In some cases and in some states you can ask that the judge review the Respondent (or Offender's) NICS report. Here is the link. This is only available to Prosecutors and by request by law agencies. In my case I asked the Judge repeatedly if they can review it. You see any time anyone has a run in with the police, it goes here (result of the Brady Law). After a while if police come out to a call older record 3-5 years drop off and so most law enforcement may not believe you without this history. It is my belief that this information should be public and mandatory in child custody cases. In my case, the Judge was a former Prosecutor and refused multiple requests to review it. I had no criminal history whatsoever but the Respondent had multiple police calls and arrest involving domestic violence, substance abuse and unregistered weapons seized.

Very often, one or more violent incidents are accompanied by an array of these other types of abuse. They are less easily identified, yet firmly establish a pattern of intimidation and control in the relationship. - click here

BOOK REVIEW
“I Love You Mom, don’t break my heart” by John Borgstedt
This is an amazing story of a young child who is intentionally wronged by Professionals, our American System and his own Mother. He is brutally abused in all sections of the Domestic Violence wheel, emotionally, psychologically, mentally, physically and is a survivor due to his kind heart and believer in God. John is truly an inspiration to me because he survived the physical, mental, psychological abuse and was able to compartmentalize his rightful experience of anger and hate into LOVE. If one cant trust their own parents, who can you trust? John could have given up his belief in God, but instead kept the faith and Love in his heart.
I have also experienced the harassment, abuse, and kidnapping from Family Courts in a different manor, a different view. I am a targeted Mother who loves and protects her children and went to family courts for help. We needed therapy, counseling to unite our family not tear it apart. My children needed a Father whom at the time, was never around or helped in parenting. I actually believed if I divorced my husband that he would be forced to come home and be a father 50% of the time and maybe save our family. I thought living in 2 houses, keeping the same routine, same schedule, same rules would make the divorce easier on the children and co-parenting would be supervised to enhance our situation. I trusted and believed in our system (lawyers, judges, therapists) to do what is in the Best Interest of the Child, but to find out our system is the complete opposite and that there is NO help, No Agencies and No empathy and Nobody you can count on. I personally went through the domestic violence, harassment, false accusations, the loss of my children due to gas lighting, brainwashing, lies and manipulations, loss of assets, bankruptcy, bad credit, and my credibility was judged and questioned. The feeling of being demeaned, unwanted and thrown out like a piece of garbage is no feeling one human should ever experience. John has overcome this unreal, unnecessary and unbelievable treatment of disrespect to a human. John gives me hope that one day my children will figure out what happened to them(Parental Alienation)and be strong enough to come back to a Loving environment.
Everyone and I mean everyone should pick up this book, read and understand the trials and tribulations that John actually conquered and is Alive today speaking of his experience of actual human beings turning their heads to this abuse. It amazes me that other “LIKE BEINGS” would turn away, knowing a child is out there, looking to be saved from the abuse and they intentionally turn a blind eye. I truly believe our society has weakened and the majority of people live their life of being in Fear of their own insecurities, their vulnerabilities, their fears of abandonment, shame and guilt instead of going with their intuitions and gut feelings of what they truly believe in!
God Bless John and his wife and all of his supporters, he deserves a life of Love, Peace and Happiness.
Thank you John for enduring the pain and fight for the safety and well-being of our children. Many Blessings to you John and I believe you can touch so many people with your story.
