New post on Cook County Judges Child ripped from mother pleads for heartless Judge Haracz to listen

by Linda Shelton

Sandra, a pediatrician and mother of 4, in an ugly divorce proceeding before Judge Haracz and now Judge Mathein, was not given notice (unacceptable in the legal world) for an ex parte hearing (meaning "from (by or for) one party" ) Fall 2009, still has not been able to testify about the true and full facts, while at the same time, in the Clerks office some of her records disappeared. The "court" took my four children, and my 18 month old baby, suddenly without any transition, ripping my babies out of my arms with NO JUST CAUSE. Mark, Matthew, Catalina and my baby, Anais have not seen me or my family in a year and 6 months. They have not been able to see or talk with their maternal grandparents, who lived below them, as well as their only first cousins. All the maternal family and many other friends and family have been devastated by this wrongful action of the court, including childrens frien ds who now suffer nightmares of being ripped from their parents. As of this date the children have been allowed to see their mother only once in a supervised visit last week during the past 18 months, despite no credible evidence that the mother Sandra is unfit or mentally ill. Yet the father and his family are allowed to defame and denigrate the mother in the children's eyes daily, as well as have been allowed to interfere with phone calls prior to 18 months ago and to this day. The court refuses to hear complaints about this unfairness.

Prayer Vigil At Illinois State Bar Association 4/2011 The children were taken because the mother took her baby to an impartial emergency room to have her youngest daughter examined in order to make sure she was OK as is quoted in an official report from the visit. The court bizarrely ruled that this act was endangering the children! There is a pattern and practice in Cook County where families are encouraged to argue and fight over children instead of helping the children by having both parents in their lives. The first thing Judge Haracz does is appoint a "child representative" to investigate the circumstance and advocate for the "best interest of the children." Professional child

representatives such as Regina Scannicchio, David Wessel and Ralla Klepak appear to first identify one parent, seemingly randomly, as the "evil parent." In a similar case where the father wrongfully lost equal parenting and custody, Daivd Bambic stated that the first time he met Wessel, even before Wessel met the children, Wessel told him to consider his children dead as he would never see them again. This is clear evidence of the premeditated hostil e mindset of child representatives. The child representative then meets with the children and helps the other parent brainwash the children by telling the children false information about their villified parent such as that the parent is mentally ill and crazy or violent - even if there is no evidence of such. Bambic's ex-wife, Catherine Wood, a drug addict who is a drug-addiction counselor at the American Indian Health Center of Chicago where she works in a clinic concerning AIDS patients falsely told the court that David had told his elder daughter that he would inject the mother with HIV! David filed for divorce after Catherine started hitting him (when he always backed off and did not reciprocate) and he found numerous empty pill bottles in the house belonging to Catherine's patients as well as after she admitted that she had kept it a secret ev en before the marriage that she was mentally ill and had for many years been seeing mental health counselors, along with the fact that she had run up credit card bills of greater than $120,000 with her wild spending sprees punctuated by wild sprees of disposing of property on Freecycle Internet sites. The child representatives seem to care more about villifying the most vulnerable parent or the one with the highest income, instead of advocating for the best interests of the child(ren). Children are removed from a parent based on unverified hearsay from one side without any opportunity to rebut false allegations in an ex parte proceeding (which means only one parent was present in court to defame the other party, who has no opportunity to defend themselves). Due propcess or the right to have notice of a trial or evidentiary hearing, present evidence, summon witnesses for testimony and cross-examine adverse witnesses is NOT a part of family court in hearings before Judge Haracz or Judge Mathein. This case and that of David Bambic and others in Cook County are examples of complete anarchy as well as mental and emotional torture of families and their children. My childrens pain and my baby forgetting me, daily are like a knife to my heart. My oldest told me that my 18 mo. old daughter was wandering around the house from room to room crying "mommy, mommy, where's mommy." (Sandra) It has been nearly 3 years and the court and its representatives have yet to allow Sandra to present the real and full truth to the court. The best interest of the children is ignored without remorse by the court-appointed staff and professionals involved (partly described in the POD 1 report of Michael Madigans Illinois House of Representative's Family Law Committee).

A child representative, who by law (as of today, but currently being decided on by the Illinois Supreme Court) is given total immunity and is exempt from being forced to testify under oath(or implicate oneself), is appointed to investigate the situation and to report it to the court. Free of accountability, this then child representative (now judge) Scannicchio refused to provide the facts to the court the mother had, concealing facts and testimony proving abuse of the children, that covered up Scannicchio's own role as an accomplice in the condoning of this abuse and therefore manufactured and mischaracterized ALL actions of the mother, vilifying her defrauding the courts of Illinois. Scannicchio's reward by the State of Illinois Supreme Court (after multiple ARDC complaints by different parties) on June 2011 for this ethical misconduct is elevation to being a Judge in the Cook County Courts. Sandras 9- year-old son (during divorce proceeding) wrote judge and presented to judges in pleadings (that have never had evidentiary hearing), begging to not be gagged and to be heard by the corrupt court.

He and his 3 siblings have been wrongfully taken from their mother in clear violation of the laws in Illinois, in the usual Cook County way - an ex-parte proceeding. Professional mother is still fighting hard to regain custody and even just to see her four children. There is no credible evidence whatsoever that she is an unfit parent. The court to justify this judicial kidnapping (as its referred to) and excuse themselves ordered this fit and protective mother, Sandra, from seeing her children until she submitted to a mental health exam and later making her pay to see her children. The evaluation and report proved there was no risk to the children and that Sandra is a fit and needed parent where unsupervised visitation should be immediately re-instated. The court ignoring her own order of Sept 2010 (stated in the judgment (again) listed with wrong case # 08 D 1968 (instead of #08 D 1698) allowing unsupervised visits with completion of 215 evaluation and positive report of mother posing no risk. Even with this report, the court is still not allowing Sandra to see her children on a regular and frequent basis (even supervise d) and is not providing the unsupervised shared and equal parenting that is statutory, apparently to continue harming these children by concealing and attempting to further alienate the children from their mother violating all due process. The court is holding my four children hostage and is forcing me to pay to see my own children in a supervised setting with no witnesses allowed chosen by me, that would affirmatively confirm how my children are well bonded to me. Illinois law, 750 ILCS 5/602, requires maximal involvement of BOTH parents in a divorce unless there is unequivocal evidence that a parent is a danger to their child. There is absolutely no credible evidence that this mother is unfit.

ILLINOIS STATUTE 750 ILCS 5/602(c) Unless the court finds the occurrence of ongoing abuse as defined in Section 103 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, the court shall presume that the maximum involvement and cooperation of both parents regarding the physical, mental, moral, and emotional well-being of their child is in the best interest of the child. There shall be no presumption in favor of or against joint custody. Ignored by guardian ad litems (GALs), raped children and parents need help, as the attorneys and others involved in the described "cottage industry" or "court cartel", turn their heads so long as it does not affect their families, their reputation or their scheme for wealth. We ceaselessly pray to stop this court abuse. The court-appointed child representative, Regina Scannicchio, now made judge, concealed critical information repeatedly regarding the children's best interest to Judge Haracz, Judge Mathein and the court. Newly court appointed, GAL, (title changed to child rep one week later), Ralla Klepak has questionable unethical demons in her past including through the Illinois Supreme Court. There appears to this writer and to many others, that there is a widespread scheme in family court where the proceedings are drawn out to drain the familys funds and assets (even childrens college funds) for the profit of the court-appointed representatives (including GALs, counselors, evaluators and supervisors of court ordered supervision), while one parent must be and is (almost always) defamed and vilified as a nut, a slut, a criminal, or a flight risk, that is used as an excuse to declare the parent dangerous to the mental or physical well-being of the children without any supportive evidence other than accusation and hearsay, as in this case. Children are grossly abused by the courts and the alleged advocate, as the best interests of the children are ignored. The only people benefitting from this are the court appointed individuals and judges, as well as the court clerks budget, as they obtain federal funding through Social Security Title IV-D funds, for which cause this child abuse and for which you are paying for with your tax dollars. When the court can declare one parent allegedly dangerous, then the Court can use this excuse to order that the parent may only see the child (children) supervised. This then breaks the parental bonds causing parental alienation, long-term mental and emotional damage to the children, generally who are being brainwashed (as to other parent, and even sometimes their own mental health) into believing that something is wrong when in fact there is not.

Many friends of the court throughout the nation are speaking out. Sadly, naturally these very abused children act out, often end up with behavioral problems, and become subjected to (often) unnecessary and/or excess medications. Our soldiers sacrifice their lives for freedom; these rights (God-given rights) daily being taken and stripped by this country through the violations of many of these government agencies or entities. The future of our country is destroyed across the nation by impoverishing families, destroying family bonds and morals, and teaching children that lying, manipulation, and profit are more important than family ties and unconditional love. Our economy suffers by putting families into poverty and by loss of taxes as parents struggle to pay legal bills and supervision, etc. The very essential family fabric of our country on which our future depends is shattered. It is time to fearlessly expose the essence and true nature of this cottage industry described by the Illinois House of Representatives POD 1 Report that claims that profit of the few has become more important than the best interest of the children, without any remedy immediately put in place to: STOP this CHILD ABUSE.
