But they were being ‘bumped off’– that is, murdered and viciously assaulted – quicker than I could get them to write down their allegations. The most outrageous thing of all [is] the related and organised activities of those pedophiles in high public office – that is, the judiciary, the senior ranks of human services portfolios, some police and MPs, across the nation…. Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper, June 11, 2008: We realize that by separating children from parents, we undermined [that child’s] ability to parent, and sowed the seeds for generations to follow and we apologize for having done this. 5 South Australia Supreme Court Schedule of Fees General Fees as at July 1, 2018 (www. courts.sa.gov.au): On filing an application for disclosure of documents before the commencement of a proceeding: $429.00 On filing to commence a proceeding in the Supreme Court: $2526.00 On filing a summons for permission to appeal: $429.00 On filing a notice of appeal for which permission to appeal is required: $2,097.00 On setting a date for trial: $2526.00 Copying: For a copy of a document: $4.90 per page (other than a copy of evidence).

To no one will we sell, to no one will we refuse or delay, right or justice.” 6 PREFACE Who would believe that Family Law courts are corrupt? Who would believe that governments of US, Australia, UK, and Canada steal children and get away with it? Almost certainly it’s a global racket. We must end it. The way I came into this odd story was through a beautiful member of the McIntyre family of Adelaide, Rachel Vaughan. Her father, Max McIntyre, died in 2017 at age 89. He was quite a terrible human being. He was employed by a powerful pedophile ring and did any murders they ordered. This book isn’t about those murders, nor is it about child sexual abuse. Granted, it’s set against a background of an existing pedo-and-trafficking system (which is global and therefore our judges are probably under foreign instruction!) but there won’t be nitty-gritty here about sex. My concentration is on the law. We need our law. Our law is fabulous -- when it is not being perverted. This book says ‘Legal kidnap’ is illegal. Today judges take your kids away without so much as a by-your-leave. They even order the removal of a baby from the hospital on the day it’s born. “Unjust!” you cry.” “Outrageous! I’ll fix that guy’s wagon.” No, you won’t because there is a tight system to lock you out of the civil courts, and to legally prevent you from exposing your plight via the media. It really outdoes Kafka. 7 The second half of the book is about solutions. Once you have become aware that “legal kidnapping” by the courts is taking place, and you realize it is criminal, you can crack down on the miscreants. Prosecuting them and suing them to within an inch of their wallet is possible. But so is getting the children reunited with family. Perhaps some readers picking up this book do not know of the disrespect with which many a parent has been treated by so- called child-protection agencies. I will briefly state it now. To my amazement I have heard from mothers that they are allowed only supervised visits with their darling children – usually once a week or a fortnight, located at a governmental place where the interaction of kids and parents is watched through a two-way mirror. There, I said it. Did you faint on the floor? Good. Many parents have been broken by this persecution. I am not talking about a parent who has choked her child – we would all approve of supervised visits. I am talking about a parent who, say, let dirty dishes pile up at home. Is that the state’s business? They claim it is. (Faint again.) I can tell you more. The parent may be instructed not to hug her child during the “visit,” or say “I love you,” or even give him a gift. We know this instruction is wrong on the face of it. Also, she, the mum, will be asked to prove over and over that she’s not a mental case. (Remember, this is for “dishes.”) Note: the same can happen to a father. Family Law is the great equalizer. For reasons of my slightly odd research background, I know a lot about the efforts to change our culture that have been undertaken for decades, clandestinely. So I “get it” re the supervised visit nonsense. It is part of a so-called experiment 8 to see how far a person can hold out against frustration, confusion, and humiliation. (Remember Abu Ghraib?) But I’m not having it. We need to stop all such cruelty. It’s time to terminate the whole gig. I think it is the judiciary that needs to be held to account. They are, in the end, the kidnappers. We ought to stop honoring kidnappers, do you agree? Nevertheless, reunion is the goal in this book. Punishing the bad guys has its place, but only a secondary place. I seem to write a lot of books about how to punish bad officials. This is not the career I want! I’d like to kick aside my PhD in Politics and study the lilies of the field. All right. Time to jump onto the case. Please join me! Note: This book incorporates articles that I published at GumshoeNews.com, which is based in Melbourne. So when I say “in this country” I mean Australia. I was born and raised in US. My Bachelor’s degree is from Emmanuel College, Boston; my law degree is from University of Adelaide, with part of it completed in Germany. Mary W Maxwell, LLB February 28, 2019 UPDATE: I originally provided a Net copy of the February 2019 edition of this book. Some may have it on file. It was called “Reunion and Family Law.” Now I’ve changed the subtitle to “Judging the Family Court.” This version contains a Foreword by a Mum and an Afterword by a sagacious GP, and late-breaking stuff on the Jeffery Epstein case. I’ve also added to the appendices new writings by Fiona Barnett, an eye-opener by autism doctor Andrew Wakefield, and helpful court cases here and abroad.
