"Every time that a woman is allowed to file false and bogus Protection from Abuse orders and violations of the same, real domestic violence is not taken seriously by the thousands of people who have witnessed or been a victim to the false ones."

False Acussation Twilight Zone!

Editor's note: "Every time that a woman is allowed to file false and bogus Protection from Abuse orders and violations of the same, real domestic violence is not taken seriously by the thousands of people who have witnessed or been a victim to the false ones." That's what I said when we started the ground breaking series on Judge Hummer's court and custody in Lancaster County. (Click here to see the rest of the stories in TheCourtOfPublicOpinion.com)

While we haven't published anything since the story about Calvary Church helping to drug a healthy child (Click here to view story), it doesn't mean that we have discontinued the story line! In fact, this week will have at least three and possible four stories to "catch you up" on what's happen! - rh

Just how does a false accuser use the police, the District Attorney and the courts to stop a father from seeing his son? The following event occurred after Ben Vonderheide legally swatted away two FASLE Protection from Abuse charges, one dozen attempts at FALSE “Indirect Criminal Contempt” charges and one FALSE “Criminal Harassment” charge. Each of these charges cause pain and anguish for the accused and untold thousand of dollars in lost wages and time to fight for their innocence. Additionally, each incident was used to eliminate the father’s time with his child. 5thEstate.com walks through the steps for just one of these incidents which also costs taxpayers thousands and thousands of dollars for each time it occurs:

November 2003 – Wendy Flanders called the police and said that her ex-paramour Ben Vonderheide was making “debasing calls”. The police file “criminal harassment” charges against Vonderheide.

December 21, 2003 The court puts a “no contact” provision on Vonderheide. Flanders used this as an excuse to refuse to follow the custody order and keeps son from his father!

February 18, 2004 In response to Vonderheide’s request to modify the “no contact” provision of bail so that he could see his son, Assistant District Attorney (ADA) David Dye files a response and says that Vonderheide left “debasing messages” and that Vonderheide’s “…drug and alcohol use has increasingly become a problem inhibiting visitation and custody exchanges.”!

April 13, 2004 In response to Vonderheide’s request that the state provide copies of the supposed “debasing messages”, ADA David Dye writes a letter to Judge Stengel asking for more time because, “The Commonwealth needs time to examine those tapes to determine whether sufficient evidence exists to proceed.” Five months of bad mouthing someone. Five months of putting someone through legal hell and ADA Dye still had not even listened to the EVIDENCE! (Click here to view letter)

April 28, 2005 ADA David Dye writes a letter to Vonderheide saying in part, “…after reviewing the tape recorded messages provided to our office by Ms. Wendy Flanders along with all other reports and phone records made available to us, the Commonwealth has concluded that there is insufficient evidence to proceed with the charge of Harassment against you in the above referenced criminal matter” (Click here to view letter)

CHARGES ARE DROPPED! Can you imagine facing jail time and fines over something that you didn’t do? Can you imagine the pain and anguish of being accused and trying to figure out how to prove yourself innocent? And what about your child? The father didn’t see his son for FIVE MONTHS! The False Accuser’s mission was accomplished! It cost her nothing. The taxpayers paid for the Police, the District Attorney’s office staff and the Judge. All of this could have been avoided had the police or someone in the District Attorney’s office had taken the time to look at the evidence or more close scrutinize the accuser BEFORE filing charges and having an innocent man arrested.

Did the Police learn anything after once again being duped by the FALSE accuser? Did the District Attorney’s office learn anything after once again being duped by the FALSE accuser? Almost one year later to the day on April 27, 2005, Wendy Flanders called the police and made similar FALSE accusations. This time, Vonderheide made phone calls as ordered by the court’s psychiatrist! This time, the District Attorney’s staff tried to prosecute Vonderheide despite the evidence to the contrary. But it gets worse, believe it or not, the FALSE accuser got to have her victim have a criminal hearing right before a civil custody hearing! Can you imagine facing jail time and fines and then switching gears to have a custody hearing immediately afterward? Vonderheide was found innocent but the damages were already done. The pain and anguish had already occurred. The taxpayer? We paid for the police, the District Attorney and the court and their staff to help the FALSE accuser once again. What did it cost the accuser? Nothing at all, just more torment to her victim and more time taken from the father and his son.
