An Orono woman discovered dead with her 5-year-old son Monday left a suicide note lamenting her long-running court battle with the father over custody that ended with them having joint parenting rights, according to a search warrant filed Wednesday.

Police have called the hangings of Gina Ilene Summers, 46, and her son Jude a murder-suicide. It appears to follow a lengthy custody dispute between Summers and the boy’s father, 51-year-old Jeff Sandberg, of Minnetonka.

Officers first stopped by the home Monday, after Sandberg notified police that he could not reach anyone there to arrange for picking up his son at 5 p.m., Police Chief Correy Farniok said. Summers and Sandberg have joint custody of the boy.
The home was locked and no one answered the door, Farniok said. Sandberg was advised to call back later if the situation remained the same, the chief said.
After the father called again, a relative who lived nearby and had keys let police in about 8 p.m. That’s when the bodies were found in the basement and a preliminary determination of murder-suicide was made, the chief said.

Summers’ typed and signed note, which was discovered nearby, “talked about prior domestic abuse and issues with the system and allowing a child to be ripped from his mother,” and it ended with, “Don’t let this happen to another child and mother.”

Sandberg released a statement late Thursday through his attorney pointing out how he went from enjoying a family fishing trip a week ago to the Boundary Waters with his 5-year-old son and others to now “planning the funeral for Jude, murdered by his mother, Gina Summers, when he was getting ready for his first day of Ready Start Kindergarten.”

Sandberg challenged the mother’s allegations, writing that Summers “since the onset of the case in January 2015 when she falsely accused the father of domestic abuse, never missed an opportunity to disrupt the established father-son relationship, both inside and outside of the Family Court paternity proceedings.”

He said Summers traumatized him and his family over the past 2½ years with “her actions and inactions, including her scheduling of multiple motions before the court, not only before but also after the trial, and subsequently to the Court of Appeals, and her absolute refusal to participate in ordered mediation.”

Police searched Summers’ house and found documents, including court and mental health papers. A camera system was also installed at the property.
According to court documents in their disputes over Jude’s custody and care, Summers and Sandberg began a romantic relationship in 2008, and the next year discussed having a child through in vitro fertilization. After several failed pregnancy attempts, Jude was born in August 2012.

By July 2015, the relationship had become toxic. Summers received an order for protection against Sandberg, saying he had been physically abusing her since 2009. That petition was eventually settled and dismissed.
But the two continued to fight over the pregnancy costs and how to care for the boy. They filed court motions against one another over which school district he should attend. On Friday, Hennepin County District Judge Edward Wahl ruled in Sandberg’s favor.

The court records include many of the boy’s report cards, pictures and assessments. His preschool teacher wrote that the boy is “doing great in class! He is such a smiley and loving boy!”
​
Summers worked as a Realtor in the west metro. In an online biography, she spoke at length about activities with her son, that ranged “from reading to painting, from racing cars to swimming with them, from gardening to building, all ball sports, and not to mention teaching him to downhill ski at 17 months old; the list of fun goes on and on.”

Children are being ripped from their parents by CPS.

Children are growing up without fathers which has resulted in a highly-unstable America.

Men, women and children are committing suicide at record numbers as a result of the greed-driven politicians, lawyers, judges and entitled, "custodial parents". 
NOBODY is doing anything that's making any difference.

The difference is, money. The people who are strangling this country to death and destroying the family have all the money and consequently, the victims of their unconstitutional crimes have no money.

With money, a real grassroots campaign can be activated via social media, Cities across the country and Washington DC. There can be no results without funding, this is the way the world works.

Any money that is contributed to this campaign will be used for the following:

1: The creation of High-Quality Videos which illustrate the Family Law Problem.

2: Paid online advertising to promote Family Law Reform videos and Family Law Reform websites.

3: The creation of a Family Law Reform Lawyer Association that will use the Constitution to bring many unlawful Family Law practices/policies up to the Supreme Court.

4: Funding for advertising for all Family Law Reform Petitions.

5: Organization of a million man march in Washington DC.

...and many more things.

We have to get serious, or things will never change.

I've made dozens of videos outlining the problems of Family Law. Please check out my YouTube channel and watch them.

In case no one has been paying attention to politics, President Donald Trump appointed Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.

​Neil Gorsuch is an originalist, which basically means he views the US Constitution as our forefathers did and believes it was written not as a suggestion, but as a solid mandate.

We, victims of the corrupt Family Law system have had our rights absolutely violated for decades thanks to the greedy and sinister liberal agenda to tear apart the family unit, create a welfare state and cause ruin and destruction. They have warped the meanings of words and created laws which are 100% unconstitutional, such as; Debtor's Prison, asset forfeiture, and loss of a parent's ability to see their child.

The Supreme Court rulings become the law of the land and so we must write letters to Judge Neil Gorsuch which tell our personal stories and how we believe our rights are being violated. Do it today and hope for a better tomorrow.

Below is a basic outline of how to format your letter. It doesn't have to be exactly like this, but try to keep it respectful.

How to Write a Letter to a Supreme Court Judge by Eric Feigenbaum

The nine justices of the U.S. Supreme Court review some of the most challenging cases facing the American legal system and make decisions that not only settle the cases at hand, but create precedents that affect the application of law forever more. By constitutional design, the Supreme Court is responsible to the Constitution of the United States and not to the general public or even to elected officials. That means that if you intend to write a letter to one of the justices, you'll need it to be respectful, interesting and relevant to them.

1: Use or create formal letterhead for your letter. The Supreme Court is a formal institution, and your letter should have the correct appearance to appear credible.

2: Your name should be either at the top of the letter with your address at the bottom in the manner law firms and businesses use on their stationery. Alternatively, in the top right of the page on three separate lines, include your name; street address; city, state and zip code.

3: Place the name and address of your letter recipient three or four lines down from the top right corner of your letterhead.

4: Use the abbreviation "Hon." before the name of the judge to whom you are writing.

5: The second line of the address should say "Supreme Court of the United States of America."

6: The third line should read "1 First St. NE" and the fourth line "Washington D.C. 20543."

7: Include the date of writing one line below the judge's address, but right-aligned so that it sits below the sender address in the top right corner of the page.

8: Begin writing your letter two to three lines below the recipient's address. Use the salutation, "Your Honor" followed by a colon. Move two more lines down to begin your first body paragraph.

9: State the purpose of your letter in the first sentence or two. Most likely either a security professional or a court clerk will be the first person to look at your letter. First and foremost, you need whomever first reviews it to know that your letter is safe and does not present a security risk. Second, the court clerk who handles the mail needs to immediately recognize the letter's relevance to the justice you're addressing.

10: Use polite, formal language for the body of your letter. Do not use expletives or slang. Keep your sentences concise and your meaning clear. Use "your honor" interchangeably with "you" --- it is considered respectful to refer to judges by their titles when communicating with them.

​12: Conclude with a respectful closure such as "Respectfully," "Cordially" or "Sincerely." Sign your name below your closure and include a printed version of your name below it.

The below letter, sent to HHS Secretary Tom Price and President Donald J. Trump was drafted by the Florida Family and Children Constitutional Coalition, FCLU and California Coalition Families and Children.

Please take a moment to read the letter and also to acquaint yourselves with the organizations that drafted it and show them support. Please also download it, share it, print it and send it off to Washington DC. 

​This is how we win.

​The illusion that Federal spending for Child Support Enforcement is seen here. Federal Government spends nearly 6 billion dollars and States report back, 28 billion dollars collected, therefore, justified. This is false. 

1:Child Support calculations are excessive.

2:Money is lost due to unconstitutional imprisonment of men who can't afford to pay.

3: Children suffering from parental alienation commit crimes, commit suicide, and suffer mental disorders. (thereby taxing the system further)

4: Custodial parents have no accountability for child support spending.

5: Men (and some women) become impoverished severely and lose basic means of survival.

6: A percentage of women deliberately become impregnated for the money and zero justice is brought to them.

7: False accusations flood the family courts and further to disconnect otherwise moral men from society.

8: More than 50% of men paying child support do not have access to their children.

etc. etc. etc.

This is Kash Jackson, a man victimized by the family courts. He's also a man of action. Please watch the video and join the movement.

​A Quick Summary of Title IV-D
Funding and Incentives
By Doug Dante DougDante1@yahoo.com Updated: March 11, 2009
 


US CODE TITLE 42 > CHAPTER 7 > SUBCHAPTER IV > Part D > § 655.Payments to States

Provides for 66 percent payments to cover basically all expenses related to child support establishment, payment handling, etc. This is the big direct payment to the states from the federal government. The more work there is to do, the more the federal government repays the states. To maximize program income, the child support enforcement agency should maximize the number of cases, and the number of dollars and processing time per case. It is therefore necessary to discourage parents from making their own arrangements for payment, and to strongly encourage divorces or a breakup of cohabitation between parents. Joint custody laws have been shown to cut the divorce rate. It is unsurprising that most child support agencies often strongly oppose them, along with most family lawyers. From various newspaper articles, it seems that the Michigan Friend of the Court (Assists Michigan courts in enforcing child support and parenting time orders) sends to the federal government documentation for wages and benefits of full time equivalent employees. Each hour a that FOC enforcement officer works, 66% of his/her pay comes from the federal government (plus incentive payments based on performance). I do not believe that the FOC distinguishes between time spent collecting fines, which go to the FOC itself, and time spent collecting child support, which go to the parents who care for the children. Other states likely have equivalent billing mechanisms.
 
US CODE TITLE 42 > CHAPTER 7 > SUBCHAPTER IV > Part D > 658a. Incentive payments to States

$483,000,000 for fiscal year 2008 to be shared amongst all states. (2)(A) Each state's portion is based on its "incentive base amount" which is supposed to be calculated from its paternity establishment performance level, support order performance level, current payment performance level, arrearage payment performance level, and cost effectiveness performance level. All except the first are improved by getting higher child support orders per case, which means sole physical custody for the parent earning the least money. However, for states maximizing revenue, the state collections base, i.e. Support collected, is, I believe, the only value used to calculate performance (5)(A). There is what may be termed a “loophole” which is used by states to effectively get near 100% funding of child support enforcement. This was closed under the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, but was recently reopened for two years retroactive to October 2008 under the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (a.k.a. Stimulus Package). The “loophole” allows states to use federal incentive money to cover their 34% payment to get § 655 funds. In effect, the states only needed to pass the appropriate laws complying with Title IV-Maintain a certain performance level, and then the federal government will pay for most, if not all, of their child support enforcement efforts. In some cases, the states could even profit by collecting more in incentive payments than was required to cover their 34% base share.

US CODE TITLE 42 > CHAPTER 7 > SUBCHAPTER IV > Part D > 669b.Grants to States for access and visitation programs
 
90% federal match or $100,000 per state minimum. It seems to me that most states are missing the boat on getting the most money here. This is may be because they're aware that strong enforcement of parenting time may be an inhibitor to a future divorces, which can reduce child support awards and therefore cut into program income.
 
It's not clear that these courts are respecting the disbursement laws in the 2005 Deficit Reduction Act, and may be using these additional payments, received by check, to pay themselves interest-like fines on arrears.
 
Also, in some case, courts in some states may be respecting the income limits, but evading the restrictions on disbursement by collecting that portion of child support which is intended to pay down arrears as fees. Local child support enforcement agencies then such as the Michigan Friend of the Court then have a financial incentive to find that parents have in the past failed to support their children for an extended period, or that they owe substantial fees such as lawyer fees as child support. As the paying parent will likely not be able to pay off these fees for a long time, the agency can then create an income stream as large as 5% of the parent’s net income (based on the amount collected for arrears), and disburse that to itself as interest-like fines on the arrears that parents owe, rather than to the child they are intended to serve. This creates a very strong incentive to add the legal bills of the other party or other fees onto the child support obligation of the paying parent, in order to establish large arrears up front which then help create large interest-like fines that then create a steady future pay stream for the agency. The establishment of these arrears also create a strong financial incentive to deny modifications of child support payments when parents lose their jobs, or to prevent parents who owe arrears but are actually the custodians of the children for whom they pay child support to modify their obligations to receive support instead, which is normally defined by law as being in the best interests of the children. For some local agencies who are adept at finding parents in arrears, these interest-like fines may represent a substantial income stream. For those income streams established before the 2005 Deficit Reduction Act, the agency's immediate loss of those income streams, caused by new federal laws requiring them to pass that money onto the children they serve, can be a bitter pill to swallow. It should come as no surprise that some parents have raised concerns that their local agency may be failing to follow the changes in the federal disbursement law. Local agencies may also fine parents for the cost of enforcing support obligations, including court costs, costs of police time, cost of agency time in enforcing obligations, the costs of prosecuting attorneys, and jail costs. These additional costs can sometimes create a conflict of interest for the agencies. However, finding the proper balance of enforcement in each case is a delicate matter, and we in the public should try to show reasonable deference to agencies and people who are honestly acting in what they believe is the best interests of children and parents, and who are doing their best to apply the law in a reasonable manner.
 
Undistributed Collected Funds
 
In some cases, child support collected is never disbursed to the parent who is caring for the child. Sometimes that parent “does not want the money”. Sometimes that parent fails to cooperate, and sometimes the money is just lost. Usually, the state keeps this money for itself, either through the general treasury or through the child support collection agency. These undistributed collected funds can add up to substantial income. States have a financial conflict of interest in providing this money to the children which are to benefit from it. This may include making it difficult for people to find out what funds are not being collected or disbursed, even for the paying parent or the child in question, and even after that child turns 18. For example, in Michigan, only the recipient can find the funds using his/her name and social security number.
