Description

AFCC HISTORY IN CONNECTICUT DOCUMENT INDEXThe Association of Family and Conciliation Courts withdrew it’s registration to do business in the State of Connecticut in 1984. Since then, the AFCC has continued to conduct business in the State, operating directly from within the Judicial Branch. Judicial Branch and other court industry State employees who are also AFCC members help ensure Judicial Branch contracts continue to flow to the AFCC, they solicit fees, dues, members on the AFCC’s behalf with State resources. As shown below, the AFCC’s programs are deeply embedded in the Judicial Branch, but should Judicial Branch resources be used to promote a private, unregistered corporation run by its’ own employees and the professionals who provide services to litigants? Does this give the Judicial Branch a vested financial interest in finding in favor of AFCC’s affiliates instead of the merits of a case or the weight of the evidence? Does the Judicial Branch’s investment in the AFCC provide a financial incentive for judges to ignore or conceal legitimate complaints from litigants aggrieved by AFCC members? What recourse do CT litigants victimized by AFCC members have if they are not safe to come back to court? What happens to attorneys who do not wish to become members of the AFCC or who refuse provide financial support to AFCC events sponsored by judges? 1.

The “free” certification classes are mandatory for all GAL’s. Attendees are mostly private attorneys and therapists. GAL's receive qualified immunity, there is no "decertification" process, no oversight of the industry. P.7: GAL trainers are hand picked by AFCC affiliate Judge Lynda B. Munro. Munro has chosen GAL trainers who are mostly AFCC affiliates, many of whom are also paid to train the court staff (RFQ 0406024) or sat on the Governors 2002 Commission on Custody, Divorce, and Support. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FAMILYCOURTREFORM/message/9753 Many of the GAL trainers, such as Dr. Howard Krieger, Mary K O'Sullivan (who works for the CT Department of Mental Health Addiction Services), are also Judicial Branch contractors paid to train the court's staff under the same contract.

Consequently, Judge Munro and Murphy thought it was best to grant sole custody of Max to the father accused of raping him: http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/heart-withoutcompromise-children-and-children-wit/2013/feb/28/finding-ground-zeroconnecticut-part-i/ • • • • ! 17! • See link to GAL trainer Dr. Kenneth Robson's testimony about Max's sexual assault here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/126252311/Dr-Kenneth-Robson-s-Bills-reLiberti-v-Liberti The Skipp Tittle children are now motherless after GAL Mary Brigham billed the Skipp-Tittle children's family >$100,000 after they reported their father repeatedly assaulted them.

DCF supervisor Ann Tuller founded AMPS, Inc., a supervised visitation center providing services to DCF clients. Ethics Commission finds that this is a violation of various laws to allow DCF coworkers to fuel business withe referrals, contract must be subject to public bidding process. P. 5-6: HHS reports showing that only 24 parents were using AV supervised visitation services in 2003. The programs were mainly used for fathers. The # of non-custodial parents whose parenting time with children increased as a result of services was 55. AMPS and CSSD are the AV program providers. P. 11-12: By 2007, 246 parents were using AV supervised visitation services. The # of non-custodial parents whose parenting time with children increased as a result of services was 183.

Do children benefit from programs that arbitrarily decrease the time they spend with their mothers? Should public agencies be recruiting unfit and unwilling fathers from prisons, jails, rehab programs and requiring them to raise the next generation of kids (lest it affect their child support debts)? P. 17-19: Letter from Klingberg Family Centers re: RFP 3102 indicating that they were subcontracted by AMPS to administer CSSD's TIP reunification services and supervised visitation to CSSD clients. Now they would like to bid on the contract themselves.
