Lady In Red
My daughter was born on 08-09-1999, when the mother was living in a halfway house for single mothers, Libertae, Inc., Bensalem, Pa. (Facility primarily dealing with women who have drug addiction problems.)
Shortly thereafter, the routine of collecting child support begins. Like any action, someone files papers and becomes the moving party. At that point, prior to the first conference, the only information presented to the court is on the face of the petition.
At the conference, as the plaintiff and defendant sit down before the conference officer, in this case, Linda C. Fredericks, two things should take place within established protocol. (a) Time to correct the record if any errors of fact were submitted, and/or (b) to amend the record with additional information.
As the conference began, Ms. Fredericks sat behind her desk, in front of her computer, and while asking questions or responding with answers, she typed away on her keyboard.
(Shortly before the conference, I received an anonymous phone call, from a female, that the DNA testing was going to be forged. At that point I didn't know if it was valid or prank. Prior to the hearing I wanted to find out all I could about protocol, or what was the minimum standards of the court during such a procedure.)
During the conference, many strange things took place that only gave credence to the tip I received about DNA testing a few days earlier. Such as, when I asked to see the birth certificate, Donna said she forgot it. Ms. Fredericks asked for no positive identification of my daughter. Donna did hold up my daughter's ACCESS card and Ms. Fredericks look at it from a distance. Donna said my daughter's name was "Angel Rose Colasurdo".
I was insisting on DNA testing, not that I was denying of being the father, but for peace of mind since I was not the only sexual partner Donna had during the time she got pregnant. (What is ironic, Donna admitted to the court she had multiple sex partners. She created the suspicion. Yet, I had to pay for testing. )
Donna did not want testing done, hoping I would sign the Acknowledgment Of Paternity form. I refused for several reasons. One, that, on that day agree that I was the father and then change her mind before the 60 day period. (I felt her eagerness for me to sign, in part, was hoping to gain another stall factor. At the last minute change her mind and gain more delay.)
At the conclusion of the conference, Ms. Fredericks hit the print button on her computer, then walked to an adjacent room, came back with two papers for us to sign. She came over, stood next to me, wearing a handsome red dress, placed the papers on the table and said in a demanding voice: "Sign".
I told her I wanted to review them first. She started complaining that she was busy and had other cases and for me to hurry along. As you can see, there were gross errors of fact. My daughter's name read "Baby Swire" and had me, the father, giving birth. See for yourself.
What happened? I kept insisting she correct the information. Ms. Fredericks became angry, grasped the papers from my hands, slammed them down on the table and quickly made corrections. I kept saying I wanted her to print out new forms with the correct information and she refused.
After papers were signed, it was time to go upstairs to have testing done.
This is the second form signed that day. Do you see what is wrong? A form like this, first signed by a judge to make it have the effect of law, is sent to the parties, days in advance, ordering individuals to appear. If the father fails to appear he could be arrested for contempt.
Question: How can they make me appear for testing when I was already there? What was the purpose of this form? Second, how can they "order" me to do something that I did upon my own free will, voluntarily? As you can see, no judge signed the form. So, off we went, upstairs, to see the nurse.
The full reason why I called Ms. Fredericks, The Lady In Red, will be explained on the next titled, Mr. Eraser. (Click Here.)
Footnote: From documents I obtained from the State Supreme Court, names such as "Baby Swire" are given to children already selected for adoption.
