My name is Allen Cheney. I am a full time father, as well as full time shift worker for a chemical company. I have had custody of our beautiful twins Matthew and Meghan for the last 2 1/2 years. They are doing well in school, and are happy and healthy in their current environment. My ex-wife who currently resides with her boyfriend, who is a convicted felon, is trying to rip the kids from the only place they have called home. Their friends are here; their family is here, as well as all their doctors. We have a preliminary hearing coming up at the end of September and my current attorney cannot represent me any more until I give her $5000 towards my $12000 bill already. I am essentially providing for two households, as I pay the ex-wife $2300 a month in alimony. She pays me $20 per week in child support. That barely covers bread and milk for the week. I just want what best for our beautiful twins and that is they continue to stay with me.
Josh and I were married in 2009 and had our son Nolan, in 2010. (I already had two older sons from a previous marriage, Colin and Landon) Things seemed to be going fairly well until I became pregnant with our son Keaton, who was born in 2011. Josh was disconnected throughout the pregnancy, as he thought that we weren't going to have any more children after Nolan. I suffered from postpartum depression after the birth of Keaton, which led to a very difficult 6 weeks following Keaton's delivery. Josh, instead of providing me with love and support, provided me with divorce papers. He also took our savings and checking accounts and emptied them, and opened new accounts in his own name. I had no money. I was on maternity leave. I was begging him for money for diapers or prescriptions for our children. I started a new job and started saving money to move out on my own with the kids. As soon as the judge ordered a temporary parenting schedule, I moved out of our marital home into a small townhouse with the 4 boys. At that time, I decided that I should really consider moving from Mundelein back to Saint Charles where I was previously living. My older two children's father lived there and we were working well together to cooperatively raise the boys. I was also much more impressed with the school district there, especially for Nolan who has a hearing impairment and wears hearing aids. 8 months after Josh filed for divorce; he began to tell me that he regretted his decision and wanted to put a stop to the divorce proceedings. I told him that I wasn't interested in working things out with him and that we needed to continue to move forward with finalizing the divorce. I also told him that I would prefer to move back to Saint Charles and have Nolan attend school there. Josh agreed that the Mundelein school district wasn't offering the kind of program we wanted to see Nolan in. In June 2013, I moved with the kids to Saint Charles. In August of that year, Josh attended Nolan's evaluation and first IEP meeting at the Saint Charles school district. The IEP team made their recommendation for Nolan to attend a 5 day a week program through their district that was much better suited for Nolan than the Mundelein program. Everyone at the meeting, including Josh and I, signed the IEP saying we agreed. Nolan attended the Saint Charles Early Childhood program for the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 school years. Josh attended every IEP review meeting and signed his name saying he agreed with the plan of service. Around December of 2013, after 18 months of Josh trying to convince me to work things out with him (divorce was final by this time) I finally was able to make him understand that reconciliation was not going to happen. During those 18 months, he had sent texts and emails professing his love for me. He gave me 5 birthday cards on my birthday telling me how much he loved me. He also gave me an infinity necklace for Christmas telling me that his love for me was "Infinite". From the day that he finally grasped the concept that we weren't going to get back together, through this very day, he has done anything and everything to punish me and get back at me. He has claimed to the court system that I moved to Saint Charles without telling him and that I signed Nolan up for the Saint Charles school district without his consent. His attorney (attorney number 5 for him) has filed a motion asking that Josh be named residential parent and the kids would attend school by him. Luckily, for me, I was able to get the complete file from the Saint Charles school district showing that he signed his name in agreement of Nolan's placement for the last 3 school years.
We had a Guardian Ad Litem appointed to our case to try to come up with a parenting schedule that Josh and I would both be happy with that would keep Nolan here in Saint Charles. He rejected the first recommendation and I accepted it. Therefore, she revised it a little, giving him one day each week to take Nolan to school because Josh kept insisting that he wanted to be involved in the education. Again, I accepted it and Josh rejected it. The judge told us to follow it anyways, temporarily, until a permanent schedule would be put into place. Last school year, Nolan missed 29 days of school due to his father's unwillingness to take him. This year, Nolan is in Kindergarten and has already missed 2 days out of seven due to his father not taking him. Not only did Josh not take him to school on his third day of kindergarten, but he took him to a kindergarten in Mundelein that he registered him for and dropped him off for the day there. Talk about confusion for Nolan!
We are now at a turning point where Josh is backed into a corner with his lies and his manipulation. I have a $4000 Guardian Ad Litem bill that is staring me in the face and I have to be able to pay her the money very soon.
I am asking for any little bit of help to be able to pay for this legal bill. I feel like I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just want to be able to raise enough money to pay for the Guardian Ad Litem and repay my attorney for all of her hard work and countless trips to Waukegan Courthouse to help me to do what's right for these two little boys.
Conner is a very sweet Staffordshire bull terrier who decided to get out of his back yard and go for a stroll on August 15, 2015. We feel that a 150-foot tall tree going down from the bite victim's yard, damaging Conner's confinement fence, contributed to Conner getting loose and running at large.
While Conner was on his stroll down the sidewalk, he encountered a male boxer, inside a dilapidated chain link fence where the gate has a leaning spread gap big enough for a Boxer or 60-to 80 pond dogs to slip in and out at free will. To make this short, Conner and the Boxer broke out into a fight inside the neighbor’s yard, the boxer’s owner possibly contributed to escalating the frenzied Dog-on-dog aggressive, territorial fight, by flailing hands and arms, screaming and yelling possibly causing the dog fight to intensify. Voluntarily the boxer’s owner took the risk of injury by either of the dogs, by intervening in a territorial dogfight between her Boxer and Conner, which resulted in a bite to her hand, a bite that just might have come from her own, unleashed dog.
The Boxer’s owner had the local Animal Shelter, come pick Conner up, claiming she was attacked by this very vicious bit bull. McKamey Animal Shelter picked Conner up and Conner went to doggy jail, the Boxer’s owner immediately hired a Lawyer to represent her, one of the free lawyers that work for a percentage of the winnings, you know the kind from T.V. advertising.
Now before you give me a lecture about Conner running at large, I do know there is a Running at large/Leash Laws in the cities of Hamilton County and Unincorporated Hamilton county, which require all dogs to be under control of their guardian's at all times. Our issue is that it’s possible that neither dog to be under control of their guardian, and most people know you don’t put your hand down into a dog fight, but Conner’s owner can’t afford representation to prove his side. Not only being able to afford representation, he is Latino with a language barrier.
Conner who was surrendered by his owner, was found to be a lovable dog, non-aggressive dog, never has been, there are no prior complaints or notices to indicate this dog to be aggressive, but the sad thing added to all this, McKamey Animal shelter has found that Conner is Heart Worm Positive.
In Chattanooga City Court (8/27/2015), the only charge was running at large.
Should Conner the Staff not survive, and he is put down because of his medical issues, all money that isn't used in legal fees and funding fees, will be donated to McKamey Animal shelter, as they have been great, doing their best to help Conner's owner, and can use the funds to help some other animal.
Funded Justice is a relatively new crowd-funding platform that
is specific to those who need help
raising money for legal reasons. Funded Justice launched in the United
States in 2014. Since that launch, they have been able to help many people with
obtaining the attorney they needed to seek justice in their situation.
Funded Justice is different from other crowd funding sites.
They will not discriminate against what your legal issue is, and they believe
everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Coupling that with the passion and
belief that justice shouldn’t cost money, Funded Justice is becoming the
premier platform for its users. Funded
Justice also helps its users with their campaigns, unlike any other platform.
From a strong social media push to crowd speaking to press releases, whatever
the staff at Funded Justice can do to help their users raise money, they will
do.
The site is very easy to use, for both the person needing
the funds, and the person giving the funds. To start a campaign, all that the
user has to do is create an account, add picture or video (if and when
available) and describe their situation. The user will then be prompted to set
up a Stripe account to allow donations to go directly to their bank accounts. Once
all of those steps are done, Funded Justice will review the campaign, approve
and launch. With the help of Funded Justice’s new technology using Stripe.com,
international campaigns can be created.
Currently Funded Justice is supporting a Canadian campaign,
“The Indian Child Welfare Act Victims Legal Defense Fund,” has set a heavy goal
of raising $5 million dollars. With technology, social media, and viral news
that goal is perfectly obtainable; especially now that FundedJustice.com has
the ability to accept international payments.
Crowd Funding for
legal fees is catching on and becoming a very popular way to get the legal
help you need. After all, we may not know one person who can afford to give us
$2000 for an attorney’s retainer, but we may be able to reach 100 people who
can each give us $20.
Hi friends and family. I need your help. I am fighting for my rights as a mother and after exhausting every option to do so outside of the courts, I have decided to humbly ask for help.
I have hesitated to resort to asking for money but without assistance, I am without options.
My daughter's father has primary residence of our child. We live in two separate states, 6 hours apart from one another.
We have a very basic custody agreement that he does not follow. As a result, the strong bond that my daughter and I have is slowly and steadily weakening. I am not as involved in her life as a mother should be due to her father's lack of attention to our agreement. In addition to not abiding by the agreement, the father has refused to communicate with me entirely and has missed a number of scheduled visits that I have had to see my daughter without providing reasonable cause.
To protect the privacy of my family, I will refrain from sharing additional specific details; however, I may choose to provide more information to those who request it.
I seek to do three specific things:
1) File a foreign judgement.
Because the case was decided in Connecticut, and I now reside in Colorado (as both my daughter and I did when the case was decided) and the father (and now my daughter) resides in Utah, I must request that jurisdiction be changed to Utah.
2) File an order to show cause.
The purpose of this is to illustrate to the state of Utah the specifics of our case and the ways in which the agreement has not been followed. It is a fancy way of saying "Here are the ways the custody agreement has not been followed".
3) Modify the agreement.
I intend on gaining primary residence with my daughter in Colorado. She attended school here for a year when we moved here in 2013. She has made incredible friends and we live in a small community that is in many ways like a giant family. I have shown that I am more than capable of maintaining the bond between my daughter and her father, as well as keeping him informed of her activities, healthcare requirements, and overall well-being.
Here are the anticipated costs of this endeavor:
$3,500.00 retainer fee for lawyer
$6,000.00 custody evaluation
$2,000.00 court related travel expenses
It is an expensive process and this is why I am asking for help. I cannot do this on my own.
Hiring a lawyer will ensure:
-Paperwork is filed correctly the first time thereby preventing additional financial burden and loss on my part.
-I am represented in court without having to be there each and every time a filing is made, or needs to be approved by a judge
-that I can miss as little work as possible, ensuring that I maintain my livelihood, thereby remaining able to support myself and my daughter
-that a legally educated individual will be available to help me navigate complicated legal terms and procedures
A custody evaluation will:
-entail a psychologist evaluating father, mother and child
-provide valuable information regarding the emotional stability of each parent and how if affects our daughter's well-being and the ability to foster a connection with the other parent
-serve to support my claims and reasons for why my daughter should reside with me primarily
Travel expenses will cover the cost in the cases that I will need to be present in the courtroom. Because we are 6 hours away from each other, I will need to travel 12 hours round trip, require a hotel room to stay in, and additional funds to cover lost wages I will endure when I am required to take time off from work.
On August 10 at 11 a.m., our entire lives changed when two officers came to arrest my brother for a crime he didn't do. My brother was playing basketball near the location of the alleged crime and his friend, who actually committed the offense, falsely claimed the involvement of my brother after he was apprehended by the police. My brother is 17 and the friend, 16; the police, who first made contact with the friend, now unjustly perceive my brother as the mastermind simply because of his seniority over his friend. For this, my brother spent 16 days and nights in jail for something he didn't do. Our family finally bailed him out yesterday with all our savings. We are now seeking to find a lawyer but the market price for the case is in the neighborhood $20,000 ; this, for a family of extremely low income, is a justice forbidding sum, we simply don't have that kind of wealth. We know that we're asking for a lot but let me remind you again, that my brother is 17. He has an entire life ahead of him. He is going to be a senior this year after which he plans to pursue an engineering degree. The false allegations against him would destroy the future of the law-abiding citizen he is. We beseech all people to help us in our fight for justice, equality and freedom for my brother. Anyone that can help afford to our family will be met with unyielding appreciation.

Mark A. Chastain was assaulted by a belligerent driver claiming to be a Law Enforcement Officer but refusing to provide any identification. The belligerent driver was wearing shorts and a t-shirt. The vehicle was not marked, did not have official plates, and was not a typical Police Package Vehicle.
The driver had been tailgating within inches of Mr. Chastain’s bumper while Mr. Chastain was passing a box truck which was in the right lane of a 2-lane interstate. The belligerent driver then attempted to pass to the left, straddling the rumble strip, before Mr. Chastain was even halfway out of the left lane.
Once Mr. Chastain was out of the left lane, the mid-sized sedan moved behind Mr. Chastain and illuminated two small flashing LED lights in the grill of the car. There was no audible siren. The headlights did not wig-wag.
Providing “benefit of the doubt”, Mr. Chastain began to pull over as required by KY Law. The belligerent driver then pulled around Mr. Chastain before Mr. Chastain had exited the right lane onto the Shoulder. Assuming the belligerent driver only wanted to pass, and knowing that the left lane was now clear, and knowing he was still occupying the right lane, Mr. Chastain proceed to retake the right lane only to discover that the belligerent driver was attempting to occupy the right lane. The belligerent driver then pulled behind Mr. Chastain again, and AGAIN, Mr. Chastain gave the benefit of the doubt, and pulled to the shoulder, Belligerent driver behind.
The driver of the mid-sized sedan stepped out wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Based on the belligerent drivers actions, Mr. Chastain did not believe the belligerent driver to be a Law Enforcement Officer, but still giving “benefit of the doubt” Mr. Chastain requested, in a very direct but non-threatening manner, “Show me a badge!” The belligerent driver refused. Mr. Chastain clarified, “Your driving an unmarked car, wearing shorts and a t-shirt, while driving like an idiot, YOU are going to show me a badge!”
The belligerent driver reached over, placed his hands on Mr. Chastain’s Throat, and attempted to CHOKE him.
Allow me to introduce myself. I am Mark A. Chastain. A 30 year veteran of the Military, and former Military Police Officer Certified to Enforce the Law by the DOD Police… Except for my eventual arrest based on false claims, this incident did not go well for the belligerent driver after he attempted to choke me. But, I assure you, all contact I made with the belligerent driver was purely defensive in nature and all strikes were intended to affect release from contact made by the belligerent driver, and were followed by attempts to step away from the conflict, and I was telling him, “Show me your badge, and I will cooperate.” repeatedly. No threats were ever made.
I called 911 as soon as possible. I was on the phone with 911 when a uniformed officer finally arrived.
DETAILS
This site is intended for people who have heard my story already through other sources.
I will resist identifying the LEA and the LEO. The agency is responsible for this mans actions, but they do not condone his actions. The LEO is just an immature, egotistical, prick who needs some discipline. He is attempting to destroy my life to rebuild his own ego.
I am being cautious with details beyond the initial contact while online. The belligerent driver has chosen to lie in pre-trial hearing, even to boldly state that at approx. 5PM, on an Interstate approaching a state capitol, the was, “No Traffic.” I almost fell out laughing at that one. He said the stop was predicated on “Improper use of the Left Lane.” but there was actually a box truck next to us while the belligerent driver was tailgating.
It is also suspected that a mutual contact is providing the belligerent driver with information I publish online. His statements at pre-trial make it evident that he has read my Facebook Page even though he is not a Friend.
I did eventually drive away, since the belligerent driver could not or would not properly ID himself to be what he claimed. He then called in an Assault and High Speed chase… some old guy in a Mercedes passed us.
When interviewed by a LEO supervisor, all the super could say to me was, “What about the blue lights?” Really… Two little flashing blue LEDs in a grill make a police officer? NO!. He got the benefit of the doubt owed him for the lights, but his arrogance and ego made him think he was privileged and above the word of the law. His arrogance and ego have led him to lie rather than take responsibility for his actions.
Choked by officer not in uniform What makes them above the law? #PoliceAbuse #FundedJustice
In May of 2015 Richard Chambless was charged with openly carrying a firearm and nothing more. This case is important for the defense of the right to bear arms and the 2nd Amendment in the State of Arkansas. In 2013 the Legislature changed the wording of the Carrying A Weapon Statute to include an element of unlawful intent and the statute now states, "A person commits the offense of carrying a weapon if he or she possesses a handgun, knife, or club on or about his or her person, in a vehicle occupied by him or her, or otherwise readily available for use with a purpose to attempt to unlawfully employ the handgun, knife, or club as a weapon against a person."
The City of Bald Knob has gone to great lengths to stifle the right to bear arms. Richard and the 2nd Amendment need your support to pay for an attorney to represent him in a jury trial to right this wrong and preserve our rights.
I am the attorney that Richard has chosen to represent him and many people have contacted me and him about donating to his cause. He asked that I be the one to set up the account. The amount set as the goal will be sufficient to complete the trial portion of the matter and all pretrial motions and hearings. Thank you for supporting Richard.
My Dad is in desperate need of funds to get an attorney and travel back and forth to Texas for continuing custody trials concerning his seven year old daughter (my little sister).
His only personal income is a monthly VA check, which isn't enough for the attorneys’ retainer or travel expenses for the hearings.
My Dad has been trying his best to have a relationship with my sister for the past several years (his wife abandoned their home and abducted my sister in 2010), but the mother has done everything in her power to keep that from happening.
The mother has been moving from one location to another to make things as difficult as possible for my Dad to maintain contact and know of my sister's medical (Type-1 diabetic - which he only recently found out about from his insurance company, not his ex-wife) and education needs.
Since Dad return from Afghanistan in 2012 he has been able to see his daughter twice and only after the court ordered the mother to allow it. Since then the mother has done everything she can to prevent him from visiting his daughter. Currently his only contact with her is via telephone - and only when the mother allows it.
His Ex-wife doesn't want my Dad to be in my little sister's life at all. She fights him every step of the way, blocks even court ordered visitation, all to make sure that he cannot have any sort of relationship with his own child.
Recently, he learned his ex was abusing my sister, called CPS and the courts and they did nothing to help - even when there was ample evidence to prove the abuse!
If he is unable to wrestle custody away from his ex-wife (she did some serious Judge Shopping), my sister will continue to be the mercy of an abusive alcoholic (mother has been arrested for DUI; has been diagnosed as alcohol dependent (by the US Army Medical Corps no less!!) and has overdosed on her prescriptions more than a few times).
He's building a good case against his ex, but the expenses for proper legal representation, investigators and travel are what's hampering him from bringing his evidence to the Court's attention and presenting a really good case for him to have custody.
Please help if you can. Help my Dad get the opportunity to be a Father for my little sister and give her the life she needs free from the pain of a needy, abusive deviant (tells my little sister that "devils" will get her if she doesn't sleep in the same bed as her mother).
Hello to all free people of the nation and to lovers of God, family, liberty, and justice. I appeal to you as a captive. I’m currently locked up behind bars in Pinal County Arizona. I was wrongfully convicted in a self-defense trial in the State of Arizona vs. Hidde. As I await my sentencing, I pray every day and rely on the Lord to watch over my family and to ask Him to move the hands of the judicial system in my favor for the minimum sentence and/or grant my appeal. I know this can take some time, but my relationship with God is very strong because he protects and strengthens the spirits of those wrongfully accused like he did when the Israelites were imprisoned, along with his disciples.
I promise not to keep you much longer, but please lend an ear for a few moments more. I am an honorably discharged veteran with good conduct awards, 31 years of age, with two beautiful daughters (9 yrs old and 16 mos old) and a wife whom I love dearly. I have no violent history. I’m not a criminal. I spend my time at home cooking, laughing, and doing what makes my family smile. I just had my one-year anniversary with the woman of my dreams. Now, I’ll tell you what landed me here.
On October 20, 2014 I drove out to the desert to watch a meteor shower and target shoot. Target shooting is something I have done since I was a young boy growing up in Phoenix. While quietly sitting in my car, I was approached by two 4x4 trucks quickly and aggressively. I was boxed in and interrogated by the driver of one of the trucks when I noticed the passenger of the same truck reach under his seat. Since I was beginning to sense a violent threat, I moved behind my vehicle in a defensive posture. That is when I saw his gun. I gave a 5-second warning and fired one shot in self-defense when they would not leave, fearing for my life. The truck then fled. I raced out of the desert to find safety and called the police. Nobody was seriously injured.
I am the only person in this incident that ever mentioned even seeing a gun and yet I was arrested. The Casa Grande police found a gun right where I said it was and never took it in as evidence (it wasn’t fingerprinted or DNA tested). The prosecution’s argument for not collecting the firearm as evidence was because “it’s not as easy as people think it is to collect fingerprints or DNA sampling”. This is what the lead investigating officer stated under oath during the trial, even though this weapon was involved in a shooting and will now put me in prison from anywhere from 5 to 30 years.
Please help me win my appeal and get back to my beloved ones, God willing, so that we can move on, look forward to the future, be happy, and be reunited again. The grounds for my appeal are several, but the judge denying the Willits Instruction to be introduced into the trial is probably the biggest. The Willits Instruction is an adverse finding against the state. This means that if the state would have fingerprinted and DNA tested the perpetrator’s gun, his testimony would have been proven false and my conviction may have never happened. The outcome could have been completely different.
This appeal is not only possible, but likely to get me a new trial in a higher court or at least give me a reasonable plea offer so that I can be released with time served. Thank you for taking a few minutes to hear my appeal.
If you know me personally or just believe in your rights and can do so, we are asking for any amount of monetary support to hire a seasoned appeals attorney to get me back to where I belong – with those who need me. Please share this with fellow Christians, self-defense believers, and anyone who can support our cause monetarily or in any other way. I will be awaiting my release from captivity with patience, fellowship, and grace from the Lord. Your donations will be like mustard seeds that can move mountains. Thank you very much for your time.
God bless,
Jordan Hidde
Matthew 5:10-12
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for my sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
When you hear stories of children being stolen, being ripped from the arms of their mother, being kidnapped you straight way think of child abusers and kidnappers and pedophiles. Well my children were stolen from me and they were stolen by Social Services and this is my story.
On November 2013, North Tyneside Social Services, UK, took my children from me. Social Worker Alison Dodds came to my house and told me that because I would be homeless in a few days, I must give my 12-year-old daughter and my baby to her, and as soon as I found somewhere to live, she would return them.
www.ukfamilycourt.com
After 2 weeks I found a new home. But the Social Services never returned my children, and never came to see the new house. Instead, they went to court to request an Interim Care Order. They used fabricated and dishonest evidence in court (of which I have proof) in order to take the children from me and place them for fostering and adoption.
It is my belief that Social Services have removed my children from my care without any justification or valid reason.
Social Workers have used dishonest evidence to remove my youngest daughter, now aged 3, and my eldest daughter, now aged 13. I have already submitted a report to the police regarding perjury, conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, malfeasance, defamation of character, and various violations of the Human Rights Act.
To justify her actions, Social worker Alison Dodds, along with other professionals, submitted a number of reports into court which were unfounded, unfactual and dishonest. Evidence for this can be found on my website, along with various other reports which can be made available. Evidence is also contained in the court transcripts, but obtaining these transcripts is very expensive, and which is one of the reasons why I am asking for donations to raise funds.
When my youngest child, Kalandi, was taken, she was still breastfeeding, so it was completely unnatural and stressful in the first month for her to be apart from me. I would see her she would cry during the contact visits, and she would cry even more loudly when she was separated from me. Of course, on seeing my baby cry, I would cry too, what caring mother would not?
However, Social Services reported that it was I who was making my baby cry, and that I was the cause of distress, yet no one would see through these lies that were being created against me. After a few visits, my baby stopped crying, but she also stopped smiling; the parental bond had been broken by the system. How could I bear to see my baby being emotionally abused and alienated, without feeling any emotion? But I could not even cry, even out in the car park, in case Social Services accused me of being mad, as they attempted to do on several occasions over the course of a year. On seeing my distress, Social Services ordered me to undergo a psychological examination, but the psychologist confirmed that I was not mad, only suffering from normal distress. I was given some medication from my GP to cope with the anxiety and distress, and this helped calm me down, when I saw my baby suffering, and prevented me from getting angry at the way the system was treating me and my children. It also made me a little less responsive to the misery and pain they were inflicting on us. During the first month, I was only allowed to see my baby twice.
All I want to achieve is a fair and impartial hearing that considers ALL the evidence; not just the lies and inaccuracies that have been submitted. This should include the very supportive reports made by the first Social Worker and my two Health Visitors – but these reports were suppressed, as you can read on my website.
Although what I have written here may seem unbelievable to many, it can all be proven through documentation. There are thousands of parents in the UK who will testify that they have suffered similar fates, and this problem of forced adoption is on the increase. One can just Google to find lots of cases and information. For example, on the website of Ian Joseph, who has helped over 200 pregnant mothers to flee UK.
The family court system is conducted under a cloak of secrecy, and parents are hushed up, with no right to have their voice heard. The and other media are starting to realize the extent of the problem, and there have been several documentaries and newspaper articles about it in recent years. There are, no doubt, genuine cases where it is right to remove children living in situations of abuse, but there is still a long way to go before justice and fairness can be achieved in what is, presently, a very corrupt.
I would be grateful for any support you could can give, to help in the fight to get my children back. You can visit my website, where you will find character references, written by three different professionals who were witness that I was a good mother to my children.
This case has been published in Brazil, in the Mogi Newspaper, and I was featured in a short documentary which was broadcast on the national program TV Record. By publishing my case in this way, I have risked contempt of court in order to prove my innocence and have my children returned. Information, videos, pictures, and some documents relating to my case can be seen on my website, and certain other documents can be made available upon request. For the first month I was not even given an opportunity to see my elder daughter Krishna, 12 years old. Krishna loves me so much. She has always been one of the best students in her class at school, because I would help her with her homework; I paid for her Gymnastic and Drama School for three years, she has been doing Martial Arts (Kung Fu) since 2008, and she has been learning piano since 2007. I was also teaching her how to draw and was teaching her Java Script. She learned HTML and CSS at 10 years old. Why does this court allow such lies to continue?
Both my children and myself have suffered significant emotional abuse, and there is no doubt that our Human Rights have been violated.
I would like to reiterate, I am not facing any charges for child neglect; I have no criminal convictions whatsoever, and I have never harmed my children in any way.
The Social Workers carried out just one parental assessment, back in December 2013. Yet my baby’s father, his parents, brother, sister in law and aunt have all been assessed by social workers more than once. The system has ignored me and has treated me though I did not exist. Even the one assessment that was carried out was done without any interview, which the first judge queried. Unfortunately that judge, District Judge Loombha, left the case and the judge that replaced him simply, judge Hudson, ignored the problem and preferred, instead, to believe the lies told by Social Services. In August, a judgment was made not to return my elder daughter Krishna, based purely on false evidence submitted by the Social Workers. Last year, I reported the Social Workers to the police six times, for their unfair and underhand practices. Receipt of these has been acknowledged by the Chief Officer of Police. I also attempted to appeal against the judgment made for my eldest daughter to remain in foster care, but the judge refused an Appeal. She must therefore remain in care until she is 18. Meanwhile, the final judgment for my three-year-old was given in January of this year: the court ordered that she live with her paternal grandmother under an SGO – Special Guardianship Order, and I was given an s91 order, which means I cannot appeal in court for three years. I am therefore applying to appeal this s90, and if granted, I will then appeal the SGO. I am applying Litigant in Person i.e. representing myself, as I cannot afford lawyers and I do not qualify for Legal Aid.
There are no words to describe my feeling of anger and loss, my desperation, and how much I miss my children and worry for their welfare. What justification does this system have to do this to me, when I have committed no crime against my children, nor harmed them, nor abused them in any way. Of course, I would not expect the court to answer this, because it cannot answer, it doesn’t care.
On reading a “parental report” written by North Tyneside County Council, Social Services division, I feel as though I was reading something written by a prison guard about his prisoner. The attitude in the report is one of bullying and harassment. As for the family court, it is nothing more than a contrivance, a system engineered to separate mothers from their children, even if they have no justified reason to do so. This is done, deliberately and maliciously. Even submissive cooperation by the parents makes no difference; once Social Services have decided to take the children away, they stubbornly dig their heels in and refuse to budge, even when faced with evidence that their decision was wrong, their professional pride does not allow them to go back on their decision.
Please help me raise funds to pay for barristers and obtain the much-need court transcripts, in the battle to get my children back where they belong, and to continue to fight this corrupt system that is bringing misery and pain to countless parents all over this country.
My licensed mental health clinic provides children and families in central Massachusetts support, stabilization, trauma, substance abuse, domestic violence, neglect and truancy services. While our main focus is to provide counseling services, we work with families to focus on and enhance their strengths; provide community linkages to maintain strides gained from our intervention while simultaneously teaching families to increase their independence of community services.
Please help me hire an attorney to help restore my standing within my company so that central Massachusetts residents can continue to receive quality mental health services.
In 1978 the United States declared the forced assimilation of Native children into non-Native homes to be illegal with the passing of the Indian Child Welfare Act. Very recently in 2014 the ACLU had victory in South Dakota where the state was still carrying on with this willful act of genocide and the practice continues in other states today, but the ACLU will not represent individual victims of this human rights violation.
This legal defense fund is for the victims of genocide that live with exclusion from family, community and culture as a direct result of individual states continuing attempts to destroy Native communities. All attempts to find pro bono representation have failed.
If you could make only one donation to any single cause, this should be the one. Now is the time to tell corporate and government sponsors of genocide that it will no longer be tolerated on North American soil, or anywhere else, but the change will be here and now.
What I need: Funding to obtain a lawyer to get me through this very difficult process. Why I need donations: Custody battles can be very expensive. What I will use donations for: Every penny will be spent on my son. Any amount left over will be donated to someone else who is in a similar situation as myself. Pay it forward.
The last time that I saw Connor was August 2014. When I dropped him off after our summer visit and we had our emotional “goodbyes” I had no idea what the struggle ahead of me would be. Parental Alienation is hard, it’s really hurtful. I feel betrayed. I feel victimized.
I want to do this the most responsible way, the best way for Connor, and a less traumatic experience for him. Once I am able to get through court I want to put my son in therapy, I want to rebuild a relationship, and I want to continue focus on his happiness.
Your support would mean a lot to me. Thank you so much! anything at all would help.
First, let me tell you a little about my daughter Brianna. She is a beautiful healthy little girl who excels at everything she does in life. She is in the 88 percentile in school and enjoys swimming, gymnastics, and cheerleading.
When Brianna was 2 years old, her mother (Andrea) and I separated and Andrea left Brianna life for drugs. When Brianna turned four her mother went to jail for selling heroin to someone who ended up dying.
Now Andrea (Brianna's mom) is asking the judge to make me put my daughter on a bus to the courthouse to visit her after not caring about Brianna since Brianna was 2 years old. I remember when Brianna turned 3 all she wanted was her mom to come see her because she learned to ride her bike and i had to beg and beg her to just come for 5 minutes to see her watch her bike. She would also steal money from Brianna.
I need to raise money to get a lawyer to fight back and keep my daughter from having to take bus to visit her mom in jail. Not only will this traumatize my child for life, her mother will just leave her again emotionally scaring Brianna for life.
They are already giving her lawyer special privileges before court even starts like a certain judge and court room she asked for.
I am a stay at home dad due to anxiety and health problems but I need a lawyer to help me fight back, so I ask if you please help me.
My husband and I have a blended family. We both have 1 child from past relationships and 1 child together. Their ages are 4, 3, and 3 months. 1 boy and 2 girls. We have a decent sized family home with 2 bedrooms and a large upstairs loft that is split into 2 living spaces. Our oldest daughter, Jayleigh, currently resides with her mother. We have discussed with her mother the idea of Jayleigh moving in with us on a few occasions. We didn't feel like Jayleigh was receiving the proper care, especially when the mother was living with her at a family members house with no water, lights, or gas for weeks. We gave the mother an opportunity to get our daughter somewhere safe and liveable or we were taking full custody of her. She moved to a different family members home. It has only been 5 months since then and they have moved again to another family members home. Each home she has taken Jayleigh to has had too many people and not enough space. For the last year we have watched our daughter be moved from place to place, living in subpar situations to say the least. Her mother has not tried to get her own place, does not have reliable transportation, has not tried to get her drivers license, and has shown no proof that she is trying to provide her daughter with a stable environment. As a result of the instability, Jayleigh is an emotional wreck a lot of the time and very dependent for a 4 year old (doesn't do anything for herself, wants to be treated like a baby). She, in general, is not cared for how she should be.
Our goal with this account is to receive help with paying our attorney fees. We want our daughter here in a stable environment where she can have her own room, in a smoke-free home (as she has breathing problems the other family ignores and continues to smoke around her) where she will be regularly bathed, fed, and cared for. We care about the best interest of our daughter and a stable, structured home is what she needs to grow mentally, emotionally, and physically healthy.
We do not have $1500 laying around to make this happen in the next month as planned. We have bills, 2 children, and paying child support on Jayleigh. Anything will help and be very appreciated! God bless everyone and may His will be done here.
My name is Shawn. I've just turned 28. I am an aspiring Musician, Chef and amateur mycologist (One who studies fungi). I have a beautiful girlfriend and a loving family. Unfortunately, like far too many others, I am currently involved in what I feel to be an unjust predicament with the law that carries serious implications.
While there are certain things I can't say without potentially complicating things, I will go over what I think is safe to review at this time. Recently, There was an accident with an alcohol lamp in my apartment and a small fire occurred. I was able to put it out and was not hurt. However, because I had dialed 911, the fire department showed up, and when they did, they were suspicious of my mycological tools and equipment. They called the police to investigate, despite my explaining clearly and politely what everything was and is used for. Next thing you know, there is a warrant.
They took thousands of dollars worth of items from my home, (some totally unrelated) as well as every cent I have to my name. I had about $3,000 I've been saving for years. This is not drug money. It's just money. Some from buying and selling various items online, some from pay checks, etc. I pay a lot of my bills in cash to the members of my family that I live with who handle them.
I am now in the process of being charged with manufacturing of a controlled substance with intent to sell. That substance is Psilocybe Cubensis, otherwise known as The Magic Mushroom, among other names. Personally, I don't feel that this is a useful or necessary priority for law enforcement. Either way, in this case, it's simply untrue. I am not a drug dealer. I'm a hobbyist, an enthusiast, and an aspiring professional.
The entire search was initiated because a syringe containing a multi-spore solution labeled as Cubensis was observed. This is not illegal where I live, even though they insisted to me that it is. It's not. It's illegal in three states, and this isn't one of them. While they may or may not have found active mycelium in their subsequent search, which is illegal, I believe their actions were fundamentally unlawful. They also went through a closet of mine and opened a sealed package of Petrie dishes that arrived while they were there (also without my permission). They tore my apartment apart and stole my belongings. My landlord is sure to kick me out if not my entire family. We have no money and nowhere to go.
I need a reputable lawyer who specializes in these matters. It's my only shot. I don't deserve this. I'm not a dangerous person or a criminal. I don't need to be "rehabilitated" or "corrected". The biggest problem I've had with drugs, by far, has been with alcohol. In that regard, I have just over one year sober, and I did it all by myself. Since that time, I have been making strides, both as a person and in my crafts. I am not a threat or a burden to society or myself. I don't deserve to be in prison and I'm not equipped to be. At all. I have spoken to a few credible attorneys and the average fee seems to be $10,000 flat.
This conviction, if successful, will destroy my life. I've worked hard to be happy. It's been a challenging and often tragic road, but I generally try to keep a positive attitude and perspective. My mother is 65 years old and she has lost two children. This will kill her. It's a needless and devastating charge. Please help if you can and are willing. Every little bit goes a long way. We are decent people and we aren't simply trying to line our pockets with free money from strangers. We just don't have it and we don't know anyone who does. This is a nightmare and we just want it to end.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Shawn
P.s. I will upload a more presentable photo as soon as I have the time and have one available to me. It's the best one I had at the time, and this is of course a very time-sensitive matter.
