A house of horrors in Glencoe, Illinois
The details of the abuse that Gwen and Grace Girard suffered have finally been revealed.
I first wrote about Gwen and Grace Girard in the summer of 2023. Since then, there have been numerous follow ups by me, Richard Luthmann, Robert Hansen, Julie Holburn, and others.
While the girls have alleged sexual abuse against their mom, that allegation has not been detailed until now. The closest came in an interview with Robert Hansen when he noted.
In an exclusive interview early this week, the Girard girls said they were "fed up" about their voices not being heard by the Court and why they took to social media to share their story.
As recently as February 2022, Grace said her mother sexually abused her and almost Gwen.
“That was a really big turning point for us,” Grace said. “It was obvious that we had to get away.”
Now, a new lawsuit filed by them and their father, Kenton Girard, details the house of horrors that their mom, Jane Girard, made for them. In that lawsuit, the girls, it is alleged, were forced to sit in chairs for hours at a time, were digitally penetrated, had a tampon inserted into their vaginas, were forced against their will take a vaccine, and even starved. The lawsuit further alleges that part of the abuse was witnessed by a third party. An email I received confirms what the third party witnessed. Below is part of the lawsuit.
The lawsuit continues.
The lawsuit further alleges that not only did the girls disclose these allegations to numerous people- including Child Protective Services, local police, court appointed therapists, and more- but that the system then went into overdrive to downplay the abuse while prolonging the custody case to create fees.
I reached out to Jane Girard and her attorneys at Beermann Law Group, but neither responded.
One of her previous attorneys, Molly Carmody, is now at a competing law firm, Berlin Melzer, and she declined to take a call at her new office when I reached her there.
All are defendants in this lawsuit.
In 2022, I published a webinar that was really a how to manual for racketeering in the courts in Orange County, California. The webinar gave all sorts of scenarios for which the appointment of court appointee was necessary.
The webinar provides a guide for court actors to justify the appointment of numerous people to all bill unsuspecting parents. The goal is not to solve any problems, except billing problems.
While that webinar was done in Orange County, California, this scheme plays out in courts all over the US.
The Girard case is a perfect example. As soon as the disclosures came to light in 2022, no one in the court system took much effort to determine if they were real.
Furthermore, there was a longstanding custody order which was not being followed. No one forced the girls to visit their mother- they stopped seeing her in the summer of 2022- nor did anyone try and hold their father in contempt for not following it.
Instead, the court appointed numerous people to try and solve the so-called relationship breakdown.
Since 2022, the court has appointed a child representative, a guardian ad litem, a reunification therapist, a custody evaluator, and a parenting coordinator all in a naked attempt to bill as much for as many as possible.
The two girls are pawns for a corrupt money-making scheme. To make matters worse, Gwen and Grace recognized this scheme and called it out a year ago, but still it goes on.
“Mom, do you know why this is happening? It’s because you and dad have money,” the girls said in the video, “More and more professionals keeping being brought into our case, but no one attempts to listen to us.”
Many of the court appointees are now defendants in this lawsuit.
One of those defendants is Gwenn Waldman, the reunification therapist. I reached out to Ms. Waldman, but she did not respond to my email. The lawsuit alleges that she abdicated her duty as a mandated reporter when informed of the abuse, and instead, she advocated for forcing a reunification between the girls and their abuser.
Another defendant is Vanessa Hammer, the former guardian ad litem. She asked off the case shortly after my first article on July 21, 2023, came out.
Hammer even acknowledged the sexual abuse, according to the lawsuit.
Instead of acting on the abuse, Hammer and others instead pushed the idea that the abuse allegations were really a manifestation of their father’s parental alienation. In other words, these very detailed abuse allegations weren’t real, the court actors argued, but instead these two teenagers were both saying it because Kent Girard is trying to alienate Jane Girard from them.
The custody evaluator, Phyllis Amabile MD, shockingly recommended the girls live with neither parent but instead be split up in separate boarding schools.
I emailed Dr. Amabile, but she did not respond to that email for comment.
The lawsuit alleges that Jane engaged assault, false imprisonment and more while other parties failed in their duty to report abuse. The lawsuit further alleges that Dr. Amabile committed “gross professional malpractice” in completing her report.
This lawsuit is separate from another federal lawsuit in which Kent Girard, his wife Marissa, and his two daughters filed which alleges that Beermann is running a sophisticated bribery scheme.
These teenagers have been speaking out for years. Why are the words of our children systematically ignored?
Need to tell my story…
