Introduction:
Kidnapping is a crime that strikes fear into the hearts of families worldwide. It’s a violation of the most fundamental human rights, tearing loved ones apart and leaving lasting scars. However, what happens when the perpetrators wear badges and operate under the guise of law enforcement? This is the chilling reality that I faced when my son was taken from me by authorities in the State of Arizona.
The Facts of Kidnapping:
Kidnapping, as defined by both state and federal statutes, involves the unlawful transportation, restraint, or confinement of an individual against their will. It’s a grave offense that carries severe penalties, rightfully so given its impact on victims and their families.
State and federal laws provide clear guidelines on what constitutes kidnapping and outline the consequences for those found guilty. These laws are meant to protect individuals from such heinous acts and ensure justice is served.
18 U.S. Code § 1201 – Kidnapping
(a) Whoever unlawfully seizes, confines, inveigles, decoys, kidnaps, abducts, or carries away and holds for ransom or reward or otherwise any person, except in the case of a minor by the parent thereof, when—
(2) any such act against the person is done within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States;
(c) If two or more persons conspire to violate this section and one or more of such persons do any overt act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each shall be punished by imprisonment for any term of years or for life.
The Arizona Incident:
On March 21, 2016, I experienced every parent’s worst nightmare when my 5-year-old son was taken from me by authorities in Arizona. Despite having evidence to the contrary, including proof of proper care and guardianship, my son was unjustly deemed to be in “neglectful” conditions.
Detective Marchele Miller, Detective Christopher Gitsch, Officer Todd Stevens, and Sergeant Heather Howell Maldonado, and the City of Phoenix Police Department, along with individuals from the Arizona Department of Child Safety, conspired to fabricate evidence and unlawfully separate a father from his child. Their actions were not only morally reprehensible but also constituted a blatant violation of my rights as a parent. I have even more substantive documents on the Arizona Department of Child Safety as this State agency, the year prior, was directly involved and responsible for the rape and molestation of over 500 children within state custody and tried to cover up these crimes by threatening anyone of reporting this to the media. The proof of the State changing the name from CPS to DCS indicates and implicates serious wrongdoing and cover-up.
The Cover-Up:
What makes this case even more disturbing is the blatant cover-up orchestrated by those involved. Instead of upholding the law and protecting the innocent, law enforcement officers and child safety officials chose to manipulate documents, fabricate evidence, and conspire against my legal rights.
The irrefutable evidence I possess exposes the extent of their wrongdoing, highlighting a systemic failure within the justice system to hold those in positions of power accountable for their actions. I filed the Motion For Judicial Notice, pursuant to Arizona Rules of Evidence 201, as indicated below, yet NO judge at the Superior Court of Maricopa County has answered this, even though their own state court rules and Arizona Constitution indicate the Court must answer motions in 30 days. It’s 2 years now. The record is the proof.
Seeking Justice:
In the face of such injustice, I am determined to assert my legal, constitutional, and human rights. Armed with undeniable proof of the malicious intent behind my son’s abduction, I am fighting tirelessly to bring those responsible to justice and reunite with my child.
Convention on the Rights of the Child: (United Nations)
SPECIAL NOTE: The United States has not ratified the CRC despite its active role in drafting the treaty.
Article 9
1. States Parties shall ensure that a child shall not be separated from his or her parents against their will, except when competent authorities subject to judicial review determine, in accordance with applicable law and procedures, that such separation is necessary for the best interests of the child.
Conclusion:
My story serves as a sobering reminder of the dark realities of kidnapping, particularly when perpetrated by those entrusted with upholding the law. It underscores the importance of holding individuals and institutions accountable for their actions and fighting for justice in the face of adversity.
As I continue my quest for truth and justice, stand in solidarity with me, hoping for a resolution that brings healing and closure to my family. It’s imperative that we shine a light on cases like his, ensuring that the voices of victims are heard and that the perpetrators of such egregious crimes are held accountable. I will not rest until.
