My Baby Needs His Mother!!!!

  • DO NOT GIVE A VIOLENT, LYING, DRUG/ALCOHOL ABUSING FATHER CUSTODY!!!

  • 12/2005 I found out I was pregnant with my son.  
  • It took me a month to reach the father and tell him and then all he could say was "how are you so sure it's mine?"
  • 3/2006 I told texted the father that I'd heard the baby's hearbeat; he replied with "ha ha."
  • After months of trying endlessly to reach the father, I finally got a hold of him through his girlfriend.  I showed them both the Ultrasound pictures, and after the father asked again "what makes you think it's mine?" his girlfriend asked if they could have my baby for months at a time.  
  • The father asked if he could have joint custody but refused to fill out the Support paperwork or tell me where he lived.
  • I ended up getting on Cash Aid because no one would hire me at 8 months pregnant
  • My son was born 8/16/2006
  • The father never called to see if baby was born at all even after the due date of 8/17.
  • Father never called at all, and he refused to answer his cell phone when I called him in 9/2006, around Halloween 2006 and Christmas 2006.  
  • 5/2007 I visited a friend in Kansas for a month and returned 6/6/2007. I got back on Cash Aid end of June 2006 until I was able to secure a job in town which happened in 7/2007.
  • In 5/2007 Child Support found the father and requested he pay back pay to the County.  
  • The father magically remembered my phone number and called me to see my son.
  • The father saw my son 4 hours on Father's Day 2007, and 3 days of the following week - all days but Father's Day reeking of marijuana and admitting he'd been late for visitation because he'd smoked with is boss.
  • Father quit coming around.
  • I started overnights at my hotel desk job in early 8/2007 and tried once more to have the father visit my son while I worked.  Every time I dropped my son off the father was fast asleep, and he was gone every time I picked my son up; this happened 4 days.  I could only assume his girlfriend cared for my son since she was the only adult awake both at drop off and pick up.
  • 8/19/2007 was my son's 1st birthday party.  I'd asked the father a week prior to party to join and specifically made that date so the father could attend.  1.5 hrs after the party started, with my case worker as witness, father called and said "I have no gas in car and I can't come."
  • 8/21/2007 the father's girlfriend called me and said the father had run off to Reno the same weekend of my baby's first birthday party to get married to a girl he'd been cheating on her with.  She called to let me know that was why the father did not go to the party.
  • Father's ex-girlfriend kept in contact with me daily until 12/2007.
  • 12/7/2007 Father was ordered by court to pay only $82/month in Child Support.  Father stated he could not afford that much a month.  He asked judge for continuance, judge denied it because "it says here the child is already 1 and there is no record of you ever filing for custody before.  It looks to me like you only want a continuance so you can run across the street and file for custody."
  • 12/14/2007 Father files for joint custody and claims I never let him see my son.
  • 1/14/2008 During Mediation father refused urine drug test, did not recognize my son, laughed when I expressed my concerns about his residence because I'd need to know where my son would be, and when I met his demands of joint custody he admitted "That's not good enough!"
  • Mediation report was extremely bias, making me out to be a drug addict and a terrible mother while praising the father for finally wanting to see my son.  She neglected to report that father denied drug test, her own observations that father did not acknowledge my son in lobby, or that she allowed father to continuously interrupt me and never let me defend myself.
  • 1/22/2008 Custody Hearing leaned toward father.  I was not allowed to defend myself.  The judge told me to "Shut up!" 3 times, yet she asked the father "How do YOU feel about this?" and "What do YOU want to do about this?" Regardless of the fact that when she the Judge herself asked the father what his highest priority in life is: child or romantic parter, and the father didn't answer so she told him "your child."  Father got Joint Custody he wanted.  
  • Father refused to tell the judge his residence address.
  • 1/26/2008 First day of joint custody; I caught father violating the court order and when I confronted him about it, he and his mother became physically violent with me: they picked me up and threw me from inside the house, then father picked me up again and threw me off porch steps.  I had 4 teenage witnesses but the officers who came out to help me were not only 45 minutes late but didn't want to talk to the witnesses.  The officers told me it was a pointless mistake to call for police help for a court order violation and told the father and his mother they could file Breaking and Entering - regardless of fact they'd let me inside - and that I would never see my son again.  The officers refused to tell me their names.
  • Every custody exchange needed a Civil Standby because the father always screamed and made violent gestures toward me and my mother. 
  • 2/2/2008 Father and paternal grandmother spoke in hushed voices and paternal grandmother could be heard telling the father "Don't say anything, just give him back!"
  • 2/3/2008 Morning custody exchange, my son was deathly terrified to go with father and paternal grandmother.  My son clung on to me so tight that it literally took 15 minutes just to pry his fingers off of me.  My baby immediately hid his face in his blanket.  As soon as the father got in the car, he ripped the blanket and the bottle - my son's only comfort in their presence - out of my son's hands and told him to shut up.  My son was only 17 months old then.
  • 2/3/2008 My son returned from the father's mailing address (the paternal grandmother's house) with distinct finger-shaped bruises on his left ribs and remnants of a bloody nose.  I took my son immediately to ER and a Dr. Snyder concluded "Possible Non-Accidental Trauma." A police officer came out to take a S.C.A.R. report # 08-0035.
  • 2/5/2008 Officer Krause who took the S.C.A.R. report told me he had not been able to contact the father for questioning and had sent the report to CPS.
  • 2/5/2008 I called the hospital I'd taken my son to on 2/3 and told the Records dept. I'd arrive shortly to pick up a copy of the hospital report.  When I picked up the copy, it was addressed to the father, not me.  When I told this to Officer Krause, he told me in a suspected abuse situation, neither parent is allowed to see any reports of any kind and that he hadn't been able to talk to the father about the suspected abuse yet.
  • 2/14/2008 The father was ordered only supervised visitation pending the CPS investigation and that we had exactly 14 after (that day) to register with PEN, a supervised visitation agency based in Chico, CA.
  • I registered that very same day, however the father, after repeated calls to PEN to find out when visitation would start, finally registered a week late and then completely canceled visitation for the first weekend.
  • 3/3/2008 A Sheriff's Deputy forwarded an Offense Report for my arrest for concealment based on the order made 1/22, despite the fact that that order was no longer effective.  The Deputy never investigated the information, he just took the father's words.
  • 3/11/2008 I found out I'd missed a Custody Hearing on 3/10, due to a misunderstanding with the DCSS office and one of their Hearing dates.
  • 3/11/2008 Father and his wife and his friends start coming around my home at night: coming op to door and peering in windows but not knocking, sending people to walk around my house and look in windows, and calling several times a day but never leaving a message.
  • 3/13/2008 When stalking does not cease I took my son to the Bay Area to hide while I looked for Legal help.  
  • I returned to town 4/4/2008 when I'd been turned down by various attorneys.  I found a Safe House for me and my son to stay in while I found Legal help closer to town.
  • My mother, the only other Parent my son knows and the other main witness to the father's violent behavior) started meeting with the D.A.'s investigator DeWoody.  Apparently the father had been contacted but no attempt to contact me had been made when putting out a warrant.  My mother found out the warrant put out was for Child Concealment from the father's current court order, despite that the only court order I had stated the father only gets supervised visitation.
  • DeWoody investigated more and found out CPS had not finished the report - the whole report was a statement from the father, not a single word from me was in there - and had instead been sent to another County to finish, which it had not been.  
  • 4/17/2008 the father had another court date, this being now the 3rd one, without having to notify me.  This court order, which I only received a copy of on 5/24/2008, gave the father Temporary Sole Physical Custody - and the father's only reason for requesting it was because I had "moved to Kansas since (my son) was born."  Despite I have rock-solid evidence proving I was physically in this town since 5/2005 the judge still gave the father what he wanted.  
  • 4/17/2008 the father's wife posts a public myspace.com blog stating that she is divorcing him because of his drug and alcohol problem.
  • 4/18/2008 the father drives up in a yellow pick up truck and tries to run over my mother's significant other (who's also the previous mayor of my city).


  • This man who has refused and denied his first born child any true father has managed to lie his way through the Yuba County Court System of Yuba County, CA.  He heavily abused marijuana and alcohol, there is proof on paper from 4 different authoritative figures that the father has told a different story regarding his residence to every person, he abuses me for calling him on his violation and trying to protect my son, and he tries to take my son away from me - he is taking away the only parent my son has ever known and throwing my son into a place where my son is only abused physically and emotionally abused and seen his mother abused by the father.



  • PLEASE sign this!!!  I have had hardship after hardship trying to find an attorney who will help me protect my son and NO one wants the right thing to be done.  Under the Declaration of Independence, I have the Right and Duty to do what is right when there is an abuse of power, such as is happening in Court with my son's abusive father.  I should be protected under the Declaration of Independence however my son's safety is being disregarded and the father is getting his way even though every single story he tells to authoritative entities is completely different.  

  • PLEASE sign this form to help me gain custody of my son again!  I have all this rock-solid proof of everything I have ever told the judge yet she still favors the father!!!  I have my next hearing 6/9, in 6 days.  I need as much help as I can get from people around the country and even entire world to help make this public.  No one with the power to help in my town is even trying to help; they all just want their paychecks so they are taking the easy way and NOT the RIGHT way!  They have and are again PLACING MY 21 MONTH OLD BABY INTO THE HANDS OF THE PERSON WHO ABUSED SO BAD THAT HE RECEIVED A BLOODY NOSE AND OBVIOUS FINGER SHAPED BRUISES ON HIS RIBS!!  The Yuba County Court System is willingly and knowingly handing my son over to a Child Abuser/Drug & Alcohol Abuser on a silver platter and giving him all the rights in the world to my son.  I have been my son's only biological parent to stay in my son's life despite how hard it is taking care of a baby.  I AM THE BEST PARENT IN THE WORLD FOR MY SON AND MY RIGHT AS HIS MOTHER IS BEING IGNORED FOR THE EASY WAY OUT IN COURT! 

  • I NEED HELP FROM EVERYONE!  IF YOU HAVE A SIMILAR STORY OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO DOES OR IF YOU JUST FEEL THAT WHAT THE COURT IS DOING IS WRONG THEN PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION!  MY SON NEEDS ME AND AS THE PARENT WHO'S BEEN BY HIS SIDE SINCE BIRTH, I NEED MY SON TOO!  PLEASE HELP ME!  PLEASE SIGN THIS FORM!  

  • THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
  • Karee James,

    • As stated in the Declaration of Independence:   "(But) when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism (abuse of power), it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
    • The Yuba County Court has endangered the Precious Life of a beautiful Baby Boy by allowing an abusive and vengeful father custody rights.  There has obviously been a play of power by the father and it is unfair that a baby should have to go back and re-experience abuse and emotional turmoil; it is also unfair that a mother should have to watch her baby go back into the hands of his abuser and not be able to do any thing to help her child.  
    • We the Undersigned have come together to help out this mother and child in their time of dire need.  The mother has asked for help many times from many different local and non-local authoritative entities such as CPS, Family Law Facilitator, Child Support, local and out of town attorneys, Law Enforcement, the District Attorney, Senators, the Governor, and even the Media.  The mother's options for help protecting her child have either caved under the weight of this case or completely ignored her altogether.  
    • The state of Ignorance this County has showed itself capable of is astounding.  To even think that a County, with so much affirmative proof at hand, would dismiss such a serious issue as Child Abuse.
    • We the People of the United States have decided to take this action in to our own hands.  This mother desperately needs help protecting her young child.  Since the proper authorities who are able to help her are refusing, We the People are standing up Together, as a Larger People, to let it be known to the Court that in the matter of Doing What is Right vs. Doing Things the Easy Way, the Court needs to do the Right Thing.  Do not make this child go back to his abuser; even simply looking upon his abuser's face will force out emotional turmoil that no person should ever feel.  Do the Right Thing.  Let this Child Stay with His Mother, the only true parent who cares for him.

          Thank you for your time, and we hope you find room in your hearts to do the Right thing.
