Dedicated to Judge Lori Christian and Judge Michael Denning Re A Lost Child Divorce Court Blues

Dedicated to Judge Lori Christian and Judge Michael Denning Re A Lost Child

It was at the age of 12/13 years old, that I went down to the court house to seek a Juvenile Petition against my step-daughter. 

Why?  It was after being told I want to go to the kitchen, get a knife and stab you in your sleep.

It was after taking steps like make false allegations against me.

It was after refusing to be in mental health therapy. 

It was for her best interest.

For years, I saw directly her mom turn her against her step-mom, on the paternal side. 

He mom’s directed her to do certain things, and, my step-daughter did them, but, she also always went one step further than what her mother instructed her to do.  Those additional steps often got her, my step-daughter, into further trouble. 

It all worked, she was banned from her own dad’s home.  The visitations there dwindled.  Also, her father just stepped back not willing to fight for his daughter.  Too many other things were his priority.  So, I raised and cared for his daughter.  She was my daughter, and, I was determined to get help for my daughter. 

So, when my Ex-wife took steps to “set me up” and destroy my relationship with my step-daughter, I sought to legally step in by involving the courts as a third person to get the help that was needed.  The end result was my ex-wife used that action as a catalyst to leave the home.  She said, “You see, he does not care for you, he just wants you to go to jail”.  Not so, the purpose was to help my daughter get the help she needed.  Forced/involuntary therapy and services. 

My ex-wife refused mental health services for herself.  She refused to get help continuously from the church.  She was set in her ways.  But it was scary.  The mental health problems came with attempts at self injury, and, in retro-spec, I should have sought involuntary commitment during certain incidents.  So, I was at peace when she said she wanted to leave.  I did not want blood on my hands, although the leaving was under false pretenses because she was having sex with the church drummer/star praise and worship leader.

What I sought through the courts was orders to stop my daughter from being placed in injurious environments.  Something my mom had done.  She basically had divorced her brothers and sisters and aunts and uncles because of substance abuse and lengthy illegal activities and records.  That was my heritage.  It was a protectionist purpose, although it was a feeble attempt, it basically worked; that was what my mom did and I wanted to follow.  It basically worked because it instilled within us a an opportunity to choose a better path.  And we did.  That is why my mom has children with educational degrees and careers versus criminal records. 

I did not want her, My step-daughter, to be at “their houses” because of the drug activity there. 

Do not use my cars and drive my children without a license.

The response from my ex-wife was they are my family. 

You are not fun, she said.

You do not drink, she said.

You do not dance, she said.

You do not go to clubs, she said.

You do not smoke weed or use drugs, she said.

All you do is go to church.

You do not want to be a swinging couple, she said. 

I wanted to protect and nurture. 

I was all those things before we got married, and, I guess with marriage her purpose was to change me.

Well, and then came divorce and court action. 

She moved in with her boyfriend, “from one bedroom to another”.

And the court ordered that she not reside there, or anywhere where those activities I discussed happened [drugs, driving without a license, etc, all types of injurious environments]. 

So, she did not move out of the Boyfriend’s residence, so, I filed show causes.

Show causes that were subsequently removed from the files without rulings.

Contempt motions and other motions were filed and scheduled, and, under Judge Lori Christian, they were not responded to. Under Judge Michael Dennings, they disappeared altogether from the file.  Multiple inquiries were made with the custodians of court.  The ending file was closed out with outstanding matters, an administrative close out, while knowing all matters were not resolved. 

When a new judge is assigned to a case, and the old one was removed for cause, and that being due process denials and civil rights violations,  Then, the new judge is charged with reviewing the case a new and making sure he hears the matters at the bar.  Not so, the new judge just continued the previous orders and findings of fact.  A clear violation of the judicial charge, and due process and civil rights.  The Welcome sign is “Welcome to the North Carolina 10 District Court, Family Court Division.” 

The purpose and hopes were the court would protect my children and step-daughter.  Instead, the courts allowed or caused to be allowed for the children to stay in an injurious environment.  Perjury is an ancient relic.  Due Process is something left at the doors of the court house. 

So, with knowledge, the courts knew the children were in an injurious environment and knew that my ex-wife was not taking proper care for the children.  But, was primary custody changed to the protector.  No. 

In those injurious environments, my step-daughter continued to learn the ways of criminals.  The very thing I sought to avoid, the very thing she advocated for [my ex-wife], was that my step-daughter got charged with a felony last year.  Now I can say, Thank you Judge Lori Christian and Judge Michael Dennings for contributing to making a criminal.  I wanted the best for my children, and that was for them not to be in those environments.  But, after bringing the matter to your attention, your responses were not to protect, but, to condone children staying in that environment.  A Blind Eye of the Law?  The Inappropriate Use of “Judicial Discretion”.   A license to injure you all did issue and use. 

This is an open letter to those Esteemed and Honorable Judges, Judge Michael Denning, Judge Lori Christian, and, Family Court Coordinator Pamela Reese, whom contributed to the making of a criminal. 

The purpose in my heart was to protect my children while they reside in North Carolina.  Your purpose is to “get paid” and be a public servant, while doing a disservice to the public. 

I am so saddened and disappointed.  I pray for my children.  A hedge of protection.

Yes, in part it was the choice of the A/B Honor student to engage in criminal activities.  That shows she is knowledgeable. But, it does not negate the contributory aspects of your actions.  That was my ex-wife’s claim to fame; “My daughter is an A/B Honor Student,” and, I kept saying “Stop, she looks at porn and is taking on criminal aspects [by being in those environments]”.  No one heeded my calls for help. 

Justice Denied.

The purpose of this open letter is to cry out and speak up with those  and let it be known what happened.  I just am hoping and praying my Step-daughter makes it out alive and Straightens Up.  I love all my children but do not want to attend funerals for them because of continuing to be in injurious environment like Gang run tattoo parlors and hair salons.  Here to help and pray.  Could you not see where the desires to be a stripper come if they were instilled by high ranking strippers in your family. Hum.  That is why I try to help and pray.
