> > Judge Fred Kieser: a threat to divorced dads and non-custodial parents no more.

NCPForce! told the world over four years ago that Fred Kieser of Middlesex County was a bad judge. In fact, he made it to our Worst Judge's Page for his role in the abuse, harassment, and death of a wheelchair bound non-custodial parent, Wilbur Streett (see our Avenger Project page).

Now our readers in New Jersey inform us that Fred Kieser was removed from the bench a little over a year ago, in March 2008. While we'd like to celebrate, we in the father's rights/ncp rights movement are left disappointed over the way Keiser was dismissed from the bench.

We'd love to say that Fred Kieser was finally called to account for his abuse of Wilbur Streett, but this isn't the case. Apparently, what brought Kieser down was a supposed anti-Asian slur uttered to a non-Asian woman (!).

According to news reports, Kieser's slur occurred when a custodial parent came before him seeking additional money from an ex-spouse. When she couldn't produce a receipt for her expenses, Kieser told her: "No tickee, no shirtee" (an old-time riff on Chinese laundry personnel).

After an investigation by the State Senate Judiciary Committee, New Jersey governor John Corzine withdrew Kieser's appoint to underscore a zero-tolerance policy against racism.

Certainly, our judges should not be racist. But in Fred Kieser, we are talking about a person who years earlier deprived a man of his human and civil rights, and eventually brought about his death. Where was the state of New Jersey's zero tolerance policy when Fred Kieser sent wheelchair bound Wilbur Streett to jail for his medical-related inability to pay child support? Where was the zero tolerance policy when Middlesex County police brutally beat Wilbur Streett?

The sad end of this story is that in this country, hurtful words are much more important than the basic rights of divorced dads and non-custodial parents.

While we can take some comfort in knowing that a person like Fred Kieser will no longer preside over a family court, the reason for his dismissal shows us just how much harder we all have to fight.

ABOUT NCP FORCE! (Non-Custodial Parents Force)

Our organization is a non-profit, grassroots action organization dedicated to reforming America's family law system.

While we frequently refer to divorced fathers, who overwhelmingly bear the brunt of abuses in the family law system, we champion the cause of all non-custodial parents, be they unwed fathers, non-custodial mothers, grandparents, or assigned parentage fathers (men who are held responsible for parentage despite the fact that they are not biological fathers).

Unlike many other family law websites which claim to help divorced dads and NCP's, we will never ask our visitors for money or donations. We also do not charge for, or offer legal services. Instead we provide a virtual base of operations, forum, and information clearing house for visitors to help themselves free of charge.

Learn more about joining the NCP Force! It's free and no personal questions will be asked unless you wish to share your family law experiences with us.
