A little off topic.......

I have a case I would like to spread the word about. Now this doesn't have anything to do with medicine or natural remedies but I thought that it is worth bringing to the attention of the public because it is happening more often than one would think. I am involved in this worthy cause and if you feel like reading through it and offering supportive comments for the victims in the matter please do.
On August 23, 1995 a judge in Sacramento, CA (Peter J. Mc Brien) ordered joint custody. Moreover, the biological Amy Lewis , Amy Lewis of Carmichael California, said she needed more money for child support and additional money for child care. So, the judge made two specific orders one was the “child support” order and the other was the extra daycare Amy Lewis needed after stating that it was too much money for her to provide. The order stated a separate charge (aside from child support) that the father pay in the sum of $227 which was half of the child care cost of $455 per month for his daughter to have services rendered at a KinderCare facility when she was five years old.
The judge further stated that when the child care ended Amy Lewis had to bring it to the court’s attention to end the payment (or modify it) and she had to provide monthly receipts to the father. If she did not provide the monthly receipts from the Kindercare facility to the father monthly he would not be obligated to pay the amount. This daycare institution was named explicitly in court, no other form of daycare was ordered to be paid for by the father. It was a specific amount for a specific service.
Due to the blatant disregard for court orders and trying to alienate the child from her father Amy Lewis was ordered by the judge give the father “45 days advance notice” in proposed change of residence. This was to be a phone call and written statement providing all of the child’s primary residential information. It was an effort to stop the illegal behavior (contempt) and it was specifically stated in the court order so that the “father’s rights would be protected”.
Once she got the extra money Amy Lewis moved again with the father’s daughter without providing advance notice, and not one receipt for daycare was provided to the father as specifically ordered by the judge. After she moved the child she continued moving the child every year for the next four years. This occurred in order to alienate the father and keep getting the daycare that Amy Lewis knew the father was not obligated to pay once services ended in addition to the child support.
During this four year period, in order to get any assistance in enforcing the court order of joint custody, the father had to first find the area in which the child was being held. This was told to him by law enforcement. Since he obviously did not know where the child was, he could only send out bait. This bait was in the form of cards, letters, pictures etc. When the father would get a lead on where this child was he would send out something to that address with his daughter’s name on it. If it came back then he knew they no longer lived there. If it did not come back then he knew Amy Lewis had kept the item and it was assumed a valid address.
There were also many phone calls to various family members of Amy Lewis initiated by the father. But no information was given, only rude comments and disparaging remarks for trying to attempt to exercise his rights. A very few times when Amy Lewis would get nervous due to receiving letters (and her family had contacted her telling her of the phone calls), knowing that the father now had her address and fully intended to exercise his custody, Amy Lewis would call him and stall any legal action by telling him how sorry she was that she broke the court order and then she would set up a time immediately for him to pick up his daughter. But, when the father would call prior to his parenting time (to make sure he didn’t fly to another state for nothing) the phone would be disconnected and she had moved again. This nightmare continued and for anyone that has ever had a missing child in their family, it is a horrific thing to experience.
**It wasn’t revealed until later that during this concealment that the child underwent abuse and was a victim of a violent drug addicted environment. As per “substantiated abuse claims”, CPS reports that were also “substantiated” and reports from the child’s own counselor which proved massive emotional abuse at the hands of Amy Lewis did in fact take place throughout those missing years.**
The father had to get the D.A.’s office involved in 1999 after being granted full custody of his daughter by the same judge and he ordered an investigation to be launched to locate and return his daughter to his custody. At this point the father went to the Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) with the evidence and the courts admitted that without the monthly receipts the father was not obligated to pay the daycare order but did have to continue to pay the child support portion. Again this enforces the fact that there were TWO separate orders. He was further advised that when the D.A. located and returned his child to the father he would have to seek reimbursement through the courts due to the clear illegal actions of Amy Lewis.
His daughter was found in Sept. 1999- Where Amy Lewis had illegally used a fraudulent last name on the child to keep her concealed. At this point the father was given complete custody and investigations were launched as the truth came out about Amy Lewis such as the abusive nature and drug addiction. CPS as well as law enforcement and court investigators got involved and deemed her unfit.
The father had the chance to press charges against her for kidnapping but put his daughter’s interests first and didn’t want his child to suffer the humiliation of having her biological mother in prison. This was clearly a mistake but he did it for the love of his child. He did not understand the magnitude of the abuse at that time. The father then raised his daughter from 1999 until she joined the Marines in 2008, at 18 years of age. Despite the fact that her counselors called her an emotionally distraught and scarred child, she blossomed in her father’s care and became a strong independent woman willing to serve her country and risk her life for the freedom of others.
Due to the fact that his child was missing for the period of 1995 until 1999 the father was unable to do anything about the child support order as the father didn’t know where Amy Lewis was and could not serve her. As for the daycare, the father had proof from the facility that he was only obligated to pay for one month of services rendered.
Later in one of the court proceedings the judge ordered Amy Lewis to produce all of the receipts. All she had to show the court was one month. The daycare institution backed this up with a ledger. To give you an idea of the amount of money that the father has been asked to pay despite proof that the services were not rendered for those four years, here are the actual numbers: From Sept. 1995 when services for childcare ended, until Sept. 1999 when the child was returned to her family the amount totals: $10,896.00.
Recently, this matter was brought to the court’s attention by the father in an effort to see justice done. The female judge decided to completely ignore the previous orders which made a distinct separation of the two charges (daycare and child support). SHE further ordered the father to pay the money despite the overwhelming evidence that Amy Lewis did not supply monthly receipts to the father which was the only way she was allowed to collect that money.
It is discouraging that a dad has to pay for years that his child was illegally kept from him and abused. No parent should have to go through years of having their child missing and wondering every day and night if his baby was alright, sick, hurt or dead. But to make that parent, who has suffered years of their baby’s childhood that they will never get back, pay the person that broke the law is horrendous! To top it all off the father then has to pay over $10,000 for 4 years of a specific daycare charge when services stopped after only a month that he was legally obligated to pay for?
Amy Lewis is a person that has broken the law many times from abusing a child (substantiated), to violating court orders (substantiated), to committing violent acts due to drug abuse and alcoholism (substantiated). If the father would have defied the court orders he would be in contempt and face criminal charges imposed by the court. Yet, against Amy Lewis no charges by the court, no punishment of any kind have been instituted (again I say YET)- instead, she is monetarily rewarded for this behavior. The father is the one punished by the rulings even though he has never had a vindictive heart and fought hard for his daughter’s rights and raised her to be a strong independent woman. (A United States Marine)
Despite the orders from the original male judges on this case making specific orders to protect the rights of the father, the recent female judges have repeatedly shown favoritism for the abusive Amy Lewis. Now they have shut the door on the father’s rights to appeal this case. He believes that this is a clear matter of discrimination against him.
(Court orders, child abuse substantiation, etc. are available upon request. Everything here can be confirmed with documented evidence.)
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS CASE? SHOULD THE LAW AND BINDING LEGAL DOCUMENT BE UPHELD BY BOTH PARTIES OR SHOULD ONLY ONE PERSON HAVE TO ABIDE BY IT AS EACH JUDGE SEES FIT? HAVE THE COURT SYSTEMS GOTTEN TOO FAR OUT OF HAND? WHAT ADVICE COULD YOU OFFER THE DAD IN THIS CASE?
** Now Amy Lewis works as a Notary Public… is this the type of person you want handling your important papers? A Notary Public is supposed to be trusted by their “word” – but in this case what good is a person’s word that has habitually engaged herself in criminal activity?
