Our Country has gone mad: A BILL IN CONGRESS MAKES IT A CRIME FOR PASTORS & CHURCHES...
=
- A California lawsuit which is headed to the U.S. Supreme Court would make the use of the words "natural family," "marriage" and "union of a man and a woman" a "hate speech" crime in government workplaces. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has already ruled in favor of the plaintiffs!
- CNN and The Washington Post both reported that General Peter Pace, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was fired because he publicly expressed moral opposition to homosexual behavior.

Race and Prejudice continues to raise its head in the Village of South Holland Illinois

South Holland, Illinois 60473
Mr. Millsaps:
On June 19, 2007 my neighbor, Celeste, was harassing and intimidating people I contracted to do Tuckpointing on my home. I asked my wife to call the South Holland Police Department (SHPD). She called and Officer DeYoung arrived at the scene. Officer DeYoung attempted to talk to Celeste, but she refused to answer her door. Officer DeYoung gave my wife CFS # 07-13418, which may be an incident report. Officer DeYoung informed my wife he could not do anything else because she has not committed a crime. I guess we have to wait until she hurts someone in my home. I guess she can do whatever she wants to my family because she is “white.”
Sir, I have other contractors coming to put new windows all around my home, gutters, soffets and fascia. I do not want my neighbor harassing and intimidating the people who come to my home. This neighbor still harasses and intimidates my daughter when she is playing with her friends. I have complained many times to SHPD, but to no avail. Celeste is white. My family is black. It appears has if you protect the “white” residents while leaving the “black” residents to deal with this racism and prejudice.
There should be equal justice for all. I will post this as usual on my website, hoping someone hears the cries of those caught up in the wilderness of racism and prejudice in the Village of South Holland, Illinois. I am attaching the other letters I have written about this woman who you allow to harass and intimidate my family. We are hoping you stop this injustice. This neighbor is not going to drive me out of this community. This neighbor is harassing and intimidating anyone who is “black” who comes around her property. I will send this letter and attachments to Mr. Millsaps and Mayor DeGraff by fax. I can assume she does know someone in the SHPD because she gets away with her harassment and intimidation.
Respectfully submitted,

Nance v. Village of South Holland
Mr. Moen:
On Saturday, June 3, 2006, my neighbor Celeste threatened me with bodily harm because I requested she restrain from putting water on my car. I informed Celeste last Sunday, May 28, 2006, she put water on my car while watering her grass. I parked my car in my driveway after washing it. My car was parked approximately 20 feet from my property line in my driveway. My car was parked in the same position Saturday while Celeste was watering her grass again. Celeste, who is White (Caucasian), informed me, Fred who is Black (African- American), she could do whatever she wants to do meaning she can put water on my car if that’s what she wants to do.
Celeste informed me she was not afraid of me. Celeste informed me she personally knew a police officer who would take care of me. Celeste informed me she had two sons, and when they came home she was going to call them telling them to come over to her house and to take care of me. Our neighbor, who lives in the house south of Celeste, heard the whole conversation.
I did not go to the South Holland Police Department (SHPD) because when I complained of another incident with this “white” woman SHPD ignored my complaint. I wrote a letter on October 10, 2005 addressing it to the Mayor of South Holland, the Chief of Police and the Deputy Chief of Police explaining the incident between Celeste and I. (letter attached)
These individuals did not respond to the letter of October 10, 2005. The message they send to an individual like Celeste is “she can do whatever she wants to do to a Black family.” In our social world this is called, “white privilege”, which is a form of discrimination if no action is taken to deter the proposed “privilege.”
The letter of October 10, 2005 talked about my daughter retrieving her basketball from Celeste’s yard. Celeste has a basketball apparatus attached to her property. I am sure her “boys” played basketball and retrieved their balls many times while they were growing up. It is only when my “black” family retrieves their balls we are accused of trespassing. This is what SHPD informed me my daughter could be accused of while retrieving her basketball from Celeste’s yard.
Therefore, I request to supplement my issues against South Holland with this complaint. Celeste does a lot of things which are offensive to her neighbors. Her neighbors choose to ignore her. Her neighbors are “black.” My “black” neighbor, who lives just south of Celeste, witnessed the encounter I had on Saturday with Celeste.
This is part and partial of the disparate treatment of blacks in South Holland. This is not an isolated incident.

On October 10, 2005 at approximately 11:05 am I, Fred L Nance Jr., went to the South Holland Police Department (SHPD) to file a complaint against my neighbor, who lives at 17245 South Evans, South Holland, Illinois, 60473. The complaint I requested was for harassment and intimidation of my daughter, Kristina Gaston age 11. After waiting in their foyer for about 30 minutes (approximately 11:35 pm), Officer Staples came out to discuss this matter. Officer Staples had entered the police station about 15 minutes before speaking with me, approximately 11:20 am.
I explained to Officer Staples my daughter plays basketball for her school and an outside team. I explained my daughter practices on her basketball hoop in our driveway. I informed Officer Staples my daughter’s basketball sometimes bounces off the rim of her hoop rolling into my neighbor’s grass. I informed Officer Staples my neighbor has consistently harassed and intimidated my daughter about the ball rolling on her grass. Officer Staples never asked me what did your neighbor say to your daughter or how did she harass and intimidate her.
Officer Staples informed me my neighbor could file charges against me and my daughter for “criminal trespass” to property. Officer Staples stated my neighbor would have more validity to her complaint. Officer Staples informed me I had no validity to my claim of harassment or intimidation because my daughter is wrong for letting her basketball roll in the neighbor’s grass. This is ludicrous. I informed Officer Staples this issue can escalate into a bad situation. He just shrugged his shoulders.
I believe the service and information I received from SHPD is retaliatory in nature due to the reports I have made against SHPD. It is my belief SHPD is purposely negating any allegations I bring to this department. Therefore, I request a written statement or intervention by a senior officer, such as a Lieutenant or Sergeant, as to how an issue like this can be resolved before it escalates into something else.
Thank you.

Courts - Illinois' Cook County Sheriff's Office: Daily Corruption
Update: January 13, 2007
I received a response from the County of Cook, Office of the State's Attorney today. The letter reports in part "...Re: Cook County Sheriff's Deputies...I am in receipt of your letter dated December 24, 2006...I have forwarded it to Jim Knibbs, Supervisor of the Public Corruption & Financial Crimes Unit, for his review." Signed C. Konopka, Administrative Assistant to the State's Attorney.
Update: December 24, 2006
December 24, 2006
Mr. Richard A. Devine
Illinois’ Cook County State’s Attorney
69 West Washington, Suite 3200
Chicago, Illinois 60602
Re: Eviction: Criminal actions of Cook County Sheriff’s Deputies and accomplices
Mr. Devine:
On or about September 8, 2006 there was a purported eviction by the Cook County Sheriff’s Department. This purported eviction turned into a robbery, theft, burglary and home evasion. Cook County Sheriff’s Deputies and their accomplices who purport to be there to remove the personal items of the occupants decided to vandalize, rob, and steal money and personal property from the occupants of the residence.
In addition, the A.T. Sterling Properties & Development Group, Inc., Mr. Samusi B. Adelekan, et al. appears to have been involved in a scheme and/or conspiracy to defraud and criminally victimize the occupants of the apartment in question. I am requesting your office investigate the Cook County Sheriff's Department, specifically, the Sheriff’s deputies and accomplices mentioned in the letter dated September 16, 2006 to A.T. Sterling Properties & Development Group, Inc., for gross misconduct, in that, their deputies and accomplices may be guilty of home invasion, robbery, theft, and burglary; and investigate, for criminal prosecution, the activities of the A.T. Sterling Properties & Development Group, Inc. for improprieties leading up to and including their possible implicitly in the actions reported here.
Supposedly the deputies and accomplices entered the premises in question to evict the occupants. From the photos and videos taken by the residents/occupants, once permitted to go back into the residence after the Sheriff's deputies had left, one can clearly see that the deputies of the Sheriff's department and possibly their accomplices ransacked the apartment apparently looking for more money than they had already taken and additional personal property.
Cereal boxes and other boxed food can be clearly seen in the video, where the boxes have been opened and poured out, as well as the apartment looking like it has been searched and ransacked instead of an eviction taking place where someone would be taking all furniture and other items to put out of the residence/apartment. This is clearly a robbery, theft, burglary and possibly home invasion. Some of the occupants were in the house when the deputies arrived. The occupants were forced to leave their apartment without taking any of their personal items, such as money and valuables with them. The sheriff's deputies who entered the premises informed the occupants they could not take anything out of the apartment when they were forcibly removed before the Sheriff's deputies began searching and vandalizing the apartment instead of evicting the residents.
Please review the accompanying documents sent to the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, specifically, to Mr. Thomas Dart and investigate.

Re: Cook County Sheriff’s Office Corruption
Mr. Dart:
Your Sheriff’s Department went to this address reportedly for an eviction. This eviction turned into a robbery, theft and burglary by your Sheriff’s department and the individuals who accompanied your deputies for the purported purpose of removing the personal items of the occupants. My step-son, Christopher Bouyer-Coutee, has pictures and video of the apartment in question, which were taken after the “eviction.” From the video it is apparently clear this apartment was searched and vandalized by your Sheriff’s deputies and accomplices as if they were looking for more money and other personal items to steal, as reported in the letter dated September 16, 2006 addressed to A.T. Sterling Properties & Development Group, Inc., 345 North LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60610.
Those Cook County Sheriff’s deputies and their accomplices are criminals and they committed a criminal act. Christopher and an attorney visited your office about this issue. Your office reportedly stated it could not do anything.
Where is the investigation into the criminal activities of these deputies and their accomplices? My son lost valuable audio and video equipment. My son does not have a criminal background, nor is he involved in criminal activities. I will introduce and produce the videos on my website as soon as I extract them from the video recording device of my son. Please investigate

A.T. Sterling Properties & Development Group, Inc.
345 North LaSalle Street
Chicago, Illinois 60610
Condo Association President:
Please be advised: I, Fred L Nance Jr., am advocating for Mr. Christopher Bouyer-Coutee. Advocacy agreement papers are on file and accompany this document. Christopher is 19-years-old.
On or about March 1, 2006 Christopher Bouyer-Coutee (Christopher), Percy Gibson (Gibson), Clifford Castillo (Castillo) and Lavell Sykes (Sykes) entered into a sub-lease agreement with Mr. Samusi B. Adelekan, who reports to an agent for A.T. Sterling Properties & Development Group, Inc. (“The Group”), renting apartment 4002. Christopher has a letter dated September 11, 2006 from Mr. Adelekan stating Christopher et al. have faithfully paid their rent for apartment 4002.
On or about September 8, 2006 the Cook County Sheriff’s Department evicted the occupants of apartment 4002, located at 345 North LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois. Christopher reports there were three (3) to four (4) Sheriff’s cars and a regular car evicting them. One of the Sheriffs’ car’s license plate number is S161166 and Squad car number 8421. Christopher reports they had not received “legal” notice of an eviction from owner of the condo nor from “The Group”.
Christopher Bouyer-Coutee was evicted from apartment 4002. Christopher reports the Cook County Sheriff’s department personnel evicted him from his apartment. Christopher reports “The Group” prevented him from obtaining his personnel belongings on September 8, 2006 stating he had to get it from the “new” owner of the condo. Christopher reports talking to the “new” owners on September 8, 2006, an old black couple, who stated they did not have anything to do with it. This old black couple was talking to the Sheriff who was evicting Christopher.
Christopher gave me information on the real estate agent who possibly is involved in this fiasco. Her name is Sandra Halliburton of Halli Enterprise. Christopher reports faxing a letter dated September 13, 2006 and proof of residency to Ms. Halliburton at 708-782-4147 (fax number). I called her at 773-368-0164. She refused to talk to me stating I should call number 773-723-2890. I called this number leaving a message because no one answered. I called this number on September 16, 2006 at approximately 6:15 pm, 6:30 pm, 7:00 pm and 7:15 pm.
My wife, Darlene Bouyer-Nance, called 773-723-2890. My wife states Ms. Halliburton answered the phone informing my wife she would contact “The Group” making arrangements for Christopher, Sykes, Gibson and Castillo to retrieve the rest of their personal property.
Christopher reports Sykes had $25,000.00 in the pocket of his snowsuit, hanging in the closet, which was ear-marked for loan pay back accrued for merchandise located at “Self Conscience Lifestyle Footwear & Apparel: By VDOT, 1021 West Lake Street, Chicago, Illinois, phone number 312-633-4000.
Christopher reports Castillo had $1800.00 in a shoe box, in the closet, which he was not able to retrieve because “The Group” agent would not permit him to re-enter the building. Christopher reports he was not able to retrieve 25 pairs of shoes, clothes, accessories and college supplies and books. Christopher reports Castillo, Sykes, and he have also lost their IPODS. Christopher also reports there were many other items not accounted for because of this non-notice, illegal eviction. No papers were served upon Christopher et al.
It appears there was no “legal” notice given the sub-lessees’ mentioned above. It appears “The Group” may have violated the sub-lessees’ housing rights, discriminating against them. It appears the agent, Sandra Halliburton, for the “new” owners violated the lessees’ housing rights, discriminating against them.
Also, why did “The Group” prevent the occupants from retrieving their personal property, especially their money? If the condo was owned by Mr. Adelekan, who is a representative of “The Group”, why didn’t he give the sub-lessees’ a “legal” notice of eviction? It is believed Mr. Adelekan owned the condo because his nephew collected the rent on the apartment. Why didn’t Mr. Adelekan inform the lessees’ of the threat of eviction?
According to Christopher, this apartment was in foreclosure on November 16, 2005, case number 05 CH 13576. The judgment of foreclosure was issued on January 3, 2006 against Tom Brendaro. Christopher and company never paid rent to Mr. Brendaro. Christopher and company paid rent to Mr. Adelekan’s nephew, which was cash. Who is Mr. Brendaro?
Therefore, I will mail this letter to “The Group” and fax it to the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to see if there were any violations of the Act in this matter. I will file a complaint with this office. I expect a response from “The Group” and Halli Enterprises.

Re: Illinois Cook County Sheriff Department Personnel – Unprofessional Conduct in a Court Room promoting separatism, racism, and indifferent treatment
Dear Sir/Madam:
I, Fred Nance Jr., am an African American pro se litigant in case # 00 P 1267, in room 1806, the Honorable Judge McGury presiding. On Friday, May 20, 2005, I attended court in room 1806. While I was presenting my case to Judge McGury, the “white” female sheriff deputy stated to me, “When you talk in this courtroom look straight at the Judge. Don’t look at the other people.” I was appalled, embarrassed, and humiliated.
I addressed this issue with Judge McGury. I asked the Judge, “who is she talking too. I know she is not talking to me.” I continued to litigate my case looking at the Judge and looking at the attorneys litigating against me. While the attorneys were litigating their side of the issue, particularly, Guardian ad litem Theresa Ceko, they looked at me. This “white” female sheriff’s deputy never said anything to them. Theresa Ceko and Attorney Bergmann are “white.”
The “white” female sheriff’s deputy called other sheriff deputies to courtroom 1806. By the time I finished my case, I had 2 sheriff deputies behind me, 3 sheriff deputies in the doorway leading to back offices of the courtroom, and 2 sheriff deputies outside the exit door to the courtroom. This is not done to other attorneys or non-attorneys, and should not be done to any litigant in a case, especially if they are not causing harm to any courtroom personnel.
There was no reason for this “white” female sheriff’s deputy to act as she did. It is my belief that she did it because of how I was litigating my case. I had Judge McGury’s attention toward the matters I was presenting. I was articulating my position well, and overcoming the adversarial conversations of Ms. Ceko and Attorney Bergmann.
I have a Bachelor and Master degree from Roosevelt University. My Bachelor’s degree is in Social Science. My Master’s degree is in Community Counseling. I am a certified Alcohol and Drug counselor with the Illinois Certification Board, dba, Illinois Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Professional Certification Association, Inc. (IAODAPCA). I have been awarded the classification of National Certified Recovery Specialist (NCRS), which is also certified through IAODAPCA. I am a PhD candidate with Walden University. My doctoral studies are in the discipline of Human Services with a focus on Social Policy Analysis and Planning. I am two chapters away from my doctorate degree. I am not illiterate, and ignorant of the law. I can articulate my issues very well. I have been litigating in my own behalf for over 13 years.
This “white” female sheriff deputy’s behavior and statement to me in open court was disrespectful, embarrassing, and appalling. She owes me an apology. Her statement reminded me of past days when “white” people told “black” people to look down at the ground when you talk to a “white” person. I am 55-years-old. I remember racism in the Southern and Northern States of America. I know and can recognize racism in its present day stages. I address and correspond with other colleagues issues similar to these everyday on my website by email and writing letters (see http://www.complaints.com/ under my name, Fred Nance).
As stated above, I am a pro se litigant with similar rights as an attorney while litigating my case in a courtroom. Attorneys look around the courtroom while talking everyday. Attorneys look at each other while talking. Your “white” female sheriff’s deputy and the Sheriff’s department will not treat me indifferent in this courtroom or in any other courtroom.
Due to the acts complained of against this “white” female sheriff deputy, I gave up my Memorial holiday weekend with my grandson. When Attorney Bergmann asked me in front of Judge McGury if the respondent, Julia Johnson, could have my holiday weekend I said yes without thinking about what I had scheduled for this holiday weekend. I could not think at this time because of what was going on around me. I made this error due to the nervous feeling I had with the deputy sheriff’s that flanked my space and position in the courtroom. I did not know what they were going to do to me. I was thinking, during my litigating process, that the deputy sheriff’s were going to find something wrong with my speech in the courtroom and arrest me. This is appalling.
I was hindered from litigating my case, all because this “white” female sheriff’s deputy did not like how I was litigating my case to Judge McGury, Theresa Ceko, and Attorney Bergmann. Judge McGury did not see anything wrong with my litigating processes. She did not order the “white” sheriff’s deputy to act. There was nothing, apparently in Judge McGury sight, to act on. Not only did I lose my holiday visitation, Attorney Bergmann and Theresa Ceko scheduled the next court date for a court appearance without checking with me to confirm a date from my daily planner, which is common among litigating parties. This is appalling and unprofessional of a court officer.
The reason I was not present for the scheduling of the next court date is because I went to report this incident to the Sheriff department office on 7th floor. I needed to stop this adversarial behavior of this “white” female sheriff’s deputy. Lieutenant Janice Prescott took my statement. She did not write it down. She informed me that she and Assistant Chief Burrough Cartrette would investigate the issue. Lt. Prescott informed me that I could also complain to the Inspector General’s office. I am choosing to complain to the Inspector General’s office because I want a formal written complaint, which is this writing. I am also going to post this written complaint on my website, http://www.clickservices.org/.
This behavior and character of a “white” sheriff’s deputy cannot be tolerated. A sheriff’s deputy should not, and should be restrained from such actions and behavior as described above.
I would hope that the Illinois Cook County Sheriff’s Department does not attempt to cover up this incident because it is directed at a “white” female sheriff’s deputy. That is why I am posting this complaint on my website, to inform the world about the actions of a sheriff’s deputy of the Illinois Cook County Sheriff’s Department in Chicago. The Sheriff’s office should not humiliate, embarrass, or demean a litigant in any matter. This behavior can only lead to individuals believing there is no justice in the court system, and especially hindrance in the justice system from courtroom personnel.
I have been litigating in this courtroom since January 2000. This type of behavior is not practiced against “white” people litigating in this courtroom. This sheriff’s deputy informs the courtroom that there is no talking while court is in session. This sheriff’s deputy allows court personnel and attorneys to talk in the courtroom while court is in session. Many conversations in a courtroom are of court matters. This is no excuse for allowing the court personnel and private attorneys to talk in court while court is in session. They can go in the “back” to talk or in the hallway as other litigants are afforded. If non-attorneys and non-court personnel have to go outside the courtroom to talk, it should go across the board. Attorneys talk to each other all the time in this courtroom while court is in session in the courtroom. The public needs to know how the Illinois Cook County Sheriff’s Department works to promote separatism, racism, and overall disrespect to all African Americans.
I would hope that there is no retaliation from the Illinois Cook County Sheriff’s Department upon my person, in or out of court, for filing this report and pursuing my right to complain.

Re: Letter/Complaint of May 23, 2005
Mr. Sheahan:
This letter/correspondence will be published and posted on my website at: http://clickforjusticeandequality.blogspot.com/. Concerned citizens who vote need to know how the Cook County Sheriff’s Office operates under the direction of Michael Sheahan. This is a brief account, but not all inclusive of the nefarious acts complained of against Cook County Sheriff Deputies assigned to Court Services at the Daley Center, specifically, courtrooms on the 18th floor, of character and behavior that was egregious, outrageous, despotic and demeaning in nature committed toward Fred Nance Jr.
I, Fred Nance Jr., filed the complaints below on or about May 23, 2005 with your Inspector General’s office. I was assigned an officer from the Internal Affairs Division. I have not received any correspondence from the assigned officer. I have left telephone messages. I have visited the Internal Affairs office and left messages, yet no one has contacted me with any results from their “internal” investigation.
I have informed your Internal Affairs office about continued harassment from other Sheriff’s Deputies in Court Services at the Daley Center. These deputies are assigned to Judges in the Probate Division on the 18th Floor. Most recently, I was harassed and intimidated on November 2, 2005.
If you read my writing “Chicago’s Daley Center Judicial Processes and Prejudices: President Bush’s Choice is the Solution for the Daley Center”, which is posted on my website at http://clickforjusticeandequality.blogspot.com/, it will give an understanding of what is going on in the courtroom, as I perceive it. What complicates my litigation processes as a “pro se” litigant is your deputies assigned to Court Services harassing and intimidating me while I am trying to survive this onslaught from Judge Riley and his cohorts.
On June 13, 2005 I wrote a letter to the Judicial Inquiry Board stating, in part, Judge McGury has allowed the courtroom staff, that is, Cook County Deputy Sheriffs’ and clerks, to degrade and humiliate Nance in open court (attached Sheriff’s complaint).
On July 18, 2005 I wrote a letter to the Honorable Chief Judge Timothy Evans stating, in part, On July 15, 2005, I presented a motion for recusal of a judge, which was heard by Judge James Riley. Judge Riley refused to recuse himself and refused to allow evidence presented for his recusal (letter dated January 12, 2001 to the Honorable Judge Henry Budzinski) to the record issuing an order to SOJ the case for a hearing to Presiding Judge Budzinski.
Judge Riley also allowed his courtroom staff, that is, Cook County Sheriff’s deputies to harass and intimidate me, such as surrounding me in the courtroom during the litigation process with no probable cause or provocation from me.
I requested of Cook County Deputy Sgt. Vogwill the names of the deputies that were present in the courtroom. Sgt. Vogwill refused to give their names stating I should ask the deputies for their names. I asked the Cook County Sheriff deputies for their names. The Cook County Sheriff’s deputies were Sgt. Vogwill (white female), Officers Keblis (white male), Covington (black female), and Olano (white/Hispanic male). When I asked deputy Olano for his name, he aggressively and with an intimidating gesture requested my name stating he had to make out a report for me asking him for his name. Sgt. Vogwill acknowledged and affirmed that deputy Olano had to file a report because I asked for his name. I would like a copy of this report.
On November 2, 2005, I was sitting outside Judge James Riley’s courtroom while he was conducting a trial. There were no Sheriff’s Deputies in the courtroom. As questioning was taking place a Sheriff’s Deputy came from room 1813 (I believe it was 1813; it is a records room) walking toward me putting on his tie and stood outside the courtroom of Judge Riley. He was approached by a female Sheriff’s Deputy and a male Sheriff’s Deputy. These two Sheriff’s Deputies have been part of my past reports to Internal Affairs. The Sheriff’s Deputy who was standing outside of Judge Riley’s courtroom told the other Deputies that he was called to be in Judge Riley courtroom because of an emergency. The two deputies grabbed the deputy by the arm and escorted him down the hallway where the three of them continued to talk.
When the Sheriff’s deputy came back and stood by Judge Riley’s courtroom I asked him “they posted you here for an emergency, huh? What is the emergency?” The officer ignored me. When the trial was over I entered the courtroom. The Sheriff’s Deputy entered the courtroom. Judge Riley called my case. I approached the bench and stood to the right of the bench. The Sheriff’s Deputy approached the bench and stood to the right of me. This was inappropriate and aggressive. I was not an inmate and I was not a threat to the courtroom procedure. After I articulated my issues and Judge Riley denied my motion, I left the courtroom. As I went out the door there were two more Sheriff’s deputies standing on the wall looking into Judge Riley’s courtroom. They looked away from me as I walked by them.
It may appear to you as happenstance (as other authorities from your office have deemed it), but I assure you your Sheriff’s Deputies were placed there to harass and intimidate me. Sir, they accomplished there mission. As I have illustrated in the letter below and additional statements made to Internal Affairs, when your deputies are surrounding, treating me like a criminal, stalking me, I am nervous and contentious when proceeding in front of the Judge wondering if your deputies will create something to constitute an arrest.
A “pro se” person or any person litigating or otherwise should not be treated in this manner. Your deputies are egregious and nefarious. My complaints are swept under the rug by your office and your Internal Affairs office. How can entity investigate itself? It is impossible because of the relationships and nepotism. Your officers know nothing will happen to them. Being a mental health professional I understand unaddressed negative behavior repeats itself. If your office does not address this type of targeting and oppression, tyranny will surely reign. Of course your officers will have an excuse, which will be covered up by the Judges because of the complaints I have published and posted about the Judges on my websites. Nevertheless, the public will be concerned about what actions your office takes. Sir, you know what your deputies are capable of and the reports have made are not isolated incidents.
There is no excuse that your Internal Affairs office can use to justify why they have not had a personal interview with me and why they have taken no action. It has been 5 months since I filed my complaint. This is egregious, outrageous and ludicrous. Sir, what is your response?

Re: Eviction: Criminal actions of Cook County Sheriff’s Deputies and accomplices
Mr. Devine:
On or about September 8, 2006 there was a purported eviction by the Cook County Sheriff’s Department. This purported eviction turned into a robbery, theft, burglary and home evasion. Cook County Sheriff’s Deputies and their accomplices who purport to be there to remove the personal items of the occupants decided to vandalize, rob, and steal money and personal property from the occupants of the residence.
In addition, the A.T. Sterling Properties & Development Group, Inc., Mr. Samusi B. Adelekan, et al. appears to have been involved in a scheme and/or conspiracy to defraud and criminally victimize the occupants of the apartment in question. I am requesting your office investigate the Cook County Sheriff's Department, specifically, the Sheriff’s deputies and accomplices mentioned in the letter dated September 16, 2006 to A.T. Sterling Properties & Development Group, Inc., for gross misconduct, in that, their deputies and accomplices may be guilty of home invasion, robbery, theft, and burglary; and investigate, for criminal prosecution, the activities of the A.T. Sterling Properties & Development Group, Inc. for improprieties leading up to and including their possible implicitly in the actions reported here.
Supposedly the deputies and accomplices entered the premises in question to evict the occupants. From the photos and videos taken by the residents/occupants, once permitted to go back into the residence after the Sheriff's deputies had left, one can clearly see that the deputies of the Sheriff's department and possibly their accomplices ransacked the apartment apparently looking for more money than they had already taken and additional personal property.
Cereal boxes and other boxed food can be clearly seen in the video, where the boxes have been opened and poured out, as well as the apartment looking like it has been searched and ransacked instead of an eviction taking place where someone would be taking all furniture and other items to put out of the residence/apartment. This is clearly a robbery, theft, burglary and possibly home invasion. Some of the occupants were in the house when the deputies arrived. The occupants were forced to leave their apartment without taking any of their personal items, such as money and valuables with them. The sheriff's deputies who entered the premises informed the occupants they could not take anything out of the apartment when they were forcibly removed before the Sheriff's deputies began searching and vandalizing the apartment instead of evicting the residents.
Please review the accompanying documents sent to the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, specifically, to Mr. Thomas Dart and investigate.

Re: Cook County Sheriff’s Office Corruption
Mr. Dart:
Your Sheriff’s Department went to this address reportedly for an eviction. This eviction turned into a robbery, theft and burglary by your Sheriff’s department and the individuals who accompanied your deputies for the purported purpose of removing the personal items of the occupants. My step-son, Christopher Bouyer-Coutee, has pictures and video of the apartment in question, which were taken after the “eviction.” From the video it is apparently clear this apartment was searched and vandalized by your Sheriff’s deputies and accomplices as if they were looking for more money and other personal items to steal, as reported in the letter dated September 16, 2006 addressed to A.T. Sterling Properties & Development Group, Inc., 345 North LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60610.
Those Cook County Sheriff’s deputies and their accomplices are criminals and they committed a criminal act. Christopher and an attorney visited your office about this issue. Your office reportedly stated it could not do anything.
Where is the investigation into the criminal activities of these deputies and their accomplices? My son lost valuable audio and video equipment. My son does not have a criminal background, nor is he involved in criminal activities. I will introduce and produce the videos on my website as soon as I extract them from the video recording device of my son. Please investigate

345 North LaSalle Street
Chicago, Illinois 60610
Condo Association President:
Please be advised: I, Fred L Nance Jr., am advocating for Mr. Christopher Bouyer-Coutee. Advocacy agreement papers are on file and accompany this document. Christopher is 19-years-old.
On or about March 1, 2006 Christopher Bouyer-Coutee (Christopher), Percy Gibson (Gibson), Clifford Castillo (Castillo) and Lavell Sykes (Sykes) entered into a sub-lease agreement with Mr. Samusi B. Adelekan, who reports to an agent for A.T. Sterling Properties & Development Group, Inc. (“The Group”), renting apartment 4002. Christopher has a letter dated September 11, 2006 from Mr. Adelekan stating Christopher et al. have faithfully paid their rent for apartment 4002.
On or about September 8, 2006 the Cook County Sheriff’s Department evicted the occupants of apartment 4002, located at 345 North LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois. Christopher reports there were three (3) to four (4) Sheriff’s cars and a regular car evicting them. One of the Sheriffs’ car’s license plate number is S161166 and Squad car number 8421. Christopher reports they had not received “legal” notice of an eviction from owner of the condo nor from “The Group”.
Christopher Bouyer-Coutee was evicted from apartment 4002. Christopher reports the Cook County Sheriff’s department personnel evicted him from his apartment. Christopher reports “The Group” prevented him from obtaining his personnel belongings on September 8, 2006 stating he had to get it from the “new” owner of the condo. Christopher reports talking to the “new” owners on September 8, 2006, an old black couple, who stated they did not have anything to do with it. This old black couple was talking to the Sheriff who was evicting Christopher.
Christopher gave me information on the real estate agent who possibly is involved in this fiasco. Her name is Sandra Halliburton of Halli Enterprise. Christopher reports faxing a letter dated September 13, 2006 and proof of residency to Ms. Halliburton at 708-782-4147 (fax number). I called her at 773-368-0164. She refused to talk to me stating I should call number 773-723-2890. I called this number leaving a message because no one answered. I called this number on September 16, 2006 at approximately 6:15 pm, 6:30 pm, 7:00 pm and 7:15 pm.
My wife, Darlene Bouyer-Nance, called 773-723-2890. My wife states Ms. Halliburton answered the phone informing my wife she would contact “The Group” making arrangements for Christopher, Sykes, Gibson and Castillo to retrieve the rest of their personal property.
Christopher reports Sykes had $25,000.00 in the pocket of his snowsuit, hanging in the closet, which was ear-marked for loan pay back accrued for merchandise located at “Self Conscience Lifestyle Footwear & Apparel: By VDOT, 1021 West Lake Street, Chicago, Illinois, phone number 312-633-4000.
Christopher reports Castillo had $1800.00 in a shoe box, in the closet, which he was not able to retrieve because “The Group” agent would not permit him to re-enter the building. Christopher reports he was not able to retrieve 25 pairs of shoes, clothes, accessories and college supplies and books. Christopher reports Castillo, Sykes, and he have also lost their IPODS. Christopher also reports there were many other items not accounted for because of this non-notice, illegal eviction. No papers were served upon Christopher et al.
It appears there was no “legal” notice given the sub-lessees’ mentioned above. It appears “The Group” may have violated the sub-lessees’ housing rights, discriminating against them. It appears the agent, Sandra Halliburton, for the “new” owners violated the lessees’ housing rights, discriminating against them.
Also, why did “The Group” prevent the occupants from retrieving their personal property, especially their money? If the condo was owned by Mr. Adelekan, who is a representative of “The Group”, why didn’t he give the sub-lessees’ a “legal” notice of eviction? It is believed Mr. Adelekan owned the condo because his nephew collected the rent on the apartment. Why didn’t Mr. Adelekan inform the lessees’ of the threat of eviction?
According to Christopher, this apartment was in foreclosure on November 16, 2005, case number 05 CH 13576. The judgment of foreclosure was issued on January 3, 2006 against Tom Brendaro. Christopher and company never paid rent to Mr. Brendaro. Christopher and company paid rent to Mr. Adelekan’s nephew, which was cash. Who is Mr. Brendaro?
Therefore, I will mail this letter to “The Group” and fax it to the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to see if there were any violations of the Act in this matter. I will file a complaint with this office. I expect a response from “The Group” and Halli Enterprises.

I remember racism in the Southern and Northern States of America. I know and can recognize racism in its present day stages. I address and correspond with other colleagues issues similar to these everyday on my website by email and writing letters (see http://www.complaints.com/ under my name, Fred Nance).
As stated above, I am a pro se litigant with similar rights as an attorney while litigating my case in a courtroom. Attorneys look around the courtroom while talking everyday. Attorneys look at each other while talking. Your “white” female sheriff’s deputy and the Sheriff’s department will not treat me indifferent in this courtroom or in any other courtroom.
Due to the acts complained of against this “white” female sheriff deputy, I gave up my Memorial holiday weekend with my grandson. When Attorney Bergmann asked me in front of Judge McGury if the respondent, Julia Johnson, could have my holiday weekend I said yes without thinking about what I had scheduled for this holiday weekend. I could not think at this time because of what was going on around me. I made this error due to the nervous feeling I had with the deputy sheriff’s that flanked my space and position in the courtroom. I did not know what they were going to do to me. I was thinking, during my litigating process, that the deputy sheriff’s were going to find something wrong with my speech in the courtroom and arrest me. This is appalling.
I was hindered from litigating my case, all because this “white” female sheriff’s deputy did not like how I was litigating my case to Judge McGury, Theresa Ceko, and Attorney Bergmann. Judge McGury did not see anything wrong with my litigating processes. She did not order the “white” sheriff’s deputy to act. There was nothing, apparently in Judge McGury sight, to act on. Not only did I lose my holiday visitation, Attorney Bergmann and Theresa Ceko scheduled the next court date for a court appearance without checking with me to confirm a date from my daily planner, which is common among litigating parties. This is appalling and unprofessional of a court officer.
The reason I was not present for the scheduling of the next court date is because I went to report this incident to the Sheriff department office on 7th floor. I needed to stop this adversarial behavior of this “white” female sheriff’s deputy. Lieutenant Janice Prescott took my statement. She did not write it down. She informed me that she and Assistant Chief Burrough Cartrette would investigate the issue. Lt. Prescott informed me that I could also complain to the Inspector General’s office. I am choosing to complain to the Inspector General’s office because I want a formal written complaint, which is this writing. I am also going to post this written complaint on my website, http://www.clickservices.org/.
This behavior and character of a “white” sheriff’s deputy cannot be tolerated. A sheriff’s deputy should not, and should be restrained from such actions and behavior as described above.
I would hope that the Illinois Cook County Sheriff’s Department does not attempt to cover up this incident because it is directed at a “white” female sheriff’s deputy. That is why I am posting this complaint on my website, to inform the world about the actions of a sheriff’s deputy of the Illinois Cook County Sheriff’s Department in Chicago. The Sheriff’s office should not humiliate, embarrass, or demean a litigant in any matter. This behavior can only lead to individuals believing there is no justice in the court system, and especially hindrance in the justice system from courtroom personnel.
I have been litigating in this courtroom since January 2000. This type of behavior is not practiced against “white” people litigating in this courtroom. This sheriff’s deputy informs the courtroom that there is no talking while court is in session. This sheriff’s deputy allows court personnel and attorneys to talk in the courtroom while court is in session. Many conversations in a courtroom are of court matters. This is no excuse for allowing the court personnel and private attorneys to talk in court while court is in session. They can go in the “back” to talk or in the hallway as other litigants are afforded. If non-attorneys and non-court personnel have to go outside the courtroom to talk, it should go across the board. Attorneys talk to each other all the time in this courtroom while court is in session in the courtroom. The public needs to know how the Illinois Cook County Sheriff’s Department works to promote separatism, racism, and overall disrespect to all African Americans.
I would hope that there is no retaliation from the Illinois Cook County Sheriff’s Department upon my person, in or out of court, for filing this report and pursuing my right to complain.

Cook County Sheriff’s Office

Chicago, Illinois 60602
Re: Letter/Complaint of May 23, 2005
Mr. Sheahan:
This letter/correspondence will be published and posted on my website at: http://clickforjusticeandequality.blogspot.com/. Concerned citizens who vote need to know how the Cook County Sheriff’s Office operates under the direction of Michael Sheahan. This is a brief account, but not all inclusive of the nefarious acts complained of against Cook County Sheriff Deputies assigned to Court Services at the Daley Center, specifically, courtrooms on the 18th floor, of character and behavior that was egregious, outrageous, despotic and demeaning in nature committed toward Fred Nance Jr.
I, Fred Nance Jr., filed the complaints below on or about May 23, 2005 with your Inspector General’s office. I was assigned an officer from the Internal Affairs Division. I have not received any correspondence from the assigned officer. I have left telephone messages. I have visited the Internal Affairs office and left messages, yet no one has contacted me with any results from their “internal” investigation.
I have informed your Internal Affairs office about continued harassment from other Sheriff’s Deputies in Court Services at the Daley Center. These deputies are assigned to Judges in the Probate Division on the 18th Floor. Most recently, I was harassed and intimidated on November 2, 2005.
If you read my writing “Chicago’s Daley Center Judicial Processes and Prejudices: President Bush’s Choice is the Solution for the Daley Center”, which is posted on my website at http://clickforjusticeandequality.blogspot.com/, it will give an understanding of what is going on in the courtroom, as I perceive it. What complicates my litigation processes as a “pro se” litigant is your deputies assigned to Court Services harassing and intimidating me while I am trying to survive this onslaught from Judge Riley and his cohorts.
On June 13, 2005 I wrote a letter to the Judicial Inquiry Board stating, in part, Judge McGury has allowed the courtroom staff, that is, Cook County Deputy Sheriffs’ and clerks, to degrade and humiliate Nance in open court (attached Sheriff’s complaint).
On July 18, 2005 I wrote a letter to the Honorable Chief Judge Timothy Evans stating, in part, On July 15, 2005, I presented a motion for recusal of a judge, which was heard by Judge James Riley. Judge Riley refused to recuse himself and refused to allow evidence presented for his recusal (letter dated January 12, 2001 to the Honorable Judge Henry Budzinski) to the record issuing an order to SOJ the case for a hearing to Presiding Judge Budzinski.
Judge Riley also allowed his courtroom staff, that is, Cook County Sheriff’s deputies to harass and intimidate me, such as surrounding me in the courtroom during the litigation process with no probable cause or provocation from me.
I requested of Cook County Deputy Sgt. Vogwill the names of the deputies that were present in the courtroom. Sgt. Vogwill refused to give their names stating I should ask the deputies for their names. I asked the Cook County Sheriff deputies for their names. The Cook County Sheriff’s deputies were Sgt. Vogwill (white female), Officers Keblis (white male), Covington (black female), and Olano (white/Hispanic male). When I asked deputy Olano for his name, he aggressively and with an intimidating gesture requested my name stating he had to make out a report for me asking him for his name. Sgt. Vogwill acknowledged and affirmed that deputy Olano had to file a report because I asked for his name. I would like a copy of this report.
On November 2, 2005, I was sitting outside Judge James Riley’s courtroom while he was conducting a trial. There were no Sheriff’s Deputies in the courtroom. As questioning was taking place a Sheriff’s Deputy came from room 1813 (I believe it was 1813; it is a records room) walking toward me putting on his tie and stood outside the courtroom of Judge Riley. He was approached by a female Sheriff’s Deputy and a male Sheriff’s Deputy. These two Sheriff’s Deputies have been part of my past reports to Internal Affairs. The Sheriff’s Deputy who was standing outside of Judge Riley’s courtroom told the other Deputies that he was called to be in Judge Riley courtroom because of an emergency. The two deputies grabbed the deputy by the arm and escorted him down the hallway where the three of them continued to talk.
When the Sheriff’s deputy came back and stood by Judge Riley’s courtroom I asked him “they posted you here for an emergency, huh? What is the emergency?” The officer ignored me. When the trial was over I entered the courtroom. The Sheriff’s Deputy entered the courtroom. Judge Riley called my case. I approached the bench and stood to the right of the bench. The Sheriff’s Deputy approached the bench and stood to the right of me. This was inappropriate and aggressive. I was not an inmate and I was not a threat to the courtroom procedure. After I articulated my issues and Judge Riley denied my motion, I left the courtroom. As I went out the door there were two more Sheriff’s deputies standing on the wall looking into Judge Riley’s courtroom. They looked away from me as I walked by them.
It may appear to you as happenstance (as other authorities from your office have deemed it), but I assure you your Sheriff’s Deputies were placed there to harass and intimidate me. Sir, they accomplished there mission. As I have illustrated in the letter below and additional statements made to Internal Affairs, when your deputies are surrounding, treating me like a criminal, stalking me, I am nervous and contentious when proceeding in front of the Judge wondering if your deputies will create something to constitute an arrest.
A “pro se” person or any person litigating or otherwise should not be treated in this manner. Your deputies are egregious and nefarious. My complaints are swept under the rug by your office and your Internal Affairs office. How can entity investigate itself? It is impossible because of the relationships and nepotism. Your officers know nothing will happen to them. Being a mental health professional I understand unaddressed negative behavior repeats itself. If your office does not address this type of targeting and oppression, tyranny will surely reign. Of course your officers will have an excuse, which will be covered up by the Judges because of the complaints I have published and posted about the Judges on my websites. Nevertheless, the public will be concerned about what actions your office takes. Sir, you know what your deputies are capable of and the reports have made are not isolated incidents.
There is no excuse that your Internal Affairs office can use to justify why they have not had a personal interview with me and why they have taken no action. It has been 5 months since I filed my complaint. This is egregious, outrageous and ludicrous. Sir, what is your response?

Subject: Re: [Covenant_in_Action] Re: The Imus remarkHi Danielle,
I just wanted to take a moment to respond to you specifically. You are right about some of our homes and all of that. However, we must be careful to not fall into the trap of blaming the victim (ourselves) or falling victim to a mentality that is inferior for us. We are the descendants of Warrior Women Candace, of ancient Africa, Sojourner Truth, and more recent Marian Wright Edelman.
Our victory is in the fact that we always find a way out of no way and as for Europeans like Imus.
I believe all of their remarks stem from their need to debase us to make themselves look better. The categorizing of us with racial designations began with Linnaeus in 1753. The German praised for the system of taxonomy (the scientific naming) process. His process also included naming Africans as less than humans and do not forget the Constitution.
Civilization writing, science, math began with us and since Euros have traditionally been the pillagers they must justify their madness.
We need to start thinking like the majority people of the world which we are

Danielle Blanks <dblanks@luc.edu> wrote:Okay, I just have a couple of comments and after this, I promise I will put this whole Imus thing to rest because I think he has gotten way too much publicity anyway. My thing is this:
The problem begins with us-
1.) In some of our homes that are broken by poverty a lack of values, kids grow up with an ethic that allows them to create derrogatory music in the first place. This culture then influences everybody- it's highly visible and powerful
2.) A lot of us young women use speech in which we refer to each other as b's and h's
3.) We tend to have an overall lack of respect for ourselves, which is evident in the way we treat each other
4.) People value money over everything else in our society. The ability to make lots of it- no matter the personal cost- is always the goal
Now, since we know the problem begins with us and begins at home, is it just me or does anybody else think that we ought to begin to tackle the problem with ourselves instead of boycotting all the white people in the world who attempt to disrespect us at the green light of our own artists. I mean, it's cool to talk about Imus and the rest of them. But, at the end of the day, what can we actually DO to initiate the change within our own behavior, language, and communities? Some women are walking around here scantily clad and the men are calling them bad names because of this in a verty public way. There is no respect, no regard for anybody but self. This is then reflected in the music.
Should we hold the radio stations accountable at a local level for playing this sort of music? Should we hold BET and MTV accountable for playing the videos? Moreover, how do we reach the actual artists who create such music? In a world where nobody respects anybody anymore, how do you get them to listen? Who could talk to them? I know they are all rich and famous and whatnot, but, this is just a thought. If we could somehow reach the artists who have the power of influence, we could begin to change the culture. I know that's almost impossible, but, just out of curiosity, does anybody have any suggestions as to how we could reach them if at all?

In response to the issue at hand, I want to begin by putting race to
the side for a moment. It is disrepectful for a man to refer to a
woman as a ho, plain and simple. If your job is that of a radio
host, you should be aware that every comment you make must have some
thought behind it. You are a public figure and cannot say whatever
you want to say just because you felt like saying it. I heard
someone trying to defend Imus by saying he makes disrespectful
comments towards people of all ethnic backgrounds. Does this make it
right? Not at all. The sad part about this is that the majority of
people are focusing on the "nappy head" part and completely ignoring
the "ho". This has turned into a race issue. While it was a racist
statement, it was also a sexist statement. I have yet to see a major
women's group speak out about the sexism involved in the comment.
Its all about race. While we as people need to work on the racial
divide of this nation, we not forget about the sexist society we live
in. As long as women are treated as lesser people, all oppressed
will remain oppressed.
Now, lets talk about these rappers. Trust me, no one in the music
industry really cares. No rapper is sitting at home thinking "I need
to stop calling women hoese." You know why, because they are getting
paid millions of dollars to make it cool to call women hoes. Since
Kramer lost his mind and said nigger 100 times, no major rapper has
decided it was time to eliminate that word from their vocaulary, and
they won't stop saying ho because Don Imus used it. I wouldn't be
surprised if someone came out with a song called 'Nappy Headed Ho' in
the next few weeks. Music won't stop. Black people won't stop. Not
because of Don Imus. I think it is possible, but I would be
surprised if anyone is talking about this issue on May 1.

Government Corruption - Philip Cline Resigns & Judicial Terrorism Continues
Update: April 8, 2007
Happy Easter
Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago has suggested he may look outside Illinois for the next Superintendent of Police. This is a good idea since the Chicago police force is so racially motivated to violate the individual rights of "black" constituents.
April 1, 2007
Chicago Police Superintendent Philip Cline resigned today. He has informed Mayor Daley he would stay until he is replaced. His resignation is needed. The Chicago Police are a bunch of pistol-carrying criminals. I have been writing and complaining about Chicago Police District 8 to Mr. Cline. Mr. Cline has never responded. The Chicago Police Department reflects its management. Its management is corrupt.
The Judicial system in Illinois is just as corrupt. I received a decision from the Appellate Court of Illinois, First Judicial District that is typical an entity protecting their own. I complained about judges and attorneys behavior and conduct in the courtroom. There is no justice for the citizens of Chicago or Illinois, in or out of court. The Judges have gone mad. The appellate judges protect corrupt attorneys and other judges. Educational institutions like Chicago's Loyola University Law School systemically produces some of this corruption. There is no monitoring system in place for most of these schools.
I have another issue, which goes back to slavery days. Why is it that white people believe black people do not know how to live. The majority of Guardian ad litem's working at the Daley Center in Chicago, in the courtrooms, are white. These attorneys believe black families do not know how they should live. The paradigm is, "if you do not live like we do, your living should be non-existent.
I will write more about these issues later.

Government - Chicago, Illinois' Mayor Daley and Superintendent Philip Cline: Chicago Police Department 8th District Response To My Allegations
Update: February 7, 2007
There has been no response from the Chicago Police Department's 8th District. This is what happens when an entity governs and investigates itself.
Update: December 31, 2006
There has been no response from Chicago's Mayor Daley, Superintendent Cline, or the Chicago Police's 8th District. Corruption continues in the Chicago Police Department and in Mayor Daley's regime.
Update: August 22, 2006
On August 22, 2006 I met with Lt. Piscitelli of the 8th District. We discussed my letter dated February 18, 2006. She asked me if I still wanted to pursue my allegations. I informed her I filed a complaint with Office of Professional Standards (OPS) who forwarded my complaint to the Internal Investigations Department (IAD). Lt. Piscitelli informed me IAD forwarded my complaint to her for investigation. I really have a problem with an entity investigating itself. If this is the way IAD works, we know why our investigations never conclude anyone having violated anything.
I informed Lt. Piscitelli I wanted to pursue my allegations. Lt. Piscitelli had me sign a sworn affidavit. I was not given an oath. When presenting the affidavit signing to me, Lt. Piscitelli stated something to me which I thought to be intimidating and threatening because I was pursuing this matter. Lt. Piscitelli said something like if my statements are found to be untrue I could be prosecuted. I have signed many affidavits under Section 1-109 of the Illinois Code of Civil Procedure. Why state to me I could be prosecuted for my affidavit. Do they know what the affidavit stands for? I informed Lt. Piscitelli my affidavit affirms that my complaint is true and correct according my best recollection of events. I also informed her some of the statements in my writing were given to me from my brother Eddie, which makes those statements a 3rd party report.
This is absurd. I did not have to go to 8th District to sign an affidavit, as originally stated by Lt. Piscitelli. I could have faxed in a notarized affidavit as I have done before in a court of law.
I asked Lt. Piscitelli about my letter dated July 23, 2006. Lt. Piscitelli informed me she was not investigating that matter. I guess it will take another six (6) months before an investigation takes place. This must be the normal procedure for the OPS and IAD. No wonder nothing gets solved. It apparently gets pushed under the carpet.
Update: August 21, 2006
Lt. Piscitelli of the 8th District, Chicago Police Department, called me this morning about the issues below, reporting she was given the assignment to investigate. Lt. Piscitelli stated I needed to come to the 8th District to sign a affidavit. I informed Lt. Piscitelli I would come in on August 22, 2006 at 11:30 am to meet with her.
Update: August 16, 2006

Update: July 29, 2006
No one has responded. It appears Mayor Daley and Superintendent Cline are still operating as alleged in cases involving police brutality. Senator Meeks needs to pick up on who is really responsible for the police brutality reported against CPD.
Update: July 27, 2006
The 8th District of the Chicago Police Department has not requested information from me on the incident I reported as a witness. This 8th District arrested 2 individuals in this matter. How can CPD arrest and charge an individual without gathering all the information available? Mayor Daley, Superintendent Cline, nor Commander James have responded to this letter. If I was Senator James Meeks maybe they might respond.

On July 22, 2006 at approximately 8:45 pm when I was leaving Midway Airport, I personally witnessed an assault and battery at approximately 5480 South Cicero Avenue. I called 911 reporting this incident.
As I was driving south on Cicero avenue, approaching the 55th street light I witnessed two black men standing in the middle of the streets talking to a white man. It appeared there was an automobile accident between the two black men and the white man. When I stopped for the light I noticed the two black men walking upon the white man. I spoke from my car window informing all of them I was calling 911. I also informed the two black men to stop walking upon the white man because if they hit him, they were going to jail. I informed them I would tell the police they hit the white man.
The two men stopped walking upon the white man. The white man then walked upon one of the black men and hit him in the face. The white man hit the black man first. I did not see the black men hit the white man. The white man then started running north on Cicero and the black men chased him.
As this was going on, I was on the phone with 911 telling them the story as it unfolded. A Chicago Police car was approaching the scene. I informed 911 there was a police car approaching and I will tell them what is happening. Another motorist (white) and I (black) started telling the police our story and pointing to where the men involved in the altercation were running. The other white motorist left the scene. He also called 911 reporting this incident. I stayed on the scene.
I approached the police officers after they had caught up with the individuals involved in this incident. I spoke to Officer Carey, who reported she worked out of the 8th District. I gave her my business card, informing her I was a witness to the altercation/assault and battery.
Officer Carey (white) told me I did not have to be a witness. Officer Carey told me I did not have to be on the scene of this incident. I informed Officer Carey I had a right to be here because I witnessed the incident. Officer Carey did not suggest, as she should have, I go to the 8th District to give my account of the incident as a witness. Instead, she attempted to get rid of me.
I asked Officer Carey for the phone number to the 8th District. Officer Carey informed me she did not know the phone number to the 8th District police station because it was a new location at 63rd and Homan. I retrieved the phone number and address on the Internet. I left the scene so as to not escalate the issues between Officer Carey and myself. I called 911 again speaking to Ms. Hoskins, reporting what transpired between Officer Carey and me and giving further information on the incident.
Officer Carey and her partner were driving a police squad car with license plate number M154038. The black men were driving a car with license plate number 6348754. The white guy was driving a SUV/car with license plate number 9153639.
Therefore, I am writing this letter because I am a witness to the incident, which took place at 55th and Cicero on July 22, 2006 at approximately 8:45 pm. I request this information entered as evidence in this matter. I request an interview by the investigators in this matter, in a neutral location such as 35th and Michigan. I also request this letter used as a written statement of the event which occurred on July 22, 2006 at 55th and Cicero. I additionally request an investigation into the actions of Officer Carey and her partner.
I have a problem with the way the Chicago Police Department, 8th District, handled this matter of my being a witness and the way the arresting officers handled the incident. Officer Carey and her partner handcuffed one of the black men and the white man. Officer Carey and her partner put the “black” man in their police car handcuffed. Officer Carey and her partner let the “white” man stand outside their car handcuffed. Why did these officers believe they should put the “black” man handcuffed in their squad car but let the “white” man stand outside their car handcuffed? How did they make a decision to put the “black” man in the car? Why didn’t they put the “white” man in their squad car? It appears racism is still running rampant in the Chicago Police Department.
Officer Carey and her partner can report they were waiting on an additional unit to come to the scene. But this would not wash out. When I approached the scene where Officer Carey and her partner had the individuals, there was another police car on the scene. Officer Carey and her partner informed their colleagues they had the matter under control. The other police officers left the scene.
I will post this on my website at: http://clickforjusticeandequality.blogspot.com/. This letter will be faxed to Commander Carroll James at 312-747-8545, along with a hard copy mailed. This is an assault and battery issue perpetrated by the white man involved in this matter. I have posted other issues on my website about the 8th District, along with making Superintendent Phillip Cline aware of that situation. I also alerted Mayor Daley.

Re: Unlawful Visitation Interference-Chapter 720 ILCS 5/10-5.5
Mr. Devine:
On or about February 22, 2006 you sent me a letter stating you had forwarded my letter dated February 18, 2006 to Ms. Mary Donoghue, Supervisor of his IV-D Child Support Enforcement Division. On March 3, 2006 I called twice leaving a message for Ms. Donoghue to call me with her analysis on this investigation. Ms. Donoghue has not returned my calls. I left the message with Ms. Venus, twice.
On March 3, 2006 Ms. Donoghue returned my call at approximately 11:10 am. She informed me she could not pursue this matter because she did know where Ms. Lena Bennett lived. I informed Ms. Donoghue I received a letter from Mr. Barry Maram, Director of the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, which was written and signed by Ms. Pamela Compton, Administrator, stating the information my brother needs for his visitation is protected by state and federal laws, which is the address of Lena Bennett.
I informed Ms. Donoghue she could get the information of Lena Bennett’s whereabouts from the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services. Ms. Donoghue informed me the State’s Attorney had an office at the Chicago Police Department’s 1st District, which she could give me the phone number so I can call them with the information I was giving her.
I requested she pass the information she wants to give me to that person like you passed my letter of February 18, 2006 to her. I informed Ms. Donoghue I was driving while talking to her, and that I could not write the number down she wanted to give me. Ms. Donoghue continued to talk about giving me the number. I informed Ms. Donoghue I would write this letter, post it on my website, and suggest to the public my brother should stop paying child support in order to get back into court to know where his child is located because it appears your office will not assist us.
I informed Ms. Donoghue the Illinois and Cook County system of justice should be able to work and contact each other to resolve this issue. Instead the system wants the layman or general public to call around town talking to the different entities and hire a lawyer. We the public would hope one of you would act as we believed you would when we went to the voting polls.
Sir, Ms. Donoghue spoke many times of the criminal statute, which is stated above. I requested of her, as I request of you, please act on the statute.

Update: March 3, 2006
Chicago Police Superintendent Philip Cline has not responded to the letter below. It may be he feels he does not have to respond to citizens of Illinois affected by his officer's misconduct. This non-response is an example of how his officers respond to complaints. The Chicago Police Department's unusual behavior and character mirrors its upper management style.
Illinois Cook County States Attorney Richard Devine sent me a letter dated February 22, 2006 stating he had forwarded my the letter below to Ms. Mary Donoghue, Supervisor of his IV-D Child Support Enforcement Division. On March 3, 2006 I called twice leaving a message for Ms. Donoghue to call me with her analysis on this investigation. Ms. Donoghue has not returned my calls. I left the message with Ms. Venus.
Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services denies responsibility!!!
I received a letter from Mr. Barry Maram, Director of the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, which was written and signed by Ms. Pamela Compton, Administrator, stating the information my brother needs for his visitation is protected by state and federal laws. In essence, my brother cannot know where his child support money is going or where he is supposed to pick his child up for court ordered visitation. It seems my brother may have to stop paying child support in order to get back into court to know where his child is located. Apparently, Governor Blagojevich's people do not care if a parent visits with their children. Posted in the comments below is the written letter I received.
Update: February 23, 2006
Illinois Cook County State's Attorney Richard Devine takes responsibility!!!
I received a letter today, February 23, 2006, from Mr. Richard Devine.
Mr. Devine states, "I am in receipt of your letter of February 18, 2006, which was faxed to our office. I am forwarding your letter to Mary Donoghue, Supervisor of our IV-D Child Support Enforcement Division, for her review." Signed Richard A. Devine
I have not heard anything from Superintendent Philip Cline or Mr. Barry Maram, Director of the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services. May be they feel they do not have to respond to a public interest issue. Mr. Cline's office violated my brother's rights.

Re: Edward Nance’s Visitation Order
I, Fred Nance Jr., am writing this letter on behalf of my brother, Edward Nance. On February 18, 2006 at approximately 9:00 am, my brother called the 8th District police station requesting an escort to 2877 West 84th place for court ordered visitation of his son, Jabaree Bennett. My brother reports he was instructed to go over to the house and call 911. My brother went to the house and called 911. Officer Raphael Boja of the 8th District came to the scene.
My brother and Officer Boja were told by the person answering the door Ms. Lena Bennett and his son did not live there. My brother reports the person answering the door was very hostile to Officer Boja cursing him out. As my brother was leaving the scene he requested a police report from Officer Boja. Officer Boja instructed my brother to go to the police station to get his police report.
My brother arrived at the 8th District police station requesting a police report. He was told he could not get police report because his visitation court order did not have an embossed stamp from the court attached to it. My brother called me, Fred L Nance Jr. I informed my brother I would accompany him if he decided to go back to the police station to get his police report.
My brother and I arrived at the 8th District police station at 3:15 pm. When asking Officer Buehler for a police report and explaining the issues, Officer Buehler informed my brother he could not get a police report because his court ordered visitation was a civil matter. We asked to speak to the Commander. Officer Buehler informed us we have to speak to Sgt. Flisk.
Sgt. Flisk approached me and my brother at approximately 3:55 pm. Sgt. Flisk looked at me and my brother stand there waiting to see him for over 30 minutes. I, Fred L Nance Jr., informed Sgt. Flisk I was not an attorney. I informed Sgt. Flisk I was with my brother for support.
My brother presented to Sgt. Flisk his agreed court order for visitation between Lena Bennett (the mother) and himself, previous police reports filed regarding denial of visitation, and a letter from Mr. Durman Z. Jackson, Deputy Supervisor of Child Support Enforcement Division of the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office dated January 30, 2006 addressed to Fred L Nance Jr. My brother explained to Sgt. Flisk some of the previous police reports were given because Ms. Bennett, her spouse, and others who live in the house attacked him when he went for his court ordered visitation. My brother and I informed Sgt. Flisk also of the current events mentioned above requesting a police report. Mr. Flisk read Mr. Jackson’s letter. Mr. Jackson’s letter states, in part, “…if it can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that a custodial parent: “…detains or conceals a child with the intent to deprive another person of his…rights to visitation…” then the custodial parent could be charged with the criminal offense of Unlawful Visitation Interference [Chapter 720 ILCS 5/10-5.5]. Your brother would have to contact the police to pursue this misdemeanor charge.”
Sgt. Flisk began legislating from the police station. Sgt. Flisk informed my brother he could not have a police report because he did not know who came to the door; he did not see the child in the window waving to him as if he was being kept from him; and the person who has custody did not come to door and deny him visitation. My brother requested a police escort from Sgt. Flisk to 2877 West 84th place for his court ordered visitation.
Sgt. Flisk informed my brother they give escorts to the President and the Queen of England. Sgt. Flisk informed my brother they are not going to give him a police escort to obtain his court ordered visitation. I asked Sgt. Flisk for the fax number to the 8th District police station and the Commander’s name. I informed Sgt. Flisk I wanted the fax number so I could fax my complaint letter to the Commander. Sgt. Flisk gave me Lt. Earnest as the Commander. Sgt. Flisk refused to give me the fax number to the 8th District police station.
At 5:15 pm I called the 8th District requesting to speak to Commander Lt. Earnest. Officer Hayes answered the phone. I requested to speak to Commander Earnest. Officer Hayes informed me I had to go through the chain of command. I asked her who I would have to talk to before I could speak to the Commander. Officer Hayes informed me I would have to speak to Sgt. Flisk. I informed Officer Hayes I had spoken to Sgt. Flisk while I was at the police station, and therefore, I should be able to speak to the Commander. Officer Hayes stated I would have to speak to Sgt. Flisk.
Sgt. Flisk came to the phone at about 5:30 pm. I gave Sgt. Flisk my name and reminded him my brother and I had just spoken to him. He informed me Lt. Earnest was busy and could not speak to me. I asked Sgt. Flisk if he was refusing to let me talk to his Commander. Sgt. Flisk informed me he could not talk to me anymore. I informed Sgt. Flisk I was writing this letter to Superintendent Cline and posting it on my website. Sgt. Flisk told me to do whatever I wanted to do and then he hung up on me.
Mr. Cline, is this way you run your office? When I went to the City of Chicago’s website attempting to gather the numbers I needed for the 8th District, I discovered the Commander of the 8th District is James Carroll. Mr. Cline, do your officers usually give the public false information? Sgt. Flisk was very demeaning and abrasive to my brother and me.
My brother called 911. He has a right to a police or incident report. Sgt. Flisk told my brother a police report was not going to help him in his civil matter. My brother stated to Sgt. Flisk, as he displayed his previous police reports again, if he did not have a police report from the 8th District about the issues presented today, February 18, 2006, the incident never happened as far as the court is concerned. Sgt. Flisk just looked at my brother.
Mr. Richard Devine: Who enforces court orders? It is my belief court orders are enforced by the courts and the police. What role does the Illinois Cook County State’s Attorney’s office play in this matter of a violation of court ordered visitation? My brother does not have a police report stating what was said to Officer Boja, but it is reported the person answering the door stated Lena Bennett and her son do not live at 2877 West 84th place. Sir, the court ordered visitation directs my brother to pick up and drop off his son at 2877 West 84th place, Chicago, Illinois, 60652.
Mr. Barry Maram: My brother informed me he pays child support, which comes out of his paycheck. My brother also informs me, to best of his knowledge, the child support payments are going to 2877 West 84th place, Chicago, Illinois, 60652. Sir, if this is true, who is cashing the checks you send if Ms. Lena Bennett does not live at this address?
There is something wrong with this picture. With the assistance of the 8th District, the Chicago Police Department is deliberately creating barriers for the proof needed for Lena Bennett’s violation of court ordered visitation. The Chicago Police Department is treating the public with intentional nefarious acts deliberately giving false information to avoid a complaint to a superior of conduct unbecoming a police officer, and for not providing a duty. If the Chicago Police Department promotes character and behavior such as demonstrated by Sgt. Flisk (white male), then the black male (my brother) does not have a chance to exercise the freedoms given in the Constitution. Sgt. Flisk is guilty of denying my brother access to your Commander, or is your Commander inaccessible for reporting unscrupulous and dishonest behavior?
Mr. Devine’s office has acted very professional and responsible in this matter. Mr. Jackson provided me with a letter dated January 30, 2006, that I provided my brother with to seek his court ordered visitation. Mr. Jackson responded to a letter I wrote and faxed to him on January 30, 2006. This correspondence addresses my brother’s visitation. I will post my letter and Mr. Jackson’s letter in the comment section of the posting of this letter.
Mr. Devine, my brother and I would appreciate your office bringing this case back into court to assess if Ms. Lena Bennett is violating the court ordered visitation. As you can assume, my brother cannot get any relief for enforcement from the Chicago Police Department. My brother has not seen his child in 3 or 4 years. My brother’s court ordered visitation was signed by the Honorable Judge Melvin J. Cole on November 17, 1998. It was signed and agreed to by both Lena Bennett and my brother, Edward Nance.
My brother has expressed to me how the court system has intimidated and oppressed him in seeking his visitation to the point my brother just threw up his hands about seeing his son. This is not good. The court system is not created to oppress and intimidate. The court system should seek the Rule of Law. The court system should seek equal protection under the law.
Mr. Maram, my brother and I are requesting the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services respond appropriately seeking to know who is cashing the child support checks if they are addressed to a person who no longer lives at 2877 West 84th place.
Mr. Cline, please respond alerting me and the public on how your department enforces court orders. Please inform the public and myself on why a police report is not written on a 911 call. Please inform me why my brother and I could not get an incident report on the 911 call.
I will publish and post this letter on my website, as I promised a belligerent and disrespectful Sgt. Flisk. I will publish and post on my website’s comment section for this letter, parts of the agreed order for visitation, my letter dated January 30, and Mr. Jackson’s response to my letter of January 30, 2006.
Mr. Devine, Mr. Jackson reports in his response letter of January 30, 2006, in part, “…Unfortunately, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office cannot provide any assistance to your brother regarding the civil enforcement of a visitation order.” I believe your office can prosecute Chapter 720 ILCS 5/10-5.5. I believe Mr. Cline’s office would have to participate in order for it to get to your office. With this belief, Sgt. Flisk obstructed this justice.
A very big question for the public is who enforces civil visitation orders? The “civil” visitation order was mediated and recommended by Yvette Zells. What office does she work for? Is Ms. Zells the enforcer of the visitation order? What is a parent who has joint custody do?
My brother wishes to have his court order re-constructed in the following manner: Ms. Lena Bennett would have the child for 6 months and he would have the child for 6 months.

There has been no response from the Chicago Police Department's 8th District. This is what happens when an entity governs and investigates itself.
Update: December 31, 2006
There has been no response from Chicago's Mayor Daley, Superintendent Cline, or the Chicago Police's 8th District. Corruption continues in the Chicago Police Department and in Mayor Daley's regime.
Update: August 22, 2006
On August 22, 2006 I met with Lt. Piscitelli of the 8th District. We discussed my letter dated February 18, 2006. She asked me if I still wanted to pursue my allegations. I informed her I filed a complaint with Office of Professional Standards (OPS) who forwarded my complaint to the Internal Investigations Department (IAD). Lt. Piscitelli informed me IAD forwarded my complaint to her for investigation. I really have a problem with an entity investigating itself. If this is the way IAD works, we know why our investigations never conclude anyone having violated anything.
I informed Lt. Piscitelli I wanted to pursue my allegations. Lt. Piscitelli had me sign a sworn affidavit. I was not given an oath. When presenting the affidavit signing to me, Lt. Piscitelli stated something to me which I thought to be intimidating and threatening because I was pursuing this matter. Lt. Piscitelli said something like if my statements are found to be untrue I could be prosecuted. I have signed many affidavits under Section 1-109 of the Illinois Code of Civil Procedure. Why state to me I could be prosecuted for my affidavit. Do they know what the affidavit stands for? I informed Lt. Piscitelli my affidavit affirms that my complaint is true and correct according my best recollection of events. I also informed her some of the statements in my writing were given to me from my brother Eddie, which makes those statements a 3rd party report.
This is absurd. I did not have to go to 8th District to sign an affidavit, as originally stated by Lt. Piscitelli. I could have faxed in a notarized affidavit as I have done before in a court of law.
I asked Lt. Piscitelli about my letter dated July 23, 2006. Lt. Piscitelli informed me she was not investigating that matter. I guess it will take another six (6) months before an investigation takes place. This must be the normal procedure for the OPS and IAD. No wonder nothing gets solved. It apparently gets pushed under the carpet.
Update: August 21, 2006
Lt. Piscitelli of the 8th District, Chicago Police Department, called me this morning about the issues below, reporting she was given the assignment to investigate. Lt. Piscitelli stated I needed to come to the 8th District to sign a affidavit. I informed Lt. Piscitelli I would come in on August 22, 2006 at 11:30 am to meet with her.
Update: August 16, 2006

Update: July 29, 2006
No one has responded. It appears Mayor Daley and Superintendent Cline are still operating as alleged in cases involving police brutality. Senator Meeks needs to pick up on who is really responsible for the police brutality reported against CPD.
Update: July 27, 2006
The 8th District of the Chicago Police Department has not requested information from me on the incident I reported as a witness. This 8th District arrested 2 individuals in this matter. How can CPD arrest and charge an individual without gathering all the information available? Mayor Daley, Superintendent Cline, nor Commander James have responded to this letter. If I was Senator James Meeks maybe they might respond.

On July 22, 2006 at approximately 8:45 pm when I was leaving Midway Airport, I personally witnessed an assault and battery at approximately 5480 South Cicero Avenue. I called 911 reporting this incident.
As I was driving south on Cicero avenue, approaching the 55th street light I witnessed two black men standing in the middle of the streets talking to a white man. It appeared there was an automobile accident between the two black men and the white man. When I stopped for the light I noticed the two black men walking upon the white man. I spoke from my car window informing all of them I was calling 911. I also informed the two black men to stop walking upon the white man because if they hit him, they were going to jail. I informed them I would tell the police they hit the white man.
The two men stopped walking upon the white man. The white man then walked upon one of the black men and hit him in the face. The white man hit the black man first. I did not see the black men hit the white man. The white man then started running north on Cicero and the black men chased him.
As this was going on, I was on the phone with 911 telling them the story as it unfolded. A Chicago Police car was approaching the scene. I informed 911 there was a police car approaching and I will tell them what is happening. Another motorist (white) and I (black) started telling the police our story and pointing to where the men involved in the altercation were running. The other white motorist left the scene. He also called 911 reporting this incident. I stayed on the scene.
I approached the police officers after they had caught up with the individuals involved in this incident. I spoke to Officer Carey, who reported she worked out of the 8th District. I gave her my business card, informing her I was a witness to the altercation/assault and battery.
Officer Carey (white) told me I did not have to be a witness. Officer Carey told me I did not have to be on the scene of this incident. I informed Officer Carey I had a right to be here because I witnessed the incident. Officer Carey did not suggest, as she should have, I go to the 8th District to give my account of the incident as a witness. Instead, she attempted to get rid of me.
I asked Officer Carey for the phone number to the 8th District. Officer Carey informed me she did not know the phone number to the 8th District police station because it was a new location at 63rd and Homan. I retrieved the phone number and address on the Internet. I left the scene so as to not escalate the issues between Officer Carey and myself. I called 911 again speaking to Ms. Hoskins, reporting what transpired between Officer Carey and me and giving further information on the incident.
Officer Carey and her partner were driving a police squad car with license plate number M154038. The black men were driving a car with license plate number 6348754. The white guy was driving a SUV/car with license plate number 9153639.
Therefore, I am writing this letter because I am a witness to the incident, which took place at 55th and Cicero on July 22, 2006 at approximately 8:45 pm. I request this information entered as evidence in this matter. I request an interview by the investigators in this matter, in a neutral location such as 35th and Michigan. I also request this letter used as a written statement of the event which occurred on July 22, 2006 at 55th and Cicero. I additionally request an investigation into the actions of Officer Carey and her partner.
I have a problem with the way the Chicago Police Department, 8th District, handled this matter of my being a witness and the way the arresting officers handled the incident. Officer Carey and her partner handcuffed one of the black men and the white man. Officer Carey and her partner put the “black” man in their police car handcuffed. Officer Carey and her partner let the “white” man stand outside their car handcuffed. Why did these officers believe they should put the “black” man handcuffed in their squad car but let the “white” man stand outside their car handcuffed? How did they make a decision to put the “black” man in the car? Why didn’t they put the “white” man in their squad car? It appears racism is still running rampant in the Chicago Police Department.
Officer Carey and her partner can report they were waiting on an additional unit to come to the scene. But this would not wash out. When I approached the scene where Officer Carey and her partner had the individuals, there was another police car on the scene. Officer Carey and her partner informed their colleagues they had the matter under control. The other police officers left the scene.
I will post this on my website at: http://clickforjusticeandequality.blogspot.com/. This letter will be faxed to Commander Carroll James at 312-747-8545, along with a hard copy mailed. This is an assault and battery issue perpetrated by the white man involved in this matter. I have posted other issues on my website about the 8th District, along with making Superintendent Phillip Cline aware of that situation. I also alerted Mayor Daley.

On March 3, 2006 Ms. Donoghue returned my call at approximately 11:10 am. She informed me she could not pursue this matter because she did know where Ms. Lena Bennett lived. I informed Ms. Donoghue I received a letter from Mr. Barry Maram, Director of the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, which was written and signed by Ms. Pamela Compton, Administrator, stating the information my brother needs for his visitation is protected by state and federal laws, which is the address of Lena Bennett.
I informed Ms. Donoghue she could get the information of Lena Bennett’s whereabouts from the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services. Ms. Donoghue informed me the State’s Attorney had an office at the Chicago Police Department’s 1st District, which she could give me the phone number so I can call them with the information I was giving her.
I requested she pass the information she wants to give me to that person like you passed my letter of February 18, 2006 to her. I informed Ms. Donoghue I was driving while talking to her, and that I could not write the number down she wanted to give me. Ms. Donoghue continued to talk about giving me the number. I informed Ms. Donoghue I would write this letter, post it on my website, and suggest to the public my brother should stop paying child support in order to get back into court to know where his child is located because it appears your office will not assist us.
I informed Ms. Donoghue the Illinois and Cook County system of justice should be able to work and contact each other to resolve this issue. Instead the system wants the layman or general public to call around town talking to the different entities and hire a lawyer. We the public would hope one of you would act as we believed you would when we went to the voting polls.
Sir, Ms. Donoghue spoke many times of the criminal statute, which is stated above. I requested of her, as I request of you, please act on the statute.

Update: March 3, 2006
Chicago Police Superintendent Philip Cline has not responded to the letter below. It may be he feels he does not have to respond to citizens of Illinois affected by his officer's misconduct. This non-response is an example of how his officers respond to complaints. The Chicago Police Department's unusual behavior and character mirrors its upper management style.
Illinois Cook County States Attorney Richard Devine sent me a letter dated February 22, 2006 stating he had forwarded my the letter below to Ms. Mary Donoghue, Supervisor of his IV-D Child Support Enforcement Division. On March 3, 2006 I called twice leaving a message for Ms. Donoghue to call me with her analysis on this investigation. Ms. Donoghue has not returned my calls. I left the message with Ms. Venus.
Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services denies responsibility!!!
I received a letter from Mr. Barry Maram, Director of the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, which was written and signed by Ms. Pamela Compton, Administrator, stating the information my brother needs for his visitation is protected by state and federal laws. In essence, my brother cannot know where his child support money is going or where he is supposed to pick his child up for court ordered visitation. It seems my brother may have to stop paying child support in order to get back into court to know where his child is located. Apparently, Governor Blagojevich's people do not care if a parent visits with their children. Posted in the comments below is the written letter I received.
Update: February 23, 2006
Illinois Cook County State's Attorney Richard Devine takes responsibility!!!
I received a letter today, February 23, 2006, from Mr. Richard Devine.
Mr. Devine states, "I am in receipt of your letter of February 18, 2006, which was faxed to our office. I am forwarding your letter to Mary Donoghue, Supervisor of our IV-D Child Support Enforcement Division, for her review." Signed Richard A. Devine
I have not heard anything from Superintendent Philip Cline or Mr. Barry Maram, Director of the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services. May be they feel they do not have to respond to a public interest issue. Mr. Cline's office violated my brother's rights.

Re: Edward Nance’s Visitation Order
I, Fred Nance Jr., am writing this letter on behalf of my brother, Edward Nance. On February 18, 2006 at approximately 9:00 am, my brother called the 8th District police station requesting an escort to 2877 West 84th place for court ordered visitation of his son, Jabaree Bennett. My brother reports he was instructed to go over to the house and call 911. My brother went to the house and called 911. Officer Raphael Boja of the 8th District came to the scene.
My brother and Officer Boja were told by the person answering the door Ms. Lena Bennett and his son did not live there. My brother reports the person answering the door was very hostile to Officer Boja cursing him out. As my brother was leaving the scene he requested a police report from Officer Boja. Officer Boja instructed my brother to go to the police station to get his police report.
My brother arrived at the 8th District police station requesting a police report. He was told he could not get police report because his visitation court order did not have an embossed stamp from the court attached to it. My brother called me, Fred L Nance Jr. I informed my brother I would accompany him if he decided to go back to the police station to get his police report.
My brother and I arrived at the 8th District police station at 3:15 pm. When asking Officer Buehler for a police report and explaining the issues, Officer Buehler informed my brother he could not get a police report because his court ordered visitation was a civil matter. We asked to speak to the Commander. Officer Buehler informed us we have to speak to Sgt. Flisk.
Sgt. Flisk approached me and my brother at approximately 3:55 pm. Sgt. Flisk looked at me and my brother stand there waiting to see him for over 30 minutes. I, Fred L Nance Jr., informed Sgt. Flisk I was not an attorney. I informed Sgt. Flisk I was with my brother for support.
My brother presented to Sgt. Flisk his agreed court order for visitation between Lena Bennett (the mother) and himself, previous police reports filed regarding denial of visitation, and a letter from Mr. Durman Z. Jackson, Deputy Supervisor of Child Support Enforcement Division of the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office dated January 30, 2006 addressed to Fred L Nance Jr. My brother explained to Sgt. Flisk some of the previous police reports were given because Ms. Bennett, her spouse, and others who live in the house attacked him when he went for his court ordered visitation. My brother and I informed Sgt. Flisk also of the current events mentioned above requesting a police report. Mr. Flisk read Mr. Jackson’s letter. Mr. Jackson’s letter states, in part, “…if it can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that a custodial parent: “…detains or conceals a child with the intent to deprive another person of his…rights to visitation…” then the custodial parent could be charged with the criminal offense of Unlawful Visitation Interference [Chapter 720 ILCS 5/10-5.5]. Your brother would have to contact the police to pursue this misdemeanor charge.”
Sgt. Flisk began legislating from the police station. Sgt. Flisk informed my brother he could not have a police report because he did not know who came to the door; he did not see the child in the window waving to him as if he was being kept from him; and the person who has custody did not come to door and deny him visitation. My brother requested a police escort from Sgt. Flisk to 2877 West 84th place for his court ordered visitation.
Sgt. Flisk informed my brother they give escorts to the President and the Queen of England. Sgt. Flisk informed my brother they are not going to give him a police escort to obtain his court ordered visitation. I asked Sgt. Flisk for the fax number to the 8th District police station and the Commander’s name. I informed Sgt. Flisk I wanted the fax number so I could fax my complaint letter to the Commander. Sgt. Flisk gave me Lt. Earnest as the Commander. Sgt. Flisk refused to give me the fax number to the 8th District police station.
At 5:15 pm I called the 8th District requesting to speak to Commander Lt. Earnest. Officer Hayes answered the phone. I requested to speak to Commander Earnest. Officer Hayes informed me I had to go through the chain of command. I asked her who I would have to talk to before I could speak to the Commander. Officer Hayes informed me I would have to speak to Sgt. Flisk. I informed Officer Hayes I had spoken to Sgt. Flisk while I was at the police station, and therefore, I should be able to speak to the Commander. Officer Hayes stated I would have to speak to Sgt. Flisk.
Sgt. Flisk came to the phone at about 5:30 pm. I gave Sgt. Flisk my name and reminded him my brother and I had just spoken to him. He informed me Lt. Earnest was busy and could not speak to me. I asked Sgt. Flisk if he was refusing to let me talk to his Commander. Sgt. Flisk informed me he could not talk to me anymore. I informed Sgt. Flisk I was writing this letter to Superintendent Cline and posting it on my website. Sgt. Flisk told me to do whatever I wanted to do and then he hung up on me.
Mr. Cline, is this way you run your office? When I went to the City of Chicago’s website attempting to gather the numbers I needed for the 8th District, I discovered the Commander of the 8th District is James Carroll. Mr. Cline, do your officers usually give the public false information? Sgt. Flisk was very demeaning and abrasive to my brother and me.
My brother called 911. He has a right to a police or incident report. Sgt. Flisk told my brother a police report was not going to help him in his civil matter. My brother stated to Sgt. Flisk, as he displayed his previous police reports again, if he did not have a police report from the 8th District about the issues presented today, February 18, 2006, the incident never happened as far as the court is concerned. Sgt. Flisk just looked at my brother.
Mr. Richard Devine: Who enforces court orders? It is my belief court orders are enforced by the courts and the police. What role does the Illinois Cook County State’s Attorney’s office play in this matter of a violation of court ordered visitation? My brother does not have a police report stating what was said to Officer Boja, but it is reported the person answering the door stated Lena Bennett and her son do not live at 2877 West 84th place. Sir, the court ordered visitation directs my brother to pick up and drop off his son at 2877 West 84th place, Chicago, Illinois, 60652.
Mr. Barry Maram: My brother informed me he pays child support, which comes out of his paycheck. My brother also informs me, to best of his knowledge, the child support payments are going to 2877 West 84th place, Chicago, Illinois, 60652. Sir, if this is true, who is cashing the checks you send if Ms. Lena Bennett does not live at this address?
There is something wrong with this picture. With the assistance of the 8th District, the Chicago Police Department is deliberately creating barriers for the proof needed for Lena Bennett’s violation of court ordered visitation. The Chicago Police Department is treating the public with intentional nefarious acts deliberately giving false information to avoid a complaint to a superior of conduct unbecoming a police officer, and for not providing a duty. If the Chicago Police Department promotes character and behavior such as demonstrated by Sgt. Flisk (white male), then the black male (my brother) does not have a chance to exercise the freedoms given in the Constitution. Sgt. Flisk is guilty of denying my brother access to your Commander, or is your Commander inaccessible for reporting unscrupulous and dishonest behavior?
Mr. Devine’s office has acted very professional and responsible in this matter. Mr. Jackson provided me with a letter dated January 30, 2006, that I provided my brother with to seek his court ordered visitation. Mr. Jackson responded to a letter I wrote and faxed to him on January 30, 2006. This correspondence addresses my brother’s visitation. I will post my letter and Mr. Jackson’s letter in the comment section of the posting of this letter.
Mr. Devine, my brother and I would appreciate your office bringing this case back into court to assess if Ms. Lena Bennett is violating the court ordered visitation. As you can assume, my brother cannot get any relief for enforcement from the Chicago Police Department. My brother has not seen his child in 3 or 4 years. My brother’s court ordered visitation was signed by the Honorable Judge Melvin J. Cole on November 17, 1998. It was signed and agreed to by both Lena Bennett and my brother, Edward Nance.
My brother has expressed to me how the court system has intimidated and oppressed him in seeking his visitation to the point my brother just threw up his hands about seeing his son. This is not good. The court system is not created to oppress and intimidate. The court system should seek the Rule of Law. The court system should seek equal protection under the law.
Mr. Maram, my brother and I are requesting the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services respond appropriately seeking to know who is cashing the child support checks if they are addressed to a person who no longer lives at 2877 West 84th place.
Mr. Cline, please respond alerting me and the public on how your department enforces court orders. Please inform the public and myself on why a police report is not written on a 911 call. Please inform me why my brother and I could not get an incident report on the 911 call.
I will publish and post this letter on my website, as I promised a belligerent and disrespectful Sgt. Flisk. I will publish and post on my website’s comment section for this letter, parts of the agreed order for visitation, my letter dated January 30, and Mr. Jackson’s response to my letter of January 30, 2006.
Mr. Devine, Mr. Jackson reports in his response letter of January 30, 2006, in part, “…Unfortunately, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office cannot provide any assistance to your brother regarding the civil enforcement of a visitation order.” I believe your office can prosecute Chapter 720 ILCS 5/10-5.5. I believe Mr. Cline’s office would have to participate in order for it to get to your office. With this belief, Sgt. Flisk obstructed this justice.
A very big question for the public is who enforces civil visitation orders? The “civil” visitation order was mediated and recommended by Yvette Zells. What office does she work for? Is Ms. Zells the enforcer of the visitation order? What is a parent who has joint custody do?
My brother wishes to have his court order re-constructed in the following manner: Ms. Lena Bennett would have the child for 6 months and he would have the child for 6 months.
