Sparks (1980).

The Defendants and each of them acted individually and jointly under color of state law to deprive and in conspiring to deprive the Plaintiffs of their civil rights.  Because the Defendants acted knowingly, recklessly and in disregard of well-established law, agency guidelines and regulations, with no objectively reasonable basis for their actions, they do not have qualified immunity from damages under the standards set forth by the United States Supreme Court, the United States Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, and by this Court.  Judicial immunity is defeated with respect to the FOUR Defendant District Court Judges when, “though judicial in nature,” their acts were “taken in complete absence of jurisdiction,” Mireles v. Waco (1991).  Attorney immunity with respect to the Defendant court appointed attorneys is defeated since attorney immunity for intentional harm to one’s client (Plaintiffs – ALL) was never so protected at common law, Tower v. Glover (1984).

    Congradulations Mr. & Mrs. Reale on beating a corrupt system
    I have been reading your story and was disgusted at how the system hurt your family it is sad to say but even still to this day the system is corrupt in every state and most in cases where the parents have not neglected their children or abused them they are still taken in to custody by the state and either forced into foster care or placed in adoption. I no or one man who fought for his child and completed all taskes given to him and decided him self to do more. He also became a certified foster care worker and is also able to be an adoptive parent but the system in ct still said he the father is high risk of getting into trouble with the law. That was 4 years ago they closed the case and placed his son then of 5 yrs of age up for adoption This father yes did have a couple of arrest in his life time and even one judge directed then to not bring up his arrest record again because he did his time. So by the end of the case that judge was not in office for the case and another judge presided And he lost his child in the state of ct
    It is so over look in the system that yes these workers are just out to make money how do they have the right to say they no best or that they love our children more. They don’t and guide lines Need to be set or this system will keep on commiting murder yes murder by way of killing some people’s will to live by leaving parents broken for sometimes no accusations at all just because they want to. So to see your family win it may give hope to those parents who are still fighting for their kids today. Thank you for sharing your story

  3. Mr. Reale —
    A person who runs a large message forum board in Pennsylvania to expose court (and other) corruption forwarded me your email. MANY parts of it I can identify with, although my case is different. I hear your outrage, but am interested to read the federal complaint — which is coming up blank (as are several other links). Can you email me, or respond here, with an “html” which I could post in to read.

    I do not want to post identifying traits here, but because of my having studied this field for years (I lost kids overnight, improperly, and without remedy also) and in several states — particularly our nicely corrupt California (San Diego & Riverside County are home to many corrupt cases) — perhaps there is something I could point you to.

    In reading your website, I am going to skip over the inflammatory material, consider hearsay anything which looks like hearsay (i.e., no supporting documents posted), however credible it sounds, and see if I can point to any leverage that may help you and wife. Also helpful to know that it’s not common and (assuming DV was false allegations, which I’m picking up on), the “crimes” you have committed include exercising your right to homeschool (which provides competition for that monopoly), and having 7 wonderful kids that the state didn’t have its hands on.

    My case involved real, and nearly lethal domestic violence, and the setup for such cases includes the pingpong — one is let out with a restraining order, but then bounced back in through family court. Family courts are business franchises, only funded with tax dollars.

    They are NOT run by the VAWA industry, but by a parallel and equally large “reunification”-theory, i.e., fatherhood and marriage promotion. Whenever someone mentions VAWA with anger, I know they are failing to mention the equally large Healthy Marriage/Responsible Fatherhood industry, which diverts money from TANF block grants to states (i.e., welfare/child support) to programming. See federal database at http://TAGGS.hhs.gov These have created the kangaroo courts you protest — they talk about out-come based results to perpetuate the grants, etc. (See my blog, esp. posts from January 2011).

    If you think you have it rough — and you do — please study the “Godboldo” case from Wayne County Michigan, which I learned about yesterday, where a single, African-American mother with a disabled child stood off CPS with SWAT Team home invasion, apparently with TANKS too! They got (and drugged) her teenaged daughter; she’d turned down Risperdal, which was her “crime.” Charged with felony, daughter put in an institution, facilitated by a family court judge and under invalid orders. She finally got her daughter back, only recently and got felony charges dropped, with community support and reporting. The prosecutor — not having real crime to prosecute in the area? is appealing. In this process, her separated husband was also grilled on the stand, and stood by her; it’s all in the record.

    Some details here:
    Scranton (PA) Political Times/Grand Jury Investigating (local GAL)? -posts linking to Wayne County, MI case. Excellent reporting by Voice of Detroit connected the dots to clinical trials of drugs enabled by local “community mental health” or “child family center” type outfits.

    Our court case was prolonged over 10 years, and I experienced many of the same violations of rules of court, laws (my case had an UNprosecuted felony child-stealing act), and contempt of court issues, judges giving testimony, judges cross-examining when it was my privilege to do so, unnecessary extra court-appointed personnel in case, crooked court-appointed mediators and such. Much of this is enabled by the 1996 switch from “AFDC” to block grants to states for welfare — and the loopholes for crooks and extortioners (working through courts and gov’t agencies) this enables.

    Please don’t characterize all DV issues as false allegations, or minimize them. This is a serious issue, which I know firsthand, and religious families no better than agnostic in that matter. It’s about control and domination.

    I also believe you’d enjoy the site JAIL4judges.org and it’d show you why judicial complaint commissions are a whitewash as intended.

    I hope things work out. If you are willing to send or post the html for the civil complaint, and if I have anything to offer that may provide some leverage, I will post. However, it’d be most helpful to post a bulleted outline (versus narrative) of case actions, if expecting others to help (particularly for free). We are all overwhelmed with this, and the easier it is to read, the better (not that my blog illustrates this).

    Also, if you are an executive director of “Exposing the Record” and collecting donations, are you registered as a corp. or nonprofit in NC? Recommended…. and from what I understand, that’s the law. Check out the registrations of any organizations among the 32 defendants in the lawsuit, if have not yet. (See my blog).

    It’s hard while you are fighting your own case to see the bigger picture, but this is where remedies are likely to show up. I couldn’t see it til I’d lost everything, including all contact with children AND my work life.

    You have a narrative of being handcuffed and led out of the courtroom straight to the ATM to give money to the court. It’s not clear whether this was for “bail” or “child support” or what — however it’d be better to scan in that transcript than relate yourself. To all outsiders, it’s hearsay. If your wife is completely on the same page, has she put up a blog also, or been ordered not to? That would also lend credibility, which might affect support from strangers and others. Calling her sister “mentally deranged” doesn’t, whether or not it’s true.

    Looking forward to a response.

      Sorry about the links. I will update the link to the Federal Action (it has changed since I originally posted). Let me know what other specific docs are BLANK and I will address those too. Ron

  4. Pamela McClarnon says:

    Do you still live here in NC. And if so please get in touch with me.
    Thank you ! Pamela

  5. Rebecca Dye says:

    Ron,

    Will be also filing a civil rights constitutional deprivation suit, since the courts through their so called elected servants have acted under color of law and without any jurisdiction to state that DSS does not allow my son to have any contact with anyone or to call since he walked away and is competent being held by aggravated felony kidnapping. Time to get the show on the air. IT’S SHOW TIME.

    If anyone knows of an attorney who would, as pro bono, and an honest attorney with backbone to fight corruption, as their is no litigation to be heard and I have the certified files needed to send to them, file a writ of prohibition, a writ of supersedeas and a temporary supersedeas order to stay the falsified criminal action and three years probation in excess of the law, please let me know at my email, catwomandye@gmail.com or call me at 704-433-0601.

  6. takeresponsibility says:

    What happened to your law suit. You were late on your response and tried to lie about it. It is being thrown out, it needs to be. Are you really trying to make people believe that all of these people got together against you and your family, from the governor on down. You should really admit your fault in all of this and stop blaming everyone else. You did it and you know it. You are not an expert on any of these matters. You are not even close to being an expert in this field. I hear that sam club has a sale on aluminium foil. You need to buy by the truckload.

    • My Kids Dad says:

      Which Lawsuit are you referring to. We have one pending with 9 Plaintiffs (My wife and I, along with our 7 children as Plaintiffs) against 73 Defendants, another similar suit against 36 so-called professionals (therapists, social workers, their insurance carriers, Etc.) for mal-practice and other related charges seeking damages and the forfeiture of their license to practice in their field (will be completed, filed and served very soon), and a Qui Tam (whistle-blower) action against the State of North Carolina and other County Governments and agencies for FRAUD (receiving Federal Funds fraudulently from the Federal Government – Title IV Funds), also to be completed, filed and served very soon?

      Are you a friend of the Judge? You make it seem as if you have an inside track on these matters. I’ll have my investigators look into it. I’m sure you’re just spouting off more rhetoric but I’m happy to find out. Because the last I checked, the Federal District Court Judge (James Dever III, in this case) must make the final decision on all matters pertaining to our Federal Action pertaining to Section 1983 for Deprivation of rights.

      To clarify, the initial filing of the Federal Action for Deprivation of Rights does not allege that “all these people got together against … our family,” but rather alleges that each of the individuals at some point and time, CONSPIRED with Wake County Human Services, aka CPS (and others), to deprive our family of our rights under the Constitution. That’s as simple as it gets. Yes, this includes the Governor of the State as she has certain direct responsibilities (appointing Judges, State Budge allocation for the funds in question, and many other duties), and because she was notified of the alleged acts of deprivation and did NOTHING (did not even look into it). Our Federal Action does not allege that I am an expert in any field as you seem to declare in opposition more than once in your comments.

      Your comment declares “you did it and you know it.” I did what? First of all the Fraudulent Abuse, Neglect, and Dependency case in Wake County (which is what brings rise to our Federal Action) was filed against both my wife and I. Second, the adjudication was for NEGLECT, albeit UNSUBSTANTIATED. there was NEVER any SUBSTANTIATED or even ALLEGED ABUSE!!! So, based on your comments in totality I assume that is your assertion (that I abused my children). Well, try again. You see this is another area where you so ignorantly expose yourself and your TRUE agenda. Since I know who you are, and since I know you already know the facts of this case, I also know your agenda with these comments is to “react” EMOTIONALLY to our family’s own pursuit of justice. In a nut shell, you do not like the website, you do not like my own personal comments, you do not like the fact that I ran for office last term (and that I will run again), that I have set out to bring this entire system to it’s knees (OK, a bit of rhetoric of my own), and most of all THAT OUR FAMILY WILL NOT JUST LIE DOWN AND TAKE IT, AND THAT WE WON’T JUST TUCK OUR TAILS BETWEEN OUR LEGS AND RUN…

      I know this goes without saying, but you are PATHETIC! FYI, since I know you have my number (it has not changed) I will be happy to discuss with you anytime by phone if you like. Or you can keep coming to this site like the imbecile you are. Think about what you are doing for a second… Who do you think comes to this site? The answer is, people like me who are under attack by the same corrupt system. You are just feeding (more accurately, proving my points) the rage in most of the folks who visit this site and other sites like this one. OK with me. In fact, I should say thank you!

      Happy trails in North Carolina, Oregon, or wherever you may find yourself this week…

    • Jason Shupe says:

      Maybe you should look at your own heading. “takeresponsibility” That’s what you need to do. I have had only a little interaction with this fellow devil dog and from what we have talked about he has gone through alot of what i have gone through. I too was falsly accused found to be innocent but the state of North Caroline DSS had no problems as 3 judges put it in a court order ” kidnapped” my 2 children. is that simple enough for you? KIDNAPPED!!!! put them in foster care for over 2 years and even when a judge would say return the kids they would and the iceing on the cake is they came after me and my wife for child support. so before you rant and rave you liberal moron go vote for your dictator again ok. There are changes comming so that families get the rights to be a family and legal process is upheald. The stories you read on here are true and accurate. you want proof come at me bro i dare you. I have had social workers put in jail, i have had social workers DEPORTED yes deported. I support ron and his family 1,000,000,000% and am on the same track as them. I would say i could just make a phone call and have your kids taken away from you for years but i wont come down to your hippie peace loving trash way of life. RON FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!! Semper Fi

  7. Kevin Kinney says:

    To all that read this,

    This corruption in our courts and agencies that act in the “best interest of our children”, have a agenda to destroy families. Families are the wealth of our nation and if your keeping up on current events, these courts and agencies are destroying themselves. Tax dollars drive this corrupt system and it is broke!
    If the counties and the states want to rely on our federal government for funding, good luck. Our federal government is destroyed financially and is afraid to tell its own citizens that we already went over the “fiscal cliff”. We will see this very soon.
    In my county, Contra Costa, 6 judges were laid off in December along with some 30 staff positions, 3 courts were closed all due to budgetary reasons. The game is over people, and the system is caving in on itself!
    I am glad there are people like Ron and Debra to help nudge these corrupt judges, social workers and the whole support team of injustice over the cliff. Most people wouldn’t have the ability and perseverance to expose the truth of this evil which exists in our communities. I respect you!
    This system will end itself I assure you in time!
    Good luck and never give up!

    • I looked some of this up. As you know there has been a lot of outcry over the court closures overall.

      This San Diego article shows they didn’t scrub the car allowance of over $574/month for judges (San Diego) and $250 (Contra Costa).
      Judges Keep Car Perks: Despite enormous cutbacks, Superior Court maintains over $1 million in vehicle allowances
      In the switch (1997? coinciding with welfare reform) from having states not counties pay the judges, some counties (Los Angeles is another one) ended up continuing to pay their judges perks, which makes a difference, evidently when going up against the county in any action a Judge is going to rule on… Conflict of interest much?):

      The California budget crisis has trickled down to the local justice level, with the San Diego County court looking to make up a $33-million shortfall in what had been a $190-million budget. The court was ordered to drain its rainy-day reserves—roughly $22 million—leaving $11 million left to slice in the coming fiscal year, with even bigger cuts predicted in the next cycles.

      The talk is all CUTS. That’s about cash flow; what they don’t talk about what’s sitting off-budget in all the other funds the public is not supposed to think about, so they can be horsewhipped into service cuts and tax increases…

      As fall arrives, the court has begun shutting down outlying courtrooms, shortening hours, laying off some employees and furloughing others. // But the Superior Court did not cut one line item: nearly $1 million per year in transportation allowances set aside for judges and executive managers. // San Diego judges each receive $572 per month ($6,864 annually) in car stipends, while the presiding judge, assistant presiding judge and supervising judges each collect $674 per month ($8,088 annually). // Between the 126 current judges, that’s $903,427 per year in vehicle allowances. Nine administrators collected a combined $59,472 per year, bringing the figure to $962,899. Another $8,281 was reimbursed for out-of-county travel. // The 24-year-old practice is particular to San Diego County as a carryover from when the county government paid for the courts and the benefit was tied to the Board of Supervisors’ compensation package. Now, the state funds the court, and there’s no mandate from Sacramento to provide these vehicle allowances.

      Also note about who determines such budgets:

      Superior Court judge salaries— $178,789 per year—are protected by the state Constitution, and the number of judges is set by the state Legislature. They can’t be laid off, furloughed or have their salaries cut. The judges also control the budgeting process at the county level.

      The budget-reduction plan for the next two years, according to a Superior Court spokesperson, was developed by an ad hoc budget committee, which was then approved by the court’s executive committee. Both committees are made up of judges.

      Closing down courtrooms means more centralization, which means whoever’s presiding judge (etc.) has more power. Then again, why’d they build so many courtrooms to start with? Watch where the real estate goes, and at what price. Same deal I’m sure in North Carolina. I’m telling ya’, Mr. Neale, want some clout, start looking up these things in re: your case. they don’t like exposure. I’ve been exposing such things (or similar) for four years in California…. The public needs to get on the stick about this. That car allowance could’ve fed a few children.

  8. Kevin — we are in the same county. Let’s talk. (are you a real estate agent, I saw one listed)….

    I see I posted about a year ago (above), however, also twice yesterday and today.

    Listing of 2008 Contra Costa County Employees is huge. This County would have more sales and income tax from me in the past several years if they had done something when my children were stolen, and a little more concerned about enforcing child support (father in another county, so that’s hardly cutting down on the local income).

    There’s an incentive to simply divert money from private hands into programming, in my opinion. The system isn’t broke — just individuals. There’s plenty of government income around, however, they keep most of the wealth off the “budget” section.

    What Carl Herman here is pointing out as to Calif. in general is true of all government entities — they all have CAFRs which conceal where the wealth is. This wealth came from prior public investment to accumulate the assets, which then are invested to produce returns — which say in government control for the most part.

    There’s massive coverup of this, and of course I’m offended. I’ve been forced three times back onto welfare/begging from the constant pressure put on the public to think we are collectively broke. We may be as individuals — but our states, counties, and school districts are not, neither is “The United States of America.” The bankrupcty is of understanding economics. We can change that by starting our own learning curve.

    If the only source of income is jobs (or child support), then those who have other soruces of income (assets that put off enough to live on, or who know how to invest, buy & sell businesses and property etc.) collectively, will run the place. Right now, that type of private equity (including from “philanthropy,” i.e., privately controlled but astoundingly wealth foundations) is actually driving government, which is going to listen to them, not us. Please read my lips: Even if we boycotted paying taxes (which i’m not recommending), there’d still be enough to keep operations going and these operations obviously still include trafficking our kids, and the prison system, etc.

    I do hope to hear from you, post a comment on my blog or something, I’m local; would you like to talk about any of this? I didn’t know Contra Costa was layinug off judges and closing courtrooms, but then again, I’ve not had a good experience in either court, or with law enforcement, in this county since I moved here a decade ago. Primarily it’s been an experience of consistent, and dramatic losses which couldn’t have otherwise occurred — without the courts, and without unenforceable court orders.
