During the session on February 26, 2014, which I posted recently on this blog, Senator Kissel made an allegation which he attributed to Judge Patrick Carroll that Coalition members posted personal and private information regarding Judges and their families on facebook and other social media websites.
As a member of the Coalition, I am offended that this false allegation made its way into the public discussion regarding the reappointment of Judge Olear, skewing the outcome of the Senate vote. This is exactly the kind of situation victims of family court have reported on frequently, i.e. situations where one or the other party makes false allegations which the court takes as the truth without verifying the facts properly. The end result is considerable harm and damage to the injured party.
In a public debate in the Senate, no Senator should make public statements about a group of people which is untrue.
When I reported on this situation to other activists, I received the following response from one contributor. While I do not endorse all of this person's sentiments, I do consider the anger and indignation that underlies them quite justifiable.
See below:
"all is fair game.....if the judges are going to be self appointed rulers and act on their own beliefs, prejudices etc, not on the rule of law then it is open season on anything in the life of the judge. if you read the writings of Justice Anthony Scalia of Scotus, he tells you to find out everything there is to know about a judge.....everything....might as well follow his advice......his address is known, his kids are known, he knows this....it is part of being a judge....of course he is a pretty amazing judge....the trash we have in connecticut needs to be taken to the dump.....might as well make a webpage on every family court judge, describe everything about them, their childhoods, their own divorces, their own personal misconducts, their failures to uphold law.....everything.....this is what makes a society civilized........only way to clean up the failed judiciary is to expose the judges for the crooks, fools, and clowns that they really are......no one forced them to sit on the bench and destroy people's lives, destroy children, steal money and ignore the constitution."
As a person who writes a blog on the CT Family Court system, I receive emails every day about the tragic injustices that occur in family court where lives are destroyed daily by evil, corrupt judges who appoint GALs who exploit and take advantage of family court victims both financially and emotionally and drive them to despair.
Does this contributor's remarks appear shocking to you?
They are no more shocking that the cruel and harsh reality of the injustice and wrongdoing which is the standard in Family Courtrooms throughout Connecticut.
We need reform today. We cannot wait.

YOU have posted personal and family information about attorneys on this website so calling out a Senator shows how off base you are. The actions of you and your cohorts to take your "fight" public just speaks to why many of you have lost your rights to your children.
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong about posting an opinion about a Judge, Guardian ad litem, lawyer or others from the divorce industry. The process of divorce has remained shrouded in secrecy with a lack of accountability for these parties. The result has been a lack of accountability on behalf of the divorce industry and Judges that are tasked with providing management. If as a parent/ consumer I offer "information" about these stakeholders in the divorce industry that helps other parents/ consumers from suffering then I am bound to tell my story.
DeleteCould you point out the specific blogs where "personal and family information about attorneys" are on this website? and I will check into that. I want to know specifically what you are talking about. I will say that people forced into positions of helplessness by corrupt and malicious individuals who have tremendous power over them will fight back. If those individuals don't like it they should abuse their power and act in corrupt and exploitative ways. I do think that the way you are taunting people in your comments over the fact that they lost their children is a clear cut example of just that abusive behavior which our movement is complaining of.
ReplyDeleteSorry, they should not abuse their power...
DeleteIt bothers me that Senator Kissel is dehumanizing and labeling us by putting it out there that we would "target" judges and their families. But even so, even if we did target judges--haven't they targeted us? Isn't this a bit of the kettle calling the pot black?
ReplyDeleteYes, these 5 percenters (warring divorce cases) can NOT stand that someone thinks they're oh IDK bad parents. They are the ones who slander their exes, slander judges, and whine about the $$ being spent-and are unable to see their own role in these high conflict cases. Tragedy for their children :-(
ReplyDeleteAre you taking into account cases such as the custody battle over the Petit murderer, Komisarjevsky who received assistance from the CT Judicial Branch to obtain sole custody of his daughter from her protective mother once he was released from jail? All the mother wanted to do was protect her daughter from a killer. Are you criticizing that mother because she was pulled into a high conflict custody case by a known criminal who had the full financial and legal support of the CT Judicial Branch? You are not sounding very credible to me, personally.
