The Defendants’ Comedy Show: Exhibit A – The Inbox Special

Updated: Sep 7

Welcome back to the Defendants’ Comedy Show, where the punchlines write themselves.


On August 28, 2025, something big happened: the Court officially received Exhibit A (Dkt 306) — a 55-page record of emails between me, DCFS social workers Karen Bowman and Pedro Dominguez, and even my own attorney. These weren’t just casual messages. They were urgent pleas. From August 2 through August 13, 2018, I was writing over and over again: When can I see my kids? When are you transferring them to Lancaster? Here’s proof I finished my parenting classes, my therapy, my drug tests — what more do you need?


And what did the Defendants do? Absolutely nothing. Silence. Like I was talking to a brick wall with a county badge on it.


Instead of doing what the court ordered — facilitate reunification — they dragged their feet. They delayed setting up home assessments. They withheld basic information about drug testing. They flat-out refused to work with my advocate, Saul, who was trying to help me navigate their maze. It wasn’t neglect. It wasn’t confusion. It was deliberate. It was punishment for daring to assert my rights.


For six long weeks in August 2018, I was denied visitation with my children. That’s more than twenty-one days of my kids wondering where their dad was. More than twenty-one days of silence.


Now, that silence is on the record. Those same emails are in black and white, right there in Dkt 306. The Court has confirmed that my website isn’t violating any protective order — in fact, the judge herself noted that nothing improper is online. Which means this story, my story, can finally be told.


The County might not like it. They might even call it embarrassing. But here’s the truth: emails don’t lie. When a father keeps every appointment, takes every test, finishes every class, and begs for updates — and the people in charge of reunification refuse to even respond — that’s not a system working. That’s a system working against families.


So, tune in, because the receipts are out there now. And as much as they want to keep quiet, the silence itself has become the loudest confession. Coming Soon: Exhibit A – The Inbox Special

On August 28, 2025, I filed Dkt 306, which contains 55 pages of emails that prove what I’ve said all along: DCFS ignored me, ignored court orders, and ignored my children’s needs. These emails show how I begged for visitation, completed every requirement, and still got stonewalled.

Right now, those documents are in the Court’s hands. Out of respect for the process, I will only release them publicly after the Court approves them. Unlike the defendants, I follow the rules.

When that approval comes, the public will see the raw truth. The documents will be released once the Court approves them. The silence from 2018 isn’t just history — it’s evidence.

Stay tuned. The Comedy Show isn’t over yet.
