Pt: II- Lie vs Fact Check: Is Barry Goldstein Presenting Himself as a Family Law Attorney?

 

Suspended from the practice of law, is Barry Goldstein representing himself as an attorney to sell #TheQuincySolution? #StopAbuseCampaign

In Part I,”Lie vs. Fact Check: Barry Goldstein Lawyer (Cancel the Cabal)” http://abusiveadvocates.com/2014/10/19/barry-goldstein-cancel-the-cabal

ATW shared screenshots and comments from Barry’s first appearance on “Cancel the Cabal”  where Barry was advertised as a “child advocate lawyer”.  And as “Mother’s Advocate” and “Child Advocate Lawyer”. 

ATW also shared a screenshot of Maria Bauer Melinn, offering the services of Barry Goldstein to a mother in need of legal help...http://abusiveadvocates.com/2013/11/07/maria-bauer-melinn-advise-for-moms-in-court-benadryl/

 

Here are other examples where Barry again seems to advertise or imply that he is an attorney…

 

From an Amazon advertisement, “The Quincy Solution Barry Goldstein” http://www.amazon.com/The-Quincy-Solution-Barry-Goldstein/dp/1934759864

Quote: “Barry Goldstein has practiced law in New York since 1978…many domestic violence agencies have referred clients to Mr. Goldstein because he is one of the few lawyers with expertise in domestic violence and because of willingness take cases on a pro bono or reduced fee basis…”

 

Also, the words of Claudine Dombrowski, American Mothers Political Party (AMPP) also imply that Barry is representing himself as an attorney…

Claudine says about Barry Goldstein offering legal assistance to mothers seeking help, “There is no legal resources or venue through Lundy or PMA, anytime a mother asks for his expert assistance or resources for legal the mothers are quickly shut out ignored. .. Has he or PMA helped any mother? No… Who has? ..Barry Goldstein is one such person. He has tried he continues to assist he knows that we–Mothers need strategy, legal representation, he steadfastly goes with the flow..”

What do Claudine’s comments about Barry mean? According to Claudine a change is needed in the Mother’s Movement, it should be torn down completely, and she will lead these efforts, along with her hand selected allies, which includes Barry Goldstein. Tearing down the Mother’s Movement means attacking and forcibly removing advocates, professionals and even abuse victims who stand in the way.   For more information about this screenshot, and the meaning behind it, please visit: “Abusers in the Mother’s Movement Pt. II Barry Goldstein & AMPP, Claudine Dombrowski” http://abusiveadvocates.com/2014/01/03/abusers-mothers-movement-pt-2-goldstein-dombrowski/

Let’s be very clear…Barry Goldstein is NOT a licensed attorney. When Barry did attempt to get his law license reinstated, it was denied. According to the terms of the disciplinary action taken against him, Barry Goldstein cannot give legal advice, cannot offer legal strategy and cannot take on legal cases in the capacity of an attorney pro bono or not.

Disciplinary proceeding instituted by the Grievance Committee for the Ninth Judicial District:(December 30, 2008, MATTER OF GOLDSTEIN, BARRY L.)

ORDERED that the respondent Barry L. Goldstein, is suspended from the practice of law for a period of five years, commencing January 30, 2009, and continuing until further order of this Court, with leave to the respondent to apply for reinstatement no sooner than six months prior to the expiration of the said period of five years upon furnishing
satisfactory proof that during the said period he
(1) refrained from practicing or attempting to practice law;
(2) fully complied with this order and with the terms and provisions of the written rules governing the conduct of disbarred, suspended, and resigned attorneys (see 22 NYCRR 691.10);
(3) complied with the applicable continuing legal education requirements of 22 NYCRR 691.11(c); and
(4) otherwise properly conducted himself; and it is further, ORDERED that pursuant to Judiciary Law §90, effective immediately, Barry L. Goldstein, is commanded to desist and refrain from
(1) practicing law in any form, either as principal or agent, clerk, or employee of another,
(2) appearing as an attorney or counselor-at-law before any court, Judge, Justice, board, commission, or other public authority,
(3) giving to another an opinion as to the law or its application or any advice in relation thereto, and
(4) holding himself out in any way as an attorney and counselor-at-law….

The Ninth Judicial District included in the findings that, We find the respondent’s utter failure to appreciate the fact that his conduct exceeded the bounds of propriety as a courtroom advocate, his complete lack of remorse, and the pervasive nature of his deceptive conduct to be aggravating factors…”

If Barry is not being honest about the status of his revoked law license, and in the past decisions of the Ninth Judicial District found Barry to be “dishonest” …how are to trust The Quincy Solution?

Lie vs. Fact Check: Barry Goldstein Lawyer (Cancel the Cabal)

Lie vs. Fact Check Intro:

As we meander down this truth seeking path together, there are some lies so outrageous that you have to see it to believe it. We at A.T.W. are all for exposing the Lies vs. Fact Check.

This is how it will go:

1) We will quote the lie, and post the source it came from.
2) This will be immediately be followed by a quote of the facts, with proof

 

THE LIE:

1) Barry Goldstein is a “Child advocate Lawyer”, intro

2) Barry Goldstein is a “Mother’s Advocate” and “Child Advocate Lawyer” 2:03. Barry does not refute this initial statement.

3) Gill Trebilcock says “Barry is an attorney from America who is influence very strongly by alot of feminists..” at 2:18. Then goes on to explain “At the moment Barry is not an attorney, because he took on a judge for being unfair. So he is taking a year off. So at the moment he describes himself as no longer an attorney but a good guy.”

The Truth:

1) Barry Goldstein is NOT a licensed attorney. For more information on why Barry’s law license was revoked, plz read http://abusiveadvocates.com/2014/04/04/barry-goldstein-goat-advocate/

2) Barry Goldstein’s law license has been suspended, he is not merely “taking a year off”. Barry made an appeal to re-instate his law license, which was denied.

In 2007, Barry Goldstein was brought up on 29 charges of professional misconduct by the Grievance Committee for the Ninth Judicial District, only 8 charges were dismissed. Some of the charges involve Barry mishandling client funds while representing a non-profit organization, including transferring money in/out of accounts and failing to maintain a separate escrow for the organization he represented.
Barry was also found to have engaged in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation in a family court case he was representing. Also considered in the disciplinary action against Barry, We find the respondent’s utter failure to appreciate the fact that his conduct exceeded the bounds of propriety as a courtroom advocate, his complete lack of remorse, and the pervasive nature of his deceptive conduct to be aggravating factors…”

Barry’s law license was suspended for 5 years, and has not been reinstated. Barry attempted to get his law license reinstated, which was denied.

Further, “ORDERED that pursuant to Judiciary Law §90, effective immediately, Barry L Goldstein, is commanded to desist and refrain from …(4) holding himself out in any way as an attorney and counselor-at-law..”

http://www.courts.state.ny.us/courts/ad2/calendar/webcal/decisions/2008/D21742.pdf

Maybe Cancel the Cabal should have read this Facebook post from Barry before making any claims that he is a “Child advocate Lawyer” or “just taking a year off”…these false assertions are only a dream!

Interesting enough, if you go to the Cancel the Cabal website, they do not name Barry as an attorney. You only see that title on the YouTube posted video. Hmmmm

Is this just a fluke? Consider the words of Maria Melinn, offering the services of Barry Goldstein to a mother in need of legal help...http://abusiveadvocates.com/2013/11/07/maria-bauer-melinn-advise-for-moms-in-court-benadryl/

Maria says, “I will talk with you about strategy etc. in the courtroom..we will work on how to handle cross examination… I am sure Barry will also talk to you about strategy too.”

Barry is prohibited from giving legal advise pursuant to Judiciary Law §90, which clearly states that Barry cannot talk strategy as Maria suggests“(3) giving to another an opinion as to the law or its application or any advice in relation thereto..”

Why would Barry attempt to offer help to mothers in family court, or anyone else for that matter?? Because Barry charges astronomical  fees working as a  paid expert witness….and expert witnesses are not subject to oversight by his peers and are not restricted by the previous disciplinary. Barry’s fees range from $100-$10,000. http://barrygoldstein.net/services/expert-witness

 This means all the money you will save implementing The Quincy Solution will then be funneled into Barry’s own services, and those in his inner circle of professional colleagues! Because Barry has set himself, and his inner circle, up as a paid expert with a permanent job in the new system he created.

 

 

 

Maria Bauer Melinn Rewrites History: Inserts Herself into Suffrage Movement & More

“A mother can not stop fighting for the safety of her children, nor can a protective father or grandparent!!!!” – Maria Bauer Melinn

 

A History of the World According to Maria Bauer Melinn…

 

CHAPTER 1: Maria becomes QUEEN.

According to male admirer Babuhai Patel, “The best girl in the entire facebook is her highness Maria.”

 

Abdul Raoof Mughal:“You belong in Bollywood films..”

MariaNWP2

CHAPTER 2: Maria inserts herself into the Women’s Suffrage Movement, highjacks the name of a legitimate organization, the National Women’s Party, and then. uses it for her own selfish purposes. Maria compares herself to Susan B. Anthony and other notable women, inserting herself into the spotlight of women’s history.

Let’s be clear, Maria stole the National Women’s Party’s name, historical images, and written descriptions of its history and leaders then made this significant organization that has contributed to increasing the rights and equality of women, ALL ABOUT HERSELF!

 

CHAPTER 3: Maria compares herself to Anne Frank: http://thekcajapreview.blogspot.com/2013/12/maria-melinn-compared-herself-to-ann.html

 

Anne Frank was a teenager who was murdered in the Holocaust, perishing in a concentration camp with her sister—and most of her family. If Maria does not have respect for Anne’s memory, and how the Frank family has chosen to honor Anne’s life—then how can Maria be trusted to advocate for anyone else or protect her own children?

 

CHAPTER 4: March 2012, Maria becomes president of the American Mothers Political Party (AMPP), an organization created by fellow narcissists who strive to be the center of attention, attempting to alter reality if necessary.

Just two examples, Lorraine Tipton aka Mama Liberty compares herself to a gun toting Statute of Liberty.

Lorraine Tipton imagines herself to be a gun toting “Mama Liberty”

 

And Claudine Dombrowski has rewritten the Wizard of Oz to give herself a starring role in it.

 

Chapter… Do you really want another chapter? History repeats itself until we learn from its mistakes.

 

Look at the pattern of Maria’s actions; that proves she has a strong need to seek attention without any remorse for using people or hurting people in the process. She even goes so far to steal historical names and the identity of historical figures to feed her own ego. And yet so many people come to Maria, and the others like her for help—Claudine, Lorraine, AMPP, Abused Swan and Mothers of Lost Children (MOLC) etc.

What can be learned from this?

*If you have a history of abuse or trauma, you could be vulnerable to attracting other abusers into your life while missing the red flags. This does NOT mean that you are a bad person but that abuse has left its mark on you, and you must be more diligent in educating yourself or seeking support to protect yourself.

*Just because someone portrays themselves as an “advocate” does not make them one. And just because an advocate is a female does not mean she is a trustworthy person. Abusers can be male or female, come from all backgrounds and cultures, and are skilled at manipulation to hide who they really are. You have to look at actions and patterns of behavior to determine if a person can be trusted.

*For more tips on how to protect yourself, and what red flags to look for to detect abuse, here are some links that may be helpful:

 

Advocate Qualities and Choosing the Correct One for You: http://www.iidc.indiana.edu/?pageId=376

This link  above includes child disability advocacy for  schools, but there are some helpful tips that could apply to advocacy in general, including family court advocacy, such as:

How long has this person been involved in advocacy?

Does this person understand YOU, YOUR child and YOU and YOUR child’s needs?

Will this person be sensitive to the fact that YOU have the ultimate final decision making power?

Can this person be objective? What evidence is there of this fact?

Can this person maintain a professional demeanor?

Does this person seek win-win solutions?

Does this person understand his/her professional limits?

What references are available and what is the reputation of this advocate?

 

Narcissism on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism

A 2012 popular book on power-hungry narcissists suggests that narcissists typically display most, and sometimes all, of the following traits:[7]

Maria Bauer Melinn: Advise for Moms in court: Benadryl!

mmbenadryl[1]

Maria Bauer Melinn reveals her strategy for abused women dealing with traumatic family court procedures: Benadryl! Is Maria qualified to give medical or legal advise? Nope!

Read more on Maria’s latest exploits…

How Sick and Disabled is Maria Bauer Melinn??
Maria wants us to believe that she is so disabled, and debilitated with life-threatening heart problems that it is impossible for her to serve any time in jail–and this punishment for contempt may endanger her life. Maria has even posted pictures of herself online, showing that she is in a hospital with heart monitors taped to her chest, her face devoid of its usual flirtations. With the last of her failing strength, Maria lifts the cell phone and pushes a button.., snap! snap! A selfie reveals one last valiant stand against “injustice”.

And in a snap, everything can change– but look at this  screen shot, Maria is commenting to another mother who is pro se in a family court matter, offering help. Maria says that she is able to “call a DV shelter on Monday” before she goes to jail. Maria is acting as an advocate and willing to “talk about strategy”.

If Maria is strong enough and of sound mind so that she is able to advocate for other moms, and is able work with other domestic violence organizations in order to “help” another mom with a very difficult and time consuming family court situation… then her claims of being so sick to the point of death are highly suspect.

Maria Melinn Broke Back on Motorcyle http://abusiveadvocates.com/2013/09/23/maria-bauer-melinn-broke-back-motorcycle/

Maria’s Advice to Moms in Family Court: Take Benadryl!
This mom is pouring her heart out online, giving very sensitive and personal details about her family court situation, which are now made public due to her disclosures. Maria is encouraging this mom to keep talking, and to go public–with little regard for this mom’s safety or privacy, and the possible implications for revealing so much.

Maria’s advice to help this mom cope in family court: “Many Moms find Benadryl helps on court days..”

Possible side effects of Benadryl include: Drowsiness, Dizziness, Mood Swings, Blurred Vision, Confusion and Irregular or Fast Heartbeat. Allergic reactions to Benadryl can cause seizures, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face/tongue and severe dizziness.
http://www.webmd.com/drugs/drug-5680-Benadryl+Oral.aspx

What would happen if a mom actually took Maria’s advice and popped some Benadryl right before going into family court, especially a mom who is pro se or acting as her own attorney? Would it look good before the judge if the mom was falling asleep…if she had a sudden change in mood that affected her ability to represent herself…if her tongue swelled and she could not speak for herself in court or even breathe…..if she got dizzy or confused? Or what if the Mom had a drug interaction related to Benadryl and a medication she was already taking? How would the abuser to react to that? How would the Judge respond, the Guardian ad Litem or other court professionals?

ATW finds it alarming, and frankly irresponsible for Maria–who has NO MEDICAL TRAINING and is not a licensed medical provider– to suggest Benadryl to anyone, even worse a vulnerable mom desperate for help. Maria’s advice could potentially 1) endanger the health of a mom taking her advise and 2) have a severe and negative impact on her court case–and the relationship she has with her children if she appears to be impaired or drugged, or is unable to represent herself due to the effects of Benadryl.

Did Benadryl Contribute to Maria’s Heart Problems?
ATW can only speculate, until we have proof, but Maria’s suggestion to take Benadryl, makes you wonder if Maria is also taking Benadryl to cope with her clegal issues. One of the side effects of Benadryl is fast or irregular heartbeat, and once ingested Benadryl is almost impossible to trace.

From a report on Maria:”Domestic violence victim Maria Melinn, an ethnic Hebrew-American (genealogically verified), was subjected to these abuses, in violation of her ADA orders, right here in Allegan County, Michigan this month. She has been denied most of her heart and cholesterol medications by the Jail’s medical staff during the first 6 days of her 60-day unlawful detainment, as well as her physician-mandated mattress, wheelchair, heart monitor (via denial of the charging cord for the unit’s receiver), and physical therapy sessions for her back..As a direct result, Ms. Melinn has had 2 cardiac incidents after only 6 days under these conditions. She had a severe episode of chest pain, angina, and tachycardia on the 3rd day of her unlawful detainment, and another cardiac event on day 6. She was admitted into the progressive intensive care unit of the hospital that evening with severe chest pain and other cardiac symptoms. Her condition was able to be stabilized after nearly 24 hours of in-patient care.”
http://allegancountylegaldocs.wordpress.com/tag/maria-melinn/

Benadryl could pose a risk to Maria’s health.. so why would she advise it to someone else?

Maria Implicates Barry Goldstein
Maria goes on to offer her unprofessional and uneducated legal assistance to this mom. Keep in mind that Maria has no legal training, no law degree and a majority of her “advocacy” training was given by the disgraced American Mothers Political Party (AMPP), where Maria once was president. AMPP has been recently exposed for their criminal acts of stalking, harassment and defammation. Their leader, Claudine Dombrowski, is facing criminal charges and has a protective order filed against her (other evidence suggests that Claudine is a serial stalker with a long history of harassment towards others).

Maria implicates Barry Goldstein as being a partner in offering advocacy services for abused women in court, whether this is true or not cannot be validated–but that Maria would use his name so publicly, and so freely could only mean they share a close relationship–or that Maria wishes they had one.

Maria states, “I will talk with you about strategy etc. in the courtroom”
Maria then goes on to offer up the services of Barry Goldstein: “we will work on how to handle cross examination… I am sure Barry will also talk to you about strategy too.”
Barry Goldstein is a former attorney now working as a domestic violence advocate, speaker and author. He does not have a current law license and cannot legally give any legal advise.
Common sense says there is only two ways to look at Maria’s implication of Barry:
1) Maria is dropping Barry’s name to give herself credibility, and to bolster her image as an advocate. And Barry may not be involved or is not aware of her remarks.
2) Barry is actively working with Maria–and the organizations she represents.
Either way this kind of advice presents a real danger for any protective mom who may be fooled into believing that Maria is a qualified advocate, and especially a danger that this advice may be used in court and jeopardize a mom’s case, and her custody/visitation.

 

Maria Bauer Melinn Continues to Exploit her Kids: New Video

Maria Bauer Melinn has launched another exploitive publicity stunt, using her youngest child as bait in her relentless pursuit for attention. In this latest video, Damon Moelter is sending a personal message to Maria’s youngest son.

Damon has been through a very difficult life so far, it is understandable that when invited to advocate for a child in a similar circumstance, he would have a hard time refusing a request, and may even feel a responsibility to speak out. We would hope that adults that are around Damon would try to create, and encourage him, to have a fresh start with his life from this point forward. We would also hope those same adults would be sensitive to his triggers, and possible re-traumatization by exposing or placing Damon in situations where he may be held back from having that fresh start.

Children Exploited by Publicity Seeking Maria

Maria continues to exploit all her children in a public forum revealing their identities and showing a lack of concern about their safety or privacy. Even worse, knowing that this unwanted attention greatly traumatized one of her older children–why would Maria continue on the same course, and put her youngest at risk?

Maria claims to be a victim of abuse, and she will tell you that she is putting this information all over the internet and elsewhere to protect her children. But what is a protective mother, REALLY?? The instinct of a protective mother would be to protect her child from any potential harm, exposure or ridicule. Also, it is a standard cultural rule that minor children are protected by surrounding adults in any given situation, that especially their identity and the use of the minor’s image is shielded from any potentially damaging exposure or attention. Any advocacy group should do the sameand be trained to safeguard the privacy and safety of a child, and to take actions or report if a child is at risk.

Video Suggests Support from Safe Kids International

Obviously, Maria did not create this video on her ownshe is likely being supported by Safe Kids International. Damon Moelter is a survivor of family court, who went on the run to avoid living with his abusive biological father and then married at age 16 to become an emancipated adult. Damon’s mother, Cindy Dumas, is the founder of Safe Kids International. It is unreasonable to think this statement was given without the consent or help of Safe Kids International, not to mention the planning and organization need to produce and publish such a video.

Did Safe Kids International do any fact checking before asking Damon to do this video? It was not too long ago that Maria and sidekick Deanna Tarrow Kloostra created another YouTube video featuring this same child, pressuring him into making abuse allegations against his biological father. The video generated so many complaints that it was eventually taken off the web–but not before Maria passed it around, and to several other advocacy organizations. Though the video was removed, it lingers in the minds of those who saw it or heard of it–and this child’s safety and privacy was greatly compromised. Any organization needs to be extremely careful when endorsing anyone to be sure that who they are endorsing is credible.

And look at Maria’s YouTube profile picture next to this video, she strikes a seductive pose with her blouse unbuttoned low and sucking on one finger..is this the representative Safe Kids wants for their organization? To portray a protective mom?

Maria: Protege of American Mothers Political Party (AMPP)


Maria has learned well the art of exploitation, and making a public spectacle of herself. Maria is a protege and former president of the disgraced American Mothers Political Party (AMPP). AMPP is abuse advocacy group who claims to be helping protective mothers but whose tactics have shown them to be abusers in disguise. In the name of “advocacy” AMPP has stalked, threatened, harassed and started a campaign of online bullying against court officials as well as fellow advocates and professionals, and other protective moms. AMPP is known for publicizing the stories of protective moms who come to them for help–not only do they encourage moms to go public with very sensitive details of their case but also encourage moms to attack the court officials involved in it. Or anyone they view as an “enemy”. Claudine Dombrowski, co-founder of AMPP, incited a lot of publicity surrounding her own case, often to the detriment of her minor child whose identity and privacy has been completely taken over by her publicity seeking mother. Claudine is now facing criminal charges and has a protective order issued against her due to her criminal behavior–done in the name of advocacy.

Maria is also the motorcycle gal pal of Deanna Tarrow Kloostra, also an AMPP member, and founder of advocacy group Abused Swan. Deanna helped Maria post a video of her youngest son, in which the child was coerced and pressured into making abuse allegations against his biological father. As a result of this video, AMPP supposedly broke ties with Maria but many of its members–as well as other organizations in the Mother’s Movement–continue to work with Maria as well as Deanna Tarrow Kloostra and show support to Abused Swan and her Family Court Workbook.

Maria Bauer Melinn Broke Back on Motorcycle

BROKE BACK MOTORCYCLE

Starring Maria Bauer Melinn (as herself) & Deanna Tarrow Kloostra (as the politician who wet her pants)

Besties Deanna & Maria havin' fun on motorcycles - Where is the wheelchair??

Plot: Celebrity Victim Maria Bauer Melinn weaves a sad tale of having her back broken by her abusive ex, and demands special treatment…including a hot rod wheelchair.

Maria is embraced by the Mother’s Movement, who ignores the glaring evidence that her story doesn’t add up. Maria is paraded around Mothers of Lost Children, as a symbol of what is wrong with the courts. …Or has Maria become a symbol of the dysfunction within the Mother’s Movement, that abusive advocates are hiding in their ranks, claiming to be victims to gain attention and serve their own selfish agenda?

NEW photos deepen the controversy…is Maria a victim or a fraud? See for yourself…

SCENE 1: Mothers of Lost Children Vigil, Washington D.C.

On a shady street, a motorcycle zooms past, a group of women wearing white t-shirts lettered in black with “Mothers of Lost Children” form a small protest, waving an “Abused Swan” banner.

From a wheelchair, Maria holds one end of the sign, struggling beneath its weight; she poses for a picture, then another and another… groaning “My abuser broke my back”

SCENE 2: Secrets in the Closet

A closet door creaks open, an empty wheelchair is folded inside… Maria is out dancing, without it.

What about her broken back?
Maria’s story is meant to manipulate sympathy, the evidence tells a very different story…

Maria’s statement, taken by the police, states she has fair recollection of the events leading up to the alleged assault but “doesn’t remember much” after her ex allegedly “pushed her back into the apartment and knocked her down”. There is no evidence that Maria suffered an injury which would explain her conveinant memory loss, and inability to recall important details of an “assault” that she would use to catapault herself to fame. Witness statements from the night of the alleged incident refute Maria’s elaborate story—and she is said to have gone out dancing the night after the incident (with pictures to prove it). There is no evidence or medical reports from the night of the incident showing Maria suffered a broken back.

Also, the alleged incident took place in 1998 — Maria was not given a “prescription” for a wheelchair until 2012. That’s 14 years later! Is it a “coincidence” that her back injury resulted after a car accident?

Read the full story Michael’s Wish: http://michaelswish.com/blake-melinn-broke-my-back

http://michaelswish.com/marias-medical-records-dont-support-back-injury

SCENE 3: Shadowy Kitchen

A Bundt cake molds on a Formica countertop, a lone dust ball rolls across the stove… Mothers of Lost Children and Supporters are on a hunger strike “out of solidarity” with Maria. They have not eaten for days!!! Will she know if one of her “Supporters” sneaks just a tiny bite… stomach growls as a skeletal hand reaches for a cold leg of chicken…three days old and still finger lickin’ good, wowza!

MOLC stands in solidarity with Maria Bauer Melinn

SCENE 4: Sunny Day Allegan County Jail, Birds are Singing…

Maria is jailed for violating a court order, and puts on her best dramatic performance yet… she bats her eyes, pouts her lip, and states that Allegan County is racist against “Hebrews” and the jail is like a “concentration camp” in which “Hebrews” are discriminated against and even killed. It is not explained how these “neo Nazis” detected that Maria is a “Hebrew”, nor has any proof been offered of their alleged racism, and no proof there is some kind of genocidal conspiracy happening in Allegan County.

In her bizarre claim of racism, Maria states that the jail denied her of her wheelchair, and other medical treatment, because she is Hebrew. See here the prescription for Maria’s wheelchair, and her claims of being “tortured”.

The authors of this blog claim it is not written by Maria but the story clearly is hers, she clearly relayed this information, and elicited her perspective. No respectable journalist or blogger would publish this trash that lacks proof, lacks independent evidence and is clearly based on a need for retaliation. Not to mention this article is completely disrespectful to the memory of the Holocaust, and is exploitive to it’s victims—offensive on so many levels.

So how did poor Maria fare without her wheelchair? Is she withering away? Crawling on the floor in agony? Banging her food bowl on the steel cold bars, crying out for help??

SCENE 5: Motorcycle Repair Shop Somewhere in Michigan

Deanna supports Maria, struggling with a broken back

By the end of August 2013, Maria has made a speedy recovery from her broken back, and has transformed into a Motorcycle Mama!

See how Maria moves with a broken back
See how Maria bends, contorts, stoops and hugs bestie Deanna Kloostra without any apparent pain or sign that her “broken back” is bothering her…

Wonder if Maria will show up for the next MOLC Vigil on her Harley??

Or will the Mother’s Movement finally denounce Maria Bauer Melinn for her lies, and put the focus back where it should be—on our children?

Maria Melinn Calls for Jail Protest – Does She Deserve It?

UPDATE:
ATW NOTE: We at ATW clearly understand that that there are systemic failures in family court including gender bias towards Mothers, corruption and general incompetence that occurs. We at ATW acknowledge that there are Mothers jailed every day for unfair, and unjust reasons.

With this in mind we should not be blinded to the truth. We need to take a closer look when the history, patterns of behavior, and documented evidence suggests that certain individuals claiming to be victims (or even advocates) are not being truthful, and may in fact be abusers—not victims. The drama and chaos caused by these
individuals make it very difficult for others to tell if abuse or injustice is present, we understand this.

Clearly Maria Melinn, has shown by her patterns of behavior and the evidence posted in the public domain, that she has a serious lack of regard for her children’s’ safety, personal feelings and overall well-being. Maria repeatedly has put her own needs/wants in front of that of her children. This is a pattern of behavior, with a history behind it, not just a momentary lapse of judgment.

ATW supports mothers facing injustice in family court. We also condemn predator parents ( mothers OR fathers)—including moms like Maria Melinn—who are wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Predator Moms are pretending to be victims, pretending to be protective mothers. They exhaust the resources of advocates and organizations who are trying to help the honest victim. They exhaust the advocates’ and organizations’ time, energy and draw attention to themselves, away from honest protective mothers who urgently need help . They are unable or unwilling to focus on their children or making meaningful change because they demand so much attention or create so much chaos. Their needs come first in everything as they seek the spotlight, or manipulate others to do their bidding. When confronted they cry abuse—they never take responsibility, and claim to be the victim to avoid being exposed in their lies and game playing. These Moms exploit pain and tragedy for their own gain.

Predator Moms are harming real protective mothers and destroying the credibility of the Mother’s Movement. ATW is committed to exposing Predator Moms and the organizations that support/help them.

Breaking News:
We understand that once again Maria Bauer Melinn has been thrown in jail by Judge Cronin…she will be required to spend three days a week in jail from now until November 2013.

Maria is asking that everyone protest outside the jail in a desperate attempt to drum up sympathy for herself. What do you think the picket signs should say???


Maria don’t forget your crown when you go in..

The press release issued by Abused Swan on Maria’s sentence was difficult to read, as she was going off on tangents and trying to blame others rather than address why Maria is in jail this time: http://recalljudgecronin.wordpress.com/2013/07/07/urgent-press-release

Maria is asking for your support, that you call the jail, call the judge, protest in front of the jail.. but does she deserve it?

Understand that with Maria in jail, her children will actually have a chance at having some peace in their lives…even if only temporary.


Some examples of the abuse and exploitation the children have suffered from their mother Maria Bauer Melinn include the following, all taken from web sites supporting Maria:

Maria has continued to use the identity of her children in multiple online postings, in multiple places without any regard to their safety, privacy or personal wishes…these children have had their identity stolen by Maria’s aggressive and unwanted use of their personal information

-Posted on Child Endangerment Alerts, a sister site to “Abused Swan” is a CPS document (from Feb 2009) Maria thought would further her claims of abuse against her ex but instead reveals that Maria sought abuse charges against her ex that were investigated and found to be without merit and that when asked to get a statement from a medical doctor to prove her allegations of abuse, Maria was unable to do so. Also in this report, Mr. Melinn admitted to one act of domestic violence that occurred about 10 years earlier but was found, at this time, to be an appropriate caregiver.
http://childendangermentalerts.wordpress.com/2006/10/18/child-endangerment-alert/

This is from Maria’s own website—and is public information. If you disagree with this report, take it up with Maria because she alone is responsible for posting this.

Direct Quote “The worker informed Ms. Melinn that if she could get a doctor to put in a report that they were being emotionally abused by their father, CPS would be able to do something.

Ms. Melinn had sent this worker documentation from the last 10 years in order to show that Mr. Melinn is an emotionally abusive person. However, there was no report from a doctor.. There was nothing that indicted that Mr. Melinn was abusive or neglectful of his children.”

Also in this report, “This worker informed Ms. Melinn that I would be denying my case as the injuries — sustained all appear to be accidental and that the kids all told me that they were happy living with their dad. Ms. Melinn stated they are just saying that because they are scared of their dad. The worker told her that may be, but I had no evidence to prove that.”

Miss you Maria! Don’t forget to write!

Maria could not get her evidence introduced because she lacked a certified copy of a police report, and the CPS report was found to be heresy so she calls her son to testify and give evidence, pressuring this child (as she later did with her youngest in that infamous video) to make abuse allegations against his father, and take the side of his mother (Maria).

It seems more likely that Maria planned to call her son as a witness all along, because most Courts have a procedure to introduce evidence that includes creating a witness list, and that the child would just be available to testify and just happen to be at the courtroom is very unlikely unless it was planned for him to be there.

The child clearly stated he did not want to be on the witness stand, he did not want to be involved. Instead of respecting his wishes, Maria calls him to the witness stand anyways and says his reluctance must be because he is being abused.

In a bizarre twist, Deanna the court watcher then accuses Mr. Melinn of “parental alienation” and her “proof” is unfounded allegations that Mr. Melinn would drill the child for information regarding what happened in Maria’s home.. and yet Maria is doing exactly this by forcing her child to go on the witness stand and drilling him with questions, and pressuring him to make abuse allegations. Instead of respecting the child’s wishes to be left alone, and kept out of legal proceedings. Maria then goes online posting personal information about her children, using their full legal name and repeating abuse allegations after being asked not to involve her children in this!

Direct Quote: “After her documents were not allowed as evidence Maria called her (second oldest) son — to the stand. Once on the stand, — stated he did not want to be involved. If the child did not want to be involved, what was he doing at the hearing? Maria understands that her children do not tell the truth so that they are not harmed physically or mentally and does not hold anything the child says or does against him.”

Maria Melinn’s Latest Publicity Stunt

On a warm sunny mother’s day, one family grieves and the other is laughing and plotting over the greatest heartbreak a mother can experience–the loss of her child.

The mother who is laughing and plotting is none other than Maria Bauer Melinn.

Those who grieve are her victims, her children, and those sincerely devastated by the death of Michael Melinn–Maria’s own son. Instead of honoring Michael’s memory this Mother’s Day, Maria Melinn is laughing (we don’t understand why!) and plotting ways to drum up more publicity for herself, and further exploit her children–who have been dragged into Maria Melinn’s never-ending campaign of self promotion.

After Maria Melinn “blitz attacked” Fox 17 Grand Rapids, they interviewed Melinn for an episode on people who have lost a child to suicide.?

For all those tuning into Maria’s bogus interview on Fox, here is what you need to know…

Who gets arrested on felonious assault charges for trying to run her ex over with the car in full view of her children and yet claims to be a domestic violence advocate/expert?
Answer: abuser Maria Melinn!!

Who is laughing and talking about being “camera ready” when being interviewed about their own child’s suicide? Answer: abuser Maria Melinn!!!

Who files a $10 million dollar lawsuit for Michael’s wrongful death, served on the grieving family on the anniversary of his suicide? Answer: abuser Maria Melin!!!

We completely understand how some abused mothers are not getting justice in court. However, documented proof shows Maria is NOT one of these mothers yet she continues to pretend to be a victim of family court corruption to draw attention to herself, and in the process she continues to damage her children–and put unwanted attention on them. Maria has shown little concern for her children’s safety and privacy, these are not the actions of a sincere protective mother.

Let’s not forget Maria manipulated her way into getting an interview with Able 2 UK just like she is doing with Fox.. Able 2 UK: Hannah Melinn replies to her mother, Maria Melinn’s, interview exposing the lies

“Victims of Judge Gardner”, Maria Melinn and Bestie Deanna Kloostra created this FB page that borders on stalking and includes inappropriate disclosures of information about public officials, unfounded allegations that have the potential to cause damage and libel and vulgar comments. They just throw out statements without having documented proof, see for yourself: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Victims-of-Judge-Gardner/149550385144002

****Reader Update****
This is why you cannot find Maria’s DV record
Michigan’s Domestic Violence First Offender Program
If you have committed a Domestic Violence for the first time you may be eligible to get your case dismissed under Michigan’s Domestic Violence First Offender Program (the Spousal Abuse Act MCL §769.4a). Regardless of whether the alleged victim consents, the prosecutor must consent or the judge lacks power to impose this program.

Generally the Defendant is placed on probation and the court will dismiss the case upon successful completion. Many times probation in Michigan’s Domestic Violence First Offender Program includes: no contact with the victim, domestic violence classes, paying fines and costs and other provisions

****Reader Update****
FOX was contacted prior to airing and decided not to air Maria Melinn’s interview.

From StopAbuse: “Maria’s interview never appeared on FOX. Why? Because as soon as we got wind of it, we contacted every news outlet in Grand Rapids and provided them with the truth about Maria Bauer Melinn, along with all documentation showing her history of spousal abuse (in front of the children), larceny (for which she has an order to seize property in excess of 19K) and negligent and abusive parenting of her children (police reports, pictures, parenting assessments, court transcripts, etc). Her begged for “spot” was immediately yanked by FOX, and we can nearly assure you not a news outlet in that area will be interested in hearing what she has to say again.…Maria’s reign of terror over the Melinn family and her children is coming to an end. Hopefully, by the time we are done, she will be in jail where she belongs with the rest of the abusers and thieves…”

June 24, 2010 Able2UK (News & Interviews Relating to Disabilities) This site does a story on Maria Melinn and later discovers information that leads them to doubt Maria’s story. Here is an update that includes a letter from Maria’s daughter: http://www.able2uk.com/News/Disabilities/EXCLUSIVE-Hannah-Melinn-replies-to-ABLE2UK.html

Robin Smith -http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?threaded=1&v=2HLQ0raLa60 (video now private)
“I know Maria personally, she claims her husband broke her back in 1998, th incident happened at my home, Maria did not break her back we were out in the club the very next night. If you look at her documentation EVERY Dr statement is from 2008 or later, Maria was in a car accident. All she had was a rug burn from the incident at my house”

“In regards to Maria Melinn in Michigan This particuar “protective mother” is not so innocent please do your homework. Her back injury according to her records happened 7/6/98 and there is not one single medical record until a disability report from SSI on 10/16/2003 then nothing until 2005 then nothing again until 2009 the police report clearly states she refused medical treatment and her only injuries were carpet abraisions”
