Commissioner Conklin is not a very good judge
It's the third hearing I have watched or listened, and the sound of her voice makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
The latest hearing in the evolving case of James Barnett Vs Amanda Barnett has caused me frustration and sadness.
It’s clear that for the junior judge, Catherine Conklin, her corruption is only exceeded by her utter incompetence and stupidity.
On October 24, 2022, Commissioner Conklin held her most recent hearing.
Check out part one and two of this evolving story.
In September of 2022, Commissioner Conklin sent three of the four Barnett children to live full time with their father over the vociferous objections of everyone in that family besides him.
He is definitely verbally abusive as the two videos below show.
He’s also been accused of physical abuse and even rape.
None of that matters to the idiot junior judge who would rather treat the four children as guinea pigs for her perverted social experiment.
The oldest boy, 16, has been kept with his mother because the idiot junior judge thinks he’s too much of a bad influence on his siblings.
“There have been allegations of abuse- both of Ms. Barnett and the children in this case- they have been investigated thoroughly by DCFS and by law enforcement.” Commissioner Conklin stated in the September 2022, hearing, “There is nothing that supports the fact that they are in danger with him. I think Ms. Mateus is right; in the best-case scenario, you have sat by and allowed your sixteen-year-old to become the Don Quixote of the family.”
On October 13, 2022, the family was back in front of the idiot junior judge, but little got accomplished for two reasons: 1) she took the unprecedented step of ordering that all four children speak with her and 2) she wanted to hear from the reunification therapist.
As such, she set another hearing for October 24, 2022, after speaking, presumably, with the children and getting a report from the reunification therapist.
As is the wont of the idiot junior judge, Commissioner Conklin paid no attention to anything that any of these folks told her. At this latest hearing, she made it clear that the conversations with the children would remain private.
“What we did talk about,” the idiot junior judge stated during the October 24, 2022, hearing, “is off the record.”
In the October 13, 2022, hearing, the idiot junior judge said the meetings would happen in chambers with her stenographer; why leave a record of a meeting she claims is off the record?
Who knows? Being an idiot junior judge means never having to say you are sorry or explain any of your idiotic decisions.
I do know that each of the three children told her that their father is abusive and the three currently living with him hate it there. He’s called the cops on them at least once. Here is part of an October 4, 2022, police report from the Weber County Sheriff’s Office.
None of that matters to the idiot junior judge. In the last hearing, she claimed that the children were getting used to the idea of living with their father. Below is more from the October 24, 2022, hearing.
“I do think we are moving in a positive direction,” the idiot junior judge stated, “in terms of they’re getting the idea that it’s ok to have a relationship with both parents.”
The kids are not getting this idea; they didn’t tell her this.
The judge is not only an idiot but a liar.
She also stated, “they {the children this idiot junior judge is forcing to live with their abusive dad} miss mom a lot.”
So, the idiot junior judge added one Friday dinner lasting an hour per week.
What a heart; I may nominate her for a Nobel Prize.
These kids desperately miss their mom, so she adds one whole hour of contact per week.
Currently, they already are afforded one Zoom call on Sundays and unlimited email privilege with their mom, so this should add up to a cacophony of time between the children and their mother.
Why if they aren’t careful, Amanda may even see three of her four children a whole three hours every week.
The oldest boy- ordered to live with his mom- is currently barred from any contact with his three younger siblings though, because she has such a heart, he’ll now be allowed at these dinners.
Commissioner Conklin kept the living arrangements the same besides that- meaning forcing three of the four kids to live in abuse- but she did add this caveat, “I’m hoping this isn’t going to be a long-term option.”
I am hoping for that also. The next hearing is in December 2022, and I hope that the idiot junior judge finally ends her experiment and restores this family to the dynamic which it belongs: with the safe parent having custody.
Check out the hearing from September 13, 2022, below.
J.J. = Junior Judge. I have often wondered what goes through the mind of a young child when he or she have been brave enough to disclose abuse by one parent, then the child is handed over by a heartless judge to the named, identified, abuser, then suddenly and forcibly isolated from the parent who kept a safe and loving home?
An extra hour is ordered to the visitation schedule for this mom and her younger children with the bizarre admonition to have an enjoyable time without talking about what the heck is happening, and why. Everyone is ordered to pretend that everything is okay if it's not....or the JJ will punish innocents with further isolation from the safe parent. This mind bending social engineering by JJs and associated third party appointees is driving generations of American children insane.
I have known children who were viciously sexually assaulted by a parent and were forced by Superior Court judges to make nice, nice with the perp during visitation. Any well educated person especially someone with a law degree is an idiot if they cannot figure out how asinine and dangerous these orders are for children.
Children live in misery, some are gravely injured and some die as a result of horrendous court orders.
