101 9:33 am PDT, Mar 21 Peter Over Denmark I have three children and am being denied access to them. My wife, who herself was abused as a child, will not allow me access to them. I have found that all organisations who deal with the courts in relation to children are run by women. The world of equal rights is just not a reality until men have the same rights as a woman.

97 7:00 am PDT, Mar 17 Denis Lewis United Kingdom I personally think that NSPCC is a greedy two faced charity that cause misery and line their own pockets with blinded public donations, whilst their highly paid staff drive around in posh car and buy big houses!! don't believe me, why dont you ask the NSPCC to supply you with the salaries that all there staff are on? The fact is they are using children and abused children to line their pockets of rich donations and nobody can see it!! hello some-one wake up and smell the roses here.

93 4:20 am PST, Jan 22 Jacklyn Barton United States There should be contact between a child and the parent as well as a child and the person who has been acting as a parent for the most substantial time and this should be the child's right to continue that relationship and if the child has been consulted of whether he or she wishes to continue a relationship with the parent or person acting a parent this consultation should be tape recorded and presented in court instead of the word of an ad litem or CPS person. Case# D438066 Parties: Jacklyn R. Barton, Theodore L. Barton, Diane T. Petty, Katharyn T. Petty, Craig A. Barton. Complaint on Guardian Ad litem Terry Chucas, Guardian Ad litem Edlene C. Mckenzie, David B. Oberholtzer. San Diego Family Court Dept F5 is a very pathetic court and you will be offended with the childish behaviors of those appointed over us to run our personal lives, our personal lives that we have governed better, than these administrators have governed their own professional lives. Total reform is necessary, read on the following is a similar letter sent to the U.S. FBI. February 1, 2005 Judge David B. Oberholtzer called Ted and Jacklyn Barton Littlebug's parent's and was ready to send Littlebug home to Missouri but Richard M. Peterson said his client Katharyn Petty the birth Mother would find someone responsible to get Littlebug to school and pick her up as well as ensure her lunches if Littlebug could stay at Gage school until the time of court. February 10, 2005 Edlene McKenzie the ad-litim called and she told Barton's that they were pretty much classified as Littlebug's parents since they pretty much raised her. Ed-lene said in her 12 years with child abuse and part time judge since 98 most of her cases were sad but this one was tragic. March 30, 2005 Judge David B. Oberholtzer said Ted and Jacklyn Barton was Littlebug's parents. April 19, 2005 Edlene C. Mckenzie left Missouri with her hands on an altered email with the testimony of Barton's faith given to her by Barton's son Craig the father of Littlebug. April 28th, 2005 at 5:07 P.M. Barton's attorney, (Mr. Marshall) called back. Mr. Marshall had attended a delegation party with all counsel and the third party's John & Jennifer Iden Liss.He said the ad-litim Edlene C. Mckenzie was pushing really hard on the Day care center people, (Liss's) to come in on our case. Mr. Marshall said they did not have proper insurance and he heavily stressed to these daycare people how much it cost to raise a child and do you have the financial ability to do that? May 2, 2005 there was a secret exparte hearing that Barton's were not invited to nor made aware of until they received the billing long after May 4, 2005 court hearing from Thomas Marshall for his appearance at this May 2, 2006 exparte hearing. May 3, 2005 Barton's received Edlene C. Mckenzie's report and had one day to gather evidence to present to Judge David B. Oberholtzer, showing Edlene C. Mckenzie had published fraud in her report. Luckly Barton's had their June 8, 2004 dismissal transcripts from their first commencement in St. Joseph to show that their hearing was sent to California due to jurisdiction, not the defamation Edlene C. Mckenzie was trying to get away with. Upon receiving the guardian ad litem's report Ted and Jacklyn Barton should have had 15 to 21 days to subpoena Edlene C. Mckenzie's records to cross-examine the ad litem. May 4, 2005, San Diego Family court appointed guardian ad litem, ( Edlene C. Mckenzie ) wrote in her May 4, 2005 recommendation that Ted & Jacklyn Barton were unable to reason due to their beliefs which are Catholic and Presbyterian and during court Judge David B. Oberholtzer called the Barton's eccentric, counsel Richard Merriam Peterson called Barton's offensive, Barton's own counsel, "Thomas Marshall" called Barton's corky. Ted and Jacklyn Barton's attorney scorned them prior to this court hearing for talking to dead people meaning Barton's prayers to Jesus and Jesus being dead. Thomas Marshall also told Ted and Jacklyn Barton the judge would consider them nuts because of an ongoing case in Kansas where the citizen's won a dispute asking that creation be taught along side evolution. Kansas and Missouri are known as the bible belt so Thomas Marshall felt this would not be in Ted and Jacklyn Barton's favor. May 4, 2005 Judge David B. Oberholtzer fraud the families saying Grandparent's virtually have no rights which was fraud because his bench guide code 100.40 says Grandparent's have preferential rights. Also California family codes 7950 to 7952 and welfare code 361.3 say Grandparent's have preferential rights. Ted & Jacklyn Barton had raised their Granddaughter for seven years and this toxic judge gave their granddaughter to a third party where blood was found in her panties according to guardian ad litem, ( Edlene C. Mc kenzie's) report to avoid giving this Granddaughter back to the two Christian Grandparent's that raised her and put her at the top of her class. While Oberholtzer's decision, ( rhetoric that was not in Littlebug's best interest but rather a diversion from his bigotry of two Christian's ) to keep Littlebug in San Diego was geographically convenient for the Mother, ( if she should ever take a notion to visit with the child) the decision was completely incompetent in that the Mother had put the child up for adoption and failed to rescind her relinquishment in 1997 when the birth father came to San Diego to take custody of the child, hence making the Mother a third party. So when the father signed, ( March 30, 2006 ) the child over to the birth Mother who chose to be a third party back in 1997, a choice which resulted in family code as carrying less weight than the paternal Grandparent's whom had been acting as parent's for nearly six years of the child's life, which code 3041 C only requires a substantial amount of time and six years is a long time in comparison to the year Littlebug spent in San Diego. California Family Code § 3041 - Custody of Children, Custody award to nonparent; findings of court; hearing (a) Before making an order granting custody to a person or persons other than a parent, over the objection of a parent, the court shall make a finding that granting custody to a parent would be detrimental to the child and that granting custody to the nonparent is required to serve the best interest of the child. Allegations that parental custody would be detrimental to the child, other than a statement of that ultimate fact, shall not appear in the pleadings. The court may, in its discretion, exclude the public from the hearing on this issue. (b) Subject to subdivision (d), a finding that parental custody would be detrimental to the child shall be supported by clear and convincing evidence. (c) As used in this section, "detriment to the child" includes the harm of removal from a stable placement of a child with a person who has assumed, on a day-to-day basis, the role of his or her parent, fulfilling both the child's physical needs and the child's psychological needs for care and affection, and who has assumed that role for a substantial period of time. A finding of detriment does not require any finding of unfitness of the parents. (d) Notwithstanding subdivision (b), if the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the person to whom custody may be given is a person described in subdivision (c), this finding shall constitute a finding that the custody is in the best interest of the child and that parental custody would be detrimental to the child absent a showing by a preponderance of the evidence to the contrary. This guardian ad litem Edlene C. Mckenzie also fraud in her report that Jennifer Iden Liss the day care owner was a licensed clinical social worker however California Board of Behavioral Science confirmed she has not ever been a licensed clinical social worker in California. After the May 4, 2005 hearing Ted and Jacklyn Barton launched a web site to seek help as they were litigated through three courts before having their rights stripped and their souls persecuted and tormented and the cost of all this litigation has caused them to be financially broke. Barton's couldn't even afford to buy postage and paper and toner for their OKI printer so this web site was the most affordable way to reach the administrations that could govern this judge. The third party's, ( John & Jennifer Iden Liss ) told Terrence M. Chucas the ad litem that the birth Mother had not, ( in the year 2005 to 2006 they had custody of Littlebug ) come to visit, so our Granddaughter had spent another year away from her CHRISTIAN Missouri family whom was court room bashed in San Diego Family court, May of 2005 with manifestations of verbal hate-crimes and then Oberholtzer's fraudulent code rhetoric the reversing of 3041 C to be in Liss's favor, ( because the Liss's fraud the court claiming they had Littlebug from June of 2004 to court May 2005 ) which frauding code is against Oberholtzer's Judicial Cannons. Liss's came into Littlebug's life after the February 1st, 2005 hearing when Petty's attorney said he they would find someone to get Littlebug to school and ensure her lunch's and pick her up from school. It was around Febrauary 14th, 2005 that Littlebug began staying at the Liss daycare and July 15th the birth mother said she and her Mom had paid the Liss's for babysitting and code says babysitters are not person's acting as parent's. Oberholtzer found both parent's a detriment and Merriam M. Peterson, ( the birth Mother's attorney ) fraud the court order saying the Mother was not found a detriment and then he ran that order through Judge Huntington's court to get his fraud approved. August 15, 2006 Barton's wound up in a second court hearing and David B. Oberholtzer said he had seen their web site and shortly after Oberholtzer again ruled that Barton's Granddaughter go live with her maternal Grandmother who advocated the mother to put Barton's Granddaughter up for adoption at birth and then after the paternal Grandparent's, Granddaughter came to live with her this maternal Grandmother Diane Petty and her daughter Katharyn Taylor Petty, both failed to get Barton's Granddaughter to school, Petty's failed to pick her up from school and Petty's didn't ensure her lunches. Barton's Granddaughter had a rotted upper left tooth shortly before the August 15, 2006 court hearing and she had been in the care of both John & Jennifer Iden Liss the daycare owners and her maternal family the Petty's and neither of these groups of people cared enough to get Barton's Granddaughter dental help. Judge David B. Oberholtzer sent Barton's Grandaughter to live with these daycare people knowing they did not have adequate insurance and when ask about the Liss's income during court May 4, 2005 Judge David B. Oberholtzer said, "Do I have to go down that road?" and he didn't go down that road. Again, August 15, 2006 Oberholtzer ordered the Petty's to have custody knowing Barton's Granddaughter's health, nutrition & education had been neglected while living with the Petty's before the May 4, 2005 hearing. These officials are completely toxic! Judge David B. Oberholtzer would not take any evidence or allow Ted Barton to cross examine the new ad litem Terrence Chucas who published fraud in his report and it is by court rules OK for anyone to cross examine fraud published against them and give evidence. Terry Chucas nor Edlene C. Mckenzie followed their guardian ad litem codes which state they are to observe Littlebug in the home of which she had substantial time in which would have been Missouri. They have observed Littlebug in the homes of John & Jennifer Iden Liss of BarkerWay in San Diego and have observed Littlebug in the home of her maternal Grandmother Diane Petty at prior address on Barker Way of San Diego as well as her new address in Preston Idaho, but none of these people have raised Littlebug for the most substantial amount of time. Judge Oberholtzer listens to these ad litem's as if they are his most paramount and divine source of truth when both ad litem's, Edlene C. Mckenzie and Terry Chucas have fraud him in their reports and have produced no evidence of their fraud being true. Terry Chucas has never seen this child with her paternal Grandparent's which is required of him. Guardian ad litem's need to see Littlebug in her own home before publishing fraud. Terry Chucas recommendation was blackmail in that if Ted and Jacklyn Barton didn't remove his emails from our web site we would not get visitation. Chucas also wanted Barton's Granddaughter's name removed from their site. They hide behind the confidentiality laws, under the pretense not to "hurt" the children. It is pathetic how sick in control and prejudiced these officials are and they need to feel the impact of the battering and oppression they cause in others lives but this judge knows he can get away with this and more because he has exemptions or immunities. Every crime Judge David B. Oberholtzer intentionally commits is waived just because he is a judge. Ted and Jacklyn Barton don't have visitation now but their son whom has oodles of assault cases of which were given to Judge David B. Oberholtzer August 15, 2006 as attachments with Ted and Jacklyn's pleadings was ordered visitation. Yes, Barton's son, "Craig" whom abandoned his daughter with Ted and Jacklyn for 59 months got visitation. Oberholtzer told Jacklyn Barton she was toxic because she had called the St. Joseph Missouri Police November 16, 2003 and spoke with the dispatcher while Craig struck at her with his fist. When the police arrived Craig Barton became physically violent with the police and the police brought charges against him. Oberholtzer said that because Jacklyn had called the police November 16, 2003 and again July 15, 2006 when Jacklyn witnessed violence in the presence of her Granddaughter whom Barton's were returning to the San Diego daycare from their two week court ordered visit with the Granddaughter in Missouri. The Granddaughter was told by the Liss's, ( whom own the day care ) shortly before Barton's arrived to pick the Granddaughter up July 1, 2006 that if the Granddaughter wanted to resume living with the Barton's in Missouri it would be OK with them and that the Liss's would try to help her come back home. The Granddaughter wrote the Liss's a letter July 6, 2006 saying she wanted to live with the Barton's and July 15, 2006 when the Barton's returned the Granddaughter back to the Liss daycare their Granddaughter ask her paternal Grandfather Ted Barton to walk up to the Liss home front door with her, ( for emotional support ) to speak with John Liss about letting her come back to Missouri with the Barton's that very day. John Liss opened the front door, grabbed Barton's Granddaughter from her paternal Grandfather's hand, swung the Granddaughter around behind him shouting to the Grandfather, "Leave her things in the lawn! We have nothing to talk about!!!" John Liss slammed the front door in Ted Barton's face. John Liss did not allow the Granddaughter to say goodbye to her Grandparent's whom had raised her for 59 months before being torn out of her Missouri home and swept away to San Diego to reside with people she never knew. For these two phone calls to the police, Jacklyn was diagnosed by a judge, ( with no PHD in psychology ) as being toxic and Judge David B. Oberholtzer ordered the Barton's no visitation with their Granddaughter until Jacklyn went to see a PHD to see the impact of not getting along with Craig, (their son) had on the Granddaughter. Barton's had given Judge David B. Oberholtzer as well as all parties to this case, all of Craig's records for assault on six or more people certified from the Buchanan County Clerk. Judge David B. Oberholtzer had in his hand all these certified records of expartes and assaults filed with various citizens of the St. Joseph area, including one in Savannah where Craig went into the home of two old people and held a gun on them and judge David B. Oberholtzer gave Craig visitation and punished Craig's parents for Craig's behaviors. Ted Barton would try to give evidence to Judge David B. Oberholtzer, showing Jacklyn was not toxic nor was the cause of any impact to her Granddaughter's emotional well-being) and Oberholtzer would not let Ted Barton present his evidence saying Ted was not allowed to cross-examine the ad litem, however family code says Barton's do have the right to cross-examine and present evidence. Judge David B. Oberholtzer has concocted a smoke screen being these two police calls ( which were three years apart ) to veil his court ordered punishment to Barton's for their religion and their web site which Oberholtzer said he had viewed just before court August 15, 2006. The mother Katharyn T. Petty whom has schizophrenia, and abandoned this child for eight years and has records for violence and drugs was ordered her visitation by Judge David B. Oberholtzer. But the only people who were ever there for this Granddaughter for seven years, who raised her without any financial help from anyone can not even speak with her or make any attempt to contact her or they could be arrested. Barton's Granddaughter had written a letter July 6, 2006 shortly before their court hearing August 15, 2006 saying she wanted to return home to them and Terry Chucas ignored their Granddaughter's desire to carry out his threats he made during his home investigation to Littlebug's home August 5, 2006. Terry Chucas threatened Littlebug's paternal Grandparent's on several issues and some of those threats materialized. Chucas ask to use Barton's rest room before he left and shortly after Barton's found brown scorpions in that room, in Missouri! Barton's can not concede that Terry Chucas put the scorpions in their bathroom because they were not in the bathroom when he was in their bathroom however it is a fact that after Terry left their bathroom the scorpions were found. Visit Barton's site and see how cruel these people are. http://hometown.aol.com/tedsrose/Home-Page.html Barton's sent their case to the California Commission of Judicial performance and they said they didn't have to do anything no matter how much crime they recognize. Please help us stop, Extreme Ad litem Fraud In San Diego Family Courts as well as family code fraud and court hearing rules fraud committed by family court Judge David B. Oberholtzer. More information can be found on the fraud and civil rights violations in San Diego Family courts at the following URL link. http://hometown.aol.com/tedsrose/Home-Page.html Three things need to happen quickly in San Diego Family Court as the court appointed guardian ad litem also known as the child's attorney and minors counsel are publishing fraud in their evaluation reports to the courts, counsel and parties of the case with out investigating these allegations. Once these defaming allegations are published, in specifically Judge David B. Oberholtzer's court, ( Dept. 5 ) you are not allowed to present evidence to show these allegations are fraud, as Judge David B. Oberholtzer disrupts any attempt to present evidence and says you are cross examining the ad litem which he claims is not allowed. So Judge David B. Oberholtzer basis his court orders on hearsay of which in the case of our web site, " Extreme Ad litem Fraud In San Diego Family Court" was slander. This has happened not once but twice in this particular court room with two different guardian ad litem's, first Edlene C. Mckenzie whom published fraud on John & Jennifer Liss stating Jennifer Iden Liss was a licensed clinical social worker of which the California Board Of Behavioral Science confirmed she had never had a license in Claifornia. This bit of fraud was in Edlene's recommendation report to Judge Oberholtzer as Edlene's request that the minor be sent to live in a daycare owned by Jennifer Iden Liss because Jennifer would have the insight as a licensed clinical social worker to see any red flags going off in the minor's behaviors from being jerked out of her Missouri home and transplanted into a world of strangers in the San Diego area. A second ad litem came into this case when the court appointed Terrence M. Chucas and this ad litem published fraud , hearsay without investigating it and submitted it to Judge David B. Oberholtzer and all counsel and all parties. Judge David B. Oberholtzer refused to let the parental Grandparent's present evidence or cross examine Terrence Chucas for the fraud in his report. Ad litem's do not have educations in psychology so they do not have the qualifications to make judgement of what is in the best interest of any child. The remedy is: Banish guardian ad litem's and have child psychologist make recommendations to the court, counsel and parties. The second goal that needs to quickly happen is opening the courts to the public. Because Family Court is closed court, Civil Rights are violated as has happened in Judge David B. Oberholtzer's court when Edlene C. Mckenzie published in her recommendation that the petitioners were unable to reason due to their religious beliefs being Catholic and Presbyterian, as a result the petitioners were verbally persecuted which are manifestations of hate-crimes. The only remedy is, "OPEN COURT'S" In the petitioner's attempt to correct this injustice they submitted to the Commission Of Judicial Performance in San Francisco, California to learn that only a hand full of California judges ever get removed from the bench because even if the Commission Of Judicial Performance observes and sights a crime the judges have immunities that waive any punishment. The remedy is, banish immunities for judges and commissioners. Judge David B. Oberholtzer fraud the petitioners whom were asking for custody saying Grandparent's virtually have no rights quoting a Troxel case that carried no weight in it's own jurisdiction and was a case that didn't relate to the petitioners case. Judge David B. Oberholtzer's bench-guide code 100.40 says Grandparent's are preferential consideration for placement of a minor. This type of fraud has got to be stopped, open court, no immunities & banish adlitem's. Barton's Granddaughter needs to be sent back home as this order was made out of San Diego Family Court corruption therefore Oberholtzer's order is illegal. Barton's have several petitions online to reform family court and the following was taken from one of those petitions. http://www.petitions.ws/petition.php?id=48&view=1 AGH!!!! I am living through the same nightmare represented in this petition. My teenage daughter's were removed from my home nearly two years ago. Mr. Chucas submitted a "report" to the Dishonorable Randa Trapp. Said "report" that was littered with lies. Together, both Chucas and Trapp have destroyed my family by robbing us of the only commodity that cannot be replaced...TIME. In addition to the emotional devastation, I have been rendered penniless. My time is monopolized by meetings, assessments, classes, counseling appointments and supervised visitations. Mr. Chucas, who claims to represent the children's BEST INTEREST, has completely ignored my daughters' plea's to return home. I truly cannot find words to adequately express the barbaric abuses we have suffered over the course of the last 20 months. The pain cuts straight thru the bone and bruises the soul. This is not diplomacy. These actions are not for the people OR by the people. My children fear that I might give up the fight. They are beginning to doubt if "the truth will prevail." The three of us have already served nearly a two year sentence, isolated, stripped of our human rights and tortured on a daily basis. A sentence that was imposed WITHOUT reason by the evil empowered through the San Diego Family Courts. It is a struggle to live another day without my children; and then another and another. My faith is tested daily. Every morning and every night and countless times in between, I thank the Lord for the love of my children and ask that they stay protected. I pray for myself and the strength that I need. I pray that He won't let me forget to breathe. Then I lift up the heartless, like Chucas and Trapp. I ask God to drop miracles right in their laps. Or...on their heads! Maybe the pain would stimulate their brains and ego's be replaced by compassion? Miracles DO happen! Thanks for taking the time to read this. I am open for suggestions, direction...anything? Jennifer Hawkins j_enhawkins@yahoo.com La Mesa CA Since Jennifer Hawkin's message in this petition there have been even more people that have contacted Barton's with their Terry Chucas crimes with in their own cases. Another women from up North has contacted Barton's October 1, 2006 and she claims Oberholtzer physically threatened her for taking notes in his court room. This person has a hearing coming up with Oberholtzer again and after the hearing is over we will be sending you her contacts with her permission to investigate. We now have several victims's of Oberholtzer and Terry Chucas as well as a company providing funding for the attorney of our choice to file a class action. Sincerely, Theodore L. & Jacklyn R.

The removal of the father from the family puts a child at risk and is therefore a form of child abuse. independent

NSPCC and the presumption of contact between children and their parents.

We the undersigned would like to register our surprise and disapproval at the NSPCC briefing notes provided for MPs in the UK parliament during the Children and Adoption Bill regarding the presumption of contact between children and their parents.

 

These briefing notes are widely interpreted to mean that the NSPCC no longer agrees with the principle of contact between children and the non-resident parent, usually the father.

 

To support this change in policy the NSPCC has used the number of child deaths. The deliberate impression given by using this statistic is that fathers are responsible for these deaths and therefore should not be entitled to the presumption of contact. This argument does not follow.

 

The fact that the non-resident parent mainly kills children has no connection with the gender of the parent and it is misleading to use this statistic in this way. Further it is wrong to imply that both natural parents do not provide the best protection for their children.

 

It is commonly accepted by all the law enforcement agencies that the principal perpetrator of domestic child abuse is the stepfather or live-in boyfriend not the natural father. Whilst we applaud the policy for together trying to bring a full-stop to abuse wherever it may occur the NSPCC has a duty of care to children not to misrepresent the true situation and the former policy, which recognized the importance of both natural parents, commanded a great deal of support.

 

Any policy which fails to take into account the realities of modern day family life is bound to do a disservice and we implore the NSPCC to think again about the presumption of contact mentioned in the briefing notes provided for MPs if it really wants to bring child abuse to an end.

 

Kingsley Miller has participated in helping with voluntary collections on behalf of the NSPCC. He is the author of 'even Toddlers Need Fathers' which Professor Sir Michael Rutter, a foremost authority on children's welfare, described as an 'interesting and informative guide'. In July 2004 he was given permission by the Court of Appeal to publish the County Court judgments from the family proceedings in his case because of his, 'history of responsible campaigning and writing on issues relating to family relationships' - 'I am very grateful to all those, like yourself who have written and particularly where you have been able to demonstrate your own thinking from the experiences you have had. Congratulations on your battle.' David Blunkett, Home Secretary 2001-2004.
