Why I Created This Blog

I have made a very difficult decision to start posting information and pictures about my daughter (Emily) and her kidnapping back in 2002. I hope to generate some buzz around the legal bias that exists against fathers. A father has no chance when it comes to divorce and the disposition of his children. He is 100% at the mercy of his ex-wife’s whims and all of his pleas fall on the deaf ears of the courts.

Here is a letter I wrote to the Judge presiding over my divorce and custody battle with my daughters mother.

Your Honor, November 2nd, 2003; my Son and I were abandoned by my wife - Molly Jonas, hereafter referred to as (Respondent). She removed our daughter, Emily Jonas (1.5 y/o at the time) from my life and the lives of her Brother Jehremie, Grandparents (Otmar and Ursula Jonas), Aunt (Marita Howry) and Uncle (Michael Jonas). The plan was simple and straight forward: my family would never see Emily again. 

I fought as long and hard as I could to have a “normal and healthy” relationship with my daughter; but it was the aim of the respondent and her family to make this impossible. They used every game in the book to beat me down in my efforts to be a part of my daughter’s life. Many of their techniques, I had suspected all along, were confirmed this year when I was approached by my ex-brother-in-law to assist him with his custody battle against the Coffman’s for his two children with respondents Sister. The similarities in the two cases and the hyper-involvement of respondents Father in both our cases are incredible.

The techniques used by respondent and her family to tear me down over time are as follows:

1.The use of a “phone trap” system so that I could not place calls to the in-laws residence, were my daughter was residing.

2.Requiring me to call and confirm visits the day before in conjunction with the “phone trap” to claim I never made contact and thereby denying my Son (Jehremie) and I our visitation time. 

3.The entire family would leave the in-laws residence prior to my visitation arrival, thereby denying me my Daughter. 

4.On several occasions her dad came out to turn me away for one reason or another – none of which were valid. On one of these occasion her father came storming out of the house waving a copy of a personal ad I had placed on a singles site ordering me off of his property calling me a pedophile because the picture I used in the personal ad included me and my children. 

5.When we had a series of supervised visits set up, the simply never showed up.

6.Her dad somehow finagled his way into being a patient of the Psychiatrist responsible for conducting the Parenting Study. The result of this was the turning of a positive report regarding me by the Dr. into one that was not as favorable. I believe that this is both criminal and unethical and needs to be investigated in its own right.

Here are some pictures of my daughter with me, my son and family. I miss her very much. If someone has any ideas about what I can do to have her back in my life, please let me know.

In short, the respondent and her family stopped at nothing to keep Emily away from me and my side of the family.When I was allowed to see my Daughter, it was in the in-laws home, in his living room that was canvassed by an array of video cameras setup to record my every word and action. My son (Jehremie) was allowed to see his Sister with me on these occasions up until the father in-law discovered that Jehremie had disclosed to his counselor that the respondent had physically and emotionally abused him. He was allowed no further contact with his sister from that point forward, causing further emotional/psychological damage!
