An unholy alliance of California Child Protective Services (CPS) with
a
hostile doctor and judge is attempting to railroad Laurie Jessop,
framed as a
threat to her son and the establishment for finding a way to cure him
of
malignant melanoma. She is now on trial, under a gag order, since she
had gone
to the press. When she was arrested, she was put in maximum security,
solitary
confinement, in the Orange County, CA jail. They claim that everything
about.
her says anti-Establishment, so she was told, as she was considered a
threat in
starting a riot.
On the morning of Sept. 12, Gary Null read on KPFK, a Pacifica station
in Los
Angeles, an e-mail from Ron Miller, who had met Ms. Jessop at the
Cancer Control
Society annual convention during the Labor Day weekend. They had
discussed this
persecution by Big Brother in the guise of saving her son from this
evil mother
who has failed to protect him! She disobeyed doctor's orders and found
a natural
way to cure her son. These forces arrayed against her and insisted he
must have
the cancer removed surgically and attacked with the standard chemical
fare. The
cancer is gone, but nobody in authority will accept that because her
doctor
doesn't believe that's possible.
The initial biopsy of the mole was done in February. Their regular
doctor was
on leave when test results came in. A nurse informed them of the bad
news. On
May 8, Chad Jessop had a follow up appointment with a medical group
doctor, by
the name of Dr. Masciana, who insisted he needed surgery to excise the
site
within a week, or he could die any day now! This doctor is a general
practitioner, not an oncologist or qualified to do cancer diagnosis or
surgery.
Chad and his mom decided to pursue holistic treatment for him.
Incensed, the
doctor reported her to Child Protective Services on the grounds of
gross
negligent child endangerment. She yelled at Laurie "all of you
Jehovah's
Witnesses are all the same," never mind Laurie and Chad are not
Jehovah's
witnesses. Dr. Masciana also told Laurie, with her son present, that
his death
was imminent. At the close of the appointment, Dr. Masciana informed
Laurie that
she was referring the case to Social Services. In further
investigation, Child Protective Social Services is a misnamed
government agency
whose employees get paid bonuses every time they take children away
from their
parents.
That evening Laurie called an attorney who advised her that she had 48
hours
or less before Social Services showed up. If she could not prove she
was
following doctor's orders, they'd take her son. Since Dr. Masciana had
created
such a traumatic experience for Chad, he feared the doctors and
threatened to
run away. In honoring Chad's wishes for continued holistic care,
Laurie took her
son to San Diego to continue holistic care using a number of various
alternative
treatments such as: ozone, hyperbaric oxygen chamber, hydrogen
peroxide, energy
work, Rife, nutritional supplements, and deep emotional work. Laurie
also used
"black salve" that she purchased from Canada to remove the mole
tissue. Black
salve was developed by Native American Indians more than 200 years
ago, and used
in the treatment of skin lesions, cancers, warts, and moles. Figures
our FDA
banned it, because it works.
When Chad insisted on hitting the road to continue alternative
therapies and
getting further diagnostics, that left a question as to where Laurie's
daughter
Crystal would go. A close friend of the family and Crystal's best
friend agreed,
and this felt like a perfect fit under the circumstances, so Laurie
legally
signed Crystal over to the family and gave them all the necessary
medical
insurance information. On May 22, the local sheriff and CPS had taken
her
daughter out of class, interrogating her mercilessly, telling her lies
about her
mother, trying to force her to reveal where Laurie and Chad had gone,
and then
forced her to go on a police joy ride and show them where they reside.
All of
this was done against her will and carried on for six hours!
They applied "Black Salve" directly to the area in question, thus
giving Chad
a holistic version of a large border excision. It took about two and a
half
weeks for the wound to heal. When it was healed Laurie took Chad to a
Del Mar
dermatologist for a biopsy. The test results were negative of any
signs of
melanoma! The next two weeks were concentrated on once again healing
the tissue
to get another biopsy. Upon the wound site being healed, a melanoma
specialist
did a punch biopsy and a complete lab analysis on Friday, June 15.
Again, no
sign of cancer could be found in the biopsy and the blood work was in
healthy
ranges with no distinguishing markers that would otherwise be present
in a
patient that would have advanced stage four melanoma, as had been
previously
reported! Was it a miracle, or an activated immune system in a healthy
young
man, with some useful help, that healed the melanoma?
The following Monday, June 18th, Laurie and Chad turned themselves in
to the
San Diego Social Services office, with all of their documentation.
They were
detained for 4 hours, then told that arrest warrants for Laurie and
Chad were
issued from Orange County. Chad was locked up at the Palenskie Center
in San
Diego for one night. He had 2 guards watching him around the clock,
since he was
considered a flight risk. When Laurie went to visit Chad they could
not have any
privacy, as both guards listened to every word that was said. Laurie
spent over
nine thousand bucks in San Diego for the treatments done over the five
week
period of time, and has all the receipts as proof. A new social
worker, David
Harper, was put on the case. He picked Chad up in San Diego
transporting him to
Orangewood Children's Home in Orange County for the next two weeks,
where he got
fed spaghetti and meat balls, food not fitting one healing from
cancer. One
aspect of Chad's treatment was a healthy
diet of living foods, but Ms. Jessop's requests of this social worker
that Chad
get proper food fell on deaf ears. He did tell her she was allowed to
see her
daughter graduate from Junior High School. She told him nobody could
keep her
away without a court order, and that she would be there! The social
worker
informed Laurie that he completed the paper work to lift the warrant
order on
her.
After her daughter's graduation, on June 21st Laurie went to make
academic
arrangements for her son, having missed five weeks of school. Laurie
showed the
documentation to the principal and vice principal. The Vice Principal
knew Chad
well, as Chad did his Eagle Scout project for him at the high school.
Chad is
now an advanced Eagle Scout. No matter, the VP called police to arrest
Laurie at
the school and haul her off to the county jail. The arresting deputy
harassed
her. When Laurie protested, the officer told her she didn't have to
like her or
be nice to her. After arriving at the county jail, her first telephone
call had
been to the social worker, David Harper, although he did nothing to
get her out
of jail, nor was he willing to help correct the record. Laurie was
physically
abused, they spread her legs twisting her knee, when she complained
they called
out "Resisting Resisting" then they pushed her violently to a cell
wall
(behind the cameras) causing her to twist
her neck, shoulder and arm. After being worked over, they took away
her jacket,
shoes, socks, and toilet paper, and locked her up. Her holding cell
was
extremely cold and she was deliberately denied toilet paper. She asked
for
toilet paper, only to be answered it must have been taken for good
reason and
she was not getting any. She was denied toilet paper from
approximately 3:30pm
until 11:00pm. One has to wonder, what was she going to do with the
toilet
paper, hang herself? By 11:00 pm Laurie got taken to be assessed. She
asked "is
this a madhouse run by animals, who is running this place?" Laurie
told this
officer her story for half an hour. He let her talk, then said he sees
all kinds
of characters, his job is to ascertain threats. He told her she has
the fire,
the spirit and the power to overturn the system and create a riot. He
informed
her she'd be put in solitary confinement, but she might get a
roommate, probably
a drug offender. She was forced to take a chest
X-ray against her will, without any explanation and ridicule from the
officers.
Laurie and her two children have never been in any type of trouble
with the law,
but were treated like hardened criminals. She was shocked to learn
women taking
showers have no privacy, that male guards are watching. The next night
she got a
58-year old roommate charged with kidnapping her children from her
husband 20
years ago, after being extradited from Tennessee on outdated bogus
charges
tagged with 200 thousand bail. It would appear that Orange County is
desperately
trying to maintain job security at the expense of the innocent!
Laurie was released on the streets of Santa Ana after midnight, in an
unsafe
area of Southern California for a woman, after five days of
incarceration. Upon
Laurie's arrest, officers impounded her van and turned it upside down
looking
for drugs. She had to pay over 300 dollars in impound fees to get the
van back.
Social Services approved the foster families that Laurie had arranged
for Chad
and Crystal. Now Laurie is on trial, forbidden to speak under a gag
order, by
the very judge that had issued the bench warrant for her arrest,
because she
refused to go along with orthodox medicine. The dermatologist,
appointed by
Social Services, testified in court that the melanoma is playing hide
and go
seek, that they'd have to subject Chad to unnecessary and dangerous
further
biopsies and medical procedures to find where it migrated to. The
dermatologist
further stated that the melanoma had become even more deadly, claiming
it has
now traveled to different organs. The prescription for surgery is a
large border
excision to the skullbone. Chad says he is old enough to defend this
country's
freedoms, but he is denied that same freedom of choice when it comes
to his own
health and he is also under gag order. Ms. Jessop intends to sue
anyone who
touches her son against their wishes. All Chad's
blood tests are consistent with a healthy 17 year old 6′2″ young
man. They
refuse to tolerate anyone trying to clear their conscience at his
expense.
Laurie says her record stands, she will not back down, and she wants
parents to
know they do not have to be intimidated by this system! The judge has
stated
twice that she doesn't want Chad to die while she is on the bench;
which sounds
like she has bias in the case! Surgery and chemotherapy had been
intended for
the following week. The doctor is still of the mind Chad could die any
day now.
When giving testimony, the dermatologist was asked if he could perform
surgery
on Chad, knowing that Chad would not cooperate with any Western
medical
butchery. His answer was emphatic No, he could not perform an
operation on
anyone against their will.
What Big Brother has been doing to Ms. Jessop and her children is
unconscionable, beyond outrageous, a gross miscarriage of justice and
an abuse
of authority. Many families have been torn apart by lesser abuses of
CPS and
modern medicine. The Jessop family is very united and strong in their
convictions, very aware of their constitutional rights, and will not
give up to
our corrupt system. Being a single parent for the last 11 years,
Laurie has done
herself proud raising her children and is extremely close to both of
them.
Laurie and her children have stood the test and this hellish ordeal
has brought
them closer together as a family. She said at the press conference, "I
am a mama
bear and no one is messing with my cubs!"
Laurie's deadbeat ex-husband, Marcus, has never voluntarily paid for
child
support or any of the children's medical bills, even though he is
legally bound
to pay for half according to their divorce agreement. She has had to
drag him
into court to get a judgment and garnish his wages in order to collect
on past
due medical bills. It so happens Marcus is in agreement with the
state, he wants
his son, (having had no contact for the last 10 years) to be butchered
and
drugged to eliminate this incredible cancer, that refuses to carry out
its death
sentence and is too clever to show up on tests. Marcus is in court
with his own
public defender, pushing for this even though he has no legal or
physical
custody, not even any visitation rights. If he was in agreement with
Laurie's
medical beliefs, this court probably wouldn't allow him in the
courtroom. Our
tax dollars, hard at work!
In the state of Virginia, a brilliant 17 year old young man went
through a
very similar ordeal, but won his battle with CPS. Once his case was
over, he was
instrumental in passing a new law in the state of Virginia. Abraham's
Law, that
gives a minor the right to make their own medical decisions when they
are bright
and understand their choices. Laurie wants to get her story out and
push through
a similar bill in California, called "Chad's Law," so that other
families do not
have to go through the abusive nature of a department that is supposed
to be
protecting our children. As "Roy of Hollywood" stated on KPFK
recently, who is
protecting us from the Child Protective Social Services Department?
Pushing
through a bill like this may be very expensive, but once Laurie makes
up her
mind that she is doing something, she is all steel, determined, and
will
persevere to find a way to make this happen. If you can help her in
any way,
please contact me via e-mail.
Orthodox medicine is unwilling to admit it does not know everything,
and it
hates competition. Its methods of treating cancer are not the only
ways that can
work. Ms. Jessop believed she could find another way, and her son,
given a
diagnosis of imminent death, is now free of cancer. Never mind, the
doctor is
sure it's still there, so Big Brother intends to make an example of
her as an
unfit mother for disobeying her doctor, putting her son in mortal
danger. That's
not happening, but truth often doesn't matter to Big Brother, as is
apparent in
most government policy. If Chad were actually endangered by not
getting
conventional treatment, the authorities might have a leg to stand on,
but in
this case, it's not his mother putting him in jeopardy, it's the
system! The
doctor has egg on her face, because she was sure Chad would die
quickly without
aggressive conventional treatment, and she has been proven wrong!
Instead of
learning from her error, she wants to make Ms. Jessop
and her son pay for showing her up!
I'm helping her get her story out. One newspaper did a story, but in
general,
very little has been reported so far. I tried to find the story
online, but no
luck. A press conference was held on Sept. 6th, just before court. Two
of the
major TV news stations and one of the largest AM radio all news
stations showed
up. KFWB radio ran the story immediately that day. As soon as court
started the
judge announced that there was a gag order on this case and threatened
jail time
and contempt of court to anyone (including the minor in question),
that spoke to
the press or anyone else for that matter. One of the TV news stations
didn't
want to run the story without interviewing Chad and getting his
viewpoints. The
judge denied a continuance six different times, ignoring all six times
valid
reasons for the requests. The judge also denied Laurie the right to
hire her own
attorney! She retained a law firm with her own money, but the judge
insisted she
has to keep her Public Defender,
presumably as a public servant easier to control than a private
attorney not so
dependent on the system.
If anyone reading this wants to help get the story out, feel free to
blog
away. I could give out phone numbers for Ms. Jessop or Mr. Miller if
you send me
a note at alexwren@... This blog is angryscientist.wordpress.com.
Laurie
can't risk violating the gag order, but she'd appreciate your prayers
and
support in her very difficult time of fighting our corrupt system in
order to
keep her family together. Thanks for taking the time to read this long
story.
Now that you know what sort of injustice masquerades as protecting
children, you
can do something to help wake up sleepwalking friends and neighbors,
trusting
"The System" to know what's best for the children, and adults too.

please contact me via e-mail.
Orthodox medicine is unwilling to admit it does not know everything,
and it
hates competition. Its methods of treating cancer are not the only
ways that can
work. Ms. Jessop believed she could find another way, and her son,
given a
diagnosis of imminent death, is now free of cancer. Never mind, the
doctor is
sure it's still there, so Big Brother intends to make an example of
her as an
unfit mother for disobeying her doctor, putting her son in mortal
danger. That's
not happening, but truth often doesn't matter to Big Brother, as is
apparent in
most government policy. If Chad were actually endangered by not
getting
conventional treatment, the authorities might have a leg to stand on,
but in
this case, it's not his mother putting him in jeopardy, it's the
system! The
doctor has egg on her face, because she was sure Chad would die
quickly without
aggressive conventional treatment, and she has been proven wrong!
Instead of
learning from her error, she wants to make Ms. Jessop
and her son pay for showing her up!
I'm helping her get her story out. One newspaper did a story, but in
general,
very little has been reported so far. I tried to find the story
online, but no
luck. A press conference was held on Sept. 6th, just before court. Two
of the
major TV news stations and one of the largest AM radio all news
stations showed
up. KFWB radio ran the story immediately that day. As soon as court
started the
judge announced that there was a gag order on this case and threatened
jail time
and contempt of court to anyone (including the minor in question),
that spoke to
the press or anyone else for that matter. One of the TV news stations
didn't
want to run the story without interviewing Chad and getting his
viewpoints. The
judge denied a continuance six different times, ignoring all six times
valid
reasons for the requests. The judge also denied Laurie the right to
hire her own
attorney! She retained a law firm with her own money, but the judge
insisted she
has to keep her Public Defender,
presumably as a public servant easier to control than a private
attorney not so
dependent on the system.
If anyone reading this wants to help get the story out, feel free to
blog
away. I could give out phone numbers for Ms. Jessop or Mr. Miller if
you send me
a note at alexwren@... This blog is angryscientist.wordpress.com.
Laurie
can't risk violating the gag order, but she'd appreciate your prayers
and
support in her very difficult time of fighting our corrupt system in
order to
keep her family together. Thanks for taking the time to read this long
story.
Now that you know what sort of injustice masquerades as protecting
children, you
can do something to help wake up sleepwalking friends and neighbors,
trusting
"The System" to know what's best for the children, and adults too.
