RE: Saturday School Fraud and Continued Strategy of Parental Alienation and ChildAbuse

Dear Mr. Goss

On Thursday, September 20, 2012 I received an email from your office indicating thatmy daughter, Olivia Bowerman, was required to attend Saturday School during myvisitation time on Saturday, September 22nd from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM as adisciplinary matter determined by administrators at her school.

I responded to the notification as requested, directly to you in person in Department 14of the Stanislaus County Courthouse on Friday, September 21st and inquired as towhether Mr. Bowerman would be paying for my lodgings on Friday evening as his

management of my daughter and her schooling was causing a direct hardship for myvisitation with my children Elizabeth and Olivia. Visitation was to begin on Fridayevening with the inherent hardships described aptly in Jan Trines email to me on the20th. You quite clearly stated in response to my request that Mr. Bowerman would notprovide financial resources.

The problems with Mr. Bowermans actions and the conduct of your office in this matterare blatant and voluminous. As a matter of clarity, I will enumerate each issue;

The Saturday School Fraud

1. The disciplinary sheet provided by the school indicates that the VOLUNTARYSaturday School session is for an absence on Aug. 7th, 2012. Olivia was with me thatday per the custody orders. Her father was not authorized to enroll her in school atRoosevelt at that time and in fact, as the primary caretaker, I planned on enrolling herin school in Visalia wherein school would not be starting until a later date.

2. Your client, Mr. Bowerman, failed to inform me, as the primary caretaker, that theschool had notified him of an absence for Olivia on Aug. 7th. He himself did not take


2/5

action to excuse the absence with the school, nor did he notify nor provide me withthe opportunity to clear the absence for Olivia.

3. When I arrived at the school on Saturday I spoke with Olivias teacher, Mr. Nitta, so Icould support Olivia and explain that it wasnt Olivias fault and that if I had been

notified I would have provided her an excuse to clear the absence. While I was thereI sought to better understand the issues she was having in school. I asked Mr. Nittato go over the paperwork with me. This is when I became aware of the nefarious andabusive nature of Mr. Bowermans surreptitious attempt to create Parental/MaternalAlienation.

4. In reviewing the paperwork, Mr. Nitta immediately expressed concern and stated thathe didnt believe Olivia should be there at all. His records indicated that she had notbeen enrolled in school until August 10, 2012 and he was quite confused as to whyshe would have Saturday School for missing a day before she was enrolled.

5. Further, Mr. Nitta disclosed Olivias complete attendance record to me and it isunnerving. Olivia was not in attendance August 7th, 8th or 9th. In conjunction withthe school record indicating she was not enrolled until August 10th there is a clearcontradiction with prior communications from your Law Offices regarding the date Mr.Bowerman enrolled Olivia. It also explains why Olivia was not in school on those daysas it appears she was not currently enrolled. Mr. Bowerman was in custody andcontrol of Olivia from 2:00 PM August 8th per the custody order, yet, there is nounexcused absence for Olivias absence on the 9th of August nor any SaturdaySchool requirement. Further, Olivias attendance records indicate she has alsomissed school August 13th, August 20th, August 23rd and September 17th. All datesin which Mr. Bowerman was in custody and control of Olivia. It appears that Mr.

Bowerman put forth the effort to excuse Olivia for the dates she missed school whilein his custody and control, yet he forced Olivia to attend VOLUNTARY SaturdaySchool for an absence on a date PRIOR to her enrollment.

6. Olivia indicated on Saturday that she did indeed blame me for having to attendSaturday School until I showed up and saved her. She then saw the amount of time Ispent with her teacher reviewing her school assignments and listening to hisconcerns. Mr. Nitta expressed severe concern for Olivia. He indicated she is muchmore capable and intelligent than her present performance is indicating and he feelsthere is clearly something wrong at home. I explained that Olivias parents weregetting divorced. He acknowledged that and added it seems to be possibly something

else as well without being specific. My daughter was a consistent A Student whenunder my care and supervision, I have attached her grades in Mr. Nittas class foryour review - this is heartbreaking.

7. Clearly your client, Mr. Bowerman, manufactured the Saturday School Fraud as amultifaceted parental alienation tactic; he specifically created an interruption to myweekend visitation with Olivia by consciously excusing a myriad of absencesattributable to his custody and control and specifically singling out an absence for a


3/5

date PRIOR to her enrollment and then precluding me from addressing it bypurposely not communicating it to me. I lose time with my daughter and she is told Iam the reason she must go to Saturday School.

8. In addition to the Saturday School Fraud, Mr. Bowerman purposely created

alienation by scheduling a Play Date for Olivia and Elizabeth with their friend Sarahat 1:30 PM immediately after the time he expected Olivia to be through with SaturdaySchool. Please Mr. Goss, explain your clients behavior to me. Your offices clearlycommunicated that I could come on Friday evening to pick up Elizabeth and thenreturn Saturday to pick up Olivia - OR - I could simply come on Saturday and pick upElizabeth and Olivia. I was communicative and sent an email on Friday evening that Iwas ill and returning to Visalia for the evening to take medicine and rest. You yourselfhad indicated to me that Mr. Bowerman would not provide resources for me to havelodgings in Modesto Friday night. I then got up early Saturday morning and drove allthe way back to Modesto from Visalia to learn that both of my children had beenalienated by their father from visiting with me. Does he not even listen to you? Why

would he ever schedule a play date for the girls on the day I am supposed to visit andeveryone has been in communication? The outcome is that the girls were upset andAGAIN I did NOT get my weekend visitation with them.

9. Your client Mr. Bowerman clearly admits in writing to believing he is not required tonotify me of issues regarding the girls and that he purposely created parentalalienation in retaliation for something he believes I did over a year ago. Please seehis email message below:

Did you feel it was alienation when you arranged for the girls to go with Hope and you to takethe three girls to some event on one of my first visitation weekends?Regarding 8/7, there was no need to notify you. You knew it was a school day and you did nottake them. Now it needs to be cleared regardless of what happened so it doesn't affect hergrade.Greg

Clearly your client is not actually concerned with Olivias grades as she is! struggling mightily in her classes. Mr. Nitta indicated during his visit with me on! Saturday that this was the first contact he has had with Olivias parents and was so! happy to finally be able to communicate his concerns for her educational and! emotional well being. And while Mr. Bowerman contends that August 7th was a! school day and I should have taken Olivia to school (in which she was not! currently enrolled and which as Primary Caretaker I did not authorize her to be! enrolled in), he appears unconcerned with the fact that Olivia was not at school the! 8th or 9th of August as well and four additional dates since that time.Alienation and Abuse

10. As I mentioned earlier, my girls were prepared to go with their friend Sarah onSaturday per their fathers pre-meditated alienation strategy and I was again deniedmy visitation with them. This is a pattern of maternal alienation and abuse that I


4/5

have been consistently documenting and ensuring there are always third partywitnesses. This continued abuse of the children by their father has caused me tohave no more than 1 hour TOTAL visitation time with my children since they startedschool in Modesto in direct violation of the custody order designating me as PrimaryCaretaker and the ongoing use of a fraudulent and false agreement that constitutes

a Tampered Court Document the father is using to illegally deny me access to mychildren.

11. The only possible positive outcome of this perversion of the legal system is that it isclear that the current damage being wrought upon my children is the undeniableresponsibility and result of their fathers custody and control of them. I am absolutelyheartbroken, dismayed and furious at the damage that has been inflicted on Olivia inthe last 60 days. When I picked her up on Saturday I was simply shocked by theanger and resentment behind her verbally abusive attack on me. I was calm andloving toward Olivia as the words and concepts she was verbalizing were obviouslynot those of a 14 year old girl. The amount of brainwashing and maternal alienation

was staggering. It is evident to me why Olivia reports to me that she must sleep somuch and nap as soon as she gets home from school. The stress must be simplyunbearable. What follows is the heart-wrenching non-experiential statements sheblurted at me nearly non-stop for the first 25 to 30 minutes after I picked her up fromschool:! I dont want you to save me because it is your fault I am in Saturday School.

You dont love me

You dont care what happens to me

I am remembering lately that you yelled at me and choked me and hit me when Iwas little

You didnt even want me because you had to lay in bed for 6 months when youwere pregnant with me and I was a burden

I dont want you to spend any time with me

You only do things for people so you can get more in return

Dad didnt tell us what say, Dads never here, hes always at work

You are as bad as Nadia (19 year old babysitter) is with a boyfriend. All of asudden thats all you care about.

All you care about is the child support money you get (she didnt realize I get none)

My doctor says I have ulcers and ulcers come from stress and you are the causeof all my stress.!

12. It is pervasively well known by my family, friends and acquaintances that I advocatea non-contact, non physical punishment methodology of child rearing. It was soincredibly debilitating to hear such concepts and statements come from Olivia. Afterabout 30 minutes or so Olivia calmed down and became normalized. We spoke toone another lovingly and discussed her running and her music. She then sharedwith me that she is absolutely terrified regarding an upcoming procedure thatrequires putting a scope down her throat to take biopsy samples of her stomach and


5/5

intestine. She has been told there is a chance the procedure may result inpuncturing her stomach or intestines and that a surgeon will need to be on stand by.I want to know why her father did not notify me of the procedure, the date nor thelocation of the procedure or any details?

It is clear that Mr. Bowerman and his legal counsel are using the premise of a fraudulentand manufactured custody related document to continue the emotional abuse of mychildren and perpetrate maternal alienation. There is also clear growing evidence ofparental neglect by the father as evidenced by Olivias attendance problems (shereports she is late to first period nearly every day in addition to her absences) andacademic performance. It is mind-boggling that Olivia failed 8th grade last year, isstruggling this year and instead of allowing her to be with her mother who guided to herto straight As, Mr. Bowerman is attempting to have her moved up to high school.

I expect your offices to inject some sanity into this process at some point. In the meantime, since I have received no response from the Judge nor your offices in regard to the

fraudulent document being used as the quasi custody order that is enabling Mr.Bowerman to continue his abuse, I have begun distributing the document to variousagencies and requesting their input on how we should address the problem. We aresure to note the contradictory nature of the document, the false listing of legal counseland the lack of filing record for the date stamped on the document. We also clearlyindicate the document was sent through the US Mail to no less than three differentaddresses and recipients.

Finally, in light of the latest abuses and attempts at maternal alienation by your client, Iwill be filing an Emergency Court Order request this week for 100% custody of thechildren.
