Child Abductions… This is how easy it is!!! for the Government to seize your children… or for a relative to CLAIM them for their own!!!  And make no mistake about it, EVERYONE gets PAID throughout this process – by the Federal Government through Title IV incentives and others.  Even the so-called Family members… who are just as guilty as the government conspirators! CASH MONEY on the backs of our CHILDREN!

Introduction

Over the course of the last 7 years I have been asked questions that seems to haunt my daily thoughts.

“WHY DID YOU LOSE YOUR CHILDREN?”

“IF YOU WERE SUCH A GREAT PARENT, WHY WERE YOUR RIGHTS TERMINATED?”

“IF YOUR CHILDREN WERE SO HAPPY, WHY DID THE STATE KEEP THEM AWAY FROM YOU?”

“IF YOU DID EVERYTHING THE COURTS ASKED OF YOU TO REUNIFY, HOW COULD THEY STILL HAVE TERMINATED YOUR PARENTAL RIGHTS?”

The questions were fired from every single direction you could ever imagine; Friends, Family, Acquaintances, Court Officials, Lawyers and even strangers off of the street who occasionally may have overheard a private conversation I was having with another person in regards to my case.

The questions seemed to almost hurdle over the walls that I began to build after my Parental Rights
were terminated to all five of my children. The questions, acting as though they were little explosive bombs threatened to bring my very vulnerable wall down.

BUT, those questions did not bring my wall down. In fact, they actually helped me strengthen it with knowledge.

Let me explain:

Over the course of the last 6 years, I could have done a number of things because of losing the most important thing to me, my children and the ability to care for them on a daily basis or even to have regular visits and family interactions with them.

Many people in situations, such as my own, have given up because they have been told so many times that there is nothing else they can do to rectify their particular situation, therefore an entire family unit, a generation, and their communities are being destroyed.

Many people in situations, such as my own, turn down a path of self-destruction and end up homeless or in shelters, or worse some have complete mental breakdowns and end up in mental institutions and on Anti-Psychotropic medications for the rest of their lives.

Then there are the few, who feel their only recourse to drown out the pain of losing their family, is to turn to drugs in hopes of numbing the pain.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND:
I am NOT here to judge ANYONE. That is NOT my place, nor why I am writing this.

But, what I am trying to say is this:
•       Over the past 6 years, I have not fallen victim to those questions or to the situations whether they be past or present.
•       Those questions fired at me, the very ones that stung with every syllable
now fuels me to dig deeper for the truth in my case.
•       Those questions have also inspired me to change my Educational Goals and Career Path from Criminal Justice (Lawyer) and pursue Family Law Specializing in CPS and Foster Care Cases, also Specializing in the representation of Families with disabilities. I also am pursuing a second degree (a double major) in Journalism.
•       Those questions have fueled me to research every aspect of my case and others like mine.
•       Those questions have made me ask questions that have led to doors being opened.
Those questions have ignited a fire within me to finally stand up and say
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

My Voice Will No Longer Be Silenced!
Our Story…

Please Note:

That when speaking of my children I will refer to them as “My Daughter or Son”.
Keeping that in mind, because I have 4 Sons, I will put a number behind the word “son” to signify which of my children I am referring to. 1 being the eldest and 4 the youngest. Example: Son1 would be my oldest son.

I am doing this so that I can protect the privacy of my children both now and in their futures, but still tell our story.

The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth.

My life growing up was not an easy one (that is another story all in its own), but on July 7, 1997 my life would forever change and a down-ward spiral of events began to riddle my life and the damages in its wake has left a family torn.

On July 7, 1997; I was struck by an oncoming vehicle at approximately 35-40 miles per hour while walking across 8 mile at the Warren-Detroit, Michigan border. When I was struck by the vehicle there were 3 points of impact; my lower extremities from my hips down and 2 areas of my brain were affected. The accident caused several physical injuries in addition to double Traumatic Brain Injuries. The injuries were so severe that I was transported from one hospital to another; I was in need of Level 1 Trauma treatment. Due to the extent of the injuries, I was on a ventilator. According to my parents and other family members, the hospital prepared them for the worse. I was not expected to live.

My parents contacted and retained Attorney Geoffrey Fieger who then gave my case to Attorney Ven Johnson, who later became partner within the firm.

Mr. Johnson proceeded with my lawsuit and a battery of testing and rehabilitation was taking place, however, once the lawsuit agreement was signed and accepted, all treatment ceased. Because I was a minor at the time I didn’t have a say-so, and my parents were not aware that I was entitled to according to Michigan Laws and the stipulations of the settlement.

Upon turning 18, having the legal ability to make inquiries I made several calls to Mr. Johnson pursuing the issue of my treatment ceasing, he however said that there was nothing else that we could do regarding the auto accident and the claim. I did not and could not accept that, so I continued calling. I have called Mr. Johnson and Mr. Fieger on several occasions; however my pleas for help have gone unheard.

In July of 2012, I contacted AAA Insurance on my own and requested more information regarding my case and the stipulations of the settlement. Upon calling AAA Insurance, the operator that I was speaking with let me know that the only reason why my rehabilitation stopped was because my claim was in “purged” status. I asked her if they could “un-purge” my claim and if they were able to and did so, would I then be able to restart my rehabilitation services that were stipulated within my lawsuit. She advised me that I could. I also questioned the fact that my wage-loss compensation stopped well before the 3 years that I was entitled to, among other services that I was subsequently unable to receive.

AAA Insurance Company has re-opened my case due to my perseverance on the matter. My question, however is, why couldn’t Mr. Fieger or Mr. Johnson do the same 12-14 years ago, thus preventing the domino effect that occurred later on due to rehabilitation both physically and cognitively, not being administered according to the settlement?

Since the re-opening of my claim and restarting several services related to the car accident in specific, the claims representative advised me approximately 3 weeks prior to Christmas 2012 that my file at AAA Insurance has been destroyed, so they are attempting to recreate my file.

On 1/21/2013 I am scheduled for a NeuroPsychological examination to refute some of the misdiagnoses that have been diagnosed over the course of the last 15 years.

Due to the Traumatic Brain Injuries that I suffer from, the state of Michigan twisted the misdiagnoses into a reason to terminate my parental rights to all 5 of my children.

On August 24, 2006, the state of Michigan removed my children from my care with a court order that stated approximately 33 allegations. Within those 33 allegations, the court recognized that both my children and I were victims of physical, mental and sexual abuse. They also recognized that on several occasions I pursued our abusers legally and each time the perpetrators were let go with a slap on the wrist or with no legal discipline at all.

Due to the neglect from the legal system, that was sworn to protect people such as myself and my children, a type of vulnerability was instilled within not only myself but my children as well. For a long time I was open about my situation and I told people about it so that we could get away from it, but going unheard for so long my voice began to quiet down and I became a person that I no longer could recognize and it would almost would have seemed that I accepted our situation. I never accepted it.

I already knew that I had to get my children and I out of the harmful situation that we were in and before I could make my move and make things better for us, things within my family took another turn for the worse.

On March 11, 2006; we welcomed into the world Son3 who was born about a month premature. Approximately 2 days later, my daughter was molested by Jason Carter, who was my sons father’s (my abuser) friend. Upon finding out all the information about what happened and comforting my daughter, letting her know what happened was not her fault and promising her that he would go to jail for a very long time; I called the police and filed a full report and being advised to take her to the hospital, I took her to Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, who then called Oakland County Child Protective Services to report that my child had been sexually violated.

Child protective services started a case in regards to what happened. During the case I finally opened up and told the worker my plans to leave the man that I was with for many reasons related to the abuse and what happened to my daughter, I told her that you never can move on from something like what my daughter experienced, but the constant reminder of it is located within the surroundings of that home we were living in at that time. I asked her to help me obtain funding from the Department of Human Services to relocate my family, without our abuser. She came back approximately a week later with a check to move us to another home. We moved within weeks and our abuser was not with us.

We resided in our new home located in a completely different city, while being able to also move closer to family and friends so that we had a better and stronger support system, and cooperated fully with CPS. Not even 4 months later we endured the loss of my biological father’s brother, with whom I developed an excellent relationship with after an 18 year separation period; and the passing my (step) father, a man who raised me as his own from the age of 18 months.

In the month of August 3 phone calls were placed to CPS anonymously stating that there were bruises on 2 of my sons’ bodies. CPS showed up at my house and knowing that the allegations were false I allowed them in my home because I had nothing to hide from them. They stripped my children bare bottomed and inspected their bodies. At the time, I was not aware that by the CPS handling the investigation in this manner she was violating their rights and mine as a parent. An investigation involving the removal of their clothing should have been conducted in front of a licensed physician so that any type of bruising could be documented properly and a speculation of whether abuse was occurring based on the bruising if any were found. At any rate, during this caseworkers investigation and viewing my children’s bodies, there were no bruising found. Then another call was placed to CPS and according to them, they had no choice except to remove them.

During my court case, several of my American rights were violated including but not limited to:
*  The United States Constitution
*  Civil Rights
*  Human Rights: Article 8
*  Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990
*  Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973

Within the past few years, I have uncovered that the 3 phone calls that were phoned into CPS and that led to the removal of my children came from my maternal-aunt. This person, on several occasions pursued me to allow her to adopt several of my children, and each time I advised her that I was not going to do that. During the week of my father’s funeral with witnesses present she threatened to take my children from me and I would never see them again.

Now I am going to jump to the past, just for a moment…

In 2005 there was a call that was also placed to CPS approximately 3 months after the incident even occurred, I spoke with my Maternal Aunt, the woman who eventually would foster parent then finally adopt my children, I specifically told her that my son was struck by my boyfriend at the time and that I was afraid, not only for myself, but for my children as well. I asked her… I begged her and cried to her, to please take me and my children with her for a week or two, maybe help me by taking me to low income housing to apply for help. But all she would allow was taking my children for the weekend or a week. She placed a phone call to CPS, but an investigation never occurred. This woman claims to want the best for my children and for me, but she purposefully left US in the situation that caused me and my children harm. I told people, but they chose to use the information for their own selfish purposes.

During the case:

1. My aunt became friends with the G.A.L and the Foster Care Worker on Facebook. (PRINT SCREEN OF HER FACEBOOK PAGE AS PROOF WITH DATE AND TIME STAMPS) – Ethically wrong, and creates a CONFLICT OF INTEREST. Both the GAL and the Foster Care Worker should have removed themselves from the case.

2. My aunt obtained an Adoption Attorney within the first three months of my children’s removal. She also told my children that they could now start calling her mommy, because she is their new mommy among other things. By telling my children this, my then 6 year old little girl during one of our supervised visitations asked me if she could start calling me Jessica instead of Mommy. I asked her why she would want to do that, and she responded, “Aunt T says that she is our new mommy, and because you made some bad choices, we are going to be living with her from now on.” My aunt NEVER had ANY intentions on returning my children. She fought tooth and nail to keep us separated. She inflicted psychological damage on both me and my children. I thought that I could trust her in taking care of my children and supporting me in a positive manner so that my ability to rehabilitate and be reunited successfully with my children. I was so wrong. This individual, a woman who claims to want the best interest always for my children and myself, has publicly humiliated me on her Facebook page by posting untrue allegations about me, while on the stand and under oath has lied in regards to pain medications that were allegedly administered to my daughter. She stated under oath, that my daughter came to her in care with a prescription for “pain medications,” “narcotics,” she also stated that “on the medication bottle, it stated that it was for her legs.” Under the HIPAA Law, prescription bottles CANNOT display the diagnoses or what the medication is for. IF the bottle reflected that information then they would be in violation of the Privacy Act. Not to mention, I offered on several occasions, full medical reports for ALL of my children and from every single physician they were seeing. The courts refused my evidence.

3. The Judge herself, during the case recognized and put on the record that she knew that my aunt had other motives in my case and in regards to my children.

4. My aunt supported my abusers and their wants, rather than the preservation of family and proper therapeutic rehabilitation services for both my children and myself so that we would be a healthy family unit.

5. My aunt lied several times while on the stand in order to gain the ability to adopt my children in my termination. (POSSIBLE PURGERY CHARGES)

6. The Oakland County Foster Care worker cohersed me into reuniting with my abuser for the “sake” of my children and to show “a healthy family unit.”

7. Due to the reuniting with my abuser, I became pregnant again. For the first few months it was okay, then when I was 8 months pregnant my abuser slammed my stomach in the car door 8 times, causing me to be hospitalized and the baby’s life was lingering.

8. I tried to fully prosecute him to every extent that the law allowed, however the prosecution for Hazel Park, Mi dropped the case due to the fact that one of the witnesses could not make it to an interview because he had a prior obligation. And rather than the prosecution rescheduling the meeting she just dropped all the charges and my abuser walked away from the incident scott-free. I however, remained at the hands of CPS and the judicial system persecuted because I was a VICTIM, thus they in a sense re-victimized me.

9. Everyone involved in the case acknowledged that I was fully in compliance with the Parent Agency Treatment Plan, however that was not enough to bring my children home. The courts said that my employment income was not sufficient, so I obtained better jobs with higher rates of pay. Due to doing that, they considered my employment unstable and inconsistent. In the 18 months that my children were in care I managed to obtain employment that paid me minimum wage and by the time that Oakland County Circuit Court terminated my parental rights, I was making $14.00 per hour plus commission.

10. The courts said that my housing was not sufficient, however, since my children were not at home, the Judge stated on record, that she did not expect me to maintain a 3-4 bedroom home until reunification was expected. (So, how can this be a valid reason for termination?)

11. The courts said that my lifestyle was chaotic at times. Who’s life isn’t from time to time. But in my defense during my case and even now, my life has been chaotic, but not in the negative sense that the courts have defined my life as.

My life during the case consisted of:

a) Maintaining all doctor appointments PCP, OBGYN, etc
b) Maintaining all Therapy sessions
c) Maintaining my employment
(I worked 30-40 hours per week, and at times even maintained 2 jobs at the same time)
d) Attended every visit, with the exception of 1 due to being hospitalized.
e) Attend Domestic Violence Prevention classes
f) Attend Sexual Abuse Prevention classes
g) Psychological Testing
h) Drug Testing

12. I was denied a trial by jury. I was told that in cases such as this I was not entitled to a jury.

13. I was cohersed into pleading no-contest, I was told that it would speed things along and I would be able to get my children home faster.

14. I tried to start an investigation with the Children’s Ombudsmen Unit in Lansing, but the case was rejected.

15. My foster care worker, Nia Bonds, said that I was diagnosed with “Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy”, which the Judge threw out.

16. My aunt and the workers coached two of my older children into saying that I sexually violated them, 100% FALSE. However, I still cooperated and was interviewed by both Hazel Park, and Warren Police Departments. Both Departments said that they KNEW the allegations were FALSE PRIOR TO ME GOING IN THERE. They stated that they KNEW this because “the children used words well beyond their young ages.”

I paid for ALL of my services on my own, even though DHS/CPS are court-ordered to provide these things among other things under the reunification proceedings. I have several letters of recommendation, and passed all of my drug testing upon request without any hesitation.

My life now consists of:

1. I am a full-time college student that is studying for my Bachelors in both LAW AND JOURNALISM. I hope to one day successfully prevent the removal of children from homes based upon unjustified and false allegations.

2. I have maintained employment and income sufficient to maintain my own home, utilities, car, insurances, doctor visits and medications.

3.     I have maintained the pursuit of the truth within this case as well as others across the state and flowing across the country. I am constantly researching.

4.     Since the termination, my aunt has allowed me to visit with my children on two occasions.
a)      August 2011 one week after the suicide of my first 3 kids father. This visit was approximately 2 hours long, located in Milford, Michigan at the Dairy Queen on Milford Rd. At this point my aunt lied to the children in relation as to who I am to them.
b)      July 2012, I visited with my children for approximately 2-3 hours at my brother A’s house; Located in Madison Heights, Michigan, while my mother was house sitting. I was in Clinton Township at the time and I received a very unexpected phone call from my mother who at that point asked me if I would like to see my children. I asked her how and she said not to worry about that and to just answer the question. I said yes of course and she told me to hurry up and get to my brother A’s house. Within a half an hour I was at my brother’s house and visiting with my children. This time, however, I brought along my camera and allowed my 5 year old, (Son4), to snap away the camera. It kept him quite happy and also provided proof of the visit.
c)     The day after the visit, my children were requesting to see me again, and my aunt is refusing them that ability. She already is acknowledging that I am NOT a threat to them because she has ALLOWED me to visit with them and has even offered it without my requesting it.

There is much more information in regards to this issue, (please contact me if you would like to know any more information, or if you need something clarified, etc…) however, at the end of the day is this:

1.       I have been unjustly and wrongly discriminated against due to a TBI suffered as a minor.
2.      Had the rehabilitation services been properly administered, there would have been proper documentation that could legally support my ability to support and raise my children properly.
3.      By continuing and completing the cognitive rehabilitation, the Court Psychologist would not have the opportunity to “misdiagnose” me and document that I have a “underlying mental health condition”
4.      Even though I have requested, via court order, my psychological reports, based under the explanations that I want to obtain proper medical and mental health care for the conditions whatever they may be, has been denied.
a)       According to the APA, and the NeuroPsychological Association:
When a 1st party (courts) order a 3rd party (me) to undergo a psychological evaluation and upon the completion of the evaluation a diagnosis is made that the 3rd party (me) was unaware of and had not been treated for previously; It is the responsibility and duty of both the administrator of the test (psychologist) and the 1st party (courts) to properly notify the 3rd party (me) of the “condition.” This information being provided to the 3rd party can ensure that proper treatment can be obtained and rehabilitation can occur.
b)      The courts are purposefully hindering any progress that I could have made at an earlier time, in addition to that, they are continuing to hinder my rehabilitation by not releasing this information that was so detrimental to my case that it caused the severing of my parental rights and caused the destruction of my family unit.
5.      During the duration of my case while active and in court, prior to termination, it was the courts obligation, IF in fact I had this supposed mental disorder, to organize my family’s reunification proceedings to be in compliance with the American Disability Act and the Rehabilitation Act. Neither of which was ever implemented into my case.
6.      Since my accident, I have never been approved for any Disability Funding from the Government for myself and “disabilities”. IF, in fact, I was so mentally unstable, should I not then qualify for some sort of Federal or State financial assistance?

I AM A MOTHER IN NEED OF HELP.
I DID NOT DESERVE THIS TO HAPPEN TO ME.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, MY CHILDREN DID NOT DESERVE THESE THINGS TO HAPPEN EITHER.

I am a person, just like you, just like anyone else. We all make mistakes, but it is up to each one of us as to what we do with those mistakes. I have learned from the bad decisions that I have made in my past. I am pressing forward with goals implemented into my life so that I am making positive changes to my life and therefore it will bring positive things to my children, regardless of when I get to see them again, they will see a person who overcame the statistic that was assumed by a judge and psychologist that she was destined to become, according to their “Group Think” diagnoses strategy.

My children are my everything, they are my life. My children are the very breath that I take. I am prepared to fight for them indefinitely, regardless of their ages. They will know that every day that they have been gone has not been in vain or for nothing.

Every day that they have been gone, I have made a phone call, written a letter, researched laws, and obtained additional therapy services in order to make a change within myself and eventually in the future I will make a change in the way these kinds of cases are handled.

Termination of Parental Rights should be handled with much more care and discretion than what they currently are being handled and the Preservation of Family Units need to be the MAIN FOCUS of the Judicial System, instead of tearing apart families.
