Bad Mothers who are Child Abusers

Bad Mothers who are Child Abusers

Heather Thomas of Fairfax, VA was arrested last week in the shaking death of her 6-day-old granddaughter. On Christmas Day Valerie Kennedy held her son in a tub of scalding water as punishment, causing his death. Valeria Shepeleva of Falls Church allows a racist child abusing lawyer to abuse her own children to fight her ex-husband. Genevieve Silva was arrested in Oklahoma on child rape charges for luring a high school student to run away from home.

Chances are you didn't read about these incidents in your local newspaper. Because when a man commits abuse, it seems the story is splashed all over the front page. But when the perpetrator is a member of the fairer sex, the story is relegated to the bottom of the Police Report on page C9.

Each year the federal Administration for Children and Families surveys child protective service (CPS) agencies around the country to spot the latest trends in child abuse. And according to the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System, women are the most common abusers of children.

In 2003, females, usually mothers, represented 58% of perpetrators of child abuse and neglect, with men composing the remaining cases. In that same year an estimated 1,500 children died of abuse or neglect. In 31% of those cases, the perpetrator was the mother acting alone, compared to 18% of fathers acting alone.

Then there's the scandal of Dumpster babies. In 1998, 105 newborn infants were discovered abandoned in public places. One-third of those babies were found dead.

In a civilized society that makes adoption services widely-available, that practice should have been condemned as unconscionable and wrong. But instead of prosecuting the abandoners, we accommodated to the societal imperative to provide choices to women no matter the moral consequences. So we passed laws to establish "safe havens."

Under New York law, mothers can now anonymously drop off their infants up to five days old. But if she later has second thoughts, not to worry. She can come back and reclaim the child up to 15 months later.

That satisfaction-guaranteed-or-your-money-back offer might work at a Macy's handbag sale, but that's not how a moral society treats its most vulnerable members.

Patricia Pearson has written a blockbuster book called, When She Was Bad: Violent Women and the Myth of Innocence. Pearson documents repeated examples of violent women who draw their Get-Out-of-Jail-Free card by claiming PMS, battered woman's syndrome, or postpartum depression.

Remember Andrea Yates who admitted to drowning her five boys in a bathtub? Of course the National Organization for Women rushed to her defense, claiming that postpartum blues justified the serial murder. And two weeks ago Texas 1st Court of Appeals ruled that her conviction should be reversed.

Then there's the problem of women, usually female teachers, who seduce and deflower teenage boys. Look how the media sanitizes the issue. Reporters trivialize the incident using clinical phrases such as "sexual contact," or worse envelope the story in a snickering "didn't-he-get-lucky" tone.

I once knew a teenage boy who was raped by his older sister's girlfriend during a holiday visit to his parent's home. Ten years later, he was still devastated by the incident. Of course he never reported the assault, no one would have taken him seriously.

When these cases go to trial, the double standard persists. As CNN's Nancy Grace plaintively asks, "Why is it when a man rapes a little girl, he goes to jail, but when a woman rapes a boy, she had a breakdown?"

And shame on reporters who use limp clichés to excuse the inexcusable. Like the story about a New Orleans mom who stuffed her 3-month-old son in the clothes dryer and hit the On button. This was the feeble explanation that the Times-Picayune offered in its December 8 edition: "Murder Suspect 'Was Trying her Best.'"

That condescending headline brings to mind the Solomonic words of columnist Kathryn Jean Lopez: "There are mental-health issues in many of these cases, obviously, but regardless, a society can and must say loud and clear: 'That's wrong. That's evil. That can never happen again.'"

To which I say, "Amen."

In radio talk shows and internet bulletin boards around the nation, Americans' ire has reached the boiling point over female child abusers who are treated with reverential deference by the media and our legal system.

As long as we tolerate this gender double-standard, the problem will fester and grow. And our children will continue to be at risk.

An open Letter to Valeria Shepeleva.

Dear Ms. Shepeleva,

It is easy for most people in Fairfax and elsewhere to see that lawyer Robert Machen is a racist bigot who is fighting Ron Jagannathan using two innocent little children as a proxy. You are cooperating with this child abuser in abusing your own young children and you made it to the news: http://courtabuser.blogspot.com/2008/05/bad-mothers-who-are-child-abusers.html

How can you justify false accusation after false accusation that this racist lawyer is helping you make up. Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Fairfax Detectives, Fairfax CPS workers, Fairfax Judges and Citizens are sick of these allegations. Fairfax Citizens are sick of their tax monies wasted by you and your sick lawyer. Aren't you ashamed?

It shames us all to think that a mother is abusing her own children at the whim and fancy of her thrice convicted felon lawyer.

Most mothers would distance themselves from a thrice convicted felon lawyer Robert Machen. Why are you dealing with him. Is he blackmailing you? It is puzzling that you would put his interest ahead of your own children.

Do your children a big favor, Kick this Lawyer out of the case and you will be helping your children. Do this for your children.

Fairfax County resident(s)

Robert Machen a Racist bigot.

Robert Machen and his partner Stephen Armstrong may not be wearing the Klu Klux Klan's costumes while representing their clients at the Fairfax County Circuit Court, But their action speaks louder than appearances, and their racist slurs brings back painful bygone memories of Virginia Segregationist past.

Machen calls me a "sand nigger who doesn't deserve the protection of America" says Ron Jagannathan a Systems Engineer of Indian origin who works for the Department of Defense at the Pentagon.

Machen wears a suite and walks into the courtroom as a lawyer. A staunch supporter of Storm Thurmond who ran for presidency in 1948 under the segregationist banner, Machen had stated, If the people elected Strom for Presidency instead of Harry Truman, We would not be having this issue of dealing with racial integration.

Robert Machen had stated that he would work for free to prevent the mongrelization of races in Virginia. Interracial marriages are the most unstable of all marriages. Interracial marriages are a disgrace culturally, racially, and are debilitating to the country. True to his word, over the past two decades he and his partner have worked pro bono ensuring that interracial couples are separated bitterly with as much acrimony as possible.

Their latest crusade case spans over five years and several volumes of litigation documents that many say can be considered racketeering and barratry at tax payer's expenses. – A crime under current Virginia laws. Their latest victims are two young children caught in the cross fire - the tiniest victims of an interracial union.

Machen and Armstrong say -- they are just providing free legal service to a poor woman who is being manipulated by a clever ex-husband who has abused her and her children. Ron has refused to pay his child support. He is a danger to my client and her children as well as to himself. He is mentally unstable and a psychopath. Our client is unable to face him in the court or at visitation exchanges. That's why she has to be protected.

Ron Jagannathan says that as far back as 2002, he has filed countless papers with the courts with proof of the lawyers racist agenda. He says that his wife has lived under the Soviet regime, and is totally isolated under Machen and Armstrong's influence here in the U.S. These two lawyers are emotionally, mentally and psychologically battering and abusing my ex-wife into submission. Adding to that factor, she is paranoid delusional and is easily susceptible to manipulations.

These lawyers are no saints representing a poor client. They are totally misrepresenting their client using her as a surrogate to persecute me says Ron. She is not the perpetrator here. I have nothing against my former wife, and would like to help her end this litigation and to bring the two lawyers to justice so that we may both work together parenting our children.

The FBI had refused to act – Unless Valeria walks into their office and swears out a testimony regarding the abuses; Then they may be able to prosecute Machen.

I guarantee this racketeering litigation will end within a week if the two lawyers are kicked out of the equation by the Fairfax Judges. I have been pleading with the Judges to do just that. Wouldn't that be in the best interest of my children? Says Ron. Look – Their previous clients, Ms. Arlene Harmes had sued Mchen for misrepresenting her interests, Another client – Ms.Yvette Davis had complained of being sexually abused by Machen and Armstrong and had turned around and sued them in the court, a third client had committed suicide while being represented by Machen. The Women's shelter where Machen and Armstrong recruited Valeria had banned them from approaching any of their clients after some of them complained of being sexually harassed. There is something very bad going on here.

U.S Senator John Warner's office had recognized the problem and has called for a FBI investigation into the case. In a letter to U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Senator Warner had requested that the Justice Department intervene and investigate the complaints.

A criminal background investigation for Machen reveals that his law license had been previously suspended by the Virginia State Bar for deceit and fraud. Machen has been convicted by Honorable Judge Albert V. Bryan, in the United States District Court of Virginia, Alexandria Division,

U.S Attorneys had prosecuted him for obstruction of justice and Document fraud for which he had received three felony convictions and a year in jail.

In a past complaint, Three Judges appointed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, Honorable Judge Thomas D. Thorne, Judge Dickson L.Foster, Judge Robert K. Woltz had found by clear and convincing evidence that Machen had engaged in conduct for personal advantage, involving deceit that reflects adversely on his fitness to practice law and found him guilty under DR1-102(A)(4) of code of professional responsibility.

The Organization - Citizen for Legal Reform reports Machen has engaged in numerous conduct which tends to undermine the administration of justice and brings legal businesses into disrepute.

Recently, two Loudoun county Circuit court Judges had refused to preside over a case in which Robert Machen was a party. A Loudoun county prosecutor had refered to him as a "douche bag" lawyer.

Armstrong had been representing Machen in each of his disciplinary proceedings before the court.

Ron frustrated by a lack of action by the Fairfax Circuit court had approached the U.S Justice department. In his letter to the U.S Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Ron outlined Machen's violations of several state and federal statutes in his representations which prompted U.S Senator John Warner to ask for a federal investigation.

This has been a very frustrating experience. I can't believe these lawyers are still allowed to practe law says a lawyer on conditions of anonymity. He has had three felony convictions. It is unbelievable the State courts have been silent over this says a friend. This is not the sixties!

In June of 1958, two residents of Virginia, Richard Loving, a white man and Mildred Jeter, a colored woman were married in the District of Columbia pursuant to its laws.

Shortly thereafter returning to Virginia, where upon their plea of guilty, they were sentenced, in a Virginia state court, to one year in jail. for violating Virginia's ban on interracial marriages. October of 1958 a Virginia grand jury issued an indictment charging the Lovings with violating Virginia's ban on interracial marriages. On January 6, 1959, the Lovings pleaded guilty to the charge and were sentenced to one year in jail.

Their motion to vacate the sentences on the ground of the unconstitutionality of these statutes was denied by the trial court. The Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals affirmed.
"Leaving State to evade law. -- If any white person and colored person shall go out of this State, for the purpose of being married, and with the intention of returning, and be married out of it, and afterwards return to and reside in it, cohabiting as man and wife, they shall be punished as provided in § 20-59, and the marriage shall be governed by the same law as if it had been solemnized in this State. The fact of their cohabitation here as man and wife shall be evidence of their marriage."
Section 20-59, which defines the penalty for miscegenation, provides:
"Punishment for marriage. -- If any white person intermarry with a colored person, or any colored person intermarry with a white person, he shall be guilty of a felony and shall be punished by confinement in the penitentiary for not less than one nor more than five years."
Forty years later, in June of 1998, two residents of Virginia, Ron Jagannathan an Indian man and Valeria Shepeleva a white woman were married in Novosibirsk Siberia and returned to Virginia. They did not face any harassment from the State and went on to live in Reston, Virginia creating a family. In a series of events that lead to Valeria being estranged from Ron and ending up in a shelter. Robert Machen secreting his client at a shelter filed a divorce even without consulting his client. Using his client as a surrogate,
