VIOLATION OF CIVIL RIGHTS

The violation of Civil Rights in Family Courts and thorughout the Juvenile Justice system area a common place event as the divorce industry has become a cottage industry of professionals who can sell their services in life and death decisions that can be bought and sold.

The ability of the Family Court system to legally suspend civil rights in the "best interest" of the child opens the portal to judicial misconduct and abuse of power. This abuse of power, common place in the courts where children have no voice, no power -- they do not vote -- and no control, can and does result in children being bought and sold in the courts. Judges have unlimited power over life and death decisions, yet they do not possess the expertise to know what the are observing.

Issues of Domestic Violence, Child Abuse -- physical, emotional, sexual are all part of the daily agenda of the courts and as such, that which is horrifying can become common place to judges who see an endless parade of human tragedy and therefor lose the capacity for empathy, sympathy and basic human kindness.

In many cases those who take the bench are no more than political appointees, with no training and experience to partake in rendering decisions that will impart unimaginable suffering.

Threats and Intimidation - Abuse of Power

The adjudication of justice, maintaining peace and social order is not synonymous with bullying, abuse of power, threats and intimidation.

The threat of losing children, through custody transfer, having children placed i foster care, or worse, having custody terminated and losing children forever -- having them adopted is a trauma of unimaginable proportions. The threat of parents who do not cooperate with court orders that place their children in clear and present danger is the transfer of custody or similar remedies.

The veil of secrecy that surrounds Family Court, expert reports, legal consultation and the seemingly back alley deals that "go down" between the prosecutor and "your" lawyer are a matter of mystery and secrecy, sanctioned by the courts.
