Justice for a Father
- Target: to have justice for Larkin Forney, a father and TBI survivor
- Sponsored by: artist for social justice and change, Kimberlee Forney
He is wrongfully labeled a sex offender by the state of VT, due to the lies of one of the mothers friends--who was underage at the time, but disclosed her age as 17. Kristen Place (the mother's friend) pursued him and initiated sex with him in 2002. Since his release from prison in 2005, she (the court-appointed "victim") has stalked him and filed numerous false reports and continues to lie about him in a court of law--and for some reason, they allow it.
The truth is obvious. Her lies are blatant. Larkin Forney DOES NOT deserve to be labeled and treated as a sex offender. I stand beside my brother because he has the truth on his side, and what Kristen and others have done is beyond wrong. Lies destroy lives.
What this has done is allow for the abuse of his 6 year old daughter to continue at the hands of the mother (Kristen's friend). The court (the judges) and others walk all over his rights and give him no voice in the court on behalf of his daughter. The mother is in contempt over 40 times but nothing is done....Even when her now husband tries running me over in front of my niece, nothing is done (there is a video on http://www.voicesforvermontchildren.com/) (check out the other petition for his daughter, "Abusive Mother continues, violence escalates..." )
Somebody with a label of sexual assault on a minor is not necessarily someone who has sexually assaulted a minor---in my brother's case it was consensual sex twice with a lying, sexually active and malicious teenager with motives to get him in trouble with the law.
The associated press did an article on Larkin running for State Senate in 2008. The title was 'Sex Offender runs for Senate'. He did this because he does see and want change in the system, but he also did it to expose his situation in the hopes to end the abuse of his daughter and him.
There is a picture of my brother and myself campaigning in Burlinton. I stood/stand beside my brother and exposed myself to millions of people by supporting a "sex offender" because he has the truth on his side. And the truth does matter.
This label is damaging and the way our "justice" system handles "sex offenders" is disgusting, because they don't even address the real epidemic of child abuse that starts in the home. The system and society refuse to address the epidemic of female (sexual) abusers and the lives of innocent children that are destroyed and lost because of this lack of appropriate attention. A person who molests a child (what is happening to Larkin's daughter at the hands of the mother) is a child molester.
Because of this label attached to my brother, that is what some people see him as---which is far from the truth.
They do not understand that this is a blanket label and does not describe the circumstances surrounding him or this label. Many other men are falling victim to the "justice" systems' witch hunt on "sex offenders"... and underage sex.
and because their attention is here---innocent abused children (like my niece) and those advocating for them are ignored. The state does not want "Sex offender father helps free daughter from abusive mother" to be a headline, because that would not be good business for the polititians, lawmakers, or justice or prison systems....
THIS IS NOT JUSTICE. And Larkin Forney's daughter (and many others) continues to suffer because of it.
A good study and article....

And remember, not all labels attached to someone (including others attached to my brother) explain the truth. Police and judges and others in the system are individual people....and people can and will be biased. People with power can and may abuse it--there is no accountability for those in positions of power.
WE THE UNDERSIGNED, agree that the truth does matter and that there should be justice for Larkin Forney and his daughter. Lies should not be upheld in a court of law. Those who lie in court should have consequences---and those who have been lied about should not be punished. Filing false reports is a crime and should be treated as such.
