Rebutting ACOEM and AAAAI

[Guest guest]

To Sharon and others:

So what are victims and their advisors doing in courts

and in other media to rebut the ACOEM and AAAAI materials? Are there

published and peer reviewed papers out there on the other side? Who are the

best pro-victim experts?

MD say Toxic Mold Illness is Mental, so Mom Likely to Lose Custody

Hey Guys,

Do you remember me telling you about this

one? This is really bad. I was in the courtroom for this

hearing. The County

of Los Angeles should

be called on the carpet over this one. I personally witnessed

the LA County School District, the LA County Child Protective Services and

the LA County Children's Court systematically work together on this

one. This mother was a mentor teacher. Now, it appears because the

County of Los Angeles does not want to pay for

worker's comp, for a teacher their negligent maintenance of a school

caused injury, she is a registered child abuser. She and her son are

two of the nicest people one could ever have the privilege to know.

They are fall out from ACOEM and AAAAI promoting the concept these

illnesses are " not plausible "

CPS & One MD say Toxic Mold Illness is Mental,

so Mom Likely to Lose Custody of Son

Jane [identities shielded] was a teacher in LA who

became progressively and mysteriously ill. So did her son, Ben, and several

of the children in her class. After visiting several doctors and having many

tests it was discovered that Jane and Ben were ill due to mold exposure.

While California OSHA found mold in the school the school district wants her

claim to be nullified. Jane was so ill she could no longer work and Ben

was so sensitive to repeat exposures that he was eventually home schooled,

which seemed to improve his health. They eventually found caring and

competent physicians managing their healthcare.

Then circumstances necessitated consulting a new physician. The new,

“traditional” MD stated that “mold illness was all mental” and reported Jane

to CPS for child abuse, claiming that Jane was mentally unsound and making

her son mentally ill.

This intelligent and caring mother is facing a trial in LA in November to

take away her son. Apparently CPS also believes that toxic mold exposure is a

bogus condition.

Jane’s attorney has said that she will need to hire at least two expert

witnesses (about $20,000) and that his fees will be about $20,000.

One of the charges involves home-schooling as an abuse issue in itself and

further claiming that no provision is made for the son’s socialization needs,

but CPS never asked to see accreditation of the curriculum or what measures

were implemented to provide socialization.

Another demand was that both Jane and her son Ben be examined by a court

appointed (but CPS approved) psychiatrist. Jane had good reason to fear bias

so she sought organizations that might help her. She heard of one that acted

on psychiatric abuses and contacted it. CPS used her contacting this

organization as further proof she is an unfit Mom because they are affiliated

with Scientology. This “fact” should not even be considered relevant

and furthermore Jane didn’t even know this until she obtained a copy of the

CPS report.

Loans and prospects of part-time jobs are no longer possible because Jane has

already been listed onto a national child abuse database, even though the

case has not yet been adjudicated. (What happened to “innocent until proven

guilty”?) She says that she has spoken with several other Moms in identical

circumstances and even six years after being found innocent and fit in court

their names remain on this database.

PLEASE assist this small, loving family to stay together and fight injustice

based upon those elements that do not want any legal support for victims of

toxic mold. If you have followed what has been happening in New Orleans this is similar.

Open your heart and wallet and donate to save this child.
