Hear My Story

Every day I have many ask where are your two beautiful girls at? So many know we were always so close for years they seen how close we were how loving as a mother i am to my girls.so many continue ask what happened to my children. Is this why DYFS and a biased judge took them cruelly from my possession in 2003? They all want to know if some type of tragedy occurred. As my voice lowers from the pain instilled in my lungs, I tell them all with somber tears: no, not a tragic accident like death or broken bones severe fractures, or burns, but tragic in the sense of having to deal with a biased judge and an unorganized agency known for letting New Jersey's children fall through the cracks. Tragic as far as "entrusting" a jealous old bitter woman named Cathy Spencer Roberts my ex-mother-in-law, with watching my children until their dad picked them up from her home in Plainfield, NJ.THE BIGGEST REGRET OF MY LIFE......

Sha-'Kaarii~Melendez - Help me fight injustice by contacting me in Linden, New Jersey, about the infringement on my parental rights and family affairs.

As a young mother who has been through unimaginable pain in her young adult years with an alcohol, heroin, and coke addicted spouse, I've received nothing for my children or myself. Yet I persevered and stayed strong for my children, never drinking any alcohol or doing any drugs, just always being the main source of strength and positivism. I was the provider for my girls, and myself while their "role model" Kevin did absolutely nothing. I'm not your average stay at home mother, waiting for a man to take care of her and the bills, the home and the children. I'm a woman who chooses to overcome strife full steam ahead with an overachieving positive attitude.

Wanting nothing of the negative sort going on inside our home, I discarded every negative thing my ex-husband brought into the home and our life since 1994. I vowed never to let my daughters grow up subjected to the daily use of alcohol and hardcore drugs. Such filth, such callous, uncaring, abusive behavior was constantly brought on by their father, Kevin Spencer. He chose repeatedly to put alcohol and a bag of heroin before the girls' needs. He stole a company truck at his job for drugs, sold stolen parts for drugs, robbed his own parents for drugs, and done unthinkable things to the beautiful family he once had by spending food, rent, and house money on drugs. He never kept a job and never did anything positive for our family. Finally divorced June of 1998, I left Kevin after years of his drug and alcohol abuse. With my head up high, standing tall and feeling confident, I knew that I could make a safer, better life for my 2 daughters: A'Sierra Giiana, and Jazz-'Min Tiaraa. I thought I was safe from drugs, alcohol, and deception, but Kevin and his mother, Cathy Spencer, tried to gain full custody of my children with lies in 1994 1997 2000 2001 and 2003.

Somehow, this "man" Kevin was able to put on a tie, go to court, and gain custody. But for 8 months before that (from July 3, 2003 until February of 2004), his mother got custody of my girls. This woman should not be allowed to pick up a telephone and place a call of abuse against me without being fully investigated. She has slandered my name, defamed my character, and ruined the 11-year loving bond created between my children and I. Apparently, DYFS takes anyone's word without a full investigation, not even conferring with the parent in question. Neither DYFS nor law enforcement consulted with me until a week later.

*Outside experts felt it was rather odd that she would travel with so-called "injured" little girls (aged 10 and 7) to a facility miles away from her home instead of taking them to be seen at the local emergency room. She didn't take my children to her personal medical facility until almost 24 hours later. If they were injured by my hand, logic would follow that she should have taken them immediately. There was also a police report taken the same exact night by an Officer Driscoll of the Plainfield police department. His report states: "this child is in no need of any medical attention" The judge ignored all of it, even though this should, and would prove to a non-biased judge that charges should be dismissed. Instead,In my opinion Union County Judge William Daniels refused to consider me a good parent who loves and cares for her girls. He refuses to allow me access to them, even through mail or phone calls. Instead, he sits on the bench in Elizabeth, New Jersey, continuing to dishonor his robe by turning a prejudicial blind eye to a good, decent caring, beautiful (inside and out) woman like me.

Key Factors in Our Case:

1. Timeline is crucial in almost every case, but apparently not in mine as Judge Daniel did not weigh it whatsoever. He did not even consider the time factor.
2. My ex-spouse's non-testimony regarding whether or not I would hurt my girls
3. How and why it took my ex mother in law more than 20 hours to take my daughter to an out of town private doctor facility and not to the larger, more efficient local emergency room located only 1 mile or so from her home.REASON AS TO WHY CATHY Neglected to do so is simple:

she KNEW the night before Officer Driscoll already told her THE CHILD Was fine to go home that evening. She knew in MY & many opinion that the emergency room down the road would have most likely told her the same thing. Cathy then goes home AND WAITS till the NEXT DAY to go and take my daughter to a doctor "office"called medemerge where she frequents which is AGAINST DYFS POLICY.

4. The police officers who saw my daughter, say "on record" in their report that my daughter needed "no medical attention".
5. Judge Daniels never let my dad, who "watches and baby-sits" my girls, take the stand to explain that: my daughter often plays in the fields behind his home when I am at the office, she plays with many other cousins her age, and I am not an abuser. This judge initially said that my father can testify in my case, but then precluded him from doing so once he was called for testimony on my behalf.

This is a clear violation of my father's rights.
6. After appeal, the judge took it upon himself to vigorously and maliciously "ignore" the higher court above him, as they properly, clearly, and directly instructed him on "what to do". He has ignored the appellate higher courts decision/ruling for more than a year. Does this Judge Daniels have no shame? My answer is no. He thinks he is above the higher courts, and he will not continue to get away with such unjust and illegal judicial behavior.

We appealed this decision immediately & in December of 2004, the appellate courts ruled in my favor concerning my rights as a parent. It was clearly obvious what the appellate thought of my case. They affirmed the spanking decision since I admitted to using discipline (and never denied it) but they wanted to voice several of their concerns. Judge Daniels, however, is still refusing to allow me to see my girls, either one of them. I have no access to my girls, whether in person or by phone even after the appeal voiced their many concerns.

They wanted a therapist named Stephanie Auerbach investigated in regards to her statements about me raising my kids in a house of shame and a "terroristic" environment.

She asserted that"this is one of, or the worst case of child abuse and neglect I have ever seen..." The appeal states that they are equally alarmed at the fact that she is the therapist who helped Judge Daniels with his decision to give a crack, heroin some ex con alcoholic i was once married to & his mother my children, he was instructed to have Stephanie investigated since this was all (alleged-never-proven) these cruel malicious statements that were simply allegations provided by Stephanie Auerbach.

This biased Judge Daniels in Union County has decided to turn a "blind eye to justice", ignoring 3 or more key factors and completely ignoring a higher court's ruling (appeal decision) for now 2 years since appeal #1 in 04 was handed down.

Since receiving a partial win in appealing my fact-finding trial, the judge acted as if the ruling never even applied (which it did, in full)clearly violating my civil rights. Despite the orders for an investigation, Judge Daniels never carried out the investigation. He exhibits a lack of respect for the law and the higher courts in my & many expert's opinion.
