Dr. Craig Voorhees has recently been appointed to be a therapist for Melissa Hagemeier’s daughter.
I have covered Melissa’s story extensively. Melissa’s daughter is being forced to split time in Missouri between Melissa and her ex-husband even though her daughter has told police he has molested her.
In February, Melissa daughter was placed temporarily into a psych ward, after experiencing suicidal ideations, Melissa told me.
Now, Dr. Voorhees has weighed on in the allegations; in a letter to Melissa’s ex written on March 2, 2022, Dr. Voorhees said in part.
I was upset that {Melissa} placed her {Melissa’s daughter} into a psychiatric hospital. Just before {Melissa’s daughter} was hospitalized, {Melissa’s daughter} was doing so well in therapy that we stopped sessions until she had a problem. She was not depressed or anxious and she should not have been in a hospital or placed on anti-depressants.
{Melissa’s daughter} is having an excellent adjustment at your home. The Children’s Division caseworker that initially referred {Melissa’s daughter} told me that the abuse allegations against you unsubstantiated and clearly untrue. The worker felt your home was the best placement for {Melissa’s daughter}. In my professional opinion, if her mother continues to make false allegations against or tries to hospitalize {Melissa’s daughter} again, the mother should have supervised visits.
Below is an example of the allegations Melissa’s daughter made to police that Dr. Voorhees, and apparently DSS, now say are unsubstantiated.
Melissa was kept away from her daughter entirely from October 2020 to October 2021; after there was a new court order giving both parents 50/50 custody. That may be threatened.
Unbelievable—The doctor writes to inform the father and the mother is the last to know….shame on them both for making the daughter suffer. I can’t imagine what the mother was going through.
Holy crap, what a crock of pig hooey. If this same action occurred outside of a family situation that male person would be locked away in prison for X years then when he came out he would be identified as a Pedophile and placed on a Sex Offender Registry. For the love of God please explain to me why a father can get away with this with their own children when it is against the law in the "real" world? Why are there these Unethical professionals (people with a license, such as doctors, lawyers, psychologists, etc) getting away with this morbid activity. I do not get it.
Yes, I see that every day from twitter accounts, case after hundreds of cases.
But.... a big BUT.... each and every State(s) Board of Psychology and Medical Board should be being inundated with letters for each person committing Ethics issues. Yes I know, the heads of those boards may be in on the scamming. I see it in Arizona where complaints seem to be on the docket and then slide off into the dumpster.
I would like to see just one state, specifically Arizona, to have a legislative State Representative or State Senator campaign for votes with a high objective of cleaning up the Family Courts crisis. I wonder how fast the AFCC Cartel and individuals would dive in behind the scenes to have that person either paid off to not do that or funding an opposing tough competitor with funds and campaigns to go against that person.
Until Family Court corruption gets in the news as big or bigger than things like police brutality, BLM, etc.... the Family Court Cartel will just continue to run over the sane and Caring Parent. Sickening.
Thank you for all the reporting and depth of your work on this matter. We need more of you out there digging into more and more states.
One thing that would be nice is if there was a published list of states and within that state the worst Counties/Cities Family Courts. Another adder to that list would be the Family Court Cartel players in those areas that are unethical. Right now I know from my readings that OR, CA, AZ, MT, WY, TX, MO, MN, NC, SC, FL, MD, VA, CT, NY, MI are states I've seen with Cartel problems... must be some I've missed. I know Canada has an issue (Ontario), UK, Australia, etc. This is no small problem.
The fact that Randy Rand is still in operation is a mistake. Too bad Kamala Harris did not completely take care of him by forcing a shut down of his Family Bridges Brainwashing Operation in California. The fact that he is in cahoots with Yvonne Parnell in Ontario, Canada and that the two of them can conduct a 2 hour training session with Ray Branton and Joel Covert in Phoenix to implement a never ending Rand/Parnell Aftercare program on the good parent is a huge violation of civil rights among other things. How can a judge not see through that quackery is beyond me.
Every day the sun rises and the sun sets. For many that is the only positive view that child and good parent has of their day because it means they are still alive.

Not a very objective person is this doctor.
Nor professional and doesn’t recognize coercive control, child psychological abuse and “adjustment disorder.”

These cases go on a long time. Lots of people make money this way. That's why they do it.
