The PAS Racket

Networks of lawyers, GALs, mediators, psychologists, therapists, parenting coordinators, et. al. collude and conspire in these Parental Alienation Fraud cases. The mother and children are attacked every step of the way. The GAL may ask to speak with the children. The GAL then calls in a child abuse report, intentionally, or this may be done in response to a domestic violence injunction. The GAL then calls in one or more of this network of therapists and evaluators to attack the mother and children from every angle. All accusing the victims while exonerating the perpetrator who pays hefty "legal bills" and "evaluation bills", basically buying visitation and/or custody in this racketeering fraud. It's like black market human trafficking with the appearance of legitimacy, all done with virtual immunity through the court system.

Here is one such brutal example that was overturned on appeal to Florida's 4th DCA. The guardian ad litem, Vicki Plant, has been involved in multiple cases using the same psychologists and same strategy to further victimize abused women and children. The therapist, Dahlia Biller has also worked with Vicki Plant on other cases using the same strategy. Vicki Plant racks up exorbitant bills and frequently files liens against her unfortunate victims as shown in Broward County Records. Also, involved in this vicious attack on the mother and children was Martha Jacobson as evaluator, and Jan Faust as undisclosed expert. Interestingly, Jan Faust owns a home with the judge on the case, Susan Greenhawt per Broward County Public Records book 44956, page 1035. This fraudulent custody change caused severe trauma to mother and children with one of the children having to be hospitalized. This sadistic group continued to inflict harm by blaming the mother and depriving the child of the mother's love and support.

The family continues to suffer as the children are under 18 and litigation continues.


IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA
FOURTH DISTRICT JANUARY TERM 2005
S.S. Appellant, v. P.S. Appellee.
CASE NO. 4D04-455
Opinion filed January 19, 2005

Appeal of a non-final order from the Circuit
Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit,
Broward County; Susan F. Greenhawt, Judge;
L.T. Case No. FMCE 03-15749 3793.

Lynn G. Waxman of Lynn G. Waxman, P.A.,
West Palm Beach, Sari Teichman Addicott and
Michael L. Addicott of Addicott & Addicott,
P.A., Hollywood, for appellant.

Nancy W. Gregoire and Joel L. Kirschbaum of
Bunnell, Woulfe, Kirschbaum, Keller, McIntyre
& Gregoire, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellee.

ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
PER CURIAM.

We grant the motion for rehearing, withdraw
the opinion issued on November 10, 2004, and
substitute the following.

Appellant, S.S., appeals from
the non-final Order on Temporary Injunction for
Protection Against Domestic Violence and Other
Temporary Relief. She argues that she was
deprived of due process at the hearing because,
contrary to Florida Family Law Rule of
Procedure 12.363(b)(1) (2003), the trial court
permitted the use of the custody evaluation
psychological report which was completed and
delivered to appellant’s counsel the day before
the hearing. We agree and reverse.
Pursuant to section 741.30, Florida Statutes
(2003), the trial court held a hearing on the
temporary injunction for protection against
domestic violence issued against appellee and
considered the issue of custody of the children
of the parties. Two months before the hearing a
custody evaluator was appointed. On Sunday,
the day before the hearing, which had been
continued twice, the report was completed and
delivered to the parties’ attorneys. The report
was thirty-five pages single-spaced and
recommended that the children be removed from
appellant’s custody due to the severe alienation
of the children by their mother (appellant) from
their father. Finding that the circumstances
amounted to an emergency, the trial court, over
the repeated objections of appellant that she
needed more time to prepare, permitted the
testimony of the psychologist, which was based
upon the report.

We find that the circumstances of this case do
not rise to the level of the extraordinary
circumstances required to find a true emergency
as held in Stanley-Baker v. Baker, 789 So. 2d
353, 355 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001). Thus, the trial
court’s decision to permit the testimony of the
psychologist that was based upon her report,
which was received by appellant the day before
the hearing, was an abuse of discretion and
deprived appe llant of procedural due process.
See Crifaci v. Crifaci, 626 So. 2d 287, 288 (Fla.
4th DCA 1993).

REVERSED AND REMANDED FOR
FURTHER PROCEEDINGS.
GUNTHER, TAYLOR and HAZOURI, JJ.,
concur.

This is the Mother in Crifaci vs Crifaci. Feel free to ask for the true information in this alienation and the kidnapping of our son by his Father .

Being nice and trying not to hust the child by the real truth may not be the best way to handle things.

Good to know there still are the nuts out there who believe PA and PAS doesn't take place in today's society. Really, get off your backsides and open your eyes. Children just do not start hating a parent. Hate is taught by one person or persons to another. To say PA and PAS does not exist is like saying racism doesn't take place in today's society. What's funny is most of the individuals trying to discredit PA and PAS are the ones who engaging in the behavior. Of course alienators are going to try and discredit PA and PAS as a witch hunt. God forbid if the courts took the number one tool they use away from them. These child psycological mind abusers should be jailed and subjected to intense psycotherapy themselves. In the long run, alienators should be deprogrammed out of society altogether.

There are MANY cases where the person claiming to being alienated is the one creating the alienation by their OWN behaviors. Family courts/lawyers, PC's, GALS, CPS and anyone working in family court need to be educated on Narcissist and their behaviors- which are the cause of the alienaton of their own children from themselves. Karyl McBride, PH.D is a real expert and can educate the professionals listed in this article so they can learn to make decisions that are truly in the child/ren's best interest based on facts and not assumptions, biases, or theories.

I was victim of this Vicky Plant scam. She took my only child from me and gave full custody to father who put more money on the table.Her and her scam partners decided it was the best interest of the child to stay with the father, ignoring all the FACTS. She and her 'partners' in PA bs in this scam protected the wealthy/narcissist/self-centered father as much as they could. I don't know if she is married, but I heard that she has no children. In my case she wrote to judge that she was very concerned with the stress I was putting on the child's cat going back and forth to father's house. Cat's stress??? What about the stress she and her whore partners put on our children? I hope one day she will pay for all the pain she has caused on all mothers and children out there.

Janice Conklin (Crifaci) says: Our son is now 34 years old. I ran across this when looking for other information for another matter not related to this in any way. I felt I needed to say that I found out a couple years after the Crifaci V Crifaci hearing that My Lawyer and the Social Worker were paid off by the family of our sons Father. It made sense asking him (my lawyer) to ask Vince questions and he refused. I had never been to court until this started, so I was intimidated by my lawyer and Vince and his Lawyer. The Judge in the 2nd trial was very nice, I could tell he knew "something" was going on but could do nothing to make my lawyer let me talk or ask Vince questions. He did say that he would insist that I pay the minimum in child support and that is could not be raised as long as I had to pay.
I still have nightmares about missing our son and putting him on the plane to send him to his Fathers. His Father did everything he could to postpone the visits between our son and I so the plane ticket was more expensive the closer we got to the visit in the hope that I couldn't afford a ticket. When I visited our sons school ( in Pa.) they said they didn't know that I was even involved in our sons life, and that our son had been to the psyc. when he first got to Pa., I was never told this. There is much more I could say including that my gas line was cut on my car and my brake line was also cut during out 2 years of court battles. I won't go into more terrible things the family and Mr. Crifaci did because it still upsets me. Janice Conklin 8-13-17
