Here's one of those stories that make you think, "I just can't believe this is really happening"; that makes you realize just how messed up the system really is.

The story is of Emily Rose Hindle and her father Karl Hindle who has spent the last five years and over four thousand dollars in a fight to be reunited with his daughter who was illegally taken by her mother to the U.S..

Teri Stoddard has outlined some of the details of the travesties of this situation and Mr. Hindle's struggles with a corrupt and criminally ineffective system.

Emily would not have suffered the loss of her father for the last five years, or the vision in her right eye, if it weren’t for the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA.) And people like Barbara Grieg of the U.S. State Department who see it as an excuse for misandry and a license for lawlessness.

Hindle, a U.K. citizen met and fell in love with American Sheila Fuith while in New York. When she moved to the U.K. in 2001 she hadn’t mentioned the husband and daughters she’d abandoned. Emily was born in the U.K. on March 1, 2002. At 5 months-old Emily was diagnosed with esotropia caused by amblyopia. She needed patching therapy, a patch worn a few hours each day, or she would lose sight in her right eye.

In February 2003 Fuith decided to leave Hindle and return to the U.S. She knew he would object to her taking Emily, so she did what many women in her position have done. She accused him of domestic violence and sexual abuse of children. Thanks to VAWA, she needed only to speak the words.

Fuith was taken in by a battered women’s shelter, and given free legal aid by the U.S. government. With no evidence and no due process, Barbara Grieg authorized the illegal abduction. The U.S. Embassy in London issued a passport for Emily without her father’s signature as required by law. The forged signature was not notarized, and had the wrong date.

After arriving in the U.S. Fuith stopped Emily’s therapy. She then tried to give Emily away in a “baby switch.” She placed Emily with the family of Leslie Merriam, a three time convicted pedophile in Wisconsin. Karl learned of this and contacted local law enforcement.

Fuith needed only to claim Karl was harassing her, and the baby switch wasn’t investigated. A call to Grieg confirmed that Hindle was “dangerous.” Captain Alan Osowski never looked at Fuith’s phone when she told him numbers from “harassing calls from Hindle.” But he wrote he had in his report.

This was just the beginning of Hindle’s harrowing five-year journey to protect his daughter. Fuith has moved Emily dozens of times through several different states. She’s filed over 100 false police reports. And Hindle has received death threats.

Two police investigations in the UK and three in the U.S. cleared Hindle of all
allegations. Fuith was found guilty of coaching Emily and making false allegations. Hindle was given court-ordered reunification with Emily.

Hindle said, “Emily met her elder brother (Max) and sister (Elizabeth) for the first time in almost 3 years…as we walked into the resort hotel, Emily asked me ‘Is this my family ?‘“

They enjoyed these visits, evidenced by these photographs, until Fuith made another false allegation and disappeared. Emily was then listed as missing and endangered.

Knowing all of this, Grieg didn’t just harbor Fuith all these years. She interfered whenever Hindle needed a visa to attend custody hearings, arranged his improper arrest, imprisonment and deportation by the immigration department, and tried to set him up to be arrested for violence. She had officers hiding in bushes while her cronies harassed Hindle. And all the while, during her many lawless and reprehensible actions, she allowed Emily to go blind.

Fuith is still enjoying VAWA-funded legal representation. Recently there was a conference call between Fuith, Hindle, their attorneys and the State Department. During the call Fuith recanted every allegation she has made against Hindle. Even hearing this, the State Department refused to budge. The reason? The allegations the mother has made.

Sheila Fuith is clearly guilty, yet has not received any punishment. Karl Hindle is completely innocent, yet has not been able to see Emily or get custody. Now the State Department wants to send him back to London to apply for a new visa.

Hindle said recently, “I’ve been here for 5 weeks, yet Emily and I have not seen each other. The judge will not enforce his orders, and the mother maintains visitation must take place in Panama City, 350 miles away. Emily and I last saw each other on May 28th, 2006!” Hindle is now on his way back to the UK without seeing Emily.

I would urge everyone to contact Ms. Grieg and voice your outrage over the horrors that Mr. Hindle and his daughter have been forced to endure; horrors for which Ms. Grieg along with misandric laws can be held largely to blame for. Undoubtedly, Mr. Hindle's ex is a despicable human being, but she wouldn't be able to commit such horrific acts with impunity if it weren't for the backing of unjust system.

I would also urge you to visit Mr. Hindle's blog where he further documents his fight to get back his little girl. While you're there, consider taking a moment to send Mr. Hindle an e-mail in a show of solidarity and support.

Kim, this article is ... hmmm, what word to use. OK, I don't have many to chose from so FANTASTIC will have to do.

I really like the way you gave other sites. I hear of VAWA but I have never had the opportunity to see it myself because I don't go out of my way to look up things in your country.

And Amblyopia (Lazy Eye), wow, that is good information.

Anyhow, soorry to rave on but you did this very well. Thank-you.

Why thank you, Julie, although I can't really take the credit. The majority of the post was an article from Teri Stoddard, based on information recieved from Mr. Hindle, I just added a few comments at the front and end.

While I agree that letters to this Grieg woman could be sent, I doubt they would make any impact. A letter to the relevant Secretary of State might be better.

Grieg is a religious zealot. Feminism. She is going to listen to people's pleas and arguements like a Fundemental Muslim will listen to a Billy Grahem sermon.

What she needs is a visit by Superman. And I don't mean that he sits on her roof. She needs to be thrown off the Planet.

That is a disgusting thing to hear about. A man falsely accused of things he didn't do and MULTIPLE times I might add; harassing and making this innocent man's life hell; his wife GIVING HER OWN DAUGHTER TO A CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER; the little girl GOING BLIND; and above all that even when Fuith has been revealed as the PATHOLOGICALLY LYING BITCH SHE IS, this man STILL doesn't get to see his daughter. What is so important for the f-ing courts go through before they can give this man and his now HALF-BLIND daughter a chance to live a better life?

Wow Kim, this is an amazing find and if anything, should be sent to the guys who make Law & Order so they can make an episode based off this. This is the kind of thing that needs to be hitting the airways like mad to show the world what kind of women have been created from the movement of opportunistic hags on high horses. This man needs all the support he can get.

I agree Percy, her actions have made it clear that appeals to logic, reason or common decency are useless. It definitely needs to be taken over her head.

It's unreal, isn't it, GP? I have sent this to a couple of news stations.....who knows if it will do any good, but it's a story that definitely needs to be heard.
