This post is from Courthouse Forum – it is another example of alleged fraud following the same pattern of a corrupt Guardian Ad Litem getting unethical psychological evaluators to write reports biased against battered mothers. This scam can also be pulled by an unethical attorney representing the batterer, but it is nearly impossible to fend off this fraud when it is being done by the GAL. Anyone wishing to expose this same pattern of legal abuse and fraud, please include the state and county where this is occuring, and the names of the unethical psychologists, unethical lawyers, unethical GALs, and colluding judges in a message to parentalalienationfraud@gmail.com.
I hope that the someone in the know will post the name(s) of the psychological evaluator(s) and GAL(s) involved in the comments section.
Retaliation for exposing judicial corruption: three moms on terrorist list
Three moms who are victims of domestic violence and who lawfully fought for their abused children’s and their own federally-protected rights to freedom from abuse have been falsely labeled by Cook County , Domestic Relations Judge Karen G. Shields as “threats to judges” and “terrorists.”
The report was subpoenaed in April of 2007 which alleges that the three moms engaged in “intimidation of a public official” and “being in restricted areas of the courthouse” without dates or times of the alleged acts. The police report reads that Judge Shields reported a “reasonable apprehension of future bodily harm” by the IFCAA co-members or “another unknown IFCAA associate.” Yet this same false police Judge Shields actually states: “She has not observed or been aware of any overt threats made by MEHRINGER or MANNIX but she is concerned.”
The three moms naively entered the family courts in the year 2000 seeking justice and have found themselves stuck in a system that punishes mothers and exploits children for the financial gain of those who work within the legal system.
They are the moms’ of seven male children, who were once thriving under their care as the primary caretakers. Since entering the so called “family courts” they have either lost custody of their children or have had limited time with their children as a result of their above average income husbands/ex-husbands who were able to use their financial ability to hire high-powered attorneys and psychologists who created false reports.
While we all try to protect our children from harm within our own immediate families, our experiences have shown that children in custody disputes are preyed upon by court-appointed Child attorneys, Custody Evaluators and therapists in a pattern of practice that only benefits them.
In a well established pattern of practice of actors in the Cook County racketeering enterprise, Judge Karen G. Shields uses the legal system as a form of extortion and coercion under duress by keeping families tied up in litigation for years until the parties either are forced to come to an agreement and/or they are financially destroyed. All judgments and orders are by “Agreement” therefore nothing can be appealed and Judge Shield’s unlawful acts remain unexposed and her record appears clean. Pleadings languish un- adjudicated for years without due process of law in a form of coercion under the duress of impoverishment thereby forcing agreed orders and settlements. If litigants fight for their legal rights they are retaliated against just like Judge Karen G. Shields did to the three moms.
The established pattern of practice begins with the appointment of a child attorney whether one is needed or not. The law states that in most cases one parent can act in the best interest of the children and a court-appointed attorney is not worth the cost.
Our experience has shown that families that are appointed a child attorney recommends a custody evaluator who will create fraudulent reports and use their personal influence to determine the outcome of the evaluation that is supposed to be based on facts and findings of the parties involved. It is by this mechanism that the exploited families endure years and years of unnecessary litigation.
One aspect of the pattern of practice is that families of domestic violence are particularly targeted and exploited in that fraudulent evaluations are created against the protective parent, the significant majority of the time the mothers, without any evidence to support the allegations.
It is also our experience that the evaluators recommend custody to the abuser with full knowledge that the abusive parent will use the legal system as an extension of abuse by filing numerous unsupported pleadings to financially and emotionally destroy the protective parent. The protective parent in most cases is the mother who will then keep the industry going by spending any amount of money to try and protect her children.
Our children’s best interests are being represented by child attorneys and child custody evaluators who have their own agenda at interest. Our children have no recourse for a fraudulent outcome.
The flawed rational for appointing a child attorney and/or child custody evaluator is that parents entering the system, who were presumed competent to raise their children are somehow automatically transformed into whatever label’s the evaluator stigmatizes the un-favored parent in order control the outcome of the case.
As a result, we co-founded and are co-members of a grassroots; non-profit organization named the Illinois Family Court Accountability Advocates (IFCCA) whose objective is to inform, educate, court watch, and support each other.
Forced to represent ourselves after many years of on going litigation we began to document on court transcript all the unlawful, dishonest actions of the family courts. We tried to seek relief and have our cases moved out of the Daley Center to no avail.
We have suffered sever criminal judicial retaliation for exposing the family courts as a racketeering enterprise that is causing irreparable harm to us and especially our children such that Associate Judge Karen G. Shields, who is the daughter of convicted Operation Gambat ex-judge David Shields, initiated a false police report against us on August 16, 2006 in retaliation for the lawful court filings with attached evidence and witnesses of alleged illicit acts by Judge Shields (and others).
On February 27, 2008, the First District Appellate Court issued an opinion in Cook County Case No. 98 CH 11007, Mary Carr and Mario D’Agostino v Michael Lynch, et al., for which, on October 13, 2006, one of the moms testified as a witness, victim, and informant of the corruption in Chicago’s family court for which testimony the aforementioned opinion stated in pertinent part, “Although Mannix did not provide Lynch with any information regarding Judge White, she produced direct evidence regarding several other judges’ involvement in the bribery scheme,” [this evidence includes Judge Karen G. Shields] You can obtain the opinion on the Internet as well as at the Lake County Recorder’s Office Document 6324306 which is some of the “direct evidence” obtained from an organized crime family informant which was the basis of the testimony that resulted in the above finding of judicial crimes.
Judge Shields had a Cook County Sheriff’s Police (CCSP) detective issue a fraudulent Intelligence Bulletin with the moms drivers’ license pictures and personal information and distributed it throughout Cook and Lake Counties court houses. The three moms names and information was turned over to the Illinois Statewide Terrorism Intelligence Agency.
How can moms fighting for justice be on a terrorist list? Any family court judge who puts three exemplary moms, who have no criminal records, on a state wide terrorist list must be covering something up. An investigation should be conducted.
