When the Chad Jessop story of Orange County California was brought to
the attention of Lee Woodard Sr. he was outraged that yet another
family was going through this kind of ordeal and started quietly
gathering support in the activist community. The problem that arose
was that he could not confirm any more facts than that there was
indeed a Chad and Laurie (Chad's mother) Jessop in Orange County and
after a few days posted the opinion that it was a hoax. Never one to
consider a case closed as long as new evidence and leads are
presented, within a week he posted his second findings stating that
indeed the nightmare the Jessop family had suffered at the hands of
Orange County had taken place, that he had confirmed this through
direct and indirect sources including one radio station that had at
first denied having covered it. It was a tasteful about face that many
politicians could learn from, explained as conclusions based on all
available evidence at two different points in time.

Mr. Woodard has said that the first finding was in part due to his own
need to quickly define his position after his name and that of Human
Rights USA had been linked to the story.

Chad Jessop's Story



An unholy alliance of California Child Protective Services (CPS) with
a hostile doctor and judge is attempting to railroad Laurie Jessop,
framed as a threat to her son and the establishment for finding a way
to cure him of malignant melanoma. She is now on trial, under a gag
order, since she had gone to the press. When she was arrested, she was
put in maximum security, solitary confinement, in the Orange County,
CA jail. They claim that everything about. her says anti-
Establishment, so she was told, as she was considered a threat in
starting a riot.

On the morning of Sept. 12, Gary Null read on KPFK, a Pacifica station
in Los Angeles, an e-mail from Ron Miller, who had met Ms. Jessop at
the Cancer Control Society annual convention during the Labor Day
weekend. They had discussed this persecution by Big Brother in the
guise of saving her son from this evil mother who has failed to
protect him! She disobeyed doctor's orders and found a natural way to
cure her son. These forces arrayed against her and insisted he must
have the cancer removed surgically and attacked with the standard
chemical fare. The cancer is gone, but nobody in authority will accept
that because her doctor doesn't believe that's possible.

The initial biopsy of the mole was done in February. Their regular
doctor was on leave when test results came in. A nurse informed them
of the bad news. On May 8, Chad Jessop had a follow up appointment
with a medical group doctor, by the name of Dr. Masciana, who insisted
he needed surgery to excise the site within a week, or he could die
any day now! This doctor is a general practitioner, not an oncologist
or qualified to do cancer diagnosis or surgery. Chad and his mom
decided to pursue holistic treatment for him. Incensed, the doctor
reported her to Child Protective Services on the grounds of gross
negligent child endangerment. She yelled at Laurie "all of you
Jehovah's Witnesses are all the same," never mind Laurie and Chad are
not Jehovah's witnesses. Dr. Masciana also told Laurie, with her son
present, that his death was imminent. At the close of the appointment,
Dr. Masciana informed Laurie that she was referring the case to Social
Services. In further investigation, Child Protective Social Services
is a misnamed government agency whose employees get paid bonuses every
time they take children away from their parents.

That evening Laurie called an attorney who advised her that she had 48
hours or less before Social Services showed up. If she could not prove
she was following doctor's orders, they'd take her son. Since Dr.
Masciana had created such a traumatic experience for Chad, he feared
the doctors and threatened to run away. In honoring Chad's wishes for
continued holistic care, Laurie took her son to San Diego to continue
holistic care using a number of various alternative treatments such
as: ozone, hyperbaric oxygen chamber, hydrogen peroxide, energy work,
Rife, nutritional supplements, and deep emotional work. Laurie also
used "black salve" that she purchased from Canada to remove the mole
tissue. Black salve was developed by Native American Indians more than
200 years ago, and used in the treatment of skin lesions, cancers,
warts, and moles. Figures our FDA banned it, because it works.

When Chad insisted on hitting the road to continue alternative
therapies and getting further diagnostics, that left a question as to
where Laurie's daughter Crystal would go. A close friend of the family
and Crystal's best friend agreed, and this felt like a perfect fit
under the circumstances, so Laurie legally signed Crystal over to the
family and gave them all the necessary medical insurance information.
On May 22, the local sheriff and CPS had taken her daughter out of
class, interrogating her mercilessly, telling her lies about her
mother, trying to force her to reveal where Laurie and Chad had gone,
and then forced her to go on a police joy ride and show them where
they reside. All of this was done against her will and carried on for
six hours!

They applied "Black Salve" directly to the area in question, thus
giving Chad a holistic version of a large border excision. It took
about two and a half weeks for the wound to heal. When it was healed
Laurie took Chad to a Del Mar dermatologist for a biopsy. The test
results were negative of any signs of melanoma! The next two weeks
were concentrated on once again healing the tissue to get another
biopsy. Upon the wound site being healed, a melanoma specialist did a
punch biopsy and a complete lab analysis on Friday, June 15. Again, no
sign of cancer could be found in the biopsy and the blood work was in
healthy ranges with no distinguishing markers that would otherwise be
present in a patient that would have advanced stage four melanoma, as
had been previously reported! Was it a miracle, or an activated immune
system in a healthy young man, with some useful help, that healed the
melanoma?

The following Monday, June 18th, Laurie and Chad turned themselves in
to the San Diego Social Services office, with all of their
documentation. They were detained for 4 hours, then told that arrest
warrants for Laurie and Chad were issued from Orange County. Chad was
locked up at the Palenskie Center in San Diego for one night. He had 2
guards watching him around the clock, since he was considered a flight
risk. When Laurie went to visit Chad they could not have any privacy,
as both guards listened to every word that was said. Laurie spent over
nine thousand bucks in San Diego for the treatments done over the five
week period of time, and has all the receipts as proof. A new social
worker, David Harper, was put on the case. He picked Chad up in San
Diego transporting him to Orangewood Children's Home in Orange County
for the next two weeks, where he got fed spaghetti and meat balls,
food not fitting one healing from cancer. One aspect of Chad's
treatment was a healthy diet of living foods, but Ms. Jessop's
requests of this social worker that Chad get proper food fell on deaf
ears. He did tell her she was allowed to see her daughter graduate
from Junior High School. She told him nobody could keep her away
without a court order, and that she would be there! The social worker
informed Laurie that he completed the paper work to lift the warrant
order on her.

After her daughter's graduation, on June 21st Laurie went to make
academic arrangements for her son, having missed five weeks of school.
Laurie showed the documentation to the principal and vice principal.
The Vice Principal knew Chad well, as Chad did his Eagle Scout project
for him at the high school. Chad is now an advanced Eagle Scout. No
matter, the VP called police to arrest Laurie at the school and haul
her off to the county jail. The arresting deputy harassed her. When
Laurie protested, the officer told her she didn't have to like her or
be nice to her. After arriving at the county jail, her first telephone
call had been to the social worker, David Harper, although he did
nothing to get her out of jail, nor was he willing to help correct the
record. Laurie was physically abused, they spread her legs twisting
her knee, when she complained they called out "Resisting...Resisting"
then they pushed her violently to a cell wall (behind the cameras)
causing her to twist her neck, shoulder and arm. After being worked
over, they took away her jacket, shoes, socks, and toilet paper, and
locked her up. Her holding cell was extremely cold and she was
deliberately denied toilet paper. She asked for toilet paper, only to
be answered it must have been taken for good reason and she was not
getting any. She was denied toilet paper from approximately 3:30pm
until 11:00pm. One has to wonder, what was she going to do with the
toilet paper, hang herself? By 11:00 pm Laurie got taken to be
assessed. She asked "is this a madhouse run by animals, who is running
this place?" Laurie told this officer her story for half an hour. He
let her talk, then said he sees all kinds of characters, his job is to
ascertain threats. He told her she has the fire, the spirit and the
power to overturn the system and create a riot. He informed her she'd
be put in solitary confinement, but she might get a roommate, probably
a drug offender. She was forced to take a chest X-ray against her
will, without any explanation and ridicule from the officers. Laurie
and her two children have never been in any type of trouble with the
law, but were treated like hardened criminals. She was shocked to
learn women taking showers have no privacy, that male guards are
watching. The next night she got a 58-year old roommate charged with
kidnapping her children from her husband 20 years ago, after being
extradited from Tennessee on outdated bogus charges tagged with 200
thousand bail. It would appear that Orange County is desperately
trying to maintain job security at the expense of the innocent!

Laurie was released on the streets of Santa Ana after midnight, in an
unsafe area of Southern California for a woman, after five days of
incarceration. Upon Laurie's arrest, officers impounded her van and
turned it upside down looking for drugs. She had to pay over 300
dollars in impound fees to get the van back.

Social Services approved the foster families that Laurie had arranged
for Chad and Crystal. Now Laurie is on trial, forbidden to speak under
a gag order, by the very judge that had issued the bench warrant for
her arrest, because she refused to go along with orthodox medicine.
The dermatologist, appointed by Social Services, testified in court
that the melanoma is playing hide and go seek, that they'd have to
subject Chad to unnecessary and dangerous further biopsies and medical
procedures to find where it migrated to. The dermatologist further
stated that the melanoma had become even more deadly, claiming it has
now traveled to different organs. The prescription for surgery is a
large border excision to the skullbone. Chad says he is old enough to
defend this country's freedoms, but he is denied that same freedom of
choice when it comes to his own health and he is also under gag order.
Ms. Jessop intends to sue anyone who touches her son against their
wishes. All Chad's blood tests are consistent with a healthy 17 year
old 6 2 young man. They refuse to tolerate anyone trying to clear
their conscience at his expense. Laurie says her record stands, she
will not back down, and she wants parents to know they do not have to
be intimidated by this system! The judge has stated twice that she
doesn't want Chad to die while she is on the bench; which sounds like
she has bias in the case! Surgery and chemotherapy had been intended
for the following week. The doctor is still of the mind Chad could die
any day now. When giving testimony, the dermatologist was asked if he
could perform surgery on Chad, knowing that Chad would not cooperate
with any Western medical butchery. His answer was emphatic No, he
could not perform an operation on anyone against their will.

What Big Brother has been doing to Ms. Jessop and her children is
unconscionable, beyond outrageous, a gross miscarriage of justice and
an abuse of authority. Many families have been torn apart by lesser
abuses of CPS and modern medicine. The Jessop family is very united
and strong in their convictions, very aware of their constitutional
rights, and will not give up to our corrupt system. Being a single
parent for the last 11 years, Laurie has done herself proud raising
her children and is extremely close to both of them. Laurie and her
children have stood the test and this hellish ordeal has brought them
closer together as a family. She said at the press conference, "I am a
mama bear and no one is messing with my cubs!"

Laurie's deadbeat ex-husband, Marcus, has never voluntarily paid for
child support or any of the children's medical bills, even though he
is legally bound to pay for half according to their divorce agreement.
She has had to drag him into court to get a judgment and garnish his
wages in order to collect on past due medical bills. It so happens
Marcus is in agreement with the state, he wants his son, (having had
no contact for the last 10 years) to be butchered and drugged to
eliminate this incredible cancer, that refuses to carry out its death
sentence and is too clever to show up on tests. Marcus is in court
with his own public defender, pushing for this even though he has no
legal or physical custody, not even any visitation rights. If he was
in agreement with Laurie's medical beliefs, this court probably
wouldn't allow him in the courtroom. Our tax dollars, hard at work!

In the state of Virginia, a brilliant 17 year old young man went
through a very similar ordeal, but won his battle with CPS. Once his
case was over, he was instrumental in passing a new law in the state
of Virginia. Abraham's Law, that gives a minor the right to make their
own medical decisions when they are bright and understand their
choices. Laurie wants to get her story out and push through a similar
bill in California, called "Chad's Law," so that other families do not
have to go through the abusive nature of a department that is supposed
to be protecting our children. As "Roy of Hollywood" stated on KPFK
recently, who is protecting us from the Child Protective Social
Services Department? Pushing through a bill like this may be very
expensive, but once Laurie makes up her mind that she is doing
something, she is all steel, determined, and will persevere to find a
way to make this happen. If you can help her in any way, please
contact me via e-mail.

Orthodox medicine is unwilling to admit it does not know everything,
and it hates competition. Its methods of treating cancer are not the
only ways that can work. Ms. Jessop believed she could find another
way, and her son, given a diagnosis of imminent death, is now free of
cancer. Never mind, the doctor is sure it's still there, so Big
Brother intends to make an example of her as an unfit mother for
disobeying her doctor, putting her son in mortal danger. That's not
happening, but truth often doesn't matter to Big Brother, as is
apparent in most government policy. If Chad were actually endangered
by not getting conventional treatment, the authorities might have a
leg to stand on, but in this case, it's not his mother putting him in
jeopardy, it's the system! The doctor has egg on her face, because she
was sure Chad would die quickly without aggressive conventional
treatment, and she has been proven wrong! Instead of learning from her
error, she wants to make Ms. Jessop and her son pay for showing her
up!

I'm helping her get her story out. One newspaper did a story, but in
general, very little has been reported so far. I tried to find the
story online, but no luck. A press conference was held on Sept. 6th,
just before court. Two of the major TV news stations and one of the
largest AM radio all news stations showed up. KFWB radio ran the story
immediately that day. As soon as court started the judge announced
that there was a gag order on this case and threatened jail time and
contempt of court to anyone (including the minor in question), that
spoke to the press or anyone else for that matter. One of the TV news
stations didn't want to run the story without interviewing Chad and
getting his viewpoints. The judge denied a continuance six different
times, ignoring all six times valid reasons for the requests. The
judge also denied Laurie the right to hire her own attorney! She
retained a law firm with her own money, but the judge insisted she has
to keep her Public Defender, presumably as a public servant easier to
control than a private attorney not so dependent on the system.

If anyone reading this wants to help get the story out, feel free to
blog away. I could give out phone numbers for Ms. Jessop or Mr. Miller
if you send me a note at This blog is
angryscientist.wordpress.com. Laurie can't risk violating the gag
order, but she'd appreciate your prayers and support in her very
difficult time of fighting our corrupt system in order to keep her
family together. Thanks for taking the time to read this long story.
Now that you know what sort of injustice masquerades as protecting
children, you can do something to help wake up sleepwalking friends
and neighbors, trusting "The System" to know what's best for the
children, and adults too.
