Subject: Re: "Beleive the Children" on Wenatchee
Matt Love reported to Witch Hunt an ariticle from the group "Believe the
Children"
  Preliminary tests on carpet and other
To Witch Hunters and the authors of "Believe the Children"  This statement is
not true. It was brought up in the trial of Honna Simms that the state crime
lab found no indication of bodily fluids of any sorts in the church. The
carpet in the church was used carpet taken from a motel and still no evidence
of bodily fluids.
     It is this kind of irresponsible reporting that is extremely detrimental
to justice being served. A major part of justice is public perception. When
"little" items like this are reported, obviously, public perception is
effected.
     In the Wenatchee "Sex Ring" cases, many people have pleaded guilty. The
public perception here is that there must be a "Sex Ring" because so many
people have pleaded guilty. Below is taken from Bill Swan's post of a week
ago.

assistant: Hi Rick,
I can see the program being designed so that all the social workers
work with all the judges and all the attorneys and all the police
officers that are in the field in question.  But what about this...
        Social Worker Jones ALWAYS works with Police Officer Brown (and
        Police Officer Brown is NOT trained in child abuse, but he's
        related to Social Worker Jones or he is a foster parent so he
        wants to help out the Social Services Department).
        Social Worker Jones ONLY goes before Judge Smith (who's wife
        just happens to be Social Worker Jones supervisor) or before
        Judge Green (who's cousin, a politician, got her appointed to
        the chair and after all, it's anti-political to go against the
        system).
So when I say they are TEAM players, I don't mean they are all playing
on the same team - as in the corporate office sense - but they are
forming their own little teams of the system against the people.

treats patients and he acts as a forensic evaluator, but never on the
same case, and he warns that coerced testimony is valueless in court
cases. Leading questions, he says, have a place in private therapy but
should never be used by forensic evaluators; if they are, the people
involved should receive a new trial. He warns, however, that it is
extraordinarily difficult to undo the damage that the coercive
therapists did in the first place.
   Arthur Miller did not write "The Crucible" out of historical
interest in witchcraft. He wrote it as a metaphor for McCarthyism. We
started out by saying that there were no villains in the Fells Acres
case originally, but there are now - the people in the judicial system
who are fighting against giving the Amiraults a new trial: Middlesex
District Attorney Thomas Reilly, who is appealing the new trial for
Violet Amirault and Cheryl LeFave, and Judge Dolan, the original judge
who has not ruled on a new trial for Gerald. Nor should we let
Attorney General Scott Harshbarger off the hook, Reilly's predecessor
during the first Fells Acres trial.
   After watching tonight's "20/20," there will be a number of people
who might ask of Harshbarger, Reilly and Dolan, "Have you no decency?
At long last, have you no sense of decency?"

assistant: This is true, Ken, but by the time most people are aware of what's
going on they're in too deep.  We have people who do just as you
recommend, if they're brought in to the case soon enough.  Linda
Montgomery Associates, a private investigator firm, has a very good
win ratio when they enter the case early.
A classic case was that of a woman near here who ran a daycare.
After literally caring for generations (some of her kids are the
children of children she cared for decades ago) one woman tried to
bring charges of child abuse.  This was quickly headed for another
McMartin, with the local media leading the charge, as usual, but
Linda got on board and found plenty of evidence to both disprove
the charges and to put a lot of suspicion on the accuser (this was
seven years ago, so much detail is forgotten right now).  In very
short order the whole thing was dropped.
We are aware (i.e. we are receiving reports) of a case right now
where efforts are being prepared to counter charges -- before the
charges have been made.  In this instance the people knew of our
case so that when the threat of charges was made it didn't take
them long at all to find our supporters to get advice and support.
In our area the conservative Christian community, at least, is
quite aware of Children's Predatory Services and the damage it can
wreak upon a family -- initially because of our case, but now
because others have also come to light.  What is needed is this
same awareness in the general population, but there we have along
way yet to go.
Until a good part of the population is aware that when CPS gets
involved in their life they need to swing in action immediately,
all there will be are ruinously expensive strategies to try to
pick up the pieces afterward.

on September 11, 1995.  -- Contra Costa County, California
===========================================================================
          SICK CHILD'S MOTHER WAS TREATED LIKE A CRIMINAL
A Sheriff's Deputy and Child Protective Service Worker took Adrian
Chavez from his mother and told her they were placing him in a foster
home.  Can you imagine the trauma to a very sick child taken from his
mother, put in the hands of strangers, then taken to the hospital where
it was questionable whether the mother would be allowed to see him?
The sobbing mother even kneeled to the police and said, "Please don't
take my child."  This is called child protection?  I call it cruel and
unwarrented punishment against a child.  In a totalitarian country one
might expcet things like this, but this is America.  How could we ever
have allowed these people to acquire such power?
Here is a mother with a leukemia-ridden child who the last six months
continued to have heavy doses of chemotherapy with no relief.  The
child's white blook cell count continued to rise.  The distraught
mother wanted to try something gentler, an herbal treatment, rather
than subject the child to more of the painful medical treatment.
For this Elena, his mother, was treated like a criminal.

One thing that can help too is: Directing the letters to the politicians
that represent anyone involved in a case.  For example, it took my
grandfather's congressman in Wisconsin (Dave Obey) to get some positive
action going on my case.  We sent out letters to all Senators and
Congressmen (even some Assemblymen) that represented ALL of our relatives
and friends of the family.  :)
I can also provide fax numbers for many of these politicians.

George the list is far from complete. There are very many serving
long prison terms who never made the headlines. There is a MR.
Grey locally who has been imprisoned for close to 20 years and is
up for release soon for sexually abusing his daughter.I have
talked to his now grown daughter and she cries and says she has
always wanted to tell the truth but in the first the DSS told her
she would be removed from her home and sent to a orphanage
Later she feared what her father would do when he was released.
She says if it was her in there for being falsely accused she
would kill the accuser on her release . So she fears her fathers
release.
There has to be many more like him
