"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."

Eureka CA

Description

As Carl Sagan said, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." Here's where the story gets fuzzy. We're not just talking about Sarah Kaber any more. In fact, we never were talking about just Sarah Kaber. We're talking about a phenomenon that is much larger than just one [snip] lawyer. I refer readers to the St Marys Medical Center report, dated '12/02/2016', in the JV160250 court file. How I and my wife came by a copy of this report is a story in itself. As a result of my wife's visiting our [snip] in San Francisco, my wife had made the acquaintance of Dr Karla Petersen, assigned to be our [snip]'s psychiatrist. It may be inferred that Dr Petersen was not agreeable to her patient being removed from the hospital just days after arriving. The hospital had not been provided with any legal paperwork negating my wife's parental authority. And so the hospital provided my wife with a copy of our [snip]'s records. McAuley staff did not block my wife from seeing [snip], as Therese Vodden did, without a court order, when I had tried to visit our [snip], at Semper Virens, in Eureka, a few days before. This is a glaring inconsistency in procedures that needs to be explained. Whose orders was Ms Vodden following? Why were they issued? Ms Vodden's actions were not in compliance with California law. It may be inferred that Dr Petersen, and McAuley Neuropsychiatric Hospital, have prior experience with Humboldt County's children, in general, and with Humboldt County Child Welfare Services, in particular, and that they may have more information to share about this agency, if one but asks. Humboldt County Child Welfare Services denied such a report existed for nearly two months. It was not until I came right out and told Sarah Kaber that I had already seen a copy of the report - using her like the conduit she was, to deliver the information to the opposing party - that, voila!, Humboldt County Child Welfare Services decided to let us have a copy of the report - every single page, because I had been very specific about how many pages long the report was. The first time Humboldt County had assumed custody of my [snip], they transported [snip] to a hospital in Santa Rosa, in an ambulance - our every visit was a 400 mile round trip, for six months - while the county demanded guarantees from us that nothing would happen if they let us have our child back - a so-called "safety plan" - which safety plan, incidentally, the school subsequently ignored. The second time Humboldt County took custody my [snip], they took [snip] all the way to San Francisco - and then, brought [snip] back, before the two-week-long evaluation period was even half way completed. Again, we see a glaring inconsistency in the county's conduct; and another glaring inconsistency in the lack of a safe destination for my [snip]. Where did Humboldt County Child Welfare Services place my [snip]? It turns out, they placed [snip] at the home of the very person, from Academy of the Redwoods, who had introduced my [snip] to cutting [snip]self. WTF?!? It later turned out this young [snip]'s older [snip] had ALSO attempted to kill [snip]self. WTF?!? It was almost like Humboldt County Child Welfare Services WANTED my [snip] to hurt [snip]; either that, or the county was using foster children from ONE family in need of therapy, as some sort of strange surrogate child for ANOTHER family in need of therapy - while using the second family as a firewall, to keep the child completely out of contact with its own family, only a few miles away. That is the very crux of my complaint; that Humboldt County Child Welfare Services and Humboldt County Superior Court personnel knowingly, intentionally and maliciously interfered with and unlawfully terminated my child's hospitalization, against the advice of [snip] physician, and thereby not only engaged in medical and legal malpractice towards my minor child, but also betrayed ulterior motives that are inconsistent with, and even antagonistic to, the responsibilities these individuals were being paid to fulfill - thus creating a situation where the wellbeing of those responsible for creating this situation dictated, to them, the people who created this situation, that they place second, the best interests of the very child they had allegedly appointed themselves to protect. Now it is five years later. Through the lense of retrospection, things often become much clearer. Five years later, our oldest child has almost nothing to say to myself or my wife. Our child has been told for over five years that [snip] is a victim, that my wife and I were the cause of all [snip] problems, by people whose qualifications are not the highest, to put it mildly, but whose authority over [snip] was and is unquestioned - and we have inherited the legacy of their fine work. Meanwhile, my wife and I have excellent relations with the rest of our children. Only our oldest child is alienated. Only our oldest child suffers from [snip]. Only our oldest child needs to see a therapist - whose identity, qualifications and counsel remain unknown to us, but whose advice seems to consistently lead to building walls instead of bridges. It is impossible for us to complain about this person's practice of medicine because the therapist's identity and actions are actively concealed from our child's other family members. And so existing regulatory agencies are stripped of their effectiveness because no complaints can be filed against such practitioners. However, it is my perception that a woman (I know this therapist is a woman, they are ALL women) who is only capable of having familiar relationships with other women, is not a person who is qualified to guide others in their search for mental health - because it is so glaringly obvious that she is still searching for it, herself. So long as my [snip] continues to receive guidance from people who are so obviously lacking in navigational skills, themselves, it seems likely [snip] will continue to have problems navigating. I am going to suggest that each and every one of these issues is an artifact and a direct consequence of our child's interrupted therapy at McAuley Neuropsychiatric Institute, and the replacement of competent, neutral professionals dedicated to the practice of evidence-based medicine, with politicized, radicalized backwoods amateurs wielding polarizing agendas. My analysis is that my [snip] is suffering from Stockholm Syndrome - [snip] identifies with [snip] kidnappers. If I am correct [snip] has been this way for over five years, now. REAL psychologists - sincere explorers of inner space - might find the Wikipedia article on the subject of Stockholm Syndrome of interest, as the article touches upon some of the theories on how people with Stockholm Syndrome might have become vulnerable to the syndrome - theories that go into split egos, and begin to read like a manual on behavioral modification, through trauma based psychological mind control, from a Project Monarch operations manual. The impression I want to leave you with, is that power and control are the highest priorities of Humboldt County Child Welfare Services - and, the welfare of children is NOT their first priority.
