On With Tom Roten Talking about Transgender Invading Family Court and the Ten-Year-Old Who Got an Abortion after Being Raped by an Illegal Alien
There is still much more to be learned about the case which has consumed the media and public.
I was on this week with Tom Roten on his radio show on WVHU, where we talked about how the trans issue will affect family court.
Find the podcast here.
I had previously appeared with Ed Martin on the Pro America Report, Shannon Joy on TNT Radio, and James White on Critical Disclosure, to talk about this topic.
We talked about the case in Kane County and another in California.
There are two themes I have picked up. First, the courts will be far too politically correct to ever deem a parent unfit if they are trans or if they are encouraging their children to become transgender.
Second, I think the courts will use this as an opportunity. Courts love to identify problems and then solve them by appointing someone to charge hundreds of dollars.
In Kane, the case is a mess with doctors pointing the fingers at each other while the guardian ad litem doesn’t seem to have a clue and the court belows the answer is to appoint a custody evaluator.
In California, Kara Mikale Bendian is listed as the girl’s father but he’s not the biological father, but a woman who identifies as a man.
Earlier this year, he pronounced that the girl’s mother, Kristin Haynes, had alienated their daughter so much from him that now that the girl has understood what happened she no longer wants to see her mom.
“Since {their daughter} was 7 years old, Kristin has been the alienating parent and now that {their daughter} is older, she is no longer letting the alienation affect her like when she was a young child and is not easily manipulated. {Their daughter} is estranged from Kristin due to Kristin involving {their daughter} for six years in severe parental alienation.” Bendian said in an affidavit dated June 2, 2022.
The court quickly appointed a reunification therapist in that case.
I have created a solution to what the court is doing, and I should have mentioned it in the broadcast. It is the Elaine Pudlowski Act. This would eliminate all these court appointments like guardian ad litem, custody evaluators and more.
The court uses them to create business for court actors; they don’t solve any real problems, and, instead, they charge parents tens of thousands of dollars to render useless opinions and recommendations.
In the second half of the segment, Tom and I discussed the story of a ten-year-old who was raped in Ohio and then had an abortion in Indiana, possibly due to the new Ohio law which bans most abortions following the US Supreme Court decision: Dobbs Vs Jackson Women’s Health.
The story was initially broken by the Indianapolis Star who talked with Dr. Caitlin Bernard. Dr. Bernard claimed to have done the abortion. She provided few details besides the girl’s age and that the girl was a resident of Ohio but came to Indiana at about six weeks pregnant due to Ohio’s restrictive abortion law.
On Monday three days after the Supreme Court issued its groundbreaking decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an Indianapolis obstetrician-gynecologist, took a call from a colleague, a child abuse doctor in Ohio.
Hours after the Supreme Court action, the Buckeye state had outlawed any abortion after six weeks. Now this doctor had a 10-year-old patient in the office who was six weeks and three days pregnant.
Could Bernard help?
Indiana lawmakers are poised to further restrict or ban abortion in mere weeks. The Indiana General Assembly will convene in a special session July 25 when it will discuss restrictions to abortion policy along with inflation relief.
The story immediately went viral and became a flashpoint in the abortion debate.
Soon after, doubts began swirling around, primarily by Megan Fox at PJ Media.
She created a long and popular twitter thread.
She followed that up with several articles and soon a lot of doubt was being cast on the story.
Dr. Bernard was not merely a doctor, but an abortion activist.
There were no police reports, CPS reports, or any other reports provided to confirm the story.
The Attorney General for Ohio even went on Fox News to say he could find no evidence that any investigation had been started.
Then, a few days after this appearance, the story was confirmed when Gerson Fuentes was arrested for this rape.
Megan never explicitly said the story was untrue, but she did doubt it prior to confirmation.
As I told Tom, if I was tasked with investigating this story at the time, I probably would have been just as skeptical.
Megan and I are friends which certainly makes me biased, but until the arrest, the story was driven entirely by an abortion activist who provided no details and refused all follow up questions from numerous media.
When Snopes did a fact check, Dr. Bernard also refused to comment to them.
Since the story broke, there are all sorts of new questions.
Fuentes is an illegal alien and the girl’s mom was living with him.
Furthermore, when Telemundo tracked down this girl’s mom, she defended Fuentes, saying in Spanish, “Everything they’re saying against him is a lie.”
Fuentes had by this point confessed, however, her statement created another contradiction.
According to reports, it was this girl’s mom who initially made the first report in June 2022. Here is part of a story from the Columbus Dispatch.
According to court records and testimony from Columbus police detective Jeffrey Huhn, Franklin County Children Services made a report to Columbus police June 22, after receiving information from the child's mother.
Children Services workers are mandated reporters, meaning they are obligated under Ohio law to report any suspected child abuse to authorities.
If she made the report, why is the same woman now saying it’s now all lies?
Second, are any children still in that apartment now safe? Have social services insured their safety?
Phone calls made to follow up on this statement were not answered. It is highly unusual for a county agency not to answer either yes or no to the question “Do you have custody of these children,” especially in a high-profile case like this one, after being hit with media requests for the better part of a week. I asked Congrove if the county had put together a statement about this case for the public, and she responded, “No. And I apologize that at this time, I don’t have a comment for you.” Normally, a county office would make a statement assuring the public that protocols are being followed and the child is safe.
Reporters are trying to determine if the child may have been given back to her mother, who was living with the alleged rapist after the report of rape was made and before the alleged perpetrator was arrested. If that is not the case, authorities should clarify it immediately. The public has a right to know if Ohio’s child abuse protocols were followed and if government agencies have acted in the interest of the child and any other children in harm’s way.
When there is a rape of a child that is confirmed by pregnancy, it is unheard of for that child to remain in the home during an investigation. PJ Media spoke to two sexual abuse nurses from states outside of Ohio who said a child in that situation should not have been released home from the hospital where she was seen for the abortion. The public should demand to know what happened here because it’s their tax dollars paying for these agencies, and if the agencies are failing sexually abused children, the taxpayers have a right to know and demand changes.
CPS is as transparent as mud so it’s no surprise they haven’t provided any clarity.
Finally, how many other people who were living with Fuentes are also in the country illegally; how did he get here illegally and is there any child trafficking going on?
Megan appeared on her livestream yesterday to say, mockingly, “I’m sorry that I made the media do their job.”
As I told Tom, this story is not done and so no one’s job is finished.
