+ | Chameleon was going through a child custody battle during this per(shy)iod. | ||
+ | At the end of the year, on Decem(shy)ber 17, 2008 (not long before to moving her | ||
+ | and her children to Scranton), I drove 9 hours | ||
+ | to sup(shy)port her at a custody hear(shy)ing. The hear(shy)ing | ||
+ | itself took place on Decem(shy)ber 18, 2008. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A month later, on January 22, 2009, Chameleon phoned me and said | ||
+ | that she was stand(shy)ing in a Child Pro(shy)tec(shy)tive Services office. | ||
+ | She explain(shy)ed that she'd been placed in a Pen(shy)nsylvania child | ||
+ | abuse regis(shy)try. | ||
+ | |||
+ | There was a letter on her com(shy)pu(shy)ter, | ||
+ | that she need(shy)ed me to email to her so that she could | ||
+ | pro(shy)vide it to | ||
+ | Child Pro(shy)tec(shy)tive Services. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I did as Chameleon requested. I ended up with a copy of the let(shy)ter | ||
+ | in my Outbox due to her request. I have a copy that contains annotations | ||
+ | that I completed with my editor November 18, 2021 and made available to | ||
+ | the courts discussed here and to law enforcement. This copy has 6 pages | ||
+ | and is available to government agencies and courts upon request. The | ||
+ | page numbers below refer to that copy. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It was a letter I had helped her write. I helped her word how to point | ||
+ | out flaws in the argument of the case worker. I thought I was doing | ||
+ | " | ||
+ | worker' | ||
+ | as I tried to do while helping Chameleon write. I don't believe I need to disclose | ||
+ | all of the identities at this time but I will summarize and respond to parts of the document | ||
+ | here. I also want to apologize here to the case worker for the way I helped Chameleon represent the case | ||
+ | worker in a poor light to her superiors. I now believe I was misguided in how I | ||
+ | handled the facts. The case worker documented at least | ||
+ | the following "risk assessment narrative" | ||
+ | " | ||
+ | The case worker also says that Chameleon never had any | ||
+ | money, food for the children, or proper necessities (page 5). | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | <WRAP round box justify> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Even with my help, it seems clear that the facts in the letter | ||
+ | do not support Chameleon' | ||
+ | case worker' | ||
+ | worker using Chameleon' | ||
+ | "I have been estranged from my mother since I was 16." However, this is | ||
+ | not true. Chameleon' | ||
+ | such as by repeatedly leaving care of the kids with her without notice, even when | ||
+ | Chameleon was present. At times, Chameleon would seem to have long bouts of crying | ||
+ | but not shed any tears. I understand someone can cry until their tear ducts slow down, | ||
+ | but that wasn't the case apparently since there were no tears period. | ||
+ | That had happened only a few months or so prior, not years. | ||
+ | Leah states that her daughter Chameleon is a potential | ||
+ | sociopath who makes up false stories. This part is He Said-She Said and is offered simply for what it’s | ||
+ | worth. | ||
+ | |||
+ | On page 4, Chameleon states that one of her mother' | ||
+ | "That I am involved in prostitution—this is not true; this was a rumor that was proven in court as a | ||
+ | false statement on December 18, 2008 in front of Judge Alexander. My mother has a history of making | ||
+ | slanderous statements about me and my life however has very little to no contact with my children and | ||
+ | myself." | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the contrary, I used to babysit Chameleon’s child(shy)ren on such occasions. | ||
+ | I also attended the Court hearing which Chameleon is referring to | ||
+ | here; I drove 9 hours (plus stops and slowdowns) at Chameleon’s request to do so; | ||
+ | that to the best of my recollection, | ||
+ | " | ||
+ | one point that she was engaging in prostitution. In court I didn't recall her | ||
+ | exact statement, "I thought I could make some extra money," | ||
+ | and true statement among her manic rantings. After writing this book, I sent a message to the Michigan court asking if I can withdraw | ||
+ | my permission that I gave her to use my testimony and asking how I could help them place an addendum on the | ||
+ | court record noting my concerns with what I recalled afterward. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In a sense, Chameleon had been treated unfairly in the prostitution context from a legal perspective. | ||
+ | I went to Court to support Chameleon and to ensure that the process was fair. | ||
+ | |||
+ | What had happened was that I made statements to Leah, Chameleon' | ||
+ | churchgoer who housed Chameleon for a time as charity. Leah or Ron relayed the statements to Ron’s | ||
+ | wife, a woman named Char. | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | <WRAP round box justify> | ||
+ | I told Leah and Ron that Chameleon was " | ||
+ | relayed my remarks to others as statements of fact. They may, additionally, | ||
+ | they had primary knowledge of the prostitution as opposed to the statements of fact actually being | ||
+ | hearsay. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I testified to the effect that Leah and Char had no primary knowledge related to the prostitution | ||
+ | issue and that their statements had been hearsay. | ||
+ | |||
+ | So, one part of the prostitution issue was " | ||
+ | to me earlier in 2008, face to face, that she " | ||
+ | She said, "I thought I could make some extra money" | ||
+ | |||
+ | Chameleon talked about "sugar daddies" | ||
+ | |||
+ | We shared the user of her computer using one username. One day I went to gmail.com | ||
+ | and it was already logged in as her and I saw the e-mails. Then I talked to my roommate and he | ||
+ | revealed the other stuff. | ||
+ | |||
+ | "The other stuff" was that Chameleon was doing pretty much any adult that she was able to get into | ||
+ | bed, male or female, and telling everybody that "Jake is fine with this". In fact, I wasn't fine with this, | ||
+ | but I drove 9 or more hours in December to support Chameleon in Court regardless. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Chameleon may have sent the appeal letter dated January 22, 2009 to Child Protective Services | ||
+ | or printed it from their office. She had me e-mail the document to her when she was out. She stated | ||
+ | that she was on the Central Register (which she called the " | ||
+ | I'm not certain how accessible it is but being on that list would inform legal entities and possibly | ||
+ | even churches, employers, and neighbors that she should probably not have children under her care. | ||
+ | I don't know whether her appeal to be removed from the Central Register | ||
+ | was successful or not. | ||
+ | |||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | <WRAP round box justify> | ||
+ | |||
+ | On page 4 the worker, as summarized by Chameleon, says that Chameleon has "no parenting skills." | ||
+ | Chameleon' | ||
+ | |||
+ | //In contrast, my mother testified in court in July of 2007 in front of | ||
+ | Judge Idee Fox in Philadelphia Family Court that I was a " | ||
+ | compassionate mother" | ||
+ | In addition, I have been taking parenting classes of my own free will including James Dobson’s "Dare to | ||
+ | Discipline" | ||
+ | " | ||
+ | Care Facility and have 10 years experience working in nurseries of the churches I have attended.// | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the contrary, Chameleon never had a job for more than a year the whole time I | ||
+ | knew her (10+ years). In Michigan, after losing a job, she told me, " | ||
+ | I'm good at getting jobs. I'm a good job getter, lol." | ||
+ | |||
+ | Chameleon only attended Church off and on during the 10 years since | ||
+ | I met her, and that was when she started attending church. She would go off into an unsafe | ||
+ | lifestyle for months at a time. I'm not certain she even attended church regularly for more | ||
+ | than a year at a time other than when 1BC Perkasie was paying her way through college. | ||
+ | The cycle became shorter and more damaging to others over the years, | ||
+ | not more stable. The characterization that she | ||
+ | was some kind of model citizen or reliable minister is laughable. Though her stories of redemption | ||
+ | and unreasonably quick dives back into church service seemed exciting and spiritual at the time, they | ||
+ | were ill-advised. However, there wasn't anything really, short of asking her to leave which happened at least once (at 1BC Perkasie), | ||
+ | to slow down her involvement and rise to publicity within any church community she attended. | ||
+ | The Bible advises against having novices in leadership. In addition, others and myself were too quick | ||
+ | to want her return and her charisma to be used for good. When I saw her do the same thing at a high-end bar in Michigan, | ||
+ | I said to myself " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Chameleon went on (or claimed to go on) a missions trip to Peru with Steamtown Church in Scranton | ||
+ | around all the time inappropriate behavior in Scranton occurred. | ||
+ | It is not really that much of a mystery that someone would do public service who isn't altruistic | ||
+ | (acting in the interest of others rather than in self-interest). | ||
+ | Someone could have various reasons for doing so, such as improving self image, public image, or even a free vacation or granted, likely a mixture of the three. | ||
+ | It doesn' | ||
+ | In Michigan when I wouldn' | ||
+ | was acting on principle. For example, acting on principle means acting against one's impulses in order | ||
+ | to benefit a spiritual or social good. I can tell you that she specifically stated that she doesn' | ||
+ | concept. She kept saying, "Why would you do anything you don't want to do?" This was one case where she | ||
+ | quoted counsel she received and either twisted it or had received bad counsel. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Regarding Chameleon' | ||
+ | on her children through her has been positive. However, I've seen her use the counsel she was given, | ||
+ | including mine, as tools to manipulate others not to improve herself. Not understanding the concept | ||
+ | of altruism isn't something that is cured by stopping a dangerous lifestyle to act in a socially | ||
+ | acceptable way. That could easily be in self-interest. She received | ||
+ | money and sometimes free housing for much of the time for at least ten years, from church people not just sexual encounters. Considering she got worse not better | ||
+ | over the years (at least in public effects), I do not recommend that Chameleon have children under her care. | ||
+ | If you have morals you might assume others do but that isn't always true. Some people are eager | ||
+ | to use you and have no qualms about it. Chameleon only seemed to have remorse about the Scranton behavior | ||
+ | after I convinced her I wouldn' | ||
+ | and pointed out to her that she should seem to have remorse but doesn' | ||
+ | The seeming not the doing seems to be what is important to her, and sometimes not even either until | ||
+ | it is pointed out. Trying to appear virtuous without achieving virtue is called virtue signalling. | ||
+ | Because of her tendency to manipulate using morals and psychology, I do not recommend buying her next redemption story or making your | ||
+ | physical or spiritual well-being or that of others depend on it, such as by placing her in a formal or informal church leadership role | ||
+ | or even a confidant or spiritual mentor as many have. | ||
