Finally the Court of Appeals, Justice Woods and Perluss in particular, recognize the nature of Judge Elizabeth Feffer’s orders separating children from their mothers.

This reporter watched a hearing between Elizabeth G and her ex spouse Gregory G. The words on the transcript could not capture the callous and bitchy tone of voice Feffer used in addressing the beautiful young mother.

Apparently the words spoken in a different hearing, where Elizabeth G was represented by attorney Robert Canny did appeal to the justices’ sense of decency.

Elizabeth G Appeal

My favorite line from the opinion was toward the conclusion.  “Issuance of such a draconian restraining order was not proper unless failure to issue it might jeopardize [the child’s] safety.”

Something bothers me:  the practice of taking out the identifying names in the opinion, supposedly to protect the innocent children. The stigma from having the school, church, friends and neighbors told that Elizabeth was such a despicable human being that she could have no contact with her son was irreversible and defamatory. If the Court did not grant itself absolute immunity from liability, it seems Elizabeth G would have a slam dunk, multi-million dollar lawsuit against Feffer and her employer. It is the least the Court could do to print and broadcast a retraction on the cover of the L.A. Times. There is more good than harm done if the names of the victims of court abuse are published.

(Elizabeth G did not give me permission to publish her full name. The opinion was emailed to me by a third party and I recognized the parties from my prior investigation.)

Commissioner Debra Losnick is running for judge and this turns our collective eyes back to Family Law Los Angeles Style.

Can we coin the phrase Kindercaust to describe what happened to the first generation of children who fell under the court’s authority due to the desire of their parents to get a divorce?

Judges did not march children into ovens, but they destroyed countless lives and left these children emotionally, educationally and sometimes physically crippled. Biased judges separated children from perfectly good parents and left children in the homes of probable abusers.

Some of the judges were motivated by drumming up business for their friends in the cottage industry. Some were sickos. Some were stupid.

When a parent-litigant began to make strides against the family court, often, the case would be transferred to the Dependency Court.

The dependency court was able to operate like the Star Chamber. There was little transparency. Somehow, not allowing open court was supposed to protect the young kids from embarrassment and stigma, but it really just protected abusive parents and less than adequate judges and commissioners.

Commissioner Debra Losnick served in the dependency court for many years. She is running for judge now, and thinks her longevity entitles her to the respect and power that comes with the upgraded title. She turns her memory from 1996, when the following report was made by County Counsel as told in the L.A. Times.

“The county counsel said two toddlers had been ordered by Commissioner Debra Losnick back to the home of their father, who was shown on a confiscated videotape lying on a bed, nude except for a T-shirt, having his son demonstrate how an older cousin had sexually abused him.

“The counsel’s report said that Losnick rejected an allegation of sexual abuse and ‘found that there was no risk to the child.’

“In fact, the [offended] judges said, Losnick rejected a sexual abuse finding but affirmed ‘inappropriate conduct by the father which placed the child at risk of harm.’ Losnick’s order allows the father to see the 3-year-old boy and his 1-year-old sister only with a monitor present, an arrangement that even the county’s own social workers have supported since this spring, the rebuttal states.

“On Aug. 27, the state Court of Appeal served notice that it would overrule Losnick and send the case back to another judge. The order admonished the lower court that the ‘purpose of Juvenile Court Law is to protect minors.'”

Someone just wrote another negative review about Judge Elizabeth Feffer on The Robing Room website. It mentioned how she ordered an eviction of a poor family, even though they paid their rent, so the slum lord could raise the rents. I don’t know if there is truth in what they wrote.

But I am involved in a real estate dispute in San Diego and am pro per (representing myself). You can read about it at SanDiegoEstateSale.wordpress.com.

Thanks to the private legal training received at the hand of Alan Friedenthal and Elizabeth Feffer, trying to protect my children from their corrupt decisions, I am holding my own against a team of specialized attorneys. But, I am not normal. Some, not qualified to diagnose, call me insane. Really, I just have developed my logic, creativity, research and writing skills. God blessed me with good genes and an environment that encouraged achievement.

Most people are not so blessed. Heaven help them if they ever need to protect their rights, or their children’s rights in court.

Here is my idea of the week. Any one of you readers involved with the court may adopt it as your own and take full credit for saving the world. We will know the truth.

When someone wants to become a therapist, they are required to put in a significant number of hours working as an unpaid intern under the direction of a licensed therapist. I don’t have the exact number off hand, but think it works out to full time for a year.

Why not require all law school graduates to do the same? Or, even better, make it a requirement that all attorneys work 1/10th of billable hours on pro bono work?

Besides feeling good about themselves, the attorneys may also use their wins for the little guy in advertising and PR. Imagine. “William Spiller Helps Sunday School Teacher Save Her Home.” “Linda Grillo Gets Young Drug Addict Rehab in Lieu of Jail.” “Ken Sherman Wins $10,000,000 Law Suit for Children Who had Their Mother Taken Away.”

Hey…It’s my fantasy. I can end it any way I want to.
