assistant: Don,
I would be interested in a copy (I presume it contains the entire
strategy therein).  We have just been put in contact with a group of
parents elsewhere who are suffering from a witch-hunt that seems to be
ever-growing and which needs to be headed off.
(To tell the truth, from the first reports I heard I tended to believe
the abuse was happening, especially after some parents copped a plea,
but it was only later after making contact through friends of friends
of... that we learned the whole story, not reported in the media.)

Here is more information for you about the recent Congressional hearings
into repeal or reform of CAPTA, The Mondale Act, which caused the states
to totally immunize social workers from liability in cases of false
accusations of abuse. Since the enactment of this immunity, false
accusations of abuse have flourished.
Following is the written testimony of Dr. Richard Gardner, noted expert in
the field of child abuse, during hearings on H.R. 3588, which would repeal
the Mondale Act. It comes via F.R.E.E. member Ferrel, who got it from
Dr. Gardner's office. My thanks to him for his efforts.

assistant: We may have to-since we can't get him to return our calls-What gets me
is that he wants more money-but he hasn't fulfilled the original contract
that he agreed to.  That one stated that he would take the case all the
way through a trial by jury.  He hasn't.
No, he hasn't been-and we didn't know anything about that.  When we finally
contact the lawyer, we're going to request that he give us a copy of all
of the files concerning our case-and if he refuses, we'll take it to the
state Bar association.
Your friends are lucky if they've found a state rep who'll help.  We've
been in touch with Kay Bailey Hutchinson's office and while they helped
us get some information, that was about it.  We also contacted one of
our STATE senators-but the trouble with both of them in this area is that
they are female and on a politically correct crusade regarding child abuse
offenders.  One of them came out in public about how terrible deferred
adjudication was in these cases, and the other wants to put an "S" on the
driver's license of anyone convicted of sexual abuse of a child.  God,
I love out P.C. society.  Don't you?

Sorry, but my information doesn't show anything in Toledo. I do have
listings for Akron, Columbus and Richwood, if that would be of any help.
Let me know.
The National VOCAL Hotline number is 1-800-745-8778. Donna Smith generally
answers the phone and she is located in Denver, Colorado. (Gee, and I've
been using the toll number instead of the TOLL FREE number. <G> )

Write your reply.

assistant: I hope the trial goes well. In the long run, maybe it's better that there was
no opportunity to accept the plea bargain. I hope so, for your sake and the
sake of your family.
Did you have a written contract with the attorney? I hope so. If you did,
read the contract and see if it indicates that more money would be needed
if it went to trial. Although if this attorney hasn't really done everything
that he said he would, then perhaps a different attorney would be a good
idea. As for the medical "proof", I highly doubt it otherwise Frank would
be behind bars right now. What they probably have is a doctor's opinion that
"maybe" something "could" have happened, but not necessarily that it did.
I hope everything goes well and I will keep you and your family in my
prayers. We go to court on the 16th for the trial against the boys, and I'm
scared too, so YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Take care.

assistant: Joe Sager was over heard talking to
            Nancy Eddy regarding Your Husbands Case
While I have no problem with removing deferred adjudication for
sex offenders (if they actually have committed the crime) as long
as the evidence is substantial, such as DNA or some other
physical evidence that proves guilt beyond a doubt. Just one
person word over anothers is not proof enough. I'm not sure how I
would feel about the "S" on a drivers license. Either way after a
substantial period of time in which a convicted offender has
proven himself no longer a threat, he should no longer have to
register as a convict offender and should be forgiven of his
"sins". I know that's not P.C. but that's life.
Tell your husband good luck. If he's truly innocent he should
never plead to a lesser charge. My family will be keeping you in
our prayers. Keep us informed.

politically and am planning to set up a chapter of VOCAL here in Okla.
I have MAGNA CARTA NEWS SERVICE bbs and am the moderator of an echo
called "Rights_Rongs" on the Fido National Backbone where I would also
like the particiapation of yourself and others who can help bring such
stories as yours to the people of Oklahoma so that they can beging to
understand what is going on. Here in Oklahoma, our DHS seems to be
starting to wage their witch-hunt wars against the large Hispanic
community we have here. I am going to work hard to bring the DHS
to the Legislative arena where we can present legislation to limit
their powers to "kill off" our families and their powers to abuse
children and families. It will be a hard fight, but they have not
yet run into anyone who will fight as hard as I do.
It is only by working for public awareness of the problems that
exist in this area that we can hope to make a dent in the status
quo.
