Alleged parental kidnapper arraigned, ordered held on $250,000 cash bail 
By JOHN KOZIOL
New Hampshire Union Leader

On Nov. 17, Kelley surrendered and was arraigned on that charge before Justice Peter Bornstein in Coos County Superior Court.

On Thursday, she was back in Bornstein’s courtroom for arraignment on the second count of interfering with custody. Bornstein set a new, cash-only combined bail of $250,000 — five times what he imposed on the first count.

Bornstein, who set a March 23 trial date for Kelley, explained that he was swayed by McCormick’s argument for the higher bail because Kelley had been evasive about whether she had access to passports that would allow her to flee the jurisdiction.

That win for the state, however, was offset by two wins for the defense. The first let Alan Rosenfeld, a Colorado-based attorney, represent Kelley; the second, rejected the state’s request to produce Mary Nunes so that she could undergo an “inpatient evaluation.”

McCormick argued that Rosenfeld had “poisoned” the pool of Coos County jurors when, in an article with a local newspaper, Rosenfeld stated that Kelley was Mary’s protector and Mark Nunes was her abuser.

That “pretrial publicity,” said McCormick, “was highly unfair and prejudicial to the state.” 

But Rosenfeld said there was no sworn proof or admissible evidence before Bornstein that he made the remarks.

The judge sided with Rosenfeld, but cautioned him to tread lightly, saying he would entertain a future motion from McCormick to remove Rosenfeld if Rosenfeld spoke inappropriately in public.

The justice also rejected McCormick’s motion to require Kelley to undergo a mental health examination, but he did agree that a condition of Kelley’s bail would be no contact with Mary Nunes or Scott Kelley.

As to compelling the defense to produce Mary Nunes, McCormick conceded he was on “flimsy” legal ground, to which Rosenfeld said there was no legal basis to order an 18-year-old to undergo any type of evaluation. Bornstein agreed, saying he had no authority to compel a “non-party” in the Kelley case to appear before him.

McCormick then attempted to introduce but later withdrew a letter from Mark Nunes. He also attempted to present to the defense team wrapped gifts that he said were from Mary Nunes’ siblings to give to Mary.

Bornstein told McCormick that the gifts should be discussed outside the courtroom.

In another twist, Bornstein — after having ended the hearing — suddenly reconvened it, saying that because there were apparently no plea deals to talk about, there was no need to have an in-chamber dispositional conference.

McCormick said he made an offer to Kelley, received no reply, but would welcome a counter-offer.

Rosenfeld said his client was innocent of the interfering with custody charges and that he would only let her accept a plea to contempt of court.

Both Rosenfeld and McCormick told Bornstein that they expected Kelley’s trial to last about two weeks.

Why I fight. The Top 5 Reasons I feel compelled to do something about Parental Alienation

5. It breaks children. Quite simply it is child abuse, but a big part of the problem is that most people don’t fully understand how detrimental it is not only to the families, but especially to the children caught in the middle. It’s not just the interfering between a child’s natural bond with one of the two people that a child is pre-programmed to love unconditionally---even though that in and of itself is enough cause for concern-- but it’s the emotional and psychological manipulation of the child in forcing them to surrender to the disturbed alienating parent’s demands to disown the targeted parent that is most harmful. The demands to which the child yields to for the sake of self–preservation. Think about that for a second. A child is forced to say that they hate and/or fear a loving parent whom they naturally love completely and unconditionally. Otherwise they face the wrath of the alienating parent which includes verbal reproaches, withholding of affection, and the threat of losing the love and support of the only parent that they are allowed to have in their lives. Its equivalent to saying to a child, “You’ve lost that parent (whom I am not allowing you to see) already, do you also want to lose me? Where will you live? Who will take care of you? Realize that if you don’t surrender to my demands I WILL disown you! 

4. It is Wrong! Parental Alienation and our family court system which enables it, is a fundamental wrong that needs to be righted. It has been called the civil rights movement of the century. Hundreds of thousands of children are caught up in this web of dysfunction which only breeds more dysfunction. Among the wide range of detrimental behaviors that are associated with being alienated from a loving parent as a child, the alienated child is also more likely, as an adult, to alienate their own child(ren) from the other parent if the relationship with the other parent doesn’t work out. In most cases they will usually have the full support and expertise from their parent in regards to how to go about it removing a loving parent from their child’s life. Additionally, some alienated children also find themselves being alienated from their own child(ren) as well.

3. I have a purpose and a voice. I have never felt more right about what I am doing whenever I am advocating or speaking out about this abuse. I feel as if I was placed on this earth for this purpose, That God blessed me with a three loving daughters still at home and a beautiful and supportive wife so that I may better fight this monster called Parental Alienation. I feel as if this challenge was placed before me for a reason. Parental Alienation messed with the wrong family. I was given a voice for this particular reason. 

2. No one...No one! Should have to live through this nightmare. Not a father nor a mother. Not a grandparent nor siblings. And especially not the alienated child. No one should have to deal with such a horrific and cruel experience as having their children systematically manipulated into loathing a loving parent as our family court system enables it and our mental health workers fail our children at every step. It has been described as a surreal experience similar to living in an episode of the Twilight Zone or in an alternate reality where nothing works as it should. It is disturbing that this is allowed to happen in today’s day and age. Disturbing! It must be exposed and stopped.

1. I Love and Miss My Daughter. And finally the number one reason that I fight is that I miss my daughter Megan. She is my best friend and I am and have always been a good father to her.  I know she misses and needs me in her life as much as my family and I need and miss her. Especially now she needs a loving parent. She needs me to fight for her, to fight for truth, to fight to end this crazy and senseless abuse.

So tomorrow, after not seeing Megan for about a year (Something that is so surreal to me that I have to pause, re-read it, and tell myself, yes this nightmare really is happening), Christy has agreed to allow our family to see her.  According to Christy however, it is me who hasn't been wanting to see Megan all year. "...you have not attempted to see her since our court hearing."
This is another direct quote from Christy, "I have been encouraging her almost daily..." Even if I were to forget the fact that Christy repeatedly perjured herself in court, intimidated a witness (Sherry Glendenning) into changing her story(even though it was audio-recorded), and filed false allegations against me to remove ALL my parental rights, there is still the fact that she is the "parent" who at every opportunity has interfered with my attempts to communicate and see our daughter.  And in the text below she has the audacity to imply that I have not attempted to see Megan. Why does she so blatantly and grossly distort facts? Well one she can't help herself, it is a learned behavior that has been passed down for at least 3 generations in her family and two, we have a family court system that allows this type of dysfunction and even encourages it. I am supposed divide our family and bring Sophie (only Sophie) to this exchange that is not likely to take place. Our precious Sophie, and set her up for a huge disappointment. Christy Garrison, a big difference between your family and ours is that we try to keep our children from being exposed to emotional abuse not thrust them into it. So, no. I will be driving up there by myself, and most likely be driving back home by myself as well. 
All my alienated friends know what happens next-- our family doesn't get to see Megan.

What really needs to happen, and I have to give credit to my dad who reaffirmed this for me, is that there needs to be a narrated documentary showing the insidious and grossly perverted way in which an alienator manipulates not only their own child but others' perception of a situation. In Christy's crafty and deceitful text this morning (her typical, gloating, victory lap text) she claims that I upset Megan by not allowing Megan to visit her sisters AND she exclaims how "very sad" that Megan is not comfortable with visiting just me and Tammy. Far from the truth and of course these texts are attempts to distort what really is happening as well as raise more questions than answers. 
What eventually happens is people don't want to go down this twisted rabbit hole. “This is just too weird for me,” their expressions seem to say. I see it in some of my friends and family even; they don’t fully get it and sometimes I lose them in trying to explain this. I don’t blame them. It’s like trying to explain something that has more twist than a Twilight Zone episode. I have to disengage after something like this, be thankful for my loving stable home, and just pray hard for Megan. This gets to be too weird and even a decent judge or mediator isn’t going to take the time to sort through this mess. 
I believe this is another reason it is so refreshing to speak to another targeted parent/grandparent.  I feel guilty that I get any satisfaction from someone sharing in this nightmare especially a mother or grandparent, but sorry, I do.  At least momentarily, then I think about how meeting another targeted parent means there is a child somewhere suffering the same kind of internal torment that Megan is going through. 
So yeah, I disengage. 
I think I will take the girls swimming in a bit.

This crazy life. 

Disturbing, I know. 

A staple of a controlling and alienating parent is that their psychopathology compels them to interfere or have to control over the communications between the targeted parent and their child. This has been an ongoing struggle in my life; having to deal with Christy (and Mike and Kaylee) while attempting to communicate with our daughter Megan. 

This following is what is happening now.
If I want to communicate with Megan right now I have to go through her mother Christy. I am expected to believe that Megan does not have a phone. That her cell phone broke over a month ago. So if I want to keep communicating with our daughter, I have to do it through Christy’s cell phone.  Then the message will be relayed to Megan or if Megan is around she can respond immediately. And for all I know it could actually be Megan responding. I mean, it really could be. 
The concern with this is obvious. It is awkward and so dysfunctional. But there is more to why this is happening now. 
There's the timing of everything. 
It just so happens that Megan's phone "troubles" once again come at the one time that Megan was most likely to reach out to us: Sophie's birthday May 9th.

SO Megan got "ish" for reaching out to us and apparently she is sick of people always making her feel that way. I bet she is.
Christy was forced to drive Megan to see us. It was a two hour drive. Christy brought Kaylee along with her. One could only imagine what that two hour drive here was like for Megan. 

For now, we are still able to communicate with Megan but through Christy's cell phone. 
Megan supposedly doesn't have a phone or its not working. 
It might be a stretch, but I guess one could argue that perhaps not every 15 year old girl has her own cell phone. But, if anyone believes for a minute that Megan would be allowed to go without a cell phone at her overly indulgent mother’s house, well you don’t know Christy. Especially since Megan has disowned her biological father’s side of the family, this type of unquestioned loyalty to the alienating parent along with the sacrifice of a relationship with her father comes with spoils in a highly dysfunctional family. So yes, Megan does have a phone, probably a nice one at that. But once again, I am being asked to believe that the only way to communicate with our daughter is through Christy’s cell phone.
So besides having to deal with this I am also being forced to send the following message for example...
                                    “I love you and miss you beautiful. Muuahhhhhhhh!!!” 
...to my ex-wife’s cell phone. Awkward. 
 
Again, this is not the first time that I have been forced to do this. But everytime this happens I am reminded of what has been suggested by some friends and therapists: That Christy still harbors some strong romantic feelings for me. Well, as disturbing as that sounds to me, it would explain a great deal. In the last few months I have read about and heard examples of alienators who also insist that the targeted parent work on the relationship with the alienator to consequently have a better relationship with their child. One example is in the video recording for Jacob Folkner in which the alienator makes the same disturbing request. 
My relationship with our daughter shouldn't be contingent on the state my relationship with my ex-wife. 

STILL...
That’s not even where the fun begins. The weird part is if and when I do get a response. Then I have to wonder who I am really talking to. I have had text exchanges where I get the uneasy (to say the least) feeling that I may not be texting with our daughter.
Unbelievable right?
Not really. 
I have been dealing with this for years. (See the example below)

In the example above, as in many of the cases, no one calls and I am left to wonder who I just communicated with.  
And yes, I try calling but then no one answers or worse, they answer, burp, laugh, and then hang up. Its a joke but my options are extremely limited. 

I am SO glad my wife recorded this. 

A surprise guest speaker, Joseph Sorge, director of the documentary Divorce Corp. spoke at the Stand Up For Gus press conference on April 25. His insightful talk, speckled with a splash of humor explains how our family courts encourage Parental Alienation and create incentives for divorcing parents to behave in a way that harms their own children. 
Hint: There are about 35 Billion rea$on$. 

It’s the first time that my wife and I have purchased tickets in advance for a movie. If you haven’t see Divorce Corp please plan on doing so. It is absolutely one of the most important and revealing documentaries for families in a long time. 

This is not the daughter that I raised. My wife and I continue to send loving text messages, pictures, and updates to Megan as we would normally be doing if she wasn't alienated from our family. She never responds. I received this text message tonight. It is less than nice and something that, as parents, would not be acceptable in our home. This kind of hatred is taught. It is passed down through generations of vindictive, alienating parents. Think about it. Who does something like this? ...and what kind of parent allows this? 
But even more disturbing than that, if you want to go down the Rabbit Hole that targeted parents live in, is that even though Christy is basking in the successful alienation of yet another child from their father, in public she may verbally admonish this behavior while behind closed doors she and her family are celebrating it. 
This is one more example of the way an alienated child behaves.
