$250,000 Bail for Parental Alienator/Kidnapper

This Judge doesn't seems to be putting up with typical nonsense. No Commissioner Deborah Daniel so there might be justice and accountability.

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

LANCASTER — Interrupted by several clashes between her lawyer and Coos County Attorney John McCormick, Genevieve Kelley was arraigned on Thursday for interfering with child custody when she fled with her daughter a decade ago.

In 2003, Kelley, accused ex-husband Mark Nunes of sexually abusing then 7-year-old Mary Elizabeth Nunes. A year later, Kelley left Whitefield along with Mary and her new husband, Scott Kelley — both of whose whereabouts are currently unknown.

Kelley’s flight resulted in Mark Nunes being granted custody and a charge of interfering with custody against Kelley in 2005.

The U.S. Marshals Office has said it followed Kelley’s trail through Canada, Central America, and the United States. The case was featured in a recent segment of a nationally televised program, “The Hunt” with John Walsh.

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. 

Jury selection begins March 23.                More on Alleged Alienator/Kidnapper Genevieve Kelley

Why I fight against Parental Alienation

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.
