Dear Representative Jerry Stern:
As you know it has been a year ago that I filed and Impeachment Petition
against the Dis-honorable Judge Hiram Carpenter. In response to my letter that I
faxed you on October 20, 2002, I received a letter on November 11, from
Representative Thomas Gannon indicating that the Impeachment Petition was under
review by judicial committee staff and he believed appropriate actions would be
taken. Mr. Gannon also expressed his hopes that this matter would be coming to a
conclusion soon. While Mr. Gannon’s letter raised my spirits for about a day
it could not possibly erase or diminish the fact that the heinous crimes acted
out against me and my daughter by the judicial system have been ongoing for
seventy-five months. I struggle to find answers on a daily basis why it is so
hard to disclose a set of audio tapes from my custody hearings that would
provide solid evidence to the monstrous fraud Hiram Carpenter perpetrated
against my daughter and me. What amazes me is that normally “any”
disinterested party, including yourself, can acquire a copy of any court hearing
audio tapes for about ten dollars. Yet, no one has any interest in exposing a
corrupt judge for severely abusing a defenseless child.
Already since Special Judge William Henry heard my case back in July 2002
another seven months have elapsed, further splitting and widening the
relationship gap between me and my daughter that the court manipulated, with
absolutely no relief in sight. My daughter Stephanie will be sixteen years old
this July. Try to imagine that a sixteen year old young lady in free America is
unable and forbidden to see the family she was raised with and loved dearly. An
innocent child literally destroyed by judicial corruption. It is getting harder
each day for me to distinguish the heralded liberties and freedoms that the
America people supposedly exercise in comparison to the oppressed people of
Afghanistan and Iraq.
Over the last year I or my sister have brought to your attention that I was
to arrange counseling for myself and my daughter as was directed by Judge Henry’s
August 19, 2002 court order. Accordingly, I jumped through the endless string of
hoops and complied with that order. I hired James Brady (psychiatric counselor)
at $68.00 dollars per hour to do the counseling. So far I attended three
sessions in October 2002. What the court knew well in advance would happen is
the mother refused to take Stephanie to any counseling appointments. This
resulted in more delays and another hearing on November 18. More money and time
wasted! Reinforcing the same order Judge Henry directed my wife again to make
Stephanie available for counseling. On December 16, my wife did take Stephanie
for counseling. When Dr. Brady attempted to accommodate my wife’s schedule for
follow up appointments she refused to avail herself or Stephanie for further
appointments. As I am writing this letter I am waiting for the second time in
four months to be notified of a court date to address the “mothers” contempt
of a court order. This action has been pending since December 31. Meanwhile,
time is slowly progressing towards that magic age for Stephanie when she can
free herself from the abuse that the court inflicted upon her. From my
perspective this is being systematically done on purpose and by design. After
all, once Stephanie turns 18 the matter is moot. Mr. Carpenter’s criminal
conduct and everyone else who aided and abetted his crimes avoids prosecution
and public exposure for their scandalous behavior.
I find it ironic that Judge Henry would admit to Attorney Zanoni on November
18, that I had presented an excellent case at the July 29, 2002 hearing, and
further admitted that during his illegal “private interview” with Stephanie
on August 19, 2002 that he observed Stephanie had been severely brainwashed by
the doctors and her mother. Excuse me, but it seems ludicrous that the best
order Judge Henry could come up with in the hypocritical term of the Child’s
Best Interest was counseling for the father and his daughter. There is something
twisted in these judges minds that would allow the child to continue to be
brainwashed and psychologically abused by the custodial mother and her court
whore hirelings.
What has become a well established pattern in the Pennsylvania courts is the
custodial parent mother will receive a meaningless slap on the wrist for her
contempt of a court order. You know how the system works when it comes to
mothers. Can’t fine the mother because it takes resources from the child’s
upkeep. And the court won’t put a mother in jail because it deprives the child
of a parent. Consequently, I am sure Judge Henry will continue on with his vain
and vague attempts to correct everything that is wrong with this custody case by
directing the mother to make Stephanie available for counseling sessions with
the non-custodial father’s counselor one hour per week. And I am certain that
within weeks to months after his new order I will be back in court again,
wasting more money to address another contempt petition against the mother.
Years ago when Representative Edwin Johnson held office he would always ask
his constituents what he could do to help them concerning their complaints.
While I don’t mean this to be an attack against you, I must confess that you
have neither asked what I wanted you to do, nor have you offered any assistance
in addressing this court corruption matter. In my last letter to you I suggested
protesting in Harrisburg as a means of bringing these issues to the media and
legislature’s attention. I also asked you for advice on what I can do that may
help bring this to public attention. You didn’t respond. On several occasions
I asked about or suggested new laws as a means of putting safe guards in place
to hamper judges and court reporters from tampering with trial transcripts.
(Please read the enclosures). To my knowledge this hasn’t been addressed. In
light of my case I have expressed my opinion that some form of presumptive joint
custody laws need to be enacted, in which you agreed. Yet, we can’t get this
kind of legislation past committees. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of children
are psychologically damaged each year. The only thing that works in the custody
system without hitches is the child support collection industry. Hearings are
held expeditiously, and dad’s are promptly penalized or institutionalized if
they are unable or unwilling to pay. This isn’t justice, this is tyranny! I am
willing to work with you on these issues. What can we do to stop the abuse and
correct the system, now?
Sincerely,
Robert G. Kearns, Jr.
