The retaliation and retribution has begun:
when I started this web site in August, I knew that I was going to anger some of the key players in my case. However, I also knew that until someone had the courage to come forward and challenge the corruption within the system, that nothing would change. I decided that I had the strength of character to be that person to make the challenge and stand up for what is right. Kathleen Miholich has now started her retaliation. She had appointed her office "friend," Kim Wright, as the girls' therapist. i have always felt that this was a confliction of interest, since Kathleen and Kim have an additional relationship, working out of the same office.
Yesterday, Kathleen forwarded an email from Kim with a recommendation for supervised visits. What I find so sad is the effort it took to come up with a reason. Supposedly my daughters have complained that during my time with them I have playdates, let them watch television and am on the computer. The last item, I know is made up by either Kim and Kathleen or Adam. Other than going on the computer to mapqwest directions and get key info for the play dates, ie: phone numbers such, I do not use the computer during the 2 years that I have had the girls' on Saturdays.
The fact that neither Kim nor Kathleen can say that I am a danger to the children, let's lyou know how hard they tried. When I confronted Kim, yesterday, she claimed that Kathleen had sent her an email requesting that she give Kathleen some reasons for supervised visits. However, when you look at Kim's email, I have serious doubts. Kim also stated that her intent was not to take away the Saturdays that the girls' and I already have together. When a person can not stand by their recommendation when face to face with you, you know that they know what harm they are causing and that they are being dishonest. Kim finally stated that it is due to my web site that she is making the recommendation. I guess, according to Kathleen Miholich and Kim Wright, freedom of speech does not exist - unless you pay them for it.
I think the final question is whether or not Ruth Hilliard has any integrity left.Will she back up Kathleen and Kim even though their recommendation is ludicrous compared to the realisty of what is happening out there to our children. There are parents molesting, beating and killing children everday - yet Kim Wright feels that the fact that I schedule playdates and let them watch 2 episodes of television on Saturdays makes me a danger. Even though Kim won't go so far as to say "danger," really the only reason for supervised visits is because the parent is a danger to the children.
I have been expecting this and am prepared for it. The ones who are going to be hurt the most, are my daughters. I also can not believe that the state of Arizona is actively participating and aiding in the alienation of my children. Kim and Kathleen know that I can't afford supervised visits and that this recommendation is basically taking me out of my children's lives. That is the therapist that Kim Wright is, out of revenge, retaliation or whatever she would harm children in the utmost way, by removing their mother from their lives. The damage that they are doing to these girls is unforgiveable. This is why I must continue. My children are not the only ones being hurt and damaged by these people in Maricopa County. Most parents are so afraid of these people that they will not speak out. I refuse to be silenced, someone has to fight for our children.
Several months ago, I issued a challenge to the group, Shattered Fathers. I wanted to point out that there are equal fathers as well as mothers that share in the responsibility of not getting along. I challenged them to get Adam Marc James to "lay down his arms" and attempt to get along in the best interest of our children. His response was to file a new OOP. Now, he is once again claiming that my blogging and web site makes me a dangerous person. The sad thing is that within Maricopa County, there is such corruption that he will probably be able to accomplish his goal. It is quite sad that all I want to do is make our government aware that we are in the midst of an epidemic that is spiraling out of control.. If that makes me a danger to Adam Marc James, then I ask, why? If Adam Marc James is not abusing our children, then what is he so worried about? That I might teach our children to stand up and fight back against atrocities in our society? I am sorry that he is threatened by a woman who is willing to stand up for herselg. I understand that he wasn't expecting this, after all I have kept quiet about all that he has done to me in the past. I am not going to be quiet any longer. I am not going to be a victim, and I am not going to raise my children to be victims. If this makes me a danger, then all of the men and women who are fighting in Iraq and Afganistan, along with the President and all of our elected officials should be judged right along side me. Isn't that what we went into those countries for? To right a wrong? Not everyone agreed, but I don't think that any of those people have lost the right to be in their children's lives... That is what this web site is about. Parents who are attempting to fight to protect their children, other children and are being persecuted by the ex, the court system, the judges. I always knew that it would come to this. I accepted the corruption within Maricopa County and knew that Ruth Hilliard had abeen bought and paid for.... Now, we will see the truth. My children do not know anything about my website other than it is a business that I work on. So, how my activism is a danger to them is beyond me, but I am sure that between Adam Marc James, Kathleen Miholich and Ruth Hilliard - they will find a way to make it so.I have one thing to put out there to Ruth Hilliard and Kathleen Miholich - if you are going to take me out of my girls' lives, you are denying them their Jewish heritage, I request that it become mandatory that they attend the synagogue that their father refuses to allow them to be a part of. Otherwise, Adam Marc James anti-semitism wins.

Subject: Status of report
Dear Ms. Miholich,
Please provide us with a status of your report to the Court concerning this matter. My client has growing concerns about the stability of Ms. Abrams and is concerned about the safety of his children. He has circulated to all the most recent statements from Ms. Abrams and it would appear that his growing concerns may have some merit. Her writings are becoming more hostile, aggressive and outlandish.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Judy Morse

This journey that I have been on with my children for two years now never fails to shock and sadden me. As mothers, we are so easily convinced to take responsibility for so many things. People often ask why I never said a word about the physical and sexual abuse that I suffered at the hands of their father, because I was attempting to put their best interests ahead of mine. As a mother, I truly attempt to make everything perfect in my children's lives and as a mother, I feel responsible for every hurt that they have.
When my girls' tell me about how their father is abusing them, I feel guilty - it's my responsibility to protect them and I can't. Here is an article about a mother who thought she was doing what was best for her children, however the end result was the death of her child... why are women held to a higher standard than men?
TODDLER DEATH: County warned about father
In letter, boy's mother expressed 'great concern' about parenting skills
By DAVID KIHARA
REVIEW-JOURNAL
About three weeks before 33-month-old Zander Martino was allegedly beaten to death by his father, the boy's mother sent a letter to Clark County child protective services noting that she had "great concern" about the father's parenting skills.
Joanna Cunningham, 21, wrote that she was worried that Richard "Todd" Martino was disciplining their three children too harshly, including forcing Zander to stand in a corner until he passed out.
"I ... have great concern as to Mr. Martino's parenting skills, such as the overly excessive use of timeouts, sending our children to be(d) without dinner," she wrote.
Speaking Thursday from her home in Ukiah, in northeastern Oregon, Cunningham said she sent the letter because she was worried that Martino would hurt Zander, 3-year-old daughter Hailey and 1-year-old son Alan.
The children were in Martino's custody when Zander died.
"He was very rough with the kids," Cunningham said Thursday.
Still, she and her mother, Nancy Burr, 41, had not thought any of the children's lives were at risk.
"We were concerned about how he (Martino) disciplined the kids, but I never in a million years could believe he would do this. What would possess a man to take a hammer and beat your child to death?" Burr said.
That's what Las Vegas police allege the 25-year-old father did.
Martino and his live-in girlfriend, 22-year-old Brandi Reeves, have been in the county jail since Wednesday on charges of murder by child abuse.
Police allege Martino beat Zander to death on July 9 or 10. Hailey told a child protective services worker that "Dad hit Zander with a hammer" the night before paramedics were called to the home and found the boy dead, according to the arrest report.
Authorities charged Reeves with murder because, they allege, she didn't stop the abuse.
Martino and Reeves told police that they weren't responsible for Zander's death.
Martino gained full custody of the children in April.
A county official signed for the acceptance of Cunningham's certified letter on June 22, according to the receipt. Christine Skorupski, spokeswoman for the Department of Family Services, said the letter didn't contain anything indicating that the children were in immediate danger.
She wouldn't say what, if any, action was taken by county child welfare workers in response to the letter.
"Any kind of parental concerns brought to a case manager are addressed," she said.
On June 19, Zander and the other children were pulled out of their father's home when authorities discovered an injury to the boy. A family court hearing master returned Zander and his siblings to their father on June 28 because authorities couldn't determine that the injuries they had red-flagged were caused by abuse.
When Zander was an infant, child protective services determined that he had been abused.
In December 2004, when Martino and Cunningham were still together, Zander and Hailey were removed from the couple's care after the boy was found to have a broken femur, several broken ribs and a broken collarbone, Cunningham said.
She said in court in 2005 that she was responsible for Zander's injuries, but she said Thursday that she had falsely confessed because her attorney told her that confessing would get her children out of protective custody.
She said she never abused Zander or the other children.
After being born about a month premature and having to overcome breathing problems, "Zander was my angel child," Cunningham said.
She said that she believed Martino had hurt Zander in 2004 but that she had no evidence to support her claim.
I started this website for a variety of reasons. One of the ones that I felt was the most important was to help people learn from my mistakes, mind you that by admitting that I am human and make mistakes - I made a whopper of a mistake.
I recently had an epiphany and I feel a need to share it with all of you. As many people out there know, I have been dealing with Adam Marc James for the past 7 plus years. It is extremely difficult to deal with him and I get extremely frustrated by his behavior. However, recently I began to come to the realization that Adam Marc James does not behave the way he does to be difficult, he does it because he is mentally impaired (at least I believe it to be so). I have often said that there is a connection somewhere in Adam's brain that is not meeting, it has taken me all of this time to realize that I am absolutely correct in my analysis of Adam's brain.
I good example would be the fact that after 4 years of fighting Adam and the Maricopa County Family Court System, Adam still claims that I deliberately refused to give the girls his last name. Kathleen Miholich has told him twice that I did not have an option to give them his last name due to his absence. However, I know that he can't grasp that.
Reading his Order Of Protection opened my eyes somewhat. I think that Adam truly believes what he filed for. He truly believes that when I post about family annihilators, that I am threatening him. For in his mental impairment he can not compute that my web site is about more than my children and the situation. I even attempted to explain that in creating my web site and finding out what is going out in the world of family court, I was so appalled at what was going on that some of the purpose of my web site changed... he can't grasp it. This is probably due to his Narcissistic Personality Disorder - his mental impairment of not being able to grasp that things are not always about him.
It is this same mental impairment that allows him to believe that he did not force me into giving him oral sex because he wasn't holding a gun on me, by the way he owns a gun and has made sure that I am aware of that fact.
I also realize that when he had Quail Run turn me away by stating that I did not have any right to be at the school, he believed it. He was not being a jerk... He truly can not comprehend that I am allowed to participate in the school activities.
Just like he believes that I can not attend Girl Scouts. Adam, Girl Scouts are held at Coco's... it's a public place and I believe that you are out of luck. I will be double checking that and then I will begin to attend girl scouts.... I can go to Coco's and sit there and watch them as long as I do not approach you.
The thing that is so disheartening is that John Moran's office and Julie Skakoon surely saw this mental impairment and refused to report on it the court. It surely would change custody, if the courts knew that he was mentally impaired... for his impairment makes him a danger to me, the girls and society.
