This letter is disturbing, but it is authentic. If it was a hoax, the officers of the court who are mentioned would have a good defamation case against this writer.
The following letter was written by a child who is now an adult. It was written at the request of his attorney and with no input by the mother. (This can be verified.) His little brother is still ordered to live with the father. The father and court monitor Michael Howard frustrate all visitation with the mother. The mother was not accused of substance abuse, child abuse, she has no criminal record; there was not even an accusation of PAS by the mother. The court actually gave no articulated reason why the mother's visits should be monitored and why the father, tried for child abuse in 2008 has custody.
The order of sole legal and physical custody to the father was made by Commissioner Alan Friedenthal and upheld by Judge Elizabeth Feffer of the Superior Court of Los Angeles. Today, September 3, 2009, the Court of Appeals denied a petition for Writ of Mandate to change venue and vacate all orders made by the court since Commissioner Friedenthal took over the case.
This letter is part of the court record. Only names have been deleted to protect the identity of the victims.
I request that full custody be granted to my mother. My father is an alcoholic. He has regularly and sometimes for no reason hit me over and over again, not stopping until I was crying and pleading uncontrollably, throughout my entire childhood. He has told me and has vividly described how he would kill me if I ever "tattled on" him. When in his custody, I am always depressed. He tells me that he doesn't care about me and would abandon me often. The only happy memories I have with my dad were when he got me drunk. He has forced me to lie to CPS, lawyers and everybody. He has forced me to commit crimes for him such as stealing materials from construction sites and siphoning gas. He made me break into my mother's house so I could steal tax records, account numbers and legal forms.
Whenever I would tell the police or other authority my father was abusing me and my younger brother, nothing was done. At some point I was convinced that nothing would ever stop him from doing these kinds of things, especially not the United States Government and I gave up.
