Virginia Mother Jailed for Talking to Son's Doctors and Reporting Physical Abuse by Father

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 18, 2018 /Christian Newswire/ -- A young mother was jailed Friday for reporting physical abuse of her son by the father to government authorities and for talking to her 10 year old son's therapist and psychiatrist about her medical concerns for her son.

Hard to believe? The court reporter transcripts reveal it all in Cases CJ 14001064 and 14001065 in Alexandria Circuit Court in Virginia. Her attorney is Jonathon Moseley (703) 656-1230.

Judge Lisa Kemler announced in her official decision before a court reporter that she was punishing the mother for making a report of the son's accounts of abuse to government authorities and for talking to her son's doctors, therapist, and psychiatrist.

Natalia Dalton's son told many adults (recorded) that his father physically abused him. She shows her photographs of her own injuries when she says Julio Lacayo beat her.

In November 2017, Natalia took her son to the Magistrate in Alexandria. The son met alone with the Magistrate for 15 minutes.

The Magistrate issued an Emergency Protective Order, ordered the child removed from the father's home, and sent the police to serve the father who was heard screaming in front of the son.

But the father yanked the son out of school the next day, and began to home school him, removed from any adults who could learn about the abuse and report it.

A month ago, a supervised visitation "monitor" Laurie Best appointed by Judge Kemler also reported the son's account of physical abuse to Child Protective Services. Laurie Best testified that in the trial (on the transcript) that what the son volunteered to her triggered her legal mandatory reporting requirements.

Judge Kemler refused to call the son to speak for himself and the father objected to the son being interviewed in chambers by Judge Kemler or to testify.

Natalia Dalton also warned her son's psychiatrist that the son was complaining that psychiatric medication was causing alarming side effects and making him irritable, forgetful, disoriented, and feeling weird.

In the court case, Natalia Dalton was accused and punished for warning the son's prescribing psychiatrist of side effects despite an earlier court order.

Natalia Dalton strongly and flatly denied ever sharing these concerns with her son, but only among adults treating him. There was absolutely no evidence or testimony that the son was affected.

Natalia Dalton is raising money to pay for the transcripts at www.NataliaMom.com.

“There simply must be some reason her actions are being treated the exact opposite they would appear to need to be treated on their face.”

There’s just no way a judge would ever make an incorrect and immoral ruling. Never gonna happen. Yes, it must be something else.

No one dare question doctor’s prescriptions. I did on our child’s on going kidney infection and the doctor wrote a very nasty note in the record and told me she was going to report me. Just for questioning. She didn’t because she knew I knew she was bilking the system having parents, who had private insurance, request welfare assistance for vaccines. Small town so didn’t have much of a choice in doctors.

I used to be in CPS so know exactly how lame judges can be. In your face abuse and they’ll put on blinders time and time again. That judge should have yanked that kid away from the father and interviewed the kid himself. No excuses. Same with illegal aliens.

Hate to say it, but as great as homeschooling can be it can also be a way of removing an abused child from the public’s prying eyes.

Unless I am missing pertinent facts

You're missing pertinent facts. The OP is the lawyer for the woman, and is spamming FR by pasting a news release under "News" thingly disguised as a news article, in a transparent attempt to raise funds for the case. He even shows himself as the author.

Maybe he can fill in the blanks, but then that would be "commenting on a case in progress," right? Just send money!

Or pull the spam thread.

As far as the purpose of the post, I was unawre of it and agree that that purpose should not be used for a FreeRep post.

That said, and like other’s cause for concern, with what facts are known, my negative opinion of the judge is unchanged - no matter is the purpose in how & why the thread was started.

I am in total agreement with you. The hurdle is that the House of Representatives is deliberately using the Judiciary to legislate from the bench laws that the oligarchy wants, but which will lose them their seats if they pass it in Congress. Ditto with most of the agencies Congress created to delegate its authority to the Executive office.

So, to hope that Congress will do anything to hold the judges feet to the fire may be too much to hope for.

I think we need to get real citizen statesmen and women to be the majority of the House members before we will see progress on either of these 2 areas.

Thank you for the clarification.

It hurts that I am so gullible.

“I think we need to get real citizen statesmen and women to be the majority of the House members before we will see progress on either of these 2 areas.”

That will take a pattern of “letting a thousand Trump’s bloom” so an entire Congress would take on the chief driver of the Left’s agenda - the media taking orders from the Left in the deep state and academia, and the media as the virtual media arm of the Left’s agenda. RINOs that cannot and will not stand up to the media will never re-energize the foundations of the republic.

Incorrect. The press release allows only 400 words. We will be posting the court reporter transcripts as they become available. You can see it for yourself.

Congressman Trent Franks introduced legislation year after year to do that, but the rest of Congress didn’t care

The father’s attorney got the EPO dismissed without a hearing the next day — which isn’t legally possible. (They run for 3 days followed by a hearing.) WE still don’t know how that happened.

The mother does not have a history of ever making any such claims, false or otherwise.

She was previously ordered not to talk to her son’s psychiatrist, therapist, or other medical professionals. She reported the son’s adverse side effects from the medication to them.

I am sorry I never knew Trent Franks had been taking positions like mine on the judiciary. I am planning on possibly moving to Arizona - Prescott maybe, and hope if I do I could meet him.

Trent Franks’ prior bills are an excellent starting point.

One of Trent Franks’ main ideas was to take the Constitutional limitation on judges serving “DURING GOOD BEHAVIOR” and having Congress DEFINE what qualifies as “GOOD BEHAVIOR.”

So if judges committed certain wrongs, that would not qualify as good behavior, and they would automatically be removed as judges.

His examples were misconduct — including abusive attitudes toward litigants — that no one could defend as being good behavior.

It says a lot that the cowardly and corrupt establishment showed no interest in Trent Franks’ legislation.

“So if judges committed certain wrongs, that would not qualify as good behavior, and they would automatically be removed as judges.”

I think that is where many in Congress balk, deciding before hand that their fears of getting agreement on exactly which “certain wrongs” and how to define them without wiggle room, will be impossible to obtain, and because of that shirk from the idea without trying.

I think to get to it Congress should decide to not decide, directly, but instead establish a Congressional bipartisan joint commission and the vote that approves the commission is also a vote to accept its decisions. No one will be 100% happy but some progress on it will be better than none.
