The Courts and the Legal Profession in Texas – The Insider’s
Perspective a Survey of Judges, Court Personnel, and Attorneys;
Prepared by: Supreme Court of Texas, State Bar of Texas, Texas Office of court
Administration through the State Justice Institute
Influence of Campaign Contributions to Judges
·
Judges were close to evenly split
in their assessment of the impact of campaign contributions on judicial decisions,
with about half (48 percent) believing that such contributions have a “fairly”
or “very” significant influence and 52 percent asserting that contributions
have “no” or a “not very significant” influence.
·
In contrast, large majorities
of court personnel (69 percent) and attorneys (79 percent) believed that campaign
contributions to judges have a “very” or “fairly” significant influence on judges’
courtroom decisions.
·
Among judges, those most likely to feel that campaign contributions
to judges affect their decisions were judges serving in local trial courts,
minority judges, and rural judges. Minority court personnel and minority attorneys
were also more likely to perceive that campaign donations affected judges.
Almost all (92 percent) minority lawyers thought that campaign donations have
a significant impact on judicial decision-making.
Domestic Violence by Police Officers
Donald C. Sheehan – Supervisory Special Agent Federal
Bureau of Investigation – Editor – Washington, D.C. 2000
“See page 298, “Estimates of abuse by law
enforcement personnel range from 22 percent to 41 percent (Neidig et al., 1992).
However, authorities have not yet reached an agreement on these figures.”
(If a police officer abuses his adult intimate
partner, a 70% percent chance exists that he is also abusing the children and
if the same police officer investigates a case of domestic violence, a good
possibility exists that he will not take steps to protect the adult female victim
and/or the children.)
Other problematic manifestations within the
scope of abuse to women and/or children is:
A critical pattern has developed with dead beat
dads: For years many fathers have not wanted to pay child support so now they
have figured out that many of the family court judges can be bought through
campaign contributions and other ways and that many women can not afford the
legal fees for a legal court battle so the men just file for custody of the
children in court, lie about the mother and the judge in many of these cases,
changes custody of the child from the mother to the father. The father no longer
supports the child in the manner the child should be supported, the child suffers
emotionally because the child has been basically taken away from the primary
care giver, usually the mother is the one person that had been nurturing the
child emotionally and with love. The child is scarred for life and the father
usually does not care. He has put an invisible knife through the mother’s heart
by separating her from her children and achieves the vindictiveness at the expense
of the future of the child.
The following story is that of an abused mother and her daughter.
I site the above stated resources due to the following information frankly being
“hard to believe”, but I swear it is by proof of my sworn affidavit. The abusers
of my daughter were able to buy judges through campaign contributions and other
promises of political support, influence fraud and wrong-doing by state agency
workers including police officers, district attorneys, CPS workers and the list
goes on and on. The abusers of my daughter influenced several people within
several branches of the legal system in the State of Texas to cover up the abuse
of my daughter and end our mother/daughter relationship. The child’s identity
shall remain protected. The following story may only be used for display on

[1] Affidavit
STATE OF TEXAS
COUNTY OF DALLAS
BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, on this day personally appeared Patricia
L. Hope, who, being by me duly sworn, on her oath deposed and stated as follows:
“My name is Patricia L. Hope. I am over the age
of 18 years, I have never been convicted of a crime, I am fully competent to
make this affidavit and I have personal knowledge of the facts stated herein,
and I state that every statement of fact contained therein is within my personal
knowledge and is true and correct.
“I certify that the attached documents submitted
within, were copies of original official documents and are a true and correct
copy.
“I hearby attest that Julie Ackerman, custodian
of records for Court TV sent me via, Federal Express directly to me, for viewing
and to place in my business records the entire video-taped sworn testimony of
retired Judge Robert O’Donnell, made on February 19, 1997 in Denton County,
Texas. I support her affidavit signed the 16th day of April, 1998
completely and believe it to be an exact duplicate of the original. I hereby
attest that I viewed the entire video-taped sworn testimony of retired Judge
Robert O’Donnell, made on February 19, 1997 in Denton County, Texas, and that
I accurately read the transcribed testimony given by Judge Robert O’Donnell
which is attached as Exhibit A, and the fifteen page transcribed testimony given
by Judge Robert O’Donnell matches the audio in the video-taped sworn testimony
of retired Judge Robert O’Donnell. I have placed this video in business records
that are stored in such a place that I can retrieve it. Robert O’Donnell’s
testimony is extremely relevant to this case his testimony offers genuine evidence
that supports the conspiracy between the Defendants and the Collin County Judges.
The Collin County judges knew they did not have jurisdiction of this case, but
they participated with the father and his family in the conspiracy regardless
of the federal and state laws. Federal and state law mandates an attorney ad
litem has to be appointed in a case to represent the best interest of the child
when abuse of the child has been brought to the attention of the court. An
Order was in place that vacated the father’s visitation rights due to finding
that the evidence showed the father and his wife had performed numerous acts
of sexual intercourse in front of the child and other sexual misconduct in front
of the child. After this hearing in Dallas County, TX, the father knew he was
on his way to jail, so they committed fraud and unlawfully transferred the case
to Collin County, Texas. The fraudulent transfer did not have a signature of
an attorney ad litem, therefore was an unlawful transfer. In addition, the
transfer order was fraudulent in its face due to the judge failing to sign a
transfer order. In addition, the transfer order was fraudulent because it was
never signed by me, the perpetrators attached a second page to a first page,
the second page had my signature but I signature was only recognizing that page
in its face which had nothing to do with a transfer, it only allowed my attorney
to withdraw as documented. In this case it could not be transferred to another
court unless a legal and binding transfer order was signed.
“We as a community and nation have lost interest
in judicial elections, not because we don’t care, because the Media has not
brought it to the nation’s attention that an emergency exist. In the final
analysis attorneys, large car dealerships and large corporations own the judges.
America can take their courts back if they were only informed of the emergency
that exists throughout the nation.
“Patricia Hope’s attorneys filed a huge pleading
with the Supreme Court of Texas, the abuser’s contacts went all the way to The
Supreme Court of Texas, where they did not hear the case due to stating other
steps should be taken prior to filing with them. They had the opportunity to
protect my abused daughter and failed to do so.
“There exists overwhelming evidence of a conspiracy due to so many violations
of federal and state laws by the judges, Defendants, court ordered experts and
the Defendant’s attorney which denied Plaintiff her constitutional right to
family integrity and her constitutional right to protect her daughter against
sexual and physical abuse.
“As stated above, Federal, Texas State Family Law
and Texas State Criminal Law requires an attorney ad litem to be appointed when
abuse to a child has been reported to a court. The case could never have been
transferred from Dallas County to Collin County due to the best interest of
the child having no representation through an attorney ad litem.
“My daughter’s grandfather – her father’s father
– is associated with organizations that exert enormous political influence.
As a consequence of this unbridled and out-of-control abuse of power, the father
and grandfather, have UNLAWFULLY stolen the life of my daughter, my daughter
from me. Moreover, they have corrupted judges, influencing them to illegally
terminate the relationship between my daughter and me, her loving mother. This
fraudulent act prevents human contact or any natural relationship between my
daughter and me. And that’s not all the father of the alleged perpetrator, through
his contacts and through his nephew,
have committed fraud in numerous ways and have been successful in getting many
corrupt judges and other corrupt state, county and city officials to obstruct
justice and violate many laws established to protect sexually-abused children.
By extension, these people have aided in the molestation of my daughter.
“On or about April 2, 1988, my daughter – then 2
½ years old -- reported to me specific instances of alleged sexual abuse and
alleged that these acts were perpetrated by her biological father. My daughter
also reported and described certain acts of alleged sexual abuse perpetrated
upon her and alleged the perpetrator was the girlfriend (and later his wife).
I contacted the Texas Department of Human Services, Child Protection Services
Division in Dallas County (TDHS). The intake worker initially refused to speak
to my daughter, stating that she would be too young for such an interview, but
soon agreed to meet with her.
“In June, 1988, the father kidnapped my daughter
for two weeks and refused to take my daughter to TDHS for an interview of alleged
sexual abuse. He claimed he had legal visitation with her but in fact this
visitation period was legally exchanged for another time, but he unlawfully
took her and kept her in his possession. TDHS contacted the father numerous
times and he refused to take her in. My daughter was returned emotionally traumatized
and afraid to talk about what her father and his wife did to her. As soon as
my daughter was returned, TDHS wanted me to bring my daughter in as soon as
possible. I cooperated with TDHS just as soon as I got my daughter back. On
July 1, 1988, TDHS, through its agent Cathy Ormond, interviewed and videotaped
my daughter. During such interview, my daughter described certain sexual touching
but did not name the alleged perpetrator to them. She had previously named
her father and his wife as the alleged perpetrators but appeared afraid to name
them now.
“My daughter was interviewed and videotaped again
on December 30, 1988, this time by Kathy Porter Bennett , an agent considered
to be an expert in the area of alleged sexual abuse of children for TDHS. As
time went on, my daughter reported subsequent incidents of abuse, prompting
further investigations by TDHS.
“A judicial hearing about my daughter’s alleged
sexual abuse was held in the 255th Judicial Court, Dallas County, Texas. On
July 18, 1989, the court granted requests and found certain orders were necessary
for the safety and welfare of my daughter. With the help of the TDHS workers,
who testified that they had reason to believe that my daughter had been sexually
abused by her father, the court vacated the father’s visitation and my daughter
remained in my protected care. The judge evidently could see through the fraud
and lies of a Dallas Police offficer and a Dallas Court appointed psychologist
who attempted to discredit me with their false accusations.
“Excerpts from court hearing July 18, 1989 in the 255th State District
255th Court, Visiting Judge William Sheehan residing.
(Mr. Patricia Hope’s attorney: )
Q.
Would you state your name for the Court, please?
A. Kathy Porter Bennett
Q.
And how are you employed?
A.
As a supervisor with Child Protective Services
in Dallas County.
Q.
And in that capacity what are your responsibilities?
A.
I supervise seven workers who do investigation
and ongoing services on families who have been reported for abuse or neglect.
Q.
And what kind of educational background and
special training have you had?
A.
I have bachelors in social work.
Q.
From the University of Texas in Arlington. I have had other kinds of advance
education at the University of Texas in Arlington.
A.
Do you have any special training or on-the-job
training or any kind in the alleged sexual abuse field?
Q.
Yes
A.
I was a caseworker for five years and I worked with a number of sexually abused
children and families. I have been to the MICSAIT Training provided by the
department for training in working with sexually abused families, victims and
their families.
Q.
Did you have occasion to meet (name – of the child) in this matter?
A.
Yes
Q.
And Patricia Hope my client, sitting next to
me?
A.
Yes, briefly.
Q.
Would you tell the Court, please, how you came
in contact with them, what were the circumstances?
A.
I was requested by a caseworker to do an interview with a young child. I have
got a lot of experience interviewing preschoolers and they asked me to do this
videotape.
Q.
Had you spoken to Patricia Hope at any time
prior to this?
A.
No
Q.
Did you have any background at all other than
you were told to do the tape?
A.
When I went to the room to – where they all
were, she told me her name and her age, the mother did, and I talked with “the
child” about the dolls that she had brought with her, and we went down the hall
and left the parents in the room with the worker.
Q.
So you had no input from the mother –
A.
Right.
Q.
What did you observe?
A.
She was developmentally, I thought, right on target, if not better. She has
good verbal skills. She was real talkative, talked real well. She was neatly
dressed and attractive and, you know, she was willing to, you know, talk with
someone. I mean she wasn’t stoic or quiet.
Q.
And during the course of your observation, what
did you say and what did she say in response that you would summarize for us.
A.
Okay. I began by talking about her and the little dolls that she had brought
that she had named Pete and Kathy.
Q.
If you would continue with what you observed.
A.
I asked her, because I was not – I was under
the assumption I was probably being asked to do videotape about alleged sexual
abuse, because that’s the most common thing we do videotapes about, but I didn’t
now whether that was what the allegation was, so I asked her, “Did someone hurt
you?’
Q.
What you observed.
A.
I observed a child who, when talking about alleged
sexual abuse, expressed fear, was able to talk – I am having a hard time describing.
Q.
Tell us what actions she took.
A.
She laid the little girl down like this and
put a male doll unclothed on top of the doll and went like this with the male
doll on top of the little girl.
Q.
Continue. What else you observed.
A.
She used the dolls that she brought. She was – she liked those dolls. I would
say probably her preference was for the dolls that she had. And she showed
with the girl doll—The Barbie doll, girl doll, was on the bottom and the Barbie
doll, male doll, was on top. The girl doll’s legs were up in the air, you know,
spread, and the male was in between.
Q. As a result of your tests and observations of
the child, did you form any opinion as to whether or not
this child had encountered any sexual abuse?
A. Yes
Q.
And what opinion did you form?
A.
I believe that she had.
Q.
Do you believe that there is any possibility
or what do you believe that the probability is that this child was coached by
anyone prior to your doing the videotape?
A.
I do not believe that she was coached.
Q.
Do you have a basis for that opinion?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And what is the basis for the opinion?
A.
When kids have been coached, usually they are ore rote. They don’t show feelings
and expressions about what they have experienced. I think that she did. I
think that when she points to herself, it’s not that this thing happened, when
they know what that thing is or not. When they point to themselves, that is
a very personal explanation, and she was very clear about her pain and what
she said happened with her.
Q.
From your experience in years of doing this
type of testing, do you believe it’s possible to get an accurate result from
a three-year-old child?
A.
I think most of the time.
Q.
As a further result of your investigation and
observation, did you form an opinion as to who the alleged perpetrator might
be?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Who do – did you form an opinion the alleged
perpetrator might be?
A.
Yes, I did.
Q.
Who?
A.
A man she calls Pete.
Q.
Pass the witness
“Judge Sheehan: The court orders that
visitation between Pete and the child, (name) be vacated until supervised by
the TDHS and until further order of the Court. Further, the court finds that
the alleged incidents of alleged sexual abuse on April 9, 1989, should be investigated
by TDHS; (the name of the child) is to be interviewed and a supplemental report
is to be filed not more than 30 days from the date of the hearing. ((name)
the child remain in the custody of her mother, Patricia Hope.)
“TDHS final finding of alleged sexual abuse to my
daughter by her father was produced in writing. Exhibit J. Despite
the ruling in favor of y daughter and me, all was not well. On or about November
18, 1989, after the case was unlawfully transferred to a corrupt judge in Collin
County, Texas, the corrupt Judge White violated state and federal laws established
to protect abused children. Before hearing any testimony in the case, he changed
the earlier ruling and granted the father, unsupervised visitation. No consideration
was given to my daughter’s safety. I was forced to turn my daughter over to
her alleged abusers. She returned complaining of additional abuse at the hands
of her father and his wife.
“My daughter was again interviewed by TDHS on March
16, 1990, this time by a Collin County agent. The letter expressed certain
concerns based on my daughter’s statements to her. One sentence resonated loudly:
“The agency is asking Ms. Pat Hope to take steps to protect her daughter from
possible further abuse until the investigation of alleged sexual abuse allegations
is completed.”
“These investigations, however, were never completed.
Instead they were illegally halted by Judge White . On several occasions TDHS
clearly had reason to believe that my daughter was sexually abused by her father
and she was in danger in being in his presence. TDHS advised me in writing
that I had to take steps to protect my daughter from her father, or she would
be taken away from me. Every time that TDHS informed me of this, I was under
court orders to release my daughter to her father, her alleged abuser, for periodic
unsupervised visitation. Exhibits J, Consequently, I could not lawfully withhold
visitation without being at risk of Judge White putting me in jail. TDHS suggested
that the father submit to a polygraph, or lie detector, test to determine whether
he could support his denial of the allegations against him. The test would
be administered by a representative of the Texas Department of Public Safety
(TDPS), and the state would foot the bill. I agreed to be tested but the father,
refused to be examined by the (TDPS) and instead influenced Judge White to
select the polygrapher the father, wanted and to allow him to pay for both
his and my examinations. I opposed this vehemently, the judge insisted and
further threatened me. As a result, it was a wasted effort. The questions
asked of the father, were ambiguous and poorly designed, enabling him to appear
truthful. He was never asked specifically what he did to my daughter. I answered
all questions asked of me about my daughter’s alleged sexual abuse and about
who perpetrated it truthfully. My testimony was honest and sincere. He refused
to provide the test or results to an expert for analysis. I passed a subsequent
polygraph test in every area. TDHS also wanted to hook his private parts
up to an instrument and show him nude pictures of children to see if he was
sexually aroused by these pictures. The alleged perpetrator, father of the
child refused to be tested.
“In the spring of 1990, my father suddenly passed
away as the result of a heart attack. The pressure was more than we could emotionally
deal with at the time. My mother and entire family knew no greater suffering
than the loss of my father. We needed time to grieve his death. We were denied
a continuance from the court, which would have allowed us time to grieve my
father’s death. My daughter continued to suffer abuse during her unsupervised
visits with her father, and there was nothing I could legally do to stop it.
On June 30, 1990, the day before her father, was to begin a full month of visitation
with my daughter, we fled for the first time and went into hiding to protect
my daughter from further sexual abuse. I left the state with my daughter, trying
desperately to protect her myself since the corrupt judicial system not only
refused to help her but also violated her legal rights. We were very safe until
we were found and the abuse to my daughter started all over again.
“While we were away, the father, sought full custody
of my daughter. This would provide him a guarantee of my daughter not being
protected and insure him of not going to jail for sexually abusing her. At the
trial the Guardian/Attorney ad litem failed to call one witness, further
violating my daughter’s legal right to “Due Process of Law and Access to the
Courts”. The ad litem waived a jury and did not present any of the witnesses
from TDHS who would have testified that they believed my daughter was sexually
abused by her biological father and his wife and further that my daughter was
not coached by her mother nor anyone to say this. No caseworkers from TDHS,
not Lorie Anderson, nor others were called to testify. Essentially, the father
obtained a default judgment and was awarded custody unlawfully. This should
have never happened with a child’s life. This act by the Judge, attorney ad
litem violated many legal rights of my daughter and me.
“The case in Dallas was fully adjudicated when the
judge found it necessary to protect my daughter from her father. The full examination
of the evidence of abuse was not and has never been conducted in McKinney Courts
in Collin County due to corruption. However, the judge entered findings of
fact and conclusions of law, which stated that there was no evidence of alleged
sexual abuse to my daughter. The judge, who had presided over previous hearings
in this matter prior to this trial, knew that his ‘findings of fact’ were –
in fact false. This is a direct violation of my daughter’s and my civil rights.
We enjoyed no “Due Process of Law” and “Access to the Courts”. Justice was
raped, and the victim was legally taken away from her protector and returned
to her alleged abusers.
“When he was a criminal judge, the Honorable Federal
Judge Joe Kendall – in court and on the record – vouched for my honesty, integrity,
and truthfulness. Judge Kendall has known me since elementary school, and he
knows me to be honest and sincere. Sondra Sonders, the minister of children’s
ministry at Prestonwood Baptist Church, has testified as to my honesty, integrity,
devotion to my daughter, and Brenda Saldi, wife of former Dallas Cowboy Jay
Saldi, has presented similar testimony. Exhibits C, Joe Morris, who
administered my polygraph test, verified my honest responses to his questions,
and Dr. Peek and Dr. Carroll Wheeler Liston testified about my sincerity and
my ability to provide my daughter with a secure and loving home. I own a Christian
school in the Dominican Republic, and many of the parents of the students are
available to testify about my character. Under my direction, the school’s staff
teaches the children Biblical principles in addition to academics. The children
are nurtured, loved, and provided an excellent education in a safe environment.
“The Collin Court Judge, the D.A.’s office and the
relatives of my daughter convinced officials to seek out the FBI to locate my
daughter and me. When we were located in November of 1990, my daughter was
released to her alleged abusers, despite her repeated and frantic explanations
to Arizona Human Services workers that her father and his wife sexually molested
her. Her pleas fell on deaf ears.
“I was imprisoned upon my return to Texas. Judge
White ordered my incarceration on the grounds that I had violated his visitation
order. Since I was in prison, I was unable to appeal his unlawful orders within
the thirty-day appeal time limit. Judge White cooperated with the other side
and Collin County DA when Collin County indicted me for the same offense. By
doing so, they placed me in ‘double jeopardy,’ trying me twice for the same
offense; this is a clear and direct violation of both the United States and
Texas Constitutions. Without regard to state or federal law, I was indicted
and prosecuted. I was found not guilty. The jury believed there was a great
possibility that the father sexually abused my daughter and that I had a legal
right to protect her from her alleged abusers, Exhibit H. The State
had ordered me to protect my daughter or risk losing her; all I had done was
attempt to follow those orders.
“The ‘not guilty’ verdict was a minor victory.
I was a free woman, but they had taken my daughter away. As soon as I was released
from jail I filed court documents to get my daughter back, but to no avail.
The other side still controlled the courts. My daughter and I were denied
a normal relationship. The courts together with the other side only gave my
daughter and me continued abuse, trauma and torture.
“On December 14, 1991, when other children were
looking forward to hanging their stockings and waiting for Santa Claus to show
up with their gifts, my daughter’s Christmas was shattered by her own personal
Grinch; her father. Another abuse referral was made by Dr. Turner at Dallas
Medical City Hospital. On January 14, 1992, Dr. Turner, Dr. Debbie Hockett
(a child psychiatrist) and Dr. Carol Wheeler Liston (a child psychologist) testified
that my daughter needed medical evaluation and counseling. No experts testified
in opposition to this request. In fact, the father, was the only voice of opposition.
A Collin County TDHS caseworker testified that my daughter needed counseling
and that her father, may have inappropriately touched his daughter. Judge
White, the same corrupt judge who granted the father, unsupervised visitation
and presided over the default judgment heard the testimony but denied the request
for counseling.
“Judge White and other corrupt officials in the
Texas judicial system have totally disregarded the credible testimony of medical
doctors and TDHS workers and have utterly failed to protect my daughter. These
corrupt officials are unconcerned with right and wrong; they care only about
ensuring their own political futures. They do what they are instructed by
powerful political influences regardless of whether or not those instructions
are illegal or immoral. TDHS is committing fraud now, covering up their own
failures and violations of laws designed to protect my daughter and other children
in her situation. TDHS did not protect my daughter; instead, the agency allowed
the influential other side to corrupt its workers and its policies. The other
side penetrated TDHS by leasing an office building to the agency at well below
market value. Once TDHS leased the building (in Dallas) and began officing
with the father and grandfather, the agency’s workers stopped taking any actions
to protect my daughter. Regina Patridge, in particular, benefited at my daughter’s
expense. Though she did not follow federal or state guidelines to protect my
daughter, she received internal increases in her salary and promotions just
after her first fraudulent move was made on behalf of the other side. She has
committed fraud again and again, and she is in no danger of punishment for it.
These people enjoy immunity from prosecution; they own the courts.
“It is and was against state and federal law for Judge White
to deny my daughter medical help as she needed then and she desperately needs
now. According to several medical experts and evidenced by my daughter’s testimony
in the judge’s chambers, my daughter was becoming suicidal in 1992. She was
six years old. Her father DENIED therapy, medical and/or counseling to my daughter,
further violating her legal rights and mine. You see, he knew that if my daughter
underwent therapy, it would result in more evidence of his sexual mistreatment
of her. With the help of my attorney, I filed a comprehensive document with
the Texas Supreme Court, pleading for help for my daughter. This document was
nearly a foot thick, contained substantial evidence of my daughter’s molestation
and abuse; it also detailed the laws violated by the judge. The powerful Salesmanship
Club of Dallas, of which the grandfather, was once the Chairman, exercised its
considerable influence at every opportunity. (The Salesmanship club of Dallas
has manifested itself into a political machine-almost everyone that this organization’s
members support politically wins elections.) The Supreme Court judges refused
to hear the case stating I had other remedies existing to correct the miscarriage
of justice.
“Please refer Exhibit G for the trial testimony of several doctors testifying
my daughter needed treatment and an evaluation from a qualified psychotherapist.
“Judge White: After hearing the motion for the
appointment of a psychotherapist, the Court finds that it is not in the best
interest of the child at this time and the motion for the appointment of a psychotherapist
is denied. I’m not comfortable with relaxing the restriction of the Managing
Conservator to obtain family counseling at this point, either. The injunction
shall remain in place preventing the child from counseling. If, ask, and when
the Managing Conservator feels like it would be in her best interest for that
to occur, I will invite him to make such a motion to the Court. I think that
this little girl is – if allowed to this, little girl is going to grow up to
be a very fine person. If she is the object of continued wars, it would take
a Herculean effort on her part to grow up to be normal, and we’ll stand down
in this matter.
“A JUDGE CAN NOT DENY AN ALLEDGED ABUSED CHILD MEDICAL
HELP, IT IS AGAINST THE LAW. DENYING A CHILD MEDICAL HELP VIOLATES THE SOCIAL
SECURITY ACT AND THE CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT ACT OF 1977.
“The grandfather had about 60 million dollars in
assets and is alleged to have been spreading it around to silence the alleged
sexual abuse to my daughter by his son and the wife. He’s involved in the good
ole boy system that knows the political movers and shakers. Two and a half
years elapsed while I fruitlessly tried to protect my daughter through the court
system. Her alleged abuser, her father, refused my daughter medical help
and threatened my daughter’s mental and physical health more. Realizing that
I could not fight this corrupt system alone and fearful for my daughter’s life,
I was left with no choice but to take desperate action. On June 13, 1993, my
daughter and I left Texas and moved to the Dominican Republic to protect my
daughter from further abuse from her father, etal. We were both very happy
there, and each day, through the grace of God, I watched my daughter heal and
grow. Her gentle and loving smile meant everything to me. Together we established
a Christian school, which is in existence today. My daughter became an A Honors
student and excelled in many things. Once again, while in my care, she experienced
what love is all about. We would love to sing together since she was just a
baby and she developed a beautiful singing voice.
“Most of my life, I have answered to my name with
pride. There was a time in my life, however, when I was unable to bear that
name, when I was forced to leave my mother, family and friends behind and live
under an assumed name in the Dominican Republic, praying every day that my true
identity would remain undetected, that my daughter, my step son, my former husband
and I would be safe. For two and a half years, my prayers were answered. And
then, on February 7, 1996, our fragile happiness was destroyed. FBI agents,
armed with fraudulent papers provided to them by the alleged perpetrators, corrupt
judges and other corrupt officials shattered our happiness and ripped us away
from each other, dragging us aboard an American Airlines flight in violation
of numerous international laws. (The FBI has stated since that they did not
know the orders were fraudulent and I believe them.) American Airlines unlawfully
boarded us on a flight along with the FBI and illegal documents from the United
States in their hands. My daughter and my stepson were in tears, I was in shackles.
I have unlawfully been prevented from embracing my daughter since that dreadful
day. They chained me in front of my daughter and my stepson as a criminal.
They ripped us away from each other. We have not been allowed by court orders
to touch, enjoy the love and affection that is only natural between mother,
daughter and son. I miss them more than I can ever hope to explain.
“When we arrived in the U.S., I was incarcerated
in the Denton County jail. I made reasonable bond of approximately $3,700 and
was released. But the Denton County DA and Judge issued another warrant for
my arrest on the same charge and placed an excessive bond of $100,000, upon
the other side’s request and changed government legal documents, for the appearance
that the lower bond was a mistake. I was out of jail immediately, and re-arrested
several hours later on the same charge. They were able to keep me locked up
long enough to prevent me from appealing the unlawful orders against my daughter
and me within the 30-day appeal time limit. According to the Eighth Amendment
of the Constitution, it is illegal to impose excessive bail on a person after
an arrest; to inflict torture after an arrest; or to impose an extremely long
jail sentence on a person for a minor criminal violation.
“I met with the Justice Department in Washington
DC February 23, and 24th. They are clearly aware of this problem
that victimizes women and children throughout the nation.
“I have only been allowed to speak to my daughter
on the telephone one time since February 7th, 1996. This call came
unexpectedly because he had refused all of my requests to see or speak to my
daughter. This call came unexpectedly on mother’s day, During the call, my
daughter confirmed the abuse perpetrated by her father and his wife. This phone
call was taped recorded and it is available for your review. I saw my daughter
in a public place, July of 1998 and the father tried to put me in jail.
“I asked the father if we could meet and work everything
out. He told me to call him at his office. I called as he instructed me to,
but his secretary told me his attorney told him he could not
speak to me. The father further filed more fraudulent
documents in Denton County with another Judge. He did not tell the truth on
the witness stand, which is a common occurrence for him. We had evidence to
the contrary. The judge cared nothing about justice, the truth or my daughter’s
best interest. The judge only wanted the father’s political support for future
elections. After issuing unlawful orders preventing any communication between
my daughter and me, the judge recused himself. Then the other side filed motions
in Denton County, Texas to have me put in jail for contempt of court just because
I saw my daughter in a public place and we kissed and hugged and exchanged I
love you’s and talked for about ten minutes. I’m certain he was afraid my daughter
was going to find out the truth about his malicious lies. I don’t think I’ve
ever witnessed someone as evil and cruel.
“Power, it seems, is more important in the state
of Texas with some corrupt judges than the law, to them it is more important
than the truth, or what is right. What has happened to me and my daughter is
a miscarriage of justice of monumental proportions.
“I have twice been acquitted for leaving the state
of Texas with my daughter refusing visitation to her abusive father. A jury
of twelve, a Dallas County Judge, and the Texas Department of Human Services
had reason to believe that her father sexually abused my daughter, his own daughter.
“The Judicial Review Board Committee has done nothing
to reprimand these people. I’ve complained to the state several times, it’s
the good ole boy system, they obstruct justice for other fellow judges. There
are other organizations that should be investigating the fraud committed in
this case and taking steps to punish it, but they are doing nothing. Why?
Because the other side has masterfully used the “good old boy” network on their
behalf, on behalf of the alleged abusers, the alleged molesters, the alleged
criminals.
“The grandfather is connected with some of the most
powerful men and organizations in Dallas and in Texas. He is closely affiliated
with the Byron Nelson Golf Tournament through the main organization that supports
it in Dallas. He is a member of the Dallas Country Club, Preston Trails Country
Club, Koon (sic) Kreek (sic) Klub (sic) (see D Magazine, June 1977, for more
details explaining this powerful club). Ironically, he is also a member an/or
board member of many other organizations designed to help children. This is
his way of buying power.
“I love my daughter with every beat of her heart
and every breath she takes. My daughter and I have suffered considerable emotional
pain because of the influential other side, the legal system, TDHS and other
agencies, which have failed to protect my sexually, mentally, physically and
emotionally abused child, committing what I consider fraud and perjury in the
process. My first response was temporarily effective in arranging a healthier
life for my daughter. We left the country and the system. But the system denied
my daughter a healthier life; we were discovered and unlawfully, forcibly returned
to Texas.
“I’m not intending to degrade the father for what
he has done. The father has perpetrated a multitude of lies, malice, fraud,
and abuse against my daughter and me. When he and I were still together, he
tried to convince me to place substantial financial assets in my name to defraud
the woman he was divorcing, Susan Little Connell and the IRS. Much to his displeasure,
I refused. I have in my possession documents proving that he has cheated the
IRS and others out of significant sums. He and some of his business and legal
associates have defrauded Susan Connell, by changing partnership agreements,
unlawfully altering legal documents post hoc, etc… Later I learned that
his father had cheated me out of several commercial real estate commissions.
The father has fraudulently filed for bankruptcy and falsified his income to
the court in order to reduce his child support obligations. He has committed
perjury many times when called to account for his actions. His father’s financial
and political allies insure he avoids responsibility for his misdeeds. I also
incurred the wrath of the father two older daughters when I attempted to limit
their sexual acting out with friends. They therefore cast me in the role of
the “wicked step mother” though I wanted the best for them while their father
seemed uninterested.
“Many children are victims of corrupt courts and
an uncaring system, and the lost innocence of these children should ring out
like a battle cry throughout Texas, the United States, and the world. These
children – my child! -- needs help. Judicial elections in the state of Texas
attract the least attention of any race on the ballot. Presently, not one voter
in a thousand can name one justice on the Texas Supreme Court, and fewer still
can name a single judge on the Court of Appeals. If the public doesn’t care
who gets elected, power merchants will continue to stack the deck with judges
who lack integrity and quality.
“THE UNLAWFUL ACTIONS OF THESE JUDGES, IN COOPERATION
WITH THEIR LONG-TIME POLITICAL AND FINANCIAL SUPPORTERS, MUST BE MADE PUBLIC,
WITH APPROPRIATE PUNISHMENT FOR ALL THOSE INVOLVED. IMMEDIATE STEPS should
BE TAKEN TO RECTIFY THESE GROSS INJUSTICES AND SEVERE BREACHES OF LEGAL ETHICS
WITH CORRESPONDING STEPS TO RESTORE your NATURAL, LEGAL, AND JUST RIGHTS AS
the MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.
“The father moved to Denton County because he knew
he would find willing allies in the corrupt courts there. The Denton County
District Attorney, his office staff, and Judge Narsutis, aided the father, by
illegally raising my bail in order to prevent me from appealing rulings related
to my daughter’s case. In addition, they attempted to conceal evidence of my
daughter’s alleged sexual abuse by efforts to “fix” evaluation results of my
daughter.
“They refused to allow my daughter access to any
reputable doctor or child psychiatric practitioner at Children’s Medical Hospital
of Dallas and/or the hospitals in Denton. I was willing to accept any medically
competent practitioner, but this was still not acceptable by the father or the
DA or his office. The DA and his staff wanted to use Ann Friemel, a woman with
a home economics degree and some experience with abuse cases, to perform evaluations
and psychotherapy on my daughter. I believe Ann Friemel to be at least unqualified
and perhaps to be a “hired gun” a term used in legal circles to denote an “expert”
governed by a desire for remuneration rather than loyalty to the truth. In
other words, these “experts” sell their opinions to the parties who hire them
regardless of what they know to be right.
“Efforts to impeach or otherwise replace elected
officials and government employees who have violated laws intended to protect
children should be enforced. Many judges are “obstructing justice”. This is
a crime. They are violating laws established to protect children and their protective
parents. These judges manipulate the public by placing the protective parent
in jail, wrongfully tainting the reputation of the protective parent, as we
generally relate going to jail with doing something wrong. Some judges have
violated laws during trials. Such infractions have been evidenced on televised
cases shown on national television. The average person does not know the law,
therefore the average person does not realize the judge is violating a law,
or do they realize the judge should be answering for his/her crime as a criminal
before another judicial
body. Many judges should be answering for their
unlawful actions in criminal and federal court
and not sitting in the position of honor as a judge.
Their ongoing crimes against children and their protective parents are horrendous.
Their crimes are worse than a thief or a murderer. “Some judges, district
attorneys, police officers, constables, other law enforcement and court appointed
so called “expert witnesses” are presenting the nation with big problems due
to the level of corruption and bribes being taken by these so called “justice
seekers”.
“Randall Reed , committed fraud in 1989, by representing
to all involved that the Judge had signed a transfer order moving the case from
Dallas County to Collin County. This was not true. The truth was not revealed
until February of 1997, when -- through investigations and testimony of Judge
Bob O’Donnell stated no transfer order had been signed. Due to this fraudulent
transfer, Collin County judges never had legal jurisdiction… and they knew it.
That did not stop them from making rulings and orders in this case, even though
they had no legal authority to do so. They went further, falsely imprisoning
me on unlawful orders in the hope that it would beat me down emotionally and
prevent me from protecting my daughter. Moreover, they continued to falsify
additional documents, covering up my daughter’s alleged sexual abuse and shielding
her alleged abusers behind a screen of false legal documents bearing the seal
of the State of Texas. They were protecting the alleged perpetrators of the
abuse to my daughter. The transfer to Collin County was illegally made. The
corruption had begun.
“I have a critical hearing coming up in the Dallas
Appeals Court because the corrupt Judge White unlawfully denied my motion,
a “Bill of Review”, filed October 31, 1997. He delayed hearing it almost a
year and heard October 8, 1998. This hearing was absolutely crucial, since
Collin County never had authority in my daughter’s case, this hearing should
have returned my daughter to my custody. The appeal hearing was heard March
16th, 2001. A decision has not been made. Corrupt judges delay
hearings intentionally so that criminal prosecution of state employees will
run over the statute of limitations and the perpetrators cannot be held criminally
responsible.
“I am very thankful for my beloved daughter. I
pray for her daily. We are trapped by a corrupt legal system that has denied
us justice and sanctioned our torture. I need help to put an end to the corruption.
This cry, is a call to action that I hope someone responds to.
“The last legal order made in Dallas County in July
of 1989 found that my daughter needed protection from her father. Judge Sheehan
vacated the father’s visitation privileges and left my daughter safely in my
care and custody as sole managing conservator. Judge Koon and his Master in
Dallas County should be recused from this case due to their failure to protect
my daughter from the very beginning. According to the law, my daughter should
have been provided with an attorney ad litem to represent her best interests
as soon as reports of alleged sexual abuse by her father and his girlfriend
surfaced, but neither Koon nor his Master followed correct legal procedure.
“This case should be heard by a Dallas County judge who is not subject to a
conflict of interest with the men’s organization The Salesmanship Club of Dallas,
the Dallas Police Department, the other side, or their attorneys.
“This case has absolutely no business being adjudicated
in Denton County. In addition, every Denton County judge has a conflict of
interest with the Denton County DAs Office. The DA and
his staff has unlawfully influenced the judges to
rule against me in previous hearings. They
unlawfully indicted me based on false documentation generated in Collin County.
“The other side have attempted to silence my daughter
but her silence will not last forever. My daughter should have never been taken
away from me. I have proven to be an excellent, loving mother whom God entrusted
to assure my daughter’s safety and welfare. I love her very much. She should
be returned to me immediately.
“Though I have pleaded with the other side to return
my daughter to me, they only laughed and told me to take it up in court. I
am taking it up in court, and I will fight for my daughter with all of my energy
and all of my resources, but I need assistance to insure that justice prevails.
“We have found a formula that these alleged perpetrators,
corrupt judges and other corrupt officials use: As soon as a mom tries to protect
her child or children from sexual abuse, the perpetrator will start paying off
corrupt government officials, court appointed experts, to state the mother
is crazy and has a delusional mental disorder-believing something was manufactured
in the mother’s mind and then the mother made the child believe it happened
to them, is a famous attack, not always used, then they say the mother is vindictive
and coached the child to say the statements regarding the sexual abuse. Once
a child abuser is identified they are going to jail unless they can buy a corrupt
judge and/or other officials. The corrupt judge will take custody away from
the mother and give custody of the child to the very person who sexually molested
the child. Sometimes the cases get messier if the mother stands strong on behalf
of her child. The judge does everything possible to emotionally cripple the
mother, so she can no longer do anything to protect her child. Sometimes they
go to extremes by getting corrupt media to write slanderous articles of lies
to only attempt to make the perpetrator appear honorable.
“Taking a child away from a protective mother is
basically a direct attack on women. What do you think the most cruel action
is that can be perpetrated against a mother? It is to take her child or children
away. It is emotionally crippling.
“Clearly other violations by the courts and other officials exist, but as you
can read,, they are too numerous to mention for a notice such as this.
“FURTHER, Affiant sayeth not.”
