Dear Attorney Arabasz,                                                                                   October 31, 2012

            RE: Bonetzky-Joseph v Joseph

            Docket No: PL06 D0566-DV1

I am writing to you for a couple reasons regarding the children. 

First, your client, Mr. Marlon Joseph,  and his wife, Mrs. Andrea Joseph  have repeatedly failed to make the children available to receive my call on Wednesdays at 7pm with the phone numbers supplied to me by your office and assured that your client would make the children available for the calls. I have called every week at the allotted time per court order but unfortunately, your client has failed to comply 100% of the time.  There is either no answer, my calls are blocked, or the children are not made available to receive my call.  I have tried my best in my attempts to communicate with my children and made every effort to cooperate with you and the court. I do not know if the children are being denied access to these calls, but I am very frustrated because every time I call every Wednesday, there is no response.

It is very disheartening at the constant and repeated lack of cooperation from your client, the children’s father, Mr. Joseph. I am concerned about the mental health and wellbeing of my children, Kelly, Shannon and Alexandria.   I have no idea what the children are being told by their father or stepmother or what they must feel when they do not hear from me, not by lack of trying on my part. I do not know if my calls are being withheld from them. I do not want my children to think I do not love or care about them and that I do not call them despite my attempts. I need some assurance the children are at least being told I called. I would like to call them to tell them I love them and miss them very much. 

AND now since, Wednesday, October 10^th, your client has blocked my number.   I also attempted to call my daughter on Oct 26^th for her 12^th Birthday with great hopes and expectation.  How disappointing as my daughter, Shannon, must feel I did not care or did not want to call her on her birthday. She must be so disappointed and I have no idea if Shannon or her sister have received my calls or if they are receiving my messages.  

 Your client also refused to let the maternal relatives including the children’s uncle and aunt contact the children despite the fact they came from London to visit and were denied ALL access to the children.

May be you can explain to me when I call at the appropriate time, I am unable to speak to my children 100% of the time. 

Secondly, I am requesting a copy of ALL the tape recordings made by your client during recent conversations with the children. Please provide a certification (signed under the pains and penalties of perjury) that the tape recording produced are all those in your client’s possession and are complete, true and accurate unedited copies of the tape recordings. 

Please send a number where the children will be made available to receive my weekly calls unhampered by your client. That means when I call, I anticipate the children to answer to take my call.

Finally, I am faxing this from my place of employment. Please do NOT correspond with me at my place of employment as you nor your client or anyone associate with you or him do not have permission to do so. Any attempt to do so, will construed as harassment and violation of my rights. 

I anticipate full cooperation from you and your client for the best interests of the children not by words but actions by making the children available for this evenings call at 7pm. 

My children love and miss their mother as they have repeatedly expressed during our conversations despite you and your client’s attempts to tear that mother daughter bond into oblivion.  By me not being to reach my children when I call and knowing my own children, I am concerned these acts may reflect poorly on their emotional development and attachment with me.

I would like your assurance that the children will be made available to speak to me as your previous latter has stated and if for any reason they are not, I would like some assurance from you a common courtesy of a proper notification in advance if the children will not be made available due to extenuating circumstances. Otherwise, I anticipate a prompt ethical reply and full cooperation in the spirit of good intentions and best interests for the children.

Thank you,

Laura Bonetzky-Joseph
