The unbelievably abusive and criminal behavior of the Portland Police in this case exceeds anything that I've read of in recent memory.
[Editor's Note: August 14, 2005. This story
picks up from an illegal nighttime raid by Portland Police on August 10,
2005 at the home of Roger Weidner
(former attorney, prosecutor, and candidate for Oregon governor) in order
to arrest Lynnae Lake and take her 9 year daughter,
Emily, into 'protective' custody, but the genesis of the story
lies in Lynnae's activities to bring legal action against a chemical plant
located 5 miles from her home in Michigan. Accusing someone of being a 'child
abuser', of course, and putting the Child Protective Services (CPS) dogs
on them is the fastest way, unfortunately, to take out a muckraker these
days The unbelievably abusive and criminal behavior of the Portland Police
in this case exceeds anything that I've read of in recent memory. The child
custody hearing on this case was moved up to Monday, August 15, 2005. Contact

Update, August 20: The genesis of Lynnae
Lake's CPS story is now more clear. The issue goes beyond a legal fight
with the chemical plant. Apparently, the city was trying to get Lynnae to
give up her property for development as well. Shennigans ensued. An earlier
divorce resulted in the father initially having custody of Emily, but Lynnae
fought to get her back. An older, disgruntled daughter apparently wanted
to live with her boyfriend and reported Lynnae to CPS as an abusive parent.
Lynnae fought the CPS and made a CPS case worker look foolish in Michigan
court, which created a vendetta motive by the CPS to go after Lynnae. Lynnae
fled Michigan with Emily to avoid having CPS taking custody of her younger
daughter. Lynnae and Emily were living in the home of Roger Weidner for
six months prior to the raid by Portland Police on the night of August 10,
2005. More details below, including statements from Lynnae Lake..Ken Adachi]

August 14, 2005
Portland, Oregon. On August 10, 2005, Lynnae Lake,
Family Rights activist from Michigan and co-host of "A
Voice for Children Radio Show" was arrested at the home of Roger
Weidner <roger@rogerweidner.net
> , long time defender of family rights. When Roger attempted to
discover why police surrounded his house and that of his 95 year old
mother.
Weidner was told by police "you know why we are here
- where are they?".
Weidner said he had no idea what they were talking about and
where was their warrant?
Roger was told they "didn't need a warrant". Roger
was immediately arrested and thrown into the back of a police car - one
of seven which surrounded his house. .
Twelve police officers of the Portland Police Department stormed into the house terrorizing his 95 year old mother as she took a bath. No names were called out, nor did they attempt to identify who they were searching for. The search went on for an hour.
Lynnae and her 9 year old daughter were in the basement calling individuals to say that the police had broken into Roger's house and had arrested Roger for unknown reasons and were pounding all over upstairs on both levels. Lynnae and her daughter were told by people on the phone to secure themselves as safely as possible while attempts were going to be made to see what was going on.
The police spent many long minutes banging around and just saying "Come out!. We know you are here". Finally they headed for the basement calling they were bringing attack dogs and "they" would be bitten.

Frightened beyond belief and in complete fear for their lives,
Emily and her mom prayed for relief from this unknown attack from without.
The dog was heard snarling and growling and the police saying "get
'em, get 'em" and "down, down" apparently to the snarling
animal. The police also said tasers
were going to be used. Again, total terror reigned as the mom and Emily
cried and prayed for this nightmare to end.
A door was kicked in and all kinds of shouting occurred on the part of the police. The police then pepper sprayed 9 year old Emily. Emily was completely without the ability to breathe and was instantly throwing up. Her mother tried to rinse her, pushing her under a shower and trying to get her to breathe. The police turned off the water and the mom turned it back on and the shower was again turned on and off over and over. The Mom cried out "for heaven's sake she is just a child!!!"
And the police pepper sprayed them again
with Emily once again getting the worst of it.A door was kicked in and all kinds of shouting occurred on the part of the police. The police then pepper sprayed 9 year old Emily.

Mom was thrown and tackled on the basements steps by several officers while Emily was ripped from her arms. Emily was choking and screaming "don't hurt my mom" and "I want my mom" while other officers held her.
Lynnae was handcuffed and hauled up the stairs and thrown on the floor of the breakfast nook. The police themselves were all choking, gagging and coughing. Emily was removed screaming from the house. The police said to her "it is OK, you can trust us we are the police". Emily said "you are the police, I DON'T trust you" and the officers said "oh, good parent to teach your child that!".
Emily was forced to watch her mom being hauled out to a police car and driven away, Roger Weidner, whom she also trusted, was also in a police car. She called out "I love you " to her mom and her mom called back "I love you too don't forget the phone" and then was gone.
Roger was then released from the police car while Emily was taken away in a another police car. At no time was a DHS/CPS worker seen to protect the safety of this little girl - but hey, isn't that the police's job too?

Cps is willing yo violate our constitutional rights as well.
ReplyDeleteBellow are emails I sent to my lawyer. Since Monday December 9th .
Today in court the caseworker said I needed to have continued supervised visits because of my petition against cps and their lack of careful consideration when placing the children with their dad over me. And because my words where an attack on (children's father)
You pointed out that this was a violation of my constitutional rights.
I was informed that I was jeopardizing my children's safety for this petition (mind you the children's names and the fathers names are not on the petition. They claimed I'd put pictures of my children on the internet (not my children, but my child's upper arm) and that this again also jeoparlizes my children's safety.......
And I quote. " dhs has concern that the mother has inapprepriately published information about the child welfare case on social media sites. Some of this information was a direct attack on (children's father) And include photographs of the children. This obviously raises concern about her judgement about the needs of the children for safety and for a positive relationship with both of their parents." (This is slander)
It also goes on to say "dhs shall allow mother to have unsupervised visits after a safety plan has been developed that addresses the appropriate way for either parent to raise concerns about health and safety of the children and inclusion of information and photographs of the children on social media sites." (Im already fully aware of how to keep my children's names and faces off of social media, yet I am to be schooled on this based on a manipulation of facts presented by (children's lawyer and caseworker......Oh I so much want to put their names here)
(As I've never published my children's names, their father names or any face pictures of my children , only my (youngest sons ) arm and the back of (my daughters) head, this statement is a lie about myself from dhs. This is a violation of my constitutional rights and a manipulation of the courts and I mean to go public with it)
But to clarify today's court hearing. I am to keep having supervised visits untill they get around to telling me not to put my children's pictures and names on social media sites. (Which I haven't done)
This is what justice looks like in our courts today..... It should rightly be named injustice and oppression of We the people and against our constitutional rights. (This was yesterday letter to my lawyer)
(Today's letter/ email to my lawyer)
Mother has made some progress towards the expectetions set forth in the service agreement. (This is written to make someone believe I hadn't accomplished all the expectetions in the service agreement)
If this is the wording facilitated to back their lies I want it changed. You and I both know this statement to be false.
Most of this court document is filled with lies. (The caseworker and children's lawyer ) told the judge I displayed pictures of my children on the social media.....And that their names where included along with (childrens father) claiming a direct attack on (children's father)
My petition....

And pictures above are what they speak of.
Perjury: the offense of willfully telling an untruth in a court after having taken an oath or affirmation.
My children's faces and names are not displayed on the web....
(Children's lawyer and the caseworker) mislead the court intentionally.....
This is purjury...
