I.F.F.O.C. has discovered that Worker's Compensation is on the verge of Racketeering or Monopolizing the system. I.F.F.O.C. has discovered that when you are injured at work, they use malisious tactics against you from the start. The tactics are as follows;
1). They starve you out, and attempt to get you to locate another job so they can accuse or charge you with worker's compensation fraud.
2). They pay and choose the doctors they want you to see.
3). If they get a bad report from the doctor, in which they do not like, they claim it has no provative value, and keep bringing in the specialist they want, until the get the result they are looking for.
4). They make you re-injur yourself and claim it is a new injury to start the whole process over again.
5). They pay the specilist, they get the results they are looking for.
I.F.F.O.C. realizes there are no winners here but look out for these tactics when you are an indiviual in a worker's compensation case.

Kansas Legislature Reviewing Private Foster Care & Adoption programs
Topeka, Kansas- KCEAJ has discovered that Kansas Legislature is reviewing the policies of private foster care programs, as well as, private adoption programs. The Kansas Legislature has recently discovered that these programs were initally to re-intergrate families back with their families. What Kansas Legislature had discovered was that these programs turned into family nightmares, due to Federal title IV allocated funds. These private subcontracted agencies were destroying families only to profit off of the corporate welfare system. The Kansas Legislature is now attempting to regain the peoples trust and turn these programs over to the proper state agencies to regain control of the situation. The director of the Social Rehabilitation Services for the State of Kansas is not out of fire, yet, due to the laxed oversight by these agencies to monitor these private subcontracted agencies or groups. This is still in the hands of Kansas Legislature. If your in Kansas and have been through these nightmares contact your legislative person in your area.

Court Family Services, Listen to Advice or Pay the Price
I.F.F.O.C. has discovered that Court Family Services has recently had many problems way beyond the normal family issues. I.F.F.O.C. has discovered that sometimes SRS {Social Rehabilitation Services}, DFS {Division of Family Services}, DPS {Division of Protective Services}, CPS {Children Protective Services}, will sub-contract out services to private organizations, such as foster care, or family services, due to a consistent overload of services, as well as, for plausible denial ability. Most people are under the belief that these agencies are working for the average family. As usual, they are wrong. These private groups or services attempt to keep your children in the system to draw a paycheck, as well as, Title IV funds from Federal allocated dollars.
Some of the tricks include concur and divide—which is they cut off your access from all the records, so you are not informed. They will either miss appointments during visitation, or family time, to see you loose control, and then use it against you in a court of law. They will also change the family case management plan in order to keep your goals to obtaining your children far enough out of reach where you cannot obtain your children. They will even go as far as having you do a psychological evaluation and either use it against you, to prevent your children from coming home, so they can draw a paycheck. Hopefully you will not get caught up in this sick twisted scam. They will advise you it is for the best interest of your children, but in actuality, it is to keep you behind the eight ball, and not let you get access to your children. They will also even change the family case management plan after you sign it first. Look out for these tricks and stay ahead of the game. Do not give them the satisfaction to make you loose control. Remain calm and read everything before you sign it. Always get and keep a copy of all records. Do not attempt to call these individuals, always get conversations in written form. This way they cannot change the conversation against you.
You must understand that yes, there are abusive parents and these are the standard procedures or protocol to protect the child in need of care, but do not let them run you through a dog and pony show if it is not needed. Think it through before you act, and they cannot play the disgruntle parent card against you. I do realize that you are going through an emotional time, with them possessing your child or children, but keep calm and always think ahead before you act or speak. They get paid the big bucks to make you loose control. Use the KISS theory {Keep it simple stupid} don’t let it get complicated.

Mishandling Foster Care funds
Study accuses SRS of mishandling foster care funds meant for teen-agers.
Daisy DeKnight is putting herself through college at Kansas University. A sophomore majoring in psychology, DeKnight was in Kansas' foster care system until "aging out"at 18 years old. She didn't know she was eligible for a stipend.

February 24, 2002
Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services has squandered more than $2.5 million in federal grants intended to help teen-agers in the state's foster care system, according to a recent study by a Wichita-based advocacy group. There's a large amount of evidence that shows the money is not getting to these kids," said Gaye Tibbets, executive director of the Kansas Appleseed Center for Law and Justice. Most of the children, about 200 a year, leave the system with no family, few friends and a troubled past. “As a group they have a very hardtime making it," Tibbets said.
Aiming to help, Congress passed a law, the John H. Chaffee Foster Care Independence Program of 1999, making money available to states for programs that teach older foster children, ages 16 to 21, to live on their own. Stipends also are available.
Kansas got $1 million in Chaffee funds last year, $1.6 million this year.
SRS gives most of the money to private contractors who provide the state foster care services.
SRS expects the contractors to spend the money on independent living programs for 16-, 17-, and 18-year-olds in foster care. But how much of the money actually reaches the teen-agers is anybody's guess, Tibbets said. “The contract requirements for independent living are, at best, vague," she said. "Nobody seems to know what they are." SRS' lackluster oversight, Tibbets said, led to the department's being cited in a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services audit last year for allowing children to exit the system when they turn 18 "without the necessary life-skills training."
Only about 5 percent of the state's Chaffee funds are set aside for 19-, 20-, and 21-year-olds.
Misspent funds?
Marilyn Jacobson, assistant secretary in charge of children and family policy at SRS, said the department has been addressing issues raised in the HHS audit. But that, she said, doesn't mean SRS has misspent funds.
"We are confident that we're using our Chaffee funding in ways that are authorized," she said.
Jacobson attributed much of Tibbets' criticism to legitimate disagreements on how the money should be spent.
"Professionals in the social service arena don't always agree," she said, noting that contractor records show that 2,000 children in the state's foster care and adoption programs received independent living services last year.
Tibbets said she finds that hard to believe. During her research, she said, social workers and foster parents often complained of independent living services being sporadic and ineffective.
"One foster mother said her teen's independent living class kept being canceled," Tibbets said. "And then when they'd finally meet, all they did was show movies on AIDS prevention."
Tibbets also found that few workers in the foster care and adoption systems are aware that older teens might be eligible for stipends of up to $400 a month.
As part of her research, Tibbets called eight of SRS' 11 area offices and asked if they could help an 18-year-old former foster child interested in going to college.
Of the eight offices called, only two Lawrence and Topeka knew anything about the stipends, Tibbets said.
"I've been a lawyer for 15 years," Tibbets said, "If I couldn't find this information, why would you expect an 18-year-old former foster child to find it?"
Jacobson disputed Tibbets' finding, noting that after the study's release last week, several area office directors called to let her know they were aware of the stipends being available.
"If anyone is interested, they should call their area (SRS) office and ask to speak to the social service chief," she said.

Chicago Judges 40 million dollar fund
I.F.F.O.C. Opens up on a $40 million Dollar Bribery fund.
Chicago, IL - I.F.F.O.C. was contracted out by McCook Metals to find fraud and corruption within a Federal Bankruptcy case. I.F.F.O.C. can now disclose to the public their findings within this case. I.F.F.O.C. had contracted a Federal Auditor to assist in the investigation. I.F.F.O.C. had known about operation “Grey Lord” case just years prior to this case, in which had exposed corrupt judges within Cook County, Illinois, but did not realize that the corruption went all the way up to the Federal Courts. I.F.F.O.C.’s investigation had shown that criminals in black robes were not foreign to this city. I.F.F.O.C. was also familiar with the Honorable Eugene Wedoff in the “Untied Airlines” in United Airlines bankruptcy case, where he stripped the workers of their pensions and payouts, in which was owed to them. I.F.F.O.C. was also aware of the European case, in which McCook had won against Alcoa and General Electric. I.F.F.O.C. and Federal Auditors had discovered the following:
1). U.S. Chief Judge Wedoff is personally overseeing a $40 million dollar bribery fund in the Cayman Islands.
2). U.S. Chief Judge Wedoff admitted under court testimony to Mr. Price, {President of I.F.F.O.C.} that he had received residuals from his prior law firm {Jenner & Block}, who represented a French aluminum company {Pechiney}, and also was a Defendant in this case, in which was a direct conflict of interest within this case, and U.S. Chief Judge Wedoff, should have withdrawn from this case immediately, under conflicts of interest, but still refused to comply with the law.
3). During the investigation, it was discovered McCook Metals and Scottsborro Aluminum was never sold to French aluminum company {Pechiney}. Instead the McCook Metals was to
anufacturing equipment and the U.S. Military contracts were assigned to Alcoa with no formal written agreement or court order, as law mandates.
4). Seyfarth Shaw, General Electric, and Alcoa conspired to raise aluminum prices for the U.S. Military, without any accountability, as law mandates during a bankruptcy proceeding.
5). The U.S. Trustee {David Leibowitz} appointed to handle the case, daughter Debra Gordon was a partner at Seyfarth Shaw, in which was also a Defendant in this action.
6). All McCook and Scottsborro Aluminum manufacturing equipment currently are in Alcoa plants.
7). I.F.F.O.C. had also discovered that illegal wiretapping, by attorneys on Michael Lynch’s personal home was used to obtain access of Mr. Lynch’s personal records.
I.F.F.O.C. had discovered how the courts covered it up without any proper oversight and procedures, which is not as the bankruptcy statutes regulate. I.F.F.O.C. also had discovered that the courts had knowledge of illegal theft, wiretapping, bribery, extortion, mail fraud, racketeering, and conspiracy to commit crimes, in which occurred during this case, but still allowed these illegal acts to continue, in which implicated the judges covering these illegal acts up.
I.F.F.O.C. realizes that the courts and judges had a fiduciary duty to protect all parties’ rights, in a bankruptcy case, but failed to act accordingly, or report it to the United States Attorney, for possible prosecution of the U.S. Trustee, for allowing these acts to occur on his watch, over this case.
At some point and time their has to be some kind of oversight in these types of cases to protect the debtor, as well as, the creditors, unless it is wall street and we just bail them out, without any questions. Otherwise it becomes a free for all and the debtor suffers everything without any kind of consequence for those people assigned to protect you from harm, who steal your assets under the color of law, and the black robes of justice. I.F.F.O.C. has discovered that once you turn your life over to a bankruptcy court, they control everything else without any kind of procedures, oversight, or consequences, to protect you from injury of greedy individuals who take advantage of your situation, and completely ruin your life, sell off your assets, without oversight, and then make you compensate the difference. I.F.F.O.C. labels this as come on down and get your assets stolen, and you pay out the difference, without any questions, better known as theft before regulations. I.F.F.O.C. advises people not to turn your life and assets over to a bankruptcy court of greedy individuals who are trained to do this on a regular basis.
I.F.F.O.C. has realized that the courts are covering up this type of corruption for years. I.F.F.O.C. feels it is his civic duty to bring this out to the American public so they do not fall for the same political corruption or illegal dealings with these individuals, and they can protect what is rightfully theirs. I.F.F.O.C. realizes they will attempt to discredit his organization to protect their status quo, but the truth has to be told. And I.F.F.O.C. will let the chips fall where they may or let the Heavens fall, because this type of corruption effects us all.

Federal Fund Programs
Federal Fund Programs, Do they really work, or do they Complicate Federal, State, or City Agencies?
Federal Funds are now becoming a city and statewide welfare reform program, in which are now complicating Federal, State, or City Agencies. I.F.F.O.C.’s investigation has discovered that these Title IV Federal Grants or Title IV Federal Programs, which were designed to assist these agencies, are now complicating what the original program was designed for.
For example: Your local Police Department receives Federal Grants to resolve crime, so now they create a special task force to resolve the special issue of crime for the program they are receiving the federal funds. Then the local residence discovers that the Police officers handling the rest of the city are no longer available for the rest of the public issues, due to their time spent on the Federal Grant or Federal Program they are currently working under. So do these Federal Programs actually assist or hinder the average citizens, cities, or state funded programs, or are these agencies abusing these federal funds, as a welfare reform programs, to assist them with receiving Federal Funds to basically pay there bills.
I.F.F.O.C. had discovered that now these state and cities are working with Federal Task Forces to obtain more federal grants or funds for all the agencies, and still not solving the issues of criminal activity. So do we need to get back to the basics and resolve crime, as well as, solve the state or city problems the old fashion way? Do we need to train our local police officers to handle all crimes, or just the specific task force for these local, state, or federal agencies, are currently on just to receive federal funds? Or does this assist these local, state, or federal agencies, for plausible denial ability, basically to pass or deny the blame, as they will claim that this is not there department or job description or task, due to the special task force they are currently working. I.F.F.O.C. believes these local, state, or federal agencies, should just do there job, and not complicate matters, and they should bring these matters back to the basic principle ideas of just solving the problems without welfare reform for these local, state, or federal agencies.

States making profits off of our children
Stealing our children for Federal Title IV funds so states can profit.
Topeka, Kansas—Mr. David Martin Price, President of I.F.F.O.C. has also lost his only son to this type of corruption. His son was in the State of Colorado, prior to his knowledge, that he was even the father. This is greed corrupting our halls of justice and this is why Mr. Price is bringing this out to the public’s attention. Mr. Price has the proof if anyone is interested how even judges cover it up. Mr. Price had lost his only son prior to even knowing he was the father. Normally, the presumed father cannot even be challenged in a court of law, but the presumed father did a DNA in which excluded him prior and the attorney and judges of Shawnee County allowed this adoption to proceed, when it should have stopped the voluntary adoption immediately, and a paternity action should have commenced, in which did not happen. The adoption was set aside to terminate Mr. Price’s rights to this child only to continue this façade of adoption for profits. The Courts then transferred everything to division 00, in which was the cover-up division. The forged ICPC paperwork did not even show up to the appellant court level. The biological father was denied access to records, even the appellant court stated even it did not prejudice the biological father by not having access to the records. When the courts were disbarring the biological fathers attorney, testimony by the court clerk admitted during the disbarment that they were two separate files on this adoption. The Adoption attorney admitted under testimony that he did not have any good reason for contacting the biological father. Pursuant to KSA 38-1202 it states, No sending agency shall send, bring, or cause to be sent or brought into any other party state any child for placement in foster care or as a preliminary to a possible adoption unless the sending agency shall comply with each and every requirement set forth in this article and with the applicable laws of the receiving state governing the placement of children therein.

Federal Bankruptcy, Does this change the Game or Blame?
Federal Bankruptcy, does this now change the Game, or does it divert the blame?
Now that the House has accepted the 700 billion dollar debt incurred by corrupt wall street CEO’s and non-regulations supported by greedy politicians, what could have been done to prevent this? You have to ask yourself, why are the Senators still attempting to shove this down our throats? Maybe the answer is right in front of us. Maybe, they are hoping, that our government will bail them out so they will not get prosecuted criminally, due to their greedy actions. I guess my question is, is this going to change the game, or does this action only divert the blame? Will this actually help the citizens from filing bankruptcy’s or will this only divert the attention away from those who need to be prosecuted for their actions? Why is it every time our government rushes us to a decision, we as taxpayer’s fall for their threats of collapsed economy? It seems to be doing fine on its own. When our property almost went into a bankruptcy, I did not see the government intervention to protect our house. So why are they so special, after the billions they had stolen? The bigger the crook the bigger the cover-up, by our own government. Maybe, this is what they mean by corporate benefits. To include government cover-ups, as well. Welcome to the dark side of politicians, prior to the election. You can even say this was timed perfectly prior to an election. Remember this did not happen over night. This has been going on for some time now. So is this going to protect those who stole all of the money and profited or is this going to actually help those who need protection from bankruptcy and those who were attempting to survive in the economy today, or does this protect wall street from main street, or as Senator Obama has warned us about.? Is our Senators going to put measures in place to protect the average American citizen from this type of corruption occurring again?
Now that the House has accepted the 700 billion dollar debt incurred by corrupt wall street CEO’s and non-regulations supported by greedy politicians, what could have been done to prevent this? You have to ask yourself, why are the Senators still attempting to shove this down our throats? Maybe the answer is right in front of us. Maybe, they are hoping, that our government will bail them out so they will not get prosecuted criminally, due to their greedy actions. I guess my question is, is this going to change the game, or does this action only divert the blame? Will this actually help the citizens from filing bankruptcy’s or will this only divert the attention away from those who need to be prosecuted for their actions? Why is it every time our government rushes us to a decision, we as taxpayer’s fall for their threats of collapsed economy? It seems to be doing fine on its own. When our property almost went into a bankruptcy, I did not see the government intervention to protect our house. So why are they so special, after the billions they had stolen? The bigger the crook the bigger the cover-up, by our own government. Maybe, this is what they mean by corporate benefits. To include government cover-ups, as well. Welcome to the dark side of politicians, prior to the election. You can even say this was timed perfectly prior to an election. Remember this did not happen over night. This has been going on for some time now. So is this going to protect those who stole all of the money and profited or is this going to actually help those who need protection from bankruptcy and those who were attempting to survive in the economy today, or does this protect wall street from main street, or as Senator Obama has warned us about.? Is our Senators going to put measures in place to protect the average American citizen from this type of corruption occurring again?
The Twin Towers
The Twin Towers, Cover-up or Coincidence, You Choose. Has I.F.F.O.C. Stumbled Across Something More Shocking Than Not?
I.F.F.O.C. has discovered that possible facts may later come out in reference to the 9/11 attacks, in which may be alarming to the average American citizen. I.F.F.O.C. was alarmed to find out that in building # 5 the Enron files were stored. Also I.F.F.O.C. has also discovered that President Bush’s brother was in charge of the security for those buildings. Further investigations lead us to believe that workers or employees were complaining about health hazards of concrete dust in the elevator shafts getting out in the public areas or hallways just prior to the 9/11 attacks. Was this actually implosions being placed within these buildings?
I.F.F.O.C. now questions was this a Cover up or Coincidence. I.F.F.O.C. wonders if we would have had the Enron files, if we could have prevented the wall street collapse or disaster. Would it have revealed the knowledge of the crimes in which were committed, back then? I.F.F.O.C. also questions how two towers could have collapsed simultaneously straight down to ground zero, as in an implosion, without tipping over as the law of gravity dictates on a regular disaster. The easiest cover-up is in front of the people, as in the Kennedy assignation. I.F.F.O.C. questions our government may be in the process of placing these files into a lock and key for over 30 years, claiming the national security interest. I.F.F.O.C. also had military training and understand tactical diversions, or the presumption of when the president or his staff are into trouble, sort of like flight 800. It diverts the publics attention off of the real issues. The average citizen understands complicated issues like the biggest government land grab was Hurricane Katrina, and the biggest theft was Wall Street. But there are a lot of unanswered questions being swept under the rug. If the government knew about 9/11 prior to the attacks why didn’t they act or prevent these types of disasters? Did it have anything to do with Mr. Bush Sr. on Osama Bin Ladins board or their company, as a chairperson, in the administration. Will the average American see through the smoke screen the government has put in place or will the questions never get answered, due to all the cover-ups within Washington DC? Why is it that our American government always questions our patronage, only when we question their ability to make rush decisions, without the proper facts supporting their idealistic ways and means, in which, only now, the average taxpayer is picking up the tab, without fair prosecution or representation for the actual crimes being committed in front of the average American citizen. No I am not a left wing individual but I am a realists that has discovered that nothing is as it seems, even when it comes to our own government, which would let a lot of American people suffer so a few rich can survive. I believe they call this causalities of war. Wake up America, the choice is up to you, but I.F.F.O.C. believes that this goes well beyond a coincidence of circumstances, and this now explains why the administration officers of the Enron corporation was not prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, it may have revealed the actual truth.

Child Removal Inquiry's Focus
Child removal inquiry's focus
By Roxana Hegeman

Published Friday, October 31, 2008
WICHITA — A bipartisan Legislative agency soon will begin an investigation into whether social workers are being unduly influenced by prosecutors in child removal cases across Kansas.
Deputy post auditor Leo Hafner said Thursday that the investigation into the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services will start in the next two or three weeks.
Although the probe originated because of allegations of bullying by the Sedgwick County district attorney's office, the audit will be conducted statewide to give it "the most bang for the buck," Hafner said.
The Legislative Post Audit Committee last month approved the SRS probe after statements by SRS Secretary Don Jordan that the Sedgwick County prosecutors "bullied" social workers to put things in affidavits that they didn't truly believe.
Jordan since has backed off those statements, and Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston has denied the accusation. But lawmakers still pushed for an investigation — saying they had heard such allegations even before Jordan's widely publicized statements.
"SRS fully intends to cooperate with LPA during the course of the audit and we look forward to seeing any resultant findings," SRS spokeswoman Michelle Ponce said in an e-mail.
The committee decided on Sept. 17 to pursue the audit proposal submitted by Sen. Jean Schodorf, R-Wichita, because it was broad in scope. A similar request for an investigation of SRS also had been submitted by Rep. Mike O'Neal, R-Hutchinson.
Schodorf said she asked for the audit after Kansas Attorney General Stephen Six declined to investigate, citing Jordan's retraction of his statements.
In a July 22 letter to the senator, Six wrote that without further evidence he didn't believe an investigation by his office was warranted.
"I decided to pursue it more because we have had so many complaints and these people are very persuasive," Schodorf said. "They have very specific examples of what they thought was mishandled in their case and I thought we needed to look at it especially because these were cases concerning children."
The findings will be forwarded to the Kansas attorney general's office, which is standard procedure, Hafner said. The results will also be forwarded to any oversight committees, like the social services committee, for possible legislative action.
"If they feel laws need to be changed, legislation may be introduced to do that," Hafner said. "They really do not have a hammer to make things change — unless the budgetary office puts in some provisos to cause the agency to change things."
Investigators plan to survey social workers about any concerns over prosecutorial pressure in an effort to identify areas of the state that appear to have potential problems, according to the audit's scope statement. For any specific cases identified, more in-depth interviews would be conducted.
The post audit also will examine whether social workers and case managers receive sufficient training to deal with prosecutors and the courts. It also will look at whether there are enough SRS workers to handle caseloads.
The simmering suspicions that led to the probe were stoked by statements Jordan made during a March 18 meeting with Citizens for Change in Topeka, in which he said: "But in Sedgwick County oftentimes we end up writing things because it's what our social workers get bullied by the district attorney's office into writing. So they really have no belief in what it says."
Later in the meeting, Jordan also said: "I am working on our staff that we do our assessments properly, and we not get bullied into writing things we don't believe. But then the reality comes down to, you send a 25-year-old social worker into a room with a 15-year county ADA (assistant district attorney) who is willing to yell at them, cuss at them, scream at them and threaten them, you know."
The investigation is expected to take 15 to 20 weeks to complete.

Discipline Body Removes Judge Halverson, Las Vegas, Nevada
Judiciary
Discipline Body Removes Judge Halverson, Citing ‘Bizarre’ Staff Treatment
Posted Nov 18, 2008, 07:03 am CST By Debra Cassens Weiss
The voters have already decided that embattled Las Vegas Judge Elizabeth Halverson should not remain on the bench, and now the Nevada Judicial Discipline Commission has issued a strongly worded opinion that says she should never return.
The commission said Halverson’s relationship with her staff was “bizarre” and her interactions with superiors were sometimes paranoid and combative, the Las Vegas Review Journal reports. The ethics body found that Halverson had slept during portions of three jury trials, had improper contacts with two juries, was “unnecessarily disrespectful” toward staff, hired bodyguards without security clearance who accompanied her to court, and made improper statements to the press, according to the Las Vegas Sun.
The troubles began, the commission said, with Halverson’s apparent anger over a decision the chief judge had made before Halverson became a judge.
The commission said Halverson had been a law clerk with the Las Vegas court until Kathy Hardcastle was elected chief judge and fired Halverson because she wanted someone with outside experience. Halverson then ran for the bench and won the second time she sought a seat.
“It didn’t take long for [Halverson] to demonstrate that she truly believed the chief judge was her nemesis and that the chief judge was out to get her,” the commission said in its opinion (PDF). “There is no hard evidence to substantiate this paranoid outlook, and the commission has concluded that Judge Halverson went out of her way to create a conflict with the chief judge.”
The commission said a panel of judges convened by Hardcastle tried to assist Halverson “but she did not have the good judgment to accept.”
“Having been thrown a proverbial rope by the chief judge that could have been used to save her from professionally drowning in her own sea of inexperience as a litigator, her lack of technical knowledge in the area of criminal trial procedure and her limited and stilted interpersonal skills, Judge Halverson chose not to grab onto the rope,” the commission said. “Instead she chose to sink, and she chose to try to pull the district court down with her.”
The commission also said Halverson "had a bizarre relationship with her immediate or personal staff … [and] her treatment of them, as with so many others she encountered, was unnecessarily disrespectful.” It found that Halverson had asked her bailiff to massage her feet, neck and shoulders, and used profanity to refer to other employees.
Other accusations about Halverson’s mistreatment of staff did not meet high levels of proof, the commission said, but Halverson “should not take any solace” in the fact. “The commission finds it regrettable that any of the many allegations had a foundation at all. … No employee, even those inured to a judge’s mercurial temperament and foul mouth should have to experience what Judge Halverson made her immediate staff live and work through on a routine basis.”
The commission said most of Halverson’s actions were willful and there was no mitigating evidence to lessen the punishment. “The damage resulting from her antics and willful misconduct will be felt by the judicial system for a significant future period of time,” said the commission. "Some judges are in office for an entire career and do not accumulate the type of dismal professional history that the record in this case establishes."
The commission's decision had been delayed after Halverson received severe head injuries when her husband attacked her with a frying pan. Edward Halverson pleaded guilty to battery with a deadly weapon last month.
Michael Schwartz, Halverson's lawyer, told the Las Vegas Review Journal that the facts of the case did not merit removing his client from office. Halverson has 15 days to appeal the decision with the Nevada Supreme Court.
The ABA Journal covered the controversial judge in a story last year.

Mother Jailed in Case of Missing Daughter
Mother jailed in case of missing daughter
By ROXANA HEGEMAN
The Associated Press
WICHITA A homeschooling mother whose daughter was removed from the family home following a mistaken truancy report was jailed Friday after refusing to reveal where the girl has been since October.
Bambi Baker-Hazen said she was invoking her right to protect her daughter, Ashton Baker, 14, from what she called abuse in the state’s child welfare system. The girl had spent 47 days in the Wichita Children’s Home before running away Oct. 6.
Baker-Hazen told Sedgwick County Juvenile Court Judge Tim Henderson that when she tried to return Ashton to the home, the girl threatened to jump out of the car. She said Ashton had lost weight and had burns on her arms allegedly inflicted by other children at the home.
“She was hysterical, upset,” Baker-Hazen testified. “She said she could not take it anymore.”
Baker-Hazen said Ashton was safe, but she repeatedly refused the judge’s admonitions to answer questions from deputy county prosecutor Ron Paschal about the teen’s whereabouts.
“Take me to jail,” Baker-Hazen told the judge. She was arrested for contempt and led from the courtroom in handcuffs.
Henderson said Baker-Hazen would remain jailed until she disclosed the girl’s location. He set another hearing next week but said he would hold the session anytime she was ready to talk.
Baker-Hazen’s husband, Jeff Hazen, said following the arrest that he felt “torn apart” but supported his wife’s decision not to reveal the girl’s location, even if it meant going to jail.
State welfare officials first became involved with the family when a Wichita middle school — apparently misplacing the homeschooling notification faxed by the state — reported Ashton as truant.
Problems escalated while the mother was out of town seeking substance abuse treatment and mental care services, claiming in her testimony that she was unaware of the state’s involvement.
Ashton was placed with Paul Baker, her biological father, but police picked her up and put her in the children’s home when Ashton ran away from her father to go back to her mother.
Child advocacy groups have long contended Sedgwick County authorities are too quick to remove children from homes.
