Help A Special Need Child To Have A Voice

The Issue

 

A Florida Judge gave permanent custody of my special needs daughter without an court order to a father who is a complete stranger and has no emotional ties nor knows anything about her developmental needs.  My daughter does not speak well enough to protect herself and she has difficulties explaining and grasping things. The Judge and the father have denied me the right to have any physical contact with my daughter. The father has refused to provide me with any information concerning my daughter I have no clue where or whom she lives with, who is her caregiver or even if she under medical care, etc. The Judge did not order for an evaluation prior or before removal of her. The court made their own determination that a license professional was not needed and the child well-being would be set aside. The judge and father were aware of medical appointments she had already established  and they denied her the right to seek treatment.  She is a living and breathing human being with a sense of real emotions and feelings she is  not a baby doll. The father did not stop or care to think how his own child would feel about being torn from her mother after six years. What is more devastating to a child or even a grown up to lose a parent whom the love deeply and how could any court deny that.  Image your child being turn over to sheriff deputy or a stranger not understanding what is going on or why all suddenly they are being taken away from their home. How traumatic would any child be! The Department of Children and Family has never come to my home nor have I been declared as an unfit mother. All my rights have been taken from me and given to the father. The Judge and the father have denied me the right to have any physical contact with my daughter. The father has refused to provide me with any information concerning my daughter I have no clue where or whom she lives with, who is her caregiver or even if she under medical care, etc.  The courts are aware there is no court order on file for temporary or permenant custody. Termination of parental rights is one issue that  many courts do not take lightly and extreme measures are taken to ensure that false allegations are not made which could be detrimental to the child.  However the court created double standards were they allowed a father who had been completely uninvolved in his child life to deprive a mother who has been a consistent parent for six years. In addition the father has never been order nor made to pay child support within six years of the child’s life. The Judge reserved restrictions on child support after five years but granted visitation rights to father to only spend eight hours before taking her for the entire summer. The Department of Revenue of Child Support transfer my case in 2012 from Duval County to Leon County Florida to keep the father from paying child support which was initiated and open in 2007 in Duval County Florida. Under the Florida Statue it states an order for equal time-sharing for a minor child does preclude the court from entering an order for child support.

  

I asked the father to spend additional time with his daughter prior to taking her away after being absent for six years and having no emotional ties or physical contact with the child. The Judge and father ignored my request to allow my daughter to develop a trusting relationship with her father. Instead the Judge allowed the father to come pick up the minor child with police force authorizing law enforcement officer in the State of Florida or any other State to immediately take custody of a special need child. The Judge gave the police the authority to arrest me or incarnate me if I refuse to give up my daughter. However the court failed to deliver proof of service with clerk of court, there was no  summon issue to me when police took my daugher in custody. The law clearly states one must be served immediatly after the child is taken in physcial custody. However an Judge from another county  (no jurdication) was allowed to enter Duval county and take custody of child and child life was not in danger. However the court sent numerous of police surrounded my home like I had committed a serious criminal act. The police detained me and strip my daughter right from my arms.  I watch hopelessly as the police escorted her away with a stun and frighten look in her eyes.  The Judge and the father knew my daughter was attending school where she was receiving speech and language therapy and occupation therapy to help her develop and expand her learning. The father without any remorse removed my daughter while she was still attending school in Duval County. Another important factor to include is Leon County Florida Court has no Jurisdiction over this case Duval County Court has the Jurisdiction but they have refused to help me. I have sent Duval County Court documents, letters and filed court papers provided them information what is occurring in Leon County Court. I also requested for emergency hearing in Duval County to have my daughter return back to me but Duval County would not even give me and hearing. Duval County Court has completed ignored my pleadings and they are allowing Leon County Court to continue to abuse their power and break Florida Laws. 

  

Something is wrong here you have a man who has never taken care of his own child and was giving permanent custody  without an court order when the mother has been the primary caretaker for six years. When you have men out here working and supporting their children on a regular basis and are never giving special treatment this man has received. There are thousands of men in the state of Florida alone that have no driver license or even been jailed for not taking care of their children. The court neglected to serve the summons properly or at all and the judges allowed him to continue two different cases with same petition for six years. Florida rule of Judicial Administration 2.54(a) requires the petitioner in a family case to file with court a notice of related cases. It must be filed with the clerk of circuit court with initial pleading in family law. However the father filed an  voluntary dismissal  with his first case and within 65 days he open an new case with same petition. It is not a secret the Judges and DOR are fully aware that the father willfully fail to support his own daughter and had the ability to do. The Judges order for me to pay hotel expenses for the father to visit his own child but failed to make the father responsible or liable for his actions.  The father requested to carry a minor child every year on his income taxes after six years and the judge granted his request. The court only gave the father  custody of her to cover up their own wrong doings.  The court wants make it seem that father has this great respect for the court but if you were able to see what he wrote as his password on his own child parenting class you would understand why I am so upset about everything that has occurred from the beginning to end. Help Be The Voice Of Justice For My Daughter, She Deserve Respect! 

  

I ask for those who read this to please sign my petition to have my daughter return back to me immediately and remove the Judges, Magistrates and Clerk of Court who have presided over my cases to be removed from the bench. NO child who enters the court deserve to be treated the way my daugher has been treated. I found out this year that the father does not even carry medical insurance on my daughter however  he has insurance on himself and she had been with him almost two years.  My daughter needs medical treatment and he has denied her the right seek treatment in Duval county where her primary providers are. The  to  paramount of the court is the best interest of child not the parent. However,  in my daugher case it was the father who gained all the special privileges that most men do receive in the State of Florida alone that are taking care of the their children. The State of Florida may  have turn their back on a special needs child but I know there are people out there that still care. Please sign my petition and forward to your friends and family my daughter and I need your help to bring justice and respect to family courts.

 

Thank You Reading!

 

 

 

The rights of parents to care, custody and nurture of their children is of such character that it cannot be denied without violating those fundamental principles of liberty and justice which lie at the base of all our civil and political institutions, and such right is a fundamental right protected by this amendment (First) and Amendments 5,9,. The court should be signing praise for parents who are doing their very best to take care of their children like so many mothers, fathers grandparents and caregivers do.
