The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 344
doesn't know who their accusers are nor does the defendant know what the accusations
are. And the defendant is obviously barred from confronting or cross examining the
witnesses. 3) The psychologist is not obligated to question the defendants witnesses nor is
the defendant present if questioning occurs. 4) The defendant is required to give up his
fifth amendment right to keep silent. 5) Psychological tests are given on which the
psychologist bases the defendant guilt or innocence and/or their future likelihood to
commit a crime. This is much like the movie Minority Report starring Tom Cruiz where
people are convicted of a crime they never committed. 6) Some psychological tests
include extensive questions about a persons religious beliefs on which some psychologist
can and do make prejudicial judgments. 7) Psychological evaluators are not bound to
make determinations in accordance with the law. (i.e. They can determine that a parent is
guilty of child abuse because the parent spanked his child even if the law specifically
allows a parent to spank their child.) 8) Every other element of due process is missing. 9)
There is no appeal process.
Once the psychological evaluation is presented to the court it is afforded overwhelming
weight in determining a parents guilt or innocence.
After a parent receives his/her evaluation, if found guilty or found to present a risk, they
are ordered into a treatment program. As mentioned above, the parent is very likely to be
found guilty regardless of the facts.
Without a criminal conviction, an order for treatment is not binding but a parent who
refuses treatment may be denied access to their children or be required to have a
supervisor.
Joint custody is mandatory in Washington but parents frequently loose the custody of
their children as a result of evaluations. In Washington this occurs in spite of state law to
the contrary. State law requires a parent to be convicted of abusing their children in a
criminal court before their children can be removed from their custody.
A parent’s rights to visit with their children are frequently restricted as a result of
evaluations.
A parent is frequently ordered to pay for a professional supervisor to supervise their visits
with their children at $25 to $80 per hour. By law this is reserved only for those who
have been convicted of abusing their children in a criminal court but the court ignores the
law.
Some parents loose their jobs and their careers as a result of unfounded allegations.
Frequently the accused parent does not receive a fair allocation of the marital assets and
many are burdened with stiffer alimony and child support payments.
An Inside Look At Family Court
If this isn’t enough to scare you, I know of a case where the court commissioner forged
an order of protection that removed a father’s children from his custody. I've personally verified
the facts in this case. The person prefers to remain anonymous, so we'll call him Mike Boone;
most of the other names have been changed as well.
