More interference from Michael Garrison
Note the text message exchange immediately following the interference. (The texts are below the video)
At the end of the page, you will see another set of text exchanges from the next day. This time however, the story has changed. I have documented these inconsistencies so often that it is mind-boggling that nothing has been done. |
Step-dad interferes and violates court order On October 25, 2012, I waited in front of our daughter's middle school with a court-order in hand and I patted my breast, once again, to feel for the outline of my California driver's license in my shirt pocket. It was still there but that little bit of re-assurance didn't make a dent in my growing concern that our daughter was nowhere in sight. The release bell had rung a few minutes ago and the drove of students that poured out had dwindled down to a few scattered stragglers. But still no April.
The court order was just in case I had to call the Sheriff's department once again. The state I.D. was just in case my ex-wife questioned my identity. The last time I attempted to exercise my right to see our daughter, Christy insisted on seeing a proper I.D. I have known Christy for over 15 years and had a child with her 14 years ago and you can bet the house that she recognizes me on sight. This was just another ploy to keep me from my visitation with our daughter April. As insane as this sounds, this kind of stunt works too often. (On November 8th and 9th it will be that my court order was not properly stamped) Christy is very familiar with the court system; she has had experience with the three different fathers of her three children. She knows that a Sheriff is going to ask for a court-stamped court-order and proper identification. A few weeks ago, I drove the two hours to pick up April in our Ford Taurus, leaving my driver’s license in our minivan two hours away. Something that Christy and Mike would later mock me about calling it a “rookie mistake.” The sad part is that as wrong as they are in denying me access to our daughter, in this particular incident, as far as the law is concerned, they are right. After searching in the car for any other form of ID and my pleas for empathy from Christy fell on deaf ears, I got in my car and I drove the two hours back home. At least I didn’t have to wait hours for the Sheriff to respond and my wife and girls at home would be happy that I was home early. April should have been out by now. I stepped out of the minivan to get a better view. I looked around the school parking lot once again. I had carefully scanned the lot for any sign of Christy, Mike or Kaylee when I drove in and was relieved to not see them or any sign of their cars. As I turned my attention back to the school, I see Mike’s red Mercedes drives by, but instead of stopping in front of the school, it drives past at a swift speed at stops in front of the school gymnasium. As soon as I figure out what is going on, I grab my camera and start recording. The video shows what happens next. Afterwards, the text exchange is interesting as Christy can’t get her story straight. I went back to the van and sat stunned, silently for a while. A friend came by and I re-played for her what had just occurred. She is familiar with our story and like most people, I felt she was at a loss for what to say. I changed the subject. I called the Sheriff, but this is the only time that no one showed up. Instead, I received a call and the Officer Harding said he would make a report. I informed him that I just drove 2 hours and that her step-dad, Mike had no right to pick up our daughter in violation of a court order. He stated that an arrest was at his discretion and that in writing a report for me, he was doing more than any other officer in California would do in this case. He went on and stated that I could pick up the report at the La Quinta Police Department. (That’s a whole other story) |
Video 1: This is what interference looks likeImmediately afterwards, there was this text exchange:Joe (Dad) Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 2:48 PM
To: Christy (Mom) That was so wrong. ________________________________________ Christy (Mom) Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 2:48 PM To: Joe (Dad) What?? ________________________________________ Christy (Mom) Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 2:49 PM To: Joe (Dad) Im not home... ________________________________________ Joe (Dad) Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 2:49 PM To: Christy (Mom) Is this when you pretend you know nothing about this? Good one ________________________________________ Joe (Dad) Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 2:53 PM To: Christy (Mom) How convenient...where are you then? Let me guess close enough to where you will be home soon. ________________________________________ Christy (Mom) Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 2:54 PM To: Joe (Dad) I called April she had mike pick her up ________________________________________ Christy (Mom) Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 2:54 PM To: Joe (Dad) Coming into SL now ________________________________________ Joe (Dad) Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 2:55 PM To: Christy (Mom) Like i said convenient. Next week there's another incident where Christy is not around, but close enough. (Click Here) Afterwards, I call the police and no one shows up. Instead Officer Harding calls me and says an arrest for a blatant court order violation is at his discretion and he chooses not to arrest anyone. |
The text exchanges the next day...Notice at the end Christy refuses to answer some valid questions and how the angrier she gets the stronger her accusations gets. Again, a common theme with Christy.Joe (Dad) Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 8:26 AM
To: Christy (mom) I am going to pick April up today right after school. ________________________________________ Christy (mom) Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 8:54 AM To: Joe (Dad) I made an appt with shirley For friday... She is Not comfortable with going to your house for the whole weekend. I know you probably don't understand and you don't respect the fact that she is not comfortable but until you guys get counseling I don't think it's a good idea that she goes for the whole weekend. I am sorry that you have to drive all the way out here yesterday but I had told her that she was supposed to go with you instead she called Michael to pick her up. She is pretty adamant about not going to see you right now. I'm not What exactly happened thae last weekend she was with you. She told me about the shower incident and perhaps you see no big deal in it, but it was wrong and she is very upset about it. she is really having a hard time with all of this. Of course you're welcome to come and do what you have to do but I'm asking you to please just give her a little bit of time. This can be worked out Joe, go to therapy with her... ________________________________________ Joe (Dad) Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 9:06 AM To: Christy (mom) So April called mike behind your back after you had told her that i was going to pick her up? ________________________________________ Joe (Dad) Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 9:07 AM To: Christy (mom) Just trying to understand what happened. ________________________________________ Christy (mom) Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 9:10 AM To: Joe (Dad) I was in town and told her you were coming... ________________________________________ Joe (Dad) Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 9:11 AM To: Christy (mom) So you knew nothing about it? ________________________________________ Joe (Dad) Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 9:45 AM To: Christy (mom) Just want to know if Mike didthis on his own or if you knew about it. ________________________________________ Joe (Dad) Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 9:56 AM To: Christy (mom) Hello? ________________________________________ Christy (mom) Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 9:57 AM To: Joe (Dad) No he was unaware... Sorry im druving ________________________________________ Joe (Dad) Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 9:59 AM To: Christy (mom) He was unaware of that you and i had decided that I was picking up April ? ________________________________________ Christy (mom) Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 10:08 AM To: Joe (Dad) Joe why not focus on how to resolve the issues you have with April , this fighting with me is not going to help April . Nothing I say or do will make you change. It is exhausting... We are going to see the mediator on Monday perhaps we can come up with a plan, but the court order definatley needs to be modified. You can try to work out an agrrement or not, its up to you but this is only making things worse. You cant force someone to love you or like you, you should know that. Please if you truely care for April let her come to you!! But there are some serious issues that needs to be adressed and boundaries fathers should not cross. ________________________________________ Joe (Dad) Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 10:18 AM To: Christy (mom) Not fighting..just want to undestand if Mike violated a court order on his own...since you and i had made an arrangement for me to pick up April ...i drove 2 hours...was mike just unaware that you were okay with me picking her up? ________________________________________ Christy (mom) Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 10:21 AM To: Joe (Dad) Mike did not voilate anything... Ok seems you dont care about what I suggested. Unless you want to wrk something out, dont text me. Thanks ________________________________________ Joe (Dad) Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 10:28 AM To: Christy (mom) i think you and Mike went too far this time. Mike clearly violated a court order and neary ran me over in the process. Just wanted to know if April and Mike did it with or without your knowledge. Sounds like he did it on his own... ________________________________________ Christy (mom) Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 10:34 AM To: Joe (Dad) You went too far Joe.... April is mortified that you harrassed her while she was naked in the shower!!! Tell that to your professors and let me know if they think it was appropriate! April was adamant about not seeing you, i told you this before you drove here, but like always you ignored her feelings and concerns. She is really upset by all of this! Dont you care about how she feels? Mike was trying to resoect her fears and protect her-thats what fathers do. He saw you and called April and thats when she asked him to take her home. She is afriad!! @ ________________________________________ Joe (Dad) Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 12:02 PM To: Christy (mom) Ok...so he saw me? Where? And then he called April ? Thought you said April called mike? ________________________________________ Joe (Dad) Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 12:48 PM To: Christy (mom) Well...think of a good answer and get back to me...or answer these questions and more in court. I never heard back from Christy. Click Here to see what happens the very next Thursday when I attempt to pick her up again and how Christy and Mike "do not interfere." |
