Everyone knows that the concept of “parental alienation” will not be in the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), but this hasn’t thwarted those who make a handsome income off of it.  Dr. Richard Warshak, who sells his testimony and services treating “parental alienation” in child custody cases, has apparently bought or scammed his way onto The Huffington Post and is not allowing comments on how others, including professional organizations, look at this excuse for protecting abusive parents.  I, along with several other domestic violence advocates, posted comments on The Huffington Post in response to a new post by Warshak that touts his professional bread-and-butter, and they were apparently dropped in their bit bucket.  Here is my first comment:

Many professional organizations recognize that claims of so-called “parental alienation” are used by abusive spouses to gain custody of children from their victims.  Some of these organizations include the American Judges Association, the National District Attorney’s Association, the American Bar Association, and the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges, with the latter warning family court judges not to accept claims of “parental alienation” or “parental alienation syndrome” because of it’s well know use by abusers.  Research has shown that the number one reason children refuse to visit a parent is because of the behavior of that parent.  Stop putting children in danger by placing them with the abuser.  Dr. Warshak and others that push this so-called disorder make a lot of money selling their testimony in this family court scam.  I would think The Huffington Post was above promoting such snake oil salesmen.

As of the morning after Warshak’s post appeared on The Huffington Post, there were twelve hand-picked comments on the post, which includes one by Warshak cheerleader “Monika” who is Monika Logan, a big “parental alienation” supporter in Texas.  She is a regular commenter on stories that push this scam.  Her blog supports these people who make lots of money off of promoting this “judicial tool of abuse.”

Warshak was involved in a case recently in Canada, in which he testified that two boys apparently “poisoned” by “parental alienation” would benefit being treated at his “treatment center,” a center that charges $40,000 per four day session.  The recommendation was so ordered, but overturned in appeal because Warshak admitted that he had only interviewed the parent claiming “parental alienation” and not the other parent.  Warshak failed to even interview the boys when he recommended them for his unproven program.  Seems $40,000 is quite an incentive to recommend something to someone he hasn’t even seen.

Shame on The Huffington Post to allow these quacks and their supporters space to sell their wares, because that is exactly what they are doing.  Then again, The Huffington Post has a history of censorship.  So be careful what you read even if you think it is a respectable site.  Apparently everyone has their price, and there’s a lot to be made in the “parental alienation” jackpot.

It was suggested to post comments on censorship on The Huffington Post, then share on your Facebook or Twitter account…this is an excellent idea!

Rikki Dombrowski, as shown on Guardian ad Litem M. Jill Dyke’s Facebook page.

 

Rikki is often on my mind.  Granted, not as much as on her mother, Claudine Dombrowski’s, mind.  I was also a child victim of family courts, just as Rikki is.  Just as my children are now, although I don’t write about them at all (too traumatic).

Rikki was taken to talk to the judge (alone, no witnesses), Judge David Debenham, a couple of weeks ago, while her mother Claudine was in the midst of another judicial smackdown.  Although she had been given the right to see her daughter after years of no or limited (supervised) contact in the January 2010 hearing that I attended as a court watcher, daddy Hal Richardson did everything in his power to not allow the visits to take place.  He had 83 violations of the court order up to a point this fall…read about the case here.

Witnesses have told me that when daddy Hal Richardson brought Rikki to be interviewed by the judge, he was acting very sternly towards her, and she was crying just before going in. Knowing that the last time Rikki was “allowed” to call her mother this past spring to cancel her two hour Sunday visitation, daddy Hall Richardson was yelling at Rikki in the background and Rikki was uncontrollably crying while she was telling Claudine she couldn’t see her that day.  That was the last phone call to take place.

My point is Rikki is one of many children in a situation like this, threatened to follow the abuser’s script or face the consequences.  In Rikki’s case, there is a child’s coffin in Hal Richardson’s living room ready for use.  If the corrupt court officials in this case actually did their jobs, Richardson would be in prison and Rikki would be with her mother.  There is a movement now to disbar Rene Netherton.  M. Jill Dykes lunged at Claudine in the courthouse hallway, and had her husband call to threaten her…actions will be filed on this also.   Snorting Topeka attorney Jason P. Hoffman continues to lie in court about anything to help his abusive client Hal Richardson, including claiming Claudine Dombrowski is me when he knows she is not.   No, Rikki Dombrowski is a cash cow to them.

Children like this are often a big source of income to people like this.  Snorting Jason L. Hoffman used the term “parental alienation” so much during the January 2010 hearing, I lost count.  This term, and syndromes/disorders associated with it, were invented by people (like Dr. William Bernet) who make lots of money from it, using it to sell books and sell their “testimony.”  It is well known by judge’s associations as a tool for abusers to get custody of children.  It certainly worked in this case…imbecile Judge Debenham fell for it (or maybe was paid off).

When I think of Rikki getting threatened in the courthouse hallway and her crying, I get really mad.  This is what our children are going through.  When will it stop?  The White House addressed family court cases during it’s press conference somewhat due to this case (after all they have beenreading about it here), but when is something actually going to be done?

Special to South Florida Times

Jennie Carter thought she was sending her two young children to the store with their father for an hour or so.  They’d been preparing for a  trip to Georgia to see snow for the first time but their father, her ex-husband, begged to see the kids before they left. Carter was hesitant but allowed him to take them.

Instead of going to the store, their father took Nelson, 10, and Crystal, 8, to his house and set it on fire, killing them and himself.

He did it, Carter, 41, of Lake Worth, said, to get back at her for leaving their abusive relationship.

“I handed my kids to a killer,” Carter said, choking up as she recalled the 2006 tragedy before an audience at New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church in West Palm Beach on Oct. 16, as part of the observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October.

The issue was already at the forefront in Palm Beach County, after the worst murder-suicide in the history of the county in September when Patrick Alexander Dell, 41, shot and killed his estranged wife Natasha Whyte-Dell and four of her children in their Riviera Beach home. The couple had a long history of domestic violence.

Carter said she wanted to put an end to such tragedies and four years after she lost her children, she continues to speak out against domestic violence. Then state Sen. Ted Deutch, D-Boca Raton, was so moved by her advocacy that he sponsored a domestic violence bill in honor of Carter.

The law requires judges to consider charges of domestic or sexual abuse, involving either parent, when granting custody or arranging visitation. Carter believes if her ex-husband had supervised visits with their children, they might still be alive.

“I am so proud to have passed this legislation… While there is no doubt that children benefit from spending time with both parents, it is always necessary to determine how best to protect the child,” Deutch said upon passage of the bill.

Carter said she became an advocate to honor her children. “It doesn’t take a lot of people to change a law. It takes one person,” she told the audience.

While passing laws is important, changing the mindset regarding domestic violence in the black community is an altogether different challenge, especially when it comes to the black church, said the Rev. Johnnie Ray “J.R.” Thicklin, senior pastor of Kingdom Harvest Ministries of West Palm Beach and president of Destiny By Choice.

Thicklin has held several positions in the past 20 years related to domestic violence and is regarded as a trailblazer in breaking the silence in the church. He organized the session, titled, “Domestic Violence and Faith in the African American Community – Barriers and Bridges Community Forum,”  bringing together Carter and other domestic violence victims, experts and citizens to raise awareness of the prevalence of domestic violence in the black community and the role that faith  plays in the lives of  victims and perpetrators.

Thicklin is writing a book, Hush:  What the Church Didn’t Tell You about Domestic Violence, due out next year.  His company helps the faith community deal with what is regarded as a sensitive subject. He said the church, which is usually a safe haven in the black community, hasn’t dealt with the issue well in the past.

Ivanah Thomas of Orlando agreed.  Today, she is a successful business owner, but when she was 19 she was married to an abusive man 21 years her senior and a minister. The church, including the pastor, “turned a blind eye” and no one would help her, she said, and her husband was allowed to continue as a minister.

Thicklin said it was not uncommon to find preachers, among other powerful men, dealing with domestic violence in their own lives. “Research will show you that there’s a lot of domestic violence in positions such as pastors, law enforcement, lawyers and athletes,” he said. “People who are in empowering positions often have a problem with power themselves.”

The Rev. Antoinne “A.J.” Wright, senior pastor of Shiloh Family Worship Center Ministries in Riviera Beach, said even helping victims in the church can be a sensitive subject. He encourages his parishioners to get away from their abuser. But he told of an instance where he suggested a woman leave her abuser. She reconciled with him and was upset with Wright, saying he was wrong to tell her to leave her relationship.

Debi Stewart, of West Palm Beach, understands why some women stay. The longtime television host in Palm Beach County said at the forum that, years ago, she stayed in an abusive marriage because she was “determined to fix it.”  She had been ashamed to admit that, as a well known reporter, she was suffering abuse at home. She recalled putting on heavy stage make-up to cover up a black eye before conducting an on-camera interview.

But she stayed two years after the first incidence of violence, because her family frowned upon divorce. She eventually left when her young daughter unwittingly shared a startling revelation: The 3-year old equated the violence of another pre-schooler toward her with the little boy “liking” her.

Witnessing abuse in the home had resulted in her daughter’s confusion regarding love – even at such a young age, she said. Stewart said at that point she left her husband, refusing to allow her daughter to grow up with such psychological scars.

“I could’ve been killed trying to stay and make it work,” she said.

Statistics support that possibility. According to destinybychoice.org, every six hours a woman is killed by domestic violence, a domestic violence act occurs every 12 seconds, resulting in more than four million victims per year.

Also, African-American women are disproportionately affected by domestic violence, but the issue is hushed in the black community. The reason, Stewart said, is that African Americans have been taught, “You don’t air your dirty laundry.”

Saratoga Family Court judge removed from the bench

By LEIGH HORNBECK Staff Writer

ALBANY — The state Commission on Judicial Conduct removed former Family Court JudgeGilbert Abramson from office, six weeks after the judge abruptly stepped down.

By issuing the ruling, the commission said despite Abramson’s failure to win reelection and his resignation in September, it was not enough. The commission’s ruling means Abramson may never serve as a judge again.

A two-year investigation found Abramson repeatedly sent people to jail from his court while denying them fundamental rights, such as the right to representation and the right to a hearing.

The investigation found that in four separate cases, litigants served from 21 to 268 days in jail after the judge flouted the law.

Robert Tembeckjian, legal counsel for the commission, said it is rare but not unheard of for a judge to be formally removed event after he or she has stepped down.

"The board members thought it was in the public benefit to let it be known what happened in the courtroom. He resigned near the very end of a long process," Tembeckjian said.

The commission also found Abramson on two separate occasions made "egregious and inexcusable" comments of a sexual nature to a woman in his courtroom because of a design on the T-shirt she was wearing.

It might– take a little truth and honesty– oh wait– you do not know what that means– a bottom dweller–lowest of attorney low lifes–(and thats bad)  You give all the attorney jokes– truth and hope lol.

So, how do you know ‘who’ it is? Did they teach you to ‘ASS-ume’ (skipped evidence 101 did they?) in matchbook law school too?  

Ohhh, wait thats a really a pretty neat blog- 

So you are an old, horny, lonely, insane, sons of anarchy freek, who preys on children– ? (if) that is you? If it is– then the truth stands– it always has.

Seems as if a little karma might be going on— maybe you should try being a human instead of profiteering bitch who makes her money stealing battered mothers children from them and giving them to abusers to be further abused. 

May the Goddess of Justice ‘Athena’ Continue to bless you and yours!

Placer County CA Court Whore SHOWDOWN!

This is the smack-down that has been long in the making! Connie Bedwell and several others from Placer County will call out the Whores of the Court!

www.AmericanMothersPoliticalParty.org

AMPP is a social movement seeking justice and accountability within the family court system which includes DHHS/CPS, psychologists and other so called experts.

• We as mothers demand CITIZENSHIP and our Rights to our Children.
• We demand that our children not be used as pawns by our abuser in a custody dispute.
• We demand that Mothers and Children be equally protected against court ordered visitation with an abuser.
• We demand that Mothers and Children be given the same rights, privileges and voice that the abuser gets in family courts!
• We demand that our President take action now as can no longer afford to be silent and we won’t.
•  We demand the same "rights and freedoms" to which all humans are entitled.

Behind the closed doors of the dirty little secret of the family court system, thousands of women each year lose child custody to violent men who beat and abuse Mothers and Children.

Family courts are not family-friendly and betray the best interests of the child. Until Mothers and Children’s voices are heard we will never shut up, give up or go away!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Susan Murphy Milano, the "Jane Wayne of Justice," turns the tide in Garvin County, Oklahoma

November 2, 2010, Garvin County, Oklahoma…….Steve Brooks’ long term strangle hold on local politics was not enough to overcome the stain of blatant corruption and injustices to the families of The Garvin County Three, Sheila Deviney, Chanda Turner, and Tom Horton. 

The big city girl’s illuminating tactics brought forth undisputed facts, revealing what really happened in Garvin County during the reign of the former Sheriff.

Joe Turner, father of Chanda Turner,  called moments ago, “God is Great! We have a new Sheriff! Thank you, Susan!”

In October, the families invited Susan Murphy Milano to Oklahoma to bring attention to the cases and the overwhelming evidence in each one.  Murphy Milano spent time interviewing the families, looking at evidence and visiting crime scenes, all under threat of bodily harm.  What she uncovered was astounding as more families and more citizens came forward with new information.

Tune in Wednesday, November 3, at 4pm Eastern, for an update with the mothers of Sheila Deviney and Chanda Turner on The Susan Murphy Milano Show, "Time’s Up!" on Here Women Talk (http://herewomentalk.com) broadcast on the Zeus Radio Network and later Susan will be with Dr. Laurie Roth on The Roth Show from 6-8pm Eastern, (http://therothshow.com) to discuss this victory further!

Tune in to both shows for all the latest news!
