From FB: Ashton Kucher’s efforts to save children from Sex Trafficking

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

I know that a lot of people have contacted me about their families being affected by the Sex Trafficking industry.

Today on Facebook, I found the following video submitted by several concerned members:

Apparently Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher are cofounders of Thorn which builds software to track down and eliminate sex traffickers.

I found the address of their nonprofit, Thorn, NFP, which is

Thorn nonprofit public benefit corporation CALIFORNIA 544 4th Street Manhattan Beach CALIFORNIA 90266

If you need help with your case, this charity might help and I commend these two fine actors for becoming involved in this field, where there seems to be no help for these victims.

From Candice Schwager–On Judicial Immunity–Sparkman v. Stump is actually an Indian Tribal Case!

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

On Feb 16, 2017, at 8:10 PM,
Indian Country is defined in Title 15.

The key case for Absolute Judicial Immunity is Spark v Stumpman. But both Spark and Stumpman were Native Americans living on the reservation. The Court Stumpman was a judge for was a tribal court, not an Indiana state court. Most lawyers don’t have a clue that the nations have their own civil and criminal laws. There is some state and federal overlap in the area of criminal law. Those are the major crimes act, the minor crimes act, the assimilative crimes act and Public Law 280. There is no state or federal overlap in tribal civil law jurisdiction. Under 1 Stat 20 section 34 the federal courts are required to use the law of the state for all state law claims. The federal court in Indiana had to use Native American civil law in resolving that…

From GSN Groups–End child brides in the US

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

While the US maligns other 3rd world countries regarding human rights abuses, we still have yet to fix our problems in our own backyard–and that is the serious problem with child brides.

If a girl is pregnant, with parental consent, a shocking 27 states have no law at which marriage is simply too young.

And a girl aged 17 or younger can be forced into a marriage she does not want, does not need and does not understand when she is young and has no real options to escape.

The US has to end child marriage NOW.  Girls can no longer be forced into marrying men, often those much older than themselves.  Many of these men will beat them, keep them at home without transportation, and the girl has no real escape options.  Children often grow up with a violent, distant father figure and are emotionally, if not physically scared…

From Ken Ditkowsky–Fixing the broken and trouble Cook County Probate System–where is Larkin on this?

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

Indeed, it is good to hear from you.   It is not good to be reminded thatIT IS UNSAFE TO GROW OLD IN AMERICA AND IN PARTICULAR COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS.  So far, the Ill. Atty. Registration and Discipline Commission, headed by Jerome Larkin, is giving favored attorneys a pass on perfidy in the court room. Why these attorneys are not investigated is completely unknown at this time, because all probate lawyers and many general practice lawyers know this is a serious problem, yet nothing is done by the authorities and the ARDC is used to cover up the problem.   
Under Illinois law, and in particular 755 ILCS 5/11A – 3b the Illinois Legislature has made it clear that guardianship is not  an invitation to exploit and abuse under corrupt court supervision convenient elderly people. A guardianship is very strictly limited to essentially helping a disabled person…

A good video on taking care of the elderly and making their final years fun

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

This  is why seniors centers are necessary and help seniors connect and have fun.

This is a heart warming video on taking care of the elderly in an excellent, thoughtful manner.  Other suggestions are pairing the elderly with college students where they life with the student in dorms (because dorms already are serving food and have exercise and athletic facilities and entertainment and parties) and pairing them in exchange for reduced room and board and tuition.  I think that’s a great idea.

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

Now I’m not saying the authorities won’t do much or you might have to report it over and over until they do something, but reporting abuse and neglect is very important.

From Ken Ditkowsky–108 arrested in sex ring in Illinois, 752 across the US

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

Finally, the authorities appear to be cracking down on the sex rings that ruin primarily young girls and women.

I know personally they are a mess after having survived human trafficking and there is NO help whatsoever for them and they are heavily damaged.

http://abc7chicago.com/news/108-arrested-in-illinois-in-sex-sting;-752-arrested-across-us/1746351/

There are several building that everyone knows are filled with human trafficked people, and the authorities do nothing about it, but apparently the clouted and elite want their pretty women–even at the expense of ruining them.  Generally, it’s the aldermen and the DNC that are involved and they protect these disgusting life ruining businesses.  These young people should be in high school and college, not held against their will for sex for the rich and powerful.

We all know that DT has lawsuits and claims against him for rapes that occurred during paid sex, and there are sex rings that exist for the wealthy and…

Great site on Dr. Karen Huffer and LAS or Litigation Abuse Syndrome

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

http://www.uglyjudge.com (ha, I wonder if there is anything left to the ARDC rule that no one can malign or impugn a judge after that one.  If a lawyer just types in this website, are they liable?  my, times are a changing.  take note, Mr. Larkin and your alleged staff of competent litigators)

and here is another story of corruption in probate in Los Angeles, Cal, this time by a police officer.  No one is immune.

http://www.uglyjudge.com/about-robert-gettinger/

I wonder why they never have any CLE (Continuing Legal Education) on either Corruption in the Courts (how many videos have I posted on that one) or on Litigation Abuse Syndrome even though just about every lawyer knows it exists and can take an intelligent, capable and extremely competent, successful client from a position of power and authority into a blithering idiot, nearly incapable of getting out of bed every day to face the…

From Charles E Lincoln–Burdick v. 5 Justices and how Judicial Immunity is destroying the US and its Judicial System

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

I just received this brief on an Alabama civil rights Lawyer complaining about how the concept of Judicial Immunity really has nearly no place in the US legal system and in fact is destroying it.

You can find this amazing brief here:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6FbJzwtHocwQS1KdVM3Q1FlQXc

And it has tons of quotes regarding limiting judicial immunity to the bare minimum, how the concept of Judicial Immunity isn’t even in the US Constitution, and how the founding persons of this country actually rejected the concept of absolute Judicial Immunity in favor of strictly constrained Judicial Immunity in favor of transparency and accountability.

It is explained in this Brief how it was the English Common law system that created Judicial Immunity based upon the fact that the King of the land was chosen by God, and therefore sat as God in a courtroom and could never, ever, do anything wrong.

However, going back as far…
