Help Wanted in California

 

Posted February 7, 2011 

 

I, Connie Bedwell, resident of Placer County California, am in a huge battle to save my five-year-old child, Aaliyah, from her physically and sexually abusive father Dustin Thompson.

  

Aaliyah has played games of murder, death, hitting, kicking, and killing her “dead” toys while hiding mommies and babies to be safe because on multiple occasions Dustin Thompson has threatened to murder both of us because she disclosed his sexual abuse of her. He sent her home in 2008 singing to a happy tune, “Aaliyah, Aaliyah your mommy is dead.”

 

Dustin has also threatened to murder me two weeks before my due date with Aaliyah. When Aaliyah started to disclose who was hurting her pee pee, her daddy, Dustin brainwashed her and convinced her he was a “parrot” so it would confuse authorities that a “parrot” was molesting her.

 

Aaliyah has made statements of him sticking his one-eyed hairy worm in her mouth, that it hurts her tongue, tastes yucky, makes her gag, how she has to tell the worm “don’t! stop!” and how her daddy has to wipe her mouth with a napkin. She has also stated her father wants to have a baby with her and that his worm ‘tries to look big.’ You can hear in the video where Aaliyah further describes his brainwashing her of his worm and how he took her to the store to see worms and babies to confuse her.

 

 

Placer county threatened me to stop reporting the abuse or they’d take my child. Which they did on July 3rd, 2008.  

Currently, Placer County has NOT let me see or hear from, nor contact my daughter in TWO WHOLE YEARS to punish me for speaking out about the TRUTH about my daughter’s disclosures and the illegal orders made in my case.

I refuse to succumb to their threats to be silent and threats of throwing me in jail when they are in the wrong for putting my daughter’s life in danger.

Sergeant Pecoraro was the head detective on our case which was opened early 2008 after Aaliyah came home with bruises on her back and forehead and disclosed her daddy had kicked her in the back and flew into a table bonking her head. Auburn Police department turned me away when I brought the “daddy’s worm” video to them on June 10, 2008.

They put Aaliyah back in the child molesters home that same day for 5 days to be brainwashed about the abuse again by the child molester in which she came back stating one lined statements mocking like a bird, “I love daddy’s worm” “mommy makes me say these things.” They FINALLY did an MDIC interview weeks later from the date she disclosed “daddy’s worm.” Darrel Payne, another witness had called Pecoraro to see why he hadn’t contacted my witnesses or watch the “daddy’s worm” video 5 months into the supposed investigation. If Pecoraro would have “immediately” investigated as he should have when given reports of Dustin’s heinous crimes and immediately protected the victim from the perpetrator, the results would have been completely different. But instead he placed my child in the molesters home again to be brainwashed before her MDIC interview.

Pecoraro lied to the Auburn Journal about how he “immediately” handled my case. Darrel Payne can attest to the conversation with Pecoraro and his witness letter can be found on www.SaveAaliyah.com.

At present, the Placer County DA is attempting to “criminally” prosecute me for speaking out to the public and press about what they are doing to my daughter and I. Some of the malicious frivolous case was put together by none other than Sergeant Pecoraro whom has much need to silence me for what he has done. Their “evidence” is 501 pages of my speaking out on the Internet and radio. Many of the printouts consist the information on the SaveAaliyah.comwebsite.

They are using an illegal protective order violating my freedom of speech and preventing me from posting on the Internet. They are using penal code 273.6 a on 3 counts.

My lawyer has been on all of my cases, family law, civil and criminal and we have filed a demur for the county violating my freedom of speech. We are currently going on my 12th criminal hearing, I have yet to enter a plea given they are violating my freedom of speech.

All of the placer county judges have recently recused themselves, most likely having realized the lawsuit they’ve created against themselves.

I’ve also taken a polygraph with an examiner outside of Placer County regarding Dustin Thompson’s lies and false allegations against me. The test included a number of statements Aaliyah had said about him molesting her and his physical abuse towards both she and I. I passed the entire polygraph with ZERO deception. The results are on the documentation page of http://www.SaveAaliyah.com/. Please visit and share the site.

I’m asking everyone to please help expose the corruption, lies, and cover ups of placer county in order to get my daughter out of her physically and sexually abusive father’s home by continually forwarding this letter to authorities and all media outlets.

Sincerely,

Protective Mother

I would like to give you a brief synopsis of my life over the last few years.

When my ex husband, a resident of Sacramento County asked me for a divorce, it was a long time coming as we had been separated during 2002/2003 and moved back in together for an additional tumultuous 5 years. 

I had endured verbal, psychological and financial abuse so that my daughters could have a “family” for as long as possible. My ex husband had an assortment of friends, male and female who my children could associate with but from whom I was kept separate- he also vacationed often without “us”.

I filed for divorce immediately as I knew that there would be an uncertain and unbearable fight. I was mostly a stay at home mom to my children as well as to his daughter from a previous marriage.

I remarried a man who serves our country in the United States Army. He is wonderful to my daughters and wanted to ensure that I at least had insurance and the girls were covered as well so that I would not be buried in medical bills.

My husband was stationed in California at the time and we visited during his 4 day leave periods during the month. Let me state that my ex and I have no family in California and we moved there for his job in which he makes over $100k per year. My husband has family and was from the Central Valley area.

In 2009, my husband received orders to move to Louisiana and I informed my ex as well as the attorneys and the mediator at the time. There was a CPS investigation going on in regards to my ex husband which he admitted “walking around naked” in front of my girls and yelling at them. Nothing became of the investigation because apparently he didn’t mean any harm.

My daughters were uncomfortable and now my older daughter has been labeled a liar because the charges were dropped. A reminder, my ex admitted doing this repeatedly as well as other items during a mediation appointment.

Nothing was done to protect my children. Because of this investigation, I was ordered to remain in California during the period in which the matter could be cleared up. My husband and household goods were moved to Louisiana and because the mediator and lawyers dragged their feet on any kind of decision, I was forced to leave my children and move.

Many people have asked why I left and that they would have never left. In part, I agree, however, these people don’t pay my legal fees nor do they pay my rent or any other living expenses. My living in a ghetto while my ex lived in the $450k+ community property home would not have helped my ability to keep my children in the environment that they were used to.

I had permission from the court to take the girls to Louisiana for my two week, uninterrupted parenting time. When I returned my daughters, my ex husband went to court and convinced the judge that I would kidnap the children and that I needed to have supervised visitation during my visits with them.

My children, husband and I were devastated with the act of alienation from my ex husband. My main goal was and still is to figure out how to share the children and his stance has been that the children are residents of the state of California and refuses to let them see me.

My older daughter is old enough to speak to the presiding judge in this case per the rules of the Court and my former lawyer, the mediator and the following evaluator have all rejected that idea.

My former lawyer failed to inform me of the court date when my ex husband pleaded with the judge to rule for supervised visitation. Also during that court date, the legal fees that I had been petitioning for under the Family Code 2030 were also reversed.

I have email correspondence in which he takes full responsibility for the missed court appointment but then never filed any motions to dismiss those rulings.

My ex drinks in front of my children and constantly drops them off with friends and has even given them to a woman who has had a molestation conviction. I never put my children in harm’s way and yet because of state lines and my husband’s military service, I have been condemned to watch my children become shells of the children that I knew a year ago.

He gets away with these things because CPS won’t do anything to protect my children and getting the paperwork getting in front of a judge is nerve wracking and opposing counsel takes full advantage that I’m learning California law on my own. Opposing counsel is openly demeaning towards me.

I come from a military family. My father served in the Air Force and both of my grandfathers served in the Army and Air Force. It is disheartening to me that because of my decision to marry a soldier who has sworn an oath to defend this country, who has been deployed and will most likely be deployed again, has given the last 5/6yrs dedicating his life to uphold the rights and protect the very laws that are now being used against us and now we have been punished and had my children taken from us.

Sincerely,
Mother in Louisiana, daughters in California
