When family courts cannot win on the legal merits, they resort to tactics involving threats, intimidation, and betrayal of the truth.
18 USC 1512 is the federal statute that protects witnesses against illegal threats and intimidation by any and all court actors, police, and government agencies.
The prosecution of threats against witnesses to crimes against children caught in the crosshairs of family court litigation, when witnesses involve, for example, family members—mothers witnessing child abuse, siblings as witnesses to parental mistreatment of a father or mother, or siblings who are witnesses to the abuse of their siblings—are all subjects of protected speech.
However, what happens when the judge and the judge’s factotum threaten a protective parent whose child is in the grip of an abuser where evidence is present that the child is being incessantly physically tortured and sexually abused by family members and others who possess great wealth and power to influence? A protective parent who has won every legal argument presented by the court representing the abuser but is terrified, overwhelmed with fear for the waning strength of the child whose resilience is being drained before the parent’s eyes, knowing that the child is being beaten and abused in too many ways to contemplate.
The parent knows that the legal process is unconscionably slow, unrewarding, and rife with threats to the parent along the road, even though the legal process has afforded protections to the parent in terms of access to records and visitation of the child. But the puppeteer court still controls the mechanisms, the strings, the oxygen and blood supply. What does a desperate parent do when their child’s life is hanging on the brink of fatality, or so they think?
The FCVFC sees and experiences all too many cases in which the parent begins the litigation battle with the court with the conscious intention of fighting to protect and/or rescue the child from the grip of irreparable ongoing harm and possible death.
Initial stages where legal interventions have been successful in winning strategic procedural process battles, but the child remains in acute, unbearable danger, emotionally agonizing for both parent and child. Court actors know; they experience the scent of terror and move in strategically to turn the protective parent against the team forcing the constitutional litigation that will ultimately lead to the freeing of the child, prosecution of all bad actors, and launching of massive damages charges against every court actor from the judge on down.
The ploy engaged in by the court: the deal, the incentive to join the court so that the charges already dropped against the protective parent can move ahead to “reunification” with the protective parent, shared custody with the abuser, if only the protective parent will recant their charges against the court, the original lawyers, appointed associates who labeled the protective parent as the abuser or mentally deranged. All of the terrible charges successfully launched by the court—false accusations of the protective parent as the abuser, placements on lists keeping the protective parent from working/from any and all employment—if only the parent will recant their former testimony and state that their testimony was influenced and false. All they must do to have all charges against them dropped is to blame their “enablers” who provided “bad” advice and direction and caused the irreparable harm.
The Spanish Inquisition of Torquemada could not possibly be more effective or compelling in delivering the desperate parent to kneel at the hem of their betrayers: the judge, the attorney for the parent abuser, the public defender appointed to negotiate the deal from which the client was previously exonerated because of the false allegation put forth by the legal team of the parent child abuser/trafficker and potential murderer of the child.
The parent is forced by family court actors to seek out every source of one-time support for them in order to have the parent recant the engagement of defense/litigation/prosecution/damages claims in the process of being actively litigated and prosecuted while the parent is in the course of seeking child contact by supervision arranged as per the successful legal work that has successfully laid the path to child-parent contact.
The parent is forced via a combination of threats and reward to turn against their one-time defenders. Those experts who worked to advise as to protection of assets, provision of shelter, legal, forensic, and psychiatric care are suddenly treated as enemies.
The client is provided with full disclosure of the problems and risks associated with litigation and prosecution of cases involving accusations of abuse, fraud, and malpractice.
Those to whom the parent once expressed gratitude and participated with full knowledge of all risks and problems associated with the work process engaged to seek freedom and protection of the child and the parent are suddenly viewed and dealt with as perpetrators of harm, threats to the parent, and deceivers as the client switches allegiance to court personnel who promise and deliver the poison pill of deceit and child sacrifice.
The pattern is always the same: promises made by court actors in return for betrayal of protectors and legitimate advocates and experts are promised reunification with the child—a reunification never accomplished in terms of any protection of the child. In fact, in place of protection, the desperate parent is forced to recant any and all claims and lives with the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads forever, or the parent is forced to co-parent with an abuser, knowing fully that the children are being abused and even trafficked.
One parent who appeared before the judge who removed a ten-year protective order against a parent who had been credibly threatened with death by her abuser husband was forced into an unholy alliance with a judge well known for compromising the rights and safety of protective parents. The parent in question did not want to lose custody of her months-old breastfeeding baby and so allowed her two younger children to continue in joint custody of the father who not only encouraged the overt sexual contact between very young siblings but was also known to be actively trafficking the children.
The judge in question removed the ten-year protective order against the father where the order was placed in a neighboring state. Upon removal of the protective order, the mother was murdered by being stabbed in the head by her husband approximately ten times. The daughter of the marriage was covertly a witness to the stabbing, and her testimony placed her father in prison for life. The child came forward to the police because she knew that her father would be fully capable of murdering her as well after what she saw he did to her mother.
The judge in question was never prosecuted for her crimes and continues to reign and terrorize the jurisdiction for which she carries on a fully criminal enterprise.
The FCVFC has written about this judge as a family annihilator, but because we have not been able to obtain the cooperation of any client to properly pursue prosecution of her, she continues her reign of terror as a racketeering criminal.
The mother of the murdered mother, grandmother of her daughter’s daughter, now raising her granddaughter, is too overwhelmed to take on prosecution of the judge.
The mother whose children, including the breastfeeding baby, are all, as per information and belief, as per case investigation, being sexually trafficked. The breastfeeding baby was showing signs of sexual abuse from oral and anal bruising. The mother will not take any action and continues in co-parenting without a peep of complaint.
The case that began the formation of the FCVFC involved the suicide death of a child, a client of the FCVFC director before the FCVFC existed. This mother made a deal with DCFS NJ that involved a series of betrayals that resulted in massive life-changing consequences to multiple parties.
The mother agreed to work with DCFS in co-parenting with her first husband who brutally abused her three children and was rabidly jealous of her second husband, the father of a fourth male child.
While JJS was working with the family, the judge responsible for continuing engagement of the children with the abuser was removed from the case. The next judge who reviewed the case issued protective orders against the father, stopped all visitation and contact between the parents and children, and allowed the mother to move from NJ to Kansas to join her extended family. The maternal family agreed to provide financial support and all necessary services for the mother and her three boys.
Two days before the family was to leave for Kansas, airline tickets in hand, the father received leave to retain parental alienation expert Paul Dasher PhD to evaluate the mother for false allegations.
As per the recusal of the judge who was allowing the family to move to Kansas, new attorneys retained by the father (an alleged participant in the murder of President of Egypt, Anwar Sadat), visitation was renewed, as was what was to become a series of psychiatric hospitalizations for the eldest son, age seven at the time of the order.
DCF was ordered into the case, and the mother agreed to the removal of JJS from the case as she also agreed to work with and participate in the “treatment program” initiated by DCF.
JJS experienced significant defamatory charges by the judge who was originally removed from the case as well as having her home burned to the ground as the subject of an arson fire never really investigated by police.
Court-initiated “cooperation” in co-parenting with the children’s abuser ultimately resulted in the suicide death of the oldest child, false accusations of abuse against the mother’s second husband, father of her fourth son, which landed him in jail on criminal charges of abuse of the three children for whom he was their stepfather.
