My children have been abducted by my eldest daughter.

I should start out by saying that I am a 46yr old woman. I live in Australia and I have not seen my two children since 22nd October 2010. Cody and Tamiah are 9yrs old and 12yrs old respectivley.

I sent my children for the September / October school holidays for a visit with their elder sister Amanda who is 29yrs old. She is their half sister. I subsequently found out through a letter from Centrelink wanting to know some very pointed answers as to when the children left my care. This letter tipped me off to her true intentions and those intentions were to gain custody of my children for herself. I was shocked beyond belief that my own flesh and blood could be so calculating, cold, calous and down right vicious.

This is an act of pure revenge and born of malice. To give this series of heart renching proportions a true Gerry Springer twist where-by explaining where this revenge came from would be beneficial to anyone reading this. Hopefully some suggestions might come back my way from anyone who can offer good solid advice or even just support.

My eldest daughter Amanda (the one who has abducted my 9 and 12yr old) is married to my ex-partner whom I share a biological child with. This relationship ended 22 yrs ago.  The child of that relationship is my eldest daughter's sister (if you can wrap your head around just how sick this really is). My eldest daughter Amanda is married to her once, parentus locus, her stepfather, the father of her own sister who is now 21yrs of age.

The entire extended family has shunned to both of them and their subsequent children (my granchildren) for the past 13yrs. I too shunned the both of them and maintained silence but relented as I did want to see if some form of relationship could be formed with my eldest daughter. This was the biggest mistake of my life. She had revenge planned with her husband/step father/ her sisters father for years and years. My eldest daughter is a consumate liar of the highest order. Pathological to say the least. She has no connection to anyones feelings except her own.

With the use of the courts, the police and various other government departments she submitted an affidavit to gain interim custody of my two children without me ever being served, she gained this interim custody by an ex-partee decision. To this day I have not been served with the papers she used to gain interim custody on the 12th October 2010 in Burnie, Tasmania. I was not present in court as I was not aware that any court proceedings had or were taking place. I was granted full custody, care and control of both my children by the family law court in 2007 when the relationship with the childrens natural father disolved but yet, the judge who granted her interim custody wasn't not made aware or did not care to find out if any other orders existed.

When I initially suspected she was trying to gain custody, I flew from Sydney to Launceston and hired a car to drive to where she lives in Rosebery Tasmania. I had previously enrolled the children by fax with the local school at Rosebery as the school holiday times differ to those in NSW. I wanted to ensure that the children were taken care of during my eldest daughters hours of work. I arrived at the school only to find that my daughter had removed the children from school stating she was unwell and needed to pick them up early. The school principal was absolutley schocked to find out from me that this was only a temporary enrollment and not a permanent enrolment as my daughter had led him to believe.

The police were called and they refused to act. There were no orders in place at the time and still they refused to act. My eldest daughter had already painted a very bleak picture of me to the local police who were perplexed to say the least. I was not the type of person they were expecting. They were expecting a drug addict, a prositute, an alcholic. They were not expecting an articulate woman such as myself whom is clearly none of these things. The police still refused to act and advised me if I attended my eldest daughters address I would be arrested for trespassing and disturbing the peace. I have lodged an offical complaint with the Commissioner of Police- Darren Hine (Tasmania) and he has not seen fit to respond at all.

I have been shafted by every government deparatment in Tasmania that you can think of. I have had my case handed to three different legal representatives whom have done absolutley nothing except completley stuff it up including a so called Barrister with 30 yrs experience.

My case is one of open and shut variety. I have substansial evidence to prove that I am not an alcholic, I am not a drug abuser of any sort and am not a prostitue. My eldest daughter has also accused my finacee, whom is a school teacher for the past 30 years of abusing the children as well. She made these allegations over a year prior to the abduction but led everyone to believe it was another person who made these claims. These old claims of absuse were investigated and found to be without any basis and there was no case to answer. My eldest daughter bought all this up again in her affidavit but conveniently left out the fact that these were aged allegations that had been found to have absolutley no basis.

I know intend to represent myself as I have no faith or trust in the legal system.

My children have been demonised and alienated against myself and fiancee. My eldest daughter in using Operative and Classical conditioning to ensure that they hate me, they are frightened of me etc......

How can you go from two loving and caring children that have been with me since birth to two children who don't want to speak to me, or when they do speak to me on the phone the response is very very cold. There is no response toward me when I say "mummy loves you and misses you". I get absolute silence.

I might add as well that my eldest daughter accused her own husband of child molestation when she was just ten years old. She took him to court but the case was dimissed as she could not give evidence. She then went on to accuse Cody and Tamiah's natural father of the same crime but this did not go to court. She effectivley ensured by accusing him that I would remove the children from harm, hence not allow their natural father to spend time with them out of fear that he would enact the same sexual assault on them.

She is the best liar I have ever come across. I have never in my life met someone so calculating and calous. I unfortunatley gave birth to this abomination. I am extremley fearful that my children are going to be so badly scarred physcologically that they may never get past this abduction and the operative and classical conditioning that have had enacted upon them for the past five months. I am sure both children now fear and hate me.

It takes a very very cold person to do what she is doing and her husband / step father is standing right along side her allowing this to happen and helping her every step of the way. It is just revenge. 22 yrs ago I took his daughter as he committed a crime and was sent to jail. I was not going to have my children subject to a lifesytle of jail visits ect....I cut off all contact with him. This is his payback as much as it is hers.

So as you can see, after having my case mishandled, passed around 3 legal representatives, police refusal to act, government departments that refuse to act as well, 4 seperate requests to have my children placed in a neutral environment ignored.......just until the court can be satisfied that the allegations before them are untrue............this farce just goes on and on and on.

I have made excellent contacts with a number of journalists and television stations. This case will me made known by every possible means.

I will be seeking to have both my daugher and her husband charged under penal code 343 that states if they are found guilty they can both face jail terms of up to 20yrs each.

The labour party is stripping the rights of children and parents. The Hon Robert McClelland also has turned his back on me. He did respond by letter and his advice was extremly poor to say the least. His apathy was as clear as the nose on his lying face.

I would very much welcome any comments and or assitance.

Regards,

Jodi.
