Counterpoint

We have always respected Stephen Erickson's contributions to the civilized resolution of family law problems. However, his recent commentary ("An alternative to colosseum of family court," Jan. 16) was grossly outdated and slandered the lawyers and judges now practicing in our courts

The Story of a NH Female Inmate Raised in State Care-Redemption and Damnation Part 1

This is a story sent to me from Jessica Parker, AKA Justice Parker, a woman who was raised in NH State care after being taken from her mother by NH DCYF. She is an inmate at the NH State Prison for Women.

I knew this day would come some day, but I never expected it to be today which is exactly why it makes sense for it to be today. So here it is. My story about how I went from having almost everything I ever wanted and could imagine, ever dreamed of and never even knew existed, except for my mother, for reasons I won't explain, but hey, life's not perfect.

I was happy in my placement I shared with fifteen other girls during my two year stay.and became so close that we were practically blood and the staff I would have trusted with my life. I definitely have my problems and that's what stood in my way. My pure blind rage which I was always in, the suicidal crazed glare in my eyes and the manic depression that would never go away. So there is the reason I went from having it all; a girl in placement that is, to nothing in the blink of an eye. When I say nothing, I mean absolutely nothing. I lost all my friends in placement, the staff I had grown to trust, the city I lived in from the time I lost my Mom, my school, my belongings, my bed, my room and anyone who became the closest thing to family I had ever had in what seemed like forever. Anything and anyone in my life was gone. I lost everything, only to have it replaced with total strangers and cold steel chains. Pain and despair claw at my mind whenever I think about it.

I was 15 years old when it happened. I'm now 16 and did I mention that I was mourning the death of one of the best counselors from my placement?, No, well I was,so I'm asking you as you read this to put yourself in my shoes and look through my eyes. If you find they don't fit because you've never been there, then stop and listen, because before I go on, I have to inform you, unless you've lived it, you can never understand completely. But I am determined to further the understanding you have or you thought you had.This is about what goes on behind the locked doors, the stuff they don't want you to see or know.The dark side of the system they hide. The words that were never spoken. The lines you never read.

If you're wondering if this story will have a happy ending like a fairy tale where everybody lives happily ever after, the answer is Hell No! If you want to read something happy,funny, light or even pleasant, this ain't it. This is reality. The truth. The following Part's to this story are filled with torture, torment, pain, loss, anger, rage, hate, resentment, neglect, agony, ignorance,fear, depression, isolation and so much more but I can't name it all.You will just have to read each Part yourselves and look through my eyes even if it hurts, because it does. This is the only way they will realize what they are doing because they are not just taking in juveniles for child abuse and neglect. They are damaging children. Institutionalizing them and turning them into criminals.

Update on the NH Child Who Attempted Suicide

Pertaining to the first post on the NH child who attempted to commit suicide after her grandparents were no longer allowed visitation, I have just received more information.
The siblings had all been placed together in the Foster home by Nashua DCYF and subsequently adopted by the Foster stranger's who allowed the grandparents visitation and contact by phone.
ALL visitation was stopped two years ago as the adoptive family was supposedly moving out of the area. Whether they did or not, God only knows.
The grandparents called the adoptive parents last week and were told their granddaughter tried to commit suicide, so they sent her away somewhere, but wouldn't tell them where. The adoptive father went on a rampage stating he and his wife now have their own biological child and if anyone hurts their child he would kill them. They feared the suicidal child would harm their child.
Why didn't they just send the child to her grandparent's who would have gladly taken her? The grandparents who fought for custody since day one? Were they afraid of retaliation by DCYF and the court's? Probably. Now the child is alone and suffering even more. This is how DCYF supposedly helps our stolen children? DCYF does excellent background checks don't you think? Great job placing stolen children with a man with so much hatred that he would actually threaten to kill a child? DCYF ruins another child's life! No surprise!

Another NH Child Attempts Suicide After Grandparent Visitation Stopped

I was just informed of another child in NH who has attempted to commit suicide after being kept from visiting with her grandparents by the adoptive parents.
This is another Nashua DCYF case where she and her siblings were placed in foster care instead of with Family member's. Another case where criminal charges against the parent were dropped in Superior Court when innocence was proven, but never dropped in Family Court and the children never returned.
The children were adopted by the Foster stranger's, compliment's of Nashua DCYF and the Family Courts and from what I understand, the adoptive parents allowed visitation with the grandparents. Not DCYF of course. When Foster stranger's and family member's work together for the children and get along, DCYF in Nashua move the children to another home, where they again badmouth the parents with their lies. They make the Foster stranger's believe it's best to stay clear of the family, stating their angry and they have no idea why. Wouldn't you be angry if your child were stolen due to fraud? Being angry is normal.
It surprises me that these Foster/adoptive stranger's allowed the grandparent's visitation to begin with seeing as this isn't the norm in NH.
This is just one more case of DCYF's destruction of a family and the severe traumatization of another child. Another child kept from her parents and family ILLEGALLY!
I don't have all the details at this time and will update when I find out more. Thank God the child didn't succeed with taking her own life, but like my grandson, what about the next time?
