• Greenpoint's McGuinness Boulevard: "Death Boulevard"
    A little over two weeks ago, I was hit by a car while crossing Greenpoint's McGuinness Boulevard en route home. Last night, a friend shared a photograph online of ambulances parked on McGuinness where a pedestrian had been struck and killed by two cars -- just two blocks from where I had been hit. I was very lucky. 32-year-old Nicole Detweiler was not. With nearby schools, increases to Greenpoint's population, and cyclists, McGuinness Boulevard needs speed and security cameras to be installed as soon as possible to hold speeding drivers accountable for their dangerous actions.

  • Parental Alienation Is The Same As Child Abuse
    This petition is intended to influence all 50 U.S. States and the District of Columbia. I am a U.S. Air Force Desert Storm Veteran who currently serves in the U.S Air Force Reserves. This is my TRUTH. Jaelen and Faith Edge are my children. They were alienated from me for almost eight years. During that time I got incarcerated in a U.S. jail FOR PAYING child support, mislead into supervised visitation, judicially ROBBED of my savings and courtroom ALIENATED from my children. I had only petitioned the Cobb County Georgia Superior Court for a divorce and regular visitation of my autistic son and toddler daughter. Jaelen and Faith Edge were later murdered by their mother AFTER a Superior Court Judge called Marilyn Kay Woody-Edge a Parental Alienator and then REFUSED to give me full custody of my children or incarcerate her. I received FULL CUSTODY of my children from a California funeral home. Despite my best efforts to be a part of my children’s lives, I ended up being portrayed as a deadbeat dad who had deserted his children. A deadbeat dad who did not pay child support and should be locked away; A deadbeat dad who could not properly care for his autistic son without special training; A deadbeat dad who needed to be supervised by a Parental Supervision Service; A deadbeat dad who was good enough to serve his country but not good enough to be a part of his children’s lives. In years before filing for a divorce I had spent regular quality time with both of my children. I did my best to give them a good active childhood. I maintained a military security clearance, attended college part time and worked a decent job. I had never been accused of domestic violence, I had never been incarcerated and I had not needed supervision to be able to spend time with my children. Within the first year of my notifying Marilyn of my intent to divorce her all of that changed. Marilyn Woody had deserted our marriage almost three years prior to me filing for a divorce. The reason I decided to divorce was because there was no opportunity to repair our relationship and due to her families influence she and I could not agree on how best to rear my autistic son. She thought there was a magic cure for Autism and her family supported her in that. I did not believe that there was any cure for Autism and I only wanted to mitigate my son’s autism with speech, logic and physical type therapies. Marilyn had expressed her interest to take my son for alternative therapies and I disagreed. I later asked for a divorce after I discovered that she had charged up my equity line of credit and a credit card at an alternative medicine clinic. After asking for the divorce Marilyn almost immediately started making excuses to keep me from spending time with my son or daughter alone. She first started making ultimatums that she come to my home or on trips for overnight visits with the children. Although I wasn’t comfortable with the idea I thought it best to just go along with it to spend time with my children. I loved my children and at that point I would have compromised for them. However the compromise was short lived. The time apart helped me to see many things. I started to see her as spoiled and selfish. I did not see her in the same light that had brought us together. I did not want to pursue any relationship with her other than being friends for the betterment of my children. Marilyn was glossing over the fact that I had asked for a divorce so I told her a second time. Thereafter she immediately stopped my son from having overnight visits with me and started trying to persuade my daughter the same. The difference between the two children’s response to Marilyn’s early attempts to isolate or brainwash them; was that my daughter could verbally express exactly what she wanted and my son could not because he was nonverbal. I had strong bonds with both of my children. By the time they could walk they had spent a lot of time with me and done a lot of things with me. They knew that I was supposed to be with them and vice versa. My son like all children his age wanted his mom and dad to be together whereas my daughter had always known us not to live together. Jaelen was easily persuaded by his mom Faith was not. Before the alienation Jaelen had spent a lot of time hanging out with me. We took road trips to the beach, I pushed him around in his kettle car, we fished, played video games, and had a great time together. Every time Jaelen would see me I could see that he wanted so badly to leave with me. Marilyn made Jaelen’s efforts to leave his grandparents home so dramatic that he began to choose the path of least disappointment. For example Jaelen would crawl up into my truck look around for a bit before waving for his mom to come with us and if she did not come to the vehicle, he would kiss his sister, hug me and go back into the house. The one thing that I could always count on is that when I came to see Jaelen that he would be waiting at the window for me to play with him and that he would run to the window to watch me drive away. I wanted so much for him to just say, “I’m going with my dad!” I never forced him to come with me because I knew it had to be his decision and I did not want to add tension to my relationship with Marilyn or her family. I just went with Jaelen’s flow if he wanted to play ball we played ball, if he wanted to play with remote control cars we played with remote control cars, if he wanted to wrestle we wrestled. I always played with Jaelen to his heart’s content no matter how much time it took to make him happy. When he was tired I would leave and come back the next day to play with him more. I wanted him to know that everything with him and I was going to be okay even if he didn’t choose to spend overnight visits with me and his sister. I was so tired of arguing by that time, so tired of being threatened by her families bogus complaints, so tired of the back and forth wi...

  • CONJUGAL VISITS
    My husband is incarcerated at a Mississippi Correctional Facility, which will lose conjugal visits after February 1, 2014. This is one of the few things couples have to look forward to while their spouse is incarcerated. This is a privilege that should not be taken away from people who are married or people who plan to get married while incarcerated. Conjugal visits should be kept in the prison systems for the sake of marriages and families. Update!!!! Please pass this information on to family and friends. Hi everyone, I have been contacted by some of you through email with concerns about the petition and the possible outcome in our fight against the end of conjugal visits here in the Mississippi prison system. Well I was contacted by Mrs. Muscolino, who stated in an email that we need to grow in number, this is very true. Mrs. Muscolino is the Director of Mississippi Advocates for Prisoners. Today she sent out an email which stated that if petition signers can sign up with us we will be a force to reckon with and we can make a greater impact at each of the scheduled events. To sign up text: @missadv to the number 662-736-1826. I have also included information on how to contact the directors of MAP (Mississippi Advocates for Prisoners). If you have not already joined M.A.P, we encourage you to please do so. There is a text alert system that has been put in place so that everyone can be easily contacted, all members will be contacted at one time to be updated with what is going on, I have also included the email addresses to people who have developed groups to help us. Mrs. Muscolino (601)633-9346 [email protected] [email protected]

  • Utah Judge Kunz's Court is Accepting False DUIs - Investigation is Imperative.
    My son is in custody for over two months on a bogus DUI and is being represented by an incompetent public defender who did not show up at the hearing, who has ignored his phone calls and who has advised him not to have a jury trial even though he wanted to. Blood results show "negative" for blood alcohol. DUIs destroy lives, being compelled to face incompetent attorneys over bogus DUIs is a problem I have found out not only faces my son. Investigation of DUIs at West Jordan and other places in imperative.

  • Repeal Cannabis Prohibition
    The social and economic benefits of legal cannabis would be enormous. Millions of tax dollars could be saved from no longer incarcerating people for doing no more than our last three presidents themselves admitted to doing but was laughed off as if it was actually funny. We do not find it amusing in the least. If you deny people from using something that makes them feel better, then YOU are the criminal. Cannabis does not meet the criteria for it to be a Schedule 1 Controlled Substance. It does not even meet the criteria for it to be called a drug. You work for us and you are to do what we wish for you to do. You represent the people of Kansas, and the people have spoken.
