   That is a growing problem. It also shows up in custody fights... one

   sabotaging any chance of a fair custody hearing.
Being intelligent is not a felony
But most societies evaluate it
as being at least a misdemeanour

assistant: Hello Dear Friend;
   It has been sometime since we last communicated. I guess that is my fault,
as i should have called you, or written or something and did not. Bet you
forgot about me ah?
    So, how are things going in that neck of the woods. Are you guys back in
Michigan yet, or still in was it California. I am not sure where you were
going through all this court stuff.
     So, all is well here. Carrie and I Got married on July 10, 95. so that
was the highlight or our summer. We still get along, very well, and i am
still being a good boy, and stay away from the dope.
     All is going well with your children I would think ah? All of them aree
once again back to gether by now, and hopefully you guys are once again,
living as a family, with little intervertion from others...
     So, I thought when I was reading the this message base, and saw your
name, that I was not able to go past without saying hello...and have you seen
Linda in the recent past...If so, how is she, and tell her I say hello, and
that I love her...If not, what is her Address, so I am able to send to her
also.
     Please do have a very good and loving Christmas, and a better New Year.
I still hope to meet you guys sometime, and that we will all be able to hug
and be as good friends as we have to this point...Give all memebers of your
family my Love...
                                             I love you Val...

assistant: If Elizabeth McCrary were to take the advice you have published, you, and
perhaps the medium of publication, would be in jeopardy of being an accessory
to a premeditated crime. The FidoNet LAW Echo disclaims the above-quoted
advice of Greg McNeil.
I urge Ms. McCrary to seek the assistance of local authorities in ensuring
her safety.
(foregoing in my capacity as Moderator)
However, in my personal opinion, Ms. McCrary should also consider that
violence between herself and the child's father may be situational, and may
not justify depriving the child of knowledge of its father, or even a
relationship with him, should mental health professionals, detached from Ms.
McCrary's expressed viewpoints, determine that the *child* is not endangered.
We have nothing to go on except Ms. McCrary's statement. It is possible that
the father is unfit for relationship with the child. It is also possible that
there is a quite different side to the story. I have, professioinally during
the past decade, encountered a substantial number of domestic relations
situations in which women have made false allegations of abuse in order to
gain litigative advantage. The "system" tends to buy their stories
uncritically. And then we have those who not only buy the story but who
blindly advocate such extreme measures as does Mr. McNeil.
If Ms. McCrary's statement about being abused is true (and her "having put
him in prison", given the imperfection of our justice system, is not absolute
proof of that), she needs to assure her own safety, and determine from a
mental health professional whether the child's safety requires complete
isolation. Children isolated from one parent, regardless of the reason,
sometimes idealize that absent parent, and/or have unresolved mental problems
related to the isolation which extend into adulthood.

assistant: I may have erred by way of omission in my previous commentary.  Please
allow me to append this brief clarification.
The Commonwealth Attorney did not specifically mention the more
bizarre aspects of the multiple cases I had referenced in my
commentary.  This was added by way of my own digression.
I reasonably derive that the Commonwealth Attorney, a capable and
competent individual, derives his understanding of these cases from
but casual reading of same in professional journals, and that he
would, in all likelihood, reject them as unreasonable in the event
that he were faced with such "evidence" in his professional capacity.
I did not mean to suggest otherwise, and realize that I may have taken
the turn a bit too quickly, leaving some with that impression.

Get Affidavidits of Character from your friends, co-workers, and clergy.
You can take them to the Clerk's office and request that they be attached
to your file.  Once they are attached to your file the judge is mandated
BY LAW to read them.  The Affadavidits of Character can not be "thrown out
of court" nor do they have to be entered into court as "evidence".  You
can take these steps without the assistance of your attorney.  Another
advantage to this is that it allows yours friends and co-worker to
"testify" for you without having to be subjected to a cross-examination
by the prosecution.  It is strictly a one-sided view, in YOUR favor!

assistant: Remember to help your attorney.
The more you do for your attorney, the better armed your attorney will be,
and the easier it will be to win.  When parents take an active role in
their own defense their chances of winning are greatly increased.  Don't
just pay the attorney and then expect the attorney to do the rest.  Your
attorney can not paddle your life boat for you unless you inflate it first.
Help your attorney defend you.  Do your own research, ask questions, and
keep your attorney informed.  Keep a log of everything concerning your
case (phone calls, research, etc.).  Find cases similar to your own that
have been won, make copies of your findings, and give a copy to your
attorney.  Make it easier for your attorney to defend you by preparing
your attorney well.

assistant: Check your court records.
Go through every court report and document and look for mistakes and lies.
It isn't surprising to find that even simple things (i.e., names and
birthdates) are wrong.  Document each error and give your attorney a copy.
This shows incompetancy on the part of the social worker and can establish
a pattern of errors which may be used in other court actions later on.
Look for opinions that are presented as facts. For example: "The child was
not unhappy, indicating that he did not wish to return home."  This is an
opinion.  The social worker has no idea how your child acts when he/she is
happy, sad, scared, confused, lonely, angry, tired, etc...  The social
workers opinion DOES NOT prove that the child does not want to come home,
but to the judge it sounds like the social worker is saying "The child is
happy at the foster home and does not want to go home."  Who do you think
the judge will side with if this is not clarified?  (Not with you!)
Document all opinions that are presented as facts.  Give your attorney a
copy and ask for this to be clarified in court.  It might be enough to tip
the scales in your favor and CPS will have some explaining to do in court!

assistant: Know Your Rights!
The Bill of Rights, part of the United States Constitution, is the law of
the land.  Unfortunately, we the people, often forget what our rights are.
We have, through our own ignorance, allowed "the system" to strip us of our
rights and we never even raised a voice in protest.  How did it happen?  It
happened one little step at a time, year after year, until the system is as
it stands today.  We can reverse this trend by demanding that our rights be
adhered to.  We can challenge state laws, the rulings of the courts and
even "county policies" that have been declared law.  We the people have a
duty to change the system when it no longer works.  These are not idle
words, they are the American dreams and ideals we grew up believing in.  We
can not rely on others to protect our rights, we must do it ourselves and
we must do it together.  We owe it to ourselves, our children, and to
America.  Learn your Constitution.  Keep a list of the rights that were
violated throughout the course of your case.  You can use this information
in civil law suits if you wish to proceed in that manner later on.

assistant: If you are an activist working to end child abuse hysteria or false
allegations of child abuse, the social work licensing board or psychology
licensing board in your state may be keeping a file on your political
activities.  Recently I was reviewing files at the Arkansas Board of
Examiners in Psychology that were provided in response to an FOIA request.  I
was comparing a list of "therapists" who billed the Crime Victims Assistance
Fund for providing therapy to alleged child abuse crime victims against the
files of licensed psychologists.  While reviewing the files containing
complaints filed against individuals on my list, I was given the file
contining a complaint I had filed.  Inside the file folder was information
that had been collected on MY political activity in opposition to false
allegations of child abuse, the local Department of Human Services and the
local Brown Blouses called SCAN.  It apparently played a role in their
decision to dismiss my complaint without a hearing.  Some of it was circled
with a red magic marker.  YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK TO SEE IF YOU HAVE BEEN THE
VICTIM OF SIMILAR POLITICAL MONITORING BY YOUR STATE LICENSING BOARDS.  Their
is apparently no depth to which these sewer fish will not sink.
