Write your reply.

assistant: Your message talked about someone sho is not a victim working for
legitimate victims.  One of the reasons I am interested in those
falsely accused, besides the fact that someone close to me is now
serving time for a crime he didn't do, is that as a survivor of real
abuse, it really makes me angry when someone falsely accuses because
when those who lie about these things finally begin to get caught - and
sooner or later this problem will get it's share of the limelight too -
it will make those of us who are really victims of abuse seem like
liars too.  I don't appreciate that one bit.  I think when more
legitimate victims/survivors realize this some of us will start to
see that something must be done.  In my mind, BOTH extremes are wrong -
the extreme that allows children to be hurt and the extreme that causes
innocent people to be persecuted in a way that is reminiscent of the
witch hunts.

assistant: That definition of "expert" was often repeated while I was in the Army back
in the 70's.  I think it was originally "invented" by a Roman soldier. <G>
As for self help, yes there are at least two possible sources.  FMS (False
Memory Syndrome Foundation) and VOCAL (Victims of Child Abuse Legislation)
are national organizations which may have associations in your state.  FMS is
for adults with grown children who have "recovered memories" of being abused
as children and belatedly accused their parents of commiting that abuse.  The
FMS chapter in Arkansas is very good.  I have spoken at several of their
meetings.  VOCAL is pretty much for every one else falsely accused or those
interested in protecting themselves from being falsely accused.  They have
excellent information on legal issues and other relevant information.
There are several avenues for locating local chapters for either
organization.  (1) Check with your local library, most libraries maintain a
list of local organizations with contact information. (2) Check with your
state agency that handels incorporation, both organizations frequently
incorporate as nonprofit orgainzation. They must list a registered agent with
contact information to do so.
(3) Post a request for information on local BBS, someone will probably know
or know someone who knows.
Both organizations have national toll free numbers, but I do not have them
handy right now.  CAN SOMEONE ELSE PASS THEM ALONG?
Please let me know how thing go.  Good luck.
I know it can be frustrating.  Winston Churchill keeps me going, "Never,
never, never give up."

assistant: * While chatting with Karen Fliger, David Blocker was overheard saying:
This is a personal opinion, but I think this problem has developed because
members of a civil religious movement have gained virtual control of the
social work profession and substantial influence in the psychology
profession.  Gloria Stienem (sp?) stated its philosophy clearly, something to
the effect, "It is my hope that by the year 2000 we will replace God with
Human Potential."  It is a civil religion because paradise is delivered by
the state raising children as they should be.  The equilvalent of a religious
experience is accepting "the truth" that you were an abused child but
repressed the memory or that you ARE a child abuser.  Once you have done
either of these you will find your way to peace and tranquility under the
gentle guidance of the person who led you to "the truth."  Since a
fundamental belief among a significant number of these "professionals" is
that all children are sexually abused, no evidence is required.  If you are
somehow clever enough to hide the fact that you are a child abuser or an
abused their belief system justifies lying to the police or courts.  That is
why you have examples like the statement included in the Texas class action
suite, "I will lie to anyone if I think it is in the best interest of the
child."  There is a glimmer of light on the horizon.  Some social workers
have realized that their profession is about to go down the tubes because of
these fanatics and are looking for a way to save it.  What a time to be
live!

assistant: Well, lots has been happening here in Texas.
I spoke to an assistant of my state rep, and she confirmed that the rep's
office has had MANY run ins with CPS locally over the last few years.
She also confirmed that the County DA has his eyes on something more than
being the District Attorney in a backwater little county.  After listening
to my explaination of our case, she agreed that something wasn't right for
them to keep us hanging for all this time.
I called the State Bar Assoc. and they couldn't give me any advice about
the having to wait 2 years before filing for a dismissal-said they couldn't
give out legal advice, only mail me a grievance form.
As a result of a letter I wrote to a local paper regarding accountability
in the CPS and judicial systems, I got a call from a woman who's husband
has been falsely accused of molesting a little girl who lived in the apart-
ment complex where he worked as a maintainence man.  The police never showed
the little girl (who has emotional problems) any other photo except that of
this man, and CPS got an accusation out of her.  He says he thinks the girl
picked him because he was always nice to her, and she's probably afraid of
the one who REALLY hurt her.  He has some background in law, and his lawyer
might just get the case dismissed as a result of no one else being questioned
and the fact that the mother waited two months after suspecting something
before calling the police.  There was never any medical exam done, so there
is no concrete proof.  He has passed THREE polygraphs that he took on his
own.  He's become interested in Frank's case,and they are going to get
together and talk about it along with the possibility of a class action
lawsuit against CPS and the State of Texas.
That's it for now,
Nancy Eddy

assistant: ================== It did? =========================================
   do..
and the old concept of 'innocent until proven guilty' is about as valid
as 'til death do us part'
It should disturb you anyway....sadly, few resent the bitterness of
injustice -- until they've tasted of it themselves -- then they want the
whole world to rally to the cause. Unfortunately; our society is
infected with apathy. It's amazing how, 219 years into our great
history, the Constitution is, suddenly, becoming a dubious birthright in
the minds of so many. I'm not espousing any "militia" beliefs here. I
just think that until our whole society starts getting back to some
basics, we're all headed for deeper doo-doo.
And so many innocent lives, reputations, careers, etc..will have been
wasted along the way -- ruined beyond restoration!
Your experience and grief will be "discounted", for sure
As you should be repulsed! Injustice revisted..or..insult on top of
injury.
Full agreement from here.

 I do agree that we are living in a world gone mad!  Both sides of
 the argument applys, but this echo is dedicated to the side of true
 child abuse that actually happened.  For made up stories, and false
 accusations, I advise you to seek the "Victims of False Accusation"
 echo, and I think there is a newly instated "VOCAL" echo (Victims
 Of Child Abuse Laws).  Ask your SysOp if he can trace down these
 two echos.
 I personally am a victim of both, Child Abuse and False Accusations.
 I support both sides of the coin, but look for truth, not for a
 good story.  If you find either of those two echoes, drop me a line.

Great post here Roger!  Thanks for the input.  I hope someone who is directly
involved in this will see it on the conference.
By the way, I have received a suggestion from the CNFDN headquarters that,
in order to further promote my conference, CN Legal_Arts, that I should
have a "guest interview".  I am wondering whether you think you might be up
for such a thing?  I would post a series of questions to you, to which you
would respond, and then I would post the whole thing on my conference (I'm
the moderator there).  I would keep it relatively short and direct and I
think it would help to get it out about the important work you have been
doing with respect to your "model" of scientific structure for witness in
various cases.  Would you be willing to give it a try?
Please let me know.
Yours truly,
Don

assistant: Hello again Judith,
What a wonderful concept!
But, you see, it does "hit home", it's just that some people are not aware
of it and pay the price, anyway.
Judith.  I want to share with you that I am a "convict", and a "threat
to society" in some peoples' eyes.  It pulls me apart too.  Guilty or
innocent, I did a lot of time in prison and my life was destroyed.  But
I know there have been hundreds of thousands of people who have given up
their lives, Jesus included, for the sake of righteousness.  On that I
can rely.  It is then, to me, only a question of numbers... how many more
before there is a measureable improvement in the human condition, how many?
Your posts are so precious!
Yours truly,
Don Herman

assistant: Thanks for your compliments on my posts - don't worry, some of my best
friends have been to prison.  (I'm in AA - so some of them deserved to
be there too and would tell you so in a moment, but someone very close
to me has been in prison who says that this person didn't do it and I
happen to believe this person for very specific reasons - I also have a
relative in prison at this time, who I believe was "set up", again, for
very specific reasons that i can
't go into because I believe he is still trying to appeal it)
Even with those friends of mine in AA who did time that deserve it, I
look at it this way, when I am without sin, I get to cast the first
stone - they did their time, so the slate SHOULD be clean. (even if it
usually ain't)
