Can we say due process in Domestic Relations Court in Summit County, or is railroading and total dis-regard for the integrity of the judicial process and the constitutional rights of parents the standard operating procedure?

 

Got no big surprise here, they can not say due process even with a visiting judge that we were informed was supposed to be a man of integrity. WRONG! A PACE Member had a hearing today that was totally illegal, in the fact that the visiting judge (Joseph E. Cirigliano of Lorain County [I would have put Honorable before his name but he isn't so why waste the ink]) that had the "hearing" and ruled on his own recusal. Failed to allow the Plaintiff to present any witnesses or enter his own testimony. Failed to allow the plaintiff a recess to retrieve files so that the "illegal trial" that was not supposed to be happening in the first place could continue with him presenting evidence (8000+ pages) and witnesses. This being a trial that should not have taken place, because of the recusal that have yet to be ruled on and was docketed for three days. See you in a higher court.

 

With actions such as this in the court system does anyone wonder why there is a Constitutional Challenge to the Ohio Custody law? Why they has been a federal suit filed in US District Court in Cleveland for endangering a child with processes such as this and failing to support the Constitutional Rights of every parent.

 

And add to this the troubles that Summit County has at present with Children's Service Board workers that have gone out on strike and what , probably, will be a multi-million dollar lawsuit for the endangerment of six children that were locked in a closet by two lesbian lovers and fed animal feces. Can't say for sure that they will be sued but in the eleven times that CSB has been taken to court since 1990, they have failed to win a case. Oh, wait CSB said that these children were just fine and healthy. Akron Police said the same but admitted that they failed to do a wellness check on all the kids (CSB did like wise) and actually testified in Domestic Relations Court on behalf of the mother. Even if they had testified AGAINST the mother the Magistrate would have ruled in her favor any way and stated on the record that she didn't believe them.

 

Same magistrate refused to allow a Guardian Ad Litem report to be entered into the record because "it was too favorable to the father and no father is that good". These kids now live in a trailer park in South Carolina and the last time the father saw them, he had to give them a bath before driving them back to Ohio.

 

Or how about the other father that has filed numerous contempt citations in your court and you have yet to find the mother in contempt or ruled on the father's motions, yet you didn't hesitate to find him in contempt on the only motion the mother filed. Oh and thanks for using that little know section of the Ohio revised code that allows you to change a custody order on your own. I made sure it was out in HB232.

 

Hey, Magistrate Debra Matz, where did you earn your law degree and did you forget to read OH REVISED CODE 3109.03? I highly suggest that you read it and learn it fast.

 

Let's not forget Magistrate Janice Gui who thinks that an eight year old should be held responsible for her father, an illegal immigrant, and is to make sure that he is not drunk when he has her in his possession. By the way Janice, I checked the court records, where is the contempt citation for his failure to pay child support for that same child?

 

Hey Judge Carol Deszo! Hey Judge John Quinn! Hey retired judge Judy Nicely! Wonder why there is a PACE chapter in Akron and why we have repeatedly called for a full investigation of your court? That's OK, if your other political cronies want to cover for your lack of judicial integrity because that report is coming. Like it or not.

 

Like it or not, your time is at an end. There was one judge removed from the bench here not too many years ago. I promise you that you two will be the next. As will any other politician that refuses to do the right thing. Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh, your time has come too for failing to uphold your responsibilities to the citizens of this county. You have has numerous complaints filed with your office over the perjury and fraud committed at DRC and yet you have failed to address the crimes. Thought that was the job of a prosecutor. But evidently, you don't think that this matters, nor do judicial issues and misconduct.

 

This is war and you can consider this my shot across your bow. It is the only warning that you will receive. I have made every attempt possible to develop a working and co-operative relationship with you. You have refused! The war is on and the next time, I will sink all of you.
