assistant: Today the Judge made a decision on the Duarte case...against impossible
odds, Elena Duarte and Adrian Chavez won!  Not only did the Judge return
Adrian to his mother, but the Judge completely dismissed ALL petitions
and charges against the mother.  I don't know the exact details as yet,
but I do know this...Children's Protective Services was told that not
only did they NOT have a case, but they NEVER should have taken Adrian
away from his mother in the first place!!!
I can't wait to see the paper tomorrow and get more of the details.
For a parent to win at this stage, in this county, is almost an
impossibility.  I am so thankful to her present Public Defender,
Christopher Bowen.  Not only did he bring Elena's little boy home,
but he was also a major contibutor in bringing home a little girl
that is very near and dear to my heart.

assistant: Dear Friends,
     I wrote some time ago expressing my distress with the system,
my new husband's ex-wife, DCFS, and the courts.  Well, since last
spring, we have been awarded supervised visits (at our request, for
our protection) and yesterday my husband recieved two not guilty
verdicts on two Criminal Sexual Assualt charges brought against him
by the former babysitter and her friend, (whom incidentally are now
good friends with the ex, and are also being allowed to babysit my
three stepchildren.) Needless to say, she (the ex-wife) was allowed
to testify against Steven after the DCFS case worker told her that
without a conviction her accusations of sexual abuse to the children would
not have any weight. She immediately visited the States Attorney. (Huh)
The law states (Jennifer's paraphrase) that a spouse cannot be allowed to
testify against the other unless it is testimony specifically pertaining to
a crime commited against them by the spouse, property of theirs, or
children in their care, custody or control. The babysitter and her friend
were informed that they could leave, chose not to (which was not rare,
considering her mother would soon return drunk to beat her as had often
occured in the past).
     Well, to make a long story short, we still have an appeal to go
thru on the lessor included offenses, but the prosecutor practically
handed it to us on a silver platter when he asked Steven on the stand
if he had any control whatsoever over the girls.  Of course he didn't,
therefore the allowance of his Ex-wife's testimony should not have been
allowed. Amen!!!
    Finally I will close by saying it is only by God's grace, and
aithfulness
that my husband is a free man. You can't depend on the alleged justice system
to prove innocence. It's a game. Politics. Trust and rely on the only one
sure thing in life- our Creator.
                                         Thank you for your support,
                                             Jennifer Wright

"Child Maltreatment 1993: Reports From the States to the National Center on
Child Abuse and Neglect" list statistics on all 50 states regarding reports
of child abuse. The report breaks down reports into founded and unfounded,
by type of abuse, by accuser, by age of victim, etc. etc.
For example, in 1993 (there is a report for each year) Louisiana CPS received
46,170 reports of child abuse. 15,253 of the reports were substantiated, and
30,917 were NOT substantiated - 67% False Allegations! Of the reports 3,588
were
for physical abuse, 10,034 neglect, 1,160 sexual abuse, 404 emotional
maltreatment,
and 86 other. Age of alledged victim: <1=1,322; 1=1,012; 2=1,052; 3=995;
4=992;
5=914; 6=880; 7=911; 8=871; 9=820; etc.
7,159 were male, 8,075 were female, and 19 were unknown (??). 2,206 victims
were
removed from the home. Perpetrators are listed as 10,487=parents;
412=non-caretaker;
16=child care providers; 44=foster parents.
While the above data does not address how many accusations resulted in a jail
term.
It does illustrate the number of accusations. I'm amazed at the number of
false
allegations: 30,917 = 67%. I know there are more 30,917 false allegations,
because
some allegations that CPS validates are in-fact false allegations.

You are perhaps a neo-Nazi. As for a false accusations of SEXUAL abuse, Herr
Goering, there are numerous messages ``off-topic' in this echo for
I read commentary of FALSE accusations other than sexual.

No. It is the Jews who are anti-Semitic, and it was they who lied in court.

assistant: Thank you, Valery!  I realize that in many ways it's not a small mile-
stone, but there is *so* much still to do, and it's going to take years
yet.  But last night we saw pictures of the meeting, for the first
time.  Wow.
Our second daughter was a miracle.  Kathy became pregnant while we were
still under supervision (before we lost at the state supreme court and
were sent to prison).  We had long since known that if the State knew,
they'd arrange to take the baby away at birth.  (This did in fact happen
to another couple within days of Heather's birth -- the father was
accused, not convicted, but the mother insisted he was innocent, so they
took the newborn from the delivery room!)  The next few months were a
bit difficult, trying to keep Kath out of sight from the state (we almost
blew it at a Scottish folk concert) and ensuring there were no records in
the county to tip off the system.  Our attorney drew up two sets of
adoption papers; one for before the birth and the second after (how many
people have their attorney present for the birth?).  The birth was at
a friend's house in another county (now he knows a number of the
Wenatchee defendants).  And when the doctor gave the okay, four days
later, she left with her grandparents for South Carolina.
Washington state sent an assistant attorney general there, after they'd
learned, to try to fetch her back.  The judge threw him out of court.
It was several years before Beth could be told that she had a
younger sister.
But their visit was very good; the girls are attached to each other.
It's started questions from both the girls, but all is for the good.
Thank you, Valery!

child abuse.  I know about VOCAL (Victims of Child Abuse Laws), and although
they are primarily trying to help those accused of sex crimes, they are in
the category I seek.  May I know more about you?  I'm very new to the
Fidonet; in fact, this is my first attempt.  I'll seek a response here in the
next day or so.  I applaud your organization:  many (most?) times, the
accusation is tantamount to a conviction, because the accusation is taken as
"proof" of guilt.  Looking forward to hearing from you.

Write your reply.

assistant: From what I have gathered, VOCAL does not specialize in sex abuse cases,
rather they aid in cases of all varieties in which people have become Victims
Of Child Abuse Laws.
Here's a place to start.  The Colorado VOCAL is among the more active in the
country, and may be able to direct you toward a local chapter. 303-233-5321.
Get on their mailing list for little more than the cost of printing and
postage.
They also publish, at their cost, a 500 page "Professional Manual" for use
both by yourself and your attorney.  It has applicability in all 50 States. I
haven't seen it, but it is highly regarded in some circles. Cost is $50 plus
$6.00 postage.
They offer a "Due Process Manual" which promises a detailed explanation of
your due process rights, and a "Personal Manual" which promises "important
data and information to help you cope with the trauma of involvement with
child protection agencies," each at $20 plus $3.00 postage.
They also offer a video claiming to be a "high quality 25 minute educational
tool for politicians, system employees, and community meetings."  $12.00 with
postage included.
That they have gathered something of an endorcement from the original
director of the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect, (NCCAN), as well
as the ACLU does lend them quite some measure of credibility.  I'd suggest
forgetting whatever you may have heard about them, and calling for first-hand
information.

assistant: Here are some other places you might find information on FIDONET.
VOCAL is a conference moderated by Valery Frosty, and is authorized by George
Wimberly, current President of NASVO/VOCAL.
FMS, moderated by David Bloomberg, generally deals with the issues of "False
Memory Syndrome," but does often extend itself to include topics of a more
general nature as regards issues of false allegations of child abuse and
neglect, and of "ritual abuse" cases.
CHILD_ABUSE_ISSUES, moderated by Rick Thoma, offers something of a neutral
middle ground.  While not specifically oriented toward discussions of false
allegations, such conversations are regarded by the moderator as being within
the scope of the conference topic. Teachers, parents, social workers, legal
professionals, etc., are all encouraged to participate.
Two other conferences, PLEASE and CHILD_ABUSE, are also to be found. These
are geared primarily toward lending support to survivors of abuse. It is
suggested, out of courtesy, that "issue oriented" discussion is not entirely
appropriate in these two conferences.
