From Madness To Mutiny: Why Mothers Are Running From The Family Courts by
Amy Neustein and Michael Leshner
This is the latest book to be written by long-time underground supporter
and possible alleged leader Amy Neustein who had a controversial custody
case of her own. There are some who believe Neustein tried to take
over the underground when Faye was on trial in 1992. This book is not
a definitive resource for how to handle cases but self-serving propaganda
for the underground. Neustein even has co-author Leshner reference her
own case on page 4, although it isn’t specifically discussed. The index
of the book is a good resource for a who’s who of the the underground,
or who’s an independent expert witness and who’s not. -
Understanding
and Assessing Child Sexual Maltreatment by Dr. Kathleen Coulborn
Faller
(2003) This book is only listed here because Dr. Faller used cited our
website on page 239 while discussing McKenzie Carpenter and Alan Detrich’s
controversial article in which they photographed/interviewed Ellen Dever,
Bonnie Rubenstein and Amanda Meyer going underground. We don’t understand why
Dr. Faller feels a need to defend these underground moms.
-

and Judges by Karen Winner
is a extremist who doesn’t believe necessary believe in joint custody and that

Family Abduction Watch 
There id a lot of talking about Michael Jackson dead, it’s a very sad for me because I love his music, I still didnt’ believe in his dead. Hi was a definitelpy king of ‘Pop’.
Comfortabl y, the article is in reality the greatest on this worthy topic. I concur with your conclusions and will thirstily look forward to your coming updates. Saying thanks will not just be sufficient, for the wonderful lucidity in your writing. I will directly grab your rss feed to stay privy of any updates. Good work and much success in your business dealings!
It floors me that our government rather directly divert the responsibility of actions taken by their various agencies to cover and allow for more time to gather for themselves by mistracking and miscategorizing the legal responsibilities only to dump a cold case into a Mental Health wastebasket. Should discovery properly label a matter or should it be burried miscategorized and sent to other less offensive list and endanger Public Safety. Sedition and Treason are a very serious matter to allow to flourish undetected and is National Security matter. SO many fail to recommend cases to higher government at once and then it is discovered abroad to the dismay of all those who witnessed signatures in Geneva on Humanitarian law, Child rights.
To say until the child grows up and become an adult is outragious when there was a filthy philosophy entertaining to minimizing the worth and the report of a child.
where were you when I had to run with my daughter and when I hid her out and went back to court to try to regain custody of my 3 that DHS had they put me in Jail till they found out where the baby was but they couldnt touch her she was in another state with a family member.
Im behind you 110% for helping these women and children against these corrupt courts and abusers
What is a travesty is when 3yrs pass, five, then twenty as tortured young American’s are undefended by their own family, Alienated from the Parent from which theyr were abducted from; thus blocking even local government from ever reaching this child, teen, your young adult. Our Constitutional rights violated by foreign immigration pouring into our nation to plunder and upgrade by PROCREATING for an upgrade from their greencard status. WHO the heck let such Sedition into our nation in the first place and what authority hired such police and court system representatives who cannot discern federal level matters. Are our states not taking FEDERAL liberties? this state nor any other are not their own nation but a state within a body called the United States of America. Are we a united front or not?
We are required under the law to be DUTIFUL, and DILIGENT but more over to possess Fidelity and yet LOYALTY plumets to the ditch?
We OUGHT to Report Wastage & Fraud and yet so many ma y Americans do not know honesty nor the meaning of FRAUD, much less that our Citizenship comes with RESPONSIBILITIES. Just as our Diver’s License is a PRIVILEDGE not a right to possess, our population needs to have self respect before it is to make any demands without putting into the pot. If our graduates do not knw the workings of their federal government and their society or neighborhood how then are these to distinguish between their communities much less where they will take their place. Do parents train their children or merely feed and cloth wreckless rebels to also plunder by their limitless boundaries issues into the worlf to derail and trample their neighbor and community.
Where are the children to accomodate themselves in all this with such savage behavior running amuck?
As a member of a trashed society which actually favored the federal government from the beginning I still say our leaders are simply not told everything and keeping the torch lit on this topic should be everyone’s concern.
Peace to you all
“We are required under the law to be DUTIFUL, and DILIGENT but more over to possess Fidelity and yet LOYALTY plumets to the ditch?”
