ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO, YOU DID A STORY ON BABY REBECCA REGARDING WASHOE COUNTY SOCIAL SERVICES, WHERE YOU INTERVIEWED THE GRANDMOTHER ABOUT GETTING HER GRANDAUGHTER FROM SOCIAL SERVICES.

MY MOTHER IN LAW HAS FILED AN EMERGENCY TEMPORY GAURDIANSHIP OF MINOR CHILDREN WHICH WAS DENIED WITHOUT A HEARING AND SIGNED BY A COURTMASTER WHICH IS NOT ALLOWED. FROM WHAT WE AS PARENTS UNDERSTAND ONLY A JUDGE CAN SIGN OFF ON THIS ORDER. ALL PAPERWORK WAS IN ORDER AND THE ONLY REASON SHE FILED THIS GUARDIANSHIP WAS BECAUSE WE AS PARENTS ARE ABOUT TO LOOSE OUR PARENTAL RIGHTS.

YOU ALSO SAID IN YOUR REPORT THAT WASHOE COUNTY DEPT. OF SOCIAL SERVICES WAS A VERY SECERATIVE ORGANIZATION WHICH IS TRUE. WE CAN OUTRIGHT PROVE THAT THEY BROKE ABOUT 12 LAWS, THAT WE AS PARENTS MUST OBEY, THEY DONT HAVE TO FOLLOW ANY COURT MASTERS ORDERS, AND THEY CAN PRETTY MUCH DO AS THEY CHOOSE.

WHILE MY WIFE AND I HAVE A VERY LONG HISTORY WITH SOCIAL SERVICES WHICH WE ARE WILLING TO PRODUCE ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTS TO PROVE OUR CASE. WE AS PARENTS ARE WILLING TO GIVE YOU AN EXCLUSIVE ON THIS. PLEASE RESPOND BY E-MAIL IF YOU ARE INTERESTED


THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

A Father's Desperation and Explanation

CPS and DCFS in Washoe County

Note: forwarded message attached.

Subject: CPS and DCF in Washoe County
To: tcunning@rgj.com


Hello, I need to be heard on this matter.

I a Homemaker and my Husband a hardworking Father of 4 boys, ages are 17,13, 7,3 1/2
have been the prime victims of DCF and CPS for over 16 years. We are not perfect parents we do make terrible mistakes and try to learn from them.

We have been involved with them (CPS and DCF) on a regular basis for as long as my son age 17 has been alive. It really became hard when My 13 year old was hit my a car in 1996. They haven't been able to get past it and are always retrying me under this. We have been under a lot of unneeded stress because of this we have been made PRISONERS in our home not allowed to have socialization like others.

My children were removed from us due to one of their ONESIDED Investgations with alledged accusations of a Sexual Preditor living in our home. Cares Exams were done on three of my boys only. The results we feel were not able to be challenged in Court. We were found not guilty and my children still were placed into their Legal and Physical Custody.

We have been very cooperative working with their agencies on case plans, court appearances in order to get our Children back. My oldest son was sent to Las Vegas to SPRING MOUNTAIN TREATMENT CENTER which is a locked Facility, my other son was 10 years old and was sent to live in place called Primary Childrens Hospital in UTAH.

My 2 youngest boys 5 months old and 4 years old were placed in Foster Care Home in Fernley, Nv. It took 11 months to get my 2 youngest boys back home but it took 1 year for the courts to give Legal Custody back. Then the time spent to fight for Legal Custody of my other 2 boys began. They said my boys had to go to STEP DOWN Programs here in Nevada

okay My oldest was placed at Briarwood on the Galetti Way Property, my second oldest was placed at Children's Living Quarters on Enterprise Rd. Six months was what their length of needed stay while we continued to work to get them back. We did get our 2nd oldest worked back into the home and Legal Custody was granted after !
(sic: 1) year. We are not able to get our oldest son back after 4 years in the system.

Now my next subject is starting the WHOLE NIGHTMARE over Again as of September 10th 2004. It is a real shame that Parents just like us are not able to get the Legal Help we deserve. And to raise our children with the Christianity Beliefs that we were raised under. My children were attending church on a regular basis they were being taught right from wrong and now they are victims in a Society where Religion is not permitted to be practiced while they are being raised by the County Homes.

Ps. Please feel Free to get in touch with me and I will stay in touch with the RGJ on this matter.

A Mother's Cry For Justice

Text message Attempts to obtain help from the Press are often futile. In a Child Protective Services matter, the "Privacy Act" can be a facade for those bent on wrongdoing against Parents and Children trapped in the system.

However, for Parents accused of neglect, what a strange contrast that they continue their fight to this day, five years after this e-mail was written and after fifteen years of interaction with Social Services as to their cases.

Driven by guilt over the injuries to their son who was struck and severely injured by a car, all they can do is fight and in terms of effectiveness, the time they spend pursuing a case is as great a proof of their love for their children ~ that they refuse to be turned away by Social Services and will not relinquish their children to a System lacking a soul and conscience ~ as are the words they write.

Thoughtful. Selfless. Seeking and Taking Responsibility for their actions. None the less fighting to once again be with their children ~ children that even the Washoe County Social Service system admit love their biological parents during the Systems' attempts to adopt those children out to new homes.

Quite a contrast.

The family wants their children returned. Have fought for those children over 16 years at this point in their messaging.

The County, however, stands to make not tens, but hundreds of thousands of dollars off of these kids.

Not only from adoption fees, but from what they get from the Federal Government.

What motive is there then ~ to reunify?

And will that motive outweigh greed?

Blatant diregard for airing the truth about this Biological Family

To: adoption2@washoecounty.us
Date: Sunday, June 11, 2006, 1:44 AM


To whom this may concern,


I am shocked at the lies of us being accused as Substance abusers. on the TV .

That is not true we have never been involved with WCSSD for this . My children were Kidnapped on September 10, 2004 with the help of Washoe County Sherriffs under the Directions of WCSSD on call worker Lisa Foelsch. WCSSD Failed to do an investgation on how my son Jeremiah got out of my Secured Fenced in Yard. Lisa Foelsch was the SW that spoke to the Washoe County Sherriffs Deputy Stahl on the phone on June 29, 2004 and again on September 10, 2004.

Even the sherriffs did not do an investigation and I did my own and was told that my son was helped out of my yard by a neighbor child. I have witnesses that will back it up that I am a good parent and this should have never gotten to this point of Termination of our Parental Rights.

I have Filed an APPEAL to the Nevada SUPREME COURTand it is in the process of being heard as I am typing this. You need to contact me at my Home for further information because I am going to file chages for airing this on the TV.

My children are being held away from us under the false allegations of Willful Neglect and their has to be some one that will listen to us about this, I already have Contacted the FBI concerning this matter. Please look into this for your own knowledge.

We have never ever worked with the Social Worker that allowed this to be aired her name is Tricia Starbuck, she is employed at 350 S Center street, Reno, Nv. and Lisa Foelsch is employed at the substation for WCSSD 2265 Green Vista Dr, Reno,Nv.

I will be in touch again regarding my 2 boys.

A Mother's Denial of the Charges Against Her, With Explanation

Notes are admissable in a Court of Law, such as the notes contained in this e-mail to Washoe County Adoption Services, which claimed "substance abuse" by the parents; a charge denied by the parents, one a veteran of the U.S. Army, the other his wife.

Slander, libel, a continuing these in the investigations conducted by Silver State News Service. Allegations by parents of overt attempts by Washoe County Social Service workers to exaggerate, even lie about the charges against parents, to ruin the parents' credibility in order to make it easier to take children away and destroy homes and whole families in the process.

So what is the Truth?

What substance abuser fights for some two decades to recover not one, but four children, whose need for support would certainly interfere with a substance abuser's lifestyle?

Anon 3 & 4, as they will be known for now, have not been spending their moneys on substances to abuse.

They've been making payments on a home.

Hello Mr.Bell,


I know that you are no longer my Public Defender since you acted on mybehalf during the Termination of my Parental Rights Trial in 2006

with all do respect I have inquired about certain rights, to ask you to file a motion again to Judge Schumacker for the Biological Parents visitation order she put in her recomendations as to the 2 boys
Names Withheld by Editor as they were in the decision for an Open Adoption.

The reason I am asking is that Adoption Social worker Zaboinski sent us a letter stating she was terminationing our Supervised visits at the Family Peace Center and no other contacts with the boys as of December 22 2007, was a good -by visit at the Family Peace Center.

We have tryed to talk to Mr.Capello about this and he refused to look into this court decision from Judge Schumacker. We just were told that Mr. Mike Capello retired from Social Services and Mr Kevin Schuller as taken his place as Head of the Social Services Department.

Please respond to this as soon as possible.You may also ask Miss JoAnna Roberts to look into this also for Anon 4was her Client.

Where and Whom to Turn To?

In frustration and desperation, Anon 3 turns to the man whom was her Public Defender in hopes of obtaining assistance.

Often times, the parents are indigent and legal assistance is unavailable.

Sometimes, they are not indigent but neither are they rich, and legal assistance is unavailable.

In these case studies, the Editor is seeing a pattern where the indigent are being taken advantage of by the system and Counsel is withheld in such a manner by the System and/or the Courts, that the Civil Rights of the indigent ~ particularly where criminal charges exist ~ are violated and the indigent are foced to represent themselves, without regard as to whether or not they have the capability, or if they can afford an Attorney, there is no guarantee that the Attorney of their choice will fight for them.

So who will?

Usually, no one. They are on their own.

And in Washoe County, that fact is ruining the family unit and institutionalization in the Washoe County Social Services system, is producing criminals, aiding and abetting the same, and destroying Parent-Child relationships, while inflicting devastating, irreparable damage, on American families.

The system makes money off the children...

The system makes money off the parents...

The system makes money off the litigation...

The system makes money off the psychologists and psychiatrists....

The system makes money off the criminals produced within the system (children turned delinquents) and their crimes...

The system thrives while the family dies.

And who is funding all this?

Look to your IRS filings, taxpayers. That amount you owe the government in the end ~ comes straight out of your pockets and into this incompetantly funded Social Services System.

And then they bill the families whose children they take away, more often now than not, as based on false charges, false reporting, downright slander, libel and in general, lies.


Responses to SSNS Inquiries

# 1

As far as we know at this time they are together living in Sparks, Nv with the same Foster Mom (Lottie Dome) and have not been adopted. Those are their Birth Names we gave them.

When my Mom was here for a visit that lasted for 3 weeks  in June, she tried to arrange a visit to spend time with boys and was denied. No Grandparents rights.

# 2

CPS says they have a case file against my Mother (Name Withheld by Editor) for at least 15 years and the court Master Heron told the CPS worker to produce this case file to my Mom and the Family Court and as of this date it hasn't surfaced for anyone to see.

My Mother went to 9th street office and filled out aform to review the file and it was denied by Mike Cappello the Director of WCSS. I have the copy of the form she filled out.

~ Anon 3 to this Editor today, July 9, 2009

Editor's Note: This is the third case minimum in which Discovery has been denied to parents in the cases that we are investigating, and the forth such case overall (includes one case dropped for misconduct by the person we were reporting on, though the case remains a good case in this Editor's opine).

Additionally, the dropped case had a similar circumstance in which Social Services actively sought out a grandmother to adopt the child of the Respondent to their claims of Neglect.

Inconsistancy and Inequitability demonstrated by the same Social Services System here in Washoe County, which potentially equates to Civil Rights violations in the areas of Equal Protection and Equal Justice under the Law.

Families wanting, striving and aggressively pursuing reunification with their children, only to be denied by a system claiming that reunification is the desired results of their efforts.

The only obstructions that appear to be standing in the way ~ money, power and guaranteed work for select Washoe County Social Service Workers.

Mother and Step-father later learned after the teen was removed from the home that he had been dealing illicit drugs with a younger brother and attempted to stop both from this criminal misconduct.

Older teen now an adult after turning age 18. Reportedly dealing drugs out of a foster home. Reportedly was dealing drugs while at The Children's Cabinet and before move into foster home. Told Mother how they would sneak out through a window opened just so far to avoid setting off an alarm.

Washoe County vs David Sharra

Washoe County, Nevada, officials attempting to try man on false charges of improperly touching an underaged girl, his step-daughter. The man has been "found" to have been properly served and "found Guilty" of the charges, however, a major problem exists in the fact that he was not served nor present in the court room during the hearing!

Involves multiple Civil Rights violations. Also, Human Trafficking and Abuse charges against Washoe County Social Services for attempting to taint Defendant's reputation with Child Abuse charges and to take away child/step-children without regard to Defendant's Civil Rights.

Human, Children's Rights and Civil Rights Violations. Obstruction of Justice, Threatening and Tampering with Witnesses, Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) violations. Mandate of Law not being followed by Washoe County Social Services and CPS.Human, Civil Rights violations directed against the Father, his child and step-children.

In act of revenge, Female Worker from State of Nevada, Washoe County Social Services, Child Protective Services, offended by being addressed as "C" Word, transmitted case documents illegally and in violation of existing Court orders, as well as Privacy Act, to Defendant's ex-wife.

Ex-wife and her Attorney brought Confidential documents into case. Both Ex-wife and Counsel ordered to return documents to Defendant by first Judge. This did not happen. Judges changed while case in process but before CPS became involved. Washoe County Deputy District Attorney Greg Shannon instructed CPS to stop talking to the man's ex-wife and also told them that they had better not be giving her any information. These instructions were apparently too late as they had already committed their misconduct.

Deputy DA Shannon also allegedly told CPS to release records belonging to the man's new wife in May, 2008. The new wife still does not have the records as of this time of writing, November 19, 2008. The new wife sent Deputy D.A. Shannon a letter requesting that he remind CPS to give her the records. The D.A. (Gammick) called the new Wife's CPS Attorney and told him to tell the Wife to keep her mouth shut. Deputy D.A.

Shannon is now retired.

Second Judge subsequently bars reasonable visitation with daughter based on entry of Confidential documents into the case after first Judge allegedly transferred, though she hears cases in the same Courthouse.

Conflicts of Interest ~ to see daughter under supervised visitation, the man must pay the Rainbow Children's Center by the hour for supervision and all related expenses, this after his ex-wife had initially been ordered to share the expenses. Rainbow Children's Center is a Department of the Solano County District Attorney's Office, in California.

This Father now has to complete an intake with the Rainbow Children's Center, and though they are open every day, they only do intakes on certain days and they will not work with the Father. The ex-wife is ordered to speak with him about the welfare of the child but refuses.

Even if the Father does does what is expected, he will be denied his visits.

The Father is obstructed in his attempts to visit with his child on supervised visitation. Beyond the ex-wife's intransigence, there are allegations that the Rainbow Children's Center personnel have also told the man's ex-wife to never speak to him in regards to visitation. According to his current Wife, Rainbow Children's Center personnel told the ex-wife that is was "best if they handled it."

The current Wife indicated that "that's because they really scewed up (name witheld) intake on the first visit, and then they tired to blame it on the ex-wife.   When we got the ex-wife's story, it seems rainbow did it."
