Media Coverage: http://www.myfoxla.com/story/214 20842/lost-in-the-system-custodyfight Judge James Waltz Endangered by judge James Waltz, Orange County, CA, USA 13 PRISONERS OF CONSCIENCE AND OTHER CASES Women around the world are increasing being incarcerated in our prisons due to widespread corruption, negligence, lack of due process, violation of their rights, and discrimination against women by family courts. Maria Jose Carrascosa – Prisoner of Conscience Carrascosa In November 2006, Maria Jose was arrested by a team of 17 police agents, shackled in leg irons, and hauled before the New Jersey judge where she was threatened with incarceration of 40 years if she did not turn over her daughter. She has been held prisoner in the Bergen County Jail since then, the judge refusing all pleas to free her. Judge Edward Torack www.facebook.com/groups/854306 54239/?fref=ts In the News: Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women Maria Jose Carrascosa. numero presa -648144 P.O.

Elsa has been in prison for nine years. Her “crime” is familiar to many of you--- she heard her children alleging sexual abuse from their father and she believed them. A review of the children’s disclosures by numerous professionals confirmed that they had made allegations of horrific sexual abuse. www.justice4elsanewman.com/About_Us.html Petition: www.thepetitionsite.com/5/Free-Elsa-Newman 14 Kelly Rutherford – Punished for Being a Good Mother Kelly Rutherford The bitter custody battle between Kelly Rutherford and ex-husband Daniel Giersch continues. During a recent appearance on NBC’s Dateline, the Gossip Girl actress, 44, openly sobbed and shared her story. She said that because Giersch’s visa has been revoked, an L.A. judge ruled that Hermés, 5, and Helena, 3, must live in France with their father for the foreseeable future. “Why would you take the kids away from their mother, out of their school, away from their friends and everything they’ve known, and plant them somewhere else?” asked Rutherford, who lives in New York City. “It’s hard to even believe it’s real.” The judge ruled that Giersch must provide Rutherford with plane tickets, a car and accommodations in France. “I was on a plane three weekends a month,” she said. “I’m being punished for being a good mother and taking care of my children, and he’s being rewarded for having his visa revoked. Our kids are U.S. citizens and they have a right to be raised in the U.S.” The actress openly sobbed during the interview. “It’s crazy,” she said. “It’s like, what matters other than your babies? Nothing. What matters is that your babies are okay.” www.celebritybabyscoop.com/2012/11/21/kelly-rutherford-im-beingpunished-for-being-a-good-mother Ana Serrot – Sought by the FBI Ana Serrot Ana Serrot, the spanish woman pursued by the FBI after having been accused of kidnapping her son, explains in Antena 3 “Espejo Publico” that when she decided to stay in Spain the father threatened her, saying “If you leave me I am going to make your life impossible, I am going to become the biggest SOB, and I am going to destroy your life and that of your family, I am going to take your child and make sure you end up in prison.” www.antena3.com/noticias/sociedad/ana-serrot-dijo-que-ibaconvertir-mayor-hijo-puta-iba-quitar-nino_2013032500056.html 15 Sylvina Bassani – In Remembrance Sylvina Bassani On April 10, 2008 José Javier Lacasa knocked on the door of the home of Andrés Marzal shot him to death then entered the kitchen of this home and shot and killed his ex-wife, Sylvina Bassani. He then called emergency told them there were two dead bodies, and maybe three then shot himself to death; all in front of his 4 year old son. This child is now under the care of his grandparents who declared “We are strong for him. If you know what this child has suffered, it is incredible… He saw everything and afterwards hugged his dead mother’s body; this is how he was found one or two hours later. If they (the Spanish judicial system) had done everything correctly and with care, our daughter would still be alive today. How many cases like this are there in Spain?” Obstinada Realidad, Derechos Pendientes Amnesty International http://www.es.amnesty.org/index.php?id=3054 Anonymous Prisoner of Conscience in Spain Woman in Spain “I am a female that has been in a violent marriage in Spain, and I'll tell there is no help from the Guardia Civil, Police, Social Services or the courts. There are no investigations carried out so you are sentenced according to denouncias, anyone from the street that you never met can be a testigo. If you do not speak the language they do not offer a translator for your statement only for the courts questions to you and your answers. Then you sign maybe 10 papers or more of the legal documents and that is in a language you do not understand. You are not given a choice you have to sign and nothing is explained even when you are sent to prison as was in my case. I'm still waiting to hear from someone out there why I was sent to prison but unfortunately all the forms I signed is proof I'm guilty. Wish I knew what crime I committed to be collected from my house and not read my rights, even at the courts, forced to sign a document and that was that. If there is help out there I would appreciate it. Thank you (2007)” www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6561252&postID=10879007 5745822956 16 Case in Spanish Courts British Woman in Spain The judge walked over to me and told me "YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS" don't come back here again and ask to see anything, your files are not available to you, don't ask for photocopies, don't bother my staff, and if you don't leave right now I will call security" And she walked over to the door and held it open with her secretary by her side and the whole room of staff in silence having heard what she said. I left stunned without saying a word and was very shocked. At that moment I knew that they intend to keep me here until my death or until I flee the country with nothing. They clearly have no intention of finishing this divorce.” Case in Florida Courts Grandma Loses Custody of Florida 3-Year-old to Sex Offender Father The bitter custody fight for Florida preschooler Miranda Wilkerson ended last week when a Jacksonville judge shifted guardianship from the 3-year-old's grandmother to her father, a registered sex offender. www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/18/miranda-wilkerson-sexoffender-custody_n_901526.html?utm_hp_ref=custody-battle Prisoner of Conscience in Louisiana Mother Incarcerated in her Efforts to Protect Her Son Linda Tieuel was arrested by Caddo Parish Sherrif’s Office, Sheveport, Louisiana, on March 10, 2013 and is currently incarcerated. https://www.facebook.com/SeekingJusticeForLindaCharlesTie uelJrCj?fref=ts 17 Quenby Wilcox –“Rebel” of Conscience in Spanish Courts Quenby Wilcox Quenby Wilcox Founder - Global Expats www.global-xpats.com Email: [email protected] Juzgado de Mostoles 1º Instancia 2 JUDGES In June 2007 my then husband threatened to take away my children, all my assets y throw me onto the streets if I did not stop working on www.global-expats.com, promising he had the power to do as he promised. When I refused, his intimidation escalated to threats on my life, promises to throw me in prison or institutionalize me “drugging me up for the rest of my life….” At first I thought these were just more of his crazy ranting and ravings. Pilar Saldaña Cuesta Francisco Javier Correas Gonzalez Angel Sanchez Franco Rosario Hernandez Hernandez Skype: quenby.wilcox2 Cel. (USA) 202-213-4911 Since then, with negligent legal counsel, prejudice judges and the help of his cousin (a member of the guardia civil of Mostoles) I learned he has had the power to do as promised. My Consulates (American y French) response (champion human rights defenders….? ) have basically been “Well, if that’s what they do in Spain, tough luck for you!” My only consolation; I was not killed nor incarcerated like so many other women out there. The only thing that keeps me going day after day are my children, my desire to be re-united with them, and my promise to them. “I will do everything in my power to assure that this does not happen to other women and children.” Journal & Blog www.apadeshi.org.ar/reversion_custodia_sap.htm *************** NEGLIGENT LEGAL COUNSEL Gonzalo Martínez de Haro of Vinader, Carlos y Associados Belén García Martin Jose Manuel Hernández Jiménez (court-appointed) www.worldpulse.com/user/2759/journal www.quenby.wordpress.com Global Expats Groups LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/groups/GlobalExpats-3906296 Facebook: www.facebook.com/pages/GlobalExpats/305653496313 Twitter: www.twitter.com/GlobalExpats Jorge Capell - Cuatrecasas, Gonçalves Pereira www.cuatrecasas.com Alberto Fontes García Calamarte Safe Child International Groups LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/groups/SafeChild-International-3912973 Facebook Cause: www.causes.com/SafeChildInternational Miguel Martínez López de Asiain and Ignacio González Martínez (Alcalde de Gargantilla del Lozoya y Pinilla de Buitrago www.gargantillaypinilla.org) 18 ABBOTT VS. ABBOTT Amicus brief by DV Leap (www.dvleap.org) Diane & Philippe Diane & Philippe … Diane also became increasingly aware of how isolated she & the children were in their life abroad. For example, Philippe would not let Diane go out except to go to work, & he had insisted that the family move to a very remote area of the country. One day, Diane’s mother took her to social services where she saw a brochure entitled, “It Shouldn’t Hurt to Go Home.” Diane saw her own relationship in the description of abuse, which was the first time she really understood that she was in a domestic violence situation. At this time, Diane was planning to return abroad, & she began to try to contact social services there for support, including a women’s aid domestic violence shelter. They originally said they would help her, but then later refused & said they needed to prioritize assisting local women. During this time, Diane also learned that Philippe had not completed Diane’s immigration paperwork accurately so she could no longer get back into the country… Heather & David Heather & David … returned to northern Europe two months later. Heather returned with her children but did not have anywhere to go… Heather received public assistance as, not being a citizen, she could not work… After several months, immigration served her & her children with a deportation notice to return to the U.S. They have been living in the U.S. since then. A year later, the interviewee obtained sole physical custody of the children but still has joint legal custody with her abusive ex-husband who lives in northern Europe… Claudia & Raul Claudia & Raul … Claudia went to the police, who told her to go to the Red Cross, who told her to come back in two days when the bruises were visible, only to turn her away two days later, saying they couldn’t help her after the fact. Claudia had no one to defend her, & Raul was well-connected, both to powerful politicians & to drug dealers… Eight months after she came to the U.S., Raul filed a Hague petition & had the police remove the children from her custody… 19 Catherine & Jack Catherine & Jack … She had no money, & nowhere to live. She spoke with her local attorney & U.S. embassy staff, both of whom said they thought Christine should return to the U.S…. Three months after that, Jack was granted custody of the children, saying that Christine had violated the custody agreement by leaving the country… Jack filed a Hague petition against Christine six months later. The U.S. court ruled that Christine’s children had to return to Jack, & her appeal failed. After being in the U.S. for a year, Christine’s children were returned to her abusive husband. They have experienced physical abuse from him since their return. Christine has returned to Europe & is continuing her efforts to win back custody…. Sarah & Miguel Sarah & Miguel A year after leaving, Sarah was served with Hague papers. The case went to trial several months later, & the children were returned to Miguel. Sarah then learned that Miguel had filed criminal kidnapping charges against her for leaving with her children… In the Hague case, the federal judge ruled that those charges should be dropped. Sarah returned to the Latin American country to be with her children & began to have some limited, supervised visitation with her sons. A few months later, Sarah learned that the kidnapping charges had not been dropped….She began battling custody & property issues in family court & kidnapping charges in criminal court. Six months later, Sarah was awarded custody of the boys again, but the order was reversed one month later due to a “legal technicality.” …Sarah continued to fight for Miguel to have no visitation rights to the children because she was deeply concerned for their well-being…Sarah is now in hiding with her sons in the U.S… Janet & Marco Janet & Marco “… Once they were abroad, Janet was very isolated. She was not allowed to drive or do anything on her own, & Marco controlled all of the family finances. Marco would also consistently call Janet derogatory names. Two years later, Janet got a job outside the home. At this point, the jealousy, resentment, & name-calling by Marco increased…During the court case, there was information presented from a school psychologist that there was possible sexual abuse of the daughter by Marco. However, the judge insisted that this was not a “grave” as the children were not going to a war zone… A month after filing the Hague petition, local courts in the other country gave Marco sole custody of the children & Janet had no contact with her children for six months. …She still is not able to have regular phone contact with her children who are still living in the other country with her abusive ex-husband.” 20 Rita & David Rita & David “… Rita also sought help from a government agency for family development, but David behaved more violently after the agency became involved, & the agency was ultimately not helpful.…The judge noted that domestic violence was not relevant to the determination. The children returned, but Rita could not immediately return, because David had filed criminal kidnapping charges against her. Rita sought help in the U.S. & was able to find a lawyer in the other country who obtained temporary “immunity” for her… Rita works, & earns enough to help her afford a small house & car. Her oldest daughter, now 14 years old is in the U.S. living with Rita’s parents. Rita does not have enough money to go & see her, & is uncertain if she would be able to obtain a visa for the travel. They communicate via the internet. Rita’s children in the other country are having psychological difficulties, including showing aggressive behaviors at school.” Carmen & Rafael Carmen & Rafael … Rafael threatened Carmen twice with weapons. The first time, he held an ice pick to her stomach while holding her jaw so tightly he dislocated it. Another time, he held a gun to her head & pulled the trigger. Carmen thought it was loaded & that he was going to kill her. After that, Carmen says she decided to obey everything Rafael said because she was afraid. Rafael hit all the children, sometimes with a belt & left marks…. After they fled to the U.S., her oldest daughter reported that Rafael touched both girls sexually, although he did not rape them. He raped Carmen. She sought help from family services in the other country, but they did nothing. Carmen went repeatedly to the police, but Rafael was a former police officer, & they also did nothing. After Carmen’s youngest child was born, she asked for a divorce, in part because her oldest daughter had started standing up to Rafael when he hit her. Rafael refused to divorce Carmen. The following year, Rafael moved out for a year but came back to the house frequently & was abusive. He found a therapist & asked Carmen to attend with him. The therapist told Carmen that she needed to go back to Rafael…. A year later, Rafael’s behavior changed, became more erratic, guarded. He hit Carmen repeatedly with a doll in the face. She filed another police report, but the police would not pursue it. Rafael pushed her down the stairs while her son watched. He was three years old… Rafael’s mother told Carmen to forget about the past & focus on being his wife. It is unclear what finally motivated her to leave. Carmen had a brother in the U.S., so she came to be with him….Carmen & her oldest daughter had visas & came legally, but her two younger children were smuggled across the border by a coyote. She sought help at an immigrant women’s program & was told to file for asylum…. 21 Lindsey & Michael Lindsey & Michael … Once in the other country, Michael told Lindsey that he did not want to return to the U.S. Lindsey felt she had been “tricked” & “trapped,” especially after she had her first son… Michael ripped up her passport & the passport of one of her sons. Michael told Lindsey she would never leave again. …According to local law, both parents have to agree to get a passport for a child. Michael did not allow Lindsey to have a bank account, credit card, or money. He monitored Lindsey’s phone calls to her family… telling her ways (he could) kill her. Lindsey felt very afraid of him at this point… She had been told by others in the other country that a person could be detained in a psychiatric hospital if a spouse & a psychiatrist agreed they were mentally ill. Lindsey feared that her husband was trying to have her hospitalized & trying to win the support of the psychiatrist… Six months after returning to the US, Lindsey received a Hague petition in the mail from Michael. …She had no proof of the abusive situation she had lived through in the other country. She says that he was rarely physically abusive to her, & never hurt the children, just neglected them or did bizarre things like taking all of their schoolbooks & burning them in a bonfire. .. After losing her appeal, she was ordered to return the children to the other country… Lindsey found the only international attorney in her area of the U.S., & this was who she hired to represent her in the Hague petition. Lindsey had another attorney in the other country who is appointed by the state… but has not worked while living there, in part because the country restricts the ability of non-residents to work. Amy & Raymond Amy & Raymond ... Amy said “we became prisoners,” because they were isolated in the country, with no money & no help from the police. Amy found pictures taken by Raymond of the children naked with their genitals exposed. She talked to the U.S. consulate staff who advised her that she could go home to the U.S. for a visit with the children. …Raymond filed a Hague petition a few months later.. Amy flew back to the other country at the same time as her children & tried to get the local judge to enforce the undertakings that the U.S. judge required – namely, that criminal kidnapping charges against her be dropped, that the children receive counseling, that the father allow visitation, & that her son receive the operation for his medical problem…Has been living in various shelters in the U.S. since, she says because Raymond is continuing to harass her by tapping her parents’ phone & having her followed when she lived in an apartment. She found a new attorney through an international battered women organization & she is continuing to pursue her legal case in the other country.” 22 www.damonslist.org Damon's List is a list of family court judges, lawyers, psychologists, and other officials who are known or believed to aid and abet child molesters and abusers in getting custody and control of their victims S T A T E JUDGES GUARDIAN AD LITEMS (GAL'S) LEGAL COUNSEL PSYCHOLOGISTS, THERAPISTS, MEDIATORS VISITATION MONITORS D.A.'S, DETECTIVES, POLICE, SHERIFFS UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AL AK AZ Judge George Roy Green Judge Sharon Gleason Judge Mark Ridner Judge Jack W.
