001

The Ministry for Children and Family Development in British Columbia have returned the children to their father and the Children's Commission is investigating the 15 breaches I have submitted as the non-custodial parent.

After my in-laws wanted me to financial support them with $250/mo they (my ex and his brother in law (then the Director of Religious Services for the province) went to Stevenson, Luchies and Barristers and Solicitors, one of the most highly adversarial law firms in Victoria, BC. (Check out their advertising in the local paper for evidence to support this statement.)

Dan McLeod, the lawyer representing me refused to go to the court with my instruction to obtain MEDIATED access, rather than the typical 'reasonable and generous access'. (He told the care provider the judge would not honour her evidence as she did not have childcare credentials. This same care provider had refused to provide evidence that the father was in fact the 'day-to-day' care provider as he had professed to be.)

Carol Caramack, a counselor recommended by the family doctor (Dr. Phillip Kelly) had my son prepare a calendar which would demonstrate when my son wanted to be with mom, and when with dad. My son at the time did not have the mental capacity to understand that each time he allocated more time to his mother, his father would get upset. Furthermore, my son was angry that he was taken to a 'Family Counsellor' and that I was not included in the sessions because my son considered me to be a part of his 'family'.

Mr. Luchies job was for the client, NOT FOR THE BEST interests of the children. He himself created the adversarial climate and the fact the father was diagnose with a dependant personality and the lawyer took advantage of this 'dependancy', which had shifted from his family to the lawyer. (I did go to MCFD realizing this was causing a problem for resolution with custody and access, however the social workers involved only created a more adversarial climate and I through Freedom of Information the records to prove this. One comment written by social worker Mary Casselman states she was in fact doing the father's and the lawyers 'dirty work'. )

As a mother, who had been educated and forfeited some of her physical family time with her eldest child through the parenting agreement with her partner, was to have time at home when the second child was born. The father refused to provide this to me when his parents and siblings pressured him to support the family plan to buy a condominium. (Leaky condo problems were rampant in Victoria at the time so that is not where I wished to invest.)

Note, I will never support in-laws for a life style choice, as my children's life-style and standard of living comes first. Had they needed money, of course, I would have provided, as I would for my own parents.

Dr. Stangland did not include in his child custody and access report any of this financial pressure I was being subjected to by the extended in law family.

He sanitized the report to exclude this information and NEVER USED ANY OF MY AFFIDVITS for his report. (Comments from lawyer Rebecca Faber indicates Dr. Stangelands own daughter committed suicide.....this lawyer refused to return to court and review the records in order to have the Appeal process implemented. Ironically, so I am told, this lawyer doesn't even speak with her child's father......she once screamed at me that nothing would change until I stopped hating my children's father.....although I know I have never hated him, but deplore some of his and his family's actions.

Dr. Stangeland over-charged and the lawyers involved refused to recover the over charge. Together they planned so that I could not have the evidence in court which elaborated of the $5K which was taken from an elderly woman at Royal Jubilee Hospital. (How is this in the best interests of society to have this evidence excluded from the court case?)

When I realized the lawyer was extorting me of my family's funds (he had now had a record of ALL THE FAMILY ASSETS) and he had made what appeared to be a this 'sweetheart deal' with the psychologist, he dropped me as his client because I refused to provide him with $12K. He already had taken $20K and I realized the game he was playing with Tyler Luchies. I even went to another lawyer here in town (who had been practicing for two years having worked as a secretary in a law firm before returning to school) and she claimed she could do my case for the same $12K which the previous lawyer wanted me to pay UP FRONT.

Neither lawyer was looking out for the best interests of my children, but rather the best interests of their pocket book. Realizing this, I was hesitant to be involved with any part of the litigation of this case.

I then went to the Ministry for Children and Family Development to explain the public was not being protected because the Ministry of Attorney General allows the two self regulating bodies to operate without a system in place to protect the public from the over-charging and collusion. The CD Howe report had identified that of all marriages, 50% end in divorce and of those 10% are highly adversarial.

The MCFD became involved, as they can apprehend children based on hearsay legislation. The Men's Group here in Victoria reported that I was suicidal and mentally ill. (thank you Art Lowe) Eleven children are removed daily and the court judges merely 'whitewash' the decisions of the social workers who have unbriddled delegated power. There is no controls within government policy to ensure this delegation is handled in an honest, ethical manner. In fact, the legislation exempts these 'professionals' from personal liability.

My sons were taken into 'care' after a police incident in which the Central Saanich police severed a report which enabled Crown to lay two criminal charges against me. These charges were laid to appease the social worker Mary Casselman, who was I believe traumatically stressed with her own personal issues.

She told my son I had given her a note which said I was going to kill myself. Under the law, 'hearsay evidence' is allowed. This social worker emotionally abused my child and it took my son from April to December to tell me 'he had to know the truth'.

My youngest child was returned to his father within a week after the police incident. The presentation forms prepared by social workers are in no way representative of the police reports covering the same incidents.

Note, I had gone into court without a lawyer based on information provided by Dr. Laura Mills who now oversees the HARC program at the Queen Alexander Centre for the MCFD. She told me Dr. Stangeland's report was a good one and that it identified me as the parent having more to offer the children over the long run. (Dr. Mills later provided input into the Ministry's report which excluded all records from me.....what a waste of professionals' time and expertise.)

Mr. Edwards, the judge overseeing the case, covered up the evidence which proved the psychologist received evidence from a woman who was suffering from a 'mood disorder'. This woman worked at the day care my son attended and had not been approved to provide this information by Farmer in the Dell owner/operator. (This operator is a social worker who refused to work for the ministry and herself was dragged through the law courts twenty years ago....nothing seems to change here in Victoria.....) The judge was wise enough to know NOT to read the doctor's medical certificate into the transcript.

Tyler Luchies gave the judge information such that I would not co-parent. I agreed to have the children with their father for a week at a time, but the lawyer purposely omitted this information, as it would allow his client to obtain custodial rights. I wanted my children to be with me when it was the father's time and he was a work. This would maximize my children's parental time, but naturally, would not be suitable for a client to obtain custody, hence the rationale to have this information excluded from the evidence provided to the judge.

Having to represent myself in court was a traumatic experience to learn of the dishonest approach by the lawyer. I did this based on two points, one: to save the family assets and because the psychologist told me the report favored me as the custodial parent. Previously the lawyer had told me NOT to work as that would give me more of a chance to have my time with the boys. Ironically, the decision posted at
 http://www.courts.gov.bc.ca/jdb%2Dtxt/sc/99/16/s99%2D1671.txt 
and contains inaccurate information but there is no way to have the corrections made, as I have written requesting this. Note, I sent the court bill back with a note refusing to pay the bill which was over $900 stating 'I refuse to pay as I DID NOT GET JUSTICE'.

The Law Society has protected every lawyer for which I have put in a complaint here in Victoria and furthermore when I returned to court Gerald Lowster rescheduled my court date, as the court does not have a system in place to prevent lawyers 'tampering' with the dates in court. In fact, the court system is set up so that the lawyers control the scheduling and the average citizen doesn't have appropriate scheduling input. Complaints about the administration of the courts are merely returned with feeble excuses for a judiciary rampant with injustice and corruption.

Many of the other cases use legal aid funding so their is a vested interest to keep the adversarial court system operational. Until the public refuses to support such nonsense by the judiciary, much of the taxpayers money will go to supply leather shoes to lawyers, rather than food and clothing for many marginalized families.

To date, my eldest child was forced to be in foster care for over 16 months even though the school principal interfered with my son's privacy and intercepted my sons wishes to have his mother assist him through a friend. (According to the legislation this is the timeframe children can be in care and dragged through the court system.)

Now the principal is accusing me of unfounded allegations and is adversarial and biased with the case. (Perhaps Mr. Scigliano can understand how parents who have had their children needlessly apprehended feel. I must commend the guidance counselor Gary Rivers who TRIED to make an effort to resolve the family conflict......even when providing my child inaccurate human rights information.)

My son was returned to his father's care this past August and Eugene Raponi placed a restraining order on me, three days before my son turned twelve. This is a lawyer who claims to be a mediator, yet uses adversarial destructive tools to 'assist' his young clients. (Mr. Raponi stated that the way the courts had treated me had been done to men for years. This does not in any way make it right the way the courts have treated me and my children.) I returned to court opposing this return of the child against his wishes, but the representative I used was told by Judge Wayne Smith that she could not represent me.... ironically this woman, having gone public with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation had her two sons apprehended last Friday and their lawyer is now warning them NOT to get the media involved....it only harms them as they must deal with the abusive ministry....

My son had been told by both his parents that at this age he could then decide where he wished to live. (Unfortunately my son did provide input into the divorce, but children are not legally a party to the divorce itself. The alienation the father believed was coming through me, was in fact directly a result of his involvement with the church parishioners and his lawyer....perhaps the children remember the unreasonable efforts made by their father to remove them from their mother and chasing my son around a parking lot to convince him to stay....or maybe it was pastor Auntie Karen telling Carlton he would never go to Disneyland with his father if he did not do what he was told.....my son never did get to Disneyland as the foster family left him behind when they took their own children......what does this do to a child's self esteem, while he is in 'care' of our government?...)

My son was deeply saddened to have the church parishioners praise and shake his father's hand for 'winning custody' in court. At seven years of age my son came home from church to tell me the people were 'hypocrites'. As a mother, I only listened to the comments.....that to me is being a 'good' parent.

I cannot think of a more unchristian way of acting, but this typifies some of the actions I was opposed to while attending the Lutheran Church.

As it stands, I locked the NISIKA worker out of my home on May 11th (the last NISIKA worker died of a seizure, no doubt possibly from the stress the ministry was applying on him to provide very unbiased reports.) and the RCMP refused to document that I CALLED the RCMP after locking out the young worker as my children's rights were continuously being violated.

(Constable Connolly claims my insistence to have this information recorded accurately is 'insignificant'.

Since when is a mother calling for assistance and protection for her children 'insignificant'? Why was my telephone call to the police not recorded, particularly when I made it in front of the children to teach them they should call the police for help? The police stations work in collusion with the ministry to apprehend, knowing full well many of these children will once again keep their men and women busy...See the five-minute video 'Bad Kids, How to Create a Criminal. for more details

The Children's Commission have 15 breaches of Section 70 violations, but this gives lttle comfort to a mother when their Annual Report 2000 states over 387 allegations (Page 26 of Blueprint for British Columbia's 'For a Better Future for British Columbia's Children and Youth....of breaches of rights have taken place.

Little is done with a ministry vested with little power to forge change and policy direction.

In closing, mediation is necessary for families to appropriately move through restructuring. A Better Lawyer Bureau is necessary to be operated by the public, just as we have a Better Business Bureau.....self regulation is self serving and our government is truly not looking out for the common good of society...

Article 32 of the UN Rights for the Convention of the Child states 'children will not be used for financial exploitation......' Well, that is exactly what I have been lobbying to have changed here in British Columbia. Such a pity we can no longer generate the economy with fishing, mining and lumbering. Children have become the most vaulable asset to generate the economy for lawyers, social workers and psychologists!

Children/Birth Date: Kristian Raymond Johnson (1990)

Date Separated: May 23, 1996

On May 23, 1996 I received a phone call from an attorney whom I knew, informing me that what he had done was illegal and I needed to come to the court and pick up the order I was now to live under. I have a child born out of wedlock which was born in Washtenaw County. When I arrived at the court clerk to meet the attorney he handed me a paper which stated I agreed to never go back for child support, limited visitation with my child and to pay for the cost of a psychological evaluation with the Senior Psychologist for Oakland County. 

This attorney and another attorney had walked into the center of circuit court and the Chief Judge Hon. Barry L. Howard allowed this without inquiry as to the Paternity of the child or how the birthing and confinement expenses were paid. The court gave me less than 12 hours a week with my child when I was never served, had never signed a paper, this attorney did not file an appearance in my behalf or have power of attorney, and there were no police reports or charges filed against me. 

The reason for this was I was on the Exception List for Michigan as I paid all birthing and confinement expenses and the child was less than 6 years old. I paid for legal representation and had none. I was kept out of court until I paid $1,500 for an evaluation with Senior Psychologist Julian Gordon who was under investigation and went to prison for child molesting. He mailed this evaluation to the Family Counselor Janey Lee before he went to prison. The evaluation stated I was to have more time with my child immediately or he was to be given back and the Father had exploited me financially and not reimbursed me for medical. The Family Counselor wrote that I should be responsible to take my child to the doctor and for haircuts. The court changed custody of my child born out of wedlock without paternity established with the court or an evidentiary hearing. 

I was never allowed to use the court or Friend of the Court services. A Consent Judgment was entered on a motion without the Prosecuting Attorney or Attorney for the FOC having any information on my case. This Judgment took away my rights to use the court and FOC services. My story is very overwhelming. My child had to be removed from Pine Knob Elementary, spend a week in a daycare at a mental institution and was diagnosed with an Adjustment Disorder by the Chief of Child Psychiatry. I took my child to outpatient counseling. The Family Counselor asked the second Judge that my case was reassigned to take away my rights to visitation with my child for 3 months although another Psychologist had stated the Father was a bad parent and this was not a divorce and recommended the case be corrected by the court. 

The court kept ordering Psychologists and never asked for the recommendations but entered the psychologists names anyway. I paid 4 attorney's who intentionally did not enter any papers in my behalf to request the court discuss law or legal rights. The Internal Revenue Service made me go through an Administrative Audit because the court never bothered to ask how I file my taxes and ruled without requesting any information on my case or holding any of the proper hearings. I was allowed to keep the deduction. 

Finally after several years of being denied any legal rights and blocked from using the court services I contacted the Administration for Children and Families in Washington and reported my case problem. I informed the ACF I was having problems with Oakland County who was not certified and participating with the federally mandated child support program and the State of Michigan had paid the Alternative Systems Penalty. The ACF requested Wallace Dutkowski, Director SOCS/FIA in Lansing investigate my problems. I received notice from the State of Michigan Family Independence Agency that this is supposed to be a cooperative effort of the FIA, Prosecuting Attorney and Friend of the Court by way of this letter my complaint was being forwarded to the State Court Administrator's Office in Lansing as they are the regulatory agency over the State Court's in Michigan and would be better equipped to handle this inquiry. 

Chief Judge Hon. Barry L. Howard was required to meet with Gov. John Engler and 2 Chief Justices January 2001 and was informed there was a case that is a problem and possible civil rights. In February Chief Judge Hon. Barry L. Howard was retired to work as an attorney in commercial law. In February State Court Administrator John Ferry, Jr. issued me a request for investigation of the court pursuant to MCR 8.113. I received a letter from Regional I Administrator Delores Van Horn that there would be inquiry with the Chief Assistant Oakland County FOC as to what the court should do about my case. I received a letter from the FOC that the case was amiss and out of their control. The State Court Administrator dropped the investigation after the FOC admitted the case was a problem and did not refer the matter to the Judicial Tenure or Attorney Grievance Commission for further investigation. In March county executive Brooks L. Patterson made Hon. Barry L. Howard sign the memorandum of understanding to join the federally mandated child support system and the Michigan Supreme Court gave the Chief Judge position to Hon. Joan Young who Oakland Court Administrator Kevin Oeffener had answering my grievances after he realized that Chief Judge Barry Howard had ordered hearings and knowing those hearings were never held had entered a Judgment.

 Chief judge Hon. Barry L. Howard was the President of Chief Judges in Michigan and had just given a speech to the SOCC on pay increases. The State of Michigan is very aware of my problem case which has been passed back and forth between Wallace Dutkowski Director SOCS/FIA, John Ferry Jr. State Court Administrator and contact for Michigan government funded programs, Douglas E. Howard State of Michigan FIA, Governor John Engler, Lynda Crandal, Administration FIA, Congressman Dale Kildee. Nothing has changed in my case so I contacted the ACF and requested a federal audit as James Bellinger Audit Manager Auditor General's Office informed me that Oakland County is not complying with the Performance Audits of the Child Support Program required by the Performance and Incentives Act. I was informed that Region V HHS the federal division over MI child support program in Chicago IL had received information on my case and was reviewing it. I have also contacted the U.S. Dept. of Justice to inquire as to what can be done for Oakland County entering an adverse Judgment that took away my legal rights to use the court services. I have been abused so badly in Oakland that even when I requested a transcript the court reporter wrote his attorney was my attorney. For some reason Oakland County cannot be mean enough or humiliate me enough. 

I am a Registered Nurse and my doctor was the Chief of the OB Dept. for St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor. Since I contacted the Administration for Children and families in August of 2000 the Courts in Michigan were threatened to comply with the federal laws and there have been several articles by the Oakland Press and an entire project by the Detroit News on Unfriendly Court Broken system cheats families. I have been unable to find anyone to assist me with my problems with the State of Michigan so I have pursued the matter with the federal government.

Children/Birth Date: Brad (1992)

Date Separated: August 18, 1999

On May 13, 2000 at 6AM in the morning my door bell rang. My then seven-year old grandson was standing at my door with a stranger, wearing a T-shirt, underwear and socks. The stranger informed me that she had found this child 3 miles from my home riding his bike. The child gave the stranger directions to my home. While the stranger was at my home I telephoned my Attorney, the police and CPS.

The reason the Police and CPS was called in October 1999 is that I had my estranged daughter arrested after she had threatened to kill me. I had informed her in August 1999, that I would no longer support her financially. The good Judge "haha" did not give me the opportunity to present the taped messages that was left on my answering machine. He placed a five year restraining order on my daughter, her children and I. Before this time, my grandson had lived with me since birth.

The police arrive at my home at 6:15AM and I gave them the name, address, telephone number of the stranger. Four hours later the child was returned home. On May 15, 2001, I met the worker that this case was assigned to. Sasha Shaw was unprofessional, incompetent, racist and belligerent. I addressed letters to the Director of Social Services, Commissioner, Governor, and a letter to the Judge that had placed this 5 year restraining order. Needless to say Sasha Shaw was not removed from the case. On May 21, 2000, I was visited by the police detective Chris Phillips. He stated the child had said that I came into his room while he was asleep and removed him from his bed. Chris Phillips did not inform me that my daughter Samantha Daniels had a warrant issued against me for abduction and violation of a restraining order.

On May 25,2000, I received a call from the child requesting that my husband and I come get him. The CPS worker was informed that night of the call, a message was left on her voice mail.

May 27, 2000, the child runaway again. This time he rides his bike 6 miles to my home. Being that I do not like Police, my husband and I carried the child to the Police department. The Police allowed my husband and I to keep the child. Monday May 29,2000 was a holiday, so on Tuesday May 30, 2000 the child was carried to CPS. The worker Sasha Shaw was too busy to speak with me. On May 30, 2000, my husband received a call from his command. (My husband is in the Navy). He was on vacation, he was ordered to come to the base because they had received a call from my daughter Samantha Daniels indicating that he had abducted and molested her son. My husband, Mother, the child, and myself went to speak with the officers. The child told the officers that he had runaway. We were allowed to leave the command. On June 1, 2001 the child was removed from my home by Sasha Shaw, Megan Morrison and three policemen in three cars. I was served a warrant to appear in court on June 7, 2000. The charges of abduction and violation of restraining order was dismissed. The Judge then placed a restraining order on my husband and my 85 year old mother. On July 15, 2000 while at work I receive a call from Michelle Dexter a Social worker with CPS. She informed me that I was to have an interview with a detective O'hara and her, because she had received allegation of me abducting and molesting my seven-year old grandson. The person who made the allegations was my daughter, and the mandated reporter was again the incompetent Sasha Shaw. The fraudulent allegations were "unfounded" on September 6, 2000, I was not informed that the case was unfounded until November 6, 2000. I was warned by Michelle Dexter to keep my mouth shut. I have addressed letters to every newspaper in Virginia and Washington, Congress, our previous President, City of Virginia Beach officials. Va. Beach CPS replies that I need to have a relationship with my daughter. I do not want a relationship with someone who would work this hard to destroy your life.

On July 13, 2001, Virginia Beach CPS faxed information to my employer, to have me terminated. I have passed and mailed flyers in Virginia Beach that indicates corruption in the Police, Judicial system and CPS. I will continue until justice is served. I have recently discovered that the Police Chief requested a meeting with the Director of Social Services services. I also have information that the workers addressed faxes to City Attorney wanting to know how they can stop me. I consider this a threat on my life. All my conversations with CPS is on tapes, I also have a tape recorded conversation with a police detective.

On May 8, 2001 , I petitioned circuit court to receive the names of the mandated reporter and the person who made the allegations. This request was denied. On September 16, 2001, I file a motion of discovery due to fraudulent information, the Judge refused to put it on the docket.

I will continue to expose this corruption until my daughter the workers are brought to justice .
