Kidnapped from her home by a corrupt juvenile court in Knoxville, TN

We can stop her from being abused and neglected.

Target:
To Return Bella to her mother, Lisa Smith, where she belongs
This petition is in support of returning Bella Smith, to her mother, Lisa Smith. Where she legally belongs. Children can not be stolen from their homes with out trials and proof of real harm.
Bella was removed from her home without probable cause or a warrant. There were no reports of harm against the mother. Bella was taken by a Knox County Juvenile Case Manager, Stacey Turpin. Ms. Turpin said she had a warrant and did not. She removed the child out of anger. Once the child was removed, she was given to an abusive, violent father, who had been out of Bella's life, by his choice for more than a year. The father has committed several violent acts against the mother and other women, this is all documented in police records. The Juvenile Court has failed to provide the child with a safe environment. She has not had proper, continued medical attention or insurance. The father has testified in 3 Courts, under oath, that he does not give the child medicines prescribed by her Doctor. Yet, the Juvenile Court refuses to acknowledge this medical neglect. The guardian ad litem, Joseph Della-Rodolfa, never met or attempted to meet with Bella & Lisa. Yet he met with the father several times, he recommended to the court, Bella stay with him, based on absolutely nothing. GAL's are to ensure what's in the child's best interest. Not there own or what is most convenient for them. He has failed to protect Bella also, both physically and medically.
There must be due process, fair and equal treatment, and protection of Constitutional Rights, in children's cases. No one has attempted to reunite Bella with her Mother.
It sends a negative message to society and battered women, when the State chooses to prosecute women for rightfully protecting their children.
This child has been to Dr. and ER more than 42 in a year and a half, her bruises, marks, and scratches have all been documented and photographed. The child her self has stated several times, her "daddy whipped her butt, with the switch". No one has done anything to protect this child, and they have allowed the father to make continuous accusations and harass Ms. Smith's family. There has not even been an attempt to re unite Bella with her Mother.
We ask you, Judge Swann, the State of TN, the prosecutor, Leland Price, who seeks to punish Ms. Smith, to look at the facts and the law, to see the fraud that has been committed and correct it. TN has had a long, negative history in The Children's Services area, we ask that you not allow Bella to become another statistic.
Do not continue with this case, allow Ms. Smith to regain the rightful custody of Bella, and return her home, where she can be safe and loved, and most important, where she wants to be. Little girls need their Mothers.

I am a parent of 2 grown children that has asked the juvenile system to help me with my son by giving him a show of the juvenile facilities to make him understand that is not a place he wants to be, but NO HELP from them and then 3 months later he found himself sitting there in the facility charged with something another kid did and he got the blame for it....they never investigated the situation. Please allow Ms.Smith to regain her rights as a loving and caring mother. I see crack heads on the street prostituting themselves that are allowed to keep their children but they want to take them away from loving caring homes. WHATEVER!! That is NOT fair.

Judge Eugene Harrington victimizes the childrenTarget: America dont let our babies be tourtured! child abusers are more dangerous than terrorists Sponsored by: justicefortaylor Friday, February 27, 2004 Governor Signs Bill Putting Interests of Children First in Custody Disputes Under New Law, Judges Are Allowed to Consider a Record of Domestic Abuse First and Foremost in Joint or Sole Legal Custody Cases; Model, Bipartisan Measure Won Approval Following Jendusa-Nicolai Case MADISON - At a bill signing ceremony in the Governor%u2019s Conference Room today, Governor Jim Doyle signed legislation that requires judges to consider a record of domestic abuse first and foremost when deciding the legal custody of children, and allows for the denial of joint or sole custody to an abusive parent if placement would put the child at risk."This bill will help keep our kids away from dangerous domestic abusers who might do them harm," Governor Doyle said. "Teri Jendusa-Nicolai%u2019s case demonstrated the need for legislation like this, and I thank the family for joining us here today."The bipartisan legislation won final approval in the Senate within days of a Wind Lake woman%u2019s abduction and near fatal beating. On January 31, Teri Jendusa-Nicolai went to get her daughters at the home of her ex-husband. A day later, she was found beaten, bound, stuffed in a garbage can, sealed and locked in a Wheeling, Ill., storage unit rented by her ex-husband. David M. Larsen, accused of domestic violence in the past, now faces state and federal charges for the abduction and near fatal beating.Teri Jendusa-Nicolai is recovering at a Park Ridge, Ill., hospital, but members of her family attended the bill signing ceremony. The Governor welcomed them and thanked the lead sponsors of Assembly Bill 279, Representatives Terese Berceau and Don Friske and Senators Carol Roessler and Fred Risser.The Governor said the new law puts the interests of children first, undoing a change nearly five years ago in the child custody law. Language tucked in a state budget at the last minute with little notice gave precedence to joint custody and placed the interests of children second.While undoing that, the new legislation incorporates other changes recommended by the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges. In all, the changes place Wisconsin in the first wave of states reforming child custody laws with an eye to preventing domestic violence and child abuse. Under the new law, a judge can deny joint or sole custody, if there is evidence of domestic abuse. The new law presumes it is against a child%u2019s best interest to award custody to a parent who has committed a serious act of spousal abuse or engaged in a pattern of abuse.A parent can overcome or rebut the presumption by successfully completing a certified program for batterers and convincing the judge that allowing placement or visitation is in the child%u2019s best interest.Among other changes, the new law requires court-appointed guardians and mediators to receive training in domestic violence awareness and, as they handle custody disputes, look for evidence of domestic violence. They are required to report their findings to the court.finally, if a judge decides to place a child with a parent who has a history of domestic violence, the judge must take steps to ensure the safety of the child, as well as the other parent, during exchanges. Supervision by a third party may be necessary. The incidence of domestic violence cases in Wisconsin exceeds 27,000. At least 9,000 children suffer abuse and neglect in Wisconsin every year. ???????!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????

Juvenile and Family courts across this country are putting children in danger, they are committing the abuse of a child by placing children in dangerous homes with a violent parent, taking a child away from the non-offending parent. There must be reform within our juvenile and family courts, judges must be exposed to the public on their rulings, allowing such injustice to a child. I pray this child doesn't become a statistic of abuse or death.

Not only is it clearly against the law to do such a thing without legal support, but no child should ever have to be under the care of an abusive parent, especially as in this case, it is known that the father has committed several violent acts including those against Bella and her mother. This decision must be changed so that Bella can get back into a safe environment which she, like all children, has the right to. Nobody shall have to be beaten, or live under the threat of violence.

Why is it that CPS is allowed to operate under a different set of rules than anyone else? A person accused of murder has more rights than someone falsely accused of child abuse. In this country, a person is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty and has a right to face their accuser. Why has this not happened in this case or thousands of other cases? A person should have a right to see their records to put up a defense. CPS are nothing more than legalized criminals.

THINK CPS SHOULD STOP AND BACK UP AND TAKE ANOTHER LONG LOOK AT WHO THEY ARE LEAVING THE CHILDREN WITH AND EVEN WITH PLACING THEM BACK WITH ONE PARENT TAT IT IS NOT THE ABUSSIVE PARENT.

Spend the time and effort required to make sure the right people are vetted when you're dealing with children that are at your mercy! Don't just do your job staring at the clock waiting to go home. You have been put in a position that is important and has impact on many lives. This is not a blanket statement against all DCF workers. You"ll know if it's meant for you. To the one's who do it right, Thank You

To DCF: Please define how you have protected the "best interest of the child in this case" when dad supposedly has criminal abuse on his records. Can you explain? For this reason all DCF cases needs reopening. To expose the danger and harms that these silent voices endure. Once they are under your custody, these children are silenced forever. Can you please do your job and do it right. YOu already know you are not doing your job. Josefina Perez

This is totally unacceptable! This child NEEDS her mother and is in extreme danger being kept by an abusive father. How come officials can just TAKE children from their parent in a fit of anger? I cannot express deeply enough my horror and dismay at this incident. Is it indicative of how easily one can lose one's child to the state without being an unfit parent? GIVE HER BACK TO HER MOTHER!

Every child deserves to live with his or her natural mother unless the biological mother proves to be unfit. Bella needs to live with her mother in a safe,loving and nurturing environment.

Social services/family court is second in corruption only to the federal government. It is one of MANY agency's that do what they want when they want to whom they want, there is NO system of checks and balances with this agency and act many times with EXTREME prejudice. If they target you you are GUILTY until proven innocent, and many times even after you are proven innocent it does not matter to them. What they say is the rule and there SO FAR has been no one to whom you can report this to.
