Emily Turned 6 on March 1st - Happy Birthday Darling

Emily turned 6 on March 1st - another missed landmark in her short life for her family and her.

Telephonic access as ordered by the Florida court has ceased again and no doubt, the presents we sent to Emily have "not arrived" once more.

Efforts with the State Department to get a visa to travel appear to have come to nothing yet again - I am not allowed a visa because the US Embassy claims I am trying to emigrate.

A blatant lie by the US Embassy and State Department officials seeking to cover up their misconduct.

The truth is they have permanently barred me from entering the US to see Emily because they have allowed themselves to be misled by an unstable, dishonest American mother who amongst other things has claimed domestic violence, graphical sexual abuse of my children in the UK and of Emily in Florida and had every single allegation demonstrated to be false and dismissed by the US court, the same court even finding her guilty of criminal contempt in the process and yet, and yet ... minor US officials such as Barbara Greig can take it upon themselves to dismiss the findings of an American judge and with no hearing, no due process and no evidence simply abuse their position of authority and unchecked powers to sweep Emily and her rights under whatever bug infested carpet they have for this purpose.

It is almost two years since Emily and I have been allowed to have our court ordered access while the US Government claims it "must defer to the Florida court in matters concerning Emily"; defer in all respects when it suits them but not when it comes to letting Emily see her dad; not when it comes to letting Emily have the medical treatment that could have saved her sight,; not protecting Emily when she was put up for sale and into the care of a convicted American pedophile.

Is this because I'm not American?

Or is it because I have a pair of balls instead of a pair of tits?

Or is it because the best interests of the child are clearly subject to the expediency of covering up the dishonesty of lying, corrupt US Government officials such as Barbara Greig and consular officials at the US Embassy, London?

US Department of State - Partial Release of US Passport Application for Emily Rose

US Department of State continues to withhold paperwork


I recently received page 3 of a US Passport application made for Emily Rose in January 2003 - the US passport that was issued to Emily Rose in order to remove her from the UK to the US.

The US Department of State continues to withhold the rest of the paperwork that was requested, including the supporting forms for the issuance of the passport and internal communications regarding the role of various State Department officials in removing and hiding Emily Rose in the US.

What does this mean ?

One of the pieces of paper provided purports to be my consent to the issuance of the passport - except the law required my signed notarized consent and guess what - it isn't my signature and it isn't notarized, so where did it come from ?

Interestingly enough, the passport application page is dated January 2003 but the "consent" form is dated April 2002 - does that seem strange to you because it sure does to me.

I'm waiting on the outcome of a show cause motion for Maria Damour to show cause for her contempt of the federal proceedings in Orlando, Florida - the explanation from the US Attorney General is that the defendants i.e. various State Department officials do not recognise the jurisdiction of the federal court in Orlando, Florida.....hmmmmm.

Watch this space.

International Child Abduction and Domestic Violence

Causes of International Child Abductions



I read this this morning in my google alerts:

"
MOTHERS are responsible for seven out of 10 international parental child abductions, an Australian study has found. And the most common reason for the abduction is flight from an abusive relationship.
"


My first reaction was "hello, mens rights at it again" but the article comes from Australia and the study is that of the International Social Science Australia entitled "Learning From The Links Between Domestic Violence And International Parental Child Abduction".

Now I haven't read the paper so I cannot comment on the conclusions but I do believe it will be a fair assumption to say that 70% of the respondents CLAIM domestic violence exists rather than it ACTUALLY being shown to exist - a much smaller proportion will have justifiable domestic violence as an element of the motivation to abduct than in fact.

The issue of domestic violence and international child abductions is difficult to navigate - one jurisdiction/party's justifiable flight from harm is anothers international child abduction.

The Hague Convention deals with issues such as domestic violence through Article 13(b) which allows a presiding judge to exercise discretion (note discretion not requires) to refuse to allow a return of a child that has been wrongfully removed from a country of habitual residence in those circumstances where there is a grave risk of physical and psychological harm to the child which is "intolerable".

By intolerable, consider this analogy that I was given by David Thelen of The Committee for Missing Children - you hold your outstretched palm above a candle, as you slowly bring your hand down you feel the heat of the flame but that is tolerable, as you bring your hand closer it starts to be painful until your hand is so close to the flame that you are actually burning - that is intolerable.

In this instance, The Hague Convention actually should result in the return of children whose mothers claim to be victims of domestic violence as this would for the most part not satisify the extremely high mark of "intolerable". I read a case last year where a mother fleeing from Venezuela after a hit man had been hired to kill her satisfied the test and though she had internationally abducted the children involved they were not returned due to the danger.

In Sheila Kay Fuith-v-Karl Ernest Hindle re ERH (a minor) I argued that Emily Rose should not be sent to Florida on the basis that the adoption attempt/sale of Emily, placing Emily into the care of a convicted child sex offender and medical neglect for her eye condition represented a an intolerable situation for the purposes of Art 13(b) of The Hague Convention. It was rejected as not satisfying the test.

Domestic violence features in the vast majority of international child abduction cases almost as a matter of course, what needs to impressed is that domestic violence only of the highest viciousness is regarded as a justification for international child abduction and by that it means the threat must be against the children and not the mother.

Clearly there is some way to go with the Hague Convention, but the debate that is raging particularly in America, on article 13(b) and interests of the child creeping into the otherwise summary proceedings to return a child, are likely to taint Hague Convention proceedings with procrastination and dogmatic complications on top of those implicit with the international dimension.

Generally, the vast majority of domestic violence allegations, founded or not, are not a proper justification for international child abduction - international child abduction is child abuse not child protection.

Robert Skelton - Father searching for his child taken from Florida

International Child Abduction - My Alter Ego in Florida







Reported in the Daytona Beach Journal - click here for the article



I'll be contacting Robert as I may be able to help him in finding his child but I think that the mirror nature of our cases serves to underlie the difficulties that he is going to face in finding his child, getting access or return of the child to Florida - not because of the allegations of domestic violence and so on, these unfortunately are par for the course.

Robert is going to face tremendous difficulties because he is simply an American and one from Florida at that and he will have to deal with the appallingly bad reputation that has been created by US officials in positions of responsibility that have failed to protect children in the past - in Washington DC and in Florida as well as on your doorstep in DeLand and DeBary.

Emily (my daughter) was taken 4 years ago with the assistance of the US Department of State based on claims I was domestically violent and they also made it a condition I was not to know where Emily was in the US (I have been repeatedly cleared of these claims by the courts and investigations)

2 months after being taken, Emily was put up for sale in WI and into the care of a convicted pedophile.

Emily was born with an eye defect which would render her permanently blind if untreated - she has received no medical treatment in the US and is now permanently blinded despite numerous British and US doctors advising treatment.

Emily has been moved about 40 times through 10 states in the US and was even missing and classified as endangered at one point.

VCSO Captain Osowski has falsified police reports while my PI observed the mother playing patsy with one of his Deputies in order to convince US Immigration I was a threat and a menace to the mother and my child, and was assisted in this by State Department officials in Washington DC who asked for my arrest in 2004 to stop court hearings in DeLand.

Even with a federal court order ordering my attendance in FL in connection with federal proceedings against the US Department of State - I am barred from entering the US for court ordered visitation with Emily (she was 5 yesterday) or from coming to court.

As for DCF....I have files and recordings that show they falsified their files, tapes of them telling me my daughter being given to a pedophile was a protective custody arrangement and that though Emily was treatable for her blindness this is not medical neglect as it is not life threatening.

What is upsetting is that this behaviour has been seen so many many times with European children and parents in the US and that it is causing a backlash - Robert will probably find his child and I will help him, but is he likely to get the child back, depends - and I have dozens of cases where perfectly good US parents lose their children because of poor official behaviour creating a terrible reputation for Americans that they simply do not deserve.

Emily and I will probably never see each other again no matter what Judge Doyle in DeLand rules if he ever has the chance to hear the case.

No Happy Birthday for Emily

"Ms Fuith Does Not Wish to Hinder Mr Hindle from wishing Emily a Happy Birthday"


Emily was 5 years old on March 1st, last Thursday - I went through my lawyer to see if we could speak to Emily to wish her a happy birthday and the response came back as follows from Ms Kim Bannister of Legal Services of Central Florida in Daytona FL attorneys for Sheila Fuith, which was emailed to me and I have cut and pasted verbatim:


"Karl: I’m going to type out Kim Banister’s response to our request for telephonic contact today:


It is unfortunate that Mr. Hindle has waited until the last minute to ask to speak to Emily for her birthday today. Ms. Fuith had already made plans for this evenings birthday celebration and will not be back at the house until late. Please provide us with alternative dates and times as Ms. Fuith does not want to hinder Mr. Hindle from wishing Emily a happy birthday.


In the future, advanced notice would probably result in a more favorable outcome for Mr. Hindle for any holiday/birthday telephone visitation requests outside of the agreed upon schedule, as Ms. Fuith does make plans for these special days.

I look forward to hearing from you soon on this matter."


Max and I did call, but we just got the answer machine - I wonder if Emily will get her presents from us this time around or will they end up "missing" like the Christmas gifts and cards we sent ?

Simply shameful Kim Bannister, I think you're a good attorney and just doing your job, but I wonder if you act like this with your child ?

To date Emily has had 5 birthdays and 5 Christmas' - we have only had contact for one of each very special occassion while there is no communication with Sheila at all - just a dark horibble nothing for no reason except to be cruel, vicious, vindictive no matter that it hurts an innocent child.

I came across a quote yesterday it goes something like this:

"Love leaves it's mark, Hate leaves it's mark but we choose ourselves which mark we decide to leave."

I love you Emily Rose and I always will.

Happy Birthday from all of us.

Daddy

Happy Birthday Emily !

Happy Birthday Emily Rose


Last night Max and I spoke with Emily - she was excited with her news "Dad, do you know what day it is tomorrow? It's my BIRTHDAY !"

Emily is 5 years old today - another birthday that we will not be allowed to share with her nor her with us - but we love you darling, all of us, we love you very, very much.

Hopefully today, we will be able to speak to her on her birthday but I have to wait on the lawyers seeing if Sheila (Emily's mother) will agree.

Emily has been located


In response to a federal subpoena Panama City PD have provided Emily's location and confirmed it - why they simply could not have done that the first time around is beyond me

The extract from the police report is attached - Emily's mother is claiming telephone harassment yet again while there is a FL court order allowing telephone contact twice weekly !

US Embassy Refuses Visa for Emily's Dad

I attended the US Embassy London last week for a 9am interview for a visa to travel for the forthcoming trial in October and also to exercise my court ordered visitation with Emily.

After being kept waiting for 7 1/2 hours (yes that's right, seven and a half hours!) I was interviewed at 4.30pm.

My request for a visa to go see Emily was denied as I had been rendered ineligible under s3A(2)INA as I had "harassed the American citizen mother" - I produced my court orders for access and the findings of the Florida court that I had not been harassing or domestically violent together with the order finding the mother in criminal contempt for her behaviour as well as the false police reports filed by Captain Alan Osowski, his deposition and my telephone records (see earlier posts). I was advised that "attorneys in Washington DC had evaluated the orders" and I was still not allowed a visa for court ordered access.

My application for a visa to go for the trial required "administrative processing" and I received the reply today - I am ineligible as I cannot demonstrate sufficient connection to the United Kingdom and I am a presumed immigrant to the United States.

The letter from the US Embassy London and my response are below - enjoy !

Radio Interview on 101 Uses For Babywipes

101 Uses For Baby Wipes: Episode 146: Where Is Emily Now?
follow the link for the interview

8.06.2006
Episode 146: Where Is Emily Now?

Special Guest Interview: Karl Hindle

Karl's baby girl Emily vanished, along with the girl's mother, who took Emily in January 2003. Since then, Karl has been trying to find little Emily Rose Hindle, pictured here. She has been moved by her mother at least 40 times, through 10 U.S. States.

Karl has spent over 3 years searching for Emily, and he has sold everything he owns to try and get Emily back.

She is going blind. If Emily isn't found soon, and given medical attention for a serious eye problem, the damage will be irreversible.

Karl's search for Emily is a story of international child abudction, a U.S. State Department cover-up, and involvement of a known sex offender in a plot to illegally adopt Emily.

Have we found Emily ?

Yesterday I spoke with Panama City PD - they visited the address where Emily is supposed to be living at - her aunt's, Debbie Martin - and a safe and well check was conducted.

The officer claims to have seen Emily and that she has nothing wrong with her eyes - they appeared normal.

Below is a photograph of Emily taken earlier this year in Florida:



One thing you cannot say about Emily is that she has "normal eyes" - she is very heavily cross-eyed so I am concerned as to who the police officer actually saw ?


I called the house and eventually spoke to a man there - I asked to speak with Emily in accordance with my telephonic access order but he advised Emily was not there. Earlier I called the house and Debbie Martin answered - "Don't you call my home anymore !" and hung up - Debbie Martin is now claiming I am harassing her .... here we go again !

Where is my daughter right now ?

At the end of June, Judge Doyle in Volusia County Court, FL gave the mother Sheila Fuith, permission to relocate to Panama City in Florida on two conditions - first, that I was given an address for where she was staying with Emily and secondly, I was given a telephone number.

Sheila has advised her attorney, Kim Bannister of Central Florida Legal Services, Daytona Beach that her family refuse to allow her to give out a telephone number.

Right now I want to know where Emily is and get our telephonic contact as ordered by Judge Doyle - since I departed Florida, there has been no contact whatsoever.

Sheila also did NOT take Emily to Shand Medical Centre in Gainesville for a further medical opinion on her eye condition - the TENTH such examination - just how many do you need before the US agencies get this through their collectively thick skulls - Emily is GOING BLIND !

Karl - Emily's Dad

Captain Osowski - False Police Reporting

Captain Alan Osowski is the District Commander of DeBary Florida and is a senior member of Volusia County Sheriff's Office in Florida.

He was promoted to Captain by Sheriff Johnson in February 2003 and is a 26 year veteran of the force.

In October 2003, the British High Court in London UK heard a Hague Convention hearing filed by Barbara Greig of the US Department of State on behalf of Emily's mom, Sheila Fuith, to determine the jurisdiction for where custody proceedings should take place. The High Court ruled, very bizarrely, that Florida had jurisdiction (but more on that later), and Emily was sent to Florida for hearings to take place BUT on condition she was to commence receiving medical treatment forthwith for her eye condition (and to date that still has not happened).

No sooner had her mother arrived in Florida than Sheila commenced filing complaints to the British and Florida police that she was being stalked, harassed and threatened by Emily's dad (4,000 miles away in England). Ignoring the British High Court order she went into hiding and denied Emily her medical treatment for her blindness among many other things.

On 24th November 2003, Emily's mom, Sheila Fuith and her friend, Dana Burtchell also known as Dana Colston, made a police complaint taken by Captain Osowski.



I am not particularly interested in demonstrating the falsity of Sheila Fuith's allegations here but rather to demonstrate the falsity of Captain Osowski's reporting.

So is this false reporting by Captain Osowski?

Firstly, note the first paragraph on the extract - "Captain Osowski viewed some of the saved numbers on the V1 (Fuith's) cell phone.....the numbers were verified by Captain Osowski and Ms Pat Scott (03)"

Now look at the telephone numbers Captain Osowski records - some of these numbers were in use at this time, but some were not - note the bottom telephone number 011 441 621 772693 and note the date of the police report....November 24th 2003 and now look at the following fax from British Telecom the line provider in the UK:



On p2 you can see that the telephone number ++1621 772693 had been DISCONNECTED on January 7th 2003 - THERE IS THEREFORE NO POSSIBILITY THAT CAPTAIN OSOWSKI "VERIFIED" OR OTHERWISE LOGGED THIS NUMBER AS CALLING THE MOTHER'S CELL PHONE ALMOST A YEAR LATER.

The second proof that Captain Osowski falsified his police report comes from his own testimony - on February 10th 2005, Captain Osowski and other VCSO officers were deposed:










Captain Osowski's report was passed to the British police to be investigated by Detective Gary Biddle of Essex Police in the UK after Sheila had also made allegations to the British police there.

Detective Biddle of the British police concluded that Sheila Fuith was making FALSE ALLEGATIONS and moving around the US to hide Emily from her dad and to evade the legal process in the US.

On 29th April 2004, a domestic violence injunction hearing was heard before Judge Doyle in DeLand Florida - Judge Doyle dismissed the petition ruling it was clear that the proceedings were being brought to gain advantage in the custody case.

Notwithstanding this, Barbara Greig at the US Department of State used this and other VCSO reports to make a case for Emily's dad to be arrested by US Immigration and deported when he had been cleared of all the allegations by Judge Doyle in Florida - here's her fax to US Immigration:



In short, Barbara Greig and Sheila Fuith failed to stop Emily's dad from bringing proceedings, failed to keep him out of the country and failed to obtain a domestic violence injunction against him....so they misled US Immigration to do the dirty work for them......Emily later disappeared to become classified as missing and endangered and to continue to be denied medical treatment for her blindness.....now WHY would a State Department official ignore a Florida judges ruling, a British High Court ruling and a 2 month investigation by British police and do this ?

The answer I believe, is linked to why the British High Court would send a British child to Florida for custody hearings when Florida did not have jurisdiction AND assist in Emily's initial abduction from the UK in February 2003....more on that later.

Is this my family ?



Emily met her elder brother (Max) and sister (Elizabeth) for the first time in almost 3 years earlier this year at Disney Animal Kingdom - as we walked into the resort hotel, Emily asked me "Is this my family ?"

Emily has paid a terrible price and continues to do so - as do we all.

Criminal Justice Online: International Child Abduction: Using the Criminal Justice System

Criminal Justice Online: International Child Abduction: Using the Criminal Justice System

Quite a good explanation of civil and criminal differences in dealing with international child abductions - pretty much a moot difference - you're unlikely to recover your child no matter what system is used which begs the question why are we failing so badly ?
