Indiana’s Judge Christopher B. Haile Inflicting Maternal Deprivation Abuse

A previous post showed Judge Daniel C. Banina being admonished for granting a paternity petition without notifying the mother as such, effectively granting custody to the father without telling the mother.

Judge Daniel C. Banina: The Indiana Judicial Qualifications Commission is Tired of Erring Family Court Judges and Lawyers

It seems that Indiana, known for their Fatherhood Programs, is inflicting Maternal Deprivation Abuse on children and their mothers without any ethical concerns to the trauma being inflicted.

It doesn’t seem possible that these Fatherhood Programs were intentioned to allow the re-abuse of women and children through the court system, but this is exactly what the Fatherhood agenda has brought about. Women who separate from the children’s father due to maltreatment of the mother and/or child are being re-victimized in courts by unethical judges, lawyers, guardian ad litems, psychologists, parenting coordinators, et al who take children away from their mothers, often for a large profit. The Fatherhood programs have created bogus research exalting fatherhood and maligning motherhood with the specifically stated agenda of making sure they eradicate single motherhood. They are doing this not by promoting good treatment of women and children, but by taking children away from their mothers when they leave abusive situations. Many cases the men claim to be “falsely accused” of abuse and claim to be victims of the fictitious “Parental Alienation Syndrome” which has never been recognized as a valid syndrome by any ethical scientific group ever.

Does anyone actually think that the court is an enjoyable experience for the victims of abuse who have to relive and recount bad experiences only to be accused of lying? Is these men were such great husbands or fathers, why would the wife or mother want to leave? Why would protection be asked for?

In the case that follows, why did this mother only have summer visitation? Isn’t it becoming obvious that these men are using the courts to punish women for leaving them, taking the children from them, making them pay child support, and continuing to inflict abuse on them thru the court system? The children are suffering because of this as well as the mothers. This Maternal Deprivation Abuse needs to be recognized for the crime that it is and all those guilty of inflicting this abuse on children and their mothers need to be punished for their involvement.

What will this child think for the rest of his life over being forcefully taken from his mother like an animal being trapped! Hopefully the child won’t model this behavior and treat his wife and children the same way.

 

PUBLIC ADMONITION OF COMMISSIONER CHRISTOPHER B. HAILE

The Indiana Commission on Judicial Qualifications, having determined that formal disciplinary charges are warranted, issues instead this Public Admonition of Christopher B. Haile, Commissioner, Marion Superior Court, Civil Division 11. This Admonition is issued pursuant to Supreme Court Admission and Discipline Rule 25 VIII E(7) and with the consent of Commissioner Haile. Commissioner Haile cooperated fully with the Commission in this matter and acknowledges he violated the Code of Judicial Conduct, specifically Canon 3B(8), which requires judges to provide every person with a legal interest in a proceeding the opportunity to be heard and prohibits judges from permitting or considering ex parte communications.

In 2001, Commissioner Haile presided over post-dissolution proceedingsin Marriage of Shafer. Mr. Shafer had custody of the parties’ son, and the Commissioner approved their plan for Ms. Shafer’s summer visitation. He further ordered the parties to arrange their summer visitation schedule for subsequent summers by May 1 of each year.

On August 2, 2004, Mr. Shafer filed a “Verified Emergency Petition for Return of Child,” alleging that Ms. Shafer’s summer visitation ended on August 1, 2004, that she was not available at her house on August 1 when he arrived to pick up their son, and that the son had a dental appointment on the morning of August 2 and was scheduled to start school orientation on August 8, 2004. Mr. Shafer verified he sent his Petition to Ms. Shafer by mail on August 1, 2004.

On August 3, 2004, Commissioner Haile issued an “Order for Immediate Return of Child,” and ordered Greenwood, Indiana law enforcement to enter Ms. Shafer’s residence and assist in returning the parties’ son to Mr. Shafer. Mr. Shafer regained physical custody of their son pursuant to the order.

Under certain circumstances, a judge may issue an order of this kind without prior notice to the other party. Generally, this is permissible where the court finds a true emergency exists and the petitioner provides reasons notice should not be required before the court considers the petition. In this case, neither a dental appointment nor school orientation a week later constituted an emergency justifying an ex parte order. Additionally, Commissioner Haile was aware only of Mr. Shafer’s allegations about the parties’ summer visitation schedule in 2004, and ordered law enforcement to take the Shafers’ son from Ms. Shafer without the benefit of hearing her position on the agreed summer schedule. Commissioner Haile believed he was acting in the child’s best interests; however, that is not the point. Ms. Shafer was denied her right to be heard.

Commissioner Haile is admonished for violating Canon 3B(8)of the Code of Judicial Conduct. This Commission Admonition concludes the investigation, and Commissioner Haile will not formally be charged with ethical misconduct.

Questions about this Admonition may be directed to Meg Babcock, Counsel for the Commission, (317) 233-5394. (317) 848-2300.

Maternal Deprivation Research

There have been numerous studies regarding Maternal Deprivation, with a large source of information coming from Bowlby, based on Spitz and Goldfarb, and also from unethical animal experimentation. Overwhelmingly, research shows that severing this natural bond between a mother and child causes severe emotional and behavioral problems, such as depression and psychosis. The phrase maternal deprivation is the terminology used in the early work of psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, John Bowlby on the effects of separating infants and young children from their mother. Some of the research was previously used to discourage mothers from working or using childcare, but it seems important to revive these studies as children are being deprived of their mothers intentionally by abusive men who claim to be “parentally alienated” in an ongoing scandal that rivals that of the Catholic Priest sexual abuse cover up.  

Maternal Deprivation Abuse (MDA), has been identified as occurring with great frequency in legal proceedings, with specific unethical lawyers, psychologists, and judges perpetrating the the same scam on mother after mother with similar horrific results for the children. There has been death by suicide, suicide attempts, depression, academic distress, retaliation by a child against a PAS claiming father, and untold misery for the victimized children and mothers.

Based on Bolwby’s theories, Maternally Deprivation affects children as follows:

• Complete or almost complete deprivation could “entirely cripple the capacity to make relationships.”
• Partial deprivation could result in acute anxiety, depression, neediness and powerful emotions which the child could not regulate.
• The end product of such psychic disturbance could be neurosis and instability of character.(Bowlby J. (1951) pps. 11–12)

 

“Mother love in infancy and childhood is as important for mental health as are vitamins and proteins for physical health.” (Bowlby, 1953.)  Child psychoanalyst John Bowlby (1907–1990). 

 

Maternal Deprivation Abuse

Maternal Deprivation, or Motherlessness, is occurring with alarming frequency due to the unethical treatment of women and children in family court. Maternal Deprivation is inflicting abuse by severing the mother-child bond. It is a form of abuse that men inflict on both the mother and children, especially men who claim they are “parentally alienated” from their children when there are complaints of abusive treatment by the father.

Maternal Deprivation occurs when men seek to keep their children from being raised by their mothers who are the children’s natural caretakers. Some men murder the mothers of their own children. Others seek to sever the maternal bonds by making false allegations of fictitious psychological syndromes in a deliberate effort to change custody and/or keep the child from having contact with their mother when there are legal proceedings. A twisted form of Maternal Deprivation is to kill the children, so that the mother will be left to suffer. Sometimes there are family annihilation murders where the father kills the children and himself (or dies by cop), but the mother is not killed because she has received protective orders and her children have not as in the case of Jessica Gonzales.  

In seeking to define this form of abuse certain common elements are found in the Maternal Deprivation scenario as follows:

• History of domestic abuse that could be physical, psychological, sexual, and/or social abuse occurring on or off again, occasionally, or chronically which could be mild, moderate, or severe, including homicidal and/or suicidal threats. 
• Legal proceedings relating to abuse
• Hiring of “Fathers Rights” attorney
• Use of “Hired Gun” mental health professionals to make accusations of psychological disorder against the mother and children in deliberate effort to excuse abuse and change custody or grant visitation that is contrary to safety concerns. Another name for these unethical professionals are “Whores of the Courts“
• Raising claims of “psychological disorders” against the mother such as “Parental Alienation Syndrome” (PAS), Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome, Malicious Mother Syndrome, Lying Litigant Syndrome, Hostile Aggressive Parenting or any other mother-blaming psychological disorder that can be used by the unethical professional to re-victimize the victims.
• Infliction of “Legal Abuse” by continually and excessively filing motions so that the mother continually has to defend herself and her child(ren) causing financial and emotional devastation.
• Can occur in response to child support legal proceedings as retaliation.

The intent of “Maternal Deprivation” is to punish the mother and the child for revealing the abuse and to falsely claim that they are not abusive. This very commonly occurs as there are more and more “abuse-excuse” parental alienation accusing professionals who use this scientifically invalid theory over and over to achieve specific goals of the person paying them. Maternal Deprivation can also occur in response to child support legal proceedings. When occurring in this manner, Maternal Deprivation is a response to the financial demands as retaliation. Suddenly the father who had little prior involvement wants to take the kids half the time to avoid child support obligations, etc. When the men are really abusive, they ask for sole custody and demand the mother of the child pay them.

Although some people call this “Maternal Alienation”, a distinction needs to be made as the pro-pedophilia “Parental Alienation Syndrome” and the use of the word “Alienation” are most often used AGAINST battered women and abused children. There needs to be a distinction between the phony psychological syndrome and the intentional infliction of abuse on a mother and child by intentionally severing their natural bond. This distinction can best be made by NOT using the label of “Alienation” which will always be associated with the pro-pedophilia monster Doctor Richard Gardner.

Some of the characteristics of the especially heinous abusers who inflict Maternal Deprivation include but are not limited to the following:

• Angry
• Abusive
• Violent
• Coercive
• Controlling
• Threatening
• Intimidating
• Demanding
• Domineering
• Harassing
• Stalking
• Tyrannical
• Oppressive
• Forceful
• Manipulative
• Deceptive
• Unethical
• Un-empathetic (Lacks Empathy)
• Entitled
• Immature
• Self-centered
• Neglectful
• Guilt inducing
• Pushy
• Intentionally tries to humiliate mother and/or child
• Harsh, rigid and punitive parenting style
• Outrage at child’s challenge of authority
• May use force to reassert parental position
• Dismissive of child’s feelings and negative attitudes
• Vents rage, blames mother for “brainwashing” child and takes no responsibility
• Challenges child’s beliefs and/or attitudes and tries to convince them otherwise
• Inept and unempathic pursuit of child, pushes calls and letters, unannounced or embarrassing visits 

There is a distinct overlap of the intimate terrorist type domestic violence abuser with the Maternal Deprivation abusers as follows:

 

• Coercion and threats
• Intimidation
• Emotional abuse
• Isolation
• Minimizing, denying and blaming (Hallmarks of PAS)
• Using children
• Economic abuse
• Male privilege

The people who most often engage in Maternal Deprivation Abuse are most often: 

• Abusive men
• Vindictive second wives who don’t want to deal with the real mother of the children
• Paternal grandparents who raised dysfunctional children (abusers)

The effects of Maternal Deprivation often cause the children to become psychotic, depressed, and sometimes suicidal or to have suicidal ideations. Another terrible reaction is when the child retaliates against the parent who accuses Parental Alienation Syndrome as in a Texas case where the child killed his father. Other times when the Maternal Deprivation abuser completely takes over the will of the child by using brainwashing techniques similar to those used in prison camps where deprivation and isolation are used to force ideological changes in captives, these children often have a sort of trauma-bonding with the abuser and model their behavior. Sometimes these children will also abuse the mother in the same manner as the father. Another generation is created to carry on the abuse, and will likely do the same to their own spouse and children.
