Carol Rhodes, a former Friend of the Court Enforcement Officer, speaks out and tells the the participants at the Barry County Equal Parenting Symposium that she was instructed to essentially lie to mothers and fathers while providing services to the public. See an excerpt of her excellent speech that she delivered below. The Barry County Equal Parenting Symposium provided educational services to the public about the status of Michigan's Equal Parenting Bill, House Bill 4564.

I believe this to be illegal.
Shawn Perry from the FOC bragged about taking the fees to build the park. She was very proud that the park had been built in her old neighborhood.
I know what I heard and a friend of mine who attended the Ingham county foc advisory committee meeting heard the same as I.
After I confronted MS perry, she denied the whole thing. Denied that she ever said it.
I know what I heard. I was angry when I heard it because we have a grandson who has been horribly abused while in his mothers care.
The child has been abused by his mentally ill mother,and her mother as well. both of these women are bi polar.
and the little boy is being raped by two men. the mothers brother and the mothers new husband--the step daddy.
We asked for a court appointed court agent to supervise the mothers visitation. We were told that there were no funds for it.
Who was the mothers supervisor? Her bi polar mother!
Yes, the mentally ill mother of the mentally ill and abusive mother of the small boy. This court approved supervisor is also the mother of one of the rapists and the mother in law of the other rapist!! And she abuses the boy as well!!!
The child returned from that visit with his ear ripped. We also observed the stepfather at the hotel where they were staying during the visit. He was forbidden to be near the child at the time.
When we reported the rape of the child, they took the child and gave him to the abusive parent.
TOOK THE CHILD FROM THE FAMILY WHO LOVE AND TREAT HIM LIKE HE IS A PERSON. AND GAVE THIS LITTLE BOY TO THOSE WHO BEAT, BERATE AND RAPE HIM!
i HAVE ONE HELL OF A STORY TO TELL AND WE NEED HELP.
We have went bankrupt over trying to defend this child.
I must tell you about the twisted trainwreck of court docuements. 32 pages of fairy tale! The foc didnt get anything right. she attributed behavior to the wrong parent. Misquoted dates. SHe literally got precious few things right. And what she did get right was backed up with a convaluted reasoning that boggles the mind.
things like telling how well the child is treated and how he is strongly bonded to his father and then state that the mother can give better structure and discipline!!!
I have at least 30 pictures of her discipline!
We are desparate to get someone to look at this looney court decision.
the judge ordered that my grandson could not go to school! ever heard of that one before?
Right now i am working on writing this childs story. we are going to put together a packet of abuse pictures, documents and statements from others who have seen abuse!
