Does Washington State
Government Pandering to
Homosexual Activists Hurt Real People?
ALMA KIDD AND
DAUGHTER, HOPE ROBBINS VS. DSHS AND THE SEXUAL MINORITY
INITIATIVE
Earlier in 1995, WTV was contacted by Ms. Alma Kidd, a distraught mother of a then 16 year old runaway, Hope Robbins. Hope had rebelled at 14 and become the willing participant in a plan to have the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) intervene in her home by falsely accusing her mother of physical abuse. At 14, she could not know that the "cure" would prove far more harsh than the "malady."
Between Bob Larimer and myself (Sid Turbyfill), we have over 100 hours of conversation, study of written materials and review of court proceedings on video invested in our research of this case.
I can tell you unequivocally that what has been perpetrated against this young girl, her mother and our culture by the various state and local authorities and others is brutal and unconscionable!
If we allow it to continue, we have no right to claim the blessings of Liberty in America. Indeed, no basis for the hope that we might be treated justly should we fall prey to our elitist "rulers".
______________________________
Consider the following facts:
According to Alma, in 1993, Hope
had been drinking and partying with a too rowdy crowd.
She resolved to send Hope to an all-girl school if she
would not settle down and follow house rules. Soon after
Alma revealed her plans to her, Hope wrote in her diary
that she would run away rather than submit to girls
school.1
On Friday, March 26th, 1993, on
her behalf, a friend of Hope's complained that there was
physical abuse in the home to school staff.2 After two nights of other temporary
shelter, Hope was taken into custody by the state.
Although a King County detective and Hope's DSHS case worker, both concluded that the physical abuse charges were groundless 3, the child was not reunited with her family.
Although she had a boyfriend
previously, affidavits show that the first foster home
that she was placed with forced her to share bed space
with a 17 year old admitted female homosexual.4 Evidently the younger child was
seduced, initiating her into homosexuality. Hope's
indoctrination was soon to begin in earnest.
As part of her
"rehabilitation" in April of 1993, DSHS sent
Hope to Teen's AA.5
On April 28, Hope began running away from the foster home setting a pattern that would be repeated many times.
Hope's Diagnosis and Treatment
According to Ms. Kidd, DSHS found Hope to have learning and other cognitive disabilities plus medical and psychological disabilities all of which were exacerbated by alcohol and chemical dependencies.6 But, their approach to helping was somewhat perplexing. Consider that:
On May 19th, 1993 because of her
instability which included confusion, depression and
substance abuse, Hope was placed in St. Peter's Chemical
Dependency Treatment Center, Lacey, WA for 28 days.
The professionals at this
facility diagnosed Hope with severe suicidal ideation
which she confirmed by attempting suicide twice during
her brief stay.
Although they kept her in an
isolation unit much of the time, they advised the DSHS
case worker that their facility was not suitable for
treating a problem of this severity. They recommended
Pacific Gateway in Portland, Oregon where more intensive
Psychiatric treatment is available. St. Peter's was
prepared to make the arrangements for the transfer.7 Two days later, on May 27th, after
further consultations with the social worker, St. Peter's
changed course, rejecting Pacific Gateway in favor of
further observation of Hope.
By the time Hope was discharged
from St. Peter's, the prescription had been revised from
a locked facility to an outpatient program through
Horizon.8 It later becomes totally apparent
that they should have followed the initially prescribed
course of action.
Whatever other treatment the
state provided, Hope was, at 14, curiously sent to
regular adult AA.9 It
would seem only common sense to send her back to Teen's
AA where she would not have been exposed to a candidness
that was surely desensitizing and hurtful to a child of
such a tender age.
At the AA meetings, Hope was "befriended" by an adult female homosexual who had two similarly oriented adult roommates. Apparently, the AA meetings were having little effect on this adult. Affidavits of witnesses show that she and her roommates frequently threw parties inviting lots of children to participate in the alcohol, drugs and sex available there. Hope was one of them.10
The Highline Pacific Middle School staff that delivered Hope to the custody of DSHS failed to notify her mother. Neither did the DSHS make any effort to contact her. It was 3:30 PM by the time Hope's mom drove to the middle school to investigate Hope's disappearance. The Attendance Clerk at Highline School claimed no knowledge of Hope's whereabouts. The principal refused to speak to Ms. Kidd. She was unable to get any information from them at all and, up until June of 1994, no one would speak to her about her daughter.11
Officer Vic Williams of Des Moines Police Department called at roughly 7:30 PM on the night Hope disappeared with the first news that Hope was in protective custody. He came to Alma's home for an interview. He provided her with a phone number to call DSHS on Monday. But they, also, refused to talk to her about the matter. In spite of the DSHS command not to call them, Alma was periodically overcome with anxiety for the welfare of her daughter. She called every 10 days, or so, until about five weeks had passed.
In May, her daughter's second case worker, Chung Kim, called to ask that all of Hope's belongings be brought to the DSHS office in Seattle. This was accomplished by the second week in May. However, no information about her daughter's whereabouts or circumstance was provided to Alma.
In spite of the fact that she
was perpetually ignored by them, Alma continued to call
and leave messages for case workers or their superiors as
she pursued information on Hope's welfare.
In September of 1993, according
to Ms. Kidd, Hope's case worker contacted her via her
court appointed attorney. The pretense was to get Alma's
signature on a form authorizing medical treatment for
Hope at St. Peter's. That treatment was already completed
the previous June but Alma didn't realize it then. She
suspects that her signature was to have actually gone
onto a dependency release form but no documents
have been produced to date with Alma's signature.
Her fears of inadequate bureaucratic "mothering" were soon confirmed. On a late September day, as she left her workplace, she saw a carload of adults slowly drive by with Hope sprawled out in the back looking ever so much in a drunken stupor. Alma was later to learn that this was Victoria Asher's car and Victoria is one of the group of three adult homosexuals that she alleges is influencing Hope.
Mother's Love
Although she wrote several letters and called 117 times to DSHS in the first year and a half trying to get justice for her daughter and herself, she had little success. That first year, from the end of March through December, DSHS communicated only one time to Alma about her daughter.
Since DSHS would not return calls or give her any information about her daughter and seeing Hope in this circumstance, convinced Alma to begin searching for information outside of the governmental channels.
There was another incident too. It was October 16th as Alma and her youngest son, Dennis, were sitting in line at the SeaFirst Bank in Burien, WA, that a vehicle pulled up beside her with her daughter as a passenger. There was a brief but cordial exchange in which Hope introduced a woman named Kris and Alma detected the intoxicated state of both driver and passenger.
In a maniacal maneuver, Kris forced her car between Alma's and the vehicle pulling out of the drive-thru ahead of Alma - just missing a collision in the parking lot and again as she swerved onto the street. Dennis noted the license number and wrote it down. As it turned out, the vehicle was registered to an address that happened to be the home of Kristina Auxier's mother. Kristina was later discovered to be one of the adults using Hope (recently turned 15) for their sexual pleasure. The rape - formerly statutory rape, it's now called 1st, 2nd or 3rd degree rape - is confirmed in both case worker notes and videotape of court hearings.
More Discoveries Heighten Alma's Sense of Urgency
Alma called teens to get ideas about where they liked to hang out. She scouted out places like Denny's, Burger King and Mr. Ed's in Burien and Des Moines with Hope's photograph. Eventually a night manager at one of the Denny's restaurants recognized the photo of Hope. It was the 5th of January, 1994, that he admitted to her, a friend and her son Dennis, shocking revelations that they were totally unprepared for:
Hope frequented their
establishment 12 to 14 nights a month by herself, staying
all night.
She never had money for food.
So, the night managers really felt sorry for her, fed
her, let her sleep in a booth, etc. They wondered why she
was allowed to run unsupervised but they made her as
welcome as possible.
At other times, several grown women would be with her. They kissed, fondled and handled the child so cruelly that management forced them to move to a more private booth. Although the core group remained the same, different adults joined in at times and there was an obvious rivalry over the child.
Conversations with other Denny's employees filled out the picture. From October to February, Alma visited this Denny's roughly 6 or 8 times speaking with employees and young people who hung out there. Some of these kids knew Hope and had, in fact, partied with the adults. They identified all three of the women in the core group. They claimed that Hope's "significant other" or "lover" was a woman named Kristina and that she was suspicious that one of her roommates, Vicky Asher, was trying to win Hope away from her. Hope was now 15.
This series of revelations, beginning with the September sighting of her daughter and continuing through the end of 1993 and into 1994, prompted Hope's mother to increase efforts at communicating with Hope's DSHS case worker, David Richards. She started leaving emergency messages for him to contact her in late September, 1993. He never called. She did the same with his supervisor. He did not call back either. Finally, in mid-November, David answered in person and Alma told him what she had learned and demanded that he get on top the supervision of her daughter.
David never called back. In the mean time, Alma had a premonition that Hope may have had scrapes with the law. So, mid-December, she called the Clerk of King County Juvenile Court Records and found that Hope had run away twice, April 28th and again on November 11th of that year. She immediately called Hope's case worker, still David Richards, and miraculously got him on the phone. When she asked what he was going to do about getting her daughter stabilized, to which he replied, "I can't baby-sit your daughter."
Starting in late December, Alma began to receive more leads on Hope:
January, 1994, in Burien, WA,
Hope was hit by a Ford Bronco that left the scene. She
was taken by ambulance and treated at Highline Hospital
in Burien. The mother was not notified of that incident
(as required by state law).
On 18 January, 1994, Hope was
struck by her foster father so hard that she had
extensive bruising and swelling on the right side of her
face.12 She ran away.
In late January, Hope called her
mother at about 2:30 or 3:00 AM and cried into the
receiver, "Mommy! Mommy, they're raping me."
Immediately the phone was slammed down.13
On February 12th, Alma filed rape charges with Officer Randy Gerkee of the Burien police. He was given all the names and numbers of witnesses to her daughter's public molestation at Denny's, plus the auto license number, a description of the car and a description of Kristina Auxier who was known to be exploiting Hope.
Officer Gerkee was to turn over his report to the King County Sexual Assault Unit (SAU) in Seattle for a follow-up investigation and she should expect a call in within two weeks. After they did not call, Alma called and talked to Sergeant Cline who revealed that they had not investigated the case and that they were not going to.
Ms. Kidd called King County
Prosecutor Dan Satterburgh and explained what the Sgt.
had told her. He recommended that she call back and speak
to someone other than Sgt. Cline.
She spoke with Susan Fannigan
who indicated that the case had, in fact, never
officially been logged in to the SAU.
Although Officer Gerkee would
not return Alma's call the first half-dozen times, she
persisted and called his Commanding Officer who directed
the officer to contact Alma. When he did call, Officer
Gerkee claimed that he really had filed it.
Upon re-contact, Susan Flannigan had a new story and it's the same as the story Alma had originally gotten from Sgt. Cline, "Ms. Kidd, there's been no crime committed. You have no case."
On the evening of Thursday, March 3rd, 1994, case worker Richards called Alma to report that Hope had run away from her foster home.
Later that night, the foster mother, Mrs. Blackwood, called Alma to ask who would be paying for her daughter's care for the month of February now that she had run away? Alma took the opportunity to ask if she might visit the Blackwood's home and look for evidence of where her daughter could be found. Mrs. Blackwood consented.
She took two men with her; a neighbor friend, Bill Adams and a coworker of Hope's from Burger King, Wade Staunch and drove to the Blackwood home. A synopsis of what they found follows:
Foster parents drinking beer and
playing poker with neighbors in the stench of a kitchen -
putrid with filth.
Mrs. Blackwood revealed that
three adult women came at all hours of the day and night
to pick up Hope and that they were "lesbians."
She knew none of their last names.
She said that they sometimes
took her out of town. Also, the one named Micki was a
stripper at a club in Ballard, WA, the other two were
named Vicky and Kris.
She said that Hope rarely ate
there. Hope had not been to school in months. Later, in
May, Alma found out that, in October of 1993, this foster
mother had actually signed for Hope to drop out of school
at 15. Why? Apparently, once the state bureaucrats had
taken over as Hope's "mom", Hope attended
school for part of only one more month.
She confirmed that Hope had been
hit by a Ford Bronco crossing the street in January.
She also said that one of the women that Hope ran with was the driver of a vehicle that hit the Hood Canal bridge in mid-December, 1993 with Hope as a passenger. [Alma was not notified of, either of these incidents as required of DSHS by law.]
Mrs. Blackwood volunteered, not only to show Alma her daughter's room and to give her all of Hope's things so she could "make room for another kid." The two women went to the room accompanied by a couple living in the home and the two men escorting Alma.
Understand that Alma is extremely upset, and for obvious cause. She describes the scene in explicit detail in a letter of February 25th, 1995, to the now former Secretary of DSHS, Jean Soliz:
. . . what I saw was a filthy[,] pissy[,] stained mattress on a broken down bed fram[e] on the dam[n] floor. And homosexual drawings and devil worshipping drawings on the walls, dirty kotex in the floor of the bathroom, and the house smelled of body odeor [odor] and piss. There were pills and pot in her top dresser drawer, along with rock cocaine, the witnesses with me was [were] as shocked as me,[.]
In closing her letter, Alma says, I just pray that my child stays safe as can be expected in this system as it is, till we can get her out of it . . !
If the squalid conditions and total lack of any supervision at Hope's foster home were bad, the revelations found later that evening, Thursday the 3rd of March, were worse. As Alma and some friends sorted and inventoried all the items that Mrs. Blackwood had given her from Hope's room, she found diary entries that shocked and freightened her further:
Hope had written out her
suicidal expressions. There were, also, passages about
"wet women, blood, tears, pain and mud" along
with her relationship with Kristina inflicting pain in
her life. As Alma read the entries, the possible
implications for her daughter's mental and physical
health were horrific! To her, "Wet women" might
indicate the practice of urinating on the sex partner;
"blood, tears" - may be a reference to
sadomasochism or perhaps it refers to the rape Hope had
called about in January; and "mud" could mean
the practice of smearing your "partner's" feces
on your body during sexual encounters.
She had written poems with clear
satanic themes using terms like blood sucking and skull
crushing. There were many drawings of satanic symbols as
well.
She also had poems written to
her by one of the "support group," Vicky Asher,
indicating her homosexual lust for the child and speaking
of her "bond" with her.
Also, there was a note of the "wedding" date set to "marry" Kristina: July 29th, 1994. [Of course, that couldn't happen legally; so, we're not quite sure what they had in mind on this one.]
The evidence for foul play was overwhelming to Alma. She called the Burien police to get help. After hearing this mother's plea, an officer had Alma meet him near the residence of Kristina Auxier's mother where Kristina sometimes stayed. Another emergency delayed the rendezvous until about 4:00 AM on Friday the 4th.
After they met, the officer went to the home alone and inquired of Hope with Kristina. Although, she had been seen with her at the local Denny's just a few hours before, Kristina claimed she hadn't seen Hope for weeks. The officer was permitted to search the premises but didn't find Hope.
However, he did believe Alma's story about getting information on Kristina's earlier appearance at Denny's with Hope. So, he promised to keep surveillance of Kristina until he spotted Hope and he would pick her up and call Alma. Other events followed:
Alma filed a missing persons
report with the Burien police on March 8th.
On March 11th, she contacted the
King County Major Crimes Unit. Within a day or so, two
detectives came to Alma's home and reviewed all the
evidence for this serious situation and said they would
open a case, investigate, find Hope and call Alma ASAP!
On March 14th, the detectives
located Hope at Vicky Asher's apartment and, believing
the woman to be a corrupting influence on the 15 year old
Hope, they removed her to a Division of Child and Family
Services (DCFS) detention facility.
Shortly thereafter, one of
Hope's court appointed attorneys, Alice Zaleski from the
PDA, arrived at the facility with Vicky Asher to sign
Hope out of the facility and back into Asher's hands.
On March 15th, 1994, Hope's mom
was able to get an emergency hearing in King County
Juvenile Court with the hope of getting her daughter
placed in an appropriate facility for her treatment and
away from the "mentoring" of her adult
homosexual "support group."
Hope was not present in the courtroom at first. It appeared that Ms. Zaleski had to drive to the after-hours facility where Hope had been placed the previous night by King County Detectives to get her for court. As stated in point 4, Hope had actually been signed over to Ms. Asher earlier and had evidently been back in the company of her support group all morning.
Judge Maurice Epstein was himself shocked and appalled with the clear, gross mismanagement of the Alma Kidd - Hope Robbins case by the state of Washington. When another of Hope's court appointed attorneys, Paige Ulrey, stood to vouch for the sterling character of the three homosexual adults claiming they had Hope's best interests at heart, the Commissioner would have none of it! He dismissed the state's dependency and restored custody to the mother. All parties, the Assistant State Attorney General, Hope's Attorneys and DSHS representative, case worker David Richards, were in agreement to the dismissal.
The Saga Continues
Although custody had just been returned to Hope's mom with "all parties" agreeing to the Commissioner's decision, Hope's "supporters" had other plans. Outside the courtroom, as Hope's mom was preparing to take Hope home, she was verbally and physically attacked by the group.
The group of about 10 adults,
including three of her adult lesbian acquaintances, were
led by Hope's legal counsel. She had just heard the order
from Commissioner Epstein yet hurried to obstruct his
order when she rushed Alma and made first contact in
knocking her to the ground.
The 15 year old was whisked away
by the support group, after an incredible series of
events in which her mother was detained for nearly an
hour by Seattle City Police then finally served with a
"no contact" order to keep her from going near
Kristina Auxier, and forced to watch as the party of
supporters taunted her - driving very slowly around the
courthouse parking lot with Hope and shouting filthy
comments at her.
In an emergency hearing the next
day, March 16th, Commissioner Epstein heard Alma's
complaint about the attack of the previous day and re-iterated that the natural
mother was the proper custodian of Hope.
Although ordered to place Hope temporarily with an approved facility, her case worker ignored the order and, again, the child was sent home with her adult lesbian support group!
A Mother's Persistence
In spite of the repeated perversions of justice, Hope's mom persists. She asks a third time for a hearing to be held to demonstrate the gross negligence and reckless endangerment of her daughter by the state of Washington. The hearing date in Superior Court was set for April 18th, 1994.14
After the March of 1994 hearings, the craziness seemed to increase:
During one "party" in
mid-August of 1994, Hope (then still 15) was beaten,
forced out of the apartment, down 2 flights of stairs to
the parking lot below with no clothes on. When another
resident of the complex came to her aid, she was naked,
except for panties, yet refused help, insisting that she
had to regain entry to the apartment, which she
eventually did.15
Other times, she was observed
being led around the apartments bound hand and foot with
shackles and a dog collar and leash connecting her to the
belt of Kristina Auxier, one of those who would be
designated in court by Hope's legal representative as
part of her support group.16
During a period in September of 1994 when she had been on the run for more than two months, Hope called her relatives in Kentucky - collect. When Alma got the number from the subsequent phone bill, she and a King County policeman called it together. They heard a recording similar to a phone-sex line that entreated callers with a message and sounds of ecstasy to ". . . leave a message for Hope, or ____ or ____." Alma could plainly hear her daughter's voice on the recording. Although she reported the incident to DSHS numerous times on phone messages, she never received the courtesy of a reply.
Alternate Residential Placement (ARP)
Despite the fact that neither Hope nor her mom had personally signed, or authorized the signing of, an application for the ARP as required by law, the court pursued the filing as if it were fully legitimate.17 They scheduled a hearing for April 18th. This was the same day as Alma's requested hearing which they superseded and ignored on the hearing day. Instead, they focused away from the mother's claim and solely on whether the ARP should be allowed.
Hope's diary and case worker notes both indicated that she did not want to be housed in any more homosexual run facilities. The attitude of the state has been astounding on this point. Whatever else they insist is an appropriate program for Hope and Alma, they steadfastly address Hope's needs as if she were a committed homosexual in spite of statements like those referred to here that demonstrate a resistance to total immersion in the homosexual scene.18
Rape of a Child.......
The exact date of Hope's introduction to her support group of adult homosexual females has not been established. Presently, the earliest date implied by court documents is the month of June, 1993. However, there is some evidence that Hope was raped in a further grooming for homosexuality while at the St. Peter's Chemical Dependency Treatment Center in late May early June of 1993.19 Other facts include:
Hope's diary indicates a sexual
relationship with Kristina Auxier as early as August,
1993 just prior to her 15th birthday on August 18th.
Alma had convinced the Community
Relations Director for DSHS in Olympia, Dar Hendrickson,
that her now 15 year-old daughter's relationship with her
adult female homosexual friends constituted rape.
Dar told the case worker that
she "set up crime victims['] money for therapy for
Hope due to molestation's. . . ," quoting the case
worker notes. "Crime victims' money" is a state
program which provides dollars to victims to help them recover from the effects
of the crime. This is one admission of knowledge of the
rape.20
Another admission of the rape came when DSHS case worker Betsy Schelien admitted in testimony before King County Superior Court Judge Sellers on April 27th, 1994 that she had counseled both the adult homosexual, Kristina Auxier, and the 15 year old child, Hope, that their sexual relationship constituted rape. She even cautioned them that she might have to file rape charges to keep the "department" [DSHS] out of trouble.21
In a later hearing, Judge Sellers actually recommended to Kristina that she get a "no contact" order against the child. This is a Superior Court judge advising the pursuing adult to get a court order preventing the object of her sport (the child), that she (the adult) has been inappropriately involved with for nearly a year, from being able to legally chase after her. 22
Culpability of the State of Washington
In late January or early February, 1994, Alma reported to both DSHS and police that Kristina Auxier was sexually exploiting her daughter.
In the complaint filed against the
State of Washington, Alma reports that "On March 15th, 1994,
in the lobby of the King County Juvenile Courthouse, . . .
Victoria Asher, shoved Plaintiff [Alma] and shouted at her, 'That
shows how dumb you are, I'm the one who's
f_ _ _ing your daughter [a 15 year old child].' "
This incident happened in the presence of Kristina and Micki along with four to six others in Hope's extended "support group" (those who were extolling the virtues of the three female homosexuals, either in or outside of courtroom proceedings, as positive influences on Hope). Other witnesses include two security guards, two probation officers, Alma's court appointed attorney and a wheelchair bound neighbor friend of Alma's.
Exactly what kind of influence have these women, the support group, been on Hope? Alma believes that they have all been involved at various levels of training, disciplining, programming, and coercing her to believe that she is a homosexual.23
Furthermore, she has alerted the "authorities" to the criminal acts and influences perpetrated upon her minor child, but they have facilitated and encouraged this criminality either by failing to effect proper police action to separate the child from the offenders and prosecuting the offenders on the basis of investigative results, or promoting, accepting and addressing this group as sterling of character and giving official preference to the child corrupters over the natural mother - a sort of reverse Solomonic decision!24
One of Hope's court appointed legal representatives, Page Ulrey of the PDA, steadfastly endorsed the support group to the court as having a positive influence on the child.25
Final Thoughts
It was October, 1994 before DSHS
released the findings of St. Peters' Chemical Dependency
Treatment Center to Hope's mother -- 15 months after Hope
had been evaluated.
Every case worker she has had,
every legal representative (including the State Assistant
AG's) even some of the Commissioners and Judges have
admitted to their own homosexuality or have been
inexplicably biased (though some may not have realized
it) toward the furtherance of the homosexual agenda
operating in this case.
Hope has apparently been a
runaway for most of the time that she was supposed to be
under state supervision. At times, she has stayed with
her support group of adult homosexual women. At other
times, she has just stayed in a restaurant like Denny's
all night.
Both the DSHS and Washington
State courts have operated in extreme disregard for the
laws under which DSHS is mandated to conduct their
affairs.
It appears from the evidence,
that various law enforcement agencies have failed in
their responsibility to protect Hope by enforcing the law
they are sworn to uphold.
When, first, the Burien police
officer searched for Hope at Kristina Auxier's, and then,
on March 14th, 1994 when King County law enforcement
officers removed Hope from Victoria Asher's apartment;
they were properly fulfilling their duties in protecting
the public.
On March 15th, when Commissioner
Epstein dismissed the state's dependency and restored
rightful custody to a loving caring mother; and, when he
reiterated the judgment in an emergency hearing the
following day, he was functioning with proper
judiciousness. But, few are the instances in this case
where this beleaguered family has received justice.
The current case worker, Mary
Jane Peyton, said on December 15th, 1995 that Hope has
not been examined by any expert in the area of Child
Sexuality or an expert in alternative homosexual
lifestyles.
State bureaucrats allege that
Hope is a homosexual - "emerging lesbian" in
their terms. But, Hope has yet to publicly assert that
conscientious belief in what would appear to be the
natural proper forum, one of the many a courts of law in
which she has appeared where the examination of the facts
surrounding the state's "care" of the child was
taking place. In fact, according to the case worker notes
of June 13th, 1994, Hope is quoted as saying that she did
not want to be placed ". . . in any more lesbian
homes because they were too weird, political, and
pushy." Here, even Hope refutes their diagnosis or,
at least, their prescription.
By their own admissions, Hope's
"caretakers" claim their personal homosexual
experiences as their highest qualification for evaluating
Hope's troubles. They include various of her case workers
within DSHS and her case worker under the ARP, Resa
Wright of Youth Advocates (a non-profit charitable
organization that specializes in dealing with Gay /
Lesbian youth which is licensed by the state to review
and license ARPs and to help make placements).
Please God, no! Don't tell me that the people who diagnosed and prescribed the program of "treatment" for the reunification of this family, the people whose testimony was accepted as sound in courts of law, the very people who were hobnobbing together along with the child in their trust are people whose primary qualification for their position of sacred trust rests, not on extensive schooling or training in therapy in a clinical setting; but, it rests upon the foundation of their own miscreant homosexual experiences! Could anything be farther from reasoned or even sane?
Prescriptions for Family Reunification?
As would be expected on the basis of the goals of DSHS's "Sexual Minority Initiative" (excerpts after the endnotes) that outlines the program for the "homosexualization" of the entire department, the reunification plan mandated by Superior Court after the first ARP hearing is similarly aberrant. Consider:
The daughter must be placed in a
"culturally
relevant"
setting, i.e. with homosexuals.26
Various obvious duties would be
required of the child: get off drugs and alcohol, return
to school, stay at the ARP (don't run away), get
counseling, etc.
The mother must address her
parenting deficiencies in a regimented fashion.
In a violation of her
conscience, the mother must be evaluated by a
psychiatrist chosen by DSHS. She suspected he would be
meritoriously selected for his homosexual politics rather
than his professional qualifications. Since she was
required to pay, she opted to choose her evaluator
herself.
Additionally, Alma is to attend
anger management counseling along with counseling for
dealing the issue of having a "lesbian"
daughter, evaluation for alcohol and drugs (completed)
and psychological evaluation (also completed but not
acceptable to the state because of her choice of
psychiatrist).
Also, in gross violation of her conscience, the mother must accept her daughters homosexuality, attending and supporting Parents and Friends of Lesbians And Gays (PFLAG), a homosexual advocacy group!
A Continuing Battle
Because of her conscientious belief that homosexuality is not innate and irreversible and because of her refusal to accept the state's coercion to alter her beliefs, Alma has been repeatedly hauled to court and threatened with imprisonment on contempt charges for failure to comply with court orders that violate her beliefs.
Until recently, she could not find competent legal representation. In fact, her court appointed counsel seemed to often work to undermine her efforts to disentangle her family from the talons of DSHS bureaucrats.
Alma has appealed to :
King County Prosecutor and
Gubernatorial Candidate Norm Maleng to investigate as
directed previously by the presiding judge. She also
requested (based on her parental right as restored by the
court and the invalid ARP contention of the state) that
Mr. Maleng locate Hope and arrange for transportation to
the nearest facility capable of facilitating Hope's
treatment and recovery from drug, alcohol and suicidal
ideation - Pacific Gateway in Portland, Oregon.
Every level of supervision
within DSHS - beginning at the case worker and ending at
the Office of the Secretary, Jean Soliz (recently
"retired").
Governor Mike Lowry's chief of
homosexual diplomacy - the "Advocate" for
Homosexuals, Lesbians, Bisexuals and Transsexuals that is
a "liaison" to that community in his Office of
Policy - responded to one of Alma's pleas. Interestingly,
she did so on DSHS stationery? Evidently, case workers
were reporting to her directly!
Governor Mike Lowry directly.
State legislators.
Radio talk shows to get a hearing in the court of public opinion.
The more Alma strains to pierce the darkness of the governmental misdeeds in this case, the heavier the pressure from the state is becoming to abandon her crusade. She is now receiving veiled threats of having her 15 year old son taken if she doesn't back off. If she did, and this travesty played out through late next August when her daughter reaches her age of majority at 18, all hope of legal recourse to wrench her from her sad and debilitating lifestyle would be lost.
Ms. Kidd is totally committed to having her grievances redressed by legal means for the sake of her daughter, her family, herself and for the sake of the culture. WTV is committed, as well, to researching this case and others to document the patterns of abuse and pour the light of day onto this and other perversions of justice.
We are cooperating with members of the state legislature in an effort to bring the despotic elements of DSHS and Washington state government under legislative control within the constraints of the constitution. If you, or someone you know, has been, or is being, overwhelmed by "the system," especially if it involves the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), please contact us at the phone numbers given.
As we have in the past, we will apprise both the state legislature and the people of our state so that action can be taken by those most reliable to do so.

Vice President

records of filings, affidavits, discovery documents and
recordings (both audio and video) of actual court proceedings.

Endnotes:
1 Hopes diary was recovered from a foster home after she ran away. The entry was dated 3/23/93.
2 Hope's friend was a young girl who had recently admitted her plans to accuse her new step-father of molesting her as a method of getting him out of her and her mother's lives. The admission to Hope and Alma had come at their supper table the week before she accused Alma of abusing Hope to school staff. She later did accuse her step-dad but was successfully refuted by her own sister who shared her bedroom.
3 King County Detective Elaine Hood, the official in charge of the investigation for CPS, closed the investigation on April 11th, 1993. She called Alma and told her that she could find no evidence supporting the claim of child abuse and that she was closing the case. In her notes on April 1st, 1993, case worker Erica Christianson noted that she felt Hope’s story of her mother kicking her in the face was doubtful.
4 Affidavits not available before case goes to court. This witness is an adult with first hand knowledge.
5 Part of April / May 1993 case worker notes.
6 From p.16 of the Administrative Claim filed against the State of Washington with the Division Risk Management by Ms. Alma Kidd on July 24th, 1995.
7 From case worker notes of 5/25/93. The notes indicate that St. Peter’s was adamant in their prescription at first. From the notes, "Ms. Green [Sue Green is a counselor at St. Peter’s] will take necessary steps to transfer Hope to Pacific Gateway. . . ."
8 From case worker notes as reprinted on p.17 of the Administrative Claim by Ms. Kidd.
9 Alma called the assigned treatment facility shown in discovery records (AB Treatment in Burien, WA) and asked if they had AA for adolescents. They said they did not. They only had sessions for adults.
10 Affidavits of neighbor and apartment manager attest to multiple complaints from other tenants about the constant traffic and loud partying. Also, specific instances cited.
11 After Alma’s son Dennis began homeschooling, the school counselor came to drop off his books and assignments. When confronted by Alma, she denied that she had knowledge of how Hope had fallen into the hands of DSHS until Alma gave her a set of her own notes on Hope.
12 This according to affidavit of an adult confidant who examined the injuries sustained by Hope and heard her explanation.
13 Testimony of Hope’s mother, Alma.
14 These are not necessarily the exact legal terms used in asking for the hearing but they reflect Alma’s general intent. She never really had her day in court to address these offenses against her. Her hearing was superseded by a hearing on approval of an ARP or Alternate Residential Placement for Hope now that she is no longer a dependent of DSHS. Although only parent or child may legitimately initiate an ARP filing, neither Alma nor Hope actually signed the application. Whose signature appears on the filing? None other than Hope’s legal representative appointed by the court, Paige Ulrey. There are, also, several other requirements that must be fulfilled in order to properly execute a request for an ARP that apparently have been omitted. According to Alma, this circumstance leads her legal counsel to believe that the ARP’s, so far agreed to by the courts, have been invalid.
15 The good lady who tried to help Hope that night detailed this incident in her affidavit. Not available before the civil trial.
16 Affidavits show that this happened more than once. It is not necessary to be a behavioral scientist to realize that this type of exhibition serves more than mere social recreation.
17 See endnote 14.
18 According to Ms. Kidd, as of this writing, not only has Hope NOT stated in court that she is a homosexual and been questioned thoroughly to test the veracity of that claim; but, her current DSHS case worker recently informed Ms. Kidd that Hope has never been interviewed by any credentialed professional (psychologist or psychiatrist) in regard to the DSHS contention that she is homosexual. This is truly remarkable since her whole DSHS program is predicated upon an affirmative answer to the question. This kind of "case worker says that she said. . ." self-declaration of homosexuality by a child is incredibly untrustworthy and is exactly why we, at WTV, have been sounding the alarm on mentoring by adult homosexuals as a policy in some divisions within DSHS.
19 This is implied in a letter to Hope from another patient she met at St. Peter’s.
20 From case worker notes as reprinted on p.18 of the Alma’s Administrative Claim.
21 This was from the videotape of the hearing.
22 This rationale is not unlike that used by our current United States Attorney General Janet Reno when she filed the infamous brief in federal court promoting a new perspective of child pornography in which the photographed children had to be demonstrating lasciviousness. The burden of proof for the sexual nature of the material is shifted to the 5 year old! Preposterous!
23 From Alma’s Administrative Claim against Washington state.
24 The rationale used to prevent the reuniting of mother and daughter to date apparently involves three parts: One, Hope claims that she doesn’t want to go home. Two, DSHS suggests that Hope get her life in order. Three, DSHS demands that Alma address her parenting problems (DSHS parenting of Hope is a case study in how not to parent).
In the first instance, of course, Hope stays totally whacked out on drugs and alcohol, is perpetually on the run or in the "care" of her support group. In short, if she were to get dried out from substance abuse and secured from exploitation, her sentiments might shift remarkably. Secondly, as a consequence of her physical, emotional and relational circumstances, Hope is not reliable. So, requirements like finishing her schooling, doing various counseling and staying in foster or other state care just don't follow. Finally, the state experts who insist that Hope is a homosexual are chiefly comprised of adult female homosexuals (admitted on court hearing videos). Consequently, Hope's mother is not very thoroughly convinced that she has a life-long committed homosexual for a daughter. The state's insistence that Alma go along with their program of nurturing Hope along in her supposed "emerging lesbianism" violates her conscientiously held beliefs. So, she refuses to attend any evaluations, counseling sessions or organization meetings that she suspects will be affirmative toward Hope's supposed homosexuality.
Though the state has no hope or demonstrated desire to reunite child with mother, they are charging her with contempt of court for that refusal. She risks jail and, possibly, loss of her youngest child, Dennis, to the State of Washington. But she is not willing to abandon her own belief system at the behest of the state, anymore than she is willing to abandon her child to the ravages of a wretched life that our state government is fully supportive of.
25 From the videotape of October 13th, 1994 ARP review hearing before Judge Marilyn Sellers, PDA attorney Paige Ulrey gave a stirring personal attestation to the character and positive role model status of Vicky Asher for Hope and the benign, even benevolent, nature of Kristina Auxier and Hope's relationship causing Judge Sellers to remove her no contact orders barring Vicky and Kristina from seeing Hope.
26 Apparently, a "culturally relevant setting" could not be found in a state licensed facility (even one operated by homosexuals). As a consequence, the child had to be held incognito by the very "support group" of homosexual mentors with the most to gain (in terms of validation, pedophilic access or other non-altruistic motivations) by maintaining Hope in a state of ongoing homosexual behavior. Furthermore, they had the most to lose if Hope were able to get legitimate professional assistance, dry out from drugs and alcohol, avoid sexual encounters with adults, clear her thoughts and testify about her experiences while in the care of DSHS.

EXCERPTS FROM: The Department of Social and Health Services' Program
Status Report on the Sexual Minority
Initiative
____________________________________________ Before you read these goals and objectives, understand that what they represent, in light of the Alma Kidd / Hope Robbins case, is a formalization of an institution within an institution. They establish a structure and mechanism through which the "needs" for validation of grown up homosexuals and the needs (of, perhaps, some of these same "validated" adult homosexuals) for recruitment and "mentoring" (or artificial maintenance) of children in the homosexual lifestyle are addressed using our tax dollars. Herein, the unscrupulous among the homosexual sub-population can enthusiastically exercise the coercive power of government to further their own nefarious ends, i.e. recruit kids. ____________________________________________
