Kay Henson (spanking mom) back in WI jail. Freep the heck out of Wisconsin!

(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.

Hmmm, someone's gotten awfully quiet.

I do have more important things to do than to post on FR 24/7 like some people.

FormerLurker, if you need some help, sometimes the appellate case number is called a docket number. All you have to do is ask the Gastons for their appellate case number or appellate docket number and we can look it up for ourselves at the 9th Circuit website.

A) I am not in touch with the Gastons, nor do I know them personally.
B) After viewing the 9th Circuit website, I only see opinions, not upcoming cases or Notices of Appeal. I doubt that you can look up a Notice of Appeal from that site.

Now if you can show us an example of how you'd look up a Notice of Appeal at that website, why don't you go ahead and do so, along with the appropriate links so that we can check it out...

You must sign up for the PACER Service.

Selecting a case returns a case summary which includes the short title, nature of suit, district of origin, lower court docket number, lower court judge and the latest docket entries. You can then view the full docket and, if available, the Opinion.

The following is all that I could find at the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Pacer Site.

I finally got further into the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals PACER site. Found two cases by the Gastons. The cases have been denied/dismissed and are no longer active. That's probably why they didn't show up before. Since Gastons stated that all their cases were pending at the 9th, guess they lose. On all accounts. No multi-million dollar suit against the State of Oregon, no relief from Spees judgment against them, no review of parental rights. Nada.

Looks like the cases may have been consolidated at some point and procedurally dismissed. The Gastons,authors of the book on how to legally defend yourself, did not file the proper papers within the legal time period. A district court had also denied a Certificate of Appealability prior to the 9th's actions.

[FormerLurker]

I've never said the Gastons were legal eagles. IF they could have found a GOOD lawyer to represent them, they (and their daughter Melissa) might have had a chance.

This is really too bad as this case should have been heard, and it should have been presented correctly by a competent attorney.

Again, my primary concern is for the little girl, and I sincerly hope that things turn out for the best for her. There really should be some way for this family to get justice if they are in fact telling the truth..

[Catspaw]

Yup, that's what I was looking for--the briefing schedule, etc.

These cases are DOA. And because they didn't file the notice(s) of appeal in time, that time has expired as well. They can't refile or they'll be broomed out of court faster than these cases.

So much for the millions. They ain't gettin' any.

As far as procedure goes, all they would've had to have done is get a copy of FRAP (they're on line) and copy with the schedule the Appellate court set out & hit the law library or findlaw, but of course they didn't.

No excuses for them, but of course, the excuses are going to be made, aren't they :-))

[RGSpincich]

the excuses are going to be made, aren't they :-))

It's hard to argue that they were denied decent legal help when they profess to be experts in the court system.

[Catspaw]

LOL! I forgot that they're published authors on people accessing the courts. Too bad they didn't read their own book. But the better one is FRAP (Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure).

I shall go snickering off into the night :-))

[gnarledmaw]

"their refusal to allow her access to needed medical treatment"

Thats Wisconsin SOP. The bastards killed one of my relatives the same way.

[truthlover41]

Kay Henson is in jail again as we speak. The first time the father agreed to let authorities know where the children were at. They have arrested her again. The children are here in Arkansas observing the Feast of Tabernacles(10/21 through 10/28) with their father. For all the sceptics out there I have observed Slade Henson as a father in the last few days. He is one of the most caring individuals I know when it comes to caring for his children. Believe it or not this is a trumpt up charge of an ex-husband and father who is a felon,convicted of child molestation, and drug charges, giving instructions to his son how to get his ex-wife the boy's mother in trouble with the authorities. He told his son to get Kay to discipline him as she did with her hand, then to go out and have some of his buddies he plays with to put a 2 X 4 on the son's behind. The son did this not realizing his mother would go to jail. The son has told the mother Kay, step Father, Slade and the authorities this.The medical doctor in the case colaborates this yet the charges Kay agreed to after the public defenders office told her to take the deal and plead guilty or they would not defend her, are not dropped. Then the judge when he sentenced her ordered her to pay $6000.00 to the public defenders office which refused to aduaquately defend her! Kay is a stay at home mom which has no income and is not able to pay anyone anything. Kay is in jail today because they consider her lack of ability to pay a violation of her probation.

Kay's two petitions for habeus corpus in this case have been turned down and we are continuing to pray and plead with public officials to get justice in this case.

Kay has lost the custody of her two older children to the ex-husband/father who is a convicted child molester and drug convict, because of her religeous beliefs concerning keeping the sabbath, the Feast of Leviticus 23 and wearing of certain articles of clothing which the judge says makes her unfit to parent these children. The judge allowed these belief to be mocked publically in his courtroom.

I believe in law and order as much as anyone but this is a case that needs the public's attention because if they get away with this you and your family could be next. There needs to be an outcry from all over this nation that the Senators, Kohl and Finegold as well as the Governor, Scott McCallum, of Wisconsin(http:/www.wisgov.state.wi.us/contact.asp) can't ignore.

No parent is perfect as I am sure that Kay may not be but to punish someone this way is unjust. To not allow someone to defend themselves and charge them for this is so unjust it should cause all of us to do whatever we can to help this mother be re-united with her children and husband.

For all the sceptics out there; this is the truth and whether you want to believe it or not.
