And ... thank you for the breaking news...Hi Peter,<br /><br />And ... thank you for the breaking news on "Szymonik" and the "perils" of family court & GAL reform in Connecticut.<br /><br />It is truly "a teachable moment" for everyone, both in Connecticut ... and for all America! While we lay sleeping over the years, our family courts all over the US have evolved into "terror camps" for divorcing families and their children! It is an applied example of the famous, old adage: "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty!"<br /><br />We as a people have NOT been vigilant about our family courts and they have gradually evolved into being the "private property of the "divorce industry"! And abuse has followed our inattention, getting bigger and bigger and worse and worse. It needs to stop! It needs a base of caring, concerned, aware people to stop it. Voters!! Citizens!! Legislators! Governors, lawyers!<br /><br />Your personal "family court story" tells it all. You are the "poster child" for Americans in every state who are confronting variations on this same theme of extreme abuse of decent normal citizens/families/children by family courts & GALs.!<br /><br />The key in your case and many seems to be: JUDICIAL DISCRETION ON STEROIDS! Family court judges in Maine can do anything they want under the rubric of "JUDICIAL DISCRETION". And those who would oppose these judges are charged with CONTEMPT OF COURT for challenges to JUDICIAL DISCRETION!! Circular??<br /><br />We are ALL of us (in whatever state) citizens of Connecticut at this moment. We are all riveted by the Szymonik story.<br /><br />Keep us posted. Keep the "Szymonik press releases" flowing.<br /><br />Best wishes.<br /><br />Jerry CollinsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
