Face Book Page

 I am going to start a Face Book page about children being wrongfully removed from their homes. Many of these children never go home. I will still some posts on here. Here is one of the articles I have written and will be putting on the Face Book page and the blog of Lawless in America. I have been chosen to be in a movie about the corruption of the justice system.
  This is an election year. People need to get involved to protect children, protect families, and get our economy back on track.

Comparing Socialization

Judge Henderson stated that people who home school their children isolate them. The chart below shows otherwise. I have sent him this chart.  Today I have also filed a federal complaint, sent letters to people who want to help us get our daughters home, and writing on Face Book. I am keeping busy because it is Angel's Birthday. We cannot celebrate with her or even contact her.

*We did not send Angel to this day camp
 because she does not handle loud noises
 very well and needing naps in the afternoon
because of  her having Mitochondrial Myopathy.

Catrina is at a camp this week so we are very worried about Angel. She will be spending too much time in the basement by herself. Catrina told David what they were doing this summer. This how I was able to come up with this chart. Catrina made the statements in front of a social worker. There has been no report filed to check on their welfare because of how much time they are spending the basement. Judge Henderson stated that he did not want them isolated because of home schooling. They are being isolated from being in public school and foster care/permanent custodian.

Update Letter




This is an update to what is happening with us trying to get our daughters back.  My husband (David) and I have been trying to figure out why I am not being allowed to see our daughters. I have not seen our daughters in 6 months. I also needed to read the court reports to tell lawyers what is in them so the lawyers can decide if they want to help us or not. We have two attorneys interested in our case. One wants $7500 and the other $2500. I also need to hire Louisa Lasher. She is an expert on Munchausen By Proxy (MBP).  Youthville social worker has diagnosed me with MBP. She does not know much about MBP. She stated to the lawyers and judge that it is just a mental health issue. All she needs is therapy and medication. I was telling everybody that it is a crime. There is no medication for it.  I found out from someone, who has been trying to get the state agency (SRS) and juvenile courts to follow the laws, that many moms have been accused of MBP by Youthville workers. The mothers are too afraid to challenge Youthville because they are told if they do not go along with what SRS wants, you will never see your children again.  I had been emailing Dr. Feldman about being accused of MBP. He emailed me to contact Louisa Lasher. She has told me that social workers who accuse a person of MBP must have a special license/certificate to do so plus the social worker must be working with a doctor of psychology or psychiatry who also has the special license/certificate to evaluate a person for MBP. The social worker who told the court that I have MBP does not have the certification/license to make the accusation. There are no doctors of psychology or psychiatry in Kansas who can evaluate a person for MBP. Someone has told me that there is possibly a federal which punishes social workers and doctors who accuse a person with having MBP because the social worker or doctor did not have the special certification/license to make the accusation.  There is no evidence showing that I have MBP. Here is the list of issues that the social worker, my two sisters, and Roy (my dad) use to accuse me of having MBP:

1.       Exaggerate our daughters’ medical issues. I did not discuss their medical issues with my family. I would only let them know when Angel and Catrina were going into the hospital. If we would let them take Angel and Catrina somewhere or baby sit them, I would let them know how to use their emergency medications and important health issues they would need to know if an emergency came up.

2.       Hypochondriac- Roy does not want to believe that our daughters and I have Mitochondrial Myopathy. He would have to realize that he abused me because I have a disease. He would spank until he left marks. The worst was when I was 6 years old. I could not sit or lay on my backside because of the spanking.

3.       I forced doctors to diagnose us with Mitochondrial Myopathy.

4.       Will not take Angel and Catrina to the doctor.

5.       Took too long to get medical tests completed.

6.       Did not schedule an appointment with a specialist. Social worker is claiming that they were to see the specialist every 2 years. Since our daughters have been going to this specialist, the appointments were every 4 years. I had in my calendar to make the appointment in early 2012.

7.       Invested in our daughters being sick. The social worker is stating this because of me making sure that schools, baby sitters, respite care, Special Olympics, and other organizations they belong to know how to take care of them appropriately because of their disease and the unusual seizures Angel has.

8.       Improperly gave emergency seizure medication even though I followed doctor’s orders.

9.       I know too much about Mitochondrial Myopathy.

10.    Angel and Catrina’s health improved significantly since going into foster care. There are no doctors’ reports to back this up. I saw the social worker argue and bully doctors and therapists that have taken care of them for years. These doctors and therapists refused to submit a report stating that their health has significantly improved because their health has had small improvements, stayed the same, or got worse in different areas. The doctors and therapists were not happy about new muscle issues and Angel’s life skills regressed because the foster care workers and foster parents did not follow doctors’ and therapists’ orders.

11.    I interfered with the dentist working on Catrina’s teeth. This did not happen. The dentists kept encouraging me to get closer to her head so she could see me and be more at ease. Angel and Catrina have anxiety about going to the dentist because they were victims of Small Smiles- dentists would not allow parents go with their children into the procedure rooms, tied children down, and would use a dental tool to make children sit still (it is pointy and the dentist or tech would poke it into the child’s gum if the child squirmed or cried too much).

12.    I wanted doctor’s letter attached to the IEP.

13.    I want schools to follow doctors’ orders and safety protocol.

14.     I wanted Angel and Catrina to wear their leg braces as instructed by the doctor and therapists.

15.    I want Angel to have access to her wheel chair when she feels over fatigued. This was by doctor’s orders. She is also to use the wheel chair when she has had a medical procedure where she had to be sedated. She may need to use it when she cannot wear her leg braces because of sores or injury to the leg or foot. This is to prevent her lactic acid from getting too high. El Dorado Middle School did not follow doctor’s orders which led to Angel’s lactic acid getting too high. This can cause damage to the muscles.

16.    I have erratic behavior. I was told that there is no reason for me to be angry. I was also told crying is not allowed.

17.    I have the same disease as our daughters.

18.    I want to isolate them by home schooling them.

19.    I favor Catrina over Angel.

20.    I allow Catrina to manipulate and act like a baby.

David has been seeing our daughters since the end of June. We are very concerned about them. David has told me that they are not as happy as when the first visitation took place. Catrina told him that they spend most of the day in the basement. They were not happy that they did not go to MDA camp. Angel talks very little. She is not using complete sentences. She is autistic.

 I sent the chief justice of family law and the judge who is handling our case a letter which tells of the lies that are in the court reports. I sent in the letter the proof needed to show that the information in the court reports are lies.



 I am also preparing to be in a documentary about corruption in the justice system. I receive emails giving me updates on the movie. William Windsor is the one doing the movie –Lawless in America. He is to be in Wichita, KS around       October 9, 2012. I am also going to Washington, DC to talk to senators and representatives about the corruption in juvenile courts.

  Since our primary is August 7, I made posters explaining why I am supporting O’Connor for Sedgwick County DA. Two of the posters also let our neighbors and friends know about Kids for Cash.

  I am hoping to have them home before their birthdays and school starting. I made a chart comparing socialization when at home and the home they are staying at right now. I will attach the chart.

 I am very worried about Angel and Catrina’s mental health. They both developed mental health issues after going into foster care.

Kids for Cash


Hi!
 I apologize for not keeping the blog up to date as to what is going on. We were trying to raise money on a fundraising website. It did not work. We were told about some people to contact us who might be able to help plus we have some wonderful friends who are trying to help us raise the money. We have two attorneys interested in our case. The first attorney wanted $7500 to start the process. The second attorney needs $2500 to start the process. Kasey Shepherd, Youthville worker, has accused me of Munchausen (Syndrome) By Proxy. This is a crime besides a mental health problem. She has no evidence. People, who I have been getting information about the corruption in the juvenile courts and SRS which is now Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), told me that other parents have been accused of this and told if they do not cooperate, they will never see their children. Shepherd tells the lawyers and judges that the person just needs therapy and medication plus it is not a crime. I have been talking to two MBP experts. There is no medication for MBP. The therapy is sending the person to prison and never allowing them to be around children ever again. Shepherd may have violated a federal law when she falsely accused me and other parents with MBP because she must have a special certification/license to evaluate a person with MBP plus be working with a doctor of psychiatry or psychology that also has the special certification/license. There are no doctors in Kansas with this certification/license. Shepherd does not have the certification/license.
 I have been chosen to be in a movie that is telling about the corruption in the justice system. The crew is to be in Wichita during the week of October 8, 2012. Our family will be going to Washington, DC to speak to Senators and Representatives about Kids for Cash. Hopefully Angel and Catrina will be home to travel with us.
It is Angel’s birthday on Tuesday, August 7.







 
 
 
I am not allowed to go to the visits
I wrote Judge Henderson and Judge Fleetwood (Chief Justice for Family Law). I sent them the proof that our religious rights are being violated and in the first 10 pages of a court document has a minimum of 40 lies. I thought only the truth could be in court documents and told in court? I told them that it would be an excellent birthday gift for Angel to send them home now.
Parents protect your children from DCFS and Juvenile Court!!


CBS Buzz Tour with Burton Roberts from Survivor Pearl Islands. I also talked to people about Kids for Cash.

CASA worker and SRS with education

 CASA workers are suppose to be sure the child or children have a voice in what is happening in their life. The CASA worker should not know any of the family members before being assigned to a child or children. Our daughters CASA worker used to work with my sister's husband. She knew that they are unable to have children. Did she really do what was best for Angel and Catrina or make Sheial and Jeff's dream come true of havinf children in the home. I am writing the head of CASA because the Wichita/Sedgwick County CASA did not act in the best interest of our daughters. She spent time seeing how they did around Sheial and Jeff. She never spent time with the real family. How does the CASA worker really know how the family works if she never spends anytime with the family unit? I have met other CASA workers from being a substitute teacher and an intern working on my education/science degree. The CASA worker would let me know how the child interacted with all of the family members. He/she knew who the child was especially close to. Our daughters' CASA worker cannot say that. I am going to ask that a new rule be put in place that if the CASA worker knows any of the family members that he/she asked to be replaced. CASA workers are supposed to give the child or children a voice. Where was my daughters' voices?  On Tuesday, I am going to give them a chance to be heard. I am going to ask them to write or make a web video downloaded to a disk that can be sent to everybody I have written to so that they can finally be heard.
 Kansans need to start protecting the children and families and tell the state law makers and judges that all laws are to be followed. If the CINC court is gone. Children are placed in foster care because they are truly being abused and/ or negelcted. There should be no child falling through the cracks. Truancy should never be handles in the courts and taking children out of their homes. Stephanie Uhlik, SRS worker, told us that she can make us change churches, change faith, and even not to believe in God. If you do not do as I say, I will take your children. She did it. She ordered Ruth Clark Elementary School to have an IEP meeting even though Catrina was no longer attending school. SRS violating religious rights and over stepping grounds because Catrina was not in SRS custody until 7 days later. I tried to get her to look at the curriculum. I showed Ms. Uhlik that we are a registered home school. We even joined 2 organizations. They are christian organizations with home schooling. She foumd out that our curriculum is Christ-centered. She told us that she would find a way to make us change curriculum or put our children back into public school because religious curriculum is unacceptable. Is SRS going to close down Christian schools, Catholic schools, Lutheran schools, Jewish schools, etc.?  If we cannoit use religious curriculum in home schooling, how can these private schools use their curriculum because the home schooling laws fall under the private school laws in Kansas?
 Parents when will your child be taken because you want your child to attend church. Our daughters could only attend church if it did not interfere with them attending school. My husband and I had talked about our children attending parochial school even before they were born. WE did not know that we would be blessed with two beautiful daughters with special needs. Since they have IEPs, the parochial schools we wanted to send them to could not accept them as students. Other parents of special needs children were telling us about home schooling. I finally found Alpha Omega Publications that hat acceptable Christ-centered curriculum which I could adapt to their learning needs. SRS took our children after we did everything by the Kansas Education laws to home school.
 Parents you better start speaking up or else you will also lose your rights to chose religion and education for your children.

Who is to chose the religion and education for the family?

 Below is my letter to Governor Brownback:

                                                                                                                                January 11, 2012

Dear Governor Brownback,

 You ran on the platform protect Kansas children and families. Sedgwick County Juvenile Court with CINC cases is not sending children home. The percentage for reintegration in Sedgwick County is 8%. Kansas reintegration percentage is 25% .The national average is over 50%. I see a huge problem. I voted for you because you said you are going to protect children and families. I am going to send you the proof that the State’s attorney has Youthville case managers talk to doctors to write reports which states that the parent is either unfit or a danger. In my psychological report which was accepted by the court, it states that the doctor talked to the Youthville case manager and gives the name of the worker. The court was only accepting professional reports which would help them take our rights. Many people felt I was over reacting. The psychiatric report the doctor comments on my fears about my daughters being taken. He states that her insights and judgments are fair. Our attorneys even stated that at this time Sedgwick County Juvenile Court does not plan on reintegrating any children back into their home so we are recommending that all parents accept permanent custodian or else you will lose your rights and never see your children again. You will have to state in court that you are not being forced to take this arrangement. What do you call when if you do not accept this deal, you will never see your children again? There was also the condition that we also had to agree to that currently we are not fit parents. If we would not do that then we would lose our rights. Our attorneys explained to us that if something happens and the court is looking to place the children with us, we have our rights and we have to be considered because the State has not proven (yesterday could not prove) that both of us would be unfit parents in the future. I did question because the psychology report on me states I will not change. It is the only doctor’s report which states that so is not enough to say what will happen in the future.

 Our daughters were taken because in a court report, no evidence stated, we were not taking our children to the doctor. We proved in court that we were taking them to the doctor. We asked why they are not coming home. We were told that the State wants to prove that you are unfit parents. Angel was first taken by the Butler County Juvenile Court. I had proof that the judge allowed a lie to take Angel out of the home. One of our lawyers told us that Butler County corrected their error by sending her home when Dr. Lindholm gave information to the State’s attorney then testified on Sept.28, 2010 that keeping Angel out of the home will hurt her health and possibly lead to death. Dr. Lindholm submitted two letters to the Sedgwick County Court. I only have the January’s letter. There was a second letter submitted to the court in March2011 by Dr. Lindholm. The letter expressed that the doctor would like Angel returned home because her EEG which was ordered by Youthville is Angel’s worst EEG yet. Butler County sent her home because Dr. Lindholm had already scheduled an EEG before she was placed in SRS custody because a social worker caused her to have an eight minute seizure. The EEG was done on          September 17, 2010. Angel came home 11 days later. These two EEGs do not follow the pattern that her previous EEGs did.  Judge Henderson would only accept the letter if the reason given to return Angel home was not based on any medical testing. He also stated at this hearing that he would consider sending them home if he had seen in the records that there has ever been a safety plan with this family. He stated he did not see any plans in the records. I always have a safety plan. The Family Preservation records should show there was a safety plan. On the psychological report addendum on David the doctor states there has been a safety plan. Dr. Lindholm’s January letter on page 7 talks about the seizure he is worried will happen if Angel is not returned home. I have some information on this seizure. My understanding is if she has this seizure there is a very small chance that she will be alive. This seizure is normally fatal. The reason Dr. Lindholm was concentrating on getting Angel home is because Catrina will stay in custody if Angel stays in custody. The court report that was submitted on January 20, 2011 states that we were not taking Angel to the doctor so we must not be taking Catrina to the doctor. Since they have been in foster care, Angel and Catrina have developed mental health issues. I will include those reports. The reports state the children have been abused and neglected. There is no evidence. Youthville case worker told the psychologist that they were abused and neglected. Angel and Catrina were taken January 20, 2011. The test report was written in September 2011. I have had people tell me that children who are taken wrongfully will develop post-traumatic stress disorder.

   Youthville and the courts will tell you that their health has improved greatly. There is a huge problem with them saying that. Youthville does not take the children to the same doctors the parents were. These doctors have only seen them very little compared to the doctors who have been treating them for years who refused to state that their health has not greatly improved. Some of these doctors were being called to testify. I have found out by talking to the staff of the doctors( such as Dr. Lindholm)who have testified or written reports/letters that tells the children would be better or the same at home as it is in foster care, have received letters threatening their licenses. I was terrified what the State’s attorney would threaten then with after their testimony and how it would affect their treatment of our daughters. I asked if the doctors were actually turning in reports or was it in Youthville court reports. I found out mostly in Youthville court reports. They did keep them with Dr. Riva, Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) physical therapist (PT) and occupational therapist (OT). I was appalled when I witnessed the Youthville case manager argue with Dr. Riva and the OT. She told them that Angel and Catrina’s health has greatly improved. Both stated they do not see great improvement. They see that they are slightly better in some areas and the same in the other areas. The OT did point out that Angel was a little stronger on one side and had become a little weaker on the other plus she is not doing all the life skills she was doing at home. The Youthville case worker argued with him for over 5 minutes before he made that statement.  The MDA PT person in May told Youthville workers that Angel has developed new leg issues because she was not allowed to wear her braces as instructed. I am going to attach the log I have been keeping track of their health and accidents while in foster care. Youthville is also challenging the diagnosis of Mitochondrial Myopathy. Angel, Catrina, and I were diagnosed by a German specialist, pediatric neurologist, and genetics doctor at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. I am trying to recover the files but there is a chance they have been destroyed because we had not used the records in 9 years. Dr. Lindholm has all of Angel and Catrina’s military medical records. Angel and Catrina are not allowed to be treated by him. He is the only MDA specialist in Kansas who has trained with the top Mitochondrial Myopathy doctor.

 I am also including the IEP meeting notes for Catrina. The date of the meeting was January13, 2011. David took a letter and the registration of our home school to Ruth Clark Elementary School to let them know she will no longer attend school. We were home schooling for religious and health reasons.  The letter was dated Dec. 3, 2010. Catrina was not in SRS custody until January 20, 2011. I am also sending important documents about our home school. The meeting was ordered by Stephanie Uhlik, SRS worker. One of us had to attend according to SRS and DCCCA. I had explained to them that since she is no longer enrolled in Kansas public schools this meeting is illegal and will show you are violating our religious rights. The school Catrina attends now even explained to Youthville that Halstead could be in trouble for not having an IEP meeting to reactivate the IEP and start testing Catrina to see if she qualifies for special education. They explained since she was pulled out to be home schooled, the IEP was no longer valid. I have told the lawyers and Kansas government representatives what I was told by Ms. Uhlik- I can make you change faith, change churches, and even to not believe in God and if you do not do as I say, I will take your children. I will find a way to make you change curriculum or put Catrina back into school. This was stated on more than one meeting and a Family Preservation worker was present on those days. I belong to two home school organizations that if you do not show authority persons your curriculum, completed work, what you are working on, and records then you will not be in the organizations anymore. I am still a member of both organizations.

 With the Sedgwick County Juvenile Court taking our children away, this tells us that the State is not allowing the parents to choose what religion or education to teach their children. This action violates our civil rights as stated in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. David is a disabled veteran. He has served his country for over 26 years- USAF and Kansas Army Guard. The action of the court is also telling veteran’s that if you are disabled because of your service, you will not be allowed to raise your children with your spouse. The only way to correct this violation is by sending our children home immediately.

 I have found out that the subcommittee Happy Families and Communities are investigating children being turned in for being truant then ending up in foster care with no evidence of abuse and/or neglect. Need to investigate which juvenile courts are only acting on court reports with no evidence attached to remove children from the home.  Many people have told me the easiest way to take a child from their family is through the CINC courts. This court needs to be closed. Truancy should only be handled out of court unless the State can prove which very clear evidence that the parent is guilty of breaking the law. Many parents are not told about resources for helping them with issues with their children. The family would be better served with education instead of destroying the family. Kansas courts need to be investigated for credibility. There is too much evidence showing that the judges are allowing untruthful facts to decide a case. Nola Foulston’s office has a high overturn on judgments because of misconduct of her office.  I am attaching a note about what is missing in my psychological report and why the report is questionable.

 Youthville’s motto is giving children back their childhood. Youthville’s motto should be parents beware of us because we will hurt your children and destroy your family. Close Youthville before another child is hurt or killed.

 We are begging for the return of our children for health reasons. It is our right to choose the religion our family wants to practice.





Sincerely,

David W. Owen
