Excellent article by Andy Marso and the Topeka capital Journal. You have to go to the article and read the comments.

Family Court The Real Weapon of Mass Destruction

Courts working on guidelines for case managers

Excerpts:

“mediation and other alternative dispute resolution in the Kansas court system says it will seek public comment soon on new guidelines for child custody case managers, who are fast becoming one of the most scrutinized aspects of the judiciary.”

“public comments on case management could be solicited as soon as this summer and the comment period should last months”

“followed by appellate court decisions in back-to-back weeks that slapped the Douglas County district court for abdicating too much of its authority in custody cases to the case manager.”

“Two weeks ago, the appellate court found that Karen Williams was entitled to a full evidentiary hearing on the district court's decision to reverse custody of her daughter — a decision that was made solely on the recommendation of case manager Cheryl Powers.”

“The latest appellate decision, released Friday, established that father Matthew Merrill had the right to object to all recommendations of his case manager, Patrick Nichols, and that the judge should review those objections before implementing the recommendations.”

“Bud Dale, a Topeka-based lawyer and case manager, agreed, and said he also thought the appellate judges went too far in limiting case management fees.”

“Dale objected to the judges' ruling that Nichols shouldn’t have been able to bill Merrill for the time Nichols spent defending himself against motions to remove him as case manager. Instead, the court wrote that case managers are only authorized to asses fees to the parties for work related to "custody, residency or visitation or parenting time issues."

"(The court) muddied some waters here," Dale said. "I'm not in indentured service to the court. I'm not working for nothing."

“In the Merrill case, the appellate court also found Nichols was inappropriately influenced by the parties' unwillingness to pay him and the district judge erred in accepting Nichols' request that his recommendations be immediately implemented as court orders”

My comment:

Blood for Profit - Just US, no one else. After 18 years of hell in Shawnee County Courts, Case management, GAL’s, parent coordinators and other 3rd party 'access to justice interferer’s’, have shown their true agenda - theirs -

and the commenter' s here are 'on to them' and the whole 'therapeutic jurisprudence' – b.s. w 2 degrees. Dr. Bud Dale, JD. Your ‘gravy train’ (and all the others) is finally at stake.

Awesome job to cj and Andy Marso, more than awesome job that after all these years I finally see the people – we the people – outraged! I have waited almost two decades for the truth to finally burst out. Thank you Topeka.

LAW is LAW - psych is theory, ideas, opinion. Not fact. There is absolutely no place in a Court of Law for any ‘therapeutic jurisprudence’ – Self (financially) ‘made-up' positions that amount to ‘crystal ball’ reading’s. Take it on the road w the carnival. Entertainment [bad entertainment] is better than the damage caused by your so called JUDGE/GOD idea, opinions and your beliefs. People divorce for a reason - stupidity, danger and insanity in forcing them into polar situations for financial gain is inhumane.

Dr. Bud Dale states …

…."(The court) muddied some waters here," Dale said. "I'm not in indentured service to the court. I'm not working for nothing."

Indentured slave? Case managers and other www.WhoresOfTheCourt.comhave no problem ‘enslaving’ families for personal profit... get out Bud.

I cried when I heard the news below, for many reasons.

 

1. I always think of my daughter Rikki, had this been law would it have changed what happened to her and I? For 6 years we fought for a hearing after a now JUDGE, LLOYD C. SWARTZ (had been case manager) severed all contact between this mother and her child. It was not until 2010 that there was finally a hearing on it – SIX years later, although for 6 years this mother wrote motion after motion for hearing….. judge after judge it went through, never to be heard, never any of the basic fundamental rights of ‘due process’…..

And; when that hearing did finally come, the GAL (M. Jill Dykes) with the court appointed ‘psychs’ (David C. Rodeheffer) had taken over where the case manager (Lloyd C. Swartz) had left off….

Justice still remained denied, mother and daughter remained without contact as the abuser father (Hal Richardson) maintained complete control.

2. Even though, there will now be ‘hearings’ on the perversion of    justice - (where again - none should be) - the ‘house of gold’ has become brighter by other profiteers such as BUD DALE – GAL’s and other third party access to justice interferers.

I cry. Nothing has changed except for the Increase in profits from the other child traffickers.

There will only be Justice – when Justice is allowed. There can never be justice, when Therapeutic Jurisprudence is allowed.

The bottom line is, that case managers and others have NO BUSINESS at all – in the family courts, it is an oxymoron to have the Court of Appeals rule that a ‘law’ should be followed, when the most basic of all law is due process.

KS Appeals Court: Mother entitled to full custody hearing. Lower court had reversed custody on case manager's recommendation

http://cjonline.com/news/2012-06-29/appeals-court-mother-entitled-full-custody-hearing

THE CAPITAL-JOURNAL

The Kansas Court of Appeals ruled Friday that a mother who lost residential custody of her child based on a case manager's recommendation is entitled to a full evidentiary hearing.

Karen Williams, formerly Karen Wray, became an outspoken proponent of the need to reform the state's child custody case management system after the lower court limited her to once-a-week visits with her daughter without giving Williams an opportunity to hear and respond to the case manager's recommendation.

In a decision written by Judge Karen Arnold-Burger, the three appeals judges noted that the laws establishing case management do not explicitly require a hearing on case manager recommendations, but parents have a right to due process under the 14th Amendment when a fundamental liberty like the custody of their children is at stake.

"Although this holding may result in courts having busier dockets," the decision states, "the information received at such a hearing will aid the courts in deciding whether the case manager's recommendations are in the best interests of the child and insure that due process, one of the most sacred and essential constitutional guarantees, is provided to the parties."

The three appeals court judges found that case manager recommendations that change legal custody or residential custody, or significantly change parenting time warrant a full hearing if they are contested.

"The court of appeals nailed it," said Bud Dale a Topeka lawyer and case manager who submitted an amicus brief in the case. "In terms of the clarifications needed in the law to function as a case manager, the court of appeals decision was perfect."

The judges sent Williams' case back to the Douglas County court where it originated for a full hearing.

Williams called the decision "such a relief," though she said she was disappointed the appeals court did not grant her request to remove the case manager and district court judge who appointed her. Williams may face the same judge when she has her hearing in Douglas County, but she said she's confident she can regain residential custody of her daughter.

"I know that once we're allowed to present evidence, there's no way you can look at this and say that what has happened is righteous and fair," Williams said. "That's what I wanted is to be given the opportunity to present it and they're giving us that opportunity."

The Legislature authorized the judicial branch to appoint case managers to negotiate visitation in "high-conflict" divorces a little more than a decade ago. Since then, parents and lawyers have expressed concern that case managers have broad authority and little accountability.

Ron Nelson, a Lenexa family law attorney who represented one of the parties in a similar case that went to the appeals court in 2000, called Friday's ruling "a very good decision." Nelson said it goes farther than any previous ruling in establishing that the court is the final authority on child custody changes, not the court-appointed case manager.

"This decision certainly pulls back from what seemed to be the way that case management approvals were going," Nelson said. "Which was that they were rubber-stamped, either in a hearing or out of a hearing."

Williams says that's what happened in her case.

Williams' daughter was born in 2001, and she filed for divorce from the girl's father a year later. The two retained joint legal custody, but Williams had residential custody and her ex-husband had weekly visits. That arrangement held until February 2011, when Williams told the case manager, Cheryl Powers, that she was remarrying and moving to Marion.

In response, Powers recommended that the court reverse the custody arrangement. According to the court decision, Powers believed Williams had a history of alienating her daughter from the child's father and "this alienation would only increase if she were allowed to move away with the child."

Within a month, the court adopted Powers' recommendation and denied Williams' request for a full hearing. The court also ignored Williams' request that it remove Powers as case manager and appoint a guardian ad litem for the child.

That led Williams to appeal to the higher court, which was unusually caustic in its evaluation of Powers' response to Williams' request for her removal.

"The tone and content of Powers' subsequent response to Wray's objection can hardly be described as a professional report from a neutral factfinder or facilitator," the judges wrote.

"You don't see that kind of language very often," Nelson said. "Saying it's essentially an unprofessional recommendation and reaction is kind of strong language."

The Legislature moved to address some of the concerns about case managers last session by requiring they hold a professional license. But legislators decided to wait and see how the court would rule in Williams' case before taking further action.

Dale said he will propose a minor procedural fix next session, but the court addressed most of his concerns. Nelson said there's still work for legislators to do.

"This (decision) certainly helps and provides some solace that case management is not quite the railroading it's been perceived to be," Nelson said. "But there still needs to be more standards and more direction from the Legislature than this opinion really gives."

Question:

What happened to the entire section of the VAWA addressing PAS (essentially identifying use of PAS legal strategies as violence against women which endangers children)?

Answer:

THAT is the question that NOBODY is willing to answer, not even the Administration which includes the main person who originally introduced VAWA. Read the resolution I posted, that is what prompted me to get Fairfax, CA to enact Resoluton 2466.

I seem to have been the first person in the country, that is other than the legislators who introduced VAWA, American Psychological Association Task Force members (Yes, the APAORIGINALLY did condemn PAS) and Father Rights Lobby (Why do you think they are so against the VAWA -- it would have sent all of these psychos and f^*^s to prison), to have identified this. But, all of the so-called advocates were so busy furthering their own agendas -- and lining their own pockets.

Fairfax Praised and Commended For Efforts Toward Ensuring That Domestic And Child Abuse Cases Are Adjudicated Properly and Applauds The Historic Step Taken by the Fairfax Town Council toward Eliminating The Systematic Abuse of Women and Children.

On Dec. 6, the Fairfax Town Council passed a resolution calling for revision of California family code and the federal Violence Against Women Act, and resolving that the Town Council joins the National Organization for Women in denouncing the use of the "parental alienation syndrome" legal strategy.
Parental alienation syndrome, originally crafted as a legal defense of child molesters, is routinely used in family court to mishandle domestic and child abuse cases as custody disputes and to punish mothers and children reporting abuse.

Use of parental alienation syndrome underlies not only egregious child custody rulings - especially custody switches to batterers and child molesters - and family court related misconduct, but the misuse of government programs and funding. In 2003, the American Prosecutors Research Institute identified parental alienation syndrome as the means to obstruct prosecution of abuse cases.
On behalf of the National Alliance for Family Court Justice, I would like to thank Councilman Lew Tremaine for sponsoring and the entire Fairfax Town Council for voting to adopt Resolution 2466. Our group, joined by supporters from California NOW, California Protective Parents Association and court reform activists and concerned citizens from Marin and across the country, commends the effort toward ensuring that domestic and child abuse cases are adjudicated properly and applauds the historic step taken by the Fairfax Town Council toward eliminating the systematic abuse of women and children.

Everyone -- Please send it to your legislators along with a copy of Resolution 2466, asking them to help reinsert this back into the VAWA. If we can get that done, use of PAS to harm women and children will be a federal crime, and we will be able to work on cutting off the funding once and for all. And once there's no money flowing to the court whores, they're not going to keep doing what they're doing.

Question:

Baby Alissa Cries 4 Justice

Implore, insist and demand that Greg Zoeller, Indiana Attorney General reopen the investigation into the homicide of 16 month old Alissa Guernsey, who was beaten to death on March 28, 2009 and abused by her mother's cousin, Christy Shaffer, for 3 months before she was killed. Christy Shaffer was never charged with any murder charge; therefore, Double Jeopardy does not apply to a reopened criminal case.


View Christy Shaffer's Plea Deal
Christy Shaffer, who fatally beat Alissa ,was only convicted of a singular count of a Class B Felony,
Neglect of a Dependent, and only served 77 days in jail for what is clearly documented and presented
to the Prosecutor as the homicide of an innocent baby.
Judge J. Scott VanDerbeck valued Alissa's life at just 77 days of incarceration.

The Statute of Limitations for murder NEVER expires, and Christy Shaffer will always be exposed to facing a Felony Murder charge. Two medical examiners determined at autopsy that Alissa's injuries prior to her death could only be caused by a prolonged pattern of child abuse.
After Christy struck Alissa's head so many times that the fatal head injuries caused Alissa to lose consciousness, her lifeless body was strapped in her car seat as Christy Shaffer casually proceeded to go pick up a movie rental, and go through a McDonald's Drive-thru window to buy 'Happy Meals' for the other children in the car. Christy then drove home and carried Alissa's lifeless body into her house in Topeka, La Grange County, Indiana.
After beating Alissa to death, Christy never called 911 herself. Instead, Christy Shaffer phoned her brother, who was an EMT, hours later after returning home from her 'errands'. When he arrived, her brother found Baby Alissa's body to be 'cold, unresponsive, with no heartbeat'. Her brother then performed CPR and phoned 911, who then responded to Christy Shaffer's home and continued to try revive Alissa.
Alissa was then rushed to the local hospital, where CPR, defibrillators, and every possible means of emergency care was provided in an effort to save Alissa's life. After 45 minutes, despite the heroic efforts by the Emergency Room Staff, Alissa was pronounced dead, and autopsy reports indicateAlissa had been dead for hours before arriving at the Emergency Room. This story of injustice and judicial corruption only begins here....

Christy Shaffer still be charged for the murder of Alissa, despite her Plea Deal for Neglecting Alissa
Nothing in the laws of Indiana or Christy Shaffer's plea deal of 'Neglect of a Dependant', prohibits her from being charged with other counts of child abuse for her 3 month pattern of child abuse of Alissa prior to March 28th, 2009. Christy's Plea Deal does not protect her from any form of Double Jeopardy of any charges for which she was never charged or indicted for. This clearly leaves her as a person of interest, a suspect, and the individual solely responsible for the DEATH of Alissa.

'Neglect of a Dependant' is a charge when the child suffers serious bodily injury, NOT the DEATH of that child.
Christy was undercharged and Prosecutor Jeffery W. Wible 'claimed' he could not link Christy's beating to Alissa's death, despite the Indiana State Police and the Medical Examiner's Reports, which when submitted to the Prosecution, clearly and unequivocally stated that the DEATH was a HOMICIDE. Wible failed to represent the citizens of the State of Indiana when he chose NOT to provide the empaneled Grand Jury with the option to have Christy Shaffer charged with any murder charge. Many of the Grand Jury members remain stunned that they were never given the option of indicting Christy Shaffer for murder.

This type of 'discretion' by a Prosecutor is a 'Fraud upon the Court'. It is inherently unfair and illegal. The Homicide of Alissa remains an open Murder case, and all of the facts point directly to Christy Shaffer's beating Alissa to DEATH. The Murder case and investigation should be reopened and presented once again before a State Grand Jury to determine if a Murder indictment should be issued against Christy Shaffer.

U.S. FAMILY COURTS SACRIFICING MOTHERS & CHILDREN
Family Courts Behind an Epidemic of Pedophilia & Judicial Abuse

by keith harmon snow

First publication: 01 May 2012
Edits & Revision: 03 May 2012 
Edits & Revision: 17 May 2012

(*The article's original title "SCREW THE BITCH" -- based on a book designed to destroy protective mothers -- was unacceptably offensive to the author.  Revision on May 17 was to clarify 'Father's Manifesto' vs. 'Father's Rights'.)

A five month investigation reveals an epidemic of violence and corruption facilitated by Family Courts in the United States.  Children all over the United States are being taken from their protective mothers and delivered to abusers.  Behind this epidemic of judicial abuse are organized networks involved in racketeering and corruption, channeling and disappearing billions of dollars of U.S. taxpayers money every year.  Insurance companies are being defrauded by medical and mental health professionals rewarded handsomely for producing quack studies that criminalize loving mothers and protect abusive fathers.  With clear evidence of racketeering and corruption, high court judges and insider lawyers use and abuse the Family Courts system to destroy protective mothers and deliver life sentences of suffering to innocent children.  Rich, poor, middle-class... No child in America is safe.

Little did they know, the worst was yet to come.  Sunny Kelley and Lori Handrahan are just two mothers in two states in the country whose cases provide irrefutable evidence of judicial abuse and pedophile trafficking through Family Courts.  Their court cases went straight from horrible to hell. 
Despite solid documentation of judicial corruption, cronyism, state social service agency abuse, misconduct or dismissal by police, and massive profiteering by officials who are preying on families and children, even the Federal Bureau of Investigation is mute.
Just when Sunny and Lori thought it couldn't get worse, it did.

The cover of the woman-hating 'Father's Rights' book Screw the Bitch.

The cover of the woman-hating 'Father's Rights' book Screw the Bitch.

As I write this story, the family court system has already delivered Sunny Kelley's son and Lori Handrahan's daughter to alleged sex abusers who appear to be part of sex crime networks.  Both mothers are fighting for their children's lives, at the expense of their own.  They have been slandered, abused, ridiculed, harassed, ignored, humiliated, threatened and attacked.  They have been financially devastated.
With the incredible love of a protective mother for her baby they have fought back fiercely, but the more they have fought the more the system has restricted, hammered and punished them.  Every move they made has brought further retaliation upon them.  And they are not alone.  
Like other mothers persecuted by the Family Court system, Sunny and Lori have been psychologically and emotionally tortured, and it's still happening.  It is the same story for Susan Skipp (Tittle v. Tittle) and Sandra MacVicar (Buggy v. Buggy) and Marlene Debek (Bhatia v. Debek) and Lisa Foley (Foley v. Foley) and many more.  
Some of the protective mothers I have talked to tell stories of their children sleeping terrified in the same bed, living in constant fear of their father sexually abusing them.  They talk about their child and their neighbor's child being dressed and undressed in costumes and made to touch each other for the baby-sitting father's pleasure.  Evidence has been provided to the authorities, and nothing is done.
Unlike some mothers who have been forced to live on the streets or in their cars or those committed to mental health asylums as a result of fraudulent court psychological evaluations, protective mothers like Sunny Kelley and Lori Handrahan have not succumbed to the institutionalized corruption and criminality served on them in an effort to silence them, destroy them and deliver their children to the abusers.  They are broke.  They are exhausted.  They are depressed and disillusioned.  They are still fighting.  And they are courageous beyond belief. 
How can our society have let them down so badly?
The legal systems in Maine and Connecticut have given Lori and Sunny and mothers like them the proverbial bitch-slap unceremoniously reserved for any mother in America who stands up for her children and herself against a misogynist and patriarchal culture dominated by shrill demagogues.  Worst of all, Sunny and Lori's pleas for help have fallen on deaf ears: when they tell their stories no one believes them.

Excerpts:

* "I think this [change of names] was done to protect the court from being exposed and also to protect the judges whose actions are damnable," said Dr. Eli Newberger. "This is like Soviet Russia, but it's happening in the United States, and people's rights are being trampled on by people in power who can only maintain their power through the conventions of secrecy."

* "This is how abusive and narcissistic men work the family court system to destroy the lives of their ex-partners and their children. The documentary film No Way Out But One tells the story of Holly Collins -- a woman just like Lori Handrahan and Sunny Kelley -- a protective mother persecuted by the family court system in Minnesota for trying to protect her children. A family court in that state had ignored Holly Collin's complaints of domestic violence, and the physical evidence of serious child abuse, and had given full custody of the children to the abusive ex-partner. Holly Collins became an international fugitive when she grabbed her children and went on the run. Collins fled the United States in 1994, and she became the first U.S. citizen to gain asylum in the Netherlands. The FBI tracked Collins down. The now grown children confirmed that their mother was not their kidnapper, but their savior."

* THE BLACK HOLE OF PEDOPHILIA IN AMERICA

"Most mothers heading down the divorce and custody road have no idea that they are destined for judicial entrapment, extortion, exploitation, and total loss. They don't want to upset the apple cart, appear to be contentious, or be judged guilty by association, as they follow well-meaning advice about going through a divorce in the family court system. Who wants to piss off the judge? Mothers convince themselves that it can't happen to them. Worse, no one believes a protective mother who says the court is not protecting her child"

* The problem is, what we are talking about here is a massive national and global epidemic in sex slavery and pedophilia that makes the Penn State University pedophile scandal look like a bonafidé success story. In that case, someone caught the thief with his hands in the cookie jar -- or the kiddie's nightie. Penn State was the tip of the top of the peak of the iceberg of sexual horrors that children are experiencing and mothers are fighting against. There is an ocean of evidence for any clear thinking person to see.

* There is little or no U.S. Department of Justice oversight of the billions of dollars in U.S. Department of Health and Human Services monies that are funding the black holes of Family Courts. The mass media is almost completely silent.

* Blueprint, the story goes like this: mother suspects father of sexual abuse against child; mother asks Family Court to investigate; court assigns psychologist to evaluate parents; psychologist declares that mother invented charges against father; mother is labeled with psychopathology based on discredited psychological theories; Family Court judge delivers child to abusive father.

* However, child sexual abuse and organized crime like this is not a matter of 'sometimes' failing dramatically. When even one child is taken away from his or her loving mother and delivered to a sex abuser it is a matter of ruining -- and sometimes ending -- a life.

* The problems with Family Courts pervade all levels of the federal and state systems, and no United States citizens are immune: rich and poor are exploited, only differently. At the root of the problem are these central truths: The five billion dollar a year budget of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) provides a black hole of funding that filters millions of dollars down to 'gatekeepers' posted to key positions in Family Courts, state agencies, law-enforcement, and affiliated non-profit organizations that have learned how to milk the system;

  • Over the past 50 years, a destructive movement designed to win abusive fathers' access to their victims (women and children) has evolved into a hydra that has virtually overtaken judicial systems and social services, and it now uses them to persecute mothers and destroy families according to the otherwise reasonable dictate that access and visitation with both parents is in 'the best interest of the child'. This destructive movement is premised on and falsely bills itself as a movement for father's rights, thus further confusing the Family Courts landscape. 'Father's Rights' will be used to describe the movement designed by and for abusive fathers to further control, intimidate and abuse women and children.

The United States is both a domestic and an international hub for a trillion dollars a year sex industry in trafficking in women and children.

    Why are Family Courts Manhandling Good Mothers?

    Pretending to assist men to become responsible parents, federal programs operating under the banners of'Responsible Fatherhood', 'Access to Visitation Enforcement' (supervised visitation for noncustodial parents), and 'Child Support Enforcement' have perpetuated abuse of women and children through the family court system. These government programs are not producing responsible fathers, but motherless children, in order to advance the agenda of the so-called 'fathers' rights' movement.

    * Based on laws enacted by the Clinton Administration in the mid-1990's -- under the lobbying of the 'Contract on America' -- problems originate with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and programs like the Transitional Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Based on the financial and economic 'incentives', and with zero oversight or regulation, the system uses Family Courts and state agencies to destroy families.

    * The guardian ad litem serves a gatekeeper function placing lawyers in positions of power, manipulation and coercive control and this is not in the best interests of the child they are supposed to protect.   The corruption and judicial abuse being perpetrated through GAL systems in Pennsylvania has provoked federal lawsuits.  On March 16, 2012, a lawsuit was filed seeking to dismantle the GAL system in Lakawanna County, PA.

    * THE SHIELD OF THERAPEUTIC PRIVILEGE
    * THE CIRCULAR EVASION OF RESPONSIBILITY
    * WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM

    One protective mother starts sobbing every time she talks about the calculated program used by courts and lawyers to abuse and destroy families -- and how they attacked and abused her and her prepubescent daughter. "I found my husband's lawyer's strategy when my husband left his notebook and I read it," says 'Mrs. Wilson'. "It said:
    1. Figure Out How to Shut the Bitch Up;

    2. Bleed the Bitch Dry Legally;

    3. Reunification Therapy;

    4. Trial."

    * THE RACKET OF SUPERVISED VISITATION

    Who is Nicholas J. Sarno? How did Nicholas J. Sarno get involved in the millions of dollars business of supervising the visits between parents and children involved in highly contentious custody battles in Connecticut Family Courts? Why does Nicholas Sicinolfi alias Nick Sarno have at least five aliases and six names?

    THE RACKET OF SUPERVISED VISITATION

    For six days in December 2011, alone, Sunny Kelley was billed $3910.00 for 46 hours of supervision (@ $85 an hour) from the Nicholas J. Sarno & Company of Trumbull CT, one of the select agencies used by the CT Family Court system for mandated supervised visitations, but an agency with a very interesting history and questionable ties to court officials.

    Supervised visitation programs provide services to courts in visitation and custody disputes where a parent alleges physical or sexual abuse, domestic violence, or other harmful behaviors against a spouse or partner. Hailed as a welcome tool in the judicial management of high-conflict family court cases, such programs are garnering increased attention from legislatures, judges, and lawyers nationwide.
