The reason we want to bring this to the public's attention is Placer County has taken child Aaliyah Bedwell from her mother without a single legal cause. Not only did they take her from her fully capable protective mother they placed her with her sexually and physically abusive father full time. Dustin Thompson, the father has a sealed record of assault and battery, a history of domestic violence, has been on court ordered alcohol testing along with supervised visitation and was granted full custody of Aaliyah after she disclosed his sexual and physical abuse of her. Aaliyah was placed full time with her father after many people have reported the disclosures of abuse and bruises Aaliyah would come home with from her fathers house.

The Placer County DA is ignorantly and maliciously trying to prosecute Connie Bedwell for using her freedom of speech posting on the internet. They are attempting to charge her with CA Penal Code 273.6 A on three counts that read as this:
(a) Any intentional and knowing violation of a protective order, as defined in Section 6218 of the Family Code, or of an order issued pursuant to Section 527.6, 527.8, or 527.85 of the Code of Civil Procedure, or Section 15657.03 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than one year, or by both that fine and imprisonment.
Placer County allowed the abuser Dustin Thompson to put an unconstitutional Restraining Order on Ms Bedwell with absolutely no legal cause. This unconstitutional order prohibits Ms Bedwell from posting on the internet which violates her constitutional rights. The down line of Placer County morons have passed these illegal actions as far as to the DA's office for prosecution. You would have thought the judge on the Family law case would have caught the fact that this R.O. is unconstitutional. Then you would have thought the police department would have been intelligent enough to realize sending a stack of internet postings to the DA's office to prosecute someone for talking is a violation of ones freedom of speech. Next you would have thought that the DA's office would have looked at it and thought to themselves that they could be sued for malicious prosecution and violation of Ms Bedwell's God given right to speak if they further proceeded with such an illegal action. They have consistently tried to take away Ms Bedwell's God given right all for one reason, they putt her child with a child molester. If prosecuting Ms Bedwell for speaking doesn't say enough for Placer County's guilt in wrong doing here then why else would they need to silence her?
The emotional, physical, mental damage to the child done by Placer County and her molesting abusive father and grandfather will cost them along with the damage they have done to her mother. The County hasn't let Aaliyah and Connie see one another for approximately two years, imagine the damage that would do to a young child that was solely raised the first part of her life only by her mother. They gave her child to the father who isn't even listed on the birth certificate. Not only has Placer caused grave damage, they continually violate the civil rights of this child and mother on no legal grounds whatsoever. Placer County is now two and a half months into the malicious criminal case. Ms Bedwell hasn't had to enter a plea yet, her attorney has filed a demur but it seems Placer County is dragging this case out as long as possible which the mothers attorney believes is better for her. Perhaps her suit at the end will be worth more for all the legal fees and wasted time they have drug her through while she has done nothing but try to protect her child. The next hearing is to be heard on November 17th and we most definitely will keep the public updated.
We ask our readers to be proactive in this case and bombard the judges, attorney general, governor, media outlets and any attorney's willing to help with a major lawsuit against Placer County not only for this mother but the numerous coming forward suffering the same illegalities from Placer County.
My child has been taken away from me as well by Placer County. I left my abuser and now I'm being labeled as crazy and a liar for claiming abuse. Even after Commissioner Amara found my ex guilty of child and spousal abuse, he questions me about continued abuse. He is trying to cover up his horrific mistakes by making me out to be the bad guy. I know he's feeling the pressure. At my last hearing, a bailiff commented that he'd "burn this place down (Auburn courthouse)" if his child was put with an abuser. Get a clue Amara! You are just as guilty as my ex.
ReplyDeletemy children have been removed from me as well they were placed in a permanent guardianship with my mother because I was in an abusive relationship. I have since left him and it has been two years now they still will not give me my children back because they say there is a chance I might get back together with him!! ya right i'm in a new relationship for two years now and couldn't be happier I will win my fight to get my kids back. and hopefully everyone else in these situations will too. penny i hope you have trouble sleeping at night cause you have helped ruin four wonderful kids lives for two years.
