My story is long but I will make this short. My daughter was sexually abused by her father. I live in Ohio so Michigan and Ohio went back and forth with whom should handle it. Ohio was to do their part and also Michigan. Because I was trying to keep her safe I had a Felony Parental kidnapping warrant issued for my arrest when I was six months pregnant. Also high risk, and unable to travel.
My daughter was taken from me because nobody handled the situation properly. The father came to Ohio with false documents. And Ohio Job and Family Services hot line gave wrong information the the police. Which was confirmed next day when the social worker said my daughter should not have left the state of Ohio.
So after I had my son I was in Michigan taking care of all of the legal mess I was in because of protecting my child.
I went to The Friend of the court, met with Rodney Yeaker. Who was horrible to me. He called me a liar, a bad mother, and that I brainwashed my child to say these things, and that a four year old should know what a naked man looks like. I was appalled. He made a recommendation of supervised visitation twice a month. That matter has not been to court yet.
I am still fighting the kidnapping charge. And have many people to back up my daughters situation. And since I cannot work due to all the travel time, court, and the pending felony. Mr.Yeaker issued a warrant for my arrest for one non payment of support. Support going to the man who has hurt my child, and has her because she was questioned by Michigan and she said nothing. She was questioned in Ohio and told the social worker everything. But Michigan did not request the proper records from Ohio.
Mr. Yeaker has been horrible, sexist, and has no concern for my almost five year old daughter. Who was ripped away from me given to her father. And was unable to be located for ten days. Her father is a criminal, drug addict and drug dealer. And I am being looked at as the bad mother. This has destroyed my daughter, my family and put us in turmoil. I am not allowed any contact with her. This is a thing about power and not the best interest of the child. I still fear for her safety every waking minute.
I have joint, physical, legal custody of an 11 yr old boy w add. I have been living with ptsd now for sometime it gets worse as I deal with the courts and child’s father. The best interest of our son now as of September 2015 I get to see our son at 5:00p.m. On Friday no sooner because the father will not allow a sooner time Sunday at 700 p.m. only three weekends a month No other extra time father won’t allow me more time or courts. this is suppose to be joint custody!
By request from a medical doctor and cps my sons father was told he needed to seek counseling for our son with add. Father feels son has no issues no need for an evaluation for add.
I have made numerous complaints to foc about the father not following through doctors this summer even prior to the motion. I still have not heard anything from them. Oh yes this is after 2 lawyers went in on my behalf to talk with foc no judge. First lawyer lied to court officers about my story to what is going on an also the first lawyer told me the "referee ,"all ready thought I was crazy” well, I fired her and got a new lawyer with money I barrowed. Nothing changed with second lawyer. Quite honestly the system did nothing for our son but take his time away from his blood family. Older sister
Haven relates to my story with this is very normal how Oakland courts handle these domestic violence issues in Oakland County; I continue to stand by watching our son struggle. They seem to side with who makes more money also.
I would like to mention now I have to pay child support which was ordered September 2015. Why of course I am in the arrearage now because they went as far back as July. Now this was very unfair considering he makes twice what I do as a single mom in school trying to make more money. I will pay my debt to him it’s for our child.
Prior to all this 2012 recommendation was made by the same referee and they disregarded all of what they wrote to the judge. One of the main reasons the referees said I could not see my son more time because I am a school bus driver and I am a single mother. Both my attorneys said this would not have happened in Macomb County!
Thanks oakland county friend of the court, just like cps this summer says my complaint was for the police department. Police department says its cps or friend of the court matter. Dont matter in a 3 places. counselor reported the situation to cps and un founded and now a police matter.
Thanks to veteran’s affairs of Detroit because i am a vet and haven they provided me with safety plan in 2012 to move out. Another company furnished my apartment to aide in making my sons transition easier. All this was arranged for the domestic violence that was happening to us. my son still continues to deal with the domestic violence but w father and step mother.
