Note found with 4 dead in Whitehall

Dad may have given reasons for possible murder-suicide

By Elizabeth Gibson

Police found a suicide note that appeared to be written by the father of the Whitehall family of four that officers found shot to death Wednesday afternoon, Whitehall Sgt. Daniel Kelso said yesterday….(Full Story)

_____________
F4L:  The article states:

About two-thirds of men who kill their children and themselves take their spouses’ lives as well, whereas women who kill their children seldom murder their husbands before committing suicide, according to the study.

Those are useless, and worse, misleading statistics. “Seldom” is a fuzzy dimension, while “about two-thirds” is not.  However, far more important statistics are not mentioned:

1. Men in the USA commit suidice more than four times as often as women do (USA Suicide Deaths 1979 - 1996)
2. “…a divorced father is ten times more likely to commit suicide than a divorced mother, and three times more likely to commit suicide than a married father.” (Distraught Father’s Courthouse Suicide Highlights America’s Male Suicide Epidemic, by Glenn Sacks; San Diego Union-Tribune (1/11/2002)
3. There are about 25,000 male and 5,200 female suicide deaths in the USA each year (USA Suicide Deaths 1979 - 1996)
4. In 1995, there were about 1,300 homicides of children aged less than one year to 14 years in the USA (National Center for Injury Prevention and Control)
5. Mothers commit 70 percent of fatal injuries to children (Child Maltreatment 1999, Fig. 4-3 http://www.calib.com/nccanch/chma99.pdf)
6. “Children residing in households with adults unrelated to them were 8 times more likely to die of maltreatment than children in households with 2 biological
   parents…. Risk of maltreatment death also was elevated for children residing with step, foster, or adoptive parents…, and in households with other adult relatives present…. Risk of maltreatment death was not increased for children living with only 1 biological parent” (Household Composition and Risk of Fatal Child Maltreatment, by Michael N. Stiffman, MD, MSPH, Bernard Ewigman, MD, MSPH, Patricia Adam, MD, MSPH, Robin Kruse, PhD, and Darla Horman MS; 2002 Full Article)

Going by all of that, it follows that:

1. Only an extremely small fraction of men or women who commit suicide will also kill other family members, such as their children.
2. The majority of children killed in families are being killed by their mothers.
3. Of the children in families who are being killed by someone other than their mothers, very few are being killed by their natural fathers. Far fewer of those children are being killed by a natural father who also committed suicide.
4. Women who kill their husbands or boyfriends seldom kill also their children.  The same is also true of men who kill their wives or girlfriends, while such men - if they also kill their natural children - are often given to kill themselves.
5. The article in the Columbus Dispatch was out to demonize natural fathers of children.

The latest and exact numbers for all of the statistics used in those conclusions will be somewhat but not essentially different.  I do not have enough time to find and present them.  Perhaps someone will be so good as to do the work necessary for that.  If you do, please post a comment here.

(Update 2009 02 02: Note that the date and time for the Children’s Rights Demonstration have been changed to March 4, 2009, 11:00 a.m.)

Demonstration protesting against Social services (SS). Adopting children to strangers when grandparents and extended family with a little help could have coped adequately, keeping children in a stable home environment.

A foreign national left this on the Daily Mail comments section.

“…what is wrong with you people in this country that you allow your government to get away with this?”

That comment got to me and inspired me to organise this demo. .

We are holding a demonstration on Wednesday March 4th, 2009 at 11:00am
At George Square Glasgow.  Everyone invited. “bring yer ain piece”.

Reason:-  To highlight the terrible treatment of children and their extended families at the hands of our “out of touch Social Services departments “. and to demand  fairer treatment of our children and  families and that policies, more in line with the children’s welfare and the public’s wishes are immediately adopted by all Social Service Departments, who now appear to be wholly incompetent or to be acting as a law unto themselves with complete disregard for the children’s “Best Interests ” and the UN convention for the rights of the Child.  Further, we ask that the government incorporates the New Proposals by Grandparents Apart UK for greater inclusion for grandparents and wider family members.

Article 8

1.  States Parties undertake to respect the right of the child to preserve his or her identity, including nationality, name and family relations as recognized by law without unlawful interference.

Heartless SS snatch children, alienate them from their family - usually telling them their family does not want to see them again, then adopt them out without the consent of the children’s rightful parents or custodians.

To increase their field of takers the SS now adopt to gay and single people completely against 90% of the publics wishes, the latest being a girl who was afraid of men was adopted to two gay men. (What will that do to her?) whilst extended family are classed as “not relevant “.  This  is in complete disregard of the UN Convention, which the United Kingdom  has signed but continues to flout with impunity.

A beautiful business plan for commodities, but children and families are not commodities, they are human beings and need to be treated with love, respect and kindness for them to grow into decent citizens and family units.

Children who are separated from their entire extended family lose all stability and identity and are very often low achievers in society end up turning to gangs as a substitute for family comfort and to find the stability that was torn from them by incredible decisions made by Social Workers . They can become the thugs of tomorrow or, worse yet, suffer years of state-sponsored abuse. They lose all respect for anybody. Possibly the reason citizen’s and older people are afraid to go out alone at night.

Last year a petition was lodged with the Scottish parliament petitions by Grandparents Apart UK, asking the petition’s committee to urge the government to investigate if professionals that deal with children were actually working in the child’s best interests or their own. This petition was altered by the Scottish government, to read differently, and closed.

The Government of this country knows full well the feelings of the general public but choose to ignore or cover up the shambolic and criminal state of our Social services and their out of kilter policies. It is no longer time for petitioning and being ignored, when it comes to our children only protesting will get attention.

Cowardice asks the question ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question ‘Is it politics?’ But conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right.”

F4L: The concerns addressed by the demo are over the Scottish SS having waged a two-year-long court battle, thereby exhausting the resources of a Scottish couple, the grandparents of two children, a five-year-old boy and his four-year-old sister, in their care.

They spent two years involved in court cases over the children, whose 26-year-old mother is a recovering heroin addict, and finally agreed to adoption when they were faced with mounting legal bills.

The 59-year-old grandfather, who has seven children of his own, told the Daily Telegraph: “There is no way we’d have allowed the children to be adopted if we’d known they were going to a gay couple….(Full Story)

It is a sad and grievously wrong situation when two loving grandparents are being crushed and robbed by the State of the grandchildren whom they were raising in a loving family.  There is no excuse for that abuse of power!

This is what it is all about:

“Human rights” laws are Orwellian doublespeak for giving “rights” to some people and taking them away from others.

Subject: RADAR ALERT: Where IS the Accuracy in Domestic Abuse Reporting?

RADAR ALERT:
Where IS the Accuracy in Domestic Abuse Reporting?

Recently, an ABC World News Report story by Charlie Gibson was presented as
Protecting Teens from Teenage Violence. The more accurate name should have
been How to Protect Your Daughters From Those Violent Teenage Boys.

A report issued by Richard L. Davis, MS and MA, “ABC News Report on
Domestic Violence Dating: Harmful or Helpful?”
<http://mensnewsdail y.com/2009/ 01/12/abc- news-report- on-domestic- violence- dating-harmful- or-helpful>,
shows that the media continues to present an awfully skewed portrayal of
domestic abuse, completely ignoring the need to be gender neutral in its
evaluation. Davis points to Liz Claiborne, Inc., which developed and
distributed its own A Parent’s Guide to Teen Dating Violence: Questions to
Start the Conversation.

This handbook completely ignored Liz Claiborne’s own “teen relationship
abuse survey” that clearly indicates that male teens are no more abusive
than their female counterpart s. On the contrary, the survey indicated the
opposite. Yet the handbook denotes “he” as the abuser and “she” as the
victim throughout.

Interpretation of statistics can obviously be subjective, especially by the
side who is viewing and attempting to extract a story from it. But as Davis
points out, when presenting information to the masses, it is irresponsible
to take the bits and pieces that are to your liking and throw out the rest.

Contact Charlie Gibson and the producers at ABC’s World News Report and let
them know that they need to be conscious of the bias and should present the
facts … ALL of them. You can reach him at
<http://abcnews. go.com/Site/ page?id=3271346& cat=World% 20News%20with% 20Charles% 20Gibson>

Further, send a message to Liz Claiborne, Inc. that they can’t ignore their
own research … that it dilutes the results and gives a false picture. You
can reach them at loveisnotabuse@ liz.com .

As always, be polite.

A Christian couple who say they felt forced into giving up their grandchildren for adoption said they would never have done so if they had known they would be placed with a homosexual couple.

By Auslan Cramb, Scottish Correspondent

They wanted to bring up the five-year-old boy and his four-year-old sister in their own home but said they were forced to give them up by social workers who had concerns about the couple’s age and their health.

They spent two years involved in court cases over the children, whose 26-year-old mother is a recovering heroin addict, and finally agreed to adoption when they were faced with mounting legal bills….(Full Story)

URGENT: 3-2-2009, Judicial Political Case of Persecution of Spanish Man

By A. Javier M. M

Ever since the year 2001, many men and women in Spain have been fighting against the Gender Agenda. Not one of them got a penny for their efforts.

One of those men lives in the Spanish city of Burgos.

He knows a lot of laws on the procedure of civil courts, because for over 30 years until now (Year 2008,) he has been working in a financial company as legal adviser.

He has fought against feminist groups that kidnaps children from their homes and take them to feminist bunkers [women’s shelters], not only without anyone’s permission but without any supervision from any court.

This has been happening in Burgos, a city in Spain, since 2004 .

Not one judge has ever answered to inquiries on this issue that Mr. Jesus Ayala is fighting for.

Today, tomorrow or at any time any children from the city of Burgos city and area could become victims of feminist kidnappers.

The fathers of the kidnapped children not only are not being asked, but if they assert their paternal rights they are liable to become prosecuted by the courts.

Laws on privacy of information have been contributing and aggravating factors.

The feminists who infest Spanish politics routinely publish in newspapers the names and the addresses of men who are only alleged by women to have committed crimes, but have not yet been proven guilty after a trial in court.

Mr. Jesus Ayala has taken action on this, based on the Spanish agency for private information protection, and he managed to obtain a decision from that agency that found the feminists are guilty and need to be penalized .

Another issue pursued by Mr. Jesus Ayala led him to expose the practice by the European Union to channel money transfers to the Spanish government so that their friends in Spanish women’s associations will receive it instead. Furthermore, it was found that those women associations take women into care without court orders, and that, in doing, they prevent the establishment of a proper audit trail.

When such a woman has denounced a man (signed a criminal charge against a man for gender violence), the association reward her by giving her money.

As soon as the woman signs before the police criminal charges against the man for gender violence (since 2001, psychological and “structural” violence - for instance, not giving her enough money for “her needs” - are included in our penal-code), only with that, without trial in any court, the Women’s Association of Spain grants her the status of victim.  On the strength of that she is then included in economic programs, economic subsidies, preferences to have cheaper houses specific for women, preference (over other women) to get a job, etc..

Obviously, she is also included in the statistics on abused women, and so, the women associations have more ground to request next year more money from the European Union.

The feminists cannot take Mr. Jesus Ayala out of the game through clean and honest methods.

So, back in the year of 2005, in the city of Valladolid, Spain, a women that holds a high position in the Spanish, feminist-dominated and controlled government administration (Mrs Rosa Valdeon Santiago, then in charge of Family Politics in
the local government of Burgos and Valladolid) said in a newspaper (Diario de Burgos, 13-7-2005) that “they would prosecute” all those men of  affiliated with “any specific [men’s] association…”, “for their activities.”

What happens next?

On 3-2-2009, Mr. Jesus Ayala will have to attend a trial on the City of Valladolid, following an accusation against him, launched not by any familiar, but by a fiscal (very close to a national political party, Partido Popular, an agency that has the power to manage a lot of money from European Union for women’s campaigns and gives it to friends that are affiliated with “women’s associations”), to declare Mr. Jesus Ayala legally incapacitated.

This is not happening in the Soviet Union, in 1950. No, this is happening here and now, in Spain, in the City of Valladolid.

I urge you to contact (please, be polite ) not only the Court of Valladolid, but also your representatives.

Greetings,

A. Javier M. M.
Study Group Fathers and Children
Madrid, Spain.

Contact the Court that will hold the trial of Jesus on 3-February-2009.
Phone: +34.983-22.81.01 , +34.983-22.81.02
Fax: +34.983-22.81.34.

F4L: Canada experienced similar attempts at persecuting those men whom the feminists designated to be guilty of hate crimes against feminists.  It is a modern witch hunt.  As of now, those attempts have not gone very far (see Canada’s declaration of war against pro-family- and pro-male activists). However, one Canadian Fathers Right activist sued over that and lost, even though the judge handing down that decision agreed that the FR activist had a case.

Although Canada’s system of democracy is being subverted (to progress more and more towards a system of socialist totalitarianism), things have not yet progressed as severely as they did in Spain in such a short time. Perhaps that is a misperception, as the trend here, having begun in the 1960’s, with Pierre Elliot Trudeau, then Canada’s Prime Minister, imposing the active promotion of feminism as Canada’s state-religion, was much more gradual and may well have reached (at least with respect to the progress of the implementation of the agenda for the planned destruction of the family) similar proportions as it did in Spain within about a decade.

Spain experiences a feminist revolution and take-over.  Ours is a more gradual subversion by feminism, environmentalism and multiculturalism.  Ultimately both our countries, as do all developed nations, will suffer identical fates.

Look for instance at President Obama’s declaration of the need for pay equity for women.  Women’s lower earnings exist primarily because they work on average about 20 percent fewer hours at lower-paying jobs, a matter of personal choices. (See Pay equity for women doesn’t exist?)  In reality, to pay women less than men are being paid for equal work done is a crime, by law.  Why would one wish to promote laws to enforce laws, if nothing other than to appear to be catering to women and thereby to consolidate one’s political power?

Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels and Antonio Gramsci must be laughing and dancing in their graves.

Day of Rejoicing for the World of the Swiss Fathers Rights

Dear Reader,

Yesterday was a red-letter day for all fathers in Switzerland, and especially for separated or divorced fathers.

With the announcement of a proposed law for presumptive joint custody, the Swiss Federal Council approached a long-overdue gap in the law.

By including not-married parents, Switzerland goes even much farther than many neighboring countries.  Joint custody shall not only apply to married parents but also for those who are not married, as long as the father acknowledges paternity for a child.

The proposal by the Swiss Federal Council furthermore finally envisions clear consequences for those parents who torpedo visitation rights or even deny them.

The new Article 220 of the Swiss Criminal Code is slated to contain:

Article. 220

Who removes a minor from the of custody rights or refuses to return the minor,  who refuses to return a minor to the custody of the owner of custody rights, will, upon request, be punished with up to three years of incarceration or a fine.

Unmistakeable and clear - there is not much room left for maneuvering.

The fathers’ and parenting organizations are very proud on account of the interim target that has been reached.  We managed during the past years to sensitize the public and to draw its attention to the subject matter.  We are especially proud to have succeeded in convincing the leading professionals in the federal government administration that only a radical departure from the existing system will bring about a real improvement.

The present proposal shows that our words found an ear, and that fills us with pride and satisfaction.

However, nothing has yet been gained - this is only the first draft - there are yet many hurdles before us.

We will therefore continue to work - stick with it and convince the public, the politicians and leading professionals that only cooperation can in the end lead to the goal.
However, for today we may rejoice over what has been achieved.

The following contains the original, German-language text of that translation.

Freudentag für die schweizerische Väterszene

Liebe Leser,

Gestern war ein Freudentag für alle Väter in der Schweiz, insbesondere aber für die getrennt oder geschiedenen Väter.

Mit der Publikation des Gesetzesvorschlages für das gemeinsame Sorgerecht als Regelfall hat der Bundesrat eine längst überfällige Gesetzeslücke angegangen.

Mit dem Einbezug der unverheirateten Eltern geht die Schweiz sogar noch weiter als viele Nachbarländer. Neu soll nicht mehr nur für verheiratete Eltern das gemeinsame Sorgerecht gelten, sondern auch für unverheiratete, sofern der Vater das Kind anerkennt.

Der Vorschlag des Bundesrates sieht darüber hinaus endlich klare Konsequenzen für Elternteile vor, die das Besuchsrecht torpedieren oder gar verweigern.

Im neuen Artikel 220 des schweizerischen Strafgesetzbuches soll stehen:

Art. 220
Wer eine minderjährige Person dem Inhaber des Obhutsrechts entzieht oder sich weigert, sie ihm zurückzugeben,
    wer sich weigert, eine minderjährige Person dem Inhaber eines Besuchsrechts zu übergeben,
wird, auf Antrag, mit Freiheitsstrafe bis zu drei Jahren oder Geldstrafe bestraft.

Unmissverständlich und klar - da bleibt nicht viel Handlungsspielraum.

Die Väter- und Elternorganisationen sind sehr stolz auf das erreichte Zwischenziel. Es ist uns gelungen, in den letzten Jahren die Öffentlichkeit zu sensibilisieren und auf die Thematik aufmerksam zu machen. Und ganz besonders sind wir stolz, dass es uns gelungen ist, die massgeblichen Fachleute in der Bundesverwaltung davon zu überzeugen, dass nur eine radikale Abkehr vom bisherigen System eine wirkliche Verbesserung bringen kann.

Der vorliegende Entwurf zeigt, dass unsere Worte Gehör gefunden haben und das erfüllt uns mit Stolz und Befriedigung.

Doch noch ist nichts gewonnen - dies ist erst die Vernehmlassung - noch stehen viele Hürden vor uns.

Wir werden daher weiter arbeiten - dran bleiben und die Öffentlichkeit, die Politiker und die Fachleute davon überzeugen, dass nur ein Miteinander schlussendlich zum Ziel führen kann.

Aber für heute dürfen wir uns über das Erreichte freuen.

Wanted over husband’s shooting death, U.S. woman wins insurance battle

Mon Jan 26, 4:13 AM

ST..JOHNS (CBC) - An American woman who is awaiting an extradition hearing to face Canadian charges in her husband’s shooting death has won a legal battle over his life insurance policy.

Mary Beth Harshbarger, a Pennsylvania resident, has been charged with criminal negligence causing death and careless use of a firearm following the September 2006 shooting death of her husband in central Newfoundland.

Harshbarger has admitted to authorities she shot her husband, Mark Harshbarger, 43, but that she mistook him for a bear in the darkness. They were hunting in brush near Buchans Junction….(Full Story)

Marital conflict in Augsburg: Police officer obviously beaten to death by his wife

Augsburg (ddp): During a marital conflict, a 46-year-old police officer was obviously beaten to death by his 13-years-younger wife.  According to an announcement by police, today, the man’s corpse had been found by a passer-by in a country lane in the Augsburg Municipal District.  The man had had both legs removed.  Those were found about 600 Meters away, in a pastic bag.  The 33-year-old wife was arrested a little later.

According to details by the police, the marriage of the couple had been dominated “already by long-lasting tensions”.  On Friday the wife had reported to police that her husband had left their house on foot, without mentioning reasons and without a known destination.  Numerous patrolcars, police-dog handlers and a police helicopter participated in the subsequent search.

Suspicions based on witness statements

When the body was found, investigators asked individuals out of the social surroundings of the deceased.  According to officials, that led to the wife being suspected.

The exact chain of events and the background of the deed have not yet been determined unambiguously.  According to first perceptions, the deceased died on account of massive, violent head trauma.  The couple has two children of the age of one-and-a-half and four years.  Those are in the care of the grandparents.  (German-language source)

Hi All,

This past Friday morning, a server rolled into my driveway and presented me with evidence that I was to be in Court on February 2, 2009.

I am being charged with remedial contempt of court by my wife and her attorney.  The opposition is charging that my web site, and the commercials advertising it, are an attempt to communicate with our children.  The web site in question: http://www.ourkidsmisstheirdad.com

This Hearing will be in front of Judge Ramona A. Gonzalez. Welcome back to our nightmare Judge Gonzalez!

The penalties Kathy and her attorney seek are severe.  Payment of a sum of money sufficient to compensate a party for loss or injury suffered the party as the result of the contempt of court, a forfeiture not to exceed $2,000.00 for each day the contempt continues, that I pay my wife’s attorney’s fees for bringing this charge into Court, that I pay $500.00 for every time the commercial ran, and a couple of other requests for Orders which will financially harm me - and Kathy as well.

It appears the website is something the opposition desperately wants to go away.  Judge Rosborough would hear none of it so now they’re going to try to get Judge Gonzalez to make it go away.  As one father reported to me (paraphrasing), “The people who work in the Family Courts are like vampires, they fear the light.”

I believe, at best, Kathy and Mr. Horvath’s chances for successfully finding me in remedial contempt of court resembles the success of people spitting into the wind.  I will not report my defenses at this moment, however, they are extremely sound and should carry overwhelming weight.

I am resolutely convinced Kathy and her attorney will be defeated on this charge.  It has been a long time since Mr. Horvath has won an Order that he and Kathy  sought and I look for his and her losing streak to continue (October 24th when AFCC Fleishman admitted impropriety and removed herself from our case).  That is, if justice actually works in the Family Courts.  Most report that it doesn’t.

I’m currently reading a new book by Stephen Baskerville, “Taken Into Custody - The War Against Fathers, Marriage, and the Family”. It is not fun reading this book as it details with voluminous reputable statistics the consistent horrific and horrendous treatment of fathers in Family Courts.

However, I like the book.  It starts with a quote from my all-time favorite book, “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand (many thanks to Aaron Bolstad for recommending this book):

“There’s no way to rule innocent men.  The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals.  Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them.  One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.”

The Family Court has made me a criminal for telling our children the truth, for parenting the way I see fit and not the way the government sees fit, and thus the government now has the power to judge and rule over nearly every aspect of my life.  On February 2, 2009, the Family Court is getting the opportunity to label me a criminal again for having the audacity to exercise my freedom of speech.  This is the worst thing about Family Court, it can summarily turn you into a criminal while affording you none of the rights an accused criminal has in Criminal Court.  In Family Court, many men are routinely sent immediately to jail for violation of Court Orders for which they have no means to comply.  Should the Court Order me in contempt of court, and I’m unable to pay the money requested - which I’m not, jail is likely my next address - an address I’ve been prophetically predicting for some time now.

This is how the system deals with folks like me; they lock you up, you go away, and they move on. As this is the most effective way for Kathy to realize her goal of never having to deal with me again, bank on Kathy hoping for jail as my future.  In fact, as detailed on the web site, she has numerous times informed me and others that she hopes I end up in jail - one time sending her stepsister down to law enforcement to effectuate an immediate arrest of me while I was legally at our property. Yet she constantly informs our children she wants them to see their dad - that her and other’s are working very hard to make this happen.  I’m sure she hasn’t informed Sammy and Walker that it is her goal for this “seeing your father” to happen through a phone with me, in an orange jumpsuit, on the other side of Lexan glass window. Of course, she’ll offer Sammy and Walker her patented response, “This isn’t what I wanted, this is what the Court has decided.”

Actions and consequences for a duped and defrauded father.

The following is a response to a complaint about real case of paternity fraud in the US. The names and locations have been altered to protect the victims of the fraud.

The man who wrote the original complaint is experiencing the whole gamut of the weapons of the divorce industry:

• Paternity fraud;
• Child abduction and move-away by the mother (involving an eight-hour trip - one way - by the father if he wishes to see the child whom he has come to see as his own);
• False allegations of domestic violence, to keep they alleged fathers at bay and away;
• The defrauded man duped into paternity;
• The mother of the child refuses any child access to the alleged father;
• The defrauded father has become very strongly bonded to a child who is not his, for whom he pays child support, but a child whom he no longer gets to see, and more.

If anyone reading about that case here has any good advice or pointers, please post a comment to this blog entry.

Here is my response to the man’s complaint:

Hello Bill,

Sorry for your troubles, but thanks for writing.

Don’t blame your misfortune so much on a miscarriage of justice due to your lawyer’s ineptitude as on a justice system in which the cards are stacked against you.  That is because you are a man.  The family-law system hates men.

That is nothing personal, but the more difficulties men encounter due to the justice system, the more money the players who inhabit the system and make it thrive can extract from men.  Family law grew into a social cancer.

The most important thing you can do is to get in touch with a fathers-rights organization in Flatbush, Tennessee.

It is highly likely, almost certain, that you must file your case in a Tennessee court, as Flatbush is the place of residence of the biological parents of your child.

However, do everything you can to keep the case out of family court. Family courts were a response by the legal system to the large back-log of divorce applications that occurred in the 1960’s as a consequence of the implementation of the concept of “no-fault” divorce (in whom the fault for the divorce is always placed squarely on the shoulders of the man). Family courts are not in existence to help families and to dispense justice for families.  They exist to pursue their original reason for existence: to help speed up the destruction of families.  In family courts the precepts of normal courts — to follow the rules of the courts and the rules of evidence, your right to be judged a jury of your peers, your right to face your accuser, your right to own property, your right the enjoy the earnings of your labour and your right not to be forced into indentured labour and not to have you forced into forking over your earnings to third parties — have all been abrogated and no longer apply.

You need to get in touch with that fathers-rights organization in Flatbush to learn from them what you can do to help your case.  You will most likely learn more from them than you can learn from a lawyer.  More importantly, you can ask them and learn from them how to go about finding a lawyer that can help you the best to win your case.  However, your chances of winning are slim.  That is because you are a man.  The system hates men.

That was in relation to your wish to obtain custody of your daughter.

As to what you must do to get compensation from your lawyer and to get him punished or fined for lack of action, for botching your case, and for being a bad lawyer all around, you will have to file that case in New York.  That case will have to be brought to court in New York, perhaps in New York State.

I do not know who in New York will be able to help you.  I am not aware of a fathers rights activist who may be able to point you into the right direction on that.  It will not hurt you to ask more fathers rights activist about it.

A word on your choice of lawyer in the very specialized field of family law:  Family law is not specialized because lawyers receive much training in family law (at some universities, family law is covered in no more than a day), but because it has become a sector of the justice system that, along with many other government bureaucracies nurtured by and living off it, grew into an enormously large and profitable industry that mainly extracts money from men and pretends that is justice, all under the excuse that it all is “in the best interest of the child.”

The relationship between you and any lawyer working for you is like that with any other contractor you hire. You are the boss and pay the bills and his wages.

A lawyer works for you according to your plan, your schedule, your objectives, your instructions and your supervision.  For you to miss out in any of those aspects is an invitation to disaster and much like giving the lawyer a signed, blank cheque.

Moreover, you must select and choose a lawyer like you would any other contractor.  With a construction or building-renovation project you may engage in a formal and tender and bidding process.  You would receive bids for a given job from more than one contractor.  You would evaluate the bids and pick the most promising contractor.  If you were not to do that, you would have no assurance that the contractor you hired would be the best for the job you want him to do.  If you don’t follow a similar process when hiring a lawyer, then there is no possible way that you can be sure to have hired the best lawyer possible.

As to going by the recommendation of someone who said you should pick that lawyer, “good advice” like that is cheap, and it is worth to you what you pay for it, but it may be worth more to the party offering the “good advice.”  Medical doctors pay a referral fee to other doctors who bring clients their way.  I don’t know whether lawyers operate that way, but I would be surprised if they did not.

Some general observations:

Given that your daughter is not your biological child, although you were duped into believing that she was, that will cause some special problems for you.  It appears obvious that you were duped in order to make you become involved in a strong emotional bond with your daughter.

The fact that the bond now exists lays you open to blackmail and extortion by the biological parents of the child.  Moreover, because you openly accepted the child as your own and are now even fighting for her custody and that of her sister, you are legally the father of that child and of her sister.

In all likelihood you will be paying child support until the girl comes of age or until she finishes her education, whichever comes later.  Yet, you may not ever see her again.  The “legal” system will insist that that is in the best interest of the child — not only that, but that your daughter is entitled to the level of comfort she became accustomed to while still in your care.  That means also that the child support amount will be increased over the years as your income increases.  It will be said that that is necessary because she would have the increase in the level of comfort if she were still with you, and that those increases in child support payments, too, are in the best interest of the child.

Moreover, it is relatively easy now to make you the father of not only the girl whom you believed was your daughter, but also of the one that clearly and quite openly was not your child.  That doubles the stakes in the game that you became involved in.

If the biological parents are in the state of existence you described, they will have a very strong interest in having you make those ever-increasing child support payments for as long as possible.  In fact, as far as they are concerned, the best thing that could happen would be for them to have your daughter(s) go to university for as long as possible.  They could well afford that, because you will be paying for it.

Your child support payments will be their major source of income.  It will be far better than receiving a government disability pension, and it is possible for them to use the power of the State to make sure the money you are able to pay will keep coming their way.

That will motivate the parents to refuse to hand the child(ren) over to you.  Against their resistance it will most likely be impossible for you to gain custody of your daughter(s).  The parents will have lawyers beating a path to their door to help them fight your application to gain custody.  You will be paying your lawyer out of your own resources.  Their lawyers will be paid out of the bottomless public purse.  You will therefore fight against an opponent with unlimited financial resources.

Under those circumstances it will be difficult for you to maintain the pretense that the girl is your daughter.  You will have little or no feedback from her to re-enforce your bond with her.  The question now is for how long you can keep up the pretense that the child is your daughter.  When that pretense ends, the child support you are paying will be seen by you for what it is, extortion money that you must pay because you were duped and defrauded.

If you were to consider all of that, you should then not fight for custody but for recognition of what happened.  You were duped and defrauded.  That is a crime.

You are not the father of that child, and you should fight to have your status cancelled of having been made the father through fraud.  Your legal paternity is a fraud.

If you were to base your future actions on the fact of that fraud and if you were to attempt to put an end to it, you would have a very small but slightly better chance to have your paternity declared null and void than you have to gain custody of one or both of the girls.

All the best,
