You have no clue what you are talking about. SRS 'TOOK' custody of these children (no search warrant, no Miranda rights read, no due process, no regard for U.S. and VT Sumpreme Court rulings, no regard for U.S. and Vermont Constitutions!!!!!!!) BECAUSE the parents decided to homeschool them and KEEP on homeschooling them in spite of the public school failing to teach them anything after having them in their clutches for more than 5 or 6 years!!! If you don't know what you are talking about I suggest you find out the facts or simply shut up!
"Cindy Wade tried to play this as a Christian Homeschooling issue, it is not."
IT IS, pure and simple! People like you have constantly mocked and ridiculed the O'Dells for their religious beliefs. The state of Vermont has denied them their free exercise of their religion and beliefs. You are either so stupid that you believe all the lies you are pushing or you are a vicious person who is deliberately pushing the lies to further your cause.
"This is a custody issue or rather lack of legal custody by O'Dell."
The state of Vermont TOOK custody claiming 'educational neglect' and forced the children BACK into public school after they had enrolled in the state's home study program for 3 years (a yearly process) and were 'approved' by the state. Why, all of a sudden, is Mrs. O'Dell incapable of homeschooling? Because she shut off the cash flow to the public schools by withdrawing her children and sending the school a letter withdrawing her permission for the schools to collect Medicaid funding for her special ed children.
"Patricia O’Dell probably removed the kids from the various fathers’ care. Remember that there are three absent fathers. Mr. Veach is the father of two of the children, Mr. Cameron and Mr. Thompson fathered one child each. Ray O’Dell, Patricia O'Dell's husband, is not the father of any of the children."
LIE! LIE! LIE!!!
Mr. O'Dell is the father of the youngest. He is step-father to the 3 older children and has been for the past 10 years. He is the only kind father figure these children have ever really known. The fathers of the 3 oldest children were and are abusive. They are all worthless men who abused and beat Patricia and the children. Patricia's maiden name is Veach. She gave her maiden name to her children. If the O'Dell's were wealthy they would have gone to court to have Mr. O'Dell legally adopt the 3 oldest children a long time ago. Yes, they did marry 'after' their youngest was born but at least Mr. O'Dell stuck around and took responsibility for his actions. Meanwhile, creeps like you want to condemn him and the whole family. Real neighborly of you, let alone Christian. But hey, I see Christians are a real turn off to you. You'd probably like to see them all fed to the lions.
"This whole thing is a sham. If anybody’s rights have been violated, the fathers’ rights have been violated. The Christian Homeschool angle was used to sucker in the feeble of mind. How does it feel to be used Spiff, Eternal Vigilance and the rest?"
The REAL SHAM here is your LIES!!! This isn't stopping the many kind hearted and informed people from helping this family though. We don't need people like you and we don't want people like you involved with our work.
If anyone cares to monitor a Vermont homeschooling website and hear the nonsense being spouted there by the likes of RGSpincich and others go to
VT-homeschooling@yahoogroups.com.
You'll be amazed at the level of ignorance there, especially what is coming from some homeschoolers themselves. One in particular insists we live in a democracy, NOT A REPUBLIC!!!
Meanwhile, the O'Dell children are being abused in the foster homes. There are photos to prove it! The children ran away on Sunday, October 27 trying to seek help and managed to get away long enough to get their story out.
I hold people like RGSpincich personally responsible for the abuse these children are suffering at the hands of SRS and Vermont state officials because his constant LIES have hurt the O'Dell family more than he could ever know. Sleep well RGSpincich.
A judge orders legal custody after a series of hearings. You're telling stories again. Nothing you say is credible. You lied about about the Maple case being relevant to this one. You lied about the Vermont Supreme Court saying it's okay for homeschooling parents to disregard special education needs for their children. You come up with different sories regarding the O'Dell living arrangements. The oldest and youngest are named Veach the other two are Cameron and Thompson, you claim the youngest is fathered by O'Dell. Since "Veach" is O'Dell's maiden name, the oldest was fathered by Mr. "X"? Oh that's right more sympathy injected here. Poor Patricia was beaten by all her former sperm donors. What a crock.
