I need to be uncharacteristically brief, tonight, as I've quite the day

Rest assured you are not forgotten, and that I'd be more than happy to share

indeed, appear to have much going in her favor.

The first message in FOSTER has arrived on my system, hence I conclude that
it has been "Backboned."
Of some possible interest to our California friends, (you there, Val?), may
be that the first message I read addresses the fact that the majority of
children placed into foster care in California are never returned to the care
of their parents.

the gateway between FidoNet and Internet is shutting down. Reasons given
include abuses by former (and presumably disgruntled) Sysops, and people
subscribing to large mailing lists, which was not the original purpose of the

There is a genuine possibility that the Fidonet domain address may itself

I'll never again take these forums for granted!  So hard to reconnect...
We're from the Midwest & know a thing or two about digging out.  Quite an
impressive act of God out East.
I take this to mean that when you get a chance, I'll hear from you again.
Thought I printed my letter to you, but can't find it or dreamed it.
We take every helping of encouragement we get.  Your good words are apprecia-
ted. We hope God will zap those judges w/insight to truth & good sense.
I printed out almost all postings in this latest batch--conspiracy to deprive
of civil rights & Accountability Act--wondering how they might apply in my
daughter's case.  Maybe we can discuss this when you get a chance.
Oh, thank you--and such a relief, too, to be _able_ to come back!

assistant: It seems the general hostility level seems to creep ever upward.  It is onely
a personal opinion, but I think all the indicators (malitia movement,
"random" acts of violence by angry individuals, mass layoffs, etc.) point to
the US crossing the destabilization threshold shortly before the next
election.  What a &^*$%#@  mess.
       I need to tell you there was a slight error in the database postings
you related.  At the end of RB-FOIA.ASC "in his own case file -- in the Board
of Social Services" should read "in the folder containing his complaint
against a psychologist filed with the Board of Examiners in Psychology" or
something equivalent.
       Are you aware of the possible hearings on criminal conduct by child
abuse "expert" by the House Subcommittee on Crime and Criminal Justice?  If
not I I will post what I have.  I received the info from the FMS
ganization.
       I have done some more analysis on the Crime Victims Reparation Board
data.  Twelve child abuse accusation mills (8% of all therapy service
claimants) received 63% of therapy service payments, nearly $200,000.  This
may be sufficient to start some criminal investigations.  There is no
reasonable way of dealing with these people.  A few hundred of them are going
to have to be sent to prison before the rest of them "get it."

I'm not sure how you can contact Webster directly (unless he's in the
phone book) but you can call Roger Bresnan of San Diego VOCAL and he
should be able to get the two of you in contact with each other.  They
are friends and work together on occassion.  Roger's number is:
(619) 262-4523.  The best time to call is during the evening.  If you
reach the answering machine, please ask Roger to call you back collect.
Like most of us, he simply can't afford to call everyone back if it's
on his dime.  Good Luck!

Write your reply.

assistant: Perhaps so, but I'm more inclined to embrace one earlier comment you had
rendered, some months ago, to the effect that chaos theory still prevails.  I
do not subscribe to the Great Conspiracy theory, as do some otherwise astute
gentlepeople with whom I have recently spoken.
Duly noted, and to be changed accordingly.
No!  Please do post this information.
My current field of research extends itself toward the applicability of the
RICO statutes, as well as the more mundane aspects of kidnapping and false
imprisonment.
Also, I have noticed that ALR 4th and 5th leave one wanting as regards social
worker malpractice. It would be premature to offer more at this early
juncture, but suffice it to say that I have been quite busy, lately.

user: You are replying to Roger Brown about "Possible applicability of RICO".

Write your reply.

assistant: Rather than compose my own dissertation regarding the potential
applicability of RICO to some of the matters we have previously
discussed, allow me to post a recent Third Circuit opinion which
serves well as an overview of such actions.  It is complete with
relevant citations, hence ought serve well as a something of a
RICO primer.
It seems well suited for those actions in which a pattern of
criminal activity may be demonstrated to exist, particularly
where pecuniary motive is established, and some measure of
interstate activity takes place.  Out-of-state placement of
children may be one such activity providing this criteria. An
expert witness traveling interstate in order to render fraudulent
testimony, presumably having engaged in interstate communications
toward this end, may also be sufficient to meet the requirement.
I'm still investigating whether fraudulent intra-state mailings
or telephone communications may be sufficient to satisfy the
requirements.  Mind you, this is all preliminary.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi everybody...
I am ne to this conference so really don't know the rules and major threads
that have been going on or expected.
I am a 39.5 year old divorced male who was accused of child abuse as the
first reason for the divorce. in reality, once separated, i was treated for
and awarded full disability for being the victim of male spouse abuse. The
accusations have since varied and changed with is not here or there. but i
know that the ex has drilled the kids on what "" i did to them to be
abusive, my now 10 year old can recite exactly ""what i did and when -
never varying from one time to another. of course anything the ex may have
done was ""an accident - though whatever i did were few and far between and
individual events, whereas hers continue to be often and related.
What can i do about the kid's beliefs and feelings toward me on this issue,
other that wait... i realized time will tell many things and that the truth
may eventually be realized. other people i really don't care about - most
are realizing the truth now that i have been out of the picture for over
three years. And for those important enough for it to matter, have realized
the truth by now anyway...
None of the abuse was sexual in nature, i read all the time about this type
of abuse, but rarely see anything about the other types. even with spouse
abuse.
Anybody in the same boat as I, consider answering. Finally dealing with my
anger over this crap is now important in my recovery.
thanks
keep on typing...

assistant: RICO does have some potential.  The Crime Victims Reperation Board is meeting
this thursday here in Arkansas.  Through several twists and turn connected
with producing a report based upon payments they have made to "therapist" for
treating alleged child abuse victims, I may have found a new opportunity to
document the atrocities.  It seems that no criminal conviction is required
for them to certify someone victim of a crime.  I am asking the Board if
indviduals that are victims of criminal act (kidnapping, false incarceration,
etc.) by state employees and perjury by immune witneses entitled to
compensation as crime victims.  This would force recognition of the problem.

assistant: * Forwarded from "ADOPTEES"
 * Originally by Becky Jackson
 * Originally to All
 * Originally dated 16 Jan 1996, 20:58
ALERT ALERT!  I have taken a client from Illinois on.  Her case is local in
claremore and her story is frustrating.  Anyone that has any information on
Adoption Center in Claremore, please call me at my private number 745-1876.
I am looking for anything (positive or negative).  Here is brief outline of
story - She placed her 8 year old daughter and unborn child in an adoptive
family. Adoptino center did homestudy and agreed that family could adopt both
children and they would do paperwork.  When baby boy was born, the adoptive
family went to pick him up from hospital in Tulsa and baby was missing.
Adoption Center placed him in Foster Home and now this foster family has
filed an interlocutory decree (petition to adopt with 6 month waiting period
waiver).  Diana (Bmom) has to find a lawyer in Tulsa (which I have been
desperately searching) to take her case pro bono and file an emergency file
of fraud against the Adoption Center.  Bottom line, what I need from this
group is, info regarding adoption Center, a lawyer that would work for free,
any media related people that want to investigate this story.  I have passed
story onto KRMG, OKlahoma Eagle and Channel 2.  But we have to jump on this
immediately.  I have already got the adoptive family a trust fund set up (for
legal fees), and press releases to anyone that wants a copy.  Please email me
if you can help.  If you wish to make donations please send them to: Tosh's
Foudation at LocalAmerica in Claremore.

Write your reply.

assistant: I think it does, particularly in those instances in which children
seem to disappear in droves in a particular geographic area, only to
reappear, some time later, elsewhere.  This is something I shall be
turning my attention to shortly, hence expect a call regarding this
matter.
Reminds me that I need to reschedule an appointment or two in
Richmond, postponed due to the weather.
I had considered the possibility of helping someone seek financial aid
under the Crime Victims Compensation Act through the Crime Victims Aid
office of the Commonwealth Attorney.  Catch-22 is that the crime must
be reported within 30 days if eligibility under the program is to find
applicability.  State intervention victims often experience a learning
process that begins some time after the dust settles, often long after
this 30 day reporting period has expired.
While it may serve as some consolation to those fortunate enough to
stumble upon VOCAL, or some other advocacy group, to discover that
they are not alone, and that this is part of a national problem, they
require more than a mere pat on the back and a couple of newsletters.
They require, at minimum, a stable platform upon which to build, one
that would serve to accelerate the learning curve.
It has been my experience that people are inclined to "forget" that
they needed "emotional support" once they have become acquainted with
their local statutes, the Lawyers Edition, and American Law Reports.
My guess is that such need for emotional support stems largely from
the feeling of "feebleness on one side, overpowering strength on the
other."  United States v Bethlehem Steel Corp. 315 US 289, 86 L Ed
855, 62 S Ct 581.
In closing, I also think it is essential that one find a way of
maintaining ones sense of humor.

assistant: Hello, Valery--
I'm going to try to be more regular at Vfalsac.  As I said to Rick, it's one
of the best forums.  I print out almost everything posted & forward it to
others.  We recently made contact with Jenny Wilcox, also one of the falsely
accused.  We're sending her some relevant material I got here.  Jenny has
been in prison since 1985 on false charges of sexual abuse--one of the
victims of the 80's hysteria.  She is finally getting a hearing in Feb. Have
you heard of her?  Most of the "victims" have now recanted their coerced
testimony.  This is apparently her last chance at freedom.
Is there somewhere I can post her story to gain support for her?  There's a
fund for her which is $1500 short of its 2500 goal.  It's to pay travel and
hotel for some pro bono witnesses.  I don't know how to go about this.  I
don't even know how to crosspost.  Pretty ignorant still, I'm afraid.
I'm very glad to be dialoguing here again.  Since everyone might read this,
they'll all feel appreciated, I hope.       Blessings from....
