Judge Christine Goldsmith: 
Please Protect Damon from His Rapist!

Link to Petition
A signature for Damon is a signature for all the kids endangered by family courts.
Millions of children have been ordered into the custody of their abusers.
 

Damon is making history! 
He is one of the first teens (if not the first) 
to be able to hire his own private attorney (not the usual biased, court-appointed one) 
and file his own motion to be free and safe from his abuser.

Congrats, Damon!  You are awesome!

Now it is up to Judge Christine Goldsmith to afford Damon 
the protection and justice that he is fighting for and deserves.

A Life Sentence
U.S. FAMILY COURTS SACRIFICING MOTHERS & CHILDREN 
Family Courts Behind an Epidemic of Pedophilia & Judicial Abuse

by Keith Harmon Snow

Picture
A five month investigation reveals an epidemic of violence and corruption facilitated by Family Courts in the United States.  Children all over the United States are being taken from their protective mothers and delivered to abusers.  
Behind this epidemic of judicial abuse are organized networks involved in racketeering and corruption, channeling and disappearing billions of dollars of U.S. taxpayers money every year.  Insurance companies are being defrauded by medical and mental health professionals rewarded handsomely for producing quack studies that criminalize loving mothers and protect abusive fathers.  
With clear evidence of racketeering and corruption, high court judges and insider lawyers use and abuse the Family Courts system to destroy protective mothers and deliver life sentences of suffering to innocent children.  Rich, poor, middle-class... No child in America is safe.

California Family Courts Helping Pedophiles, 
Batterers Get Child Custody

by Peter Jamison

Illegal Guardians:
When judges award child custody 
to abusive parents, 
the family court system is broken.

Joyanna Silberg, a psychologist with the Baltimore-based Leadership Council on Child Abuse and Interpersonal Violence, says this drive to assure each party due parental rights has evolved into a form of judicial prejudice. In cases where abuse accusations are true, she says, this prejudice has the practical affect of abetting the abuser. "What it is, is a family court culture that seems to be about dividing property," she says. "It's not about seeing whether a crime is committed."

This is the torture Damon is escaping by being in hiding.
Judge Rotenberg Center:  Torture or Treatment? 
Finally, a video of this barbaric treatment, electric shock 'therapy', 
was exposed after 8 years of attempts to stop it!

Electric shock and other forms of torture are commonly used by molester fathers 
to silence their victims when threats and mind control tactics don't work.

Sending kids to behavioral modification centers like this one is what fathers who molest their children, with the help of family court officials, often do to children like Damon 
who won't recant the sexual abuse or submit to living with them. 
Eric tried to send Damon to one of these kid prisons, (see: Damon to Camp?)  
but Judge Lorna Alksne wanted to try a local psychologist, Dr. Breffni Barrett, first.
Dr. Barrett's job was to convince Damon (and his brothers) he hadn't really been abused.
See: Brainwashing Damon  
When Damon wouldn't recant the sexual abuse, Alksne declared Damon 'psychologically impaired' and suggested that Damon be sent to one of these 'treatment' centers.
(No matter that judges are not qualified to make psychological diagnoses 
and 
no matter that Damon is a straight A student with no history of mental illness/impairment.
Little facts like those never get in the way of family court judges doing whatever they want.)
Judge Alksne suggested sending Damon out-of-state because those programs 
are unregulated, so the torture possibilities are better than at Guantanamo.

Now that Damon has run away, Eric and Nicole can justify sending him 
to one of these camps by saying is that he is 'defiant' or a 'chronic runaway'.  

Electric shock therapy is just one of the many tortures they use on children
(see: Help At Any Cost for more)
________________________________________
"What has happened in Damon's case is a clear example of the 
well-documented phenomenon of family courts discounting clear evidence 
of sexual abuse, improperly ascribing malevolent motives 
to mothers attempting to protect their abused children, and then 
placing the children in the custody of the fathers who victimized them."   
Richard Ducote, Esq., Nationally Renowned Attorney

Ducote Law 

The "malevolent motives" which Mr. Ducote is referring to are versions of pedophile supporter Richard Gardner's  Parental Alienation theory.
Gardner's theory contends that vindictive mothers brainwash or coach their children 
to report sexual abuse in order to alienate children from the father.
However, statistics show it is very rare for women or children to fabricate abuse.
(Gardner committed a violent suicide after children began suing him for ruining their lives 

by causing them to be taken away from loving moms and placed with their molesters.) 

Parental Alienation is a completely bogus defense tactic used by child molesters 
and colluding family court officials who profit when they side with abusers.
The American Prosecutors Research Institute (a division of the National District 

Attorneys Association), identified use of Parental Alienation as 
a deliberate means of obstructing prosecution of sexual abuse cases.
Parental Alienation is the number one strategy used to facilitate the cover up of sexual abuse.  The judge doesn't need any evidence of alienation, s/he merely appoints 
an insider psychologist to opine that mom is alienating.  

But it is impossible for Damon's reports of abuse to have been caused 
by his mom alienating or coaching him 
since Damon's brother, Ryan, was the one who first reported 
that their father had come into their room in the middle of the night 
and was doing something 'weird' to Damon in his top bunk.  
That's what gave Damon the opening to say that his father was abusing him.

See:  CPS letter
Damon's mom was not even the source of the report 

and Damon described the abuse in 6 year old language, 
so the first judge (Judge Michael Smyth) couldn't say it was alienation. 
Instead he said that '6 year olds are stange little creatures who imagine things' (right!)
(BTW--How could Damon have imagined it when it was corroborated by Ryan?)  
(But those little facts don't get in the way of judges siding with paternal predators.)

Judge Smyth said that 
even if Damon was being molested, he still had to live with Eric 
and if Damon's mom didn't cooperate she would "lose her children".
And if she talked to anyone about the abuse she would lose custody as well.
That is incontrovertible proof of the cover up of abuse and silencing of Damon and his mom.
See:  Threats to Silence 

It was only AFTER they came back from hiding that Damon's mom was accused of having "exerted undue influence" (the legal term for coaching and code for alienation) 
by Judge Lorna Alksne--with no supporting facts or evidence whatsoever.
If Judge Smyth did not originally find Damon's reports of abuse a result of alienation, 
how could Judge Alksne, especially when she did not do a proper investigation, 
permit Damon to testify, or even allow a hearing on the abuse?

It doesn't make sense, but then nothing needs to make sense in Family Courts because 
family court judges are not held accountable.

As Wendy Murphy, CNN legal analyst, says: 
"Family Court judges can do whatever they damn well please."
Judges:  First Do No Harm
There is no oversight or accountability and, of course, everybody knows
absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Appellate Courts, which are theoretically supposed to provide oversight, 
simply rubber stamp everything the family court judges decide in abuse cases
under the broad discretionary standard. 
The San Diego Appellate Court justices did not do a sufficiency of fact review; 
they simply regurgitated the fraudulent findings Judge Alksne and Smyth made.
They completely ignored that an investigation as per FC 3118 was never done 
making all the findings of insufficient evidence invalid (See: Petition for Rehearing)
The decision was authored by Justice Alex C. MacDonald, who provided no facts or evidence 
to support Alksne's ruling that the abuse was a result of 
"undue influence" (legal term for brainwashing) by Damon's mom.
They upheld the fraudulent rulings under the too wide discretionary standard, 
which is why the San Diego Task Force is trying to get the standard of review 
lowered to 'error of law' in child abuse cases.
San Diego Task Force on Violence Against Children

Notice: It's either blame the child for imagining it or blame the mom for lying/alienating, 
but NEVER EVER blame a middle class father with a 'nice' facade.  Because then you would have to hold him accountable and 'ruin his reputation'.   
Better to let a child be raped for the rest of his/her childhood
than ruin a father's reputation (so says Judge Smyth and countless others).

Way to go archaic Patriarchal Family Courts.  
Keep up the good work protecting father predators instead of innocent children.
When the public finds out, you'll be sorry, just like the Penn State officals...

Family Courts are deliberately covering up sexual abuse just like officials 
at Penn State and for the same reasons:  political and financial profit.
The Cover Up

The Family Court Cover Up is larger than the Catholic Church, Scouts, Sports, School, Foreign Exchange Students, and Hollywood cover ups put together.  
That's because most sexual abuse is in the family and ends up in family courts.
Millions of children have been abused because of the Family Court cover up.
It is an epidemic.

UPDATE 

May 2012: Petition for Damon is now out.
Please sign and share with all your friends and relatives.
http://www.change.org/petitions/judge-christine-goldsmith-please-protect-damon-from-his-rapist-on-june-21st 

3/15/12:  Damon has been in hiding for going on 9 months.
Damon's father, Eric Moelter, refused to sign a stipulation for joint custody 
allowing Damon to be free to live and visit where he wants, 
nor would he agree to Damon being emancipated in Alameda.  
However, Eric made it very clear that he would agree to him being emancipated in San Diego.  
So Damon has decided to go for the emancipation in San Diego.  
Damon's attorney has been waiting for over two weeks for Eric to send her the consent form.
Is he going back on his word?

Meanwhile, Damon has filed for joint custody and to be able to live and visit where he wants with a new judge in Family Court, Judge Christine Goldsmith.  
At the present time, Damon's mom has zero custody and there is a no contact order.  
She was found to be a danger to Damon because she believes him about the abuse, 

and, in direct contradiction to that, she was accused of having brainwashed coached Damon 
into reporting the abuse by Judge Alksne.
How can someone believe her child was abused AND have coached him?
Makes no sense, but family courts don't need to make sense.
There is no oversight or accountability.  

Damon is asking to be allowed to live where he feels safe (with his mom) 
and visit his father/abuser when he wants.  Imagine that--a 15 year old being allowed to live where he wants.  Now why would something as reasonable as that be so difficult to achieve?  
Because courts do not do what is in the best interest of children, as is commonly believed.  
They do what is in their own best interest politically and financially.  
And that is usually to side with the white, middle class sex offender.  

Judge Salcido whistleblew and informed the public that judges are told they must 
"go along to get along" and dismiss women's and children's reports of abuse.
The status quo is to maintain male entitlement to sexually abuse their kids.
So it is very political.  It has nothing to do with protecting children like Damon.

Damon is making history, being one of the first kids (if not the first) 
to be able to hire his own attorney and file his own custody motion 
to be able to live where he feels safe.  
Congrats, Damon!  You are awesome!

_________________________

Since Judge Alksne was moved, there is a new judge, Judge Christine Goldsmith.
To her credit, she allowed Damon to have his own attorney, however,
she would not waive mediation. So Damon is supposed to negotiate 

with his molester about how much time he should spend with him. 
In what other context would a child have to negotiate with his molester?

Can you imagine the boy in the Penn State scandal having to mediate with Sandusky 
about how much time and which nights he would sleep over with him?
Of course not!!  

These things only happen in family court, which is completely out of touch with reality.  
Or should we just acknowledge that it is controlled by abusers and molesters, 
who have manipulated the system to maintain control of their victims.  
And family court gladly obliges because there is so much financial and political profit to be had. 

__________________________________________

The Dept. of Justice is coming out with a report soon on this sorry state of affairs 
in our so-called "justice" system, inspired in part by Damon's story.
Damon's mom was one of five protective moms presenting their cases at the White House

to DOJ and OVW, along with Amy Lichtenburg, Katy Tagle, Karen Anderson, 
and Mildred Muhammed, wife of the D.C. sniper.

In a follow up hearing, eight more protective moms gave testimony 

as well as one teen who was forced to live with the abuser.
Amy's and Katy's children are dead after being given to the abuser. 
Will Damon end up dead too?  
After all Eric threatened to kill him many times if he told about the abuse and Damon is telling.
Additionally, abusers often send children to camps to get them to recant the abuse.
These camps use torture tactics and many kids have even died after a stint in a camp.
_______________________

Judge Alksne was transferred out of Family Court 
to destroy some other poor people's lives.
Or maybe she will actually have to follow the law in civil court,
 unlike family court, where she could violate the law with impunity 
in her efforts to silence and punish Damon and his mom. 

Maybe the new judge will actually listen to Damon 
and allow him to live where he feels safe and loved.  
Or not.
Stay tuned.

DAMON RAN AWAY 8 MONTHS AGO
Poor kid; missing out on his life because judges protect predators, not children.

Damon applied for emancipation in Alameda County but 
Judge Charles Smiley 
required Damon to be there in person (instead of over the phone).  
Of course, Judge Smiley knew Damon could not be there in person 
or they would have arrested him and forced him back to his abuser.
So Judge Smiley ruined Damon's chance to come home and be safe. 
Another pro-father, anti-kid judge.  What else is new?

Damon's attorney sent a stipulation to Damon's father 

asking Eric to agree to Damon being free to live and visit where he wants 
so that he can come back to school.
In true abuser fashion, Eric refused.
Only three things matter to abusers:  control, control, and control
and Eric wants full control over his victim.

You can call Eric at:  (858) 603-4664 to tell him what you think. 
Or write or visit him at:  Eric Moelter, 14489 Crestwood Dr., Poway, CA 92064
Or email him at ericmoelter@yahoo.com
And be sure and talk to Nicole Peill Moelter while you're at it.  
She is colluding in forcing Damon to live with his molester.  
__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Instead of finally listening to Damon and allowing him to live 
where he feels safe and loved, Judge Lorna Alksne and D.A. Bonnie Dumanis 
issued a Warrant to Arrest Damon and force him back to his abuser. 


DOES IT MAKE ANY SENSE TO ARREST A KID, 
FORCE HIM TO LIVE WITH HIS IDENTIFIED MOLESTER,  
AND ORDER NO CONTACT WITH THE PARENT HE WANTS TO LIVE WITH?
OF COURSE NOT
You have now entered the Sexual Abuse Cover Up Zone 
where child molesters are protected, not children.
____________________________

SO WHY WOULD ANYONE SIDE WITH CHILD MOLESTERS?
BECAUSE ABUSERS HAVE THE POWER, THROUGH CONNECTIONS & MONEY

AND OFFICIALS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT MEN'S REPUTATIONS MORE THAN CHILDREN
[THINK PENN STATE].
ALSO, FATHERS HAVE HAD THE RIGHT FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS
TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH THEIR CHILDREN---THEIR PROPERTY and the judicial system as an instrument of the power elite 
has always upheld that entitlement.

TIME'S UP!  
Thousands of years of control and abuse is 
ENOUGH!
Time for all the good men to stand up for their sisters, mothers, 
daughters and sons.
  
Fathers are permitted to "grow their own victims," as Andrew Vacchs, J.D. put it.  
"We cannot stop every case [of child sexual assault], but we can, 
as a society, stop providing safe harbor to perpetrators."
Family Court provides safe harbor to perpetrators,
and it is up to us as a society to stop it
.  


Damon's mom was told by Judge Michael T. Smyth that she must 
"act like the abuse did not happen, even if it did" 
to preserve the reputation of the Father.
In Family Court, a Father's Reputation is worth more than a Child's Life. 

Judge Smyth also threatened Damon's mom that she would lose custody 
if she didn't cooperate with the cover up:
"...the only way this family is going to move forward and you’re going to keep these kids is if from here on out, you’re acting like it [the sexual abuse] didn’t happen.  
And that’s probably – that’s going to be very difficult for you to do that.  
I think that the only way you’re going to be able to do that 
is if you know you’re going to lose these kids if you don’t."   

A brazen threat on the record made deliberately to intimidate and silence Damon's mom.
What is this--the Dark Ages?  Where are we--Afghanistan?
Women in the U.S. still do not have enough power to protect their children. 

Judge Lorna Alksne McKellar 
and Damon's court appointed attorney, Gary Plavnick confirmed that 
Family Court policy is to "reunify" the child with their molester
so there is no need to do a proper investigation or adjudication--
they have to live with their molester anyway!
In what other context are children forced to live with their rapists?

None.  Only in Family Court.

Note: Even though women and children are routinely called liars, 
they are not really disbelieved--that is a deliberate tactic to justify 
separating them from each other, which serves the purpose of silencing them.
The court officials know the abuse is occurring. 
They also know their job is to enforce that male entitlement, 
that age-old patriarchal dictum, giving the father control of his family 
to use and abuse as he wishes (or not, as in the case of a few good men).

Whistleblower Judge Deann Salcido exposed that new judges are told 
by their superiors they that they must "go along to get along"  
and dismiss women's and children's reports of abuse  [or else].
THE COVER UP 

Judge Alksne McKellar, Judge Michael  T. Smyth, D.A. Bonnie Dumanis, 
lawyers, psychologists, CPS workers, and law enforcement have deliberately 

colluded in the cover up of sexual abuse by Damon's father, because he, 
like Jerry Sandusky, is an "otherwise upstanding" middle class man, with all the privileges that go with that, including sexual access to his own children 

and disenfanchised children, as at Sandusky's Second Mile Foundation.

For a complete list of Damon's traffickers see:  Sex Offender Enabler Registry
Family Court officials across the nation are doing the same thing.
It's time to hold them accountable:
Damon's List

More than 200 children a day are placed with molesters, rapists and abusers, 
while protective parents are actively prevented from protecting their children
with threats from the bench, the bar, child protective and mental health professionals.

Threats to Silence 

THERE IS A CRISIS IN OUR FAMILY COURT SYSTEM 
AND IT'S TIME FOR MAJOR REFORM  
OR BETTER YET JUST ABOLISH IT
WE NEED JURY TRIALS SO BIASED AND CORRUPT JUDGES LIKE JUDGE LORNA ALKSNE and JUDGE MICHAEL T. SMYTH CANNOT PLACE KIDS WITH ABUSERS ANYMORE

SHAME ON YOU D.A. BONNIE DUMANIS
"The Bonnie Dumanis Ditty"

D.A. Dumanis is colluding with Judge Alksne by issuing a warrant 
to arrest him and force him back to his abuser.  
That is despite the fact that in 2007 Dumanis deemed there was enough evidence of sexual abuse to dismiss all charges of abduction 
against his mom for their three years in hiding.  
She promised Damon would be protected if they came back to San Diego
--but it was a trick.
Could this be another favor for her friend Judge Lorna Alksne 
who placed Damon with his abuser?
Or just business as usual--not caring about protecting children
---just her conviction rate?

Bonnie is also responsible for sending many more children to their molesters.
Please take a few moments of your precious time to help Damon.
CONTACT D.A. BONNIE DUMANIS
AND ASK HER TO ENSURE DAMON'S SAFE RETURN!!   
Call or email Bonnie and tell her that you will support her for mayor 
only if she begins protecting our children and our community, 

starting with Damon.
If you are not from San Diego, tell her you support Damon 

being protected from his identified abuser.

                      Damon's Story
                               [Link to Damon's accounts of abuse] 
After two years of trying unsuccessfully to protect Damon in San Diego Family Court under Judge Michael Smyth, Damon's mom took his brothers and him into hiding.  

After three years in hiding, D.A. Dumanis conducted a review of old documents and found there was enough evidence of sexual abuse 
to dismiss all abduction charges against Damon's mom.
Deputy D.A. Teresa Santana said she believed Damon, but did not think there was not enough evidence for "beyond a reasonable doubt" (without having conducted interviews with Damon or any other witnesses), so they could not prosecute Damon's identified molester.  

D.A. Dumanis had promised if they came back to San Diego, there would finally be a proper investigation and fair hearing, and Damon would be listened to and protected from his father, Eric Moelter, whom he says sexually and physically abused him for many years and threatened to kill him if he told anyone.
                      BUT IT WAS JUST A TRICK TO GET THEM BACK TO SAN DIEGO 
                                      AND GIVE THE KIDS TO THE MOLESTER.

Dumanis gave the case specifically to her friend, Judge Lorna Alksne McKellar
who deliberately violated laws which were specifically enacted to protect children like Damon. 

Judge Alksne did not do the minimum required to investigate the abuse as per FC 3118; 
she denied his due process right to an evidentiary hearing and wouldn't allow him to testify; 
she denied critical evidence, including the video of Damon describing years of abuse to the Chadwick Center, and the transcript of his in-chambers testimony when he told her about the abuse, in violation of Family Code 7892;  and she violated Family Code 3027.5 which prohibits removing custody from parents who report abuse. 

                               INSTEAD OF JUSTICE AND PROTECTION 
Judge Alksne used the bogus and inadmissible "Parental Alienation" (PA) theory to take Damon and his brothers away from their protective mom 
and place them with his abuser.
[PA theory was created by pedophile Richard Gardner as a disguised way of calling women and children who report sexual abuse liars, silencing them and enabling the switching of custody to the molesters.]
There was not one bit of evidence to support PA, while there was plenty of evidence to support the abuse, but that did not stop Judge Alksne from using it to effectively terminate Damon's mom's parental rights.

Judge Alksne appointed Dr. Breffni Barrett to "deprogram" the boys  
 "Deprogramming" is pedophile Gardner's recommended cure for Parental Alienation, 
as he claims mothers program their children to report abuse. [Pedophile Gardner]
But what Dr. Barrett and all "Reunification Therapy" psychologists actually do is themselves program/brainwash the children: to recant or forget the abuse, submit to the abuser, and to believe their mom is a crazy liar.
So the true need for deprogramming is AFTER Reunification Therapy. 

See:  Barrett Brainwashing Damon, In Damon's Own Words

The Deprogramming did not work on Damon
When Damon could not be persuaded by Dr. Barrett to recant the abuse and agree to live with Eric, Alksne said she would cure his "psychological impairment" by sending him to a boarding school/camp outside of California, where they use torturous POW tactics to break the child's will. Eric has also attempted to send him to a camp.  
Damon to Camp?
"Experts Warn about Deprogramming Camps"
"Kids in Camps"  
What happened in Damon's case is what happens any time 
a child reports abuse by a middle or upper class father.   
There is a pattern which these cases follow.  
See: Family Court Pattern

THE COVER UP
THERE IS A MASSIVE COVER UP OF SEXUAL ABUSE IN FAMILY COURTS
WHERE CHILDREN AND THEIR MOTHERS ARE METHODICALLY THREATENED INTO SILENCE USING THE CHILDREN AS HOSTAGES TO EXTORT COMPLIANCE
Threats to Silence

THIS COVER UP MAKES THE PENN STATE, CHURCH, SPORTS 
AND SCOUTS SCANDALS PALE IN COMPARISON.
MILLIONS OF CHILDREN HAVE BEEN VICTIMIZED OVER DECADES
.

"It is not a matter of ignorance or incredulity.  
They know, and they systematically cover it up.  
And those who are covering it up know exactly who they are."

Dr. Amy Neustein
From Madness to Mutiny:  Why Mothers Are Running from Family Courts
The cover up is accomplished by a pattern that is used in virtually all sexual abuse cases:
1.  Child reports abuse by father; mother attempts to protect child in family court.
2.  A proper investigation isn't done; evidence is dismissed; mother is called a liar.
3.  Officials deliberately silence the mother and child by giving, or threatening to give, full custody to the father while severely restricting or eliminating visitation if either one continues to report abuse or attempts to get protection.


[For a more detailed account of the Pattern used to cover up the abuse, see:  Pattern]

The Cover Up-->UnCovered

I.    The first step in Ending the COVER UP is to Expose and Educate
II.  The second step is holding accountable those involved in the COVER UP
III. The third step is to create a system where abuse cannot be covered up


I.  Expose and Educate
        A.  HOW DO COURT PROFESSIONALS ACCOMPLISH THE COVER UP?
              1.  POOR INVESTIGATION 
                     
                     A substandard investigation is conducted so that crucial evidence cannot
                     be gathered.
                     Insider minors' counsels and psychologists are appointed who spin the data 
                     against the child and mom.
                     What evidence does get in is deliberately discounted and suppressed which 
                     enables the finding of "insufficient evidence".  Although the burden is 
                     supposed to be low (preponderance), no matter how much evidence 
                     there is, there is NEVER ENOUGH to hold a father accountable and 'ruin his 
                     reputation'.  Even when there is medical evidence, it is disregarded.
                      "Insufficient evidence" is deliberately and fraudulently transmuted to:  
                      "No abuse" and mom and kids must "act like it didn't happen" or they will not  
                    see each other unsupervised (where they're not allowed to talk about the abuse. 
                     Even when the abuse is founded and/or the abuser admits to it, it is minimized
                     and reunification with the abuser is ordered, so the system is designed to give
                     the children to the abuser no matter what.                  
               2.  SHIFT BLAME TO MOM
                             The blame is shifted to Mom via the Parental Alienation tactic and any of the 
                    myriad of ways women are made to look bad. Mom is portrayed as "mad or bad", 
                    i.e. either she is crazy or vindictive or is not being a "friendly parent".  
                    This takes the focus of the father and puts Mom on the defensive.  No credible 
                    evidence is required to make the finding mom is alienating, just the insiders' 
                    bought and biased opinions.  
                    Mom is simply the convenient scapegoat who is destroyed in the cover up.
            3.  LACK OF DUE PROCESS 
                   A pathetic adjudicative process ensues which is unfair and enables the unsupported
                   findings that the abuse did not likely happen and mom is guilty of alienation.  
                   Laws and Constitutional rights are violated with impunity--a kangaroo court.
             4.  THREATS TO SILENCE CHILDREN AND MOMS 
                          Children and mothers who report abuse are told if they do not agree to say the 
                  abuse did not happen or at least stay quiet about it and agree to unsupervised
                  visitation or joint custody with the abuser, they will not see each other again.
                  The children are isolated from their mother through supervised visitation 
                  so they cannot get help. [Threats to Silence]                                       
                  They are sent to complicit insider psychologists who make sure they do not talk 
                  about the abuse.  Often the children are brainwashed.   [Brainwashing Damon]
              5.  COVER UP IS COMPLETE
                     Neither the children nor the mother dare speak of the abuse again for fear of not
                  ever seeing each other again.  The abuse usually continues and often escalates.  
                  The children suffer and are greatly damaged, but the abuser is permitted to do
                  whatever he wants with HIS children, which is all that matters in family court.  

                   What happened to Freud over 100 years ago helps illustrate how the ole boys 
                   have used intimidation and threats to cover up sexual abuse for ages, not 
                   just on mothers and children, but on colleagues like Freud.  See Freud.
       B.  WHY DO JUDGES, ATTORNEYS, PSYCHOLOGISTS, et. al., COVER UP ABUSE?
             1.  ABUSERS HAVE THE POWER THROUGH CONNECTIONS
                  
                The Status Quo/Old Boys support Father Entitlelment over Child Protection, i.e., fathers' right to rape their children if they so choose.  When you go along with the Old Boys, you get rewarded and climb the ladder faster.  There are many people in power who sell children out to increase their own power, position and wealth. (How can they sleep at night knowing children are being raped while they profit from it? There is a special place in hell reserved for them...Damon's List)
                  After a child reports abuse, the accused father immediately hires a father's rights attorney who is connected with all the players known to cover up abuse. 
               There may be bribes, campaign contributions or just back stroking.  But the cases are rigged from the start because the abuser's get connected with the "right" people.  Even the mom's attorney actively or passively enables the cover up because they know they won't win cases in in front of that judge if they don't.                   
           2.  ABUSERS HAVE THE POWER THROUGH MONEY 
              The "Abusers' Lobby" ( a well organized but covert group which is largely made up of pedophiles) is heavily influencing the court system with their political influence, money and power. They use Fathers' Rights groups to divert hundreds of millions of dollars Federal Fatherhood Initiative Funds and as a platform to exercise their control over the courts, pushing bogus syndromes like "parental alienation" and mandatory joint custody to help them gain custody and control of their victims. The courts also fleece the accounts of both parents which can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Bottom Line:  Court officials entrusted to protect children are instead selling them out to abusers.  It's a type of Kids for Cash scheme, likened to child trafficking---the exploitation of children for profit and power.
             3.  ABUSERS HAVE THE POWER THROUGH HISTORICALLY LICENSED MALE 

                     ENTITLEMENT
                    Fathers have always had the right to rape their children if they wanted, ever since patriarchy began---which is still being upheld by the court system, because it is still run by old boys.                    
                 "[In courtrooms] the rule of the father is replicated with frightening precision."   
                 Dr. Caroline Taylor, Court Licensed Abuse
                  Until the 70's, children were blamed for the abuse using Freud's bogus theories that they fantasized, lied or desired the sex.  When that was debunked, the abusers and their enablers shifted the blame to mothers using a new bogus theory--parental alienation. Never yet have middle or upper class fathers been held accountable for molesting their children.
We need to replace the status quo with a system that prioritizes child safety over male entitlement.                      
II.  Hold Accountable All Those Who Participate in the COVER UP
          A.  NAME and SHAME 
                1.  Identify all people who participate in the COVER UP.   [See Damon's List]  

              2.  Use the media and protests to let the public know Family Court officials are
                   enabling predatory fathers. 
           B.  MAKE ETHICAL COMPLAINTS TO THE PROFESSIONAL BOARDS OF THOSE WHO

                 PARTICIPATE IN THE COVER UP.
           C.  CAMPAIGN AGAINST ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE COVER 
                 UP.  LET OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS KNOW WHO IS PARTICIPATING IN THE 
                 COVER UP.
           D.  LET FRIENDS, FAMILY, EMPLOYEES, COLLEAGUES, ET. AL. KNOW ABOUT
                THEIR COMPLICITY IN FEEDING CHILDREN TO THEIR MOLESTERS SO AS TO
                 SHAME THEM.
                 
III.  Create a system that protects children, not abusers.
         A.  PROPER INVESTIGATIONS USING VALID PROTOCOLS
         B.  PROPER ADJUDICATION AND DUE PROCESS
  • Open the courtrooms to the public and make judges accountable for their rulings.
  • Create designated, specialized DV/Child Abuse Courts where all officials are trained in valid procedures and protocols and are mandated to follow them.
  • Get rid of the "best interests of the child" as the standard for custody and replace it with a new concept called the "approximation standard." That means that the judge should try to approximate the same setup for the children that existed before the divorce. If mom was with the kids 70 percent of the time before the divorce, she would be with them 70 percent of the time after the divorce. In non-contested custody cases, the mother and father generally agree to this on their own.
  • Most significantly, the allegation of child abuse in a custody battle must be considered a rebuttable presumption, that is, that the sworn testimony of a parent or child claiming abuse is presumed to be true unless and until the accused sufficiently challenges its veracity.
         C.  ENABLE PROTECTIVE PARENTS TO REMOVE COURT OFFICIALS WHO 
              DON'T PRIORITIZE CHILD SAFETY 
         D.  HOLD ABUSERS ACCOUNTABLE 
___________________________________________________________________________________________________

What happened to Freud over 100 years ago helps illustrate 
the History and Magnitude of the COVER UP.
When Freud's research led him to the finding that hysteria, an affliction of women, was due to the trauma  of having been sexually abused as children, usually by their fathers, he was ostracized, intimidated and threatened by his colleagues and supervisors 

with loss of profession, status and income unless he recanted.  
After a couple of years, he caved to the pressure of the status quo and made a 180: 
He shifted the blame from fathers to children, saying they fantasized, lied, or desired the sex. 
He created junk theories to facilitate the cover up--infantile sexuality,  

the Oedipal complex and other unscientific garbage. 
This pleased his colleagues immensely, so Freud was rewarded with great power and fame.  

Freud's colleague, Pierre Janet, never caved to the status quo, and his works were, 
although scientifically valid, ignored and forgotten in the cover up.  
One student of Freud's, Sandor Ferenczi, did not cave to the status quo either, 
insisting Freud was right the first time, and he paid with his life for his courage.
The Assault on Truth 

Speaking Truth to Power has never been easy...
but it can and is being done by Courageous Kids and Protective Moms everywhere.

The reason everyone knows Freud's name today is precisely because he contributed so much 
to the COVER UP of paternal sexual assault.  
Freud's fame was his reward by the ole boys for helping them 
keep their entitlement and their dirty little secret.

And so, fathers continued to get away with sexually assaulting their children 
unhampered by the truth for another hundred years---
until brave new researchers, like Drs. Judith Herman and Lisa Hirschman, 
discovered the truth and refused to participate in the COVER UP 
despite being subjected to the same old intimidation by a new set of ole boys.  
Trauma and Recovery

The '70's was the Beginning of the End of the cover up 
of paternal sexual assault.
As Dr. Jean Baker Miller said:
"THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING"
Women now have a voice, education, the internet, more financial independence 
and valid scientific research to back them.
There is no other time in history when those crucial things have converged.

But the ole boys aren't giving up their entitlement 
to sexually assault their children without a major fight:
Now that it is known that children do not imagine or desire sexual relations with Papa, 
they cannot so easily blame the children.  
So their organized BACKLASH involves shifting the blame to the mother 
with yet a new bogus theory by a new complicit psychologist: 
Parental Alienation Theory 
created by pedophile Dr. Richard Gardner 

The valid research which shows sexual abuse by fathers is common and extremely damaging is being dismissed and valid investigative protocols are not being followed 
by Family Court officials, who continue to enable predatory fathers.
Same ol' dirty tactics to cover up the same ol' dirty secret.

But we're not giving up, shutting up or going away this time!
We will unite, hold our ground and 
WE WILL WIN
For the first time in written history 
We Will Be Able to Protect Children from Predatory Fathers.

PROTECTIVE PARENTS, SURVIVORS AND ALLIES UNITE!

It is now known that Freud was right the first time: 
sexual abuse by fathers is very common and can lead to serious  mental disorders.
Incredibly, more than 100 years later, with solid research to support the truth,
psychiatric and legal professionals are still using junk science to shift the blame from the fathers to the children 
and to anyone who dares support them, mostly mothers.

The new junk science used to facilitate the COVER UP is Parental Alienation, 
created by pedophile Dr. Richard Gardner.
A version of that theory is what is being used in Damon's case and almost all other 
sexual abuse cases in family courts.
But Dr. Gardner has not gained status like Freud for his creation of junk science 
(although he did get rich off of it).  
In fact, he violently killed himself after many children sued him 
for taking their moms away and ruining their lives.  
Judges, psychologists and lawyers know PA is not valid, but they use it anyway 
as a tactic to deliberately COVER UP the abuse.

HENCE, THE MODERN-DAY VERSION OF THE AGE-OLD COVER UP IS PLAYING OUT 
IN YOUR FAMILY COURT TODAY!
Statement of Whistleblower Judge DeAnn Salcido

It appears Damon and his mom are victims of this age-old patriarchal dictum 

to which Freud was subjected:
"Shut up and let fathers sexually assault their kids--

or else you will pay dearly."

JUDGE ALKSNE IS GOING ALONG WITH THE OLE BOYS' COVER UP 
AND IS MAKING DAMON'S MOM PAY DEARLY 
FOR HAVING THE AUDACITY TO TRY TO PROTECT DAMON FROM HIS FATHER. 

Patriarchy intentionally divides women by rewarding those who maintain the status quo with more power, as they systematically disenfranchise other women by enforcing patriarchal norms.
Alksne and Dumanis are betraying women and children to gain power.

ALKSNE AND DUMANIS WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE REWARDED BY THE OLE BOYS 
FOR THEIR COMPLICITY IN THE COVER UP 
BUT THEY WILL BE NOTORIOUS AND VILIFIED, NOT FAMOUS,

BECAUSE NOW THE COVER UP IS BEING EXPOSED AND JUST LIKE WITH PENN STATE 

THE PUBLIC WILL BE OUTRAGED.
Domestic Violence, Abuse and Child Custody

APPELLATE COURT JUSTICES ARE PART OF THE COVER UP:
Justice Alex McDonald, Justice Terry B. O'Rourke and Justice Richard Huffman
all colluded in the cover up and denied Damon the protection and justice he deserves.
Shame on you higher court justices!  
You are supposed to provide oversight for biased and corrupt lower courts.

Probably not a coincidence that Damon's case went to the oldest of ole boys

and that Judge Alksne served as a temp on the Appellate Court.

Time's UP.  Time for a change of guard.
OUT WITH THE OLD BOYS AND IN WITH NEW GUYS AND GALS-- 
professionals who are unbiased, use valid protocols, 

and prioritize children's safety over father entitlement.
Incest, A Feminist Issue

This is an epidemic which is harming our children

"The scandal in family courts that leads to the tragic outcomes reported by Peter Jamison is a larger and more insidious problem than the Catholic priest scandal.

Family Court Crisis:  Abusers Getting Custody 

“After twenty years [now thirty] in family law courtrooms throughout the country, I confidently say that no woman, despite very abundant evidence that her child has been sexually molested by her ex-husband can safely walk into any family court in the country and not face a grave risk of losing custody to the abuser for the sole reason that she dared to present the evidence to the judge and ask that the child be protected.”

________________________________

Unconstitutional gag orders are routinely issued preventing protective parents from going to the public and the media, 
and records are sealed, not to protect privacy, but to prevent scrutiny of the court which would expose the cover up to the public. 

But the best way ensure silence and cover up abuse is by taking, 
or threatening to take, custody away from the protective parent, 
which is exactly why Damon and his brothers were taken away from their mother and threatened that if they didn't stay silent about the abuse, 
they wouldn't see each other again.
Custody of children is used as leverage to enable the cover up of abuse.

See Threats to Silence

However, there are many organizations supporting Damon 
who will not be silent until Damon gets justice and protection, 
and is allowed to live with his loving, protective mother.

WHY EVEN YOUR CHILDREN ARE BEING PUT AT RISK DUE TO THE COVER UP:
Statistics show that most family predators prey outside the home as well. 
The average number of victims for each predator is over 100 
SO ALL CHILDREN ARE AT GREAT RISK WHEN FAMILY COURTS COVER UP SEXUAL ABUSE.

A good example of of the dangers to children outside the family when sexual abuse is covered up is the San Diego case of 
HENRY "BUD" PARSONS.
The evidence of abuse was ignored, Bud was given full custody, and he went on to molest many other children.
ABC News video

Because of Damon's many reports of sexual assaults by Eric, 
you may want to get as many facts as possible in order to make an informed decision about allowing your children
 to be around Eric or play around his house at:  14489 Crestwood Dr., Poway CA 92064,
or to play around any of his friends' or relatives' houses.
(See the case of Bud Parsons who was convicted for molesting his daughter's friends after getting custody.)

There is no way to tell who is a child molester--
no psychological test, no aspect of their appearance or behavior, nothing. 
Most people think they would be able to tell who could be a child molester, but most offenders appear to be good, upstanding citizens.  
Child molesters count on people falling for their "nice guy" facade.  
Don't be duped.  Believe the children.
(Remember Dateline Predators)

"It is a misconception that child molesters are somehow different from the rest of us...
What is different about child molesters is only this:  They have sex with children."

Dr. Anna Salter

Predators 

"Cultivating the 'good father' and 'good citizen' image tends to prevent detection 
of the perpetrator's conduct while at the same time increasing the difficulty the victim faces
 in being able to disclose the offender's conduct, and then having his/her story believed."
Dr. Caroline Taylor

"Who do I see the most [perpetrators of child sexual assault]?
  I see white, middle class, better than average income, better than average educated, 
often a pillar of the community."

it would do more to reduce crime than every crime bill passed in our lifetime."

Why would anyone help a child molester have access to his/her victim?
Family Court is a billion dollar industry and bribery of many varieties takes place, 
with lots of ambulance chasing lawyers and psychologists.  
Gender bias, cronyism, peer pressure, and the "black wall of silence" 
contribute. 
Politics and climbing the ladder (for going along with the status quo of blaming, discrediting, punishing, 

and silencing women and children) also play a role.
The ancient tradition of the father in control of his woman and children still underpins judicial attitudes.
And the false premise that women and children often lie about abuse.

"From the moment she [Judge Deann Salcido] arrived in family court as a new judge, 
she says she was advised by veterans of the system 
to disbelieve accusations of child or spousal abuse arising in divorces."
 Peter Jamison, SF Weekly
Illegal Guardians:  When judges award child custody to abusive parents, the family court system in California is broken

_______________________________


Despite the fact that research shows between 20-25% of children are sexually abused, most of it by fathers and stepfathers, and that 
it is rare for children to report abuse falsely or for mothers to fabricate allegations of abuse, Family Court still routinely discredits and blames the mother and/or child, while concealing and transmuting credible evidence of abuse.  

One San Diego Family Court judge told a protective mom that in his 30 years on the bench he had never seen a child protected from sexual abuse, so it was not worth her presenting any more evidence (She was attempting to lodge computer evidence of her ex's child porn addiction.)  To this day, we have not heard of a child being protected either.
Even if the abuse is substantiated, "reunification" with the abuser begins immediately.

But, of course, there is no reunification with the protective parents who get custody taken away as a result of trying to protect their children. They treat that as a more serious crime than child sexual assault. 
Reunification is only for abusers, not loving mothers.  The old boys are obviously running this show.

It's time to come out of the Dark Ages and replace the old boys and their minions 
with judges who care more about protecting children than the status quo.

Despite the fact that Eric failed the polygraph and the detective placed him on the  Child Abuse Central Index
 a search warrant was not obtained to get DNA from Damon's sheets  (despite Damon saying the abuse in his top bunk bed got him wet) or for Eric's computer (though he was reported to view child porn and have a sex addiction).
 The detective said she had more important cases to investigate--meaning outside the family (she mentioned a bus driver)--to bother with getting that or any other evidence which would support filing charges.  
This demonstrates the ingrained bias in the criminal justice system against prosecuting family (father) perpetrators.
Andrew Vachss, veteran child advocate says you just have to 
"grow your own victim" to get away with child sexual assault.

So, Damon's case was shunted into Family Court where the same bias against believing women and children and holding fathers accountable for sexual abuse exists.The minimum requirements by law (FC 3118) were not followed in gathering evidence about the abuse, and the evidence which already existed was dismissed and concealed. When Damon told a Chadwick Center therapist about the abuse, Damon's minor's counsel, Terry Chucas, would not allow Damon to go back to her and instead made him and his brothers go to  "insider" psychologists (Dr. Raymond Murphy and Dr. Jacqueline Gang) who helped cover up the abuse. 

Damon's mother was threatened by Terry Chucas 
that if she did not stay quiet about the abuse and allow Damon to go unsupervised with his named molester, she would lose custody and visitation until the boys could be "deprogrammed" (coerced into recanting the abuse). She was pressured to sign a document under oath saying she did not really believe the abuse occurred, which she would not do, explaining that was perjury. Judge Michael Smyth disbelieved and discredited Damon and his mother and gave Eric half time with the boys so 
Eric had even more time to sexually assault Damon. 

After two years of exhausting all legal options, Damon's mom had no choice but to flee to protect Damon.
After three years in hiding she fell for the false promise by the D.A. and family court Judge Alksne that Damon would be listened to and allowed to testify about the abuse if they came back to San Diego.
ABC News Story

See the video of another protective mom who fled: 
No Way Out But One
"No Way Out But One" tells the story of one woman and her family that is emblematic of a larger heartbreaking national scandal. In Child and Family Court systems across the country, those who abuse their children are often awarded custody of them by the very courts charged with protecting them."


Instead, even though Damon was 12 years old and willing to testify, 
Judge Alksne covered up critical evidence of abuse, including videotapes of Damon describing years of abuse to the Chadwick Center and the in chambers testimony with her.  Judge Alksne McKellar would not even have a hearing on the abuse issue.  She said she does not do sexual abuse cases. She appointed her minions--minors' counsels and psychologists--to "take the case" the way she wanted.  She said her only intention was ever to get the boys back to their father (not to listen to Damon). 

Judge Alksne did what the first judge and family courts most often do---they took the boys away from their loving, protective mother, threatened them that if they did not stay silent about the abuse they would not see each other again. Then she ordered them to be "deprogrammed" by Dr. Breffni Barrett, an expert at getting children to accept living with child molesters and placing blame on moms.  Alksne subsequently coerced the boys against their will to live full time with the identified molester, who has proceeded to bribe and brainwash them with the help of well-paid (bribed) psychologists.

Sadly, this is not the exception to the rule, but the rule:

The victim, to the contrary, asks the bystander to share in the burden of the pain. 
The victim demands action, engagement and remembering."

IT'S TIME TO HOLD OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS RESPONSIBLE 

FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN.
Picture
Damon says the abuse began when he was four and went on for many years [see Damon’s declaration].  Eric made Damon sleep with him every night where Damon said the abuse would occur multiple times, but Eric seemed to need an extra thrill too.  So he would take Damon outside at night and assault him in the canyon behind his house (where he was made to lay naked in the dirt and sticks), and in the pool (where he thought Eric was going to drown him, possibly a waterboarding tactic), and many other places, like the beer room, the shower, and the closet. 

Damon said Eric would duct-tape him to the bed and duct-tape his mouth shut so he could not scream for help.  When Damon would try and hide from Eric to avoid being abused, Eric would punish him by locking him outside all night where he was freezing cold and afraid of coyotes and snakes.  Damon was deliberately terrorized into compliance by Eric. 

Only a sociopathic child predator could do that to a child, 
which means that no children are safe around Eric.

Thousands of people have shown their support for Damon through media and email campaigns and petitions, but Judge Alksne still will not listen to or protect Damon.  She refuses to do the minimum required by law to gather evidence (Family Code 3118) and is covering up the evidence which already exists, such as the videotape of Damon reporting the abuse to the Chadwick Center and Eric being caught with child pornography.  

Judge Alksne would not permit a trial (a due process violation) on the abuse issue where all the evidence can be meaningfully considered and would not allow Damon and his brothers, Evan and Ryan, to testify about the abuse.  She has sealed the record so the public cannot see that she is covering up the abuse and put a gag order on Cindy so she cannot get the truth out or warn the public about Eric.

Judge Alksne supervises other judges who are giving children to their named abusers as well.   

Court policy is to reunify children with their rapists.  That is unacceptable.

This massive cover up of child abuse in Family Court mirrors the Catholic Church scandal. It's time for society to wake up and realize how destructive these "otherwise nice" outwardly respectable sex offenders are. 
A sex offender therapist once said that she never met a child molester she didn't like.  

Citizens must stop being duped by these evil perps.  ALL children are endangered by them. 

Statistics show that most sex offenders who molest family members also prey on children outside the family [see Murphy/Parson page and video where the father was later caught for molesting many of his daughter's school friends after Family Court gave him custody and gag ordered the mom so she could not warn anybody], and the victims often do as well (as in John Gardner's case).  
       THAT MEANS ALL OF OUR CHILDREN ARE AT RISK.

EVER WONDER WHY THERE ARE SO MANY SEX OFFENDERS?
Child molesters average 100 victims.  30% of those victims go on to victimize others.  That means every perpetrator generates 30 more perps.  Do the math. It is exponential.  No wonder there are so many sex offenders!  To save our children and our society we must start taking these cases seriously and holding offenders and their enablers accountable.

JUDGES AND D.A.'s WHO IGNORE CHILDREN'S REPORTS OF ABUSE
       AND ALLOW SEX OFFENDERS TO HAVE ACCESS TO OUR   
      CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE ON THE BENCH OR IN OFFICE.

take some time to help protect children from the
"incurable evil of sexual predators."

"I am angry at the so-called experts who repeatedly tell us that cowards like him [Gardner], violent predators who target children, can be can be rehabilitated, when all of us with an ounce of common sense know that our children are not safe and that these cowards pose an untenable risk to our kids."

Channel 10 Story on MURPHY/PARSON CASE:


Family Court Crisis:  Our Children at Risk


Breaking the Silence: Children's Stories:



BRIEF SUMMARY OF CASE [see Damon's Story for more details]:

Damon's mom, Cindy, tried to protect Damon in Family Court for two years before giving up and going into hiding.  After three years in hiding, the D.A. reviewed the case and said she believed Damon so she would not prosecute Cindy for abduction.  The D.A. and the new presiding judge, Judge Alksne, assured them if they returned to San Diego, Damon would be listened to and protected.  So Cindy and the boys returned on February 1, 2008.


                              BUT IT WAS A TRICK.

Judge Alksne later admitted her only intention had been to get Cindy and the boys back to San Diego so she could give the boys back to Eric.  She has dismissed and covered up Damon’s brave, detailed accounts of abuse by Eric and threats to kill him.  Alksne appointed minor's counsels and psychologists (court whores) to facilitate her agenda.  She has employed cruel and unethical tactics to try and get the boys to go back with their father, including taking them away from their mother and reunification therapy/deprogramming, in which Dr. Breffni Barrett attempted to get the boys to recant the abuse [see page "Reunification Therapy"]. But he was unsuccessful, so he told them they would just have to "forget about it." 

The boys have also been court ordered to see a therapist, Dr. Craig Carlson, who has also tried to get Damon to recant the abuse and has covered it up.  They are Mandated Reporters so they are breaking the law by not reporting it.  Damon's minor's counsel, Gary Plavnick, believes Damon was abused, but says it is court policy to "reunify" him with his abuser.  He has not advocated for Damon's right to be protected or to be with his mom.

The boys were told they could not see their mom unless they cooperated with “reunification” with their father—psychological coercion.  The boys agreed to cooperate so they could get back with their mother.


                       BUT THAT WAS A TRICK TOO.

Even though the boys cooperated, they were never allowed to go back with their mom and have been suffering the loss of their life-long primary bond for over two years now.  Cindy was told that she could not have custody unless she said the abuse did not happen and stop trying to protect Damon, which she will not do.

Since the boys would not agree to live with their father unless they could also live with their mother, the boys were court ordered against their will to live with him.  However, Damon has absolutely refused to be alone with Eric so he is living with guardians while Eric attempts to "groom" him into a false sense of safety and agree to live with him.

But so far Damon has been too smart to fall for the grooming trick, so Judge Alksne has now threatened to ratchet up the torture and send Damon away to a camp to “de-program” (i.e. convince him he was not abused) him.  They do cruel things at these camps to convince them to say the abuse did not happen.  They are paid big bucks by child molester fathers to do it (see article on one of these camps:  http://www.tampabay.com/news/controversial-disorder-at-center-of-bitter-custody-cases/1096619

Judge Alksne told Cindy that she would not get custody of Damon unless she stopped trying to protect him from the abuse.  Alksne has used the bogus "parental alienation" theory to justify taking custody away from Cindy. Parental alienation (and all its manifestations--unfriendly parent, danger to the children, coaching, etc.) is a dirty legal defense tactic used by child molesters and corrupt court officials to shift the blame to the protective parent (see the parental alienation page).  But Judge Alksne covered all her bases and said that Damon had a great imagination too so maybe that could account for the abuse.  Just another version of blaming the victim, which is so much more politically beneficial than holding the perpetrator accountable.

Maybe if Judge Alksne would do what judges are supposed to and have a fair hearing with all relevant and required evidence being allowed in, the truth would come out instead of being covered up.

                            STOP JUDGE ALKSNE NOW
                 FROM HURTING DAMON, HIS BROTHERS
                               AND OTHER CHILDREN 

                 RECALL JUDGE ALKSNE
