Hi Allen,
About file suits against social services for civil rights violations ...
 AC> I am told it's possible and we certainly want to follow that option,
 AC> but the complaints I was referring to were not civil complaint, but
 AC> rather complaint complaints  because of their actions.
 
Big Laugh Here!  I can no longer talk about "our" case due to a g_g ord_r,
but I have a "friend" with a case "exactly" like ours and she has OVER 40 
complaint complaints of state policies and procedures that were violated!  
The Administration For Children and Families in Washington D.C. finally
called CPS and asked about my "friend's" case, but they really don't have 
the power to do anything.  The California Children's Operation Bureau is 
also going to investigate her case.  I am hoping for a successful outcome 
on it, and so far it sounds very, very favorable. :)
I'd be very interested in seeing these lawsuits (that were won) if you 
have the liberty to share them.  I'd be willing to reimburse whatever costs 
there were too.  There are a lot of people here with different situations 
who could file multiple lawsuits (including my "friend") and information 
that could help them win would be a feather in our caps! 
 
I had no idea how many people were being railroaded until it happened to a 
"friend" of mine as well as to the numerous friends I have met since then.  
I really feel bad for your client and if there is anything I can do to help, 
I certainly will.  I too believe your client is innocent.  I once worked  
with inmates at the Wyoming State Penitentiary  and found that most of the 
men I dealt with freely admitted to the crimes they were charged with.  
A few proclaimed their innocence, but very few.  So "NO, they're not all
innocent."  The railroad jobs though just make me as mad as h*ll.  
 
About the brief for the appeal, you said...
 AC> The last thing a private investigator needs to be trying to do is play 
 AC> lawyer and knowledge wise, I would not make a pimple on a good lawyer's 
 AC> backside, but in this case, we had absolutely no choice.  
 
 That REALLY made me laugh!  I'm no attorney either, although more than 
once other attorney's have thought I was.  A friend of mine is a District
Attorney and has been urging me to go to law school.  With all the knowledge
I'm gaining through these experiences, I have decided I might as well do it. 
It's not exactly what I wanted to do but I think I would be good at it. 
There are many people out there who need lawyers that will believe in them 
and fight like h*ll for them regardless of whether or not they can pay for 
it.  Don and I plan to use this as our contribution to "the cause".  Don 
will do the investigative work and I'll do the legal work.  Although here 
lately, I've had a hand in some investigative work as well.   There seems
to be quite a lot of relatives working together in different capacities on 
the same cases (judges, social workers, foster parents and law enforcement).  
Now, I don't know about you but that sounds a little shady to me!   It's 
also interesting that most of the juvenile court judges were "appointed" to 
their positions by other politicians that are related to the appointee.  
Hmmmmm. Something is definately fishy in Contra Costa County, California!
 
 AC> With the help of a great many people, our Supplement was 85 pages ...
 AC> It was not really as difficult as it sounds though because I am an
 AC> absolute stickler for detail so we had all the real necessary
 AC> information already available in our report (which is now over 300
 AC> pages) .  Turned into a pretty thick book. 
 
I would have to guess that I have probably over 500 pages of documentation 
and there is a publisher in Tennessee that is waiting for the book.  
I'm a stickler for detail too, and what hasn't been written down has been
recorded in other forms.   Hey, can I get you to write a supplement
for our appeal? (Just kidding! We do have an appeal in the process though.)
 
 AC> Anyway, without really going into detail, we have learned the
 AC> psychologist who testified against my client had no business doing so
 AC> for two very good reasons ... We quoted case after case, nationally 
 AC> and here ..., supporting that position.  Most notable was US, DAUBERT.
I've been hearing a lot about the DAUBERT decision lately.  It must be a
pretty good one.  I'll have to look into that one.  It doesn't apply in 
our case, but I know of others where it may.
 AC> We found that the psychologist in the case was also the founder and
 AC> incorporator of the local CASA organization, which explained why that
 AC> representative was obsessed with having my client's daughters state
 AC> they had been molested.  
 
(sarcasm mode on)  How wonderful!  (mode off)  Get this, my "friends" case 
supposedly involves sexual abuse, and her family has the backing of the 
local MASA representative for their case.  
 
 AC> I'd say she overstepped her bounds when she instructed my client's 
 AC> wife to CHANGE CHURCHES because sexual abuse is hereditary and because 
 AC> her husband was a child molester, his father probably was also and 
 AC> since the children's grandfather attended the same church, it was not 
 AC> in the "girls" best interest to do so.  
 
Oh brother!  (sarcasm mode on again) I guess this makes me a child molester 
too then.  My father definately was a child molester and two of my sons 
were accused of it!  I guess there's no doubt about it now.  I MUST be a 
child molester!  Perhaps I'm doing it in my sleep and even the victim is
unaware of it. (sarcasm mode off now)  I really wonder what line some of
these people were standing in when brains got passed out.
