Hearing under Judge Harter Velasco vs Velasco Termination of Parental Rights
10-4-16


There were 3 rescheduled hearings due to Mr. Velasco's failure to pay.

Mr. Velasco met with Claudia Schwarz once for 1.5 hours, Ms. Velasco for 1.5 hours and each child met with Claudia Schwartz for an hour.

Since February, Ms. Velasco is no longer in a relationship with Justin Day.

This hearing was to go over a motion filed on 9/16/16 by Ms. McKellar and a letter received by the Court from Claudia Schwartz. 

Claudia Schwartz submitted an interim recommendation to the Court to suspend Ms. Velasco's visitation with the Minor Children pending a full substance abuse evaluation and C.P.S. report findings.

There was an incident on 9/8/16 at the daughter's school that Ms. Velasco showed up 20 minutes late. There were allegations by Justin Day and Mr. Velasco of her being drunk. The documented school report states, "She is under the legal limit" and was able to drive home and no arrest was made.  The report was submitted to the court.

Both Claudia Schwarz and Justin Day called C.P.S.

Judge Harter states on the record that he requested the CPS records, and continued to read the following: "Your daughter" states "she is afraid to drive with her mother in the car because she is drunk" He continues to state, that "this is said more than once in here".  Time stamped 15:24:40.

Ms. McKellar asked that Ms. Velasco to pay Claudia Schwarz for the rest of the evaluation, with a remaining balance of $4000.  Mr. Velasco paid the original $4000 over a 10 month period, which delayed the evaluation. 

Claudia Schwarz rate is $8,000.
Judge Harter orders Ms. Velasco to pay the $4000 to Claudia Schwarz, SCRAM for 90 days, and a substance abuse evaluation by Dr. Levy and removes the current custody order that Mr. Velasco is paying of $1,100 a month. Ms. Velasco is to turn over those checks to Mr. Velasco for the next 90 days.   
Ms. Velasco is told that if she doesn't pay Claudia Schwarz, per Judge Harter, "it's the longer you don't have custody" 15:32:25.

Ms. Velasco states, that Duckworth heard the same information, and she still has her 3 year old.  Harter states: "she should save her breath is she is going to bring up Judge Duckworth" "Did you see any of his cute little duckies anywhere around here?"

15:25:40 Judge Harter states about SCRAM "they give you all the rules up front, pay attention to them, because when I get the violations back I don't want to hear about an excuse"

Judge Harter terminates Ms. Velasco's parental rights.
 
Ms. Velasco is not given a chance to defend the false allegations.

Ms. Velasco went 90 days without any incident.

Ms. Velasco have not had contact with her kids for 121 days.

Judge Harter states he had no intent of cutting off contact.

Judge Harter states it was because Ms. Velasco never followed through with the 2 nd half of the custody evaluation.

Judge Harter states "right now, no safety issues as long as she is not with Justin Day"

 Mr. Schneider argues "Father is texting Ms. Velasco saying she is going in for a psychological evaluation Mr. Velasco has already set it up that Mrs. Velasco is crazy and going in for a psych evaluation"






Hearing Judge Harter Velasco vs Velasco Judge apologizes for misreading C.P.S. Report Part 2: 01/31/2017
Hearing Judge Harter Velasco vs Velasco Judge apologizes for misreading C.P.S. Report Part 2: 01/31/2017

 
Ms. Velasco is required to have an App on her phone that doesn't allow her to text and drive.

15:33:45: Judge Harter apologizes to Ms. Velasco and reads the CPS report as such: "not because she is drunk but because she looks at her cell phone when driving"

Judge Harter then proceeds to file a minute order indicating such, but in the minute order states it was the Child Interview and not the CPS records.

Mr. Schneider argues this case has "Justin Day written all over it" He asked for a court order that neither parent exposes the children to Justin Day. Ms. McKellar argued that no one can tell her client who he can hang out with.  

McKellar states there is already an order for no contact with Justin 15: 41:40. Judge Harter confirmed.  Mr. Schneider asked to have it reiterated and reduce it to writing.
Ms. McKellar argues for supervised visit. 

Judge Harter rules that Ms. Velasco does not need supervised visits and grants Wednesday after school until Friday morning visitation for Ms. Velasco.

Judge Harter states Ms. Velasco hasn't had any contact because it was based on what the children wanted and the accusations of domestic violence, not because of alcohol.

Mr. Schneider argues the two fathers are colluding against her. Judge Harter says "it's not the first time this has happened in here"
Judge Harter gives Donna Gosnell the power to recommend whatever she wants.  He is going to go by her recommendation.  No contact with her children until Donna Gosnell recommends she can.  No phone contact until Donna recommends it.

Mr. Schneider argues, Justin Day and Mr. Velasco are still hanging out together and the kids are still there.  Judge Harter's response: "It's funny how that works out" "She wants a double edge sword type of thing"
Hearing Judge Harter Velasco vs Velasco Evidence Suppressed 6/7/17
Hearing Judge Harter Velasco vs Velasco Evidence Suppressed 6/7/17

 

The most important item is that the judge committed perjury for the second time. He stated 3 times on the record that Donna Gosnells recommendation states "no contact". And it doesn't state that. It says, no visitation pending a psych evaluation. It is not the same thing. He did that to protect Mandy since she gave no contact. And he also suppressed evidence by not submitting Dr Levy's report to the court. Patricia filed it for the second time, & it wasn't on the minute order.










Too many cooks in the kitchen? "Judge Harter should run his own Courtroom without outside help"
