NH Judges Responsible for Illegal Child Kidnappings and Adoptions


These are the NH Judges responsible for the illegal kidnappings and adoptions of my grandchildren, Austin and Isabella.

 Judge James Leary

Judge Leary presided at my daughter's Preliminary hearing in Nashua District Court on September 26,2005.
Instead of asking for proof of abuse and neglect, he took the word of DCYF ATTY. Kate McClure who relayed an already proven false report of abuse of my grandchildren, stating the abuse took place in my home. The False report does NOT state where the supposed abuse took place.
Judge Leary ignored the U.S. Supreme Court Rule of 2004 9-0 which states: Hearsay is NOT admissible in Domestic Violence Cases or Abuse and Neglect case. Because of Judge Leary's negligence, my husband and I were denied custody of my granddaughter and she was placed in Foster care. For the last seven year's, my daughter and I have filed motion's requesting the Court CD of the Preliminary hearing. Every one denied for fear the DCYF Atty's dirty little secret would be exposed.
Judge Leary is also responsible for denying exculpatory evidence proving innocence of Isabella's mother, yet he is also responsible for court ordering all medical files, but negligently did NOT court order the file we were trying to submit into evidence.
He is also responsible for court ordering my daughter out of Methadone treatment, which is illegal and discriminatory and court ordering her into a program that did NOT exist in this state making compliance impossible.

Judge Cloutier is responsible for terminating my daughter's rights of Isabella. He stated the opposite of testimony and proof given at the TPR. The Supreme Court Justices stated in their decision of the appeal, that he made no error's. Now I know the Judges don't bother to  read court paperwork and transcript's. Either that or they all need new glasses.
Judge Cloutier is also responsible for terminating my daughter's rights of Austin and not placing him in our home, even though all of the States witnesses testified of the strong bond he had with his grandfather and how he wanted to live with us. At nine year's old, he should have been able to choose.
My daughter also enrolled herself into a program that DCYF should have done, but neglected to. Her rights were still terminated because she wasn't done with the program. 

                                        Judge Thomas Bamberger

Judge Bamberger officiated on both daughter's criminal cases and child custody cases at the same time. He should have recused himself, but instead showed his bias against both of them. He dropped the Criminal charges of Child Endangerment in Criminal Court due to my daughter's newfound evidence proving her innocence. In Child Custody Court he told both daughter's it was too bad if their children were taken illegally, stating it was too late.

Judge David LeFrancois (When I find a picture, I'll post)

Judge LeFrancois denied the admittance of exculpatory evidence in Court proving my daughter's innocence. The same evidence submitted in Criminal Court where the charges were dropped. He also denied a motion to drop all charges.

            
                                                  Judge James Patten

Judge Patten is responsible for terminating the right's of Fictitious men as the father's of both Isabella and Austin. The REAL father's were never contacted. Isabella's father filed a petition Challenging her adoption and for paternity testing, twice. Both times denied. Judge Patten granted the adoption of Isabella 4 days after receiving an affidavit of paternity, claiming he never received it. If he didn't receive it, why was it in an objection brief filed by the NH AG's Attorney Rebecca Woodard? Judge Patten also granted the adoption while a Motion to Reconsider for Injunctive Relief was pending in Probate Court and an Appeal was pending in the NH Supreme Court.
Judge Patten terminated the rights of a man 13 year's younger than Austin's father with the same name from Nashua, even though Nashua DCYF had in their possession Austin's birth certificate with his father's name, birth date place of birth. They put an ad in a newspaper in Mexico, for a father in Honduras. DCYF also had in their possession Austin's father's social security number, address and phone number. The DCYF Caseworker stated, "So what. No big deal. It doesn't matter."
Both Austin's and Isabella's father's rights were never terminated and they aren't the only fictitious father's whose rights were terminated in Nashua. In fact, there were two other little girls placed in the same home as Isabella. Both girls have different father's, yet Judge Patten terminated the right's of one of the father's, as the father of both girls. They were also adopted by the same family. One of them, illegally.
Judge Patten granted the adoption's of Austin, Isabella and another child illegally. I'm sure there are many more, but too many people are afraid to speak out and fight back.
You're probably wondering if I filed complaints with the Judicial Conduct Committee. No, I didn't because it's a waste of time and energy. The JCC is a good ole boy's network, who protect their own, just as the Attorney Discipline office protect's their own and DCYF protect's their own. Maybe if the DCYF worker's didn't have a Union to protect them, the fraud and corruption would end.

                                                                
                                                    Judge Edwin Kelly
Oh, and I musn't  forget Judge Edwin Kelly. After all, he's the Judge responsible for all this. 


NH AG's Task Force on Child Abuse and Neglect Second Edition 2002


OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION,
DIVISION FOR CHILDREN, YOUTH
AND FAMILIES
CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT:
Guidelines for New Hampshire
School Employees:
Recognizing and Reporting
Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect
A Publication of the Attorney General’s Task Force
on Child Abuse and Neglect
Second Edition 2002


These are the NH Ag's Protocols Recognizing and Reporting Suspected Abuse and Neglect from 2002.
My question: Do these guidelines only pertain to Biological parent's? Do these guidelines NOT pertain to NH Foster stranger's? From what I've witnessed, these guidelines are only for bio families. 
See Page 37:
Notice on this page the highlighted in yellow indicators of Neglect. When my granddaughter was brought for visit's with her Mother, she was covered in dried up feces. Up her back and chest and down her leg's as well as her buttocks and private area were covered. Another visit, on a chilly, rainy October morning, she arrived in a thin pair of pajamas. No hat, no jacket, no pram suit, covered with a holey afghan, in which her toes stuck out of. Another morning she arrived with the same stained pajamas as the day before, in which the Foster female stated her husband mistook dirty pajamas for clean ones. Another morning, she arrived with her face covered in crusted booger's and a runny nose. My daughter feared her premature newborn would come down with RSV and relayed her concern's to the parent aide, her DCYF Assessment Worker Melissa Deane, CPSW Kris Geno, her Lawyer Brian Major and Judge James Leary. None of the four were the least bit concerned. 
As you can see by the indicator's on Page 37, these are all indicator's of Neglect. Neglect by Bio families, but NOT considered Neglect by DCYF's "Chosen" Foster stranger's. WHY?
I'm curious as to there being no mention of scratches and bumps on a newborn babies head. Wouldn't you think that would, or should be considered abuse? Not in my granddaughter's case, but then Foster stranger's "don't have to be perfect to raise a child." Then why do parent's? If my granddaughter were in her family's care and any of these scenerios happened, she would have been removed in a heartbeat.

Kidnapping In Arizona

And Kidnapping Nationwide!
Note: This sounds so much like my own story. Children taken from my home with no warrant or Court order, exculpatory evidence denied, the denial of firing a Court appointed Lawyer who admitted he work's for the Court, NOT the parent. The list goes on and on. This fraud and corruption MUST end!



Published on Oct 14, 2012 by 
Forensic expert Zed McLarnon and JusticeforFamilies.us expose Arizona's kidnap-for-profit racketeering scheme via the kidnapping of Sara Johnson's three sons by false allegations and perjury by Child Protective Services, police break into houses to snatch babies without a warrant or pickup order, malicious prosecution, suppression of evidence and subornation of perjury by Attorney General Tom Horne, public defenders that refuse to submit exculpatory evidence, and suppression of evidence, fraud and due process violations by state and federal judges that operate courts as criminal enterprises where records are altered to usurp the judicial process and take custody of as many children as possible. It's human trafficking of children for profit and protected by upper courts, the Dept. Of Justice, the House Judiciary Committee, Attorney General Eric Holder and President Barack Obama who benefits financially by campaign contribution from the lawyers, judges, police, court personnel and prosecutors that are funded by Congress and the Abuse and Divorce Industries.

Listen to the story of an EMT and a Paramedic and what turned out to be a very brutal attack on them by the person they are suppose to be helping.

Then listen to how they have been even more brutalized by the people that are suppose to be protecting them. There will be additional shows on this with even more dreadful testimony and evidence of how the system is failing them.

Preface
Each day, the safety and well-being of children across the Nation are threatened by child abuse and neglect. Intervening eff ectively in the lives of these children and their families is not the sole responsibility of a single agency or professional group, but a shared community concern. Th e Child Abuse and Neglect User Manual Series has provided guidance on child protection to hundreds of thousands of multidisciplinary professionals and concerned community members since the late 1970s. Th e User Manual Series provides a foundation for understanding child maltreatment and the roles and responsibilities of various practitioners in its prevention, identification, investigation, assessment, and treatment. Through the years, the manuals have served as valuable resources for building knowledge, promoting effective practices, and enhancing community collaboration.
Since the last update of the User Manual Series in the early 1990s, a number of changes have occurred that dramatically affect each community’s response to child maltreatment. The changing landscape refl ects increased recognition of the complexity of issues facing parents and their children, new legislation, practice innovations, court improvements, and system reform eff orts. Significant advances in research have helped shape new directions for interventions, while ongoing evaluations show “what works.”
Th e Office on Child Abuse and Neglect within the Children’s Bureau of the Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has developed this third edition of the User Manual Series to reflect increased knowledge and the evolving state of practice. Th e updated and new manuals are comprehensive in scope while also succinct in presentation and easy to follow, and they address trends and concerns relevant to today’s professional.
Th is manual, Working with the Courts in Child Protection, provides a basis for understanding court processes most relevant to child abuse and neglect cases. Th e manual offers guidance and practical tips primarily for child protective services caseworkers. It also may be useful to other nonlegal professionals, such as those working in law enforcement, health care, mental health, and child advocacy, who wish to gain a better understanding of court processes.
This manual builds on information presented in other publications in the User Manual Series, particularly A Coordinated Response to Child Abuse and Neglect: A Foundation for Practice and Child Protective Services: A Guide for Caseworkers. Readers are encouraged to refer to other manuals relevant to their professions and interests.

Higher court to Kern: give this mom a hearing to Present Evidence of Innocence

LOIS HENRY: Higher court to Kern: give this mom a hearing - BakersfieldCalifornian.com:

See: http://www.5dca.org/Opinions/Opin2012/100812/5D12-3407.op.pdf

It's concerning any time a court of law has to be reminded to actually follow the law. When that court is holding the fate of children in its hands, it's down right disturbing.
I'm talking about Kern County Juvenile Court, which was told by the 5th District Court of Appeal earlier this month that it is, in fact, obligated to allow people accused of child abuse the opportunity to present evidence of their innocence.
