RE: Case No. 96D217

On December 1, 2004, via cell phone, I was contacted by the GAL who had stated that my Safe-Visit with
my daughter was cancelled that was scheduled for that very evening.\u2026stating that Rikki had called her the
night before at her home\u2026..as Rikki had a girlscout dinner and that Rikki would like for me to attend. GAL
further stated that she had discussed this with Hal and he agreed to let me\u2026.and that he would not be in
attendance. My visit was cancelled, and no make up visit was re-scheduled.

Again the GAL called and told me Hal would not be there\u2026and that she had been out to Hal\u2019s house just last week\u2026and again Hal will not be there...and Then for a third time, 10miutes after the 2nd call, the GAL called me again and said she had \u201d\u2026 just got done talking with Hal and he would be there after all.\u201d

At this dinner Rikki came with her father his girlfriend and her two kids. Rikki stayed with her dad and his
live-in girlfriend\u2026through the buffet line and sat at he table with them during the dinner\u2026..again\u2026.I was
made to feel as an outcast\u2026..with people staring at me as Hal was talking to them\u2026.this is all on video
tape\u2026\u2026my camcorder\u2026.my only allies, in a school where I was once considered a very wonderful mom
of a very beautiful girl\u2026\u2026..now\u2026\u2026I am an outcast in my daughters life\u2026..not by her choice\u2026\u2026but by
the intimidation of her father\u2026..as he has already proven to her that he is in control\u2026..and that he will
never allow me to be a significant part of her life.

The Live in girlfriend has a daughter 12 years old in 6th grade and a son 14 years old in 8th grade, they all
live in the same house as Rikki and the older boy and girl sleep in a room together in bunk beds\u2026.as Rikki
is considered to be my dependent and is entitled to my Social Security benefits\u2026.of which Hal is the payee
of $412.00 A MONTH\u2026. This guarantees Rikki the right to her own room\u2026..so in order to keep my
daughters benefits\u2026and for him to remain her payee of said benefits, Hal made the two older children stay
in and share the only bedroom left in that house.

I know that there are ordinances prohibiting this\u2026.yet\u2026it appears as usual that Hal is above any
laws\u2026..as he has already shown time and time again. A worthy note here is that the 14 year old boy is
ADD, very prone to violence as the schools records will show and has been investigated for sexual abuse
towards my daughter Rikki, now 9 years old. Her Birthday, December 12, 2004.

The same Birthday to which the attached e-mail references\u2026.Rikki\u2019s Birthday party on Friday to which there will now be none\u2026..\u201d..Let\u2019s not single her out.\u201d\u2026.better to just rescind all parenting time, and keep mom away from daughter as much as legally possible\u201d

I am being denied all rights as a parent and Rikki\u2019s rights to be with her mom during any holidays and or
birthdays\u2026..Again\u2026. based on false allegations. Hal\u2019s intimidating and forceful hand has even ordered the
principal of Rikki\u2019s school Mr. Hippe that stated certain other parents who have children in the same school
that know both Rikki and I were to\u201d\u2026\u2026 stay away from Rikki because they know me\u201d\u2026.therefore if this
being the case, then a significant number of parents are banned from speaking with me or my
daughter\u2026yet Swartz has the audacity to state that Rikki does not like being singled out\u2026.even on her
birthday\u2026..something that Rikki herself\u2026.requested I do for her as this honors her and makes her \u201cday\u201d
her birthday especially her 10th birthday a special day indeed.

Mr. Swartz is very wrong in his statements to the point of it being detrimental to the psychological health of a young lady who is turning 10, do not single her out, do not make her feel special\u2026.and to ostracize her mother from her life. This is supposed to be in the best interest of the child\u2026? I think not.

Without substantial evidence rescinded my visitation for more than 9 months. Simply because an 8
time criminally convicted batterer stated lies that were automatically considered gospel and without
even asking me about the allegations\u2026pulled the visitation.
This has been the norm since the case manager was appointed to the case\u2026. Time and time again I
asked the presiding judge for an opportunity to present evidence which would refute and lay to rest
the obvious lies and intentional distortions by the petitioner. And time and time again\u2026still to this
date I have been denied the right to a hearing.

Extremely to comfortable as she herself stated \u201c visit at Hal\u2019s house, and late night phone calls.\u201d
Very cozy and comfortable stating that she was out to Hal\u2019s house last week and they have her
home phone so that they, or Rikki can call her at anytime\u2026.Conflict of interest has already
been established by her relationship with Rene Netherton and Scott McKenzie\u2026.the line of
professionalism has clearly ceased to exist as if it ever did.

My parenting time with my daughter has been rescinded, and the games continue, whenever Hal
says \u201cjump\u201d the case manager and Gal alike say how high.\u2026and then again Rikki and I lose what
little ground we have gained, by jumping through every circus hoop that the case manager Hal and
the Gal ask us to in order to co-operate with the process\u2026then when we get close to ending or
resolving this need for supervised visitation, then \u2018bam\u2019 Hal cries foul, makes up yet another story
and sets the progress back and again I am falsely accused without representation and without due
process\u2026\u2026\u2026Rikki and I are punished again\u2026..
This is the purest and blatantly cruelest case of parental interference that I have ever been privy to.

\u201cThe Best interest of the child rule has never been applied to this case\u2026.it has ALWAYS been the best
interest of the Abuser\u201d\u2026\u2026and it still is\u2026\u2026He is a self admitted and convicted batterer with 8 CR
convictions of violence including battery of an L.E.O. And a noted Substance abuser as evidenced by his
Court Commitment to SARP r/t his battery of a law Enforcement Officer...And in Judge Buchle\u2019s Order
stating that Hal was to abstain from alcoholic consumption four hour prior to visitation and during
visitation with Rikki. (The original Divorce Decree)

Time and time again Judge Bruns for this past year has stated over and over that both parent are considered
to be fit and able to care for there child\u2026again\u2026I ask\u2026. Why...am I not allowed to be my daughters
mother\u2026?
And why is the father still able to use the Courts Officers to foster his own agenda to intentionally drive a
little girl\u2019s mom out of her life\u2026?\u2026The Best interest of the abuser\u2026?\u2026..No one else\u2019s better interest
except for the Court appointed officers who are making money by the hour hand over hand to prolong and
continue the torture and punishment of 2 innocent people\u2026 a little girl and her mother.

I have been forced out of my home and out of the State to seek protection as the Case Manager and others
appointed to this case have said that the beatings I received by Hal during visitation exchanges, is part of
co-parenting, and that by my seeking a PFA, I was being UN-co-operative with co parenting and that I
would lose even more rights to my daughter\u2026.finally in January 2004, I could take no more. And I fled the
state abandoning EVERYTHING\u2026.I received a Full Order of Protection from the State of Missouri\u2026..I
might add that Missouri is appalled at this whole case\u2026..everyone from the media to court officials and
crisis centers are appalled\u2026..Gene Schmidt the victims rights coordinator of the Kansas Attorney General
Office is appalled and is amazed at how ANY of this could have happened to begin with anyway, victims
being re victimized by the very courts that are there to protect them\u2026.
\u2026.see his attached e-mail\u2026..in fact the ONLY people that are not appalled are those who are the ones
enabling the abuser to continue to control and isolate\u2026not only mom, but now Rikki who is isolated
completely .I am appalled that my daughter was being taught that violence is appropriate behavior\u2026\u2026

I could only give her one thing\u2026..example\u2026..that this is wrong\u2026.beatings are not a family value\u2026.and
take away her guilt as I WAS ONLY BEING BEAT DURING VISITATION
EXCHANGES\u2026..THEREFORE\u2026her guilt was tremendous I saw it in her eyes\u2026\u2026.I did only what I
could do \u2026.the only gift I could give her at this point\u2026\u2026.that violence is wrong. And again stop the
trauma that she had to go through. In order to see her mother.

I only wish I were exaggerating\u2026Unfortunately\u2026. I am minimizing\u2026. The brutality of the physical,
financial and judicial abuse is mind boggling. A horror story that is real, a nightmare to which Rikki and I
can not awake from.

I am not wanting to get into a big debate about the removal of the above-mentioned parties at this time,
however, it would be nice. My immediate concern lies with my daughter and the intentional harm that is
being inflicted upon her\u2026under the guise of the best interest of the child. By the petitioner who continues
to manipulate the officers to which are assigned to this case and to the school administration that feel
threatened enough by Hal to issue there own verbal warnings to other caring parents, because Hal told them
to.

Again keeping in mind that this entire past year Judge Bruns himself has stated clearly in several letter decisions and Orders, that \u201cBoth parents are considered fit by the Court, and that supervised visitation is rarely considered to be a long term solution.\u201d

It is with the Honorable Bruns letters and orders that I seek reprieve for my daughter and my self\u2026..Please
release us from the bondage and allow us to spend some time together during the holidays, I implore her
honor to stop this game playing with two very real lives and allow a daughter and mom to be just that.

I apologize to the Court if the tone of this letter is disrespectful in anyway, this is not my intent. I am
simply a mother who is very frustrated by the continued process of the constant separation, physically and
psychologically between a daughter and her mother, for no reason but to further the agenda of a
father/abuser who must maintain his \u2018control\u2019 of others lives, even to the detriment of his own daughter.
