JUDICIAL ABDUCTION HAPPENS IN AMERICA!
Time and time again, Judges in our country, the U.S.A., are part of abducting children by using the court system to help felons, batterers, molester’s and narcissists, get custody of children when any “normal” American would not give these individuals custody, much less, rights to unmonitored visitation with children.
I was outraged to hear just one more story of how this recently happened in the state of Nebraska. A little 9 year old girl named Sonya Hodgins, adopted for 9 years, was given back to her convicted criminal biological father, whom she never met and did not know. John McCall petitioned the court to get his daughter back once he was out of prison due to his violent criminal past – and got custody. This is a nightmare for all children when this can happen.
Parental Alienation Syndrome is another “junk science” tool used by courts to take children away from their protective and loving parent, and given to a abusive and/or sexually abusing parent, and no one does anything about it.
It makes no sense that court judges, attorneys and others are part of child abuse under the umbrella of “legal” manipulations and not held accountable when laws are not followed. I have been a part of more legal cases then I care to mention, due to corruption by judges, attorneys, child custody evaluators, DCFS, and others who take money and “bought” off to rule a certain way in the court room. I continue to be outraged every day as I continue to hear about more cases where judges are corrupt and giving children to abusers. One can’t sue a judge and the only way a judge is held liable for misconduct is if the state Judicial Council is informed, follows up, and sanctions the judge by removing them from the bench or have them take “early retirement.” But if that happens (which is rare), the entire case load of that judge, is now opened up and reviewed which takes time, money and effort – which most Judicial Council’s don’t want to have happen. So in many cases, the case is called “unfounded” and nothing is done, while children are abducted by so called parents with criminal and/or abusive histories are given custody through Judicial Abduction. Here is the story on 9 year old Sarah.

The biological family of a little girl taken from her foster parents and returned to her jailbird father have branded her adoptive mom and dad, ‘selfish’ for fighting to get her back and vowed never to give her up again.
Sonya, aged nine, had been in the care of Kim and David Hodgin, from Dickson, Tennessee for more than seven years, but she was recently handed over to ex-con John McCaul in Omaha, Nebraska.
The Hodgin family have released a heart-breaking phone conversation, revealing Sonya’s desperate pleas, begging to be reunited with them.
Heartbreaking: David and Kim Hodgin had been caring for Sonya, now nine, since before she was two years old, but were forced to see her forcibly returned to her biological father in January
And they have claimed the school girl, “cried her eyes out”, screaming, “Please don’t let them do this, Daddy, please, Mama, don’t let ’em take me,” when she was forcibly removed from them.
But a female relative of McCaul – a convicted felon who served time for transporting firearms – has hit back at the Hodgins, branding them “selfish” and accusing them of not have the little girl’s best interests at heart.
Speaking from Omaha, Nebraska, the woman, who asked not to be named, said: ‘This is not the way to do things. If you don’t get what you want you shouldn’t behave like they are.
‘They are spreading all kinds of dirt about John, but they don’t know him. Sonya should never have been with them in the first place. She wasn’t treated badly. She’s the most important person in John’s life.
‘His mother, Sonya’s grandmother, never gave up on her and has been fighting to get her back all this time. Her real family love her.+6
Tragedy: Mrs Hodgin and her husband were just given three hours notice before their adoptive daughter was taken from their home in Dickson County, Tennessee and moved to Omaha, Nebraska
‘John has had to take Sonya into hiding because he is being targeted by people. Some people stole his trash and tried to steal his truck.
‘I feel sorry for the Hodgin’s because they have a relationship with Sonya and if it was up to us, they would continue to see her, but they are making that impossible, because they want to take her back permanently.
‘We are never going to let that happen. She is family and families don’t just give up on each other. They have no blood link to her. They have no right to her and if you ask me, their lawyer needs to tell them to shut their mouths.’
The family member also revealed McCaul has been in prison for an armed robbery as well as transporting a gun across state lines. But she defended him saying: ‘John got into trouble when he was a kid, I’m not going to deny that.
‘But the robbery was not his fault. He told some guys how to do a robbery, but he wasn’t with them when they did it.
‘It was the same with the gun charge. He was running a security firm and he wasn’t allowed to have a gun. A woman was in his car and she had one, but it wasn’t in a holster, so as it was in her car, he was charged.
‘But he has served his time and has straightened up. He just wants to start a new life with his daughter.’
McCaul was in court in Tennessee on Friday after the Hodgins petitioned to have her returned to them on Sonya’s best interest.
The family adopted her in 2008, but a Tennessee appeals court overturned that after McCaul was released from prison.
In a recording of a phone call made on January 30 this year, a day after Sonya was moved from Dickson County to Omaha, she can be heard asking for her adoptive parents to take her back.
‘What did you say, baby doll?’ Mrs Hodgin can be heard asking in a recording of the phone call obtained by CNN.
‘I want to you to come and get me’, the young girl responds.
During the phone call, the last time the Hodgins spoke to her, Sonya also describes her biological father’s home as ‘dirty, with mold and cigarettes everywhere,’ and although the man is ‘nice’ to her, the home lacks clean water.
Convicted felon: Sonya has no memory of her father Josh McCaul, left, but a court still ruled she should live with him
The Hodgins say they were given just three hours’ notice before the young girl was taken from them.
‘Sonya’s crying her eyes out. Screaming bloody murder, “Please don’t let them do this, Daddy, please, Mama, don’t let ’em take me,”,’ Mr Hodgin told CNN.
‘They took her bags, and that’s the last that I’ve seen her,’ Mrs Hodgin adds.
McCaul had been awarded custody of his infant daughter in 2004 after Sonya’s mother gave up her rights.
However, she has been living with the Hodgins since 2006 and they were able to adopt Sonya after McCaul pleaded guilty to transporting firearms and was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison.
This automatically terminated his parental rights as Tennessee state law does not allow anyone incarcerated for more than ten years to have rights to a child under the age of eight.
But his sentence was shortened to just eight years and he was able to retain it upon his release from prison after claiming his parental rights were illegally terminated.
