Everyone knows corruption exists but it seems few possess the nerve to expose it in the United States. The world is now seeing how technology and strength in numbers can drastically affect the actions of powerful governments such as Tunisia. The terrible acts committed by theirs and so many other governments in the world are reprehensible in every aspect possible. The first story I am bringing to the blogosphere is one of a greatly personal nature. It is the story of a local government that goes to great lengths to the end of keeping their seemingly "squeaky clean" reputation as a supposedly unbiased and uncorrupted entity. I am here to tell you that Fairfax County, VA is far from the wonderful visage of unity and justice it attempts to portray.
Like so many other children in Northern Virginia, I climbed my way up through the Fairfax County Public School system. Despite traveling through most of the 50 states I have spent the majority of my life in Fairfax County its sad to say. This enabled me to get to know many of the people who grew up in Fairfax City and the surrounding areas. I know the city itself better than the majority of its residents. My family is a small one and I am the only child of my parents and the only grandchild of my grandparents. We come from a long line of hard working and dedicated people. Creative, intelligent, unwavering and adventurous would describe my closest family on my fathers side. Myself included. On my mothers side, a much persecuted line of people who toiled to earn their place in society. I need not explain the details, but I can tell you that my mother was subjected to extreme forms of abuse throughout her childhood as she made her way to and from various foster homes in Fairfax County. My grandmother on my mother's side, rest her soul, was subjected to primitive and purely inhumane treatment due to her mental illness. She suffered through a substantially severe case of Schizophrenia most of her entire life. She is one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I have known. Selflessness was a way of life for her. She always put others before herself.
Unfortunately, I have the ability to recollect the nightmarish events which nearly claimed my life and worse, threatened to permanently take away my sanity more than ten years ago to the day now in June 2001. Conclusions I have came to suggest that all of the various forms of anguish I have endured thus far in my life were to prepare me for what my family and I are going through right now. I have adopted many balanced beliefs and progressed so much further than any doctor would have ever thought possible since then. The personal strides I have made so far are strides that many "normal" people would envy greatly.
What's that? Now you find yourself dismissing the validity of my statements as the ramblings of a mad man? Allow me to set your mind at ease with a few proven facts. First, just because someone had a mental illness diagnosis at one point in time does not mean they now have a mental illness diagnosis at all. Second, noone is immune to mental illness. Even those who are considered to be the coolest under pressure can snap if the right circumstances present themselves. Mental illnesses do not discriminate between gender, race, age, economic status, geographic location or any other demographical subset you can dream up. Everyone has a combination of triggers that can set off a mental illness. Stigmas with certain diagnoses exist that classify certain illnesses as being more or less prone to violent behavior than others. The sterotype stating that because someone spent time in a mental hospital means they are potential serial killers is ridiculous and naive. Conditions such as these are far more rare than most anyone realizes. Its no different than saying a black or gay person will somehow infect someone by shaking their hand. Lastly, if someone such as myself who has dealt with mental illness for a long period of time where its ups and downs have been documented, it is far more easier to determine someones risk factors in areas such as violence or abuse. So before assumptions and generalizations are made about me, get the facts.
The remarks I am about to make concerning (in no particular order) the Fairfax County Department of Family Services(D.F.S), Fairfax County Department of Child Protective Services(C.P.S), the Fairfax Adult Detention Center and Fairfax County Courthouse definitely are far from baseless. Detail-specific grievances will certainly come in due time given the attempted witch hunt of a case against me fails as it should on September 13th and 14th 2011. I am speaking from my own first-hand experiences, my wifes experiences and the experiences of multiple other prominent, influential members within the Fairfax County workforce itself. All who are involved in any investigations, my own or my investigative team, now or in the future concerning this matter shall remain nameless during the arduous process of assimilating possible multiple lawsuits against various members and/or entities as a whole of the above named organizations. Lawsuits which could be filed may range from a vast array of constitutional rights violations, civil rights violations, and unprovoked criminal treatment allegations including but not limited to: direct and indirect physical threats/intimidation, breech of procedure, numerous instances of perjury by government officials and their associates, forms of blackmail, psychological abuse & torment, financially motivated false reports, racially biased judgements, adverse treatment of the disabled, and the inhumane, possibly medically threatening treatment of numerous individuals.
On September 15th, 2010 I was arrested and subsequently charged with one count of 4th degree Felony (Physical)Child Abuse against my then 9 1/2 month old son. The conditions which led to my arrest are ones of a very unique nature. These are details that when are released, explained and proven in criminal court will assist greatly in proving my innocense. My request to have a trial by judge was turned down quickly. This is likely because the prosecutor knows I have a clean criminal record and a fair amount of evidence that quite possibly leans in the direction of innocense. He undoubtedly plans to have the jury convinced that I am guilty before my defense even begins and is brought to light on day two.
Allow me to make this crystal clear. I am not faulting the Fairfax County Police Department or the detective who questioned me the weekend prior to my arrest. He had a job to do and were I in his shoes I would have made the exact same conclusion he came to. Persons who truly do commit such crimes against children of any age deserve what is coming to them. I am not disputing that in the slightest.
What I am publicly calling out are the multiple purposeful lies and the misleading statements taken completely out of context told by Ms. Lisa Alexander of the C.P.S. I not only witnessed her give false statements on the stand; she also lied in affidavits and completely omitted vital details from her investigation. If I am such a guilty man then why does she find it necessary to add lies and falsely elaborate my story? Her ethically unsound practices and the blatent lies she told both in her sworn affidavits and on the witness stand at numerous civil hearings held over the last 10 months should bring forth her forced resignation at a minimum. She is supposed to be helping families instead of breaking them apart. The priviledges she has are nearly parallel with the priviledges criminal detectives have. She abuses this power greatly. For Instance; a letter was sent to me from Ms. Alexander, dated on company letterhead for October of 2010. In the letter, Ms. Alexander stated that the department had made a "founded" decision of abuse and my name would, in turn, be put on a list with the State Department for a period of 18 years! I had 30 days to appeal their decision. Physical evidence proves that she did not send out her letter informing me of such a decision until the 30 days had already passed. Not until I sent a letter to her department in protest did I receive a response from her superior stating,"In cases where there is a criminal charge pending for the same matter in question; the departments decision is held over until the criminal matter is resolved." This is but one instance of proof that she and the C.P.S make a habit of abusing their important power. These types of things are common practice and endorsed by their own superiors! An organization with the power to remove people's children should take their job far more seriously than to incessantly lie, manipulate evidence, and torture the parents of the children who belong with them.
Furthermore, I am calling out the D.F.S for endorsing behavior designed to psychologically torment, intimidate, humiliate, and blackmail my wife using our children as bait. The D.F.S is mandated a required goal for eventual "Full reunification of the family." This is supposed to eventually include me. They do not want this at all. Which is why they are dead set on trying to get a felony conviction against me. In a society where someone is supposedly innocent until proven guilty the guilt is assumed immediately and the accused are treated as such. Actions taken both on the part of D.F.S and C.P.S support such a statement. This system is purposely designed to fail. Don't believe me? Check out the national organization listed here: http://fightcps.com/ How am I supposed to clear my wife and I's name and fight to get our children back when the civil matter is almost timed out and my criminal matter has yet to be heard in court even once? That's just it. I am not supposed to be able to accomplish that daunting task because the system is designed for the defendants to fail.
My wife fully completed all that has been asked of her by the court and the D.F.S. They still refuse to give her our children back. Why, you ask? According to the hearing in civil court the other day, my wife has failed to recognize the alleged abuse of our son. Despite her telling them numerous times that our sons injuries were definitely caused while in my care at our home they say she would violate the order and allow me near the children should she be awarded them. I'm no lawyer, but isn't that speculation? Only in theory apparently. My character alone speaks to the contrary on that assumption. I challenge anyone to find provable facts about me that successfully question my character or reputation as someone capable of such crimes. Neither my wife nor I would ever jeopardize her custody of the children. Especially after the hell we have been subjected to this past year. The fact that my wife and I still communicate and occaisionally spend time with one another is being held over her head. She has been told numerous times by multiple social workers involved and even her own therapist that despite her recognizing our sons alleged abuse, "Only a divorce would prove your words as truth."
Despite my voluntarily offering to have the court ward me from my wife's home, her voluntarily changing the locks to that home, 1,000's of dollars in safeguards and amenities being bought to benefit the well being and care of our children, and the fact that my wife did not miss one single appointment as scheduled in all the 10 months since all this first started; The court still says she is not going to be given our children back. It has also been 100% proven at that same hearing that I have not been at nor lived at my wifes home for over 3 1/2 months. A witness who owns the home I reside in both testified and re-submitted a signed and sworn affidavit (of which was lied about in court by the civil prosecutor herself) as to its submission in civil court months prior. She looked at it and held it in her hand. Until last week, my residence was still called into question.
A system of checks and balances fails to exist in the slightest within both the D.F.S and the C.P.S. A verbal accusation, even anonymous ones, and a couple bruises on any child are grounds enough for them to take away a child or children from their family and subject them to years of such abuses of power. Not just in my family's case but 1,000's of other families each year. Nothing you say or do takes away that power. The fix is in. The "experts" are well compensated for their "time and expertise." "Experts" such as Dr. Amy Pacos, Psy.D are fed many client referrals each year to help fund extravagencies such as her 10th floor Arlington,VA penthouse office suite. A noticeable lack of applied real-world experience exists that shows through in her shoddy, generalized evaluations and the undoubtedly purposeful omissions of vital facts and information that would change the results, the entire validity of the evaluation itself which took her over a month for her to create. Dr. Pacos has a questionably plush work environment for such a neophyte in her field. It takes a minimum of 12 years to become a psychologist. She appears no more than 30 years of age or so. Her experience would almost have to be limited greatly. I believe the reason she could not even look the prosecutor in the eye while being questioned was her being possessed by the demon she traded her soul to in exchange for her dream practice.
Checks and balances are imitated in relation to these cases. Even the Guardian-ad-Lidum for our son is involved in the farce which the court calls civil hearings. There is nothing civil about them. Please do not forget to remember the 3/4 of a Billion dollar renovation that the Fairfax County Courthouse has undergone. One of the ways to recover those tax dollars is by keeping their new courtrooms and jail nice and full. The C.A.S.A(Court Appointed Special Advocate) is there simply to attempt to catch the defendants doing something wrong it seems. Countless tax dollars are spent on people who are paid to serve as "YES" people in assistance of creatively lying their asses off in effort toward building a case based on what they do best. Lie.
In Virginia, the laws allowing the state to permanently revoke parental rights have a 12 month shelf life. So if the court and D.F.S sees fit, they can revoke my wife and I's parental rights permanently and place our children up for adoption even if my criminal trial has yet to take place. I was offered a "deal" by the prosecutor to plead guilty to a Class 6 Felony and likely serve no jail time. I instantly refused. Does the U.S not already have enough children in the adoption and foster system? The people who keep these children make very fair amounts of money each month. They profit from the lies, deception, and the corruption committed by C.P.S and D.F.S. In the financially trying times our federal government is in should be reason enough to drastically cut funding for corrupt systems such as these.
The Commonwealth prosecutors' arguments and evidence appear crisp and concise on the exterior, but on the inside its all filled with so many holes that will be connected when defense gets their turn. Their evidence will be torn apart line by line, on and off the stand. Reasonable doubt not only can, it will be established on day two of my trial. They are going to come out strong from the starting gate on day one but on day two its my turn. A year in the making I might add. That is when the unique details will come to light which will prove my innocense. I am grateful for being so detail oriented and relentlessly working on my defense this whole time. I had never been in jail before for anything other than a D.I.P charge (which I beat) back in the late 90's. Despite that fact, I held it together for the thirty days I was there and tirelessly refined my defense. I was released on bond October 15th, 2010.
Not only did the D.F.S and C.P.S take away my wife and I's three day old baby girl, but when they showed up at the hospital to remove her; a gloating game on their part was made of the ordeal. I purposely did not show up at the hospital when my wife went into labor. My wife drove herself while in labor to the hospital! Both Lisa Alexander of C.P.S and Dana Condemi of the D.F.S were fully aware I was not there. I purposely never came to the hospital so they would not try and remove our daughter. Much like two cheerleaders teaming up on the quiet girl in the corner; both of these women made it a point to torment my wife while she held her newborn. My wife had just given birth 2-3 days ago and was attempting to feed and bond with our baby girl. Dana Condemi and Lisa Alexander pulled her away from my wife while she was feeding her! Ms. Alexander said to my wife,"We don't have time for this." C.P.S doesn't have time to allow a newborn to be fed by its mother? How is that protecting children? "Child Protective Services" right? I have yet to see it. They treated her removal as if it were some sort of twisted game for them. Lisa Alexander stated to my wife,"I'm sure you can assume why we're here can't you?" "Come on, I'm sure you can take a guess." "Yeah, we're here to take your daughter from you." All statements were made with proud smirks on their faces in a gloating sort of tone. I did not need to be there to know what sort of tone was set by them. My wife explained it more than sufficiently.
Even further than that, they had the audacity to hold it against my wife in court for texting me to inform me they were taking our daughter. Ms. Dana Condemi made it a point to lie about our phone conversation that day also. She says I told her, "That it will come around and something bad will happen to you." I told her that I believe in Karma and asked her if she believed in it. Was I pissed off that day? You're damn right I was pissed off! Did I yell and scream at them on the phone? Yes. But no threats were ever made to either of them. Leave it to the evil to pass their own blame and guilt on to others. It's a way of redistributing their own guilt in effort toward making themselves feel better. These are the kinds of actions which are supported by yet another tax-dollar funded organization that is supposedly in place to rehabilitate parents and reunite them with their children.
Because our son was found in civil court to be an abused child, to which I was told by my own attorney not to enter any kind of defense as not to comprimise my criminal case; a decision was made that our newborn baby girl would supposedly be placed in a harmful environment if she were to be released with her mother. Please keep in mind that my wifes potential as a child abuser tested as negative and she has not once been called into question. Their argument is that my wife did not take appropriate actions to protect our son against abuse. Our son's medical report sent directly from Fairfax Hospital greatly assists in proving his injuries were both not severe and never life threatening. Would any of you consider a 9 1/2 month old baby falling asleep 5 minutes into the voluntary ambulance ride to the hospital something that ever required medical attention? How about his smiling and giggling and alert playfulness he exibited with both myself, the police officers, and the C.P.S prior to making that trip to the hospital? That is because he never required medical attention.
Despite her best efforts to make her, my wife will not cry in front of her lying therapist Bettye Zablotny who apparently also enjoys playing sick mind games. My wife will not give her the satisfaction. Mrs. Zablotny made statements to my wife such as, "You don't have your children or your husband in your home; you have time to see me." My wife's visitations were cut short on more than one occaision so D.F.S employees could question her. My wife is being accused of an emotional disorder due to her supposed lack of expression. Last time I checked, expressions and emotions came in flavors other than sadness and tears. How about anger and frustration, shock and disbelief, fear and worry, love and happiness? I've seen them all on my wifes face, including the tears and sadness, but none of them are the emotions of choice for C.P.S or D.F.S. They are in the business of divide and conquer. Of family torture and immorality toward loving parents. They want her to break down in tears in front of them all. Therapists are bound to certain codes of ethics and conduct. From what I've heard, Bettye Zablotny has broken them all. This prompts me to call out for the permanent revocation of her therapy license. A woman who is supposed to be assisting my wife in dealing with her trauma has done nothing but add to it and further torment her. It is sick and Mrs. Zablotny is the one who needs treatment.
The people involved in our case have no intention of giving our children back to my wife unless she gives in to their threats. They want to break her fully and bend her to every degree of their will. As I said earlier, it's about the power and control for the C.P.S and D.F.S. I am the manipulator? No. That is where Mr. Kevin Ochs of the F.I.R.E team comes in. His job is to establish himself as someone who can be trusted by manipulating and trying to brainwash my wife. He is one of their (tax-payer supported) master's in brainwashing and manipulation. Even though he had not even seen or spoken to my wife since November of last year, his testimony at the last recent civil hearing was weighed as if he had just spoken to my wife yesterday. In this case, it has nothing to do with what's in the best interests of our children. That is but their effortless catch-all phrase.
I have proven myself as being cooperative and understanding. They know our children would be safe. It's about power, money and control. Plain and simple. What proof do I have? How about my wife and I's conscious decision to spend a minimal amount of time together. Her decision to change the locks and keep the keys to which I have no copy. I did not have copies of the original keys. She has the receipt to prove her purchase and changing of the locks. If she were given back the children she would still be subjected to random surprise visits from C.P.S, D.F.S, etc. There is a number for emergencies in the U.S called 911 is there not? C.P.S are not the only law enforcement agency out there. Police officers are more than capable of dealing with protecting children also. We have told them all countless times that we understand the consequences if we broke the order and she allowed the children near me. How is she supposed to prove that she can take of them if they never give them back? In order to prove it she has to be enabled to do so. Once again; she is not supposed to be able to prove it. The system and its laws are designed for failure and for loving parents to be unable to defend themselves.
My wife is a wonderful woman who is more than capable of taking care of our children. She has a great career and a stable job she has been at for almost six years now. She has awesome health insurance(same for the kids as for her), great vacation and maternity leave benefits as well. She also has her own new car, a spacious 3 level townhouse and a quality Babee Tenda crib and high chair (high quality baby furniture). She and I saved up for months to pay off that furniture in time for our daughters' birth. The children have an abundance of toys and books my wife has provided for them also. She makes rent, pays her utilities and makes the car payments all on her own. She also pays the car insurance, buys her own food and everything else all on her own. She still finds a way to buy new toys for our children as well. Despite all these facts; they still say she is not capable of raising our children sufficiently. Their "evidence" to that end is based solely on poor assumptions and lies contained in the affidavits. She proves time and time again that she loves and adores our children. The only reason they will not give her our children back is because they want full 100% control and are trying to force her to make a decision she should not have to make. "Divorce your husband, he would be like having a third child around anyway." Maybe then she might get the kids back if they decide to pity her enough. Well I say screw that. Its time to make changes happen.
Allow me to let you readers in on a couple more details about me, "the third child." I installed the icemaker line for our new refrigerator, installed our new dishwasher, installed a brand new full heat pump system and a digital thermostat. I also replaced our water heater, fixed electrical outlets, patched all the drywall, installed all new valve repair kits in all the bathrooms, diagnosed a water main leak and organized its replacement. In the course of 6-8 months I lowered my family's utility bills by more than 50% and the water bill by even more than that. Additionally; I mowed the lawn regularly, cooked, vaccuumed, cleaned the kitchen, did laundry, changed many dirty diapers every day, bathed and changed our son, treated his diaper rashes, mixed and fed him his bottles and his baby food. I played games and explored with him for hours every day. Not once did I ever have a complaint about any of it. Is it easy raising children of any age? Of course it's not. It is not supposed to be easy. I was proud to do it and grateful to my wife for going to work every day. My wife and I had a great relationship. I have been faithful to her just as I have been faithful to all the women I've ever dated. I did freelance writing online and found mechanical sidework to do. My only grievance was with myself. I wanted to help bring in more money for our family. Ask anyone who knows me, especially these days, about my character or how I treat others. I give back what I am given and often times much more than that. A "third child" I am not.
My wife went to work every day. She and I both were very responsible. Our son had regular checkups all organized between my wife and our son's doctor. Not once have I ever laid a finger on a lady or a child with the intention of harming them. Not once have I ever "lost control" and beat a woman or a child. I was the only boy in a sea of girls throughout two years of child development and home economics classes in middle and high school. I can confidantly say that neither my wife nor myself are capable of harming a child. Ours or anyone elses for that matter. The C.P.S and D.F.S knows she is not capable of it. They use her lack of retaliation to their advantage. They know I will not stand for it. I am sick and tired of being unable to speak my mind in court. My wife should have never had our children taken from her. They need to be with her where they belong. I was raised to protect myself and my family. It's also in my nature to help people who deserve it.
Any news media, fellow citizens, friends, acquaintances or activists are encouraged to come to my trial on September 13th and 14th at the Fairfax County Courthouse. It's going to get seriously intense and will prove to be a great and hopefully pivotal trial toward making vast and drastic changes to the C.P.S/D.F.S system on every level. Furthermore, any experienced and confidant trial lawyers who are looking to make a name for themselves by very possibly winning a big case that's already been organized and put together; feel free to contact/look me up. I will relieve my court-appointed lawyer gladly. While he possesses great knowledge of the law itself, I fear his lack of confidance may hurt my cause in the courtroom. Lastly, any news organizations or interview style talk shows looking for an exclusive with me will all be considered. Plenty of others get paid large sums of money for far less interesting stories. Why should my family not get the same respect?
I am not guilty of child abuse or any other crime. The time I have already spent away from my wife and children, our children being stripped away from my wife unjustly, coupled with her continuous undue torment, and the 30 days I have already served in jail all more than make up for any carelessness I might have exhibited ten months ago. I have still never laid my eyes on our little three month old baby girl that my wife and I created with both full intention and love. My wife and I spent our son's birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Mothers Day, Fathers Day and soon July 4th all without our children.
C.P.S and D.F.S have not even considered allowing me supervised visitations with our children. What are they afraid of? Do they think I'm going to triple in size, turn green and demolish a secure government building while making away with the children? I say this with vigor and my best finger forward,"Why don't you all go rot and burn in hell where you belong?" Spineless, soulless, lying, corrupt, God-Complexed windbags is all they all are in my eyes. My day in court is coming. You had better "bring your A game" because this man is bringing his for sure. Try not to resort to tactics allowed as described here at the civil proceedings after my trial. Proof that CPS is above the law is described here. http://www.court-house.com/?p=11 . Proof that CPS is beginning slowly to crumble can be seen here. http://networkedblogs.com/mob1H . Blessings to all my supporters who have kept me in this battle. One day the corruption will fully catch up with the corrupt.

First, just because someone had a mental illness diagnosis at one point in time does not mean they now have a mental illness diagnosis at all. Second, noone is immune to mental illness. Even those who are considered to be the coolest under pressure can snap if the right circumstances present themselves. Mental illnesses do not discriminate between gender, race, age, economic status, geographic location or any other demographical subset you can dream up. Everyone has a combination of triggers that can set off a mental illness. Stigmas with certain diagnoses exist that classify certain illnesses as being more or less prone to violent behavior than others. The sterotype stating that because someone spent time in a mental hospital means they are potential serial killers is ridiculous and naive. Conditions such as these are far more rare than most anyone realizes. Its no different than saying a black or gay person will somehow infect someone by shaking their hand. Lastly, if someone such as myself who has dealt with mental illness for a long period of time where its ups and downs have been documented, it is far more easier to determine someones risk factors in areas such as violence or abuse. So before assumptions and generalizations are made about me, get the facts.

Lawsuits which could be filed may range from a vast array of constitutional rights violations, civil rights violations, and unprovoked criminal treatment allegations including but not limited to: direct and indirect physical threats/intimidation, breech of procedure, numerous instances of perjury by government officials and their associates, forms of blackmail, psychological abuse & torment, financially motivated false reports, racially biased judgements, adverse treatment of the disabled, and the inhumane, possibly medically threatening treatment of numerous individuals.

In the letter, Ms. Alexander stated that the department had made a "founded" decision of abuse and my name would, in turn, be put on a list with the State Department for a period of 18 years! I had 30 days to appeal their decision. Physical evidence proves that she did not send out her letter informing me of such a decision until the 30 days had already passed. Not until I sent a letter to her department in protest did I receive a response from her superior stating,"In cases where there is a criminal charge pending for the same matter in question; the departments decision is held over until the criminal matter is resolved." This is but one instance of proof that she and the C.P.S make a habit of abusing their important power. These types of things are common practice and endorsed by their own superiors! An organization with the power to remove people's children should take their job far more seriously than to incessantly lie, manipulate evidence, and torture the parents of the children who belong with them.
Furthermore, I am calling out the D.F.S for endorsing behavior designed to psychologically torment, intimidate, humiliate, and blackmail my wife using our children as bait. The D.F.S is mandated a required goal for eventual "Full reunification of the family." This is supposed to eventually include me. They do not want this at all. Which is why they are dead set on trying to get a felony conviction against me. In a society where someone is supposedly innocent until proven guilty the guilt is assumed immediately and the accused are treated as such. Actions taken both on the part of D.F.S and C.P.S support such a statement. This system is purposely designed to fail. Don't believe me? Check out the national organization listed here: http://fightcps.com/ How am I supposed to clear my wife and I's name and fight to get our children back when the civil matter is almost timed out and my criminal matter has yet to be heard in court even once? That's just it. I am not supposed to be able to accomplish that daunting task because the system is designed for the defendants to fail.
My wife fully completed all that has been asked of her by the court and the D.F.S. They still refuse to give her our children back. Why, you ask? According to the hearing in civil court the other day, my wife has failed to recognize the alleged abuse of our son. Despite her telling them numerous times that our sons injuries were definitely caused while in my care at our home they say she would violate the order and allow me near the children should she be awarded them. I'm no lawyer, but isn't that speculation? Only in theory apparently. My character alone speaks to the contrary on that assumption. I challenge anyone to find provable facts about me that successfully question my character or reputation as someone capable of such crimes. Neither my wife nor I would ever jeopardize her custody of the children. Especially after the hell we have been subjected to this past year. The fact that my wife and I still communicate and occaisionally spend time with one another is being held over her head. She has been told numerous times by multiple social workers involved and even her own therapist that despite her recognizing our sons alleged abuse, "Only a divorce would prove your words as truth."
Despite my voluntarily offering to have the court ward me from my wife's home, her voluntarily changing the locks to that home, 1,000's of dollars in safeguards and amenities being bought to benefit the well being and care of our children, and the fact that my wife did not miss one single appointment as scheduled in all the 10 months since all this first started; The court still says she is not going to be given our children back. It has also been 100% proven at that same hearing that I have not been at nor lived at my wifes home for over 3 1/2 months. A witness who owns the home I reside in both testified and re-submitted a signed and sworn affidavit (of which was lied about in court by the civil prosecutor herself) as to its submission in civil court months prior. She looked at it and held it in her hand. Until last week, my residence was still called into question.
A system of checks and balances fails to exist in the slightest within both the D.F.S and the C.P.S. A verbal accusation, even anonymous ones, and a couple bruises on any child are grounds enough for them to take away a child or children from their family and subject them to years of such abuses of power. Not just in my family's case but 1,000's of other families each year. Nothing you say or do takes away that power. The fix is in. The "experts" are well compensated for their "time and expertise." "Experts" such as Dr. Amy Pacos, Psy.D are fed many client referrals each year to help fund extravagencies such as her 10th floor Arlington,VA penthouse office suite. A noticeable lack of applied real-world experience exists that shows through in her shoddy, generalized evaluations and the undoubtedly purposeful omissions of vital facts and information that would change the results, the entire validity of the evaluation itself which took her over a month for her to create. Dr. Pacos has a questionably plush work environment for such a neophyte in her field. It takes a minimum of 12 years to become a psychologist. She appears no more than 30 years of age or so. Her experience would almost have to be limited greatly. I believe the reason she could not even look the prosecutor in the eye while being questioned was her being possessed by the demon she traded her soul to in exchange for her dream practice.
Checks and balances are imitated in relation to these cases. Even the Guardian-ad-Lidum for our son is involved in the farce which the court calls civil hearings. There is nothing civil about them. Please do not forget to remember the 3/4 of a Billion dollar renovation that the Fairfax County Courthouse has undergone. One of the ways to recover those tax dollars is by keeping their new courtrooms and jail nice and full. The C.A.S.A(Court Appointed Special Advocate) is there simply to attempt to catch the defendants doing something wrong it seems. Countless tax dollars are spent on people who are paid to serve as "YES" people in assistance of creatively lying their asses off in effort toward building a case based on what they do best. Lie.
In Virginia, the laws allowing the state to permanently revoke parental rights have a 12 month shelf life. So if the court and D.F.S sees fit, they can revoke my wife and I's parental rights permanently and place our children up for adoption even if my criminal trial has yet to take place. I was offered a "deal" by the prosecutor to plead guilty to a Class 6 Felony and likely serve no jail time. I instantly refused. Does the U.S not already have enough children in the adoption and foster system? The people who keep these children make very fair amounts of money each month. They profit from the lies, deception, and the corruption committed by C.P.S and D.F.S. In the financially trying times our federal government is in should be reason enough to drastically cut funding for corrupt systems such as these.
The Commonwealth prosecutors' arguments and evidence appear crisp and concise on the exterior, but on the inside its all filled with so many holes that will be connected when defense gets their turn. Their evidence will be torn apart line by line, on and off the stand. Reasonable doubt not only can, it will be established on day two of my trial. They are going to come out strong from the starting gate on day one but on day two its my turn. A year in the making I might add. That is when the unique details will come to light which will prove my innocense. I am grateful for being so detail oriented and relentlessly working on my defense this whole time. I had never been in jail before for anything other than a D.I.P charge (which I beat) back in the late 90's. Despite that fact, I held it together for the thirty days I was there and tirelessly refined my defense. I was released on bond October 15th, 2010.
Not only did the D.F.S and C.P.S take away my wife and I's three day old baby girl, but when they showed up at the hospital to remove her; a gloating game on their part was made of the ordeal. I purposely did not show up at the hospital when my wife went into labor. My wife drove herself while in labor to the hospital! Both Lisa Alexander of C.P.S and Dana Condemi of the D.F.S were fully aware I was not there. I purposely never came to the hospital so they would not try and remove our daughter. Much like two cheerleaders teaming up on the quiet girl in the corner; both of these women made it a point to torment my wife while she held her newborn. My wife had just given birth 2-3 days ago and was attempting to feed and bond with our baby girl. Dana Condemi and Lisa Alexander pulled her away from my wife while she was feeding her! Ms. Alexander said to my wife,"We don't have time for this." C.P.S doesn't have time to allow a newborn to be fed by its mother? How is that protecting children? "Child Protective Services" right? I have yet to see it. They treated her removal as if it were some sort of twisted game for them. Lisa Alexander stated to my wife,"I'm sure you can assume why we're here can't you?" "Come on, I'm sure you can take a guess." "Yeah, we're here to take your daughter from you." All statements were made with proud smirks on their faces in a gloating sort of tone. I did not need to be there to know what sort of tone was set by them. My wife explained it more than sufficiently.
Even further than that, they had the audacity to hold it against my wife in court for texting me to inform me they were taking our daughter. Ms. Dana Condemi made it a point to lie about our phone conversation that day also. She says I told her, "That it will come around and something bad will happen to you." I told her that I believe in Karma and asked her if she believed in it. Was I pissed off that day? You're damn right I was pissed off! Did I yell and scream at them on the phone? Yes. But no threats were ever made to either of them. Leave it to the evil to pass their own blame and guilt on to others. It's a way of redistributing their own guilt in effort toward making themselves feel better. These are the kinds of actions which are supported by yet another tax-dollar funded organization that is supposedly in place to rehabilitate parents and reunite them with their children.
Because our son was found in civil court to be an abused child, to which I was told by my own attorney not to enter any kind of defense as not to comprimise my criminal case; a decision was made that our newborn baby girl would supposedly be placed in a harmful environment if she were to be released with her mother. Please keep in mind that my wifes potential as a child abuser tested as negative and she has not once been called into question. Their argument is that my wife did not take appropriate actions to protect our son against abuse. Our son's medical report sent directly from Fairfax Hospital greatly assists in proving his injuries were both not severe and never life threatening. Would any of you consider a 9 1/2 month old baby falling asleep 5 minutes into the voluntary ambulance ride to the hospital something that ever required medical attention? How about his smiling and giggling and alert playfulness he exibited with both myself, the police officers, and the C.P.S prior to making that trip to the hospital? That is because he never required medical attention.
Despite her best efforts to make her, my wife will not cry in front of her lying therapist Bettye Zablotny who apparently also enjoys playing sick mind games. My wife will not give her the satisfaction. Mrs. Zablotny made statements to my wife such as, "You don't have your children or your husband in your home; you have time to see me." My wife's visitations were cut short on more than one occaision so D.F.S employees could question her. My wife is being accused of an emotional disorder due to her supposed lack of expression. Last time I checked, expressions and emotions came in flavors other than sadness and tears. How about anger and frustration, shock and disbelief, fear and worry, love and happiness? I've seen them all on my wifes face, including the tears and sadness, but none of them are the emotions of choice for C.P.S or D.F.S. They are in the business of divide and conquer. Of family torture and immorality toward loving parents. They want her to break down in tears in front of them all. Therapists are bound to certain codes of ethics and conduct. From what I've heard, Bettye Zablotny has broken them all. This prompts me to call out for the permanent revocation of her therapy license. A woman who is supposed to be assisting my wife in dealing with her trauma has done nothing but add to it and further torment her. It is sick and Mrs. Zablotny is the one who needs treatment.
The people involved in our case have no intention of giving our children back to my wife unless she gives in to their threats. They want to break her fully and bend her to every degree of their will. As I said earlier, it's about the power and control for the C.P.S and D.F.S. I am the manipulator? No. That is where Mr. Kevin Ochs of the F.I.R.E team comes in. His job is to establish himself as someone who can be trusted by manipulating and trying to brainwash my wife. He is one of their (tax-payer supported) master's in brainwashing and manipulation. Even though he had not even seen or spoken to my wife since November of last year, his testimony at the last recent civil hearing was weighed as if he had just spoken to my wife yesterday. In this case, it has nothing to do with what's in the best interests of our children. That is but their effortless catch-all phrase.
I have proven myself as being cooperative and understanding. They know our children would be safe. It's about power, money and control. Plain and simple. What proof do I have? How about my wife and I's conscious decision to spend a minimal amount of time together. Her decision to change the locks and keep the keys to which I have no copy. I did not have copies of the original keys. She has the receipt to prove her purchase and changing of the locks. If she were given back the children she would still be subjected to random surprise visits from C.P.S, D.F.S, etc. There is a number for emergencies in the U.S called 911 is there not? C.P.S are not the only law enforcement agency out there. Police officers are more than capable of dealing with protecting children also. We have told them all countless times that we understand the consequences if we broke the order and she allowed the children near me. How is she supposed to prove that she can take of them if they never give them back? In order to prove it she has to be enabled to do so. Once again; she is not supposed to be able to prove it. The system and its laws are designed for failure and for loving parents to be unable to defend themselves.
My wife is a wonderful woman who is more than capable of taking care of our children. She has a great career and a stable job she has been at for almost six years now. She has awesome health insurance(same for the kids as for her), great vacation and maternity leave benefits as well. She also has her own new car, a spacious 3 level townhouse and a quality Babee Tenda crib and high chair (high quality baby furniture). She and I saved up for months to pay off that furniture in time for our daughters' birth. The children have an abundance of toys and books my wife has provided for them also. She makes rent, pays her utilities and makes the car payments all on her own. She also pays the car insurance, buys her own food and everything else all on her own. She still finds a way to buy new toys for our children as well. Despite all these facts; they still say she is not capable of raising our children sufficiently. Their "evidence" to that end is based solely on poor assumptions and lies contained in the affidavits. She proves time and time again that she loves and adores our children. The only reason they will not give her our children back is because they want full 100% control and are trying to force her to make a decision she should not have to make. "Divorce your husband, he would be like having a third child around anyway." Maybe then she might get the kids back if they decide to pity her enough. Well I say screw that. Its time to make changes happen.
Allow me to let you readers in on a couple more details about me, "the third child." I installed the icemaker line for our new refrigerator, installed our new dishwasher, installed a brand new full heat pump system and a digital thermostat. I also replaced our water heater, fixed electrical outlets, patched all the drywall, installed all new valve repair kits in all the bathrooms, diagnosed a water main leak and organized its replacement. In the course of 6-8 months I lowered my family's utility bills by more than 50% and the water bill by even more than that. Additionally; I mowed the lawn regularly, cooked, vaccuumed, cleaned the kitchen, did laundry, changed many dirty diapers every day, bathed and changed our son, treated his diaper rashes, mixed and fed him his bottles and his baby food. I played games and explored with him for hours every day. Not once did I ever have a complaint about any of it. Is it easy raising children of any age? Of course it's not. It is not supposed to be easy. I was proud to do it and grateful to my wife for going to work every day. My wife and I had a great relationship. I have been faithful to her just as I have been faithful to all the women I've ever dated. I did freelance writing online and found mechanical sidework to do. My only grievance was with myself. I wanted to help bring in more money for our family. Ask anyone who knows me, especially these days, about my character or how I treat others. I give back what I am given and often times much more than that. A "third child" I am not.
My wife went to work every day. She and I both were very responsible. Our son had regular checkups all organized between my wife and our son's doctor. Not once have I ever laid a finger on a lady or a child with the intention of harming them. Not once have I ever "lost control" and beat a woman or a child. I was the only boy in a sea of girls throughout two years of child development and home economics classes in middle and high school. I can confidantly say that neither my wife nor myself are capable of harming a child. Ours or anyone elses for that matter. The C.P.S and D.F.S knows she is not capable of it. They use her lack of retaliation to their advantage. They know I will not stand for it. I am sick and tired of being unable to speak my mind in court. My wife should have never had our children taken from her. They need to be with her where they belong. I was raised to protect myself and my family. It's also in my nature to help people who deserve it.
Any news media, fellow citizens, friends, acquaintances or activists are encouraged to come to my trial on September 13th and 14th at the Fairfax County Courthouse. It's going to get seriously intense and will prove to be a great and hopefully pivotal trial toward making vast and drastic changes to the C.P.S/D.F.S system on every level. Furthermore, any experienced and confidant trial lawyers who are looking to make a name for themselves by very possibly winning a big case that's already been organized and put together; feel free to contact/look me up. I will relieve my court-appointed lawyer gladly. While he possesses great knowledge of the law itself, I fear his lack of confidance may hurt my cause in the courtroom. Lastly, any news organizations or interview style talk shows looking for an exclusive with me will all be considered. Plenty of others get paid large sums of money for far less interesting stories. Why should my family not get the same respect?
I am not guilty of child abuse or any other crime. The time I have already spent away from my wife and children, our children being stripped away from my wife unjustly, coupled with her continuous undue torment, and the 30 days I have already served in jail all more than make up for any carelessness I might have exhibited ten months ago. I have still never laid my eyes on our little three month old baby girl that my wife and I created with both full intention and love. My wife and I spent our son's birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Mothers Day, Fathers Day and soon July 4th all without our children.
C.P.S and D.F.S have not even considered allowing me supervised visitations with our children. What are they afraid of? Do they think I'm going to triple in size, turn green and demolish a secure government building while making away with the children? I say this with vigor and my best finger forward,"Why don't you all go rot and burn in hell where you belong?" Spineless, soulless, lying, corrupt, God-Complexed windbags is all they all are in my eyes. My day in court is coming. You had better "bring your A game" because this man is bringing his for sure. Try not to resort to tactics allowed as described here at the civil proceedings after my trial. Proof that CPS is above the law is described here. http://www.court-house.com/?p=11 . Proof that CPS is beginning slowly to crumble can be seen here. http://networkedblogs.com/mob1H . Blessings to all my supporters who have kept me in this battle. One day the corruption will fully catch up with the corrupt.
