The Dangerous Dancing Dr. Edward J. Connor

Well here he is; Dr. Edward J. Connor, Psy D. People who read or hear about my story are always asking, “What does this guy look like?” I think people expect to see more of an evil looking person. This is what helps make Dr. Edward J. Connor one of the most dangerous psychologists in the OH/IN/KY area. By just looking at him, you may not think that he would actively work to hurt children and parents; but he does. But the dance floor isn’t the only place that Dr. Connor likes to show off his moves; he also does a lot of dancing in the courtroom. Here’s an example of how Dr. Connor dances around in his courtroom testimony:

Dan: Were the children around when you interviewed the maternal grandparents?

Connor: I believe they were out in the yard. I remember one occasion where, I believe, [daughter] came into the kitchen where we were sitting in the house on one occasion, but then went back out there. It was warm outside.

Dan: But did you interview them at the home visit?

Connor: Please?

Dan: Did you interview them at the home visit or at the office?

Connor: No. not at the home visit.

Dan: So, you conducted -- you interviewed the maternal grandparents in your office?

Connor: Yes.

Within just a few statements, Dr. Ed Connor went from providing a descriptive account of interviewing the maternal grandparents at their home to testifying to NOT interviewing the maternal grandparents at their home. Dr. Connor did the same thing with his Office Policy Statement for individual psychological services that he had my ex-wife sign. I wasn’t aware of the contract until a year after it was signed. When I asked Dr. Connor about the contract, he wrote me a letter dated September 9, 2008 stating:

“With regards to the Office Policy Statement, we do not have a signed Office Policy Statement for you on file. It appears that you were not provided with this document when you initially came into our office, which was an oversight on the part of the office staff. Nevertheless, the Office Policy Statement is simply an adjunct document to the Court order in which you and Ms. Brewington agreed to participate fully in a custody evaluation to be conducted at this office.”

The following day, Dr. Connor wrote a letter to the court attacking me for not understanding his policies pertaining to confidentiality and included a copy of the letter that explained how the Office Policy Statement was “an adjunct document to the Court order.” Somehow Dr. Connor’s policies changed between his September 9, 2008 letter and his May 27, 2009 testimony because Dr. Connor gave the following testimony:

Dan: [Is the Office Policy Statement] an adjunct document to a court order?

Connor: No

Dan: [September 9th] letter says, ‘it appears you were not provided with this document when you initially came into our office, which was an oversight of the part of the office staff.’

Connor: That they provided it to the mother, yes.

Dan: Well, it says up here, ‘you were not provided with it when you initially…’ then you wrote, ‘never the less, the office policy statement is simply an adjunct document to the court order in which you and Ms. Brewington agreed to participate fully in a custody evaluation to be conducted at this office.’

Connor: There was an agreed order signed for a custody evaluation --

Dan: Yes, but is that office policy statement an adjunct document to the court order?

Connor: I’m not sure what you mean by this.

Dan: Well, I’m not sure, either. You wrote it.

Connor: (exact testimony) It’s an adjunct -- it’s not an adjunct to a court order. It’s -- it’s adjacent to what we do when people come in. They fill out the forms for the evaluation to participate in it.

This is why I lost the ability to see my children. In the final decree of my divorce, Judge James D. Humphrey wrote, “The Court is most concerned about Husband’s irrational behavior and attacks on Dr. Connor.” Two little girls lost their father because Judge Humphrey was angry that their dad made Dr. Connor dance around in Judge Humphrey’s courtroom. Judge James D. Humphrey punished my children in order to protect his expert.

So I guess this is the perfect photo that captures everything that Dr. Connor represents. Dr. Connor is free to dance from court to court, knowing that no judge will hold him accountable for his actions. He can continue to abuse children and their families, and he can do it with a smile; because that’s what he enjoys and Dr. Connor is immune from negative consequences. He can continue to ask inappropriate sexual questions during custody evaluations pertaining to the shaving of pubic hair (as reported by Eric Deters on 700 WLW). He can continue to hurt people by spying on their private lives, outside of his official duties. Why, because he is Dr. Edward J. Connor of Connor and Associates, in Erlanger, Kentucky.

So if you happen to see this man out in public; keep your distance. The best thing a person can do is forward this photo to as many people as possible to make sure that everyone stays clear of the very dangerous, Dr. Edward J. Connor.

How Dr. Edward J Connor conducts himself in an unethical and illegal manner and the people who enable him to do so.

This is a collection of some statements and/or opinions that Dr. Edward J Connor has given in several different legal proceedings. Dr. Connor claimed that he could not understand me in a child custody evaluation because I had ADHD, yet Dr. Connor doesn’t have a problem evaluating child porn addicts, violent offenders, rapists, and murders. Dr. Edward J Connor is not only a danger to children; Dr. Connor presents a real danger to the integrity of criminal and civil trials to which Dr. Connor is involved.

“The doctor testified that when Conley killed his 10-year-old brother, Conner, in November he was likely in a dissociative state – a condition in which the mind seems different than the body.” -WLWT report of Dr. Edward Connor’s testimony at the 9/20/2010 Sentencing Hearing for convicted murder Andrew Conley

“[Dr. Edward Connor] attributed Mullikin’s addiction to child pornography to being sexually confused after becoming aroused while being spanked by a nun in fifth grade.” -Cincinnati Enquirer report of Dr. Connor’s testimony at the sentencing hearing in Kenneth Mullikin’s child pornography case.

In the 2007 rape trial of Jeni Lee Dinkel, Dr. Connor recommended that Ms. Dinkel not do jail time for having sex with her son’s 15 year old friend. Dr. Connor stated that Ms. Dinkel took full responsibility for her actions and was a very low risk to reoffend in any manner. Ms. Dinkel pled guilty to having sex with a 15 year old boy after providing alcohol to teenagers. Dr. Connor felt that if Ms. Dinkel went to jail, it would be hard on her son. In 2008, Ms. Dinkel was arrested for a probation violation and her case worker claimed that Ms. Dinkel placed blame on the 15 year old victim.

In the Death Row trial of Marco Chapman, Dr. Connor stated, “Marco Chapman was depressed as a baby due to the emotional detachment of his parents. Chapman’s parents suffered from depression, serious alcohol abuse, and mental disorders. Chapman’s father sexually abused him and routinely beat him unconscious. His parents gave Chapman alcohol in his baby bottle. A babysitter molested Chapman. Chapman began to smoke marijuana and drink alcohol at the age of eight and became sexually active and suicidal as a child. Chapman experienced dissociative states. He was plagued by conduct disorders and dysthymia and Chapman’s emotional disturbances had physical manifestations. Around the age of 14, Chapman attempted suicide by hanging himself and cutting his wrists. This was around the same time Chapman began to abuse LSD, embalming fluid, and PCP. Chapman suffered from gender identity issues. He abused heroin, cocaine, crack, and methamphetamines and drank alcohol in binges. Chapman was in acute psychological turmoil suffering from substance dependence, Dysthymic Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, intrusive thoughts, odd sensory experiences, including visual and auditory hallucinations, dramatic mood swings, troubling thoughts and dreams, and personality disorders (he had symptoms of both Borderline and Anti-social Disorder.” Marco Chapman had a marginal IQ yet Dr. Connor understood Mr. Chapman well enough to come to the above conclusion.

In the May 21, 2010 appellate ruling of Seth Smith v. Commonwealth of Kentucky, Mr. Smith argued that the trial court erred in excluding proposed testimony from psychologist Dr. Edward Connor. The ruling states, “Appellant states that Dr. Connor would have testified that Appellant “acted in a manner which he felt was necessary to defend himself’.” The appellate court agreed with the trial court’s opinion that “Dr. Connor could not have testified to such because ‘he would be testifying as to what was actually in the Defendant’s mind at the time he committed the offense’.”

After I began publicly questioning the conduct of Dr. Connor and Dr. Connor’s involvement in previous trials, Dr. Connor attacked me and claimed that I may present an emotional danger to my children. When Judge Humphrey asked Dr. Connor how my behavior reflected my ability to parent and the safety of my children, Dr. Connor stated, “My concern is that if he -- it might not be necessary, the physical safety, but the psychological well-being of the children if he were to attempt to coach them in any way against the mother. If he doesn’t get what he wants in this way, my concern is that he’ll start to work on the children, try to coach them or influence them in some way to get what he wants. I would be more concerned about that.” When Judge Humphrey asked Dr. Connor to describe what Dr. Connor observed that led him to that conclusion, Dr. Connor replied, “His manipulativeness, his tendency to not see things objectively for another’s perspective. Pretty much, if he doesn’t get what he wants, then he’ll go to many different extents or means to try to get his way, such as I said, all of the information that he puts up on the internet. He’s threatened -- I feel like he’s threatened the courts, I feel like he’s made threats to me. He’s made very negative comments about myself publicly. There’s a lot of manipulation on his behalf that I think would pre-dispose him, then, to trying to manipulate the children, as well, if he does not get what he wants.”

Psychologist Dr. Edward Connor is a hired gun that will say anything for a buck and will go to extremes to crush those who question his conduct. Judge Humphrey wrote in the final decree in my divorce, “According to Dr. Connor’s testimony, Husband’s writings are similar to those of individuals who have committed horrendous crimes against their families.” That was the best that Dr. Connor could make up. He didn’t have any evidence that I was anything but a good father so he had to make something up. Albert Einstein once said, “Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.” It makes you wonder why judges like Judge James Humphrey keep appointing Dr. Edward J Connor.

Anonymous Harassment

Today I posted all of Anonymous' comments. Anonymous is the name of the person who continues to leave negative comments on this blog. Anonymous claims that they are big into the Father's Rights movement however he never seems to give any facts or credible arguments. Unfortunately, Anonymous has to resort to calling name calling, attacking my mother, and making fun of my children not having a father just because I bring attention to the actions of Dr. Edward J Connor and Dr. Sara Jone-Connor. Anonymous' latest post claimed that I was helping Dr. Connor by advertising for him. Anonymous claimed that Dr. Connor had an advertisement on this blog and Anonymous clicked on it. I think he was mad when I informed him that the blog made money when people click on the links. He claimed that Dr. Connor made more money off of it. If anyone who visited this site went to Dr. Edward J Connor or Dr. Sara Jones-Connor for psychological services, it's on them. I tried my best to warn them. In fact, I am going to start a campaign to warn people in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky areas about the troubles in the family court system. I explained this to Anonymous in a recent comment on this blog. The following is a copy of the comment in response to Anonymous' latest comment regarding his claim that I was making Dr. Connor money with my internet writings:

"Dr. Connor probably needs the money. I'm sure his mortgage with 5/3 Bank on his house in the Triple Crown Subdivision in Union, Kentucky isn't cheap. There are some nice houses on his street. I have family that lives a couple streets over from Dr. Connor. I wonder if I should warn my family's neighborhood about the troubles within the family court system? Sometimes you just have to grab the REIGHns and fight to bring change for the good of families. It's all about protecting children. www.DanHelpsKids.com."

I'm sorry to take up people's time with this silly Anonymous guy but I wanted to show people an example of how people turn to blathering name calling and harassment when they do not have a worthy argument to support their opinions. Anonymous is one of them. He continues to post derogatory comments about my children, my family and me because he is mad that I write about Dr. Connor's illegal actions. Is Anonymous Dr. Connor? I don't know but it is definitely someone who is very protective of Dr Edward J Connor because he has taken the time to write over fifteen hundred words (1,500) worth of comments in the last week alone. Anonymous seems to be very upset with me. Although Anonymous' comments do not bother me too much, I feel he is too much of a coward to present any physical danger, I have family and friends who are concerned about Anonymous' potential to cause physical harm because Anonymous clearly isn't the most sane person in the bunch.

"Anonymous" may be dropping off the deep end...

Apparently I touched a nerve with last night’s blog post, “Disgruntled Dan.” Yesterday, Monday June 21, 2010, I published a post about someone writing vague but positive reviews of Dr. Edward J. Connor on business review websites. These “positive” reviews of Dr. Ed Connor also attack me for criticizing Dr. Connor. I woke up this morning to find five (5) new comments on my blog from someone named “Anonymous.” The content of the comments range from “concerns” that people are going to get me when I least expect it to speculation of the size of my male genitalia. Did the court appointed psychologist, Dr. Edward J Connor, write this? I don’t know, but someone appears to be very angry about my writings pertaining to Dr. Edward Connor and Dr. Sara Jones-Connor of Connor and Associates in Erlanger, Kentucky. If Dr. Connor did write this, it only further demonstrates what a dangerous individual Dr. Connor really is. See what Anonymous had to say:

Dr. Edward J. Connor Psy D; Gun for Hire

Here is the latest case coming out of the Kentucky Appellate Court that involves Dr. Edward J. Connor Psy D, of Connor and Associates in Erlanger, Kentucky. Seth Smith was convicted of stabbing a man in the chest and the leg. One of the issues Mr. Smith appealed was the trial court's exclusion of a portion of Dr. Connor's psychiatric report. The trial court claimed the specific portion of Dr. Connor's report could not be admitted because “[Dr. Connor] would be testifying as to what was actually in the Defendant’s mind at the time he committed the offense.” Dr. Connor’s report of his findings after treating Seth Smith for more than two years and participating in over forty therapy sessions with Mr. Smith, stated:

"I can only state that in my clinical opinion although Mr. Smith had made significant improvement in psychotherapy, at that moment, he felt frightened that he would be assaulted and acted in a manner which he felt was necessary to defend himself. One can certainly question his judgment at that moment in time and can also consider in hindsight that there would have been a better way to protect himself, such as leaving the car."

Unfortunately for Mr. Smith, the Appellate Court agreed with the trial court's ruling and agreed that Dr. Ed Connor's mind reading abilities should not be admissible as evidence. The Appellate Court did reverse one of Seth Smith's arguments. The Appellate Court ruled that Mr. Smith's prior assault conviction should not have been admitted into the record. Mr. Smith had previously been convicted of stabbing his mother.

I wonder if Dr. Connor felt that Seth Smith was frightened and acted in self defense when he stabbed his mother? This is what makes my head hurt. Dr. Connor testified that he was concerned about my mental stability because I questioned his practices, yet Dr. Connor gave Seth Smith the benefit of the doubt in Mr. Smith's second stabbing. Coincidence and bad luck go out the window when the victim of your first stabbing conviction is your mother.

I find it frightening that judges like James D. Humphrey and Carl H. Taul use Dr. Connor to determine the futures of children of separated parents. How reassuring is it to know that the Children's Home of Northern Kentucky has Dr. Connor educate and oversee their psychological staff? Does Dr. Connor use tarot cards or crystal balls while he is working with courts? Seth Smith was drunk when he stabbed the victim. Did Dr. Connor evaluate Mr. Smith while he was drunk? Even if you accept that Dr. Connor could understand how Mr. Smith may have felt in the past, how could Dr. Connor speculate what emotions were going through Seth Smith's mind when he was drunk and stabbing someone? Who needs the court system when Dr. Connor can read people's minds like a Marvel comic book character? It just goes to show that Dr. Connor will say anything for a buck.

Hopefully I'll be able to see my children after June 14th

I have a court date on June 14, 2010 and I hope that I will be “permitted” to see my girls. I have to appear in front of Dearborn County Circuit Court Judge James D. Humphrey. June 14, 2010 will mark the tenth month that I have been unable to see my four and six year old daughters. On August 18, 2009, Judge Humphrey terminated my visitation time with my daughters because he felt that I might be “potentially” dangerous. What will I have done in the ten months leading up to the hearing to demonstrate that I am not dangerous? I will have done nothing dangerous.

It doesn’t seem to make sense, does it? My ex-wife filed for divorce January 8, 2007. During the course of the 2 ½-year divorce, my ex-wife never called the police, social services, or filed any motions to modify or restrict parenting in an effort to “protect” our children. The custody evaluation report made no mention of me being a danger to anyone. I cared for my daughters nearly half of the time during the course of a 2 ½-year divorce. The first mention of terminating my parenting time came in the August 18, 2009 orders from Judge James D. Humphrey when Judge Humphrey terminated my parenting time because he felt that I might be potentially dangerous.

It has been nearly 3 ½ years since my ex-wife filed for divorce and I still have not harassed, threatened, emotionally abused, or assaulted my children or my ex-wife. There is no evidence of any dangerous behavior throughout the history of my life. My ex-wife claimed I was not stable. Dr. Connor rambled about concerns of what I “might” do. The following are a list of things that I have been accused of, or had to deal with and I still have not exhibited any “dangerous” behavior:

· Without warning, on August 18, 2009, Judge James D. Humphrey terminated my ability to see my precious little girls.

· I was accused of loving my oldest daughter more than my youngest daughter.

· I was accused of spending time with the girls just to hurt their mother.

· Dr. Connor, of Connor and Associates in Erlanger, Kentucky, stated his evaluation had “numerous errors and oversights” and he wanted to charge each party $350 for him to fix his errors.

· Dr. Ed Connor, who also supervises the staff at the Children’s Home of Northern Kentucky, stated that he had difficulties understanding me due to “severe” ADHD and that my writings were confusing and difficult to follow.

· Dr. Connor testified that my writings were similar to those of individuals who have committed horrendous crimes against their families despite the fact that I was not allowed access to these alleged writings.

· Dr. Connor caused the first judge in my case, Judge Carl H. Taul, to recuse himself because the two conducted private conversations outside the presence of the parties.

· Dr. Connor wrote that he would not release the case file from his child custody evaluation because I did not have a lawyer, which gave opposing counsel, Angela G. Loechel, access to evidence that I was not privy to.

· Dr. Connor lied about the release of his case file from the custody evaluation, see Dr. Connor's illusive case file, and then told Judge Taul that I could not comprehend confidentiality and I may suffer from “reality distortion”. See "When Psychologists Attack"

· Opposing counsel, Angela G. Loechel, submitted Dr. Connor’s Office Policy Statement for individual psychological services as evidence in her efforts to obstruct my access to Dr. Connor’s case file. Ms. Loechel was able to obtain evidence to which I was not entitled.

· On September 9, 2008, Dr. Connor wrote that I was not provided with a copy of his Office Policy Statement. Dr. Connor claimed that it was an oversight on the part of his office staff but it did not matter that I did not sign the document because it was an “adjunct document” to the court order.

· On May 27, 2009, Dr. Connor testified that his secretary had mistakenly provided the Office Policy Statement to my ex-wife and it was NOT an “adjunct document” to the court order. See Dr. Connor's testimony. This probably had something to do with my inability to understand Dr. Connor’s terms of confidentiality.

· My ex-wife testified that she thought I was bi-polar despite the fact that her own expert, Dr. Connor, said I was not bi-polar.

· I was found to be unstable, potentially dangerous, unable to communicate, and my writings were confusing and difficult to follow. They said I was unable to maintain a steady job and that I have debilitating ADHD; yet Judge Humphrey based my child support on an imputed income that is higher than anything I have ever made.

· I was accused of spanking my one-year-old daughter “real hard” for eating cat food. I still cannot grasp that.

· Dr. Connor and my ex-wife speculated that I might be addicted to my Ritalin prescription without consulting my doctor. After expressing concerns about Ritalin addiction, they expressed concerns about me not taking my medication on a regular basis.

· Dr. Connor and my ex-wife claimed my writings were confusing and difficult to follow yet Judge Humphrey was in possession of my legal pleadings, internet postings, etc… that consisted of tens of thousands of words; none of which were confusing or difficult to follow.

· I was accused of rushing my seventeen-month-old daughter to the pediatrician in an effort to show an interest in having and being a primary caregiver when historically I had not done so. I thought I was just rushing my daughter to the doctor because she was having difficulties breathing. She needed breathing treatments for a couple of weeks.

· My ex-wife testified that she was not sure if I allowed my five-year-old daughter to shoot a 357 Magnum handgun. For those who are not familiar with firearms, a 357 Magnum is a step below the 44 Magnum that Clint Eastwood made popular in Dirty Harry. Imagine what would happen if a five-year-old child shot Dirty Harry’s gun.

· Even though there was no testimony from the court staff, Judge Humphrey wrote that I tried to intimidate the court staff. I have the video/audio of the court staff grilling me as to why I want to inspect public records, and please visit the Dearborn County Police Harassment video on YouTube to see how the court staff used the local law enforcement to try to discourage me from inspecting public records.

· I was “investigated” by the Dearborn County Special Crimes Unit. “Someone” filed a complaint with Dearborn County Prosecutor Aaron Negangard regarding some of my writings. The only people who could possibly fall under the jurisdiction of Dearborn County are Judge James D. Humphrey and opposing counsel, Angela G. Loechel. Unfortunately, Detective Mike Kreinhop would not tell me who made the complaint or any specifics about the complaint. Detective Kreinhop, who is running for Dearborn County Sheriff, even drove to my mother’s home in Norwood, Ohio to find me for questioning. My lawyer and a Norwood Police Officer expressed concerns about Detective Kreinhop crossing state lines and entering a different jurisdiction without contacting the local law enforcement. Detective Kreinhop did tell me that he thought Judge James D. Humphrey became defensive because I challenged Dr. Connor and Detective Kreinhop said he thought Dr. Connor went on the offensive against me in the name of self-preservation. Detective Kreinhop acknowledged that Dr. Connor may have committed interstate wire fraud but told me that I would have to contact the FBI or the Indiana State Police because he was not going to get involved. After acknowledging that Dr. Connor lied under oath, retaliated against me, and committed interstate wire fraud, Detective Kreinhop and Prosecutor Aaron Negangard failed to do anything to prevent Dr. Connor from hurting other children and parents. Prosecutor Negangard failed to bring any charges against me after their alleged shakedo… er, I mean secret investigation.

· During the course of the divorce, Dr. Connor sent copies of correspondence between he and I to opposing counsel, Angela Loechel. Both Angela Loechel and Dr. Connor refused to provide me with copies of their correspondence and Ms. Loechel even advised Dr. Connor on how to protect his wife, Dr. Sara Jones-Connor, from me calling her to testify.

· Angela Loechel and the Dearborn County Circuit Court continued to communicate with Dr. Edward Connor, without my knowledge, after the final orders were issued.

· On September 5, 2009, my ex-wife stopped letting me talk to my daughters on the phone. After I filed a petition for contempt in the Indiana court because she would not let the girls talk to me on the phone, my ex-wife and her parents had me arrested in Hamilton County, Ohio for telecommunications harassment. Not only were they not going to let me talk to my children, they tried to punish me for trying to maintain a relationship with my girls by sending me to jail for an evening. Seven months after I was arrested, my former father-in-law added himself to the complaint. A week and a half later, the judge dismissed the charge. Check out a copy of the criminal complaint and the details of the arrest. Apparently, my ex-wife was mad because Hamilton County was not interested in punishing me for exercising my 1st amendment rights on my websites. I guess she found out that criminal courts follow real laws unlike the make-believe laws of the family court system.

· I underwent a competency evaluation with a psychologist with the Hamilton County Courts. After an hour, she asked me why I was there. She said that I was intelligent, well spoken and that I had a very good understanding of the law, especially civil law. To say the least, she was very shocked when I told her that Dr. Edward J. Connor said I had difficulties communicating due to my ADHD and Dr. Connor and Judge Humphrey felt I was potentially dangerous. She and the Hamilton County Judge were perplexed as to why Dr. Connor would not release a client’s own record.

· Judge Humphrey granted a hearing for my petition for contempt but later cancelled it stating he did not have jurisdiction over the matter while the case was in the appellate court. Indiana Appellate Rule 39 states “An appeal does not stay the effect or enforceability of a judgment or order of a trial court”. Either Judge Humphrey did not know that he retained the ability to enforce his order during the pending appeal or he lied about not having jurisdiction. Considering that Judge Humphrey is running for his 3rd six year term, I find it hard to believe that he did not know about Indiana Appellate Rule 39.

· Dr. Connor contacted the Hamilton County Judge and the Prosecutor’s office in attempt to further slander me. He also complained about my website. Given the reaction from the Judge, prosecutor, and the court psychologist, I believe Dr. Connor lost quite a bit of credibility with the Hamilton County court system. As I always say, if you have a problem with my internet writings Doc, sue me. For some reason he never does. The longer people go without suing me for slander, libel, etc... only serves to add credibility to my story.

· Did I mention that my ex-wife stole some property that belonged to my mother? She did this when she and her father entered my house without my knowledge. They took a 51” LCD television that my mother accepted in lieu of rent from a tenant. Mom had me move the television from her rental house across the road to my home. This took place six months after my ex-wife filed for divorce but she claimed it was marital property.

· Judge James D. Humphrey ordered that I had to pay my ex-wife nearly $170,000. We did not even own a house.

· I was invited to attend my daughter’s parent teacher conferences. After the conference, the principal agreed to let me see my daughter’s student file. In the file was a picture of me on my wedding day and a note in my ex-wife’s handwriting instructing the school to call the police if I appeared at the school for any reason. The principal told me that she did not know who wrote the note and claimed that I provided the school with a picture of me on my wedding day with my ex-wife cut out of the picture. If I would have provided the school with a wedding photo with my ex-wife cut out of the picture, I probably would have been arrested.

· Dr. Connor was licensed to practice psychology in the state of Kentucky but not Indiana. Lawyers tell me that this does not matter. Judge Taul stated the order to release [the evaluation] was for “the doctor to release that which he is required to do under Kentucky law.” I still cannot figure out why Indiana courts are going by Kentucky laws.

· When my Ohio lawyer requested Dr. Connor’s case file, Dr. Connor instructed him to get the file from me because Dr. Connor claimed that already had a copy of the file. Then Dr. Connor told my lawyer that he could not re-release the file because it contained confidential information. Dr. Connor later told my Indiana lawyer that there was a court order prohibiting him from releasing the file.

Imagine going through all of this without yelling and screaming. Imagine not fighting anyone. Imagine never leaving a profane message on an answering machine when the other parent terminates your ability to talk to your children on the phone. Imagine losing your children and taking it in stride. That is what I have had to do. If I blew up just one time, I would fit the label they tried to place on me.

Judge Humphrey said he was most concerned about my irrational behavior and attacks on Dr. Connor. Read my website and blog and tell me what part of Dr. Connor’s actions should not publically scrutinized. What should I do on June 14th? I guess I should just throw myself at the mercy of the court. I should take the stand and apologize to Judge James D. Humphrey for telling people that Dr. Edward J. Connor does not tell the truth. I will say I am sorry for publishing Dr. Connor’s conflicting and false written statements. I am sorry for posting the testimony of Dr. Connor because it is wrong for me to tell people that Dr. Connor lied under oath. I am sorry that I questioned why my ex-wife’s attorney, Angela G. Loechel, submitted a bogus document from Dr. Connor’s office in an attempt to deny my access to the case file or how Ms. Loechel was giving Dr. Connor legal advice to help protect Dr. Connor’s wife, Dr. Sara Jones-Connor, from having to testify. I am sorry for spreading my story because it provides support for parents like Scott, Kathy, John, Sherri, and Michael. I am sorry that I have been able to give insight and support to people in Australia, New Zealand, UK and other countries around the world. That is about all I can do because I do not have any evidence that I am not dangerous because there is not any evidence that says I am dangerous. I’m not at fault for all the people who have contacted me with similar complaints against Dr. Connor. It’s Dr. Connor’s fault for not doing his job. I have been slandered, harassed, arrested, and had the two most important things of my life stripped from me and I still have not done anything dangerous. What more do I need to prove?

I hope my story can give people some insight and support to stand up for their own causes. Almost any experience, whether good or bad, can be turned into a positive learning experience. When my children are older, they will be able to appreciate what sacrifice is and how we have to work hard to overcome obstacles in life. My children will always appreciate how I fought for them. The only thing that stands in the way of my children being united with their father are the people who are still trying to make an argument that I am potentially dangerous. They are the same people who do not want me to talk about the matter publically. If you have nothing to hide, there is no need to worry. I’m not worried. See you soon girls. I love you.

...and Dr. Edward J Connor says people with ADHD can't be parents

Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal published a story titled "Mind Games". The story discusses ADHD in adults and pros and cons of having ADHD. Adults with ADHD tend to have a higher risk for substance abuse, automobile accidents, etc... David Neeleman, the founder of JetBlue Airways, and Paul Orfalea, founder of Kinko's, have spoken out about how the disorder helped them come up with innovative ideas for their corporations, despite their having done poorly in school. The article never mentioned anything about ADHD causing people to be violent. The article never mentioned anything about parents with ADHD being a danger to their children. I lost my children largely to the fact that I have been treated for ADHD for the past 8 years.

The custody evaluator in my case, Dr. Edward J Connor of Connor and Associates, claimed that he had a hard time understanding me because of my ADHD. He claimed that my writings were confusing and difficult to follow. Dr. Connor claimed that my ADHD was to blame for the communication problems with my ex-wife. Dr. Ed Connor even suggested that people with OCD are better suited to care for young children that people with ADHD.

Dr. Connor said ADHD hindered my communication abilities. He made the argument that I had difficulties putting together coherent thoughts and sentences. Dr. Connor made many speculative statements and recommendations, yet he failed to contact my treating physician and therapist. Dr. Connor speculated what would happen "if" I stopped taking my medicine. He testified that he didn't know if I was taking my prescription on a regular basis. If Dr. Connor would have taken the time to contact my treating physician and therapist, he would have found that I never stopped taking medicine nor did I ever miss a therapy session. Rather than check the records, Dr. Connor speculated about prescription drug addiction, me not taking my medication, and everything in between.

Dr. Connor made all kind of outrageous claims and then wouldn't allow me to review his case file. Dr. Connor's evaluation made no mention of me being a danger to anyone. When I began requesting the file, Dr. Connor began contacting the Court about his concerns as to why I wanted the case file. I wanted the case file because Dr. Connor's contract said I was entitled to it. Indiana and Kentucky Law said I was entitled to it. Dr. Connor changed his policies regarding the release of the case file when I began requesting the file.

Dr. Edward J Connor of Connor and Associates in Erlanger, Kentucky is a danger to children. What psychological professional evaluates someone and then claims that the person is not entitled to the information that the evaluation is based upon? The depressing thing is Dr. Connor is directly involved with organizations like The Children's Home of Northern Kentucky. How many children are being harmed while Dr. Connor oversees the psychological staff of the Children's Home of Northern Kentucky? Dr. Connor claims he has difficulties communicating with people with ADHD. He claims people with OCD are better equipped to be parents than people with ADHD. ADHD parents are less likely to harm their children because dirty socks are left on the floor. ADHD parents are less likely to explode because things are out of order. Have you ever been afraid or known someone who was afraid of an OCD parent's reaction to an accident? Have you ever heard someone say, "My ADHD dad is going to kill me because I didn't separate the darks, colors, and whites before I did my laundry"? Probably not. I wash it all on the same cycle. Read the Wall Street Journal article, Dr. Edward J Connor. ADHD parents do not hurt children; people like Dr. Edward J Connor hurt children. Question to the Children's Home of Northern Kentucky: how long do you plan on allowing a child abuser to play a major role in your organization? As long as it's convenient I guess.

Very Disturbing Dr. Edward J Connor

I'm having a hard time coming to grips with this one. I came across this article on nky.com. Once again Dr. Edward J Connor of Connor and Associates, PLLC is testifying in criminal court hearings. Dr. Connor testified at the sentencing hearing of Kenneth Lester Mullikin, of Fort Thomas, Kentucky. Mullikin was the former Campbell County Democratic Party chairman. Mullikin was found guilty of being in possession of "sadistic and masochistic images of children being raped." As troubling as this is, what may even be more disturbing is Dr. Connor's "professional explanation" of what caused Mr. Mullikin's actions. The article stated, "[Dr. Connor] attributed Mullikin's addiction to child pornography to being sexually confused after becoming aroused while being spanked by a nun in fifth grade."

WHAT? I really don't even know what to say. I think someone could become "sexually confused" from reading that statement. I don't have the education and experience that Dr. Connor has, but I don't think that I would be going out on a limb by saying a fifth grader who becomes sexually aroused when being spanked by a nun probably has some pre-existing problems. Nuns spanking fifth graders do not cause addictions to child pornography. If this was the case, there would be a lot more people addicted to child pornography. Watching Sally Field in "The Flying Nun" probably causes more sexual deviance then getting spanked by nuns in the fifth grade. This is the same person who oversees the psychology staff at the Children's Home of Northern Kentucky. Dr. Connor is responsible for determining the lives of children in custody evaluations. I wonder how long it took Dr. Connor to figure out that Mullikin's problems were due to being sexually aroused while being spanked by a nun in the fifth grade? Dr. Connor claimed he had a hard time understanding me because I had ADHD. I wonder what U.S. District Judge Danny Reeves thought when he heard Dr. Connor's testimony? I just hope someone will do something about Dr. Edward J Connor before he has the opportunity to hurt other children.

Someone Named "legaleagle" said my Web Content is Garbage

It's a sad day for me. Someone wrote on the Yahoo Business review of Dr. Edward J Connor, that my internet content was garbage and that I was mentally ill. Of course this person hid behind the screen name legaleagle when they wrote these "mean" things. Did I say that I was sad? Actually I find it to be quite gratifying. Now there are two people on the Yahoo review site that have personally attacked me for holding Dr. Connor accountable for his actions. That means someone is very upset. I think it may be Dr. Connor because his practice has probably suffered a little since I began publicizing his unethical and illegal conduct. Please take note that I have never been sued as a result of my writings against Dr. Connor, Judge Humphrey, or anyone else involved. If I have said something slanderous, I welcome those who believe it to be slander to make it a legal issue. You can bring your evidence and I will bring mine. The thing that bothers people in the family court system is that they don't have quite the power outside of the system. If Dr. Connor sues me, then judges, lawyers, law enforcement officials, elected officials, state officials, prosecutors, and psychologists get subpoenaed. One crooked judge like James D Humphrey doesn't get to decide the whole case, it's decided by a jury of my peers. As Clint would say, "Go ahead, make my day." The day Dr. Connor sues me is the day that he turns himself in to the police. I take great pride in knowing that Dr. Connor will read or has read this post. Enjoy Ed.

P.S. After I originally posted the above blog, "Someone Named legalea..." , it came to my attention that two anonymous people, "??" and "Just Me(LOL)", posted negative information about me on The Dearborn County Public Forum. For those who think that I appear to "obsess" over the situation, try to think of what you would do if you lost your ability to see your children even though there was no evidence or accusations of neglect, abuse, accident, injury, etc... As much as Dr. Connor attacked me for publicizing his unethical conduct, even Dr. Connor testified that I should be able to exercise parenting time with the children on the days which their mother worked. Dr. Connor had no choice. That's what Dr. Connor recommended in his custody evaluation report. In the evaluation report, there was no mention of me being mentally unstable or anything that indicated that I presented any threat to anyone. Dr. Connor only began to attack me regarding his "concerns" about my stability after the custody evaluation was over. When I addressed his unethical and illegal conduct with the Court and the public, Dr. Connor said he was concerned about my mental health. No police action, no social services, child protective services, etc... just a crooked psychologist running from responsibility. Imagine if this happened to you. If the worst thing you did was exercise your 1st amendment right to freedom of speech, you handled the situation better than most. Keep the attacks coming anonymous people. If you think the State should have the ability to take away someone's children because you treated the State's expert unfairly, then you don't deserve your rights under the Constitution of the United States of America.

Officials who may be aware of Dr. Connor's Conduct

I have been emailing educators, officials, and organizations in Kentucky and Indiana. These are some of the organizations that may have visited my website www.DanHelpsKids.com and may have seen some of the unethical conduct of Dr. Edward J Connor.

The Children's Home of Northern Kentucky- Dr. Edward J Connor Psy D oversees the psychological staff at CHNK.

The Office of the Kentucky Attorney General- Jack Conway's office represents the Kentucky Board of Examiners of Psychology. At one point, Assistant Attorney General Mark Brengelman withheld a hard copy of a complaint against Dr. Connor from the Board, thus prolonging the time it took to investigate the matter.

The Kentucky Board of Examiners of Psychology- The Board has been aware of Dr. Connor's unethical conduct for some time now, yet the Board did not find Dr. Connor's actions to be any "apparent violation" of the laws governing psychology. Board member Richard Applegate withheld additional information pertaining to my complaint against Dr. Connor from the rest of the Board.

The State of Indiana

The University of Louisville

Dearborn County Sheriff David Lusby- Has not returned my correspondence regarding my questions concerning where I should file a complaint regarding mail and wire fraud. Dr. Connor made many false statements in his letters to me and the court. Dr. Connor sent these documents relating to his professional services by fax and US mail. I believe the officers who tried to intimidate me in an effort to deter me from inspecting public records in the Dearborn County Courthouse are part of Sheriff Lusby's force as well. The video of the harassing behavior is can be seen on YouTube

Dearborn County Prosecutor Aaron Negangard- Initiated an investigation of me based on an unnamed lawyer, according to Special Crimes Unit Detective Mike Kreinhop. The Dearborn County Special Crimes Unit apparently wanted me for questioning but would not give me any specifics into what the investigation was about or who made the complaint. When I declined to being questioned because they would not specify the scope of the investigation or give me an explanation why they could only talk to me in person, the investigation apparently went away.

(R)State Representative Johnny Nugent- Senator Nugent's office contacted me on September 14, 2009 and informed me that they were going to contact the Prosecutor and Social Services to get their opinion. The Prosecutor initiated a "secret" investigation of me a few weeks later and I have not heard from Senator Nugent's office since.

The following local governments in Indiana: Lawrenceburg, Aurora, and Rising Sun

Dearborn County Indiana Officials

The following local governments in Kentucky: Erlanger and Newport

Kenton County Kentucky Officials

Boone County Kentucky Officials

Boone County School System

Northern Kentucky University

Norb Ryan, ADA coordinator for the Commonwealth of Kentucky- Mr. Ryan responded in a prompt and courteous fashion, however Mr. Ryan stated his office did not have jurisdiction over the matter because it concerned an Indiana Court. Mr. Ryan was very receptive and gave me a few suggestions of what I may be able to do in Indiana. Dr. Connor was not licensed in the state of Indiana and the Indiana trial court would not compel Dr. Connor to release the file because Dr. Connor was in Kentucky. Dr. Connor has refused to comply with subpoenas outside of Kentucky. It appears that no state is responsible for the conduct of Dr. Edward J Connor.

The Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati- My oldest daughter is a kindergarten student at one of the Catholic schools in Cincinnati, Ohio. The school's policy pertaining to the release of school records is, if there is no protective order stating otherwise, the non-custodial parent is entitled to the child's student records. There is no such order. I received two progress reports. Assistant Superintendent Mary Henninger stated there was no other information to give. I guess they do not keep medical or contact information for students in the Cincinnati Catholic School System. Rather than give me a reason for not providing me with my child's records, Mary Henninger and the Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati resorted to lying. Not very Christian of them.

This list will grow as I will continue to contact people to help bring awareness how children are allowed to be abused by the people and organizations who we believe we can trust. It is apparent that Dr. Connor has fallen through the cracks of authority and only public awareness will help protect other children.

“As long as government is perceived as working for the benefit of children, the people happily will endure almost any curtailment of liberty.” -Adolf Hitler citing Rabbi Daniel Lapin

"Have Fun This Holiday Season"

This is the message on the Christmas cards that my family and I received from my Ex-wife. The Christmas card had a picture of my children who my family and I haven't seen for over four months. This is the same woman who has refused to let me speak to my children on the phone since September 4, 2009. There is a picture of my children on the card and the card reads "Have fun this Holiday Season", from my Ex and my girls.

My Ex-wife said I was confrontational and unstable. She said that I was intimidating. Her family said some of the same things in the custody evaluation. My Ex and her family did everything in their power to make me out to be a bad father. They succeeded and as a result of their efforts, I have not seen my children in over four months. So what does she do at Christmas time? She sends cards with a picture of my girls that state, "Have fun this Holiday Season." The same person who worked to take away my little girls from me and my family is sending Christmas cards with her name on it. I would love to get pictures of the girls. My Ex didn't even send me a copy of my oldest daughter's kindergarten school picture. She sent copies to some of my family but not me. My oldest hasn't sent me one written letter since Judge James D Humphrey terminated my visitation. I receive letters written by my Ex that are "from" the girls.

My Ex stated in the custody evaluation that she thought I could have equal weekend time with the children "if I was stable." She even went as far as to sign extra documents during the child custody evaluation with Dr. Edward J Connor and successfully argued that the documents she signed prevented me from having access to the evaluation case file. She and Dr. Edward J Connor of Connor and Associates conspired to obstruct my access to the evaluation case file. My Ex and her family portrayed me as some kind of menacing madman. If she truly believed that I was dangerous and unstable, why would she be sending Christmas cards with pictures of my daughters to my family telling us to "Have Fun This Holiday Season"? Why does she continue to antagonize my family when she has the power to correct the situation to enable the girls to see their father? She doesn't want me to be a part of the girls' lives. She probably considers herself to be an independent single woman. She worked hard to make it that way.

This should serve as an important message for parents who are involved in a divorce and/or custody disputes. Don't use you children as ammunition. Don't use your children as bait. It's a bittersweet moment when you get the first picture of your children together in four months. You love to see your children but you remember how much it hurts that you haven't seen them. Every time I look at the picture of my girls, I have to read the Holiday Greeting from the person who refuses to let the children talk to me on the phone. If your wish is to hurt the other parent, be careful because your wish may come true and you may make your children fatherless.

I bet the girls had a good Christmas. I often wonder what her family thinks of the situation. I thought I had a good relationship with her extended family. They trusted me with their elderly uncle and his handicapped accessible van. They trusted me to give their children rides on four wheelers. They trusted me to watch their kids. I guess her extended family now believes that I am not capable of being a father to the girls just because my Ex says so. I couldn't imagine enabling my daughters to do what my Ex's family has enabled her to do. I would never lie about the father of my grandchildren just to help my daughter eliminate the father from the children's lives. That's what they did.

I made the most out of my Christmas. I had a good time spending Christmas with my family. We made the most out of Christmas despite not being able to see my daughters. The new year is coming and it will be a new year of opportunity and action. Hopefully it won't be long before a dad and his little girls are reunited. Merry Christmas my little angels, Daddy is still working hard to see you.

Keep the Emails Coming

So far the reaction from the new site (www.DanHelpsKids.com) has been positive. Feel free to contact me to let me know of any broken links, spelling errors, etc... If you'd like to share any information or experiences that you have had with Dr. Edward J Connor, Judge James D Humphrey, or any other individual in the family court system, I would be happy to hear it. There is no reason people should fear sharing their experiences in the family court system.

Thank you for your support.

If you refer, retain, and/or appoint the services of Dr. Edward J Connor, you should take note.

It appears that I have struck a nerve with Dr. Edward J Connor Psy D, of Connor and Associates in Erlanger, Kentucky, by posting his conduct on the internet. Dr. Connor told one of my attorneys that there was a court order preventing him from releasing the case file from a child custody evaluation to me and then released a small portion of the case file to my other attorney. The Indiana trial courts would not protect my civil rights and the Kentucky Board of Examiners of Psychology and Attorney General Jack Conway will not protect my right to access my own health record so I am going to leave the writing of complaints up to the attorneys while I focus on telling people what goes on inside Dr. Connor's world and the people/organizations whom are affiliated with Dr. Connor. Consider it a Blogumentary. I'm going to send letters to people like the board members and donors of the Children's Home of Northern Kentucky, where Dr. Connor oversees the psychological staff. Places like the Children Home of Northern Kentucky can disregard my concerns but I will be posting the letters on this blog or my website so the public can see how they are affiliated with Dr. Connor. I will be posting letters that I received from the Kentucky Board of Examiners of Psychology and Kentucky Assistant Attorney General Mark Brengelman to give people an understanding of how the Board protected Dr. Connor, who testifies on behalf of the state of Kentucky in criminal and civil cases. I lost all visitation with my children based on the child custody evaluation of Dr. Edward J Connor. Dr. Connor claimed that he had a hard time understanding me and claimed my writings were confusing and difficult to follow. Dr. Connor will probably tell you that the remarks I've made about him are untrue and slanderous and Dr. Connor will use his authority to claim that I suffer from a plethora of psychological disorders. Please note in a letter to the Kentucky Board of Examiners of Psychology dated December 22, 2008, Dr. Connor wrote, "I have consulted with an attorney with regard to filing a restraining order against Mr. Brewington and/or filing charges of harassment, defamation of character or slander but have not taken these steps of yet and would prefer not to do so." Portraying himself as a victim is a common trait of Dr. Connor. I feel sure that Dr. Connor believed that I would not see a copy of the letter to the Board. After receiving a copy of Dr. Connor's letter through a public records request, I wrote Dr. Connor a letter encouraging him to have his lawyer refer any legal action directly to me. Nearly a year later, Dr. Connor has yet to follow through with his threats of legal action against me.

Dr. Connor will probably be (or has been) running some damage control resulting from the fallout of preparing a child custody evaluation that Dr. Connor claimed had "numerous errors and oversights." If Dr. Connor tries to tell you that I am unstable or dangerous, please keep in mind that there is no mention in Dr. Connor's child custody evaluation that I present any danger to my children or anyone else. I cared for my children nearly half the time over the course of a 2.5 year divorce without incident or injury only to have my parenting time ripped from me due to Dr. Connor's erroneous report and his ex parte communication with Judges. Dr. Connor began attacking me when I began requesting the case file from Dr. Connor's child custody evaluation report. I haven't seen my little girls in four months. I won't be able to see my 3 and 6 year old daughters at Christmas. Imagine the heartbreak of not being able to drive across town to see your children. Imagine living life with the pressure of having people like Dr. Edward J Connor and Judge James D Humphrey hoping that you lose your cool so they can say "we were right about him the whole time." I am using this experience as an opportunity to teach my children a lesson about how we need to stand up for our rights and how we have to go about it in an intellectual and peaceful manner. Dr. Connor can trump up all of the psychological interpretations of my psychological test data and claim that I am an unstable person but put yourself in my shoes. If you lost your ability to see your children, would you be calmly addressing the problem? That's what I am doing because I owe it to my children and I owe it to myself to be the person Dr. Connor doesn't want me to be. Remember Dr. Connor, no one would be in this position if you and Judge James D Humphrey would have done your jobs.
