AND THE DRAMA CONTINUES…………….

Posted on by

So, new legal paperwork received today indicates that NOW, the very same DHR attorney who was IN Billy Jackson’s Kangaroo Court when my wife, Kathleen Raskin, (Kathey Raskin) who had LEGAL GUARDIANSHIP, was DENIED her right to even speak, and who witnessed Judge Jackson’s CLEAR DENIAL of her rights, and saw our niece being given back TO THE ONLY PEOPLE ON THIS EARTH WHO GAVE HER AWAY AND SIGNED OFF PARENTAL RIGHTS SO AS NOT TO HAVE TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT, is now claiming that the Court erred because our niece was 18 years old.

Now he KNOWS that in the event of a disability, the age becomes 19, and there are other legal issues involved, but NOW THAT HE CAN SEE that Billy Jackson, in cahoots with Denise H Burch of Burch Law Group, and others, overstepped any and all prudence, NOW he’s evidently claiming that since our niece was 18, that NOBODY should be legal guardian of our niece.

Evidently the fact that she has been on disability since she was tested many years ago and determined to have an IQ of 60 is NOW of no consequence.

I am assuming that by taking this court action, which will most probably be rubber-stamped in yet another Alabama Kangaroo Court, that our niece will be free to live on her own.

So, instead of placing her in Scope 310 to teach her life skills, which is what we wanted for her, they first put her in harm’s way, by relocating her to where she is now, and now evidently the DHR attorney is now trying to release our niece completely from any oversight at all by anyone.

It’s amazing that DHR has NEVER ONCE CONSIDERED what would have been in the BEST INTEREST OF OUR NIECE.

So, I am putting DHR and the State of Alabama on notice. We are CONTINUING TO MONITOR our niece’s welfare, and as you all continue to take action, and as the result of that action continues to cause our niece harm, EACH OF YOU WILL ANSWER FOR YOUR ACTIONS in BOTH CIVIL COURT AND CRIMINAL COURT as allowed.

And don’t be surprised if, in addition, you all get to star in the movie :-))

Until next time,

I’m Rob!

In Judge Jackson’s Courtroom

Family Evicted From Home

A Guest Commentary By

Concerned Lauderdale Citizen

“Judge Billy Jackson does not understand how to structure his docket efficiently.”

“Judge Billy Jackson does not know the law.”

You, readers, may decide for yourself if the above comments are true. I only repeat what I have recently heard from others. Ask your own questions, and find your own answers, for you are paying the man’s salary of over $100,000. Would you pay anyone else who is not doing his job adequately?

There are currently cases from Fall, 2011, which still await a ruling from Judge Jackson. There are emergency motions from this past Spring which have not been addressed, as well as current emergencies.

And I have heard a detailed story from a previously credible source which puts Judge Jackson in a very negative light. It seems he is using his authority to hurt families rather than help them.

Judge Jackson gave a mother and her children only hours to vacate their home under threat of eviction by sheriff. They had to leave behind almost everything they owned because there was so little notice from the court. The mother had previously followed every court order and was not prepared for this decision because she was waiting for the judge to rule on competing orders.

Judge Jackson allowed a deadbeat dad to move back into the house who has not complied with court orders for more than five years. Judge Jackson has known for many months that the deadbeat dad has refused to provide court ordered life insurance for the mother and the children. The mom had suggested to the court that their marital home might secure the dad’s life insurance obligation to her and to their kids, and she was waiting for the judge to decide. But the judge denied her request at the exact same time that he ordered her and the kids to vacate their home. Judge Jackson also knows that the kids have never spent a night with their dad in five years, and they refuse to live with him.

The deadbeat dad is also in contempt of court on other issues, both present and past. But Judge Jackson has refused for many months to even set a date in court for the trial to address the deadbeat dad’s contempt of court. Apparently, the dad has been in contempt of court before on several things. This particular deadbeat dad also stalked and threatened the mom and had a Protection from Abuse order enforced against him by Judge Jackson.

Yes, readers, you read correctly. Judge Jackson is aware that the mother is in compliance with court orders and always has been while the deadbeat dad is not in compliance with court orders and never has been. Judge Jackson ordered a mother and her children out of their home with only hours notice, so they are now homeless. But the deadbeat dad now has two homes.

And Judge Jackson has done nothing to secure the court ordered life insurance for a mother and children. The deadbeat dad might fall over dead at any minute, and it would be Judge Jackson’s fault alone that they did not have their mandated life insurance. I remind you readers that Judge Jackson has refused for months to even set a court date.

What is Judge Jackson doing? According to what I am hearing, he has some explaining to do. I am concerned about the mom and her children, even if Judge Jackson is not. I will follow up to let you know what happens in this case.

*****

We’ll add to the above commentary that we have heard complaints concerning the circuit court clerk’s office and its inability to schedule, rather than Judge Jackson’s. The same was said of Judge Jimmy Sandlin’s court. What is the truth? We have no idea, but hope the problem, no matter its roots, can be corrected as quickly as possible.

FAMILY COURT JUDGE SPEAKS OUT AGAINST BEING A CIRCUS!

Posted on by

A former family court judge in California is speaking out against a system that is “not about justice, but all about dollars.”

Former Family Court Judge Denise Salcedo said she was trained to ignore allegations of sexual abuse and domestic violence, which led her to make a decision to award custody of a 5-year old girl to her father, who continued to sexually abuse her and subsequently, 2 of her friends, until he was finally caught and convicted.

Judges would routinely get together in a judges meeting and accuse the moms who bring up allegations of sexual abuse or domestic violence as either “she was just having a bad day” or “she must be on her period” according to the former family court judge.

This happens all throughout the country. By some estimates, the Family Court Circus is a $25 BILLION a year industry, and realistically, it’s probably incredibly more than that when taking the income generated from prostitution and child pornography.

Though this is happening every day throughout the country, and throughout the world, our beef continues to be against those who conspired to steal our niece and to put her in harm’s way.

We will NEVER forgive or forget the illegal theft of our niece by Judge Billy Jackson of the Florence Alabama Family Court, Lauderdale County Family Court, of Denise Burch, representing Denise Burch Law, who is a Guardian ad litem, meaning she benefits financially by taking the child away from the parent so when she goes to court, she does so with a FINANCIAL INCENTIVE to destroy a family! So if you’re sitting near her in Church, ask her if she feels that she has a rewarding job, and listen to the B.S. that comes out of her mouth.

Other bit actors in the Family Court farce include Labrisca Cook, Nancy Buckner, Sara Hendershot, Patricia Miller and Chris Connelly, just to name a few.

Every one of these people should be serving life sentences for kidnapping and for conspiracy to commit crimes against nature. Every one of these folks know exactly what they are doing, which is to conspire to steal children from their homes for profit, place them in foster care and eventually sell them to the highest bidder even though THEY KNOW that the chances of these kids being abused is 5-9 times MORE LIKELY after being taken away from their homes, depending on which source is cited.

Parents are routinely lied to, paperwork is often misrepped, especially to poor parents or those with limited education, and meetings are often conducted “ex-partee” meaning behind the parent’s back and often without their knowledge. The conspiring thieves, such as Judge Billy Jackson, Denise Burch law, Chris Connelly, Labrisca Cook, Sara Hendershot, Patricia Miller and Nancy Buckner huddle together in the sanctity of the Lauderdale County Family Court (a.k.a. Kangaroo Court) and decide to terminate parental rights and take a child away from their family, never to be seen again.

PET SHOULD NOT BE TREATED THIS WAY, LET ALONE CHILDREN!!!!!! But as ex-Family Court Judge Denise Salcedo said, “it’s not about Justice. It’s all about the money.”

The fact is that the State of Alabama earns more money by taking a child away from their family then by working out a reconciliation plan or by awarding the child to a family member. Judge Billy Jackson, Denise Burch law, Chris Connelly, Labrisca Cook, Sara Hendershot, Patricia Miller and Nancy Buckner know that often times the family is NEVER EVEN ASKED if they want the child, because the MONETARY GOAL is to steal the child and put them in the system.

As the late, great Georgia State Senator Nancy Schaefer, who was allegedly MURDERED trying to bring this topic to light, once said: “Children are taken because states need the inventory.” Think about that for a second. It’s no different that a supermarket stocking their shelves with items for sale, except that the DHR’s, the FAMILY COURTS, the GAL’s, and the JUDGES all play act this farce that they’re looking out for children while actually stealing them from their families for profit because “they need the inventory!”

Senator Schaefer also said that “poor families are targeted because they have limited education and limited means to defend themselves.”

This happens every day in every state in America, and in many countries throughout the world. Stealing our children with no due process is, from a financial perspective, a HUGE BUSINESS that has ABSOLUTELY NO REGARD for the SAFETY OR WELL BEING of the CHILDREN they are sworn to protect.

There are multiple you-tube videos from ex-Judge Denise Salcedo, who we admire for standing up against the system. We wish her well and we hope that one day, people with a conscience will outnumber those without a conscience, such as Judge Billy Jackson, Denise Burch law, Chris Connelly, Labrisca Cook, Sara Hendershot, Patricia Miller and Nancy Buckner, and that changes will be made to protect our children and stop destroying families.

In the meantime, please see other posts on this sight regarding how to file criminal charges against your judge – YEP – IT’S COMING BILLY – and how to file a Civil Suit against your offenders, county, city and state such as the $20 MILLION SUIT filed by the Reale Family and so many others that are pending throughout the country – YEP – THAT’S COMING TOO, Judge Billy Jackson, Denise Burch law, Chris Connelly, Labrisca Cook, Sara Hendershot, Patricia Miller and Nancy Buckner!!

You folks drew first blood by stealing our niece. Then we learned how many times you folks committed these crimes against other children and against other families.

May there be life sentences and financial ruin in each of your futures……….

Until next time………..

THE BIRTH OF THE REVOLUTIONARY PARTY!

Posted on by

So much has happened since going to Washington D.C. in February. Most importantly, we confirmed that virtually everyone in D.C. is corrupt, and that there will be no action from them to change the course of the corruption in our courts.

The issues that each of us have faced in corrupt family courts in Alabama by kangaroo courts is just the tip of the iceberg. Throughout the country, in virtually every courtroom in the country, the depth of corruption is so rampant it’s almost unimaginable.

There’s no way to fix the corruption in D.C. because D.C. is simply the head of the snake. The corruption starts there, and sets the tone for the country.

The only way to bring about change is through peaceful revolution. The leader of the Revolutionary Party is Bill Windsor, a 64 year old, 40 year married Vietnam Veteran with a clean record who traveled to all 50 states in 2012 recording the stories of hundreds upon hundreds of victims of our corrupt courts.

Now, having given D.C. the opportunity to take action, and having been rebuffed, the only choice is to create a new party and elect our own, honest people who agree to sign a contract with the voters they represent to vote in our best interest or face grand jury indictment and prosecution.

The Revolutionary Party is gaining ground fast. Already, tens of thousands of us are part of a grass roots organization to find an honest candidate in each jurisdiction as an alternative to the two corrupt parties that are currently destroying our country.

Please take the time to watch this video and to explore the links. Lawlessamerica.com is the new revolution, and we believe that peaceful change is possible. We simply need to hire new, honest representatives instead of re-electing those who have no interest in serving our best interest.

Unfortunately, this means that there are no quick answers and no short-term justice for the victims and families of courts that have made decisions that harm the children, the parents, the grandparents, etc.

We have contacted everyone up to and including Mr. Obama, and have been rebuffed at every level. So our work is cut out for us, because based on the effort that we extended and the depth of our contacts and commitments, it is estimated the the court system on every level throughout the country is a 10-12 trillion dollar annual business, so nobody has the interest or power to change it.

But we CAN change it by creating a new party, and now is the time. The Revolutionary Party is simply a group of victims that want fair representation and for our Constitution and Bill of Rights to be respected and honored.

Here’s Bill Windsor to talk to you about what’s wrong with the Country and what the Revolutionary Party plans to do to fix it. Please join us – the future of our country depends upon how many people become part of our peaceful Revolution!

Lawless America
Bill Windsor feels corrupt judges and government officials who ignore the Constitution should be charged with TREASON

FEBRUARY 5TH 2013 IS FINALLY HERE!

Posted on by

Our group of 1000 strong is on Capital Hill today and tomorrow meeting with Senators and Congressmen from every state to discuss the corruption in all facets of the judicial system, and specifically in the Family Courts!

To follow the action, go to lawlessamerica.com.

We’re getting stronger every day, and we WILL NOT STOP until we effectuate a positive change for the sake of the children and their families no matter what the obstacles are, no matter how much money is involved and no matter how long it takes.

DHR’s, GAL’s, Family Court judges, and all who are a part of the most corrupt system in the country, take note:

WE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO CONTINUE TO STEAL CHILDREN JUST SO THAT YOU HAVE INVENTORY IN YOUR FOSTER CARE PROGRAM!

WE’RE GETTING CLOSER TO JUDGEMENT DAY!!!!!

Posted on by

2 VERY EXCITING THINGS ARE ABOUT TO HAPPEN!

First, on Tuesday February 5th and Wednesday February 6th, the Lawless America team will be in Washington D.C!

Approximately 1000 victims of judicial corruption will descend upon Congress, delivering documentation of tons of instances of judicial abuse and speaking to those Congressmen who give us their time.

Pipsqueaks like Judge Billy Jackson, DHR workers such as Labrisca Cook, Sarah Hendershot and Nancy Buckner, crooked D.A’s like Chris Connelly, and appalling GAL’s like Denise H Burch or Denise Burch Law will be starring in our testimony for all to hear!

There are negotiations in progress to pick up Lawless America as a prime time television show!

To the judges, DHR workers, and supporting cast of characters who have done whatever they wanted with no regard for the safety of the children or their families or the law are getting closer to their judgement day!

In California, and in other states as well, multi-million dollar lawsuits against offending counties and DHR departments and their workers have resulted in huge settlements, and we are happy to announce that we are getting closer to being able to file these lawsuits.

For all of you who have shared your stories, we are NOT giving up, but rather, there are over 1000 of us now and we are getting stronger! We will attempt to get Congress to change the law to prevent future corruption from being as easy to get away with as it is now. Right now it is actually ENCOURAGED by every state because of the revenue that stealing children brings. By one estimate, 80% of the children that are taken are NOT in danger. And that means that a warrant is needed but in almost every case, DHR workers steal these children, lie to the parents, and are backed up by the crooked courts with judges making decisions to destroy families.

Whether Congress acts or not, every case is a potential multi-million dollar settlement, and a class action case could yield as much as a BILLION DOLLAR settlement based on the individual awards, some of which are in the $5 million range for ONE family. Multiply this by an entire class of families and add triple damages and legitimately, there is a potential for a BILLION DOLLAR SETTLEMENT.

The moral of the story is that if the state is going to condone the theft of children for profit, and if Congress won’t act to stop it, we will sue one case at a time if we have to, and eventually the state will be forced into bankruptcy. Perhaps then they will realize that they’re not such big shots after all, which is why I call them pipsqueaks. I mean this is the most demeaning way because there’s NOTHING LOWER than human trafficking for profit. But when you consider that they are STEALING CHILDREN, often from poor homes that can’t afford to defend themselves, and when you consider that these children are 5-9 times more likely to be abused than if they were just left in their home, it becomes obvious what low-lifes these people are.

The GOOD NEWS IS that the press has been notified, meetings have already taken place with federal judges, civil rights attorneys are now getting involved, there’s over 1000 families that have already given testimony, and Lawless America is negotiating to be in Prime Time.

When the DHR in Florence stole our niece, denied our rights, sent her away, put her in jeopardy, covered it up, and was as hateful as can be, they made a mistake.

A HUGE MISTAKE. In honor of our niece and on behalf of every family that was victimized like we were, there WILL BE JUSTICE and it WILL BE PAINFUL, hopefully to the tune of many millions of dollars.

That’s what you get for stealing children so you have inventory to supply child prostitution rings!!!!

More soon!

Until then,

I’m Rob!

WELL, JUDGEMENT DAY IS COMING!

Posted on by

For all those who want to be part of the National Movement to stop Judicial Corruption, meet us in Washington D.C. on February 5th and 6th!

All the information is available on lawlessamerica.com.

Bill has been working on his documentary for the better part of a year now, and in spite of the resistance that has certainly been fueled in part in an effort to silence him, the movement is just too big.

While we recognize that just the Family Court portion is a $25 billion a year industry, we have to do all that we can do to stop them from continuing to steal children so that they have the inventory they need to fuel the ongoing child prostitution and pornography rings throughout the country.

In fact, without the last 60 days there was a report in Los Angeles on how the most of the children in the child prostitution/porn industry out there come from the foster care system.

People with no conscience steal children from parents that can’t defend themselves in a totally corrupt court system, and those children not only generate money from the federal government, but they also generate who-knows-how-much-money – probably billions of dollars more – after they are taken from their families and turned out on the streets.

The fact that our children are being used as inventory is unconscionable.

By at least one report, 80% of all children that are removed from their homes were NOT in any imminent danger. The state just needed the money and the inventory.

Fighting this issue is what got Nancy Schaeffer murdered, no matter what the GBI report said. Georgia is one of the most crooked states in the nation based on Dorsey, the sitting Sheriff, plotting to murder Derwood Brown, who was elected on the platform of cleaning up corruption down there. So both Nancy and Derwood spoke up, attempted to fight against corruption, and were both executed.

However, the corrupt court system, the blatant theft of the children, and the child prostitution/pornography industry, still thrives today. Good work law enforcement!

We will be in Washington D.C. on Feb 5th and 6th. Those who want to join us are more than welcome.

Be advised that both threats and intimidation have been made with the intention of curtailing our trip to D.C. We’ve been told that the lawlessamerica organization has been labeled a “Terrorist Group” and that the “riot police” will be waiting to greet us.

It will all be filmed, riot police, so if you truly want to arrest a group of people who are trying to stop corruption, save the taxpayers billions of dollars, stop the theft of our children and the use of them as inventory in prostitution and pornography, then by all means go ahead and stop us, and then try to sleep at night. I’d hate to be you.

Remember, children are 9 times more likely to be abused once in the foster care system than they would have been if they were left in their own homes.

We will do what we can, not expecting miracles because there’s no way to know if the very people that we are appealing to in order to get them to help change to laws to stop the corruption are profiting either directly or indirectly from the corruption and have no intention of doing anything other than to make sure it continues.

We do know that both Nancy Schaeffer and Derwin Brown were murdered trying to clean up corruption in Georgia, and we know that the GBI looked the other way in Nancy’s case. So we recognize that we have an uphill battle, but it is one that must be fought for the sake of our children, our families, and our freedom.

For all of those in the Alabama DHR system that make it their practice to steal children every day, to terminate parental rights, to separate children from their families never to be reunited, don’t think for a second that nobody sees or knows what you’re doing, or that you’re getting away with it.

Aside from the fact that each and every one of you will be sued individually, and don’t think for a second that you are protected because you’re not, each day a little bit more of your soul is lost as you tear apart the heart of a child and of their family.

Judge Billy Jackson, Denise H Burch, Denise Burch Law, Sarah Hendershot, Labrisca Cook, Nancy Buckner, and Chris Connelly, to name a few, individually and collectively, you will soon be in the movies, so congratulations in advance.

This Video Details the Horrific DHR/CPS Issues Throughout the Country!

Posted on by

The very disturbing truth!

As many as 80% of all removals of children from their homes are unnecessary according to authorities quoted in this video.

Alabama is no exception. For the almighty dollar, the corruption is as extensive if not more extensive than many other states in the country.

As you can see, the News, as well as Senators and Congressmen are fully aware of the problems, but it’s a $20+ BILLION a year industry so nobody has the guts to step up and make changes.

Nancy Schaefer, a former Georgia State Senator, was allegedly murdered in her home along with her husband as she continued to speak out, insisting that parental rights should never be taken away without a jury trial.

DHR/CPS have more authority that the FBI, SWAT and the POLICE. They can go into a home a remove a child without a warrant and without a court order.

We will continue to fight, and since Congress doesn’t seem willing to change the law, the next best way is to sue, in every case, and force each county into bankruptcy by placing multi-million dollar judgments against them.

Take the time to watch this video and then call your Governor, Senators and Congressmen and ask them what they intend to do about this horrific issue!!!

Until next time,

I’m Rob!

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR SETTLEMENT!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Federal Jury in San Jose, CA Awards $3.25 Million in Damages
to a Family for the Unlawful Seizure of Their Children

(San Jose, CA | April 4, 2011) In one of the largest jury awards in San Jose in the last 20 years, a federal jury took only 90 minutes to award $3.25 million dollars to a family whose children had been unlawfully taken by San Jose police officers as retaliation for asserting their rights as citizens. Most notably, the jury assessed $2 million dollars in punitive damages for the officers’ reckless abuse of authority.

A jury in the U.S. District Court in Northern California today returned a unanimous verdict against officers from the San Jose Police Department for the violation of an entire family’s civil rights and awarded $3.25 million in damages. The Law Offices of Johnson & Johnson in Walnut Creek, CA and the Law Office of Robert Powell & Associates of San Jose, CA represented the family in their claims against the officers and the City of San Jose.

The case stemmed from an incident on June 29, 2005 where San Jose police officers William Hoyt and Craig Blank with at least five other uniformed officers responded to an unverified claim of abuse, entered the home of a San Jose family under the guise of a welfare check, then forcibly removed two children without a warrant and later seized a third child as well.

The jury heard testimony during the week-long trial that officers in the department have never sought warrants or court orders for removing children – in violation of federal law – and then falsified their claims of an emergency to justify taking all of the children. Police recordings and logs entered into evidence also dramatically demonstrated the officers’ decision to take the children without conducting any investigation.

“The jury rejected the officer’s claims of exigency in seizing
the children and took only 45 minutes to find they violated
the entire family’s civil rights.”

In one of the largest jury awards in nearly two decades in San Jose, the federal jury took only 45 minutes to find liability for all claims against Hoyt and Blank, and two days later, took just 90 minutes to award $1.25 million in compensatory damages for the family plus an additional $2 million in punitive damages. The case C06-4029 RMW, Watson v. Craig Blank, William Hoyt and the City of San Jose, went to trial on March 23, 2011 in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, San Jose Division. After a week of testimony, the jury found Blank and Hoyt liable for constitutional violations against the family on March 30, and awarded damages two days later on April 1.

“This jury verdict exposes a long-standing practice of warrantless ‘snatch-and-grab’ conduct by law enforcement agencies in Santa Clara County,” said Peter Johnson, attorney for the family. He continued, “The jury heard compelling testimony and evidence during the week-long trial that officers in the department have never sought warrants or court orders for removing children – in violation of federal law – and then falsified their claims of an emergency to justify taking all of the children. ”

“These parents were retaliated against by law enforcement and social services for merely asserting their rights as citizens. In an oppressive and reckless abuse of authority, the police responded by seizing their children,” continued Johnson.

“We feel this verdict sends a resounding message to the San Jose Police Department, as well as all other law enforcement officers in Santa Clara County,” said Johnson. “They are on notice their unlawful conduct will not be tolerated, and officers will be held accountable.”

The best way to stop the ABUSE of power and authority that is destroying our children and their families to find a Civil Rights Attorney that will sue the offending county and/or the State for millions of dollars.

The only thing these criminals understand is money, and the only way to stop them is to make it unprofitable to continue to steal children.

Until Next Time,

I’m Rob!

HOW TO SUE THE OFFENDING COUNTY!!!

Posted on by

County loses $4.9 million lawsuit challenge over lying social workers
April 21st, 2011, 1:45 pm · · posted by Kimberly Edds, Staff Writer

The County of Orange lost its battle in the U.S. Supreme Court Monday to overturn a record-setting $4.9 million judgment awarded to a Seal Beach woman, after two county social workers lied to a juvenile court commissioner in order to take away the woman’s two daughters.

It took Deanna Fogarty-Hardwick 6 ½ years to regain custody of her children.

The jury award given to Fogarty-Hardwick included damages against the two social workers. The Supreme Court also upheld $1.6 million in attorneys fees for Fogarty-Hardwick’s attorneys, but that could end being as much as $3 million, Fogarty-Hardwick’s attorney Shawn McMillan said.

The county and the two social workers will also be responsible for paying interest which has accrued on the $4.9 million jury award over the last four years, bringing the grand total close to $9.3 million, McMillan said.

Fogarty-Hardwick’s attorneys had offered to settle with the county for $500,000.

Orange County Social Services social workers Marcie Vreeken and Helen Dwojak filed false reports and held back evidence which would have cleared Fogarty-Hardwick, an Orange County jury found. Vreeken would later be promoted, according to county records.
A third social worker was found not liable.

According to court papers, Vreeken threatened that if Fogarty-Hardwick did not “submit” to her will, she would never see her children again. The social workers also tried in 2000 to coerce Fogarty-Hardwick to sign a document saying she was a bad parent by threatening to take her daughters away, Fogarty-Hardwick alleged.

She refused. A county commissioner ordered Fogarty-Hardwick’s daughters, 6 and 9, taken from their mother and put in Orangewood Children’s Home.
The girls were later put in foster care.

Fogarty-Hardwick gave her ex-husband full custody in 2002, hoping to protect her daughters. She was then allowed two supervised visits a month for two years. She eventually won 50-50 custody in 2006.

Fogarty-Hardwick sued the county in 2002, arguing the Social Services Agency and its two social workers violated her civil rights. A jury ruled against her.

She sued again, arguing this time county’s policies violated her constitutional rights, including her Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

Fogarty-Hardwick’s accused the county of violating her constitutional rights by removing her children without making a finding of imminent danger or serious physical injury; interviewing her daughters without a parent present; holding her children without cause; fabricating evidence; and failing to properly train employees about parents’ constitutional rights.

An Orange County jury voted 10-2 in 2007 in favor of Fogarty-Hardwick and awarded her $4.9 million.
The county appealed the judgment.

In the Fourth District Court of Appeal opinion, Justice William Bedsworth wrote, “the evidence adduced at trial obviously caused both the jury and the judge to conclude not only that something seriously wrong was done to Fogarty-Hardwick in this case, but also that the wrongful conduct was not an isolated incident.”

“Despite Fogarty-Hardwick’s complaints, and the concerns expressed by others about the handling of this dependency case, SSA did not investigate the situation or consider assigning different social workers to the matter. Neither of the social workers involved was disciplined. Instead, Vreeken was promoted to supervisor in 2001,” Bedsworth wrote.
The Watchdog is looking into whether Vreeken and Dwojak still work for the county.

“What the county and these social workers did to her was horrendous and she deserves to be compensated in full measure,” McMillan said.
“It’s a big deal for a private citizen to take on the government all the way to the United States Supreme Court,” McMillan said. “(Fogarty-Hardwick) poured her whole life into this case. She provided a valuable service to Orange County and to other parents for having the tenacity to stick with it.”

So what does it mean to us, the victims of people like DHR Social Worker Labrisca Cook, GAL Attorney Denise H Burch, Judge Billy Jackson, DHR Supervisor Sarah Hendershot, DHR Commissioner Nancy Buckner, and all of the deceitful, manipulative, horrible people that assist in the “Farce” known as “Family Court” on a daily basis?

It means that we now have a blueprint for success! Following the very same formula as Fogarty-Hardwick.

Specifically:

Sue the county in which the offense occurred, claiming that DHR policies violated your constitutional rights, including your Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

Fogarty-Hardwick’s accused the county of violating her constitutional rights by removing her children without making a finding of imminent danger or serious physical injury; interviewing her daughters without a parent present; holding her children without cause; fabricating evidence; and failing to properly train employees about parents’ constitutional rights.

An Orange County jury voted 10-2 in 2007 in favor of Fogarty-Hardwick and awarded her $4.9 million.

If every one of us sue the offending country, we can not only make a huge statement, we can also bankrupt the county, causing them to shut down and forcing them to rebuild from the ground up. This shake up is the equivalent of a revolutionary war, where the entire government ends up forfeiting their power and their operation.

We tried to play nicely. We made complaints to every available entity. Nobody wants to hear it. Everyone covers for each other like sick, depraved little thieves. Nobody cares about the children that are hurt, or the families that are destroyed. Totally unqualified people attack innocent families every day and get away with it.

And it happens all throughout the country. But in Orange County, Fogarty-Hardwick successfully sued the county and won a $4.9 MILLION judgement, which was upheld in the Supreme Court.

We still have a meeting with Congress in February 2013, but in addition, we’re interviewing attorneys right now.

Whether you have an interest in being part of a class-action suit, or whether you prefer to sue individually, the Fogarty-Hardwick case has created a blueprint for what points of law to sue on and for there to now be Supreme Court case law on the matter.

So since Alabama did not want to take any steps to correct a situation that has been complained about hundreds if not thousands of times, over and over and over for the last 10 years, and now that there is a Supreme Court case to follow, let’s all do our best to successfully sue the State of Alabama, and force each county to pay out so much in judgments that they ultimately go bankrupt and can no longer operate their hate agencies or employ their thugs!

Until Next Time,

I’m Rob!
