Charlie Alexander’s Story About Delco Child Services Corruption — We’ve been carrying stories about how the agencies in Delaware County, Pa. tasked with protecting children actually are about protecting the connected, and the power protecting the connected provides.
Here’s Charlie Alexander’s story about how a child’s abuser escaped justice while those who brought it to the authorities’ attention were punished.
Note, this occurred more than a decade ago when the Republicans were running things.
Woman Avoids Charges And Keeps Daughter After Montco Custodial Hearing — Alexandria, who is facing charges for taking her daughter to California to keep her from the clutches of an abusive ex escaped punishment, yesterday, Aug. 30, after a hearing before Montgomery County (Pa.) Common Pleas Court Judge Wendy Demchick-Alloy.
Further, she retained full custody.
Among those attending the hearing in support, were Montco good-government activist Sean Connolly; the mother of Kayden Mancuso, whose death at the hands of a violent and unstable ex led to Kayden’s Law; a Delco woman seeking to keep her grandkids from unsupervised visits with a violent and unstable ex; Jody McMahon; and representatives from media outlets including a documentarian.
We understand that Montco President Judge Carolyn T. Carluccio is beginning to take an interest in these cases.
Something is seriously wrong with Pennsylvania’s system of (alleged) child protection. The women above described objective instances — like hospital reports — of physical or sexual abuse of children with the abusing spouse not only escaping charges but continuing to have visitation rights.
Meanwhile, not so long ago, we attended a hearing in which a rather bratty kid described how his mother left a bruise on him when she smacked him after he kicked her leading to the Delaware County District Attorney to bring charges against her.
No hospitalization or stitches or anything of import.
The DA, however, chose to pursue this rather than protect children who hid in a Springfield sewer to escaped being in the custody of a violent father.
Sick people are in charge and the good judges and police and prosecuters have to speak up.
Connolly, by the way, noted he enjoyed the company of the seven or so sheriff deputies present at the hearing. He also said he had enjoyed a short conversation with the former driver for Mike Vereb, the one-time Montco GOP chairman who became secretary for legislative affairs for Gov. Josh Shapiro until unfortunate matters of legislative affairs compelled him to leave.

Justice Coming To Montco Courts? — We hear the looming scandals we’ve been covering concerning Montgomery County (Pa) courts are about to break wide upon.
We’ve been disappointed before but may the truth be revealed and justice prevail.
Meanwhile, some questions:
Why did Dr. Scott Rifkin make numerous visits to Josh Shapiro’s Philadelphia office when Josh was Pennsylvania Attorney General?
Why are right-to-know requests concerning what they discussed being denied?
How did Shapiro go from a net worth of $100,000 in 2000 to $4 million in 2010 to $35 million today?
Why are Amish farmers being coerced into conservatorships resulting in the state takeover of their lands?
Pennsylvania’s Guardianship Corruption Misery — Had a long phone call, yesterday, with a person from central Pennsylvania concerning a guardianship tragedy with his mother.
This person — don’t assume male as the pronoun is being used in the universal sense to protect identity — is having limited access to his mother and his estate has been drained.
The mother, naturally, was given a guardianship despite having just mild incapacitation.
Pennsylvania’s system for guardianship is corrupt. It is designed to siphon money from vulnerable families to those connected to courts. The corruption includes judges, attorneys and various cronies.
CYS Cruelty Spawned Woman’s Crusade Against Shapiro — Hadassah Feinberg, who has been a subject here, had a two-hour interview with Ken Matthews, which was posted today, July 27, on Rumble.
In part one, Hadassah describes the vicious retaliation by the Dauphin County Children and Youth Services that led her down the rabbit hole to Pennsylvania’s massive and oppressive corruption.
The retaliation came after she complained about the poor response to a report of child abuse by the agency.
She wound up losing her children for 13 days.
What she described is exactly what has been described as occurring in Delaware County.
In part two, Hadassah talks about the connections Gov. Josh Shapiro has to major scandals — including the Ellen Greenberg murder — and how representing oneself in a courtroom might be a better strategy than hiring a lawyer.
She also explained how the lawfare Fulton County, Ga. District Attorney Fani Willis waged on President Trump made her realize she can do the same thing to Shapiro. She says she has filed a RICO complaint against Shapiro and others for obstruction of justice.
Complaint File Against Montco Judge Regarding Ducote Matter — The Montgomery County, Pa. judge who threw a hissy fit and ordered an attorney arrested and handcuffed is in a bit of trouble herself.
Common Please Court Judge Kelly Wall gave the bizarre order, May 8, because she didn’t like how attorney Richard Ducote was a questioning a witness.
Or maybe it’s because Ducote said that Judge Wall should recuse herself because she had engaged in ex parte communications, which is a violation of judicial ethics.
Ducote is representing noted ophthalmologist Dr. Nicole Gross in a horror-story divorce case.
Anyway Ducote filed a complaint against Judge Wall with the Judicial Conduct Board, regarding those ex parte communications.
Mary Bush Convicted — Mary Bush was convicted, Friday, of harassing Cameron Adams who bought the land upon which she grew up and on which she cared for her mother until 2013 when she was evicted after a dispute concerning guardianship issues with her brothers.
Mary still lives next to the property in West Bradford, Chester County, Pa.
It’s 15 acres and has a Cape Cod.
Adams got it for $480,000 in 2021 just a few hours before Mary’s mother, Genevieve, died.
Mary, who is 64, may be facing a stint in prison — much as 70-year-old Arthur Herring did — because of the conviction. The harassment included driving slowly past the house, videotaping construction and occasionally shouting at the new owner.
Mary is disputing the ownership of the property and possessions that came with it. She says cases are pending in Chester Common Pleas Court, the Orphans Court, two appeals in state Superior Court and an appeal in the state Supreme Court.
We only watched a little of the trial and won’t comment on whether the verdict was just. We won’t even take a side in Mary’s dispute with her brothers.
We will, however, declare that Pennsylvania’s guardianship system is a corrupt disgrace. Genevieve — just as Jane Herring — was declared mentally incapacitated at a hearing in which her county-appointed attorney told her not to testify. Further, the attorney kept her from calling her doctor and financial advisors as witnesses in support of her acuity.
The ruling allowed the Chesco courts to appoint guardians and lawyers — well-paid by the estate — to control her assets.
Once the court appoints a lawyer, by the way, a family cannot get rid of him no matter how poor a job he is doing.
It’s a scam. It’s dirty. The law needs to be changed.
Mary was prohibited — just as Arthur Herring was — from seeing her mom at the end. This was not the wish of Genevieve. It was certainly not the wish of Mary.
What If Lawyer Stops Client From Testifying To Prove Her Mind Is Good? — We’ve written about how 70-year-old Arthur Herring spent almost two month in jail after picketing the Bucks County home of attorney David Jaskowiak.
Jaskowiak was appointed by Montgomery County Orphans’ Court to represent Arthur’s mother, Jane, in guardianship matter.
Jane died July 2 just a few hours before Bucks County President Judge Raymond F. McHugh revoked Arthur’s bail and returned him to the Bucks County jail.
Arthur had been unable to see Jane since December.
Even before that his time had been restricted.
Jaskowiak was among those Arthur considered responsible for this happening.
It’s one thing to protect a parent from an abusive child but in this case, Jane desperately wanted to see Arthur.
It’s rather cruel if you think about it.
We’ve been sent video of Jaskowiak giving a seminar on guardianship issues. He says at one point that the client upon whom he is imposed is not compelled to testify.
Arthur says, however, his mother wanted to testify but was stopped by Jaskowiak. Futher, Jane’s doctor and financial advisor were prevented from testifying on her behalf.
How exactly is that representation?
Under the law once the court appoints a lawyer in a matter of incapacitation, the lawyer cannot be fired or replaced.
Among others who Arthur blames for the suffering imposed on himself and his mother is Judge Gail A. Weilheimer of Montgomery County Common Pleas Court.
Judge Weilheimer has been nominated by Joe Biden to serve as United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
She is the wife of Philadelphia Inquirer Vice President and Chief General Counsel Larry Wellheimer, and closely connected to Gov. Josh Shapiro.
Mary Bush Trial In Chesco — We stopped in this morning, July 17, on the trial of Mary Bush who is charged with harassing the fellow who purchased the land next to her in West Bradford, Chester County, Pa.
The 15-acre lot with a Cape Cod was acquired for $480,000 from the guardianship of her mother, Genevieve, in 2021, a few hours before she died.
Mary says the title wasn’t clear when the sale was made.
The trial is being held before Judge Allison Bell Royer and is scheduled to end tomorrow.
Regardless of what the jury decides, Genevieve had a miserable, lonely death in a nursing home, and the county powers-that-be kept mother and daughter apart against both their wishes.
Arthur Herring Gets Year Probation For Defending Mother In Her Loneliness — Arthur Herring was sentenced to 12 months probation by Bucks County President Judge Raymond F. McHugh, this morning, July 16, for picketing the New Britain home of David Jaskowiak.
The charge was harassment. Jaskowiak was the court-appointed lawyer for Arthur’s mother, Jane.
Jaskowiak was appointed by Montgomery County where Jane had lived.
Jane died the morning of July 2. That afternoon, McHugh revoked Arthur’s bail returning him to Bucks County Prison.
McHugh had forbidden Arthur to contact Jaskowiak.
Arthur cc’d him, however, in in an email to the court-appointed guardian of the estate.
It was the only contact Arthur, age 70, had with the attorney in a month of freedom since his bail was lowered to what he could afford.
He was arrested for the picketing, April 27. He had spent five weeks in jail on $100,000 bail.
McHugh, today, allowed Arthur a chance to make a statement before sentencing.
Arthur, probably against the advice of his lawyer, did.
Jaskowiak was appointed with the expectation his mother could replace him, Arthur said.
One might expect that to be the case. It’s what we’re taught in civics class, after all.
Not so in guardianship matters, though.
Arthur, tearfully, said that Jaskowiak wouldn’t let his mother to call witnesses such as her doctor and financial advisors in her competency hearing.
And the county found her incompetent, sentencing her to spend two years of wretched misery in poorly managed nursing homes and away form her beloved son.
He also accused Jaskowiak and the appointed guardians of siphoning money from the estate by giving no-work jobs to friends, and billing for unnecessary work.
Arthur slowly lost access to his mom. The last time they saw each other was in December. The courts prohibited him from taking photos and video of her.
Really, what’s up with that?
Arthur also took issue with a claim by the prosecution regarding the sign he held during the picketing. The prosecution said Arthur accused Jaskowiak of being a sex trafficker.
Arthur said he did not accuse Jaskowiak of being a sex trafficker.
He said he accused him of being a human trafficker and a sex pervert.
The human trafficking concerned what he considered to be the kidnapping of his mother, Arthur said. The sex pervert claim stems from video Jaskowiak made for a legal seminar. Jaskowiak explained how opponents can be goaded into getting jailed for contempt of court and this would lead them to a “date with Bubba.”
Arthur reasoned that Jaskowiak was promoting male rape.
McHugh lectured Arthur that disputes must be settled in court and that he most certainly broke the law, which Arthur objectively did.
Calling someone a sex pervert is illegal on a public street.
Judge McHugh made a legitimate point, but one wonders what is the recourse when courts go bad.
There most certainly is something bad in Pennsylvania’s guardianship system.
Montgomery County Common Pleas Court Judge Gail A. Weilheimer, who was one of the judges who tormented Arthur, has been nominated by Joe Biden to serve as a United States District Court judge for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
