My now X-Girlfreind pushed my oldest daughter. The end result was both my children being removed from my home. I am a divorced father of 2 girls.
At the initial hearing, my main question to the hearing master was direct, specific, and to the point. I had asked, "If she moves out, my children will be returned to my home?".
His answer was simply put, "Yes.".
However, she left December 22nd and when I adressed this to children and youth as to having my daughters returned..... what occured?? Ah yes, this is the point in which those whom are given power are capable of playing "God" with the lives of others. My caseworker stated that no such question nor answer ever occured and I was refused having them returned to me.
So at this point, I made the attempt to get counseling started with both myself and my now "X", which ultimatly never occured and thus we went our seperate ways.
I guess to cut to the chase, and spare myself from writing a book here, I will generalize and ask specifics.
14 Months, I was denied any and all forms of contact with my children, a direct result to a visit (mind you I drove 115miles one way for a 1 hour visit, and several times they canceled without any notice, thus 230miles of driving and hours of my time wasted) in which my oldest daughter wanted to play with a sandbox they had "indoors" at their visit center, when I said she could not play in it, she cried, my caseworker removed her from the room and spoke with her in private. As to what was said? I am un-aware, however the following week I drove 115miles to be told visits were now cancled and I was denied any and all contact with them. This lasted from Febuary of 2003 until April of 2004.
Now by all means amuse me....... A criminal comits a crime, he is locked away in prison, and he is NOT denied "visitation" nor the ability to write a letter to friends or family members.... So why was I removed of these abilities, these rights, as yet still today I am charged with literally nothing?
Now, twice, I have been sent for two psychiatric evaluations and one psychological evaluation, the results of not only the 1st eval, yet again the second were by far positive that I was more than capable of raising my children, yet also made recomondations of not only visitation, but also unsupervised visits and overnights falling into having my children activaly in my life. The results of the mental health evaluation never took place, the indivual in charge of doing my evaluation read both my psychiatric evaluations and felt no need whatsoever as to why I needed the eval, and was baffled as to why they even wasted their time and mine to bother to even send me to him.
So....
Over two years have since passed, I get 1 whole hour a week (1 hour a week visits started April of 2004) with my two daughters in which someone always seems to be peering over my shoulder like I am some kind of animal or freak in a show. All the suggestions and recomendations by their head shrinkers whos opinions they valued so greatly right up to where they said I should have more time and what not with my children, ignored.
My "X"? She has her child to the best of my knowledge, she is not required to goto parenting classes, she is not required to have and mental health or psychiatric evaluations, she is as free as a bird, whereas myself? I am paying for her crimes for over 2 years now?
So what I am looking to know?
Why am I being persecuted for my "X's" crime?
Why was I denied 14 months of any and all forms of contact with my children?
Why do they bother to send me to a shrink yet ignore the recomendations?
Why is it now 10 months past since my visitations have started again and I am still getting but 1 hour a week of "semi-supervised" visitation?
Why can a home based on welfare and outside agencies to support itself maintain care and custody their children? I work, I pay my bills......
How is it a man can attempt suicide and maintain custody and care of his child afterwards?
How is it two parents with a Heroin addiction had maintained care of their children?
Why am I being denied the simple right as a parent to raise my children, to be an active part of their lives?
Why is it I must beg or yell to be given any information as to their health? their progress in school?
Can these issues be taken to my Congressman? Or any other specific individual whom has a position higher that the supervisor of Children and Youth Services in Pennsylvania?
Can I legally take any of these issues to the press and have the published? I mean, certianly someone will see such and look more thuroughly into the issue in its whole if I did so yes?
I am merely curious as I have no idea as to what heinous act I have commited to had been persecuted as such I have been.
The evaluator which whom I saw the "second" time, stated to me, someone screwed up, and screwed up bad. That I needed to seek legal support to address the issue, the "public defenders office" appointed me an attorney which handles the specifics when I go before the hearing master or what not, but he does as little as possible as I am sure his case load is plenty. Their office informed me I would need to seek a "criminal" attornet to look into the potential wrong doings done to me over this course of time.
The biggest question, where can I get "legal" support to investigate the fairness of this case in its whole and to take firm action on any and all wrong doings?
You cannot replace a minute of time lost between a loving parent and their children, none the less 2 years........
So by all means if this was "injust", I would love to see those whom have been ruining my life, and the lives of my children repremanded as appropriate!
So where do I turn? Where can I go?
Who can I get to look into these issues thuroughly?
At this time, I make what is nesicarry to survive.
Thanks for your time.
