Family Court and the Judicial Murder of Children's Lives

Family Court and the Judicial Murder of Children's Lives

Yesterday, on the Susan Murphy Milano Show we highlighted mothers who have lost custody of their children because the court system in this country is ill equipped to properly deal with family issues involving the safe placement for custody of minor children.

Mental health experts prescribed in court by a judge on a “short list” mandated to determine the fitness of a parent and the well being of the children. What is often not determined is the safety of the child, especially when there are serious issues including sexual abuse, as we heard from Taylor’s mother a case in Virginia that wreaks of cover-up all in the name of winning a sick game called “Maternal Deprivation Abuse”. Imagine a legal system who determines financial matters and legal property disbursements using the same method on human lives under the age of 18 with total disregard for the safety and mental wellness of a child. A legal system taking on the burden of proof and yet throws it in the waste basket under their judicial bench. Sadly, with no regard for human lives and more importantly children unable to defend themselves from two evils the courts and theirabuser parent as discussed in Lundy Bancroft latest book.

The switchboard was inundated with calls from across the country from mothers asking for solutions on behalf of the silenced, their own children. After the show the email box filled up quickly because we were unable to get to all the callers woith questions.

One particular note we received on face book happens to be in my neck of the woods in Will County, Illinois. The same county where the trial for Christopher Vaughn is yet to begin for the brutal slayings of Kimberly Ellen Vaughn, 34, and her three children, Abigayle Elizabeth Vaughn, 12; Cassandra Ellen Vaughn, 11; and Blake Philip Vaughn, 8; all of Oswego, were found in June of 2007, shot to death in an SUV in far Illinois southwest. "Neighbors and friends said they were a nice family and a quiet couple."

This of course it is also the same county Drew Petersonwas finally arrested for the murder of Kathleen Savio and remains a suspect in the vanishing act of Stacy Peterson. And let us not forget that Lisa Stebic also from Will County going through a divorce has vanished and no one has been arrested. All of these women and in other cases across the country murdered because their abuser’s were not willing to split assets financially, pay child support or allow their wives to move on with their lives. These women fought and lost with their lives all in the name of a system that is like the storybook character humpty dumpty. It cannot be put back together again because it is broken.

The note said: "I know you are an advocate and maybe you can help - Right now in Will County Courthouse there is mother actually fighting for custody of her two little girls that have undergone sexual abuse. She has DNA evidence - Will County Sheriff's police refuse to send evidence over to the DA and she is being given run around. The DCFS case worker is friend of ex-husband's family and refuses to believe that there is anything going on - Basically they want her to recant and submit herself to intensive therapy which is unwarranted... based on her career, lifestyle and children's success from a previous marriage. The action is occurring in Room 300 in the Will County Courthouse- Many wonder how The Connelly children wound up dead... anyone watching in that courtroom can see how awful our family courts can be…."

Mother of Shaken Baby Speaks Out

Father Of Injured Child Sentenced To Prison, Released Same Day

POSTED: 6:19 am CDT June 8, 2009
UPDATED: 10:23 am CDT June 8, 2009

OMAHA, Neb. -- The mother of a child diagnosed with shaken baby syndrome spoke out just days after the man responsible for her son’s injuries was released from jail.

Morris Trotter was sentenced last Monday to one year in prison after pleading no contest to negligent child abuse and third-degree assault. He was released on the same day because he had already spent more than a year in jail.

Justin Trotter was injured on New Year’s Eve, 2008. That’s when his mother, Amanda Pijanowski, discovered a problem with her baby boy.

“He looked kind of funny. He looked kind of pale and I noticed there was something wrong. It was a mother’s instinct there was something wrong,” Pijanowski said. “So I started hollering his name. Tried to wake him up and we couldn’t wake him up. Me and Morris Trotter went to the emergency room later and we found out Justin was diagnosed with shaken baby syndrome.”

A year-and-a half later, the young mother said Justin is holding on to what little he has left.

“He can’t walk and he can’t talk. He just coos and that’s just basically all he does,” Pijanowski said.

Justin spent nearly two months in the hospital. Doctors performed surgery to reduce the swelling on his brain. It worked, but only to a certain point.

“When he gets older, he’s always going to be a baby,” Pijanowski said. “He’s never going to be the same ever again.”

Justin spends nearly every day in a 24-hour care facility, where he undergoes the beginning stages of rehabilitation.

His mother said the idea of any kind of a normal childhood is not an option.

“I’m heartbroken and completely destroyed inside,” she said.

Pijanowski and her parents don’t want to talk too much about the man who they say caused Justin’s problems. But they do say Morris Trotter deserves a harsher punishment.

Amanda’s father, Daniel Pijanowski said his daughter lost out on what could have been a lifetime of memories.

“She’ll never feel that feeling of putting him on the bus for his first day going to school,” he said. “She’ll never feel birthday parties with kids surrounding him. She’ll never know what it’s like when he goes to his first prom or gets his first car. It will never happen.”

Her family says Amanda is newly-engaged to another man she says will be a great father to her son.
