Use this to get rid of STUPID Michel The decision to prevent her from speaking may constitute a violation of that law — one that Commissioner Michel appears to have little knowledge or regard for.
She lied. I have witnessed her bashing her own head and screaming “he hit me”. She’s always been nuts and anyone that knows her understands the shit turmoil this guy has been through because of her. Look up her mugshots and records. All that happened while he was doing well AWAY from her. He tries to help his children and buys her a home and car and she does this shit. Threatens to kill her kids. He called the cops. She didn’t call. So wow great misleading Lie of a title.
I have no idea if this is actually the case here but I’ve heard of exactly this happening.
This kind of stuff combined with how bad “CPS” is in some places and it’s no wonder no one wants to have kids anymore.
Sounds like the boyfriend’s family is commenting above. Obviously LEO found evidence to support her claims while it clearly states that his were found to be untruthful.
His family has done nothing but lie and harass the mother of his children / “partner” (when he decides it can work in his favor) and their two children together, for years whenever he gets in domestic legal trouble, even with camera footage, hospital documents, and pictures to prove her statements to be true.They still go out of their way to make sure the person that gives her days to long hours at work, and provides their niece, nephew, grandson, and grand daughter the stability they deserve and need, and has been the only stable thing in their lives, is constantly fighting with cps, or dcfs to prove she is in fact not abusive or neglectful.They have only been in their niece and nephews lives very few times popping in and out when convenient for them.Making them little to no priority.The mother has taken the aunts son, who is making these false claims above, for weeks in a row, So her and her now husband could have time alone together in the beginning of their relationship, and also grieve the loss of a loved one.If the mother is actually the way she’s trying to depict, then why would she leave her own child with her? The father has been charged multiple times with domestic battery and the mother agreed to hold a hold open agreement even after causing her to have a broken arm and traumatic brain injury, leading to seizures, permanent vision problems, along with short term and long term memory loss, and an unpaid leave from work.This can all be proven, and is all documented by specialists from Kenosha county to Milwaukee.She did this because the case got dragged for two years, and because she did not want to withhold the children from him and ultimately be the one blamed for a strained relationship with their father.So he was granted 3rd party exchanges. And even with that, the mothers parents had to get a restraining order, as the third party for pick ups and drop offs of the children, because he would not communicate to see the children but instead to harass them. False statements like the one above from his sister, the aunt of the two children are the reason these things continue to happen. It’s why women die, don’t report abuse, stay in abusive relationships, and have their children torn from them for no reason. Because they always feel guilt when they shouldn’t at the end of the day. She has had sole custody, with him being able to see them whenever he wants to, but choosing not to, making false promise after promise to these children.She has raised them by herself, with the help of her parents watching them so she could work 2-3 jobs at a time trying to keep a roof over their head and support their wants and needs the best she could. He has wrote the courts asking for sole custody or 50/50 custody, and instead of having her served at home, made sure to make a scene at her workplace and bring the papers to a different county to have her served in front of all her coworkers and customers.Just to not show up to the court date that he filed and served her with. He’s gotten thousands of dollars in child support dropped because the mother didn’t want him going to jail over money while he was working off papers and not reporting it.Which everything I’m stating can be backed up by an obscene amount of evidence.They have made false claims like the ones above to dcfs and the police, as well as doing wellness checks on the children constantly making a 7 and 10 year old be questioned by cops,dcfs, and cps workers, at school, in the middle of the night, and at home.Not only making them worried to say something wrong but making them feel torn and confused on how to answer questions kids shouldn’t have to answer. This has affected them so majorly that their mother had to put them in therapy because they didn’t know how to deal with things a child shouldn’t have to deal with.This has had a major impact on not only the mother’s quality of life but also the children’s. If the fathers sister, their aunt, actually cared she wouldn’t be involving herself, making her niece, nephew, and their mothers life a living hell. She is defending someone she hasn’t seen in years, and calling dcfs and opening a case against the mother, who she also hasn’t seen in years along with the children, while leaving out the fact that the father was just arrested and had more charges added after further investigation.How can you make claims to dcfs and knowingly and willing lie on these posts when they obviously had enough evidence to press the charges to begin with?Making false claims and accusations to these organizations, law enforcement,and on these websites can lead to not only serious legal consequences, but most importantly long lasting mental damages and in some situations worse.To the ones that matter the most, the children.Especially when you make false claims that can be proven easily false and knowingly false. If she actually cared about her brother or his children she wouldn’t be getting herself in legal trouble and lying all over the internet to try to protect her brother, when she hasn’t even been in her brothers life for years.Not only was the mothers rights stripped in court, but now she has to fight to prove accusations wrong and save the money to obtain an attorney to have a voice, without being silenced,and hold people accountable for the damages they have caused. At the end of the day, the only thing that should matter to anyone, from both families is the children. Their safety, mental health, stability, and happiness. Along with both parents getting the help they need mentally, in order to co-parent and raise their children to be strong and undamaged by their parents conflicts and consequences to the actions they chose to make.
