Hi Carey,
This is great news! Thanks for letting us know. I saw a report on the Today Show this morning.

How can anyone consider that anyone has the ability to kidnap their own children?
I see alot about the “abductors” on here, but has anyone looked into who they are running from? I’m sure that some of these cases bear further understanding before all are painted with the same brush…
My thoughts exactly…I know it is hard the the family that gets in between this and does not see thier family, but it isn’t funny when you have to leave to protect your child. I know because I did. Our case has never been resolved. My son is now 30 yrs. old.
Run mommies run!!! Children deserve to be with their mommies and I hope you NEVER EVER find them! I hope these children are waking up happy every morning in the arms of the moms who gave them life! We need more Faye Yagers out there.
RUN MOMMY RUN! HIDE CHILDREN HIDE!
I’m sorry but Faye Yeager is an enabler. She enables mothers to run off with their children.
How could she and April Meyer not have known where Amanda Otter was?
She enabled a mentally ill woman, who was physically abusive towards the child’s father, to run off with her baby daughter during a supposedly “supervised” visit.
Being in the underground is not the way for a child to live.
These are not “protective parents.” They’re kidnappers.
That’s Savannah Todd you’re talking about, right? She’s never been seen since. I will not go into the disturbing implications of that.
And does Jessica Vargas Biatriz belong with her mom? After all, Mom only broke into the home by force and wounded Dad and killed her uncle. But I’m sure she did it for all the right reasons.
I know that Faye does not get involved with someone unless she has proof that something terrible is happening or has happened. I know because she helped me. I am grateful for what she did. Is she perferct certainly not, but she dang sure knows what’s happened to a lot of children in this world; more than our stupid judicial system knows about.
VBM,
Have you ever seen the videos where Faye Yager browbeat or asked leading questions to these children until she got a false disclosure? Why was she interviewing these children without any professional credentials or training?
Can you tell us what Faye Yager promised you if you went underground? Can you tell us what you were promised if you got caught?
The Editor
I would enable too if I could and nobody,s children would be taken by the courts again
I just have one question for all these women who are so totally supportive of this CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR: at what age do boys stop being boys… and become men who are of course only to be hated?
Is it:
13, when social services ‘Shelters’, run by DV zealots (and funded by the federal gov’t) stop allowing boys in?
16, when they’re legally old enough to drive a car?
17, when they’re legally old enough to join the military and go catch a bullet for God and Country?
21, when they’re old enough to legally drink a beer?
Or at whatever age it’s no longer ideologically acceptable to call them boys any more?
Think about it, these “sons” will become men one day, ergo inversely the men you hate are also a womans son.
Have you ever asked our mothers how they feel about your hatred of us?
I hope you are cozily perched upon your throne of hatred for men, because I for one haven’t seen my daughter in years, through > NO FAULT OF MY OWN < (I mean aside from having the misfortune of being born with the wrong chromosome).
I also hope you never inflict yourself upon a man, much give birth to any sons.
The world has enough problems without your hatred.

Ms. Rubenstein has ofcourse been caught, and is working in the area of human services. RECOVERY RESOURCES LLC in Norwich, CT is her employer, one of the worst human service agencies in the state. She is a ‘project manager’ and works with people whom can not fend for themselves. The very sad thing is this..she is STILL a pathological liar, and is emotionally abusive to the people she is in charge of. The owner of the company tells people that he is ‘teflon’ and no abuse report sent to the State of Connecticut will ever come to surface because his mother allegedly is pretty high up with the state…the agency needs to be investigated along with Rubenstein…BECAUSE of Rubenstein…after all, because of the CT. court system, she has never been held accountable for falsely alleging child sexual abuse..the pathological liar in her has never been treated…her…’therapist’ (Bob Wade) makes a lot of money off of her…many of her clients also go to him, because of a referal from her……funny how that is. Yes, this woman makes those of us in the area of human services sick…she is NOT respected, but appears to be teflon. Sick..sick woman she is. People…STAY AWAY from her and the agency she works for…all are very sick people.
I knew Faye Yeager before she moved away from Marietta. She was a horrible, greedy person. I am surprised that the media never dug into her story better than they did. She did not verify any stories of abuse, she would charge a pretty high fee to send people underground, sometimes taking furniture, cars jewelry in trade. Having them max out their credit cards and run.
She hurt a lot more people than she helped.
Like many people, she was in it for the ego trip and the money.
I honestly don’t know my thoughts on this. What’s to be done when the court system doesn’t work? Would you so willingly hand your child over to your ex, knowing that your ex is going to abuse your child? Wouldn’t you do whatever you had to to keep your child safe? Then again, I’m sure some parents go underground for frivolous and selfish reasons. So what do you do? I’m very confused about this.
I haven’t seen any evidence the court system truly does not work yet.
What about Faye Yager’s case, where her child was given to the notorious child molester for years by the court, while she was deemed insane for alleging it?
Sherry,
Faye’s case ocurred many, many years ago when Georgia’s Child Protective Services were either in their early stages or was non-existent. For her or any other protective parent cause supporters to try and convince custodial embattled moms of the year 2010 that going underground with your child is a reasonable legal alternative is outright insane! Furthermore, her claims of finding satanic ritual abuse in many of her cases does not add to her credibility.
The Editor
I was a stay-at-home mom who lost custody of her precious 5 yr.old. I testified that my ex spanked my son when he was only 9 mths old. I stated that I had concerns that he could not feed him properly. His dad raised him for six years. He starved him, beat him, and tied a rope around his neck and tied it to his bed; so that he could experience what the dog felt being chained to the doghouse all day. He denied me three solid years of visitation and then gave me custody back! He hasn’t even tried to see my son for five years…or pay support. The courts lie, withold evidence, change tapes, to do what they want. It’s never what’s in the child’s best interest. B4 u judge someone remember my Jake who weiged less at age 12, than his kindergartner brother. He was skin and bones when he got to come back home.
The Editor seems to have some facts misconstrued.
http://www.leadershipcouncil.org/1/pas/dv.html
So why are there so many people in the underground. Are they all man-haters? I’ve even seen movies about a judge who is going to award custody to an abusive parent and the other parent (to protect the child) takes off and hides. I couldn’t blame that parent at all. On the other hand, some mentally ill non-custodial parent could do the same and there’s no one to stop them or help you find the kid. So is the thought here that all the cases are unjustified and that Yaeger woman has some kind of hidden agenda?
Thanks for the insight.
Fiction is not fact. Movies show invasions by aliens from outer space too, but that doesn’t mean it’s happening in real life
And how many people are in the underground? It’s probably not a great deal. But in one year alone three hundred thousand children will be abducted by a parent.
I have worked on many of the Faye Yeager cases of parental abductns, I know Yeager and i have talked with her on many occasions Faye Yeager has one agenda. IT IS THE MONEY ISSUE. Yeager started in Mississippi, and then on to Atlanta. Yeager is a cunning and smart individual and many of the families she put in the underground will never be recovered. Ellen Dever was recoved because the husband in the case had many resources and he was able to hire the best in the business and Ellen was recovered. YEAGER HAS ONE AGENDA MONEY!!!!!
I do not believe that!….I lived with her for a short time –never gave her a damn dime…..She’s never sent me a bill. It’s been a long time…We left when my son was about 6. He is now 30 yrs. old….Shame on you for thinking this about Faye. And I know for a fact that she does not do anything with children if she isn’t sure something is happeing with the child and the courts are not doing anything —which is what they did in our case—–nothing…..
VBM,
She didn’t have any professional credentials, she should never had been interviewing children. If she had so many connections with the FBI, why wouldn’t she find a child therapist to interview the children. When you and your son were underground, did your son get the therapy he needed?
The Editor
So where are these 300,000 kids who are abducted by a parent if not the underground? Is that something different? And some of the movies I’m referring to are supposedly based on true stories.
Hiding from the authorities. Some are in other countries.
“Supposedly” being the key word here.
This is a terrific blog posting, im happy I uncovered this. Ill be back in the future to check out other posts that you have on your blog.
I am planning to major in journalism and I am writing a research paper on Faye Yager. I have found lots of information but I was really hoping to get primary source interviews. Does anyone know of an email address or any means of contacting Faye Yager? I would also like to interview someone credible who is opposed to Yager and her underground network. Would anyone be willing to complete a short interview through email or have an email address where I could contact Faye? I would greatly appreciate it!!
I read that she has a bed and breakfast in Brevard, NC.
can give you a book to write. e-mail me.
Greetings, My name is Marlene Faith Graham. I have been a resident of Texas since January of 2009. I am in a court case here in Texas and I am in dire need of assistance. My husband fled Texas with our two small children in July of 2009 and went to Utah . After learning of his plan to not return with the children, I filed for divorce here in Williamson County . Judge Michael Jergins is presiding over my case here in Texas . In November, Judge Jergins issued a 60-day temporary order for my husband to return the kids within 10 days, pay my attorney fees and also pay a bond to the court preventing him from fleeing Texas with the kids, again. My husband disobeyed the order in Texas because he was erroneously issued an order in Utah giving him temporary custody of the kids. At the time these orders were issued, TEXAS had proper jurisdiction of the matter not Utah . Since then order in Texas has expired and the order in Utah has been set aside by Judge Rand Beacham. Judge Jergins here in Texas is questioning where proper jurisdiction is and wants to confer with Judge Beacham in Utah to decide. Since moving here to Texas I have maintained employment and a household for myself and my family up until they left. I have still maintained employment and have taken care of my financial responsibilities. My husband worked for three (3) weeks here in Texas and did not work again (and still has not) since then. He has defaulted on all of his financial responsibilities and his mother is supporting him. I have not seen my children in 8 months. I went to Utah to see my kids and they were taken out of state (without my knowledge or consent) to California by my husbands mother. Even when they were within 1 1/2 hr away from me my husband and his mother refused to let me see them. I don’t have a lot of money to fly back and forth to visit my kids, especially when they are kept from me when I attempt to. A couple of issues with my husband, he is a registered sex offender (which he did not disclose to me until after we were married) in Utah and Texas , he has a pending DUI case in Utah and he has kidnapped and intentionally and deliberately kept my kids from me. There are also police reports proving physical abuse against me by my husband. I call my kids every day. My kids are 2 and 4 years old. I have missed both of their birthdays, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. Camden is 4 and Tracen is 2. There have sometimes been 6-7 days where nobody will answer the phone or call me back. This is affecting my boys to the extent that Camden has gone almost four weeks now without saying ANYTHING to me on the phone. I know he’s listening, but he won’t talk. Their father and grandmother are committing emotional child abuse on them. I am begging you to use what influence you may have to urge the judge in Texas to maintain jurisdiction here in Texas , as it is the proper jurisdiction and I have maintained residency here for over a year. I have made Texas my home. I don’t plan to move and this is where I want my children raised.
I am forwarding this e-mail to Texas and Utah Senators, Representatives, Governers and local news media.
I need your help so that the bond and emotional connection I have with my kids is not lost. Please!
Thank You,
Marlnene F. Graham
I will forward a letter of support to your judge tomorrow. However, you have the same rights to the kids you need to go and get them. Also, make sure that you have an order specifically telling the sheriff or police officers to take the children into custody. Otherwise, they will not be accountable. You can hold them in contempt of court if they fail to follow the court’s order. Furthermore, they won’t have the “authority” to get your children.
IF YOU STLL NEED SOME HELP, YOU CAN CONTACT ME AT tfpa2005@aol.com, i may be of assistance to you. I have recovered many children, but i am retred now, but i may be able to give you some idea’s……
I recall reading on the Doe Network’s write up on Therese Walsh’s profile and it stated that her mother wasn’t allowed to see her unless she passed a psychiatric evaluation. The father was proven to never have had any inappropriate contact with his daughter nor were the allegations ever proven in court?
I’ve got one question though? Now that Threse is of age, she’s 28 now isn’t she?, but she still hasn’t come out of hiding. Why do you think she hasn’t come out of hiding yet?
contact me if you have not recovered you children, i may be able t help you.
I just came across this and want to say something. Some of these comments are bullshit. There is a serious problem where the courts will NOT help the children. I know a 4 year old boy who was molested and raped by his father. Instead of running you all want people like that to hand their child over to the molester/rapist? Your out of your minds! Yeah, some of these women might be lying. However, when your childs life is in the hands of judge because some pedophiles lawyer can talk better, and they issue you to hand your kids to them, then we will have a converstation and talk. Good for Faye! I hope she saves a ton of kids from these sick men! And to the mothers that are going through this, DONT GIVE UP! Protect them with everything you got!
I completely agree with you Jen. I think Faye is doing the job that the courts SHOULD have done in the first place. I am in the same position right now with my two young sons. My ex-husband has put me through a nightmare. How much physical and emotional abuse should one family take? My ex has lied and twisted his way to bring me down. I am fighting a losing battle with the courts as he has inside females that work in the family division. Now, I recently was told that he is going into the police academy. He told me once that he will do whatever it takes to get the children away from me just to make me suffer. He has also told me I was his property and that he would rather see me dead than with anyone else. I don’t understand how a person with a domestic violence background is now going to become a police officer entrusted with a gun and the chance to do whatever he pleases. I just got documentation again yesterday that he wants to take the kids away and I am left feeling sick about this. I don’t know what to do….do I run with them…or turn them over to a man that will physically harm them??? Sorry to say but if I found someone that could help me I would probably run to. Keeping my children safe me more to me than my own life. And I will do whatever is in me to protect them from harm.
I agree with you on this. I am not a man hater. I am married. I did have to leave though yrs. ago to protect my son who is now 30 yrs. old. No arrest was ever issed for me. This did cause some hurtful feelings with family members but the main thing was to make my son safe which is what I did. Was it fun? No…It was difficult. I have never regretted leaving when I did. I gave up a mobile home I was buying and a 10 yr job that I had worked very hard at in Insurance.
I took my 18 month old daughter and left America beacause I knew I would never get a a fair case.m My husband stole ALL our money and put it towards his attorney days after I discovered he ea seeing another woman. He cut off all my credit cards and bank affiliations so I was left with nothing…of while he was carrying on witg his little lovely affair…oh and while our duagghter was in heart failur. She survived but 4 days later my sister died drom a rare heart problem. 3 weeks later my other sister was rushed to hospital anf nearly died/ It s funny ho when i complained about th same syptoms. I was told I was maskimg it up wantin popel to feel sorry for mefarhthest from the truth“““`..“““““““““.
Dear Mutiny, the moment you boarded the plane with your child without a court order, you became a Family Abductor as well as Judge, Jury and Executioner. Unfortunately, you left behind your rights to co-parent your children. It’s up to you now to swallow your pride and rebuild your character and reputation with the American Courts. Yes, if you stayed in the U.S. and went through the court system you would have joint custody of your children today. So what’s so bad about joint custody? The good news is that it usually doesn’t take much effort to re-gain your custodial rights is you swallow your pride and demonstrating to the courts that you can co-parent your children.
you are a sick woman for taking your child away
from her dad. Ofcourse he left you, you are an
ill person. You selfishly complain about how
bad he was to you, but offer no reason to keep
his child away from him. Your selfish, mentally
ill and do not deserve to be a mother.
He cheated on you because he knew you were
unbalanced and probably already used the kid as
bait.
Karma
sorry that was sent way before ready! Don’t we all just want a normal safe life for our kids? Or maybe an unconventional life that we still want our children to be happy and safe? kids being shuffled about between parents and courts for long periods of times is not right. It’s disgusting…Amyway…best thing I did was leave it all and bring my daughter up in a safe world without thr carazy courts or crazy x husband who raped me 2 meters from her!
I may info soon on how to help my 5 yr old. She told me two months ago her non custodial father had been sexually assaulting her. I have reported it to everyone. The police have not brought charges and my ex has hired an attorney and I can’t even get a permenante restraining order. I do have a TRO. The way this is going is frightening. his lawyer is lying to the judge and the police won’t call me back. My daughter has night terrors and started wetting the bed, she acts like an adult with PTSD. What can I do?
If he is not charged will I have to give him visitation?
Hi CM, First of all, any parent that believes his or child is being abused by their spouse should get their child into therapy and to their child’s peditrician for a professional opinion. As a parent, it is extremely dangerous to rely on only your unqualified observations and parenting skills, unless you directly witnessed this. Parents and overzealous unqualified protective parent advocates like Faye Yager should never interview a child. There is a underground mom that was so convinced, she put a microphone in a stuffed animal. She never found any evidence although her story appeared on a National TV Show. Several years later after she went underground, a civil war broke out where she was a refugee. She called her former spouse and told him to come get his son. The point is, did she believe the allegation, was it a reasonable belief or was she so motivated by anger and revenge over her failed marriage that she just didn’t want to share custody. In that case, it sounds like she never really believed it. I read a child’s therapist once asked a custodial-embattled mother, “If I told your child was not abused by your former spouse, would that be a good or bad thing?” How would you answer that question?
Good job on this article! I really like how you presented your facts and how you made it interesting and easy to understand. Thank you. 308359
No, I have never seen any videos of her browbeating anyone. I came to her and asked for her help….The FBI was looking for things to catch her with then….I had money to leave with when I left…She never promised me anything…I was never wanted or charged with any kidnapping…Hope this helps you…..
Sorry about the mistake. It is now fixed.
