WE NEED TO E-MAIL THE PROSECUTOR RIGHT NOW !!!!

A prosecutor is not going to give a damn about emails from people outside Australia. They will end up in cyber trash. Also, writing a prosecutor is very different from writing to a president, governor, legislator, or regulator. A prosecutor  has special duties, more insulated from public pressure.

Austrralian emails would be good. It is not prudent to demand things from a prosecutor. Stating concerns with the specific details and regulation of pedophiles, in general, should be sufficient. 

I am assuming that Australia has a common law tradition, similar to that of the US and UK.

writing a prosecutor is very different from writing to a president, governor, legislator, or regulator.

So is there anyone else we should write to?

Here's the email I sent in to Mr. Chapman.

--Oppostate

================================

To: John Chapman SC
Director of Public Prosecutions
565 Lonsdale Street
Melbourne
Victoria 3000


Dear Mr. John Chapman SC,  Director of Public Prosecutions.

I have learned of your letter to Mr. Steven Unthank, expressing that
"you will exercise your power under section 22(1)(b)(ii) of the Public
Prosecutions Act 1994 (Vic) to “take over the prosecutions for the
purpose of discontinuing them.” Further you expressed that for these
prosecutions to go forth would be “not in the public interest.”

It is hard for me to believe you would take such action. As an
educator for over 25 years I'm shocked to hear that a public servant
would dare ignore the human rights of children not to be abused and
mistreated. To say that such action as you propose to undertake would
be acting in "the public interest" sounds pharisaical and jesuitical
to me. It equivocates the truth of the matter, the crimes involved,
and makes light of grievous abuses that have taken place and the
disregard for the actual laws instituted in the true "public interest"
of citizens in Australia.

Dear Sir, I ask you to reconsider your decision and to side with the
righteous case Mr. Unthank is pursuing against those who would sweep
under the rug the heinous acts committed against defenseless children.
It is an indignation to think otherwise and that you would act as you
stated in your letter, dated 20 of February of 2012 to Mr. Unthank.

Please, Mr. Chapman, I appeal to you to do the decent and responsible
thing that public representatives are expected to do for their constituents
and not to intervene in a manner that hinders justice and denies
lawful protection to Australian children.

Sincerely,
Dr. J### B########

I just fired off this other email, as there's been no answer from Mr. Chapman.

======================

To: senator.xenophon@aph.gov.au

Dear Senator Xenophon,
I'm forwarding you a previous email I sent to Mr. John Chapman SC,
Director of Public Prosecutions.

In my email I express my disbelief and disappointment in Mr. Chapman
regarding the mishandling on his part of the cases concerning the
abuse of minors and the hiding away of evidence from authorities
that seek to protect children from sexual abuse and mistreatment.

It is very disheartening to see that laws put in place for the protection
of minors are ignored by public servants and put young ones in peril.

I humbly request that you, Dear Senator, look into the cases noted
here below, and seek to have an accounting of Mr. Chapman's actions
regarding the cases formerly under prosecution by Mr. Unthank.

Sincerely,
Dr. J#### B########

Oppostate,

I like your letters. It would be good for there to be an investigation into why the Crown has allowed the Watchtower Society to get away with serious crimes against children.

Good work guys ive sent emails to both Senator Xenophone and to The Director of public prosecution giving my name and address in Australia.

I will happily rewite to all Vic Parlament members my concerns with his questionable decision.

Just everyone do what they can, it cant hurt.

Az

bump

Besides Mr. Chapman and Senator Xenophon, is there anyone else we can write to in Australia? What is the mainstream media in Victoria???

This appears to be the latest from Mr. Unthank at JWNews. Very sad indeed.

by Steven Unthank

February 21, 2012

Victoria, AUSTRALIA

I went to court today to defend and protect the children within the religion of Jehovah’s Witnesses. All I carried in my hand were two books, the Holy Bible and a copy of the Working with Children Act 2005. These I placed on the bar table as I took my seat before the Magistrate. There was nothing else I could do. The prosecuting of these 5 separate criminal cases and 35 individual charges had been taken off me.

I left court today after having failed to defend and protect the children within the religion of Jehovah’s Witnesses. I carried in my hand only one book.

I apologize to the children for failing to defend them and for failing to protect them. Please forgive me. I tried my best, God knows I tried my best.

Steven Unthank

former Acting Prosecutor

The above pencil drawing is an image of a young child in the Traralgon Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses that was recently raped by a fellow member of the church. Part of her rape included the insertion of Lego blocks into her vagina. This innocent child then went on to be abused yet again by the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Body of Elders within the Traralgon Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses when they refused to comply with mandatory child protection laws for “religious organisations” and for “ministers of religion” as legislated in the Working with Children Act 2005.

Following the rapes and abuse the religion of Jehovah’s Witnesses turned it’s back on this child and her family, as well as the other abused children, and then actively hindered, opposed and condemned any execution of justice by aiding and shielding the lawbreakers.

The Director of Public Prosecutions, Mr John Champion SC, after extensive consultation with Police Chief Commissioner Ken Lay,  declared in court today that the prosecution of those who abused this child, and other children that had also been recently raped or abused within the religion of Jehovah’s Witnesses “is not in the best public interest”. Thereupon the Director of Public Prosecutions discontinued the prosecution. The Magistrate declared in Court that he was powerless to prevent it. The police and the State refused to protect these children and to grant them equal protection of the law.

“Only persons have human rights . . . Corporations do not have human rights . . . Every person is equal before the law and is entitled to the equal protection of the law . . . Families are the fundamental group unit of society and are entitled to be protected by society and the State . . . Every child has the right, without discrimination, to such protection as is in his or her best interests and is needed by him or her by reason of being a child.” – Victorian Charter of Human Rights.

“The main purpose of this Act is to assist in protecting children from sexual or physical harm by ensuring that people who work with, or care for, them have their suitability to do so checked by a government body.” – Section 1(1) Working with Children Act 2005, Victoria, Australia.

“It is encouraging to know that child abuse is now acknowledged as a worldwide problem . . . some countries . . . are even setting up a register of known pedophiles, restricting their easy access to children. Then there are those who seek a better life for children by passing legislation to protect them . . . While we all no doubt applaud such efforts to rid society of child abuse, we must be realistic and acknowledge that child abuse has very deep roots in human society. It would be naive to think that a simple solution such as legislation will provide complete protection for our children. Many laws have already been passed, and yet the problem persists. It is really an indictment of the world’s delinquent adults that the natural right to childhood has to be protected by a vast array of laws. Laws are not the ultimate protection for children . . . governments, pushed to the limits by economic constraints, are not doing enough to stop the exploitation of their children . . . Think of the heartbreak of parents who have discovered, too late, that their children have been abused by trusted clergymen, teachers, or even close family members. It would be good for you as a parent to ask yourself, ‘Does my church tolerate or cover up child abuse? Is my religion holding firmly to high moral principles?’ Answers to such questions could help you to make wise choices in protecting your children.”  - Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses, Awake! magazine, April 8, 1999.

Absolutely gutted.

any response to anyone's emails?

Anybody else think we should get to the bottom of where, how, and why that picture came from before we write any more letters?

I do think that we should now ignore my thread title for sure, and hold fire till we know a little more, perhaps in a day or so all will become clear, Babara Anderson may have more info for us, or Steven himself.

We certainly do not want to be "directing our blows so as to strike the air" or however the clumsy NWT put Paul's words, but you know what I mean.

We should hold fire for a few hours or so, and then maybe do our best to get the Politicians and the Media involved.

PLEASE SEE THE THREAD : "Steven Unthank , what do we really know ?" it raises the spectre that we may have been duped, I certainly hope not.

If someone yanks my chain they will find more than a  pit bull on the end of it.
