Happy 7th Birthday Isabella!

  
Isabella Brooke Knightly Born August 31,2005-Stolen by Nashua DCYF October 3, 2005

Happy Birthday Princess! Though we can't be with you today, we love and miss you more than ever. We anxiously wait for your return. A day we will definitely celebrate with you by our side.

We've never stopped fighting for your return and never will. Illegally stolen from your REAL family and illegally adopted out to the stranger's you call mommy and daddy. Stranger's who can never love you as much as we do. Stranger's by now you must know are NOT your REAL family. Strangers who worked with a rogue Government agency to kidnap you.

You WILL come home! We have the best people in this State working with us for your return. The only people who care that you were stolen and adopted out illegally. The only people fighting to make things right!

Happy Birthday Sweetheart! You'll be home sooner than you know!
Love, Mommy, Daddy, Grammy, Grampie and your Entire REAL Family!

XXXOOOXXXOOOXXXOOOXXXOOOXXXOOOXXXOOOXXXOOOXXXOOOXXXOOO

Praying for a miracle

Praying for a miracle | Called to Foster:

And what do you think that miracle would be? 

The Foster strangers holding your STOLEN, Biological child hostage for the State, pray for a miracle terminating YOUR rights to your child.

And WHY would the Strangers pray for such a Miracle you might ask?

So they can adopt YOUR child and reap ALL the benefit's the State has to offer to such caring people such as yourselves, knowing full well Strangers and Criminals are treated better than REAL Parents!

Non-addictive, 'heroin-like' medicine may soon crush major depression

Non-addictive, 'heroin-like' medicine may soon crush major depression | Fox News:

What could easily be the most important advance in the pharmacologic treatment of major depression and anxiety disorders is now unfolding.  

A new investigational drug, currently known as ALKS 5461, could deliver all the mood-enhancing and anxiety-lowering effects that lead people to use opiates like heroin and Oxycontin—without the potential for getting high or addicted.  That’s right:  ALKS 5461 could be a non-abusable, non-addictive heroin-like compound.

ALKS 5461 is actually a combination of two molecules.  The first is buprenorphine, which is already used to provide some of the benefits of opiates, without many of the worst side effects, allowing people to get off of street drugs (as an alternative to methadone).  The second molecule is now known as ALKS 33—and that’s the magic part.

NH Courts in Chaos even with Order's

DMVC Productions = Results: NH Courts in Chaos even with Order's:

George Orwell once said "Political chaos is connected with the decay of language... one can probably bring about some improvement by starting at the verbal end." If so then Judicial chaos is connected with the decay of literacy, one could probably bring about improvement if all the legal actors involved followed the rules and orders of their superior and actually had stock in their oath of office. 
For example, in New Hampshire the court system is operating in chaos, we have a first amendment right to free speech so the courts are suppose to accessible to all unless its so disruptive; the bulger case packs the court so what could be so disruptive? Anything the judge says for example this order from 2008  fhttp://www.courts.state.nh.us/supreme/orders/order011108.pdf clearly informs the public and the courts that audio and/or video taping is allowed in court rooms.

So, instead of paying $25.00 plus for poor quality tapes from the courts you can create your own when your in there. However, this development this past March of 2012, again like GAL cases shows the Judges of these courts do not know the laws and orders they are suppose to act under.

NH Family Judges Exempt from Appellate Review-Pass CACR-26

NH Family Judges Exempt from Appellate Review « Fathers & Families:

Recently I did a piece on a promising development in New Hampshire – the actions of the Redress of Grievances Committee of the state House of Representatives.  Apparently, citizens can take their complaints against state officials to the Committee, have them heard and, if they’re deemed founded, the Committee will recommend action by the legislature.  The findings of the Committee’s investigation into the outrageous behavior of family court judges, Marital Masters, Guardians ad Litem and the like make it clear just how out of control are the family courts of the Granite State.  Indeed, those courts and their personnel plainly behave as they wish, regardless of due process of law, regardless of evidence law and regardless of litigants’ rights and children’s well-being.  Impeachment was the recommendation for more than one state official.

But a question arises; how can courts act with such impunity?  How can they behave in such a wild West, answerable-to-no-one manner?

Read More at the above link:

This article also brings us to CACR-26. In 1978, the legislature gave the state Supreme Court the power to make and implement rules for the lower courts of the state to abide by. Contrary to the clear language of the enabling statute that those rules would have “the force and effect of law.” The judges were freed to do anything their heart desired with no concern that an appellate judge would overrule them. Passage of CACR-26 would finally allow ALL Family Court Litigants New Hampshire to appeal the illegal actions of family court judges. 

Please vote in November to PASS CACR-26 and give the NH Family Court Litigants back their rights which were taken from them in 1978!

COMMITTEE for REDRESS of GRIEVANCES REPORTS

COMMITTEE for REDRESS of GRIEVANCES REPORTS | Kevin Avard for State Rep:

COMMITTEE for REDRESS of GRIEVANCES REPORTS

Published August 26, 2012 | By kevin

 COMMITTEE for REDRESS of GRIEVANCES REPORTS

The following reports are the result of committee hearings and deliberations on the petitions presented to it.  They are printed here for informational purposes.

PETITION # 2 grievance of Elena Katz, Arnold Grodman, and Their Daughter.  (Report filed 8/21/12)

MAJORITY

Grievance Founded with Recommendations.

Committee Majority Findings:

The Redress of Grievances Committee after listening to testimony and seeing supporting documentation finds that in the course of a long and protracted confrontation with the Timberlane Regional School District that began when the Petitioners sued the district in federal court for taking federal funds for a child being home schooled. First were unfounded allegations of child abuse by the school district which led the Petitioners to move to Massachusetts.  In the ensuing years, the Committee finds that the Petitioners suffered from a remarkable series of unacceptable actions from the office of the Rockingham County Attorney and the courts:  1. Prosecution under Interference with Custody (RSA 633:4) regarding a guardianship that arose out of the Child Protection Act (RSA 169-C) when RSA 633:4 was created specifically to enforce parenting plans under Parental Rights and Responsibilities (RSA 461-A) in the area of Annulment, Divorce and Separation (RSA 458);  2. Revisiting by county attorney of the same essential charges multiple times against Petitioners using only slight changes in the wording; 3. The use of an unfiled criminal complaint as evidence of an actual judgment in New Hampshire; 4. Use by the court of a nonexistent “felony judgment” claim to extradite family from Massachusetts; 5. Follow up arrest using a document whose numbers fail to correspond with New Hampshire’s numbering systems; 6. Contempt charges filed without specifying the nature of the contempt; 7. Dismissal by judge of the lawyers of Petitioners; 8. Knowing denial of counsel for Petitioners on false grounds:  that counsel had been refused when, in fact, they recused themselves; and 9. Disallowing of exculpatory evidence because “it did not prove his innocence.”  The Committee also found the wrongful filing of a criminal complaint by a police chief who subsequently admitted under oath that he had no direct knowledge of the facts of the “crime.”  Furthermore, the Committee finds that in placing the Petitioners’ daughter in the Crotched Mountain facility that their daughter was physically injured with broken bones and a torn earlobe, and that for the purpose of behavior management, the department in cooperation with Crotched Mountain increased their daughter’s dosage of the psychotropic drug, Abilify, from 5 mg/d to 30 mg/d when it is clearly contraindicated for her gender, age and medical condition (diabetes).  To effect this change, the department claimed medical decision-making authority by guardianship pursuant to a 170-C termination of parental rights in a sworn document committing sworn falsification (RSA 641:2).  Finally, as a consequence of the dosage of Abilify, their daughter suffered permanent kidney failure.

Recommendations

The Committee recommends introduction of legislation to:  1. Investigate what went wrong in this case leading to home schooling parents being so insistently and curiously hounded by a prosecutor on the flimsiest of grounds; 2. Clarify in any related RSAs the original intent that “parents” in RSA 461-A apply to divorce only and shall not include the Division for Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) issues; and 3. Request that the Attorney General investigate the involved police chief for false swearing.  The Committee also recommends that the State provide Petitioners’ daughter with health insurance under the State Group plan in compensation for injuries suffered while in State custody and as a consequence of the actions of employees of the State.  The Committee further recommends that the Attorney General be directed to investigate sworn falsification by employees of the Department of Health and Human Services, and wrongful filing of a criminal complaint by a police officer.  Vote 7-3.

Rep. Alfred P. Baldasaro for the Majority of the Committee

MINORITY

Unfounded

Committee Minority Findings:

The Petitioners, Elena Katz and Arnold Grodman, have a fragile and medically disabled daughter who is now a young woman in her early 20s. The Petitioners have been together as a couple throughout their daughter’s life.  Throughout her  life, the Petitioners have been involved in a variety of legal battles over their daughter’s medical care and education, in both state and federal court.

This Petition deals primarily with events which occurred between 2006 and 2011, following a dispute with the DCYF and the Timberlane Regional School District.  It is the opinion of the Minority that the Petitioners may have engaged in some unwise conduct during that time. For example, in 2007 they suddenly moved with their severely disabled daughter to Massachusetts just after, according to the State, she had been placed under DCYF guardianship.  This move kept the Petitioners’ daughter out of a court-ordered placement in a residential program at the Crotched Mountain School.  The Petitioners were eventually arrested in Massachusetts and extradited to New Hampshire, where they were charged with Interference with Custody and Contempt of Court. (The daughter was unharmed.)

Ms. Katz accepted a plea bargain in May 2010 and plead guilty to Contempt of Court. Mr. Grodman’s similar case is still pending.  The Interference with Custody charge against him was dismissed, after the Rockingham Superior Court ruled that RSA 633:4 did not apply to this case where the DCYF (which is not a person) had guardianship. He still faces charges of Contempt of Court.

The Minority failed to see any pattern of official malfeasance by the DCYF, the Rockingham County District Attorney’s Office, or the various law-enforcement agencies who worked on this case.  Also, the Minority does not believe that it was improper to bring the Interference with Custody charge: the judge’s ruling was based on a technical issue which was not necessarily obvious to the various officials involved in this case.  Indeed, the Minority recommends that a future legislature consider amending the Interference with Custody statute (RSA 633:4) to address cases of this sort.

Rep. Timothy Horrigan for the Minority of the Committee

Did Maine Child Protective Services (CPS) give children to Richard Decca the Wal-Mart child abductor???

Legally Kidnapped: Did Maine Child Protective Services (CPS) give children to Richard Decca the Wal-Mart child abductor???:

Note: This is from one of my dear, dear friends who wants to remain an anonymous source. 

We believe it and we want to know the truth!!

Richard Decca was the man who attempted to abduct a little girl from the Waterville, Maine Wal-Mart in 2006. Just prior to that, Richard Decca was arrested for unlawful sexual contact with a 1 year old in Waterville.

Richard Decca lived in Norridgewock. At his point he is traveling from Norridgewock to Waterville to find children to prey on. What would trigger that?

Any good Forensic Psychologist will tell you this man’s behaviors didn’t just start. He just started getting caught. Common sense tells you he escalated to “traveling” and “abduction” because he had no “easy access” to any other child or children.

So how many children did this disgusting man, Richard Decca have access too or in his care prior to this? Keep in mind he was 57 years old by this time. That’s a lot of time that could equal a lot of children.

Well, the word on the street is Foster care children. Kinship care and CPS ignoring the complaints about this man. And a Maine CPS, LSW forging documentation at the office that CPS was visiting these children and all was well until others in the community intervened. As we can only imagine by then it was too late. His sexual assaults and contact on any child or children he had easy access to where enough to keep him satisfied.

Without the assistance or guidance of an attorney, many parents volunteer information that can later be used against them, without a complete understanding of the consequences some of their statements can have. Parents may also agree to safety plans that can later be used against them in proceedings if they do not comply with every single provision of the plans. Furthermore, parents are sometimes forced to agree to out-of-home placements for their children, usually without a full understanding of their options.

Vote for Kevin September 11th,2012 in Nashua-Ward 1

Cornerstone http://www.nhcornerstone.org/candidate-corner/

Published August 24, 2012 | By kevin

Rep. Kevin Avard of Nashua Ward 1 (Hillsborough 28)

August 19, 2012

Rep. Kevin Avard is vying for one of three seats in a race with five candidates in Nashua Ward 1 (Hillsborough 28). He’s clearly a preferred candidate for Cornerstone in the district, with a 100 percent score on Cornerstone’s Families First Scorecard.

Rep. Kevin Avard said he was proudest of his role in passing CACR 26, which, if approved by the People this November, would amend Part 2, Article 73-a in the N.H. Constitution and restore some of the Legislature’s authority to approve administrative rules in the Judicial Branch. Back in 1978, Article 73-a was added and gave full autonomy to the courts to pass administrative rules that have “the force and effect of law.” This change led to rules that have become law without representation, Rep. Avard said.

Most notably, Judicial Branch Rule 1.2 allows the courts to waive all rules. This rule has been used in the family courts to waive the rules of evidence and allow hearsay evidence to be used against parents, Rep. Avard said. And Rule 1.9 gives the court discretion to deny appeals to the Supreme Court, despite the fact that the N.H. Constitution protects that right. When the same government body that interprets the N.H. Constitution is allowed to waive the constitution by passing a rule, it makes the body untouchable, Rep. Avard said. The constitutional amendment CACR 26 will make the Judicial Branch accountable to the people again by allowing the Legislature to pass laws that nullify these court rules, he said. Avard said if the amendment passes, he will file bills to do just that.

As a member of the recently revived Redress of Grievances Committee, Rep. Avard said he personally witnessed citizens who were comforted by finally having a place to turn to seek justice for the first time in years. One of his main priorities for the coming session will be maintaining the Redress of Grievances Committee, he said, but he will also introduce bills from ideas generated by people who testified in front of the committee this past session.

Among the issues still needing to be addressed, Rep. Avard said parents are currently not allowed to see the evidence against them when a Guardian Ad Litem is trying to keep their children away from them. The evidence is kept in a sealed envelope and given to the judge, and parents are not allowed to see it, despite the constitutional requirements that citizens have a right to face their accuser and see the evidence against them. Avard intends to file a bill to fix this problem, so parents’ constitutional rights will be restored. Additionally, Avard said he intends to introduce impeachment proceedings against the judges who have done things like this and work on a bill to remove immunity for judicial officials who misrepresent the truth, whether intentional or unintentional.

OVER 100 DAYS MASSACHUSETTS CHILD CONTINUES TO HELD HOSTAGE BY COUNTY JUDGES

The county judges are misappropriating taxpayer dollars and state services by using Massachusetts DCF to detain this child for reasons other than intended by law; further these judges are in violation of Mass General Law 119, and have abused their power.

Massachusetts Mother appeals to Governor Deval Patrick, Massachusetts Health and Human Services Secretary Bigby, and Massachusetts Chief Justice of Probate and Family Court, Chief Carey; for the return of her six years daughter, who was unlawfully removed from the mother and in placed in the Department of Children and Families custody by a county Probate and Family court judge.  The removal of Alexiss from her mother was in violation of Massachusetts General Law 119 which give judges authority to remove a child from a home in the event of neglect and abuse.  However, the county judge used the law to remove the Alexiss because the mother refused to follow an order that placed the Alexiss in danger.

The county judge, in placing the Alexiss in DCF custody for reasons other than those stated by law has misappropriated state funds and services. The mother, in the past, filed a complaint with the Massachusetts Commission on Judicial Conduct, and a previous county judge in this case was disqualified from the case for child endangerment.  Since this time, current county judges in this case have continued to write unlawful orders that continue to deny the best interest of the Alexiss by forcing the mother to allow unsupervised visit with the biological father, who has a criminal record of sexual assault, rape, and kidnapping (Superior Court District Attorney Katherine Cappelli); recorded allegations of child molestation involving his stepdaughter; imprisonment for domestic violence; years of heroin use; discharge from the military for alcohol/drug rehabilitation failure; and who has mental health issues.

In the onset of this case, the disqualified county judge had ordered the mother to allow the child unsupervised overnight weekend visits with the father who was participating in a drug rehabilitation program and residing in a men’s half-way house.  The county judges denied the mother’s request for a home-study; alcohol/drug evaluation; mental health assessment to ensure unsupervised visits were appropriate; and further denied Alexiss a Guardian Ad Litem.  The biological father who is from Baltimore Maryland was in Massachusetts to participate in a drug rehabilitation program when he was charged in Superior court with sexual assault, rape, and kidnapping of a Kingston woman.

Currently, Alexiss has been in a foster-home for over 45 days, and has only been allowed to see the mother and family one hour a week, with the weekly hour visit commencing three weeks ago.   The Mother states during the weekly one hour visits, the Alexiss’s responses are depressed for the first 15-30 minutes; and the visits end in tear jerking heartbreak, with Alexiss and mother in tears.

Further, the county judges continue to hold Alexiss hostage in order to buy time to wiggle their way out of violations of the Mother’s rights under the Servicemen’s Civil Relief Act.

PLEASE HELP GET CHILD HOME, CALL Governor Deval Patrick (617) 725-4005, Massachusetts HHS Sec Bigby (617) 573-1600, Massachusetts Department of Children and Families, Commissioner Angelo McClain (617) 748-2000, and Massachusetts Probate and Family Court chief Justice Paula Carey  (617) 788-6600.

Full Disclosure Needed About Psychiatric Drugs That Shorten Life

Full Disclosure Needed About Psychiatric Drugs That Shorten Life | Psychology Today:

Research Shows Some Psychiatric Drugs Decrease Lifespan

Those in emotional pain long for that pain to stop, but that longing makes them more susceptible to pitches for products that allegedly will help but can do great harm. People who have been labeled seriously mentally ill are dying 15 to 25 years earlier than normal [1], and it is clear that this is largely because of the effects of the drugs they are given. [2] It's alarming enough when makers of deodorant, for instance, conceal the risks attendant on using their product; how much more reprehensible it is when marketers play not on the fear of having body odor but on the intense suffering of those who are likely to be advised to take powerful psychiatric drugs.

Cornerstone Releases 2011-2012 Scorecard; Tracks 59 Votes That Put Families and Traditional Values First

Cornerstone Releases 2011-2012 Scorecard; Tracks 59 Votes That Put Families and Traditional Values First — Cornerstone Action Cornerstone:

MANCHESTER, N.H.—To help identify which conservative incumbents truly defended traditional values and protected the natural rights of families during the last two years in the Legislature, Cornerstone Action is today releasing its 2011-2012 Legislative Scorecard, which can be downloaded at www.nhcornerstone.org/2012scorecard.

“Earlier this month, Cornerstone premiered its Families First Pledge to help distinguish which state candidates would promise to advance bills that preserve citizens’ rights of conscience and religion, protect innocent human life, defend the natural family and traditional marriage, restore the natural rights of parents to raise, educate and care for their own children, and enact free market economic policies to ensure prosperity in New Hampshire,” said Shannon McGinley, Cornerstone’s acting executive director.

“With the release of our legislative scorecard today, voters will be able to identify for themselves which current state representatives or senators have already supported these principles in the Legislature, and which incumbents have not,” McGinley said. “We hope this information will help voters make an informed decision on whether to send their incumbent representatives or senators back to the State House, or whether a new candidate for office may be a better choice.”
