Deborah Rowe - the ultimate alienated parent?

Seems to us the ultimate alienated parent in the United States is Deborah Rowe, former wife of Michael Jackson.

Also seems to us, that although people have worked to educate the legislature and media about parental alienation, including Parental Alienation Awareness Day, there's a long way to go.

This includes members of the California State Legislature. We remember the day Amber Alerts were instituted, a California State Senator appeared on NBC Nightly News and said parents should be excluded from Amber Alerts.

We are unsure why California legislators don't quite get it, but currently the Senate Judiciary Committee a Bill 612, sponsored by Jim Beall, which would eliminate the civil rights of a parent who were alienated from their chidren, to sue.

We do not understand this as the Supreme Court in other states, have been making custody rulings which include recognizing parental alienation, for years.

Our feeling is legislators were influenced by lobbyists who are unclear that parental alienation is an action, not a mental problem. Lobbyists have deliberately mis-characterized parental alienation, with cozy names as "protective parents" or the New York based, Stop Family Violence. This worries us tremendously as we do not understand why any member of the legislator would deprive parents who were deliberately alienated from their children, the civil right to sue.

We encourage all to write to Judiciary committee and ask they kill this bill. We also encourage media to investigate parental alienation both as a litigation producing opportunity for various therapists, and judges who do not readily address the matter.

The Senate Judiciary Committee includes:

Chairman
Ellen Corbett or call her at: (916) 651-4010


Co-Chair: Tom Harmon or call him at: (916) 651-4035. Ask for Tiffany Conklin

You may call the others:

Mark Leno: 916-651-4003 ask for Barry
Dean Florez: 916-651-4016 ask for Che Salinas
Mimi Walters: 916-651-4033 Garth is on vacation, ask for for Gina Zari

NY Times Blows it - again.

NY Times Blog Headline: Buffalo Killing Puts Spotlight on Domestic Abuse

My comment critical of The New York Times article wasn't published. Thus, media contributes to the fallacy of family court...which, unfortunately continues getting people killed.

Reporters don't write that the business of government is: business. Reporters don't write judges consistently rule in a way that benefits all the players. Litigants are but a fuel source.

Media continues to play an important role in keeping the public ignorant. Editors and reporters acting on personal bias rather than information, claim Family Court is a; "he said, she said" as an excuse not to examine its mechanisms as the busiest court in the nation.

Thus media guarantees Family Court; the one court most used, most often...and for the longest period of time remains: ignored. As such reporters and editors are complicit in an unregulated, unexamined industry which routinely shatters families, family resources, and threatens the emotional stability of all concerned. Except those whose income is derived from the industry. Individuals who typically have newer vehicles and own second, vacation homes.

So much for the "fourth estate."

Media bias is exactly why FamilyLawCourts.com was founded. Someone had to out that the "fourth estate" exists only in the minds of some reporters...but remains wholly absent in the busiest court in the nation.

Although the New York Times coverage sucks in a major league kind of way...it's no more sub-par paper than any other paper in this regard.

The other problem in State Court is media ignores, immunity. Please click "Watch the video" after reading article below about another, Needless murder

Children Murdered During Custody Disputes.
Alphabetized by state, below lists parents killing their children during custody disputes. Parents Murdering Their Kids During a Divorce and Custody Battle.
Is only a partial list. Keeping it absolutely current is a little too depressing.

Stats on Family Violence. - The person most likely to kill you shares your breakfast table.


However, because of the mistakes Congress made last year in passing HR 6048, as an Exception to the "best interests of the child" - more children are getting killed. (Why Congress knowingly put children at risk by knowingly passing so dangerous a Resolution is a question no reporter has asked.)

What Were They Thinking?!

Unfortunately returning troops are ticking time bombs as they are returning with Undiagnosed cases PTSD - made worse by the VA is telling people to stop diagnosing PTSD

(Sadly one key element the Post story didn't report is that Perez is apparently, unlicensed).

Turns out State of Texas web site to document licensed psychologists doesn't list a Norma J. Perez. So how is it Perez, who is apparently unlicensed in the State of
Texas, is the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) honcha for the Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA) facility in the city of Temple, Texas?

So the questions should be: How does the VA diagnose PTSD, how did Perez get her job and just who's responsible for policing the diagnosticians?

Far be it for media to condemn itself for missing an epidemic of financial crimes and family-related murders under their nose. But one thing is absolutely clear:

Media will be INTENSE at the Oscars. After all, that's what really matters.

Major Media Misses: Parents Killing Kids Over Custody Issues.

Gradually the public is learning the single most invasive form of government is a family court judge. Below from just last week, are mostly men, who have killed their children. Why this isn't covered in national media remains a mystery.

The San Diego Transcript Does It Again

Have noticed the San Diego Transcript further blurring the lines between Ads and News.

Here's the so-called news:


"The Mirch Law Firm has opened an office in downtown San Diego to serve California businesses and individuals.

Operated by the husband and wife team of Kevin and Marie Mirch, the firm specializes in complex business litigation, appellate practice, gaming and tax law.

The firm, which has an office in Reno, Nev., provides access to federal and state courts that may otherwise be out of reach for small businesses or individuals. This is possible by providing legal services on a contingency fee basis.

"Business wants to know how much is it going to cost," said firm founder Kevin Mirch. "With a flat, up-front retainer and the balance of fees only earned if the case is successful, the client knows what to expect, rather than high monthly hourly based fees that seem never ending."

Kevin Mirch is a civil litigator with more than 26 years of trial litigation experience. He earned a Masters of Law in Taxation from New York University, a Juris Doctorate degree from Santa Clara University and also is a CPA licensed in Nevada.

Marie Mirch has nine years of experience in state and federal courts in California and Nevada, including civil business litigation, and federal and state appeals.

FRIVOLOUS LITIGATION

Ex-Supreme Court candidate disbarred

Former Nevada Supreme Court candidate Kevin Mirch has been disbarred by the high court for what it said was a pattern of misconduct involving frivolous litigation.

The court upheld a finding of the Northern Nevada Disciplinary Board of the State Bar of Nevada that Mirch, a Reno attorney, filed a frivolous lawsuit against an attorney with the McDonald, Carano & Wilson law firm with the intent to "interfere and harass" the firm and its representation of one of Mirch's former clients.

Mirch can petition the court for reinstatement after three years.

Mirch was a candidate for the Supreme Court in 2004 for the seat being vacated by Justice Miriam Shearing.

Justice Jim Hardesty, then a Washoe County judge who had referred the matter involving Mirch to the State Bar for a disciplinary investigation, won the high court seat.

Hardesty did not participate in the order disbarring Mirch.

Mirch also previously ran for the Assembly.

Mirch raised several issues with the court over the disciplinary board's recommendation, including a violation of his due process rights.

The court rejected all of his claims in its order Thursday.

Alec Baldwin - the hits just keep on coming

At the risk of being lynched - Alec Baldwin is the voice of Parental Alienation.
Kim Bassinger's hatred of her ex-husband, allowed her to humiliate her daughter on an international scale.

Details at www.FamilyLawCourts.com - Parental Alienation Awareness Day is April 25, 2007.

Expect mainstream media to continue to ignore the one court most often used by the public for the longest period of time. So much for a "watch dog press" eh?

Many parents are themselves victims of parental alienation and these parents understand where he's coming from. Parental alienation takes two victims; the child, and the targeted parent. Unfortunately, Bassinger has won.

Best for Ireland? That Dad and daughter are ordered to Joint counseling. Any time away from her Increases the alienation and delights the parent engineering the brainwashing of the child. Unfortunately, the usual judicial response is to heighten the alienation by Reducing the time. . .which was Exactly what happened.

Point to Bassinger.

(All that and no one bothers examining the surrogate programmers, such as school officials and some therapists.)

Alec desperately needs counseling with his daughter. The alienation is allowing him through heartbreak, to destroy a part of himself, and what remains of the Father-Daughter relationship.

My understanding of parental alienation is the reason I was interviewed on air after both Elizabeth Smart and Shawn Hornbeck initially didn't appear particularly thrilled to be rescued from the captors.

(Also, I was the first to investigate and publish that Richard Gardner*, the creator of Parental Alienation Syndrome, committed suicide. His family released a statement that he died in his sleep. By the way, April 25 is Parental Alienation Awareness Day. Details of two state governor's on this is on the site.)

* Gardner made a fortune testifying at child abuse trials. Claims of abuse were defended with Gardner stating "She's trying to alienate me from my child" and judges never got around to looking at evidence. They simply responded in boot jack manner by awarding custody to the person responsible for the child's injuries. Often mother's who reported abuse were accused of alienation and sentenced to "supervised visitation." The crimes against the child were never investigated.

And that's Family Court; which is also rife with fake lawyers and therapists. I've exposed both. Susan Griffin a fake San Diego therapist, (fined by the State - and yet...judges continue sentencing litigants to her visitation agency).

Then there's Ron Lais, now serving 14 years for continuing to practice law on the Internet after the State forced his resignation.

Judge Duncan, having picked litigants dry - now writes a book.

Too savage for business school, ignoring he was a huge part of the problem, and yet after a lifetime of allowing attorneys to feast on the bones and bank accounts of anyone in his court; Judge Roderic Duncan now decides he wants a piece of the divorce industry pie. Duncan figures to cash in with PRE-litigants; for dessert.

Duncan's pr person writes;

"Judge Blasts Divorce Court in Nolo Book"

BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--“Whatever you do, try to keep your case out of divorce court — the system stinks,” writes Judge Roderic Duncan in A Judge’s Guide to Divorce: Uncommon Advice from the Bench, new from Nolo. “But if your spouse won’t cooperate and you must go, here’s everything you need to know about surviving the ordeal.”

The veteran divorce-court judge reveals court as a clumsy tool for breaking up a family. It’s adversarial, intrusive and costly. When the law and fairness don’t jive, the judge must side with the law. And when the couple has children, the courtroom experience makes long-term enemies of the two people most important to the kids.

So Duncan recommends you and your spouse reach your own agreements..."

****

In the "Is this guy for real?" Department: we sadly respond with a resounding "Yes."

Duncan's utterly real and he wants your money. Don't buy it. Ask your librarian (you remember libraries don't you?) to order a copy if you feel you must read it.

But our email history suggests the author was as depraved a judge as the litigants he now sneers about in his book.

In fact, it was Duncan who wrote a scathing letter to attacking litigants after his friend, Judge Michael, "You-Scratch-My-Back-I'll-Scratch-Yours" Dufficy (we're not kidding. Dufficy presented attorneys invited to his ranch/camp home with T-shirts made with this slogan), after Dufficy was outed in a San Francisco publication in an article titled;

"Virtual Visitation" - Stop the hype

Today I read a story on cutting edge visitation.

The first article I read on this was Feburary 24, 2002, quoting NY attorney, Barbara Handschu, who trilled it as "cutting edge."

Today, read roughly the same thing on an attorney's blog.

The attorney seemed nice enough, but please. It's not "virtual visitation." It's an email.
Sometimes with pictures. Moving pictures. But it is Not "virtual visitation." There is no such thing.

However, for some reason this struck me as right up there with attorney ads to "Update your prenup," - keep me in the loop!
