The Truth Will Always Prevail

Hi, I saw a post you wrote to Wayanne about her lying about things...I am her daughter Desiray I have not spoken to Wayanne in almost 1 year because of all her lies, she even pretended to be me by opening a myspace account saying all sorts of bad things to people that she was working with, so she was telling them her opinions claiming to be me and so much more. Please her mysace life was ruined because I went public with many emails from Wayanne full of lies and everyone finally caught on, you have got to warn people about her. She is not an advocate, only claims to be because of me and my case against my godfather, she steels everyones credit, she has NO phd, no journalist degree like she claims. This woman is sick and needs help you must warn people about her, stay away from her lies, if you listen to them then listen closely because her story will change so fast because she can not keep it up. Feel free to contact me, but pls be careful mentioning me to people. You have no idea what hell Wayanne has caused on my life and the past few months have been silent, I would like it to stay that way. She constantly threatens me about my child hood and even as an adult says she is trying to sue me for defamation of character when it is her who has commited this and I have all the emails from her to prove it.

I am sorry for the long email, She gets me going. I just saw what you wrote about her and it is so true, please warn people about her lies and how she is none of these things. All she wants is attention and she will do or say what ever it takes to get it, she does not care if the attention is bad either, attention is attention to her and all she wants is to be famous, she said last year that she she wanted to be put on a gag order for that Kaylee case so she can become a house hold name...Sick...

Thank you,
Desiray

Hey I have all these emails filled with lies, I have a video of me logging in to her myspace (she left her password out, back when I stayed with her last year) this video where I logged in to her site showed all her emails and the lies uopn lies she was telling people. This woman has made my life a living hell, I would love to join a case. I contacted the police out here for a restraining order against Wayanne but since she is my mother and we lived with each other last year they consider it domestic and wont help me unless I have others who have been victimized by her. You have no idea what she has done to her own children. She has 2 of us girls and 1 step daughter and 1 step son, none of us talk to her but my 1 sister because my 1 sister is too scared of her, she has seen what Wayanne has done to me since confronting her in her lies and my sister said she does not want her life to be ruined. Otherwise she has LOST everyone, her husband even lost all of his kids, sisters, brother and he doesnt even see his own mother because they all know who Wayanne really is and her husband Markus lies for her, infact Wayanne will pretend to be Markus in emails and texts too, Markus knows that she does this and he does not care along with the fact that he does not even ever know what she says he is writting (does that make since) Wayanne pretends to be alot of people... She is sick, truly head sick...Please contact me I will share the emails I have with you if you would like. I need this woman to be punished for all she has done, she hurts people all the time and it never stops. The last woman she was stalking BB-11 on myspace was put through hell because of Wayanne and her lies....
Oh Wayanne did not even finish Junior high school. SHe dropped out of school, got pregnant with me and finally got her GED when I was 16, she was 32. She takes classes online claiming to be real degrees but I have seen the completion of certificates, you can not get a PHD or law degree with no real college education. She was never an RN, she did however go to medical school when I was 10, she became a medical assistant, and worked in the back office with a dermatologist for many years, but that is the extnet of her education. When I had my public case in the media back from 1992-1999 she would follow me to all the shows and interviews I did because I was a minor, She was involved in my organization we had but I did all the work, the talking, the show was not about her it was about what I was trying to accomplish with my attourney Gloria Allred. Do you know of Gloria Allred? I informed Gloria Allred last year about all the lies and hurt Wayanne was causing, Isent every email and video I had of the proof of Wayanne committing Slander on me as well as a resume Waynne claimed was her own saying she had worked for Gloria Allred on many other cases besides mine (Gloria was apouled) I have this email from her as well. Unfortanantely Gloria would not give me any legal advice like I asked, she said its not in her jurisdiction and since my mom was involved in my case she mentioned conflict of interest, but she does know who Wayanne really is too..

She makes me sick
I am sorry for the long emails, It scares me when I learn of a whole new group of people Wayanne is trying to manipulate so she can pretend to be famous and look like a good person who is all these things she pretends to be. She ends up slandering people so hard, stalking people so badley and then she turns it all around and will tell everyone that you were the ones doing all of that to her, All of a sudden she is the victim..She does this to everyone, she is seriously sick and a mental hospital will not take her until she physically harms someone, which really is scary that someone this sick who messes up peoples lives and reputations can run around doing this and not get prosecuted for it, she needs to be charged, I case needs to be brought up you guys.

Argghh, DO you feel my frustration? She was on myspace for a long time and she has lost her reputation on it because she got caught in lies and then I came forward with a site proving her lies, showing all her emails. She kind of vanished and I knew she had to be up to something but her facebook account was blocked for a long time. Today I checked it because my sister said she thought Wayanne was up to her ways again, this is when I found what you wrote, I do not think she knows it is on there other wise she would have removed this (i promise) and you would have gotten more then an earful back and it would have been from her but her pretending to be the FBI, she is famous for saying she has resources there.. ok I will let you go, I do not know who this Connie woman is but pass this on to her, if she wants to talk to me I will tell her everything I possibly can to help. She needs to be shut down.."

Lisa D. Haddad-North - Enabling and Marrying A CONVICTED Child Rapist - Michael Aaron North

http://innocentchildrenfoundation.wordpress.com/2011/06/17/here-it-is/




Hello everyone. There have been numerous complaints against the article pertaining to Michael Aaron North because of the picture of Lisa D. Haddad-North. I have taken the picture of Lisa D. Haddad North off the blog because I do not wish to cause any trouble for Blogger. In the complaint letter the Blogger representative states that "REGARDLESS OF MERIT" they have to have the picture taken down. So, Lisa D. Haddad North, your picture is down, for now. Once we have one that is not copyrighted (which I sincerely doubt the one that was up is, since there isn't a water-mark stating so) you face will then again be associated with a CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST.

Also, you may or may not be aware that Michael Aaron North's parole officer stated plainly and crystal clear that these two people are NOT allowed to be viewing the blogs regarding him. They are not to be viewing Facebook pages, MySpace and ANY other social networking sites. Just so we can make this even more clear, here is an excerpt from the email:

"-------- Original Message --------
Subject: RE: [FWD: RE:]
From: "XXX XXX, XXX X. (DOC)"
Date: Mon, August 23, 2010 10:37 am
To:

It appears CCO XXXXXXXXX and the Supervisor directed Mr. North to stop all viewing of internet blogs, Facebook, Social Networking site etc. Mr. North was advised that he is responsible if his fiancé accesses these sites as well.

I will speak to Mr. North regarding his payments to see if there is a possibility of some relief there.


Please let me know if there is anything else you have concerns about. I’ll do my best to communicate as much information as I am allowed.

There was more to the email, but I feel that it is of a personal matter that the public does not need to be made aware - unless Amanda wants you all to know. I can say this convicted child rapist - Michael Aaron North - is way behind on paying back his restitution. I can only hope that Amanda will file contempt charges on this convicted child rapist - Michael Aaron North and that she also takes this new complaint to the parole officer. I have been given permission to speak with Michael Aaron North's parole officer since there is only one person who could have made the complaint - LISA D. HADDAD North- fiancee of a convicted child rapist.

Thank you for reading.

Children Who Needed OUR Help

There is no way that in my lifetime I could ever produce these wonderfully heart-felt videos as ShonyaKay has. Nor could I ever write with words to convey the tragedies that were these children's lives as Shonya has through her videos. Ms. Shonya has a gift and to continue to try and explain them would be an injustice to her work.

Please veiw ShonyaKay's YouTube Channel at the link below. All of these children had someone who loved them and tried to stop their abuse. I have read up on all of these children and it's sad to say that neighbors had either seen or heard the abuse and turned a blind eye or a deaf ear to it thinking it was none of their business. It is up to us all to save a child. Police have stated numerous times that they would rather investigate a report of a child where abuse was mistaken than to come upon a scene such as Dominique Calhoun's.

Everyday I awake to another story of a child being brutally beaten or neglected by the very people who are supposed to take care of them. Not just parents, but authorities in CPS/DHS and in the family court system. I would like just one day for it to stop. Just.Stop. It's getting to be too much.

Here is her link: http://www.youtube.com/user/shonyakay

Thank you, Shonya. Thank you to all who read and then watch.

DEMAND Justice For Juliette Guerts - 2 Year Old Murdered

http://www.petitiononline.com/54301/petition.html

Aaron Vargas - Sentencing

It is with sadness and shock that I update you all on Aaron Vargas' sentencing. He was sentenced today to 9 years in prison. Details as to what the judge said before he handed down the sentence were not stated. I can only imagine what it could have been.

I am quite aware that the justice system does not always work, but this sentencing today has made me more aware that victims of child sexual abuse will never be heard and understood. I read blogs around the net where these victims speak their pain through the written word and I come away "numb". A gentleman committed suicide just over a month ago because of the torment and pain he endured his entire life do to the child sexual abuse that was done to him. With all the love and support of his family, he still could not come away from feeling shamed and lost from the abuse. Now, another has lost 9 more years of his life due to a pedophile. What is wrong with this world? Why do we care about a pedohile who abused numerous children? Who ruined their lives? Who took away their childhood and maybe the rest of their lives? Bleeding heart liberals anger me. There is nothing more precious than a child, their innocense! WHEN will we all stand up and be the VOICE for a child? I understand that vigilante justice is not the answer, but from what has been told regarding Aaron's case, he did not mean to shoot his abuser. His abuser asked to babysit his baby daughter, we can only imagine what type of fear that brought on Aaron. Why is it that normal, compassionate, empathetic people can see that as a threat but the "officials" cannot? Things need to change immediately.

Aaron's sister Mindy went above and beyond in trying to get justice for her brother. As I have said many times, I applaud her. I hope this does not deter her from advocating for child abuse victims. She and her supporters got the public and the media to see what type of epidemic we have in our country regarding child sexual abuse/rape. And now, hopefully the media will report on the injustice this man has been handed to him. Congratulations, Mindy! Proud is not even the right word that can describe what I feel for you. Your hard work and determination was not lost on the public. You are a true hero!

This is a statement that Mindy wrote on her Facebook page:

"Aaron got sentenced to 9 years. We need to go to the Governor and ask him to step in. I will organize a protest at the State Capitol. I will change the petition to target the Governor. If anyone as other ideas, please let me know. I'm still kind of in shock. I was told that filing an appeal is not an option. I believe he will have to serve just over 6 years."


Mindy, I wish I could be there to protest with you. I stand her now speaking my outrage at this injustice, FREE AARON VARGAS!!! He has sufferend too much in his young life.

I found this article of what the judge said, I agree to a point. 9 years is too long:

Aaron Vargas - Update

I wanted to give an update on what is going on with the Aaron Vargas case. Aaron has plead no contest to voluntary manslaughter. There are two hearings coming up, June 14th and June 15th. The 14th hearing, they will hear the facts of the case. On the 15th, he will be sentenced. Mindy has been asking for all of us to write the judge a letter to ask for treatment instead of prison time. Please email your letters to Saveaaron@yahoo.com. There are currently over 2,000 people on the Facebook page and as of last weekend, Mindy has only received 60 letters. Please do all that you can to help Aaron. Also, I have been forwarded this latest message from Mindy:

"The DA's office is going to be asking for the maximum of 10 years in prison. You can e-mail the DA's office at the attached link or you can e-mail the DA directly at Meredith@Lintott4da.org. Or you can phone the DA at 707-972-3260. The gag order has been lifted, and it states on the DA's website, "Meredith is happy to discuss the issues with you!""

Wayanne Cougar - Oops, Kruger

Having been forwarded comments from Ms. Kruger's Facebook, I feel the need to get some things straight. It is a lie when she claims she has never spoken to me or worked with me. She has asked on numerous occasions if I would write for her 288a Reform page, even though I had told her I am not a journalist or a writer several times. She has said that I know more about Connie's case than she does, but then also states that she has Connie's entire case file. From what I understand Connie doesn't even have a copy of her own case file, because it is enormous. I believe that is just another one of her lies that are quickly stacking up. Just so you are aware, with all of her emails and Facebook comments, she claims she is a psychologist, lawyer, nurse, author, musician, child advocate, mandated reporter, poet, hepatitis advocate, a celebrity and public figure. The question is which one is she today?


When I first heard that Connie was going to accept help from Ms. Kruger, I had the instant feeling of regret; I knew this would not end "OK". I went to Wayanne's Facebook and MySpace pages and the first thing I thought was, "ME! ME! Look at ME world!" The photographs of herself everywhere are eerie, to say the least. And as I was researching, I saw where in the Haleigh Cummings case people were saying that "she is not quite right in the head." I kept my feelings to myself. Why? Because Ms. Kruger is supposedly a child advocate with a PhD who claimed she wanted and could help Connie and Aaliyah. Hind-sight is always 20/20, isn't it?

I have given Connie all of the correspondence between Wayanne and me in order for her to take them to the police. I will upload some of them once they are in his hands; I want him to see them first. I can honestly say that my responses to her always had "What are you talking about? I don't understand what it is you want or need me to do." I gave up on a couple of them and didn't respond to her scattered, random thoughts. But either the next day or maybe two days later, I'd receive another in my inbox. Even after March 10th, the day Connie had told Ms. Kruger that she did not want her on her case any longer, I received more emails. More of the lies she stated in the video she had done, but even more grandiose than before. I had asked her for proof of what she was saying but she would totally ignore the question, continue with her nonsense and diatribes of her past glory and more lies about Connie. It was apparent the reason for the dramatic change in Wayanne's behavior stemmed from Connie and Darrel telling Wayanne that they did not want her on her case any longer and to take all of the information down off the Internet.


I have been given multiple emails where Wayanne is speaking to Connie's Grandmother. In the emails, Wayanne lies, slanders and defames Connie behind her back. It specifically says, "Do not let Connie know what I am saying to you." To me, that is always an indicator of deception. If anything she was saying in those emails were true, why wouldn't she want Connie to know? Is it perhaps because Connie had just asked her to leave her case? Also, she addresses her grandmother by name, but then says, "I adore your sister" and then a few sentences down she mentions Cara. Then she goes on to ask for Connie’s father’s information so she could contact him as well. Clearly, there is something wrong with this woman.

Connie sent her this "cease and desist" letter on March 18th after Wayanne's harassment continued every day from March 10th:

"From: Connie Bedwell
Subject: Legal notice
To: "Wayanne Kruger"
Date: Thursday, March 18, 2010, 4:58 AM



Wayanne I am giving you legal notice to quit harassing myself, my family and friends with your lies and slander that you decided to make up about me.

I am also giving you legal notice to quit raising funds in Aaliyah's and my name or SaveAaliyah.com's name. You do not have permission to do so.

Take down EVERYTHING from all of your pages that you have posted about my case, lies about my case or anything you have on your page promoting my case. Take all of it down. You are not on my case so quit talking to people pretending you are when you or not. This is your legal notice to quit your harassment and slander.

Connie Bedwell

Sent from my oh so very Jewish iPhone!!! Visit Saveaaliyah.com"


After this message was sent, I received a few more emails from Wayanne. She was still asking me to write for her. And everything she had said in her previous emails changed again. I came right out and asked what was wrong with her because nothing she said made any sense. At this same time, everything was still up on her Facebook page and she was still asking for funds in Aaliyah's and Connie's name. And to top it all off, someone had even posted this letter on Wayanne's site just a day ago and Wayanne claims to have never seen it. This is a lie because I have seen her responses.



I have read comments dating up until today, April 9th, where Wayanne is stating that Connie wanted her to do this or that as if she is still working on the case. What she is doing reminds me of what Wayanne claims Chris BB 12 is doing to her. All of this concerns me. No matter how many times I asked for her credentials, she would literally avoid the question. I even went so far as to send a one sentence email to her asking for her credentials, what I received in return was the longest email I have seen in a long time with not one word answering my question. Truly amazing.



Wayanne has claimed on her Facebook that her PhD is on her wall, Connie and Darrel have both seen this "diploma". It is on her wall and they say it has the name of "Rae Elisabeth Klein", her pseudonym for her "writing". They also say it looks as if she either printed it herself or ordered it online. How can someone possibly have a PhD in a pseudonym?



I also have an email from Connie where she writes to a real psychologist asking for advice about Wayanne. Just one sentence from the email, "She told a story about her being drugged, she constantly thinks someone is stalking or tailgating her, she always thought someone was listening in on our calls, she has 3 ghosts that she thinks lives in her house that she talks to." This real psychologist said these exact words, "I'm not sure if I replied to this email... but I think you better distance yourself from this person... far and fast." I'm wondering if the ghosts she speaks to are really the different personalities in her mind. Once you see the emails, you will understand.



I don't have any ill will towards Wayanne, I really think she needs help. I am not a doctor of course, but does anyone else find her behavior out of the ordinary?



If any of you have donated to Wayanne for Connie or Aaliyah, please let me know. She has been asked to stop discussing the case and posting pictures/videos on her Facebook, but she doesn't stop; so we need to make sure she isn't committing fraud as well.



When I can post the emails, I will. Until then, thank you for listening. I just felt this needed to be said for the Bedwell family and public awareness.

Michael "Mike" Aaron North - Sex Offender in Seattle, Washington

http://innocentchildrenfoundation.wordpress.com/2011/06/17/here-it-is/


WARNING: NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN - EXPLICIT LANGUAGE

As part of our public safety awareness campaign, we posted photos of Convicted Child Rapist, Michael Aaron North and his fiance Lisa Diane Haddad-North on this and other blogs. These photos were obtained after I, Amanda Parisi, was cyberstalked by Michael Aaron North in April 2010.

I would not have been able to obtain these photos had 1) I not been stalked and 2) the photos were protected by a photographers watermark or 3)TRULY copyrighted. I was smart from the jump when I developed my website, I made sure everything was protected be it text OR photos. I did this because I wanted to protect my information, because it was mine - BECAUSE I HAVE EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO IT ALL.

The majority of the photos were obtained from a PUBLIC FORUM: FaceBook and TheKnot, but I also obtained photos from a website Michael created for himself where he was proudly displaying his work AND photos. We all know once Michael was exposed, he took the site down.

What I have always known, that clearly Michael and/or Lisa did not, is that they had 90 days from the date of their initial revelation that I had used these photos, to mail each and every image directly to the Copyright office. I also know, which clearly they do not, that the Copyright office is taking anywhere from 18 to 24 months to process applications. However, had they MAILED their photos in, I would be able to find them on the Federal Copyright page, which I most certainly do NOT see their names and any "open orders" on the site.

Had they mailed the photos and paid the fee, that would have been enough to POSSIBLY stop me from using SOME of the photos but as most of us know, once you place a photo on FaceBook THEY own it and they do NOT prevent users from being able to right click and save, which means - I did not take any of the photos ILLEGALLY. (90 days have expired, FYI.)

Michael Aaron North and Lisa Diane Haddad-North have been repeatedly viewing our blogs and despite each of them being strongly advised by his parole officer to stay away from our sites, they have continued to visit and insist we remove all of their images and the owners of these will honor that request.

I will never fear (or back down) from any possible legal entanglement with Michael Aaron North because I know who will come out the winner in the end. Everything I DO is within a legal perimeter. Much as it was when I passed out the fliers of Michael on his street, because Religious and Not-for-Profit organizations ARE ALLOWED to go door to door in the State of Washington, where nobody else is. Believe me kids, I DO my research first.

So, that being said, you will ALWAYS be able to view photos of the convicted Child Rapist, Michael Aaron North and his fiance Lisa Diane Haddad North here:
www.innocentchildrenfoundation.us

All you have to do is click the "Child Rapist Exposed" link on the homepage, you can't miss it.

Lastly, since I am not making money from the photos, there truly ISN'T any infringements here.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Because of the lies Michael is saying to his fiancee, her family and friends, here now you can read the actual documents that prove what a liar he truly is:

(WARNING: NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN - EXPLICIT LANGUAGE)





















UPDATE:

Here are the loan papers that prove I did not steal any money and that my mother co-signed the loan for MICHAEL AARON NORTH (which he never paid back):







AND also......where it proves that MICHAEL AARON NORTH STALKED me on my LinkedIn:







I can't wait to see how he spins this one. Can't hide from the TRUTH! It ALWAYS PREVAILS!

Aaron Vargas Update

UPDATE 4/5/10: Aaron has a hearing tomorrow at 1:30, he will be pleading to voluntary manslaughter. Needless to say, this upsets me quite a bit. How can we change the system if the system is allowed to keep abusing true victims. If you are in Fort Bragg and can make it to the hearing, please do so, Mindy has asked that all who can, please come.


I wanted to give a short update on Aaron Vargas. His trial is coming up quickly, it will be on April 20th, 2010. There are still things that need to be done, please write a letter to the judge for sentencing. Please address letters to Judge Ronald Brown and urge him to give leniency and let Aaron get help. Please put your contact information on the letter (it won't be shared). You can email letters to SaveAaron@yahoo.com. If you need to mail the letter, please email me and I will give you a mailing address to send it to. There will also be a rally on the 17th, to show the DA how much Aaron is supported by his community and the nation.

We all need to show our support for Aaron. If you go to his website: www.saveaaron.com, there is a button on top that says "How You Can Help". Please click there, Aaron's address to where you can write him is there along with how you can send him a "care pack". There are so many victims such as Aaron. Your support and words can help them all.

I thank you all for following Aaron's case. I pray that justice will be served and Aaron will be able to go home to his fiance and his daughter. He deserves to live a pain/fear-free adulthood.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Aaron.

Thank you,


Troy

Damage Control & An Apology

I had written today about Connie Bedwell and Darrel Payne speaking out on video, thanking the public and speaking directly to Aaliyah and about Aaliyah.

I was not aware that there were so many mistakes with what Wayanne had wrote along side of her video where she is explaining her advocacy for Connie. I cannot with good conscious link to Wayanne's page until all the mistakes are fixed. I am not sure if she is getting cases mixed up with Connie's, but the restraining order is not about Connie not being allowed to see Aaliyah although it restricts her from contacting her, the main purpose described in the restraining order is to not allow Connie to post on the Internet. It's clear it's a violation of her civil rights of free speech and doesn't fall under any grounds of a harassment RO. Connie has not had any contact with Dustin since 50/50 custody where Dustin tried to manipulate Connie into not taking Aaliyah to the hospital two weeks prior to Aaliyah's disclosure of "Daddy's Worm" being in her mouth. We all know that the RO was put in place to control Connie and to stop her from disclosing what Aaliyah has said about her father. There are several statements in Wayanne's video that are untrue as well. Connie did not give her permission to post some of those videos, and Darrel had no idea that one of them was even being used to be posted but was under the impression it was to test the camera shot.

This case also is not about money nor never has been. For a year now, people who have been supporting Connie and Aaliyah have tried to make it clear that if people chose to donate money to help with obtaining and then keeping legal counsel then it was appreciated. It clearly states on saveaaliyah.com that what was needed was a lawyer, psychologist or any person of authority that could give advice or their help in any way shape or form. I have a copy of The check of where that money went and it went straight to Connie's attorney fighting to get Aaliyah out of "Daddy's worm" care.

I hope that Wayanne will fix these mistakes, but until then I am not linking to her page for I know how much the truth, facts and intricate details mean to Connie and her case. Facts are facts, let's keep them straight for Aaliyah's sake.

Thank you and I apologize for any inconvenience,

Aaron Vargas - Trial Continuance?

UPDATE 3/8/10: The hearing on the continuance was changed to this Friday at 8:30am. They're hoping the trial will only be continued to April 20th, and that the March jury selection dates will stay the same.


Here is an update about Aaron Vargas. The prosecution is asking for another continuance for the case to go to trial. Apparently, two of their witnesses will not be available during the time of the trial, wich was set for March 22nd. Here are words from Mindy, Aaron's sister:


"There will be a protest on Saturday, March 20th from 11am-1pm on the corner of Laurel & Main Streets in Fort Bragg (next to Town Hall). The Fort Bragg Whale Festival is happening that weekend, so the town will be busy. I am expecting the media to be there filming.

For all of you newbies, there is a Save Aaron online store where you can purchase pins, clothing, bumperstickers, and more! I just added new products. www.cafepress.com/saveaaron

It is especially important for Mendocino County residents to display Save Aaron merchandise so that the country will see (through the media) that we support Aaron. It would be great to get pics of people with the merchandise so that I can post them on the website. You can email pics to: SaveAaron@yahoo.com

The prosecutor has asked that the trial be continued. The defense opposes this request. There will be a hearing on March 19th at 9am. Aaron is not taking this news well. The trial has been continued several times and it sends him on an emotional rollercoaster. Please write to Aaron:

Aaron Vargas, Inmate# 71742
Mendocino County Jail
951 Low Gap Road
Ukiah, CA 95482

Thank you!"

Again,for anyone new to this case; please see: http://www.saveaaron.com

Thank you,

Aaron Vargas - The Media Takes His Story

Here are a few links where you can read the newest information regarding Aaron's case. The San Fransisco Chronicle did a front page story last weekend. His sister has said that his story will also be on "Good Morning America!" very soon! I am hoping that with the new media attention, Aaron will have justice and he will be able to go home to his baby girl.

For those of you new to Aaron's case, you can goto his website: www.saveaaron.com There you will find all of his information. Please also sign the petition and pass his website and the petition on to your friends. The DA needs to understand that Aaron is a victim of sexual child abuse.

Thank you.

Breaking the Silence - Children's Stories

I came accross this website and program while talking with a follower of my Twitter page. Everytime that I say that stories such as Connie Bedwell's, Kaylee's and the others I have written about happen everyday; I always have a commentor telling me I am incorrect. I am not wrong.

These stories are not something I like to read about. I have to force myself to do so, because I know how horrific these children have either been abused or abused to death and after reading/watching it's hard for me to concentrate on anything else. I force myself to read/watch them in order for me to be educated on the affects of child abuse. I want to educate you, my readers, that we all have voices. We are all voices for these children and protective parents. Two voices are more powerful than 10,0000 voices in silence. The court system is allowing documented domestic violent abusers to gain custody of their children. This is apalling to me. It infuriates me. Just watch one video on Youtube in memorium of any child that has endured and ultimately lost their life to child abuse and tell me that WE have nothing to do with these situations. Watch Baby P's videos. Watch Kelsey Smith Briggs' videos. They are heart-breaking and traumatic. Educate yourselves, please.

Stand up and DO something for these families, especially for the children who are NOT being heard.

Thank you.

16 Year Old's Request Denied - Mother in JAIL"

Another protective mother is in jail because a judge will not listen to the cries of a child. The saddest part is that the child is 16 years old. He can speak. He knows what is right and wrong. What is a lie. The police saw the bruising his father inflicted, but sadly, the judge will not listen. Please read below and then go to the petition and sign it. Please be a voice, a voice that will be heard when said, "We are tired of court appointed child abuse!" If we all do not get involved, nothing will change.

"Sixteen-year old Casey has been denied his request to move away from his allegedly abusive father and move to his mother's house. His mother, Rondi Anderson, is threatened with jail time if he does not return.

Since being made case management judge in 2002 and following reports made by Ms. Anderson and her sons, ages 7 and 8, that the boys were being abused while in their father's care. Justice Darlene Acton made a ruling that the father of Casey and his younger brother should be awarded sole custody and that their mother, Rondi Anderson, should have no contact with her boys whatsoever.

Recently Casey was brought to his mother's residence when the police arrived after an assault on Casey by his father who had punched Casey in the face, kicked him in the head, and beaten him relentlessly. Once with his mother, Casey told her that this abuse was ongoing. He told Rondi that for years the boys had been told by their father and other relatives that she was an unfit mother. Casey reported his younger brother, his dad's new wife, and her five-year old daughter, were all victims of abuse by his father as well.

Casey told his mother that he had been drinking heavily and taking drugs since he was twelve years old. He also reported that he had been suspended from school twelve times in junior high for drug use, counterfeiting, and other behavioral issues. When Casey was returned to his mother, he had not been taken to the dentist since she had last taken him and his brother in May 2004. In 2002, Judge Acton had (upon the father's request) ordered that Rondi not be allowed to take the children to any doctor nor have access to school or school records.

Since Casey has been living with his mother, he has been attending school regularly and is currently on the honor roll. While maintaining his grades, Casey also holds down a part-time job at a nearby restaurant. Casey says that he now feels safe, happy, and loved. Yet, when Casey filed a motion asking the judge that he no longer be forced to live with his father, and asking that he be allowed to reside with his mother, the judge denied the motion and ordered that Casey be immediately returned to his father. Upon hearing of the judge's ruling, Casey contacted Social Services, who admitted that while they have enough proof that Casey's father is abusive, they cannot go against the judge. Child Protective Services has currently turned the case over to a supervisor.

Meanwhile, Casey's father's attorney called for a secret hearing on this coming Tuesday, February 23. It has been threatened, and is likely that, as in the past, Ms. Anderson will be jailed if she is unable to force her sixteen-year old son to return to his father. It is also possible that Casey may even be jailed as well. We are asking that the proper authorities open an investigation of this case and that Casey be allowed to reside with his mother while such an investigation is ongoing. It is unclear as to why, when legitimate concerns of abuse were raised by Rondi and her sons, that all of Ms. Anderson's parental rights were suddenly terminated. It is also unclear as to why, especially given the incidents surrounding and leading up to a sixteen-year old's return to his mother that his request be denied without question.

For years Ms. Anderson has exhausted her resources in fighting for the welfare of her sons, and now when one of the sons is of a reasonable age to decide where he would like to live, his desires are not even taken into consideration. We are asking that this young man be granted the right to choose where he wishes to live, and that the welfare of his younger brother who still remains in his father's care, be seriously investigated. We are asking that the opinions of Social Services be heavily weighed in this case, and that these inexcusable decisions made by Justice Darlene Acton over the past eight years, which have so dramatically affected the lives of these two boys, be seriously questioned. Also, that Judge Acton be held accountable for what appears to be a critical mishandling of justice and blatant abuse of her authority."

Haleigh Cummings – 2010

Haleigh Cummings – 2010

Originally published: January 18, 2010

I haven’t written about Haleigh Cummings’ case because I do not know much about it. What I do know is she was abducted on February 10, 2009. Ronald Cummings’, her father, 17 year old girlfriend, Misty Croslin, was babysitting her when it happened. Misty and Ronald ended up getting married. Ronald got a “memorial” tattoo of Haleigh. Numerous family arrests on drug charges. Hank Jr stating he was at the house the night of the abduction, Misty and the children were not there. Dead rats in mail boxes. Restraining orders placed on family members. Failed poly graph tests and others as such. Misty and Ronald divorce. And Haleigh is still missing.
I am beyond frustrated with this case. My main frustration is that Ronald and Misty are not looking for this child. What is it they know? Why hasn’t Misty been charged with child endangerment, at the least? What are the authorities doing to help find this child? Every concerned parent of a missing child (and in my opinion who had nothing to do with the child going missing) would be on the news pleading for the public and the authorities to find their child.

Another beautiful child is lost, more lost than 11 months ago. Please, if anyone has any information regarding this child; please contact the authorities: haleigh@putnamsheriff.org

We need to find her and bring her home. Do not let her become a cold case. She deserves more than that.

Because my blog is about child sexual/physical abuse, I am going to post the links to where you can watch Oprah’s show that aired yesterday, February 8, 2010 in case any of you missed it.

I can honestly say that I would not have the composure that Oprah has while interviewing these people. I can understand that this is a sickness in a way, but it is proven that child molesters/pedophiles are not rehabilitative. From their own mouths they say they cannot be cured. I commend Oprah and the psychotherapists that has worked with these four offenders they are speaking with. I have to say how disgusted I feel by listening to their stories. I cannot understand. I cannot comprehend, no matter how much they speak of it, there is no understanding that I will ever have.

It makes my skin crawl knowing there are people out there like these four. I can only hope that this will help parents and children to not become a victim or a statistic.

“He is Not A Threat” – Famous Last Words of A Judge

Originally published: February 4, 2010 by troyofillinois

UPDATE: 2/10/10: Here is a link to read where ONE of the two judges that denied the emergency restraining order against Garcia called Ms. Teagle a “liar”. She now has to live without her baby boy. http://bit.ly/b1Sx5b Also, there were THREE judges in all that called her a liar.

I came upon this story while on Twitter. It took me over three hours to read this horror story on line. I am sick to death of judges, courts and people who claim that things like this just do not happen. I am so tired of hearing of protective parents trying, in vain, to save their children and themselves. This needs to end. It just needs to END!

A 9 month old baby boy named Wyatt was murdered by his father because Wyatt’s mother would not get back together with him. He threatened her via email, text messages and phone messages. He threatened her face to face. He made a website detailing his rage. He pushed her down when she refused his marriage proposal. He hit her during a fight and told a judge that it was her fault, “she was pushing and pushing until she got something out of me”. The judge seemed to think that it was only about an upcoming custody battle and that this mother was only screaming abuse. These two judges that did not give the emergency restraining orders to this woman should be taken off the bench and NEVER allowed to hear another case, ever.
After the coward murdered his baby boy, he committed suicide. Six hours later a suicide note and a photo montage was uploaded to his Facebook account. The police are looking for the person who helped with those posts.

Kelsey Smith Briggs – Tragedy Still in Progress

Kelsey Smith Briggs – Tragedy Still in Progress

Originally published: January 28, 2010 by troyofillinois

KarenCCC had mentioned this little girl’s name in numerous posts for Aaliyah. She states Kelsey is the reason for getting involved in Connie and Aaliyah Bedwell’s case. I finally have found some time to do some research about this precious child, and I do not like what I have come across.

Kelsey Smith Briggs was a two year old child who was physically abused, sexually abused and murdered on October 11, 2005. DHS/CPS was involved with her for the last precious months of her life. Apparently, Raye Dawn Smith had no allegations of being accused of child abuse until Micheal Lee Porter made his way into their lives. Thanks to a lot of anger and resentment from both sides of the family, there are numerous blogs and forums to find information reagarding this tragedy. And also thanks to all of that animosity, I have come to a conclusion on who murdered this child.

First let me tell you that Raye Dawn Smith, the mother of Kelsey, was convicted of enabling abuse and is sitting in prison for 27 years. Michael Lee Porter is also sitting in prison for the same charges of enabling abuse, but for 30 years. He was initially charged with sexual abuse and murder, but was offered the plea of enabling abuse, which the paternal side of the family agreed to. As you can see, this is an injustice since no one has been convicted of Kelsey’s murder. There are numerous friends and family, on both sides, who believe that the other is responsible for the murder.

Kelsey’s first sign of abuse was when she was taken to the hospital with a broken collarbone. The hospital staff believed it to be child abuse. The police did not. People who are in support of Raye Dawn say the police who investigated the story of how Kelsey had broken her collarbone believed that she had fallen out of her crib. The people who support Michael Porter believe that because one of the officers was a friend of Raye’s, he would have said anything to help her. My opinion? They both could be right. A broken collarbone in a child is the most common broken bone of any, but it is also the most tell-tale sign of child abuse in such young children. The hospital staff claim that the bruises on her face did not coincide with the broken bone. I don’t understand that, so I do not wish to argue about who is right or wrong. The fact is, Raye Dawn was charged with child abuse by CPS. Kelsey was taken out of her home and placed with the paternal grandmother, Kathie Briggs. Kathie is the mother of Lance Briggs, the biological father. According to the websites and forums, Lance and Raye Dawn divorced before Kelsey was born. Raye Dawn supporters believe the divorce happened because Lance was physically abusive towards Raye. Michael Porter supporters believe that Raye just wanted a new man with money. Here is my first argument. According to friends and family on both sides, including Kathie, Lance was physical at one time or another during their relationship. It has also been stated that Raye Dawn was abusive. From my research on abusive relationships, women tend to not press charges nor do they go to the hospital when their partners are abusive. Why? Because they do not want to sever the relationship as of yet and nor do they want to “ruin” the life of their abuser by sending them to jail. That is tragic in itself. But now, Raye does not have any proof of the physical altercations, other than biased witnesses. Her side of her family and friends say it all happened how Raye stated it to have happened. And all of Lance’s side of his family and friends say things happened the way Lance had told it. Do you see the problem? I believe that there is always some truth in a lie and that people do embellish a bit. So, I will again say that Raye and Lance are telling the truth with what happened within their relationship behind closed doors. I will say this though, reading a “transcript” (quotations because it was written by a Raye Dawn supporter) of the recent hearing on the settlement Lance received after suing Oklahoma’s CPS of the wrongful death of his daughter, he stated he and Raye Dawn did not do drugs during their marriage, whereas Raye has said they did. BUT, in another transcript of Raye’s enabling abuse trial, he had stated that they BOTH had used drugs during their marriage. So, that is one lie that I have caught him in. And my beliefs tend to sway towards Raye at this point.

The main “fight” between the two groups of Raye Supporters and Mike Supporters is that Raye was told at her trial that “she should have known” her daughter was being abused by Michael Porter if in fact she was not the one giving her daughter the numerous bruises that poor Kelsey had. If you read all the information out there on this case, I can see where some believe that Raye may not have known. Why? Because every incident or bruise, Michael had an excuse. The child seemed to ONLY get hurt around him. But shouldn’t that have been the brightest red flag to Raye? Yes, indeed it should. Not only the bruises, but Kelsey would vomit, scream and cry when she was going to be left alone with Mike. Also, during one supervised visitation, Kelsey had stated to her mother that “daddy Mike hurt my feets and head.” Raye Dawn laughed and told her, “Mike couldn’t have hurt you, you haven’t seen him.” That makes my stomach turn ever time I hear that. Kelsey was crying out to her mother and she was laughed at, by the woman who was supposed to protect her. Michael was not allowed to be around Kelsey at this time and it seems that Raye Dawn was covering for the fact that she was indeed allowing him around her daughter. Grave mistake. Sad mistake.
Let me skip to the broken legs. Yes, Kelsey suffered two spiral breaks in both of her legs. At first, everyone thought she had only sprained her ankle on a trip to the zoo with her aunt. Neither parent nor grandparent were around her. Kelsey was taken to the doctor and her ankle was x-rayed. She was diagnosed with a sprained ankle. The doctor’s note stated for her to rest her ankle and walk as much as able. Raye states that the doctor told her to rest the ankle, but walking would be fine if tolerable and it would benefit Kelsey to not baby it. I will agree that doctors do say to do things that are not written on a form letter, but others will disagree with me; and that is fine. According to Raye Supporters, Raye had nothing to do with the breaks. According to Mike Supporters, she broke the baby’s legs because she wanted to frame Lance and his then wife Ashley for child abuse so she could have Kelsey all to herself. My first thought was that Mike broke the baby’s legs. Didn’t Kelsey say that “daddy Mike hurt my feets and head”? Yes, she did. I cannot imagine a mother breaking her own child’s legs just to frame someone, but I have a heart and a conscience. Because Kelsey’s legs were broken in the care of Kelsey’s aunt and in Kathie’s custody, they deemed it child abuse with an “unknown” perpetrator and took Kelsey out of Kathie’s home and into Kelsey’s great-grandmother’s care. The case worker stated to the judge that she did not feel that it was in the best interest of Kelsey to have Kathie as a carer. So, who broke Kelsey’s legs? Were they just an accident at the zoo or something more devastating?

In case anyone is wondering where Lance, the bio-dad, is during all of this; he is in the Army waiting to be deployed to Iraq. I am not going to get into all the he said/she said about Lance’s Army stint. I will give my opinion though, shoot, isn’t that why I am writing this? It seems to me, because there really is lack of proof of where he actually was and what he was doing at any given time of his Army career, that Lance has either a drug or alcohol problem. He also has an anger management problem. I am not saying he was not deployed to Iraq. What I am saying is I doubt he was the soldier his family and supporters make him out to be. I believe I read that he was in numerous fisticuffs while enlisted and there are rumors he was in an alcohol/drug rehabilitation center when his daughter was murdered. CPS could never get any verification where Lance was and Kathie stated numerous times that she “didn’t want to upset Lance about the situation at home” and claimed she did not have an address to write him nor a phone number to call. I am not saying any of that is untrue, I just find it very odd. I have known several people in the military and I have been able to get in touch with them all, at least my mail. Anyway, this is why Lance was absent when his daughter was going through all of this trauma. And for all of you, I do not blame him in any way, shape or form for his daughter’s death. I feel for him and wish his pain would subside, just a little. I just do not believe that he was an upstanding soldier or citizen as he is being protrayed. That is just an opinion.

Raye Dawn and Mike decided to get married in April of 2005. As I said, I have been reading as much as I can on this case and the new blogs about Kelsey, Raye and Mike are so ridiculous. They actually make me ill while reading them. Before Kelsey was murdered, Raye and Mike “loved each other deeply”. After, accusations and “disgust” from both parties ensued. There are emails from Mike to Kathie’s family and friends that make me want to spit in their faces. I do not buy that Kathie and crew were trying to “get information” from him on who murdered Kelsey. In my opinion, they were making a case against Raye Dawn, without any facts; only hearsay from the murderer himself. Who better to make up stories and cast blame on to someone else other than the true perpetrator? How blind can one be? Raye decided to “come clean” about Mike’s behaviors toward her and Kelsey AFTER Kelsey was dead. As did Mike.

You, readers, have to read the OSBI reports right after the murder and THEN read the emails and statements they made about one another AFTER the murder. It’s sickening. Personally, I don’t believe either of them. I do believe that Raye Dawn abused her child, but I do not believe she had anything to do with her death. Well, other than the fact that she married the pedophile that did. The Mike Supporters keep arguing that he didn’t have any prior arrests or incidents regarding pedophilia. Well, they all have to start somewhere don’t they. It takes one child to be the first child. How ludicrous for these people to say that his “clean past” makes the bold statement of he could never have done such a terrible thing to a child. Kelsey would vomit and cry when she was left with this man. She would cry and vomit when he would try to give her a bath. He sexually abused that child in my opinion. Classic tell-tale signs, vomiting and crying when being left alone with a pedophile. Mike’s own daughter claimed she saw him “hit Kelsey’s head against a brick wall”, that very well could be the “prior closed head injury” that the Mike Supporters are screaming about in the autopsy. When I say that Raye Dawn abused her child, I feel she hit her at times and probably left some bruises, but I believe it was at the beckoning of Michael Lee Porter. Whitney also stated that she saw “daddy take Kelsey into the bedroom, close the door and she heard spanking and crying from Kelsey.” She also stated, “daddy was always mean to Kelsey when no one was around.” This is his own daughter making these statements. The Mike Supporters say that there is no proof that Whitney ever said these things. That can be easily found to be true or not, put Whitney on the stand.the only thing is though, it’s been 5 years now. What has Whitney been told to say or what kind of memories has Whitney been told to remember? How truly sad for Kelsey, the man that sexually abused and murdered her will never be allowed to be convicted for the crime. Another sad fact I have found is that the Mike Supporters claim he did not have enough time (30 minutes) to commit the murder. How completely moronic for them to say this, the medical examiner stated Kelsey would have bled out within 3-6 minutes of the final blow. Kelsey was sleeping soundly when Raye Dawn went to pick Whitney up from school. Mike had PLENTY of time to sexually abuse and murder that child. Everyday I read about children being murdered by their parents or parent’s boyfriends/girlfriends and strangers. It doesn’t take much to brutally punch/kick a child in the abdomen and kill them. And, by all statements pertaining to Kelsey’s condition, she was frail, thin and sickly at that time. I’m sure it didn’t take too much to fatally hurt her.

Raye Dawn Smith deserves to be in prison for 27 years for enabling abuse. Michael Lee Porter deserves to be in prison for life for the sexual abuse and murder of Kelsey Shelton Smith Briggs. I hope all of you research this case and come up with your own opinions of what happened to this beautiful child. I suggest to only read the actual reports and not the soap opera drama blogs from people who are telling two sides of the story, embellishing the good and the bad and out right lying to make their stories fit with the reports and their agendas. It is of my opinion that Kathie Briggs hated Raye Dawn so much that she conspired with the true murderer to put Raye Dawn in prison. I do not believe that Kathie had anything to do with the abuse, at least I’m fairly certain she did not. Remember, Kelsey was taken out of her care because DHS/CPS could not name an abuser in the broken legs and it was their suggestion Kelsey was not to be returned to Kathie’s care.

Here is a website where you can find the actual documents of the case:
http://thetruth4kelsey.blogspot.com/2010/01/angel-named-kelsey.html

Beware, the OSBI report of Raye Dawn is not the actual report. It was transcribed by Kathie Briggs’ daughter (or friend, I can’t quite remember what was said) so it could very well be biased and things may have been taken out or added. From there, you will be able to find all the soap opera drama I was speaking about. I have to reiterate that you should read the actual reports, OSBI, OCCY, Visitation Reports, Autopsies and such before you read other’s opinions. There is so much animosity towards both families, it’s hard to discern the truth from them. Also keep in mind that Mike Porter took a plea bargain, he pled to enabling abuse. He will never have to register as a sex offender, he is in prison under an assumed name, no known prison name and because of the plea, he will never be convicted for the murder of this child. DA Richard Smothermon stated he believed Mike sexually abused and murdered her, he just didn’t have enough evidence to prove it. Mike pleaded because he knew if enough time went by, Smothermon WOULD find that evidence. So truly sad. Mike makes me ill!

Good luck all! Kelsey, I hope you are able to find peace in your death soon. I am sorry your true murderer will never be punished for the terrible things he did to you on that fateful day. I am also sorry that your mother did not protect you, nor seem to care enough about you to take you away from that monster. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Rest In Peace little one.

Thank you for reading! And for all the drama queens out there regarding this case, this is MY personal opinion of what transpired. Do not threaten me with a law suit, I am allowed to voice my opinion.

UPDATE: I apologize to my readers for that mistake, when I read the website while posting this, it did not say that. It must have been changed before I copied and pasted. I will be more careful in the future!

This is becoming too hard to bear. Another little girl sent to live with a sexual abuser, this time to her step-brother. My soul is definitely scarred from reading these stories. We must stop saying that it doesn’t happen. This is happening every minute of every day, how will this ever stop? We all need to be voices for these children and protective parents who are not being heard. It’s just too much, I can’t write anymore:
“

“This is my daughter, M’kaila Denae. She has a tragic story to tell and I am here to share it with you.
When M’kaila was 2 years old her father and I split up. We never went to court to make formal custody arrangements. When she was about 3 1/2 her father filed custody out of retaliation for my asking for child support. The judge denied his request giving him simple visitation and awarded me physical custody and child support. This situation went on for about a year.
On her father’s summer visitation with her, which lasted about 2 weeks, M’kaila started to have some strange behavior. She was sleep walking, having nightmares and talking in her sleep. She had never done any of these things before. Although I thought it was strange, I dismissed it thinking she was just frightened of being in a new place and away from me.”

“Mommy, I’m Not Gonna Tell The Truth Anymore” – Lora Brislin

“Mommy, I’m Not Gonna Tell The Truth Anymore” – Lora Brislin

Originally published: January 18, 2010 by troyofillinois

I am literally tired of seeing and hearing about case such as this. A little girl at the age of 5 has now decided to not speak the truth so she will not endure beatings from her father, her custodial parent.
I have copied this from a petition. Please read this. It’s tragic, it’s sad and it goes along with Connie’s story, Kaylee’s story and many others. How can we continue to turn a blind eye and say that this does not happen. Can there be this many “delusional” and “vindictive” women out there? I seriously doubt it.

“Lora Brislin is the mother of two daughters ages 6 and 4. Lora has not spoken to or seen her daughters since April of this year (2009). In May, Judge Phyllis Miller of Gwinnett County, Georgia, ordered that ALL custody and visitation be taken from Lora, and that the girls be in the sole custody of their abusive father and his wife.
Lora endured 5 years of physical and mental abuse at the hands of her former husband, the father of their 2 girls, during which time he repeatedly hit Lora as well as stalked, harassed, and verbally abused her.
This man also served a lengthy term in jail as a result of a history of criminal activity. In one of his previous marriages, not only did he also abuse his former wife , he abandoned his son and gave up his parental rights in exchange for not having to pay child support.
During his marriage to Lora the father wanted nothing to do with his two daughters. When Lora finally found the courage to leave her abuser in October of 2006, the father suddenly became adamant about fighting for equal visitation. Not only did he get visitation of these children, he began threatening to take custody away from Lora Brislin.
For two years Ms. Brislin has heard numerous pleas of help from her daughters who claim they are being sexually molested by both their father and his new wife and has tried to make the courts listen to her and her children. Instead, she has been laughed at by the courts, told she was making false allegations against their father, and was a menace to her children. Not only was the TRUTH spoken by the little girls discarded, their father was able to pay a high priced attorney to turn everything around on Lora and convince others that she was the one molesting her daughters. Lora’s eldest daughter was beaten so badly when she would tell the truth about what was being done to her that one day she said, “Mommy, I’m not going to tell the truth anymore”. Imagine a 5 year old choosing the lesser of two evils as a means of looking out for herself because a system put into place to protect her chose not to do so? On May 7, 2009 the father was awarded sole custody, and Lora was ordered to have no contact with her daughters whatsoever by a Judge who has since been disbarred.
Lora Brislin, along with the undersigned, is confused by this outrageous injustice by the court. Ms. Brislin is not the only loving and responsible mother who has had her children literally ripped from her arms and placed in the sole custody of abusers. We are asking that this case be reopened and investigated. We ask that this egregious injustice be dealt with, and that Lora and her daughters be reunited. AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW THESE CHILDREN ARE NOT SAFE.
This grave misuse of power cannot be stood for! Clearly there is some other motive at work here. It is clear that something other than poor judgment on the part of a judge has caused this loving and protective mom to lose all contact with her children. No matter what that hidden agenda might be, if the court decision is allowed to stand, the Gwinnett County court system will be continuing to place these children in harm’s way and be punishing their mother for trying to protect them!
There are men and women all over the country, as well as all over the world, who are watching to see what is done about this horrific case of “court-sanctioned” abuse. We believe that if government officials do not intervene in cases like this in which a clear misuse of power has destroyed the lives of two young children and their mother, then the government should be seen as, not only negligent, but as condoning this outrageous behavior of judges who, seemingly, have to answer to no one!
Our family court system was supposed to have been put in place for the purpose of aiding families, and in cases where abuse is involved, supporting the protective parent, thereby ensuring the safety of innocent and defenseless children. In this case, however, it appears that the very system that was put into place for the purpose of protecting children is, instead, contributing to the traumatizing of these helpless victims. We, the undersigned, are standing together in an attempt to speak for these little ones who are not allowed to speak for themselves and, in order to prevent further destruction in their lives, we are asking that this case be revisited and that The Truth finally be brought into The Light so that justice can prevail!”

Please, stop accusing the protective parents. Stop protecting the abusers. These children are our future. Sign the petition, please.

Caylee Marie Anthony – Chloroform – New Documents

I am still reading the new doc dump from this week. I hope to write another short post soon about this case. I can say that I get more annoyed everytime they push her trial back. There is no evidence, that has been given to the public, that proves she didn't kill her child. What is the hold up?

Originally published: November 8, 2009

I don’t read any blogs or comments on this case. I read only the documents that are put out by the prosecution. Every time I do, I am more amazed and saddened by this case. I do, however, wish the documents in the Bedwell case would be published by the prosecution (or the courts) so we can see the truth as we do with Caylee’s case.
I was never on the fence with who killed Caylee. I knew even before she was found that Casey Marie Anthony did something to her. No mother, who claims to love their child, would wait 31 days to inform ANYONE of her missing daughter. And every time I read another word regarding what happened, I am sickened and saddened to no end. I see that precious child’s face with each letter written on paper, hoping what she went through did not happen. Praying that she felt no pain. With having no understanding of what her mother allegedly did to her, not even having the capacity to acknowledge what was being done. I cannot fathom the thought process of a person in which they decide to do such heinous things. And especially to their own flesh and blood. What could that lovely, smiling little person have done to make her mother even think about doing what she has allegedly done? Absolutely nothing.
I wonder if the prosecution decided to disclose these findings now since her lawyer’s are trying to implicate that the charges against her were unlawful and want them dismissed? I hope to read next that there are finger prints and/or DNA linking the syringe and bottle to Casey Anthony. I wonder what her parents are thinking? I wonder if they will still stand by her after they read that? What do they think now about the new evidence put out for the entire world to read? And I also wonder what Cindy must have done/said to George to make him flip they way he has. You could see in his eyes how much he loathed his daughter for what he knows she did. What could one person say to another to make them flip their feelings and knowledge so quickly? I can honestly say that Cindy knows the truth and she was damaging her daughter’s defense. Baez must have spoke with her and said, “Cindy, if you do not believe your daughter and stand behind her 100%, how can you think I can get her a fair trial?” It doesn’t matter Cindy, I understand why you love your daughter. But to stand behind her, knowing full well what had to have happened; has made me not feel any more remorse for you. You have thrown your granddaughter under the bus. She is the only importance of this case, and she has fallen to the way-side.
Caylee Marie Anthony, you have touched so many hearts. You are everyone’s daughter, granddaughter, sister and friend. I am so sorry you had to succumb to such evil. You will always be in my heart. Little angel, you never had a chance.

UPDATE 11/17/09: marmite_ Lorraine Tipton RELEASED from Jail ~ Bad news is her daughter is now with man who CPS CONFIRM molests & abuses her ~ Fight continues. Plz RT

For all of you who claim that a story such as Aaliyah’s is only about vindictive, delusional and angry ex-wives/girlfriends, please read this. It is a story about Lorraine Tipton and her 11 year old daughter. Lorraine has been jailed because her daughter refuses to go to visitations with her father. She will remain there until her daughter agrees to go. Not only is her father abusing her, but now the judge is making her choose between her mother and being abused. Please read, get angry and sign her petition. Be another voice for another child. Does any of this sound familiar?

“In 2003 my abuser forged my signature and had it notarized on a court stipulation giving him “50/50″ custody and all back child support dropped, this is a paternity case. The notary was his real estate/insurance agent. The only reason I found out about the forgery is that he tried to remove our daughter, Michaela from daycare and they contacted me immediately.
I filed a police report regarding the forgery, the DA, Jay Conley, he said that “even though we know who the likely suspect is there was no proof that my abuser, Craig Hensberger, did this”. Even though no one else would benefit from such an arrangement but the “likely suspect”. I got a handwriting analysis done on my own and presented that evidence to the DA, he stated that only “proved it was not my signature”, he refused to do anything.
I went to court in front of Family Court Commissioner, Frank Calvert, of Oconto County, who just happened to be the GAL on my divorce/custody proceedings in 1997 who recommended custody to my ex abusive husband, John Fetterly. It was also Mr. Calvert who made sure that in his recommendations that in order for me to have primary placement with my older three daughters I was to have a “stable living environment away from Craig Hensberger”. In 2003 Mr. Calvert moved up in ranks from lowly GAL to Family Court Commissioner and even with me expressing to him my concerns of his ability to be impartial I was ignored, chastised and intimidated by him. He refused to hear or see any evidence regarding the forgery and kept it as is, “50/50″ custody and ordered child support in the amount of $25 per week based on 50/50 custody even though the father had placement every other weekend.
The weekend of Fathers Day in June 2005 my daughter was in the custody and care of her father. On Saturday of that weekend he was arrested for his second DUI in less than a year with our daughter as a passenger in the middle of the day. At this time I had decided to move out of the state and per the county rules sent a certified letter to my former abuser to notify him of our move. He refused the certified letter and it was returned to me, although he was alerted that I was planning on moving and then filed an objection to my move. We again went in front of Frank Calvert who appointed GAL, Aaron Krzewinski. They ordered that my child stay in her current school but that Craig’s mother was to do all the transportation and supervision of placement. This was when my former abuser anger began to escalate and he vandalized three vehicles of mine which rendered them useless as well as loosening all the lug nuts on my tires which could of killed me as the tire fell off while traveling to work one morning.
Finally in October 2005, I moved in with my mother who lived well within the 150 mile radius I was allowed to move without notifying him. In December he served 20 days in jail for his DUI w/our daughter (the minimum is 30 days) and he also was allowed out on “Huber” so that he only had to report to jail at night when he was done working or not working. After he did his time he filed a motion to enforce placement when he was in jail for most of December. Again FCC Frank Calvert chastised me in court for not have legal representation and stated that if he could make me move back he would. He then gave my former abuser every weekend custody and ordered that I drive roundtrip every weekend because my abusers license was suspended. He stated that it wasn’t “his fault I moved, it was mine”. He also refused to review child support and the $25 weekly was upheld.
In August 2006 I moved back to Oconto County with my then fiancé’ soon to be husband, Chad Tipton. It was the Labor Day weekend and we were set to drive her for visitation with her father. My daughter stated that she was scared to go because her father was putting his finger in her “butt crack” down her pants, she made a motion of up and down. She made this revelation and stated how uncomfortable it was to her. I immediately contacted Marathon County CPS who interviewed my daughter. They did make a TPR and advised that Oconto would then handle it when we moved there after that weekend.
During the first weeks of September 2006 my daughter was met at her school by Oconto County CPS worker Carrie Silbernagel. After not hearing from Ms. Silbernagel I contacted her and she was very volatile towards me. Stating that she didn’t believe my daughter, that she believed she was “coached” and that she had children younger than my daughter who could provide specific details such as smells, times of days, etc. but my daughter did not. She stated that she knew of my “history with CPS” and reporting false allegations of sexual abuse. I asked her to explain as I had never made any other report to CPS regarding sexual abuse. She referred to another CPS worker that I had allegedly spoke to in 2004 regarding my older daughter. She made comments that she “knew ALL about me” etc. When I pointed out that my daughter is in danger as her fathers history of driving drunk. She then stated that “driving drunk with his child didn’t make him a bad father, he made a bad choice”. She refused to take any action and the matter was closed.
In May 2007 my former abuser decided to file for sole custody of our daughter as his behavior was to the point of madness since I was getting married on July 7, 2007. It was during this time that FCC Frank Calvert recused himself finally after I had filed a complaint against him with the Wisconsin Judicial Commission regarding his impartiality and biasness. By this time he was already facing charges of endangering safety with a dangerous weapon as he tried to run my then fiancé’ and 13 yo daughter in a grocery store parking lot one night as he waited outside for us. During that summer he was given every other week custody and they kept it that way until school started. Every bad behavior he gained more and more custody as the GAL was continually getting more money.
By January 2008, last minute he agreed to joint custody and dropped his sole custody claim. In February 2008 my daughter came home and said that her grandmother had forced fed her soup and then her vomit while threatening to beat “her ass” with a wooden spoon if she didn’t eat it. I contacted CPS and was told that the same CPS worker Carrie Silbernagel whose last name was now Burke as she married would contact me. After I told her of the force feeding incident she stated that she wanted to get down to the bottom of this “once and for all”. She suggested to take my daughter to a neutral third party who would interview her, I agreed. Although she only needed one parents permission she made the appointment at the Child Advocacy Center when it was the fathers placement time to avoid any of my ‘coaching’ etc.
On February 25 my daughter was picked up by Carrie Silbernagel Burke and had my child interviewed by Sara Schumacher who was a forensic interviewer for child abuse victims. The interview was recorded and transcribed. During the interview not only did my daughter tell of the soup incident but once again how her father sexually abused her. She told both Sara Schumacher and Carrie Silbernagel Burke that he father had instructed her to lie that day to them. By that afternoon I received a call from Carrie telling me that they were substantiating the abuse and placing my daughter with me. I thought that the nightmare was finally over. The CPS worker advised my husband and I that it would be a good idea if we left town for the night, get a hotel room as when she contact Craig he was extremely upset. She also advised that we should immediately file a child abuse restraining order for the TPR would not help protect my daughter very long. She explained that they would be filing a CHIPS (child in need of protection) petition and she would be in contact with us.
The next day I filed child abuse restraining orders against Craig and Betty Hensberger and it was granted by Oconto County Richard Delforge for 30 day pending the CHIPS petition. By March CPS was already back pedaling and we were advised by Carrie Burke that Corporation Counsel, Robert Mraz, stated that I was already “protecting my daughter in Family Court” when in fact there was no such order but only the one in which she was to go every other week. Then CPS offered for both parties to sign a stipulation agreement for “co-parenting” classes for both parents. They never even ordered any alcohol or drug assessment for Craig whose history of alcohol abuse was severe. My attorney at the time, Michael Perry, advised me not to agree to the stipulation and also my former abuser refused to sign.
Also in March he was acquitted of his charge of endangering safety with a dangerous weapon. Somehow my former abuser contacted my ex husband and had my older daughters recant their statements. When this was brought forward to the DA, Jay Conley of possible witness tampering, he stated it wasn’t because Craig only talked with my ex husband.
On May 21, 2008, my daughters 10th birthday, an Administrative Appeal was held by recused FCC Frank M. Calvert. My lawyer and I were not privy to this hearing in which my former abuser, his attorney, Corporation Counsel, Deputy Director of Oconto County CPS Greg Benesh and Carrie Burke were a part of. The only reason my attorney learned of this hearing was due to my abusers attorney, John D’Angelo, sending a copy of the hearing in which Mr. Calvert unsubstantiated the sexual abuse allegations. My attorney advised me to get the recording from the hearing and I did. What I heard was chilling as my character and credibility was more of an issue than the actual abuse. Especially in which Mr. Calvert snickers and makes fun of me that he’s “well aware of the difficulties with Ms. Fetterly-Tipton”. My lawyer instructs me to file a complaint with the judicial commission as Mr. Calvert had recused himself and he had no right to hear that case. When I requested the CD recording of the hearing Mr. Calvert’s assistant Julie Depouw stated that perhaps Calvert “forgot” he recused himself. A complaint was filed with the judicial commission regarding the ongoing bias and unethical practices of Frank M. Calvert.
In July 2008 my former abuser wanted his placement times back. We went to court and after my two witnesses testified, Sara Schumacher and Greg Benesh, Judge David Miron ordered a recess. My lawyer, my former abuser’s lawyer, GAL Krzewinski met in chambers. My lawyer returned to say that the judge was not going to hear any more testimony because so far we had not proven that there was any substantial change in circumstances for change in placement. He also stated that due to her father subpoenaing my daughters counselor, Jennifer Werner, her supervisor wrote to the judge to tell of his disdain that she was being ‘used’ as a pawn in this proceeding and she had no knowledge of the ongoing custody dispute (her counseling records do not reflect that). My lawyer stated I had to agree to two supervised visits, one overnight unsupervised, one weekend unsupervised then back to week on week off, providing that GAL Krzewinski and newly appointed counselor, Mike Mervilde, found no reason for that schedule, and they didn’t.
When I had tried to make further appointments with Mike Mervilde I was thwarted by saying that he was only court ordered to see her twice. When I requested copies of her counseling records I was told that my daughter wasn’t the patient, her father was.
By the very first unsupervised visit my daughter came back stating her father was drinking and driving with her. Every other week she was coming home from his home with lice. CPS said that wasn’t neglect. My daughter refused to go for visitation and in October her father filed his first of three contempt motions on me. I was found in contempt by Judge Miron and it was ordered that my daughter be forced to live with her abuser for five weeks straight, I was not allowed visitation. This was when I was first accused of PAS, a.k.a. ’brainwashing’ her. The judge stated that he believed that I had “poisoned” my daughter against her father. When I shook my head slightly the judge yelled at me to not shake my head at him.
She left on 10/31/09 and returned on 12/05/09. During that time she was tormented and tortured by her father and grandmother. My daughter still says that was the worst time of her life.
In February my daughter came home and said her father caught a 8lb Walleye and kept it alive in his 100 gallon fish tank for two weeks. He then proceeded to use her and sign her up for three different fishing derbies in one weekend with the same fish. He told my daughter if she told no one she would receive an ipod. The total of $150 of prize money that was won in my daughters name she never saw one penny or an ipod.
Her father was caught in his lying, cheating and stealing but blamed her for “ratting him out”. This was the turning point that my daughter lost any last respect for her father, she would ask me, “why would he do this to me?”, I had no answer, I still don’t.
She missed a weekend visit in March, by Monday he went to her school with the police to pick her up. She refused and the Gillett police officer, Gary Pemmrich, threatened my daughter that he would take her down to juvenile hall, she would be placed in foster care, she would never see me again and that she would have to go to a new school.
It was after this hat my former abuser brought me to court again for contempt, the judge did not find me in contempt and dismissed it. This was when Judge Miron made a threat that perhaps neither parent was fit and maybe he would put her in foster care.
He then changed the order that each parent could pick up the child directly from school rather than the police station as the drop off.
Shortly after she returned from her week placement stating how cold she was at her fathers, stating his electricity was “broken”. The next week it was the same, finally CPS was alerted that there was no electricity, running water/plumbing, refrigeration for food etc. They then began staying at his mothers small two bedroom home, my daughter was given a choice of either sleeping on the living room floor or the unfinished basement. By August my daughter had been frightened several times by her grandmother driving her drunk, specifically one occasion where they took her out with them to the bar and as the grandmother stumbled out of the bar she proceeded to get into the wrong vehicle and then drove them home, drunk.
My daughter asked to stay at my home on his weekend 8/7/09 due to her older sisters coming for a visit. She kept saying how relaxed she was, how well she slept in an actual bed in her own room. She called him and told him she would not return to his mothers house because she had no bed or bedroom there. By 8/12/09 he filed a motion of contempt on me but waited until last minute 9/18/09 to have me served. Due to the untimely notice it was dismissed, He soon filed another contempt. At no time after school started did he ever go to school to retrieve his daughter. In court on 10/14/09 he and his mother perjured themselves that she has her own room, I’m brainwashing her, they don’t drink. When asked why he didn’t go pick her up he would say he was “working” or he was “busy” but I was being held accountable. On 9/4/09 we drove up to the grandmothers house for my daughter to retrieve her clarinet. We requested the assistance of Oconto County Sheriffs Deputy Ryan Zahn, who happens to be the nephew of Craig Hensberger, grandson of Betty Hensberger. At no time did the grandmother attempt to keep my daughter at her residence, her father according to his testimony was working.
Judge Miron found me in contempt and ordered me 30 days in county jail, with it stayed and ordered that my daughter be picked up by her father on 10/16/09 after school. I was also found in contempt and ordered 30 days in county jail for claiming my daughter on my taxes even though he has an order to do so the IRS will not allow him to since he unlawfully claimed her from 1999-2007. Also because she lived with me exclusively from Feb 2008-August 2008 which the federal government agreed I could claim her. Judge Miron also made his threats again that maybe he would “contact CPS because neither one of us is a fit parent and maybe he should take he away from both of us”. He stated that maybe foster care was the best place for her.
Since the contempt motion being served on 9/18/09 my child has began sleep walking, having night terrors, and was placed on Xanax for her sleep disturbances and anxiety issues brought on by her father. She has stated she is not going with her father ever again, she can’t and won’t. She won’t be in school tomorrow due to her flu and is adamant that nobody can make her go, not even me.”
