Defending Targets of Discrimination

Thank you Dear God- She won!!

I happened along this win, this morning- despite my looking for it numerous times in the last few years.

Unfortunately her babies were murdered and she's had to live with that, I know that God has given her the strength she needed and will continue to do so...

She won while I was incapacitated after my motorcycle accident- that may be why it took so long for me to find this, nonetheless SHE WON- I found it.. God Bless her and if you're reading this Jessica, CONGRATS 100000000000000x's over- maybe 'the states' learned a lesson here!

Are You in an Abusive Relationship

A test- Are you in an abusive relationship?

Very many partners are suffering quietly in an outrageous relationship because they do not even realize that they are being abused.

They have become so compliant through abuse beginning in childhood that cannot detect abnormal treatment.

For this reason, Dr. Heyward Ewart has listed 34 questions for partners to ask themselves to determine if their relationship is abusive.

Ewart, author of a new book on the subject of child abuse and its life-long impact, offers this questionnaire as an excerpt from his work.

1. Are you afraid of your partner?

2. Do you feel as though you have to "walk on eggshells" to keep your partner from getting grouchy?

3. Has your partner ever hit, slapped, or pushed you?

4. Do your feel you deserve to be punished?

5. Do you ever have the feeling you've done something wrong but you don't know what it is?

6. Have you lost respect or love for your partner?

7. Are you ever afraid your partner will hurt the children?

8. Have you ever daydreamed of killing or disabling your partner?

9. Is your partner good to you some or most of the time but suddenly gets scary?

10. Are the children afraid of your partner?

11. Does your partner ever tell you you're crazy?

12. Has your partner ever threatened to hurt you?

13. Do you ever fear you may be seriously hurt by your partner?

14. Has your partner ever threatened to commit suicide?

15. Has anybody warned you to get out of the relationship?

16. Were you abused or neglected as a child?

17. Has your partner forced you to do things you don't want to do?

18. If you say "no" to your partner, is there danger?

19. Have you lost any friends due to your partner?

20. Does your partner have to approve where you go and when?

21. Have you lost a job because of your partner?

22. Does your partner stop you from doing things you want to do?

23. Does your partner doubt your word; that is, not believe you?

24. Do you feel emotionally numb?

25. Are you afraid to tell anyone what's really going on?

26. Have you ever wanted to call the police or someone else for protection?

27. Do you ever feel hopeless about your situation?

28. Have you ever thought about running away?

29. Does your partner change when using alcohol or drugs?

30. Are you forced into sex when you're not willing?

31. Do you feel like your partner's personal possession?

32. Have you ever been in a violent or controlling relationship before?

33. Was there bad fighting in the family you grew up in?

34. Are you a grown child of an alcoholic or drug abuser?

I changed the word "women" to "partners" as I am fully aware that abuse is not only a woman's problem!

Why I am Still Disgused With The System

I'll bet your wondering why I'm so disgusted, the family court system bites!

Let me give you an idea of what has gone on in my case for the last SIX YEARS! (Update- the last TWELVE YEARS!

I have been labeled a drug addict by ACS, I was on the CSR without my knowledge that they indicated a case against me in 2001!!

No Court, No "N' petition, no chance at defending myself!

I was in the hospital and ACS ASKED me if it was ok if my estranged husband could keep the children (who were in his care during this hospital stay) and of course I agreed.

Well low and behold ACS REMOVED my children, but it would be FEBRUARY 2006 before I found this information out!

During 2001 and 2006 - I begged the court to allow me visitation after my estranged husband refused me any time with my children.

I was told in court that I would not be allowed ANY VISITATION because I was a drug addict!!

I was denied the opportunity to defend this with a drug test!!

After I submitted a voluntary NEGATIVE HAIR drug test to the court the following Court date THEY STILL REFUSED ME ANY VISITATION!!!!!!!!

In February of 2006, I accidentally found out I was on the CSR labeled a drug addict that attempted suicide!!!!

I immediately wrote to the powers that be within the agency and politely DEMANDED (after they tried to blow me off the first time) an administrative review..

The case against me was overturned on July 12 2006!!

My children have become alienated from me, they have been kept from me for YEARS!

NO VISITATION AT ALL! NOTHING, NADDA, ZERO, ZILCH, ZIP!

I know they now suffer from Parent Alienation Syndrome, and I cannot get the Court to do anything about this!

Of course I've begun a lawsuit against ACS and the City, for Malicious Prosecution, and Negligent Misrepresentation, but what good is it?

They destroyed my life and if I'm lucky and get my children back, it will take the rest of my life to convince them that they were lied to and alienated because their father is probably a sociopath (My opinion he refuses testing) and didn't care about them or their needs.

During my research, I stumbled across some information that I found quite interesting, I'll share it with you and let you decide if my estranged husband has connections or if this was a coincidence!

Husband referee's for CYO -He lives with Aggie Panepinto
Jospeh Panepinto - is the Director of CYO -who happens to be married to Barbara Panepinto -Who happens to be a Supreme Court Judge!

I've contacted the Chief Judge Kaye, and numerous other powers that be within the system, I've contacted the Special Inspector General, I've gone to the District Attorney, contacted the children's schools..

And thus far no one sees a problem with any of this. Go figure!

Like I've said a zillion times I'm so disgusted with the system!

Legal Abuse Syndrome

Most of my readers are familiar with my posts from my old blog "DisgustedWithTheSystem!"

Well due to someone I love dearly asking me to take down that blog, I agreed. We were able to come up with a solution, where I could still have a blog to help others, while at the same time I agreed not to have my children's names attached to it.Although I suggest anyone wanting to get back with their alienated children DO USE THEIR NAMES [as I did for 12 years] on a blog that will PROVE FACTS of what happened to seperate parent from child. There may come a point where the children have grown and you will have made your point clear..and perhaps reunited with the children..  then it may be time to move forward. That is where I am now...


I will redact all the 'personal info' off my old blog and repost it here... ASAP!

But until then, I don't want to keep information that's detrimental to parents fighting the system to myself. So here goes, my first post on my new blog!

Legal Abuse Syndrome (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeGdK2cvNY8) as told by Karin Huffer.

"Karin Huffer has discovered why many people leave a courtroom frustrated and sick. On Wednesday April 2, 2008 we presented a new program called FAMILY COURT - Part 2 - Dennis Grover and Michael Nance are joined on the phone by Stephen Baskerville author of TAKEN INTO CUSTODY and Karin Huffer author of LEGAL ABUSE SYNDROME. Stephen shares his research into the atrocities of Family Court, where it came from and questionable tactics and implementations of its own rules that affect mostly children. Karin Huffer explores the foundation of Legal Abuse Syndrome and has proven that a constant negative result from any courtroom experience produces Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome in litigants. Before you go to any court, understand that Justice is not a part of the equation and prepare yourself for the possibilities of being in a situation that is based in judge and attorney created rules rather than common sense. The full program is available at http://www.libertyandjusticeforall.tv/family_court2.htm $10.75 ppd. copying and sharing is encouraged."

I can say first hand that Legal Abuse Syndrome is as real as cancer- I am suffering from it as are 99.9% of the people who walk into, or out of, our Family Courts today are..

As promised my old blog will take on a new address (this one) and ASAP I will repost here the real importnat stuff I had there so that I can continue to help those that need the help!

The PTSD, I suffer from is directly due to the 10 years of hell.. I've gone through being abused by my ex husband and his political connections to the Panepinto's (Acting Supreme Court Judge barbara panepinto, & her husband former Catholic Charities Director and one time CYO director joseph panepinto, where my husband and her husband worked together for nearly 20 years in Richmond County.

Welcome to my new page

To all the readers I had over on my other blog 'DisgustedWithTheSystem' this is going to be my new home. In time (ASAP), I will have copied all of the links and important posts from my old blog onto this one... be patient with me I'm taking 10 years of posts and moving them here...

Don't ask why, or why not.. it is what it is...

Stay tuned!
