COME MARCH AGAINST JUDICIAL CORRUPTION WITH US

Our objective is to bring attention and media to expose all types of judicial corruption by marching on the state capitol here in Sacramento. The system is purposely putting children with abusers and child molesters for profit. Please come march and support our cause to grab media attention. Please share this event and bring your friends! BREAK THE SILENCE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ABUSE.
 
As many of you already know, Mother's of Lost Children and a few other organizations are marching at the Capitol in Washington D.C on Mother's Day, May 8, 2011 and on May 9, 2011. 
 
There are many moms here in California who would love to be there but, due to financial or other considerations, can't travel to Washington D.C. this May.  For this reason, a group of moms has decided to organize a march right here at our own CA State Capitol on May 9th.  Our mission is to bring attention to the issue of how our broken family and juvenile court systems are harming children all over our state.
 
So far, we are still in the planning stages but we have applied for a permit to assemble at the Capitol on May 9, 2011 from 10 am to 7 pm.  We would like to start of with a prayer and then march around the Capitol and maybe up to the appellate court.   Speaker Pro Tempore Fiona Ma has graciously agreed to speak at our event and her assistant has applied for a committee room from 3pm to 5pm that day.  We also sent a request to Assemblyman Jim Beall to speak regarding PAS and how it's use in family court harms children but haven't heard back regarding his availability.  We would also like to assemble a panel of experts: attorneys, investigators, child abuse experts, judges, domestic violence experts, psychologists, authors, etc.. to speak as well.  If you have contacts who may be willing to participate in our expert panel, please pass along their contact info.  We would also like to have a survivor's panel comprised of those of us who have survived or are currently surviving (somehow) abuse by a perpetrator of DV or child abuse AND abuse by the family or juvenile court system.  If you are a survivor and would like to participate and/or speak at our rally- Please contact me ASAP.  After the panels and speakers, I would like to have everyone assemble once again in front of the Capitol for a closing prayer and "candlelight vigil" or moment of silence.  I realize that in May, it won't really be dark enough for candlelight before 7 pm but it's the thought that counts.  Also, open flames are not allowed so we would have to use glow-sticks or battery operated devices anyway. 
 
We need lots of help to make this a huge success!
 
What we need right now:
 
  • Your thoughts and suggestions
  • A slogan
  • A flier
  • The support of our local non-profit organizations with anti domestic violence and anti child abuse agendas
  • Lots and lots of media attention
  • Experts for our panel
  • Survivors willing to participate in a panel and/or speak
  • Signs and banners
  • Survivors from each county and their supporters to join our march
Please contact me ASAP so that we can start to organize everything and make this a super event that will send a strong message to our lawmakers and the courts in our state!
 
Our goal is at least 1000 people!  Lets show our lawmakers and the public that this is a serious issue and a widespread problem!

If A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words...

Presley & Skye before custody was WRONGFULLY taken away from Skye's loving mother. Presley & Skye loved to play together and have tea parties! Presley always told Skye "I love you all the way to the moon, all the way to the sun, all the way to the stars, and all the way back to you." Now Presley has to be supervised to see her own sister when she has DONE NO WRONG. She has been publicly speaking out about the abuse she endured at the hands of their "father"...and now the only way she can see her sister is in a cramped dirty room being supervised. Presley, Skye's mom, and Skye's brother are treated like criminals when they have done nothing but expose the truth and speak out about the injustice and abuse they have experienced. Since when is telling the truth a crime? They have missed holidays, birthdays, and milestones in Skye's life because the system feels it is more important to cover up their wrongdoings and tearing families apart before protecting innocent children . The injustice system of America has not only failed Skye, but has failed Presley and her family. She was a victim of child sexual abuse at the hands of her father, and the injustice system continues to abuse them everyday by not allowing them to see Skye.


Skye had a loving family. A mother, a father, a brother, and a sister who love Skye with their whole heart and soul. Skye was taken away from them for no reason and placed into the hands of her abuser 24/7. Not only was Skye a victim of abuse from her biological father, but a victim of abuse from the Family Court System. She won't grow up in a loving, healthy, happy home with her biological father she will continue to be abused and permanently scarred. HOW DOES ONE JUSTIFY THAT!?? WHY IS AMERICA ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN???
This little girl is being abused. This little girl has been FAILED by the INJUSTICE SYSTEM OF AMERICA. This little girl has been wrongfully removed from a loving and caring family. This little girls voice is being silenced by her abusers....her father and the courts.

Will you be her voice when those in power are doing everything they can to SILENCE the victims and HIDE the truth?! SOS! SAVE OUR SKYE!
