Kay Henson (spanking mom) back in WI jail. Freep the heck out of Wisconsin!
CP Prosecutions ^ | July 17-18, 2002 | Various

Posted on 07/19/2002 10:35:43 AM PDT by cherrycapital

(July 17, 2002, Family Advocacy Center)

This is an emergency notification regarding yet another arrest and incarceration of Kay Henson by her probation officer in the Walworth County jail. Kay is on probation because she spanked her ten year old son with her hand and was charged with felony child abuse. Upon the advice of counsel, she pled guilty to simple battery and was placed on probation (yes, she regrets it). PO Eileen has repeatedly violated Kay's probation for specious reasons unrelated to the terms of her probation for the retaliatory purposes of throwing Kay in jail. Kay is nursing her infant daughter, and each time she is incarated, county jail officials refuse to provide her with a breast pump to prevent breast engorgement, mastitis and infection.

It all started when Kay had been contacted by Warner Brothers requesting her appearance on a talk show. PO Haffey vehemently opposed Kay's travel out of Wisconsin as well as Kay's disclosures to the media regarding Ms. Haffey's and CPS abuses of power and wanton disregard for the limits of their authority and the attenant violations of Kay's rights. The most recent incarceration is a direct result of yet another anonymous report of child neglect against Kay alleging her 2 1/2 year old was in the street. Multiple witnesses observed a police officer take the child off of the sidewalk before bringing her to Kay's house and informing her that he had rescued the child from the street.

PO Haffey showed up at Kay's door with a CPS caseworker and insisted that if Kay did not allow the caseworker into her home, that she would consider it a violation of her probation. It was at this point that American Family Advocacy Center director Suzanne Shell was called and participated by telephone. During the 'investigation,' Kay was instructed by the PO that if she did not answer the question, it would be considered a violation of her probation. At this point, Ms. Shell instructed Kay to get her attorney on the phone, and the PO went ballistic and advised Kay that if she did get her attorney on the phone, it would be considered a violation of her probation. Ms. Haffey expressly refused to recognized a properly executed power of attorney appointing Ms. Shell as Kay's agent. After a direct confrontation with Ms. Shell, the PO advised Kay to get her attorney on the phone. (this entire conversation is completely documented on audio tape)

After Kay had responded to questions directly related to the allegation, the caseworker began asking questions related to conducting a risk assessment. Ms. Shell and Kay's attorney stopped that line of questioning. PO Haffey was angry and an appointment was set up for today to complete the interview.

Kay filed a temporary restraining order against her PO and CPS before appearing at that meeting. Kay and Slade have also assigned temporary guardianship of their children and the children have been transported to a secret location for their safety. This has also angered PO Haffey.PO Haffey's response was to have Kay thrown in jail. She has filed a writ of habeas corpus which has not been decided yet. Kay is still in jail and her pain increases as each hour passes.

There are several complaints associated with the most recent incarceration of Kay:

1.Eileen Haffey's unprofessional conduct of overstepping her boundaries by making demands of Kay that are not included in the terms of her probation and outside the defined scope of her duties. (see below)

2. Eileen Haffey's repeated threats of incarceration for specious reasons which constitute continued violations of the rights of Kay Henson and her husband, Slade. (Haffey demanded proof of Slade's earnings or else she would violate Kay's probation.)

3. The refusal of jail personnel to provide Kay with needed medical intervention; specifically a breast pump. The imposition of cruel and unusual punisment by forcing Kay's medical condition to deteriorate to increasingly painful levels without providing the simple and inexpensive treatment to prevent that pain - a breast pump.

4. Eileen Haffey's refusal to honor a properly executed power of attorney without the requisite authority supporting that refusal.

5. Eileen Haffey's unprofessional conduct by allowing her personal feelings for Kay to influence her profession actions.

We encourage interested parties to contact the responsible parties listed below and make their comments:

Leonard Henderson, American Family Rights Association:

I have known Kay Henson for 2 years during her battle with the Wisconsin CPS. Kay has been counseling with Suzanne Shell. Kay is a member of AFRA.

The Emergency Message I put out yesterday for a Temporary Custody form was to GET HER KIDS out of Wisconsin FAST before the big trap snapped.

Kay sent me her documents at 5:23 am July 17, 2002. I have assembled her documents and the email from Suzanne Shell at- http://www.familyrightsassociation.com/members/wisconsin/index.html

I don't know if Kay had opportunity to file these documents before she was arrested.

Please read the documents so you can get a feel for what has been going on. The main thing is Warner Brothers wanted to fly Kay out to California to do a TV show on what Wisconsin has been doing to her. Kay had to get permission from her probation officer. This attack appears to be retribution for Kay's efforts and intent to expose Wisconsin's corruption.

We all need to let Wisconsin know that American Family Rights Association are watching their shenanigans.

We encourage interested parties to contact the responsible parties listed above and make their comments.

Suzanne Shell (Family Advocacy Center), July 18:

Kay called me this morning. She was told that someone could bring in a breast pump for her. Two of her friends tried but were refused. Her upper chest is now red and her breasts do no fit in her nursing bra any more. She has repeatedly requested to see a doctor and been denied. She is now in solitary because she has a 'hair tie' (like a weave) and the demand she removes it from her hair. She is willing but can't do it herself so they are threatening to hold her down and cut her hair off.

Kay is a Messianic Jew and they do not cut their or their children's hair for religious reasons. She is now in solitary and on a hunger strike for their refusal to allow her access to needed medical treatment, for their blatant disregrad of her devoutly held religious beliefs and for her illegal incarceration.

PO Eileen Hagffey has been removed from her case and a new PO (Kathy something) has been assigned. No news on the writ of habeas corpus. Suzanne is out of the office this morning and will return with more information this afternoon. We urge you to contact the Walworth County probation office, the Wisconsin Department of Corrections and the Walworth County jail regarding this atrocity.

The children are still safely hidden and Kay reports that if Slade tells the probation office where they are, Kay will be released. Please show Kay and Slade your support in this trying time.

(Suzanne Shell, Family Advocacy Center, July 18 evening)

Kay is still in jail and has been refused access to a breast pump and a doctor. A doctor even called the jail and advised them that Kay needed a breast pump. AFAC is obtaining an affidavit from that Dr. and from the friends who attempted to provide Kay with a breast pump (Jail officials said it looked like a bomb and refused to give it to Kay)

She was served with the notice of revocation which states the following (paraphrased) reasons:

Violation item 1 of her probation by failing to adequatly supervise 2 1/2 year old Aliyah as evidence by the anonymous report to CPS

Violaiton item 1 of her probation terms- child neglect - inadquate supervision of her children when she allowed them to be placed with persons unknown to her in a location unkown to her. (the location of the children is known to the legal guardian. Kay was not advised of their location in order to protect her)

Violation item 1 of her probations terms - child neglect - by allowing her seven month old nursing daughter to be placed out of her care without adequate assurances that she would be recieving appropriate nutrition. (WHAT HYPOCRACY - They jail her and not allow her to nurse the baby and THAT'S not neglect or abuse?) For those who have commented that perhaps Kay should just cooperate - she was. That is what got her into this predicament. PO Haffey just doesn't like Kay (Yes, Kay is crass and a gut-busting riot but her heart is righteous) and obviously believes it's ok to use her power to hurt Kay, Slade and five innocent children.

Kay has been advised that if Slade is at the home tomorrow with the children, Kay will be released. Those of us who know CPS can reasonably suspect it is a trap to take custody of the children based on the allegations of neglect stated above. At least if Kay fights the revocation of her probation, the state will have to prove these allegations BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. If she wins, it will establish her right to refused entry to CPS agents even though she is on probation. The State of Wisconsin obviously has no qualms about manipulating family relationships to punish a mom who knows her rights.

The Probation office and the jail are quite miffed at the show of support which has been evidenced by your calls, faxes an emails. They are retaliating agianst Kay. We are doucmenting this retaliation. She doesn't want you to stop even though she is facing nine months in jail.

Friday - we must contact the Wisconsin Governor McCallum's office and the media about this abuse of power. Plead for a pardon for Kay or, alternatively, a stay of execution on the revodation of her probation. LET THIS MOTHER GO HOME TO HER CHILDREN. She is not a felon - she is a pastor's wife! She spanked her son, who needed the spanking. Her children need her, and her continued incaration is in direct contradiction to the published goal of probation to strengthen the family. Be sure to give appropriate credit to PO Eileen Haffey for her role in the atrocity.

Advise them we will contact the media - then do it. Call the talk radio show hosts in WI. Contact the newspapers. AFAC will be sending out press releases, too. You all have been wonderful, let's keep the pressure on.

However, this case has a familiar ring to it, doesn't it?

The familiar ring I'm hearing is the mantra, "government is right, government is good, government knows best, OOHHMM, government is right, government is good, government knows best, OOHHMM....."

Another familiar ring is "parents are bad, parents lie, parents should lose their kids and be tossed in jail, OOHHMM....""

Hardly.

What we have here is someone who plead guilty (no one forced her, coerced her or held gun to her head) to battery. Now that she's serving her sentence for the crime she admitted she did, she's whining, crying and kvetching. And she's now moaning and groaning because the taxpayers of Wisconsin--and that includes me-the ones who paid for her lawyer, want their money back. And I'd certainly like to see a copy of the complaint and the pictures her attorney received in discovery. If her advocate saw it, there's no attorney-client privilege to those documents. So where are they?

And we did catch her advocate in one lie--her hubby isn't a preacher. He's a janitor. How many more lies have she and her advocate told? Spin is spin. If you're gullible enough not to see it and smell it, pity for you.

Makes you wonder how humanity survived before breast pumps were invented.

In a land not so far away and not so long ago, parents were actually allowed to raise their own kids, so this was never a problem...

So now term "fundamentlist" is extended to JEWS?

A Messianic Jew is a Jewish person who believes that Yeshua (Jesus) is their Messiah. Some people think that a Jewish person who believes in Jesus is no longer a Jew. But what could possibly be more Jewish than believing in the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua?

Sounds as if the Messianic Jews consider themselves Christians, too.

I agree that manual expression works but I doubt she had the time or the privacy to do so for quite a few hours. These people aren't terribly co-operative. They helped a friend of mine so much that she committed suicide. I was present for several "visits". I've never seen anything like it before.

Jail is not a pretty place to be. It's not supposed to be comfortable or a walk in the park. In fact, the times I've been down at our old jail to notarize papers, the visiting room for inmates is a zoo. Fortunately, I was in the relative privacy of one of the attorney visiting rooms. I haven't had the privilege of visiting the new jail as yet. It's an honor I'd rather pass on.

Um, well, they said "Messianic Jew." My understanding of the term is that it's yet another fundamentalist "Christian" sect that holds church on Saturday and does the whole "Mosaic law" thing.

And fwiw, why can't a Jew be classified as a "fundamentalist"? I think that term can be applied to ANY religious practitioner who exhibits certain traits.

To be sure, the radical Islamists are "fundamentalist Muslims."

No, the "familiar ring" is this is how certain "fundies" choose to operate as soon as their abuse is found out.

Again, I have no clue about this story, but I'm not as ready to jump in automatically on one side as you are.

Most fundamentalist groups like this don't have a "formal" clergy. Clergymen are typically lay, and aren't necessarily paid, or paid very little, for their services.

I knew an elderly gentleman years ago who worked as an engineer by day, and was a fundy Baptist preacher the rest of the time.

That's $6K of the taxpayers money that the county fronted to pay her lawyer

As her and her husband undoubtedly pay taxes themselves, they have already paid a share in her lawyer's bill, not to mention the $14.3 BILLION missing last year from the US Government's "budget", and the $10 TRILLION missing several years ago. And don't forget all of the billions that go to pay for the WOD, for illegal immigrants who are granted "immunity" and go on welfare, and all of the other waste and fraud in the "system"..

I wonder. Is there EVER a case where you think that children might be abused by their parents?

Or does it take the death of a child to determine that to your satisfaction?

the ones who paid for her lawyer, want their money back.

And a substantial bill it is. I've seen PD bills for $1,000. and less. She, and her advisors, must have had her PD file every motion known to mankind to get the bill up over $6,000. Then she pled guilty.

Where is the big push from the advocates to pay her legal expenses? Won't happen because the lack of response will telegraph how irrelevant they are. Just like the Christine bail fund. $76. and holding.

She has seven kids not five (as the advocate states), 15 years old to one year old.

Pamela Gaston- Oregon- A Voice for Children

Since you bring it up...

From A Voice for Children


Will & Melissa Gaston, 1994

    In March 1996, Melissa Gaston, age 5, was literally stolen out of the front yard of the apartment building where she and  her father, Will Gaston, were living.  Silverton police officer Gary Robertson  and Oregon State Housing Authority  employee Shirley Baez, the apartment  manager, acted together to remove  Melissa from her home. In August l996,  Baez was arrested in Guadalahara, Mexico,  for black market child selling, widely reported  in the media. Baez was never prosecuted.

    Melissa was not returned to her father although Will was never charged with any crime. She remained in foster homes where she was raped, burned as a  method of punishment, and, at age 6, a  porn film was made of her by foster  mother Hazel Spees, at the direction of  Larry Lawson, a caseworker for SOSCF  (State of Oregon Services for Children and Families).


The foster mother, not wanting to take the fall and unable to receive in writing that she had been instructed to make the graphic video, wrote a lengthy confession about 30 pages in length. describing frequent events of sexual abuse with Gastons child in her home and re-enacting abuse from previous foster home abuse with the child, including instructing the child sexually and making child pornography with the child in her home.

Will and Pamela Gaston went public with the information they had and went to legislators in Salem for assistance, unable to find accountability in any court to force the return the child.

Will and Pamela filed under the FOIA (Freedom Of Information Act) and received their discovery from the Attorney General's office. Included in the documents was the confession of Hazel Spees, which revealed State- sponsored child pornography, the grooming of Melissa for sexual abuse, and the evidence and the order of judge Joe Ochoa concealing child pornography and the description of the porn film.

The Gastons printed the confession in their newspaper, A Voice For Children, and organized a rally in front of the public school where Hazel Spees was a first grade teacher (Ms. Spees still teaches young children at the same public school in Monitor, Oregon). There, during school hours, they handed out copies of their newspaper.

The Gastons were charged with stalking according to the "broadened" new definition created by Kevin Mannix to use against court advocates and whistleblowers and call exposing state agents "stalking". . Other charges followed until the state of Oregon had brought 12 individual cases against them.

The Gastons counter sued under the RICO act. Pamela Gaston, stepmother of Melissa, became her own attorney/lawyer, Sui Juris, and has subsequently fought in court many times, calling to the witness stand judges, prosecuting attorneys, social workers, and other public officials, questioning and cross-examining them with penetrating insight and fervent determination, to make a record of fraud, corruption, conspiracy, racketeering and other crimes. She has filed suits naming unelected and elected officials up to and including Governor Kitzhaber. She is undaunted and masterful in the courtroom, even when arrayed by the state of Oregon in shackles and chains.


Pamela in shackles cross-examining the prosecutor.
Notice the 3 sheriff's deputies milling around her.
 

                         Melissa 1996
Melissa, now 9, has disappeared into the system.

In spite of the fact that Pamela has proven beyond any reasonable doubt--repeatedly--a long string of impeachable offenses against these officials, nothing happens. Melissa doesn't come back, corrupt officials don't go to jail, prosecutors won't prosecute anyone but the Gastons and their supporters, and the mainstream media won't report it.

Pamela continues to fight in the courts exposing corruption and relentlessly discrediting  the powerbrokers in their own courtrooms. What follows are the details of what has occurred so far as a result of Gastons determined efforts to bring to light what is now seen to be a huge racketeering operation, exploiting the rights, interests, money and lives of the People .

The purpose of this website is to teach and encourage others to go into a court exercising their Inherent Rights, Their Birthright,  Sui Juris, given by God, not a legislature or judge.  To go into a courtroom  not as a slave but as a King or Queen, as the Bill of Rights guarantees your Rights are to be protected.  To understand the deceptions and not be exploited by Bar members profiting from feeding you to the rendering machine in that courtroom, who are bleeding you and yours of everything you have and may ever have, completely without law.

Americans nationwide are losing their children, their lands, and their possessions to corrupt government officials. The information on this website is provided to help us, Americans, exercise and restore our rights.  Our friend and advocate William Mayhar says it well "there are only three ways you lose Inherent Rights.  By Agreement.  By Contract.  By Force.

You agree to give over your rights by agreement when you do not know what your rights are and are deceived.  You sign a contract to volunteer your Inherent Rights away when you do not understand that everything is a contract, and again you are being deceived.  And when you learn about the deception, and say NO, that you do not agree or volunteer to waiver your Inherent Rights, then the aggressor must use brute force to strip you and restrain and render you involuntarily".  The "administrative law judge" with no constitutional oath in the "quasi-judicial administrative proceeding" in the corporate court will do just that, never answering what jurisdiction you are in.  While the legislature writes more and more rules in the corporate interest to profit from this fraud and deprivation of rights.

The whole facade is based on the deception of  "implied consent", when in fact, there is no contract, authority or law in the actions of the "court". In fact,  the Human is the only one who can possess or exercise Inherent Rights, can sign a contract, can own allodial property, can bear children or authentically exist.  The fictitious "state" is not a human, does not own our children, own our allodial titles to our land and property, cannot contract, cannot compel contracts, does not own our cars and our roads and waterways or have any authority to restrict the lives of Freeborn Natural Persons who have committed no crime.  The undisputed Records in the Gastons cases have created a breach in the fabricated "rule of law" used by bar members and legislators to deceive the Public.  No human injured party, no human victim, there is  no "crime", and most of the system is being operated by exploiting "offenders" and "violators", also "debtors" who have not committed any crime at all.   There are no "crimes against the state", and no DA or bar member has any authority to make any claim in the "name of the state".   Sui Juris comes back to what is real - human to human, and Courts of Justice, Courts of Evidence an authentic search for TRUTH, and an honest standard of Lawful Judicial Due Process to deal with REAL crime.

The ongoing Gaston case has now broadened as the state and city have brought more than thirty  cases, five jury trials, one trial without a jury, countless hearings, multiple arrests and incarcerations since l998. Now, in 2002, the state has not only stolen and abused Melissa, but has severed Pamela Gastons family, and most recently after a year of schemes and judicial set ups, have stolen Gastons 22 year home in Mt Angel.   The aggressions of the state and city are an ongoing attempt to protect a criminal enterprise for profit that has been exposed in Gastons air tight Record of Credible Evidence.  Every trial and sworn affidavit of Gastons for five years has been undisputed and unrebutted.  This testimony has  now become fact and truth in the court, establishing a body of evidence of fraud,  retaliation and cover up, deprivation of rights and systemic corruption of the courts and agents of the state in the Record.   Gastons continue to be attacked, as are more innocent people along with them.

The growing awareness of Violations of the Public Trust are moving the People to exercise their Inherent Authority in Oregon to "amend, alter or abolish" dangerous and unlawful "rules", restore Constitutional Judicial Due Process, the Law, in the Oregon Court system under a lawful oath and no more deception of Bar members enslaving and exploiting  Freeborn Natural People.

Will Gaston says that when Melissa comes home, 20,000 other children in Oregon come home who have also been  removed from their families without Law, particularly in the last ten or fifteen years as the agency has expanded its vulturous "outreach" programs under the "Oregon Shines/Benchmarks Goals 2000 agenda, now called the Oregon Children's Plan, children who are being rendered in the child abuse for profit industry in Oregon at this time.

Please check back often for new information, and write to us: avoice@mtangel.net
We are doing all we can to restore Law, Values, Constitutional Courts and accountability in Oregon.

If this was a lawyer in private practice appointed through the Public Defender's office, his bill would be substantially lower because the lawyers have to abide by the PD billing guidelines. I suspect that this was a lawyer in private practice appointed by the court because she didn't qualify for a PD, but claimed she either couldn't find a lawyer or didn't have enough money for the retainer and fees. If that's the case, the lawyer bills to the county (I'm thinking in the range of $60-$70 an hour, but it could be more), the county pays him and the defendant is assessed the costs. Repayment of those fees to the county is a condition of probation.

I'm thinking the guy billed for a lot of hours for a misdemeanor plea bargain.

Camo fatigues, a bible, and a sense of absolute persecution by the federal government, state government, couty government, the school board, the utility companies, most churches, the business world, the Illuminat, the men in black, and the neighbor's dog is all they need to get through the pathetic failures that pass for their lives.

Is your long winded diatribe against FREEPERS in general, or just those who have kids?

But what could possibly be more Jewish than believing in the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua?

That isn't what I meant. By using the term "fundamentalist", one conjurs up an image of a Bible thumping evangelist who takes every word of the Bible literally. Being a Christian or believing in the existance of Yeshua does not make one a fundamentalist.

The meaning of "fundamentalist" in relation to religion is "one who takes their holy book literally"..

As literal interpretations of the Bible would cause one to go forth and evangelize, that is what true Christian fundamentalists do.

Is that the trait you were referring to? Or are you referring to something else? What would a "fundamentalist" Jew do?
