Guest guest Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 Sat, 14 Jun 2003 11:04:32 -0800 Sandy Mintz FW: ACTION ALERT and Update: Dr.Rebecca Carley Court Hearing From Arnold Gore: Yesterday we went to hear the Appeal of Dr.Rebecca Carley,MD of the seemingly impausible Family Court Decision that gave full custody to the father who according to overwhlming evidence, sexually abused the child, giving Dr.Carley only one (1) hour of supervied visitation per week. Dr.Carley, a vocal dissident warning of possible dangers of mandatory vaccinations has been subject to enormous pressures to silence her truthful, but disturbing warnings. You might ask, why is this child custody case important to Heath Freedom? Sadly I am fearful that the State of New York is sending a very dngerous message to the parents who are most concerned and opposed to vaccinating their children. There is always the threat of removing children from parents who do not submit their children to vaccination. If THE DOCTOR HERSELF can lose her child, what chance do I have?? This message cannot be tolerated. Under these circumstances a large turnout of steadfast supporters gathered at the Courthouse of the New York State Apppellate Division 2nd Department located in Downtown Brooklyn starting at 8am for the 10am hearing. I prepared 200 copies of a new updated background sheet to pass out to people going to work. The court is located in a quiet residential neighborhood, so the volume of pedestrian traffic was much less than when we leafletted before the Medical Board (OPMC) last year on 34th Street. Nevertheless, we had such a good turnout of supporters that we were able to post people across the street, up the block and even around the corner. All the flyers were used up and we had to use some of my left over folders from the last OPMC hearing.By the way OPMC has still not made a decision on Dr.Carley's medical license although the hearings concluded January 30,2003. We feel that the delay means they are having serious second thoughts about going through with the propsed revocation.In the meantime Dr.Carley is practicing. Dr.Carley arrived at about 9:50 am and we all went into the court. The Appellate Division hearing consists of a 4 judge panel that usually only hears the opposing lawyers argue why the trial court decision should be reversed and the reason it should be upheld. The arguments are usually boring detailed legal technicalities. Dr.Carley was scheduled to be the 16th case to be heard of about 20 cases. Most of the eary cases were appeals from criminal convictions. One of the cases did have an element of sexual abuse in it. The strong reaction from some of the judges, deploring the action of the District Attorney in accepting a plea bargain to a lesser charge and exempting the defendant from being recorded in the State Sex Abuse Register, was a seemingly positive sign of interest in this hot button issue. All of the prior cases were represented by attorneys who spoke in hushed conversational tones to the justices, so it was hard to hear in the middle and back of the large courtroom. The other cases appealing child custody had no personal appearance from either side only legal briefs to the court. When the case was called Dr.Carley strode to the podium to plead for the son she has been deprived of for over three years, she has been representing herself in all of her legal proceedings. The rarefied atmosphere of the court was infused with the soaring plea of a real victim that this court is not used to seeing. Her compelling recounting of the very questionable characterization her taking full body photographs of her sons injuries to document sexual abuse as being an act of " pornography " seemed obvious. The court had maintained that because the patient was her son, the law did not protect her. Her son should have the same right to be protected from abuse as any other patient. in spite of state law mandating all physicians to document and report sexual abuse and be held harmless from legal action for such reporting was cited as justification. Dr.Carley advised the court that she has recently been qualified in court proceedings as an epert in testifying about child abuse cases. Her practice contains a large number of children who have been injured from childhood vaccination that she has often been able to reverse. The assumption that she is a danger to her own child is ludicrous. The actions of Family Court Judge Richard Lawerence, in ignoring the testimony of the chauffeur who transported the child from his fathers house to Dr.Carley's house and made an audeotape of the childs allegations that he was afraid of his father. After the tape was trying to be introduced by Dr.Carley, and was excluded by Judge Lawence and Mr.Carley found out about the contents of the child's taped plea, the child was subjected to retaliation, but it was excluded from helping to rescue him from further abuse. The air was electrified as Dr.Carley continued on, fighting back tears to place the court on notice that state action deliberately taken to endanger the health and safety of this child, after being placed on notice of the actual facts and dangers, makes the state liable for damages caused. When Dr.Carley finished, there was not one question from the court. We all filed out of the court and showed that a large group of citizens heard the testimony and will be watching their decision. We took some photographs with my hastily made " unprofessional " sign saying: DON'T GIVE A CHILD TO AN ABUSER TO PRESSURE A DISSIDENT DOCTOR In my earlier email explaining the bakground of the case I gave a phone number to call the court. It is a very general nimber and you must wait on the menu, until possibly pressing #6 and getting one of the court personnel who do not transfer your call to the justices. There is also another judge o the panel. I did not list Justice Gabriel Krausman. To be sure your message gets through mail a letter to any or all of the judges. The case is being heard by Justices Sandra Feuerstein, Gabriel Krausman, Gloria Goldstein and Reinaldo Rivera.
