Subject: Ferrel Christensen - ECMAS

To: Donna Laframboise

I have been a volunteer with ECMAS since 1999. I have participated in

various meetings in the hope of helping parents who are experiencing

difficulties due to an unfair court system.

It has recently been brought to my attention that you feel it is necessary

to publish a derogatory article concerning Ferrel Christensen. I met Mr.

Christensen in the fall of 1999 when I came to the ECMAS support group for

help. He was very supportive and he provided me with good sound advice.

[Among other things, the reporter could've asked this non-custodial mother whether the advice I gave included

firing her lawyer in order to hire Mr. Adams. But as we've seen, the reporter knew I was not doing that.] [Back]

I am very disappointed and saddened to hear that you feel it is important to

damage Mr. Christensen's reputation. It is because of Mr. Christensen and

others like him that people's lives are saved. This world needs more caring

people like him. [Next]

I am proud to live in a country where freedom of speech is valued. Mr.

Christensen did not slander anyone in his book. It was published by a

publisher and meant for a specialized academic audience. He expressed his

professional opinion on a subject where there is supporting evidence from

other experts in the field. Corruption comes from the heart of the receiver.

I would appreciate if you would investigate the devious motives behind

whoever has encouraged you to contemplate this terrible injustice.
