Teri Hughes
has not made any comments concerning the two letters my wife,
Gilda Marie Schoonover, in prison, has written about
Elan. Contrary to
Teri Hughes, they reflect conformance with the true teachings of
Jesus and are positive.
Many have
voiced their opinions of the circumstances surrounding Elan’s
existence. Some are a
bit on the tacky side.
For example, my Vietnamese cardiologist blurted in
disbelief, “Your gun still works at your age?” He favors my wife and I
raising my son.
Many have
criticized me to no end for the foolish shameful act preaching
that Marie should file for divorce.
Some think
I should be castrated.
My two daughters have voiced such perverted views they
should have been too ashamed to even speak, much less print for
public viewing. More
cruel than the ‘anonymous’ hate e-mails I received from Judy
Girdner. The last
thing one dying should harbor is hatred. Herein lays the root of
the problem, beginning months before the accidental death of our
little Benjamin:
Family
breakdown. Not just one, but
two.
The
‘Stanart’ family and the ‘Schoonover’ family. Falls under the final
Commandment handed down by Moses: Covet/jealousy. An aphorism by Lao Tzu
fits: “From the seeds of greed sprouts
corruption.”
With the
marriage of John and Gilda the result should have been the joining
of the two families.
The adoption of Benjamin should have been cement in that
mixture.
Marie and I
had liquid assets totaling a third $million. Benjamin posed a threat to
those in line for inheritance. This was not a
factor with four members of the Stanart family: Two distant
relatives and James and Nora Stanart, Marie’s parents. James died in 2000. Nora Stanart is the only
living close blood relative (and witness to the events of the
fateful evening of Benjamin’s fatal fall) who knows the truth and
supports both Marie and I.
The rest of
the Stanart family holds on to the blind faith that our public
officials are not corrupt and/or do not make mistakes. “John is the beast, Marie
took the fall for him.”
Two members
in the ‘Schoonover’ family hold to that blind faith with opposite
conviction: “John is covering up for Marie.” The remainder know Nora
Stanart is a truthful woman and know as well that Benjamin’s death
was an accident and Marie is innocent of any crime.
With Marie
in prison there are two in direct line for any remaining
assets. Then John
creates an interference: Elan. “How to get
rid of Elan” is their question. Their efforts have greatly
assisted in dissolving what liquid assets John did have. “From the seeds of
greed.” No other in
the ‘Schoonover’ family has this greed and harbours the love for
Elan families should for their relatives. As they all know Marie
is innocent of any crime and support my efforts to extract her
from illegal confinement, is that anything less than love for an
in-law?
I may or
may not receive just compensation from the State of Oklahoma
for the years of illegally inflicted incarceration by Charles
Ramsey and Judge Dynda Post.
Whether I do or don't my two daughters will only Inherit
The Wind for their slander.
If …the
biggest word in the dictionary … the two families had stuck
together there would never have been a trial. Hatred, greed, condemning
judgments violating Jesus’ sound advice to “Judge not, lest ye
likewise…” invited
the corrupt Mayes County officials to perform
their a lynching.
None of
this should have any bearing on the present status with Elan. But it does. Judge Henry Mathew cannot
dismiss from his mind all of the irrelevant occurrences and see
the clear picture of the present and has been unable to make a
reliable decision based on the present.
Al Gore
neglected to hold tightly his son’s hand for several minutes that
resulted in little Albert being hit by a speeding car and months
of pain in the hospital.
There was no “Emergency Protective Order.”
I neglected
to keep my eye on Elan for 20 seconds resulting in a minor
accident that spontaneously healed within less than a week and less pain than a
single immunization shot!
“Equal Justice under the law?”
Aside from
the money, that talks more in a courtroom than justice, Little
Albert Gore had one major element that Elan does not: Family
Unity!
Perhaps if
Tipper had been a Republican the feuding could have resulted in
DHS intervention. Al
is obviously not a fit parent or he would have held tightly to his
son’s hand. I’m sure
his ‘republican’ in-laws would agree. A ‘Terri Hughes’ would
have a field day with that scenario.
Child abuse
does exist. But
accidents happen to the best of us. Little Elan was no more a
“Deprived Child” than little Albert.
Family
unity cannot prevent an accident. But family unity can
prevent opening doors for DHS to step in and scream “Child Abuse!”
when there is nothing more than an accident. And “Child Abuse” means
money!
“We always
try to unite families as quickly as possible.” Good motto. Why tear them apart in the
first place? Simply
because “Child Abuse” means money.
Kelsey
Smith Briggs is a good example of that! I was told, “We are here
to make sure that doesn’t happen again.” Kelsey Smith Briggs has
nothing to do with any accident.
How about
an equal amount of bill boards with Benjamin’s picture and the
caption “Help Prevent Accidents”? “Ban Concrete Floors” “Ban Furniture Children
Can Climb on”
“Prevent Accidents.
Cage Your Children”
Such would not be cost effective and profitable for
DHS.
But if we
have an accident, that appears it could possibly be similar to an
infliction, and if we can convince a judge, we can extort a lot of
money. All we
need is “suspicion.”
If there is no money to extort then we can sell off Elan to
the highest bidder.
How easy it
is to take a prize child from his single parent father. All DHS need do is
bankrupt the parent and with no funds to fight DHS’s unlimited
bankroll Elan is a prize money maker for DHS.
Such
happens all too often.
Do not think it could not happen to
you.
The fact
that Elan is the product of an “out of wedlock” agreement should
not be a factor by any legal standard but DHS pushes this issue as
well.
Many have
seen the positive side as well; “end justifies means” type of
attitude. Great that
I have a son otherwise impossible. “You and Gilda have
a son to raise. Get
her out [of prison] so you can do it!” is a comment from best of
friends as well as members of three
families!
My wife
loves me. She
encourages me in my fight for Elan. “Divorce” is not a
consideration. Her biggest concern is my smallest: The house I designed to
build for us upon her release from prison is of unique design with
but one bedroom and Marie does not know how I can maintain the
original design with two bedrooms. Simple: As easily as I designed it
with only one. Easier
than I designed the one I built in Idaho with three.
Marie may
not know how to build a house, but she does know how to make a
good home. Like me,
Marie prefers educating guidance and does not condone corporal
punishment. Teri Hughes could not stain her lily white gloves
dusting my Marie for dirt.
I could not
visit my son the 23rd as scheduled. He “had a runny nose” …not
feeling well. The
visit was rescheduled for today, the 24th. I asked if he had a fever
and what the doctor said was wrong with him? He didn’t have a fever, I
was told, and they didn’t take him to a doctor. Do they have something to
hide? He was “just
cutting teeth.” Elan
was in a pretty good mood; though his demeanor …I get sick when I
think about how he was always such a happy baby before they took
him from me and how he is now. I’m just glad he didn’t
have a fever. I do
take DHS’s word. They
are always so honest.
I pulled a brand new pediatric thermometer from my pocket
and stuck it in his ear. I have to take it back to the Palace Drug
Store in Cleveland. It must be
defective. It
registered 99.1. ‘Low
grade,’ admitted. But
higher than his normal 97.7 when I took him to the Cleveland
Hospital with
his “broken" arm alert and smiling.
DHS has
nothing to hide. It
was State licensed Day Care owner Vicky Childs that killed three
year old Joshua Minton last week in Tulsa when he had a runny nose
and was acting like my Elan.
My son cannot articulate "daddy" as he could
six months ago. I have nothing to worry
about.

If you
think for one minute that our Oklahoma’s DHS and
their cohorts’ primary concern is to
reunite a
natural parent with their natural child, for a "Stronger
Natural Family," think again

Introduction:
I am John Schoonover.
70 years of age with limited time available to raise my
only son.
My wife is unable to conceive due to endometriosis and now
age and via her it is impossible for me to hope for continuation
of my blood and live beyond my grave. I sought out and found
someone who could and willingly did give me a son.
Elan Lee Montgomery Schoonover, my son, was born June 2,
2006.
My boy’s mother and I were at my residence two days when
DHS, accompanied by two Pawnee County Deputies, knocked on the
back door and the harassment began. “If anything happens to
that baby we will hold you responsible” was the first
threat.
My boy’s mother left the residence and I raised my son
alone, save some Sundays when I hired a competent sitter. I had a pool of four.
The late evening of the 14th of November my boy
indicated he was wet and was ready for his final ‘meal’ of the
day. I placed him on
my bed [on which he sleeps] between two queen-size pillows to
change him and prepare his bottle. This was a routine
practiced multiple times a day almost since his homecoming.
From the side of the bed to any part of the kitchen is no
more than eight steps.
There is a dividing wall between the kitchen and the room
the bed is in. The
trash is in the kitchen, which is where I took his wet
diaper. I came back
in and put on his clean diaper. Then I went back into the
kitchen to fill is bottle with water and put it in the
microwave. While it
was in the microwave I went back to the bed and played with Elan
until the microwave stopped.
I then went to get his bottle and put three scoops of
formula in it and return to feed him.
1
As I was leaving the kitchen I heard him fall and yell
out. He had managed
to roll over one of the pillows and onto the floor; taking the
blanket he was on with him.
He had never before been able to roll up onto one of the
pillows; much less over one.
I picked him up and comforted him and he quit crying. I laid him on the center
of the bed where he sleeps and held his bottle for him as I always
have. He went to
sleep before he finished it.
My son rolled over twice in the middle of the night. The next morning I woke up
first.
I put water in the bottle in anticipation of Elan’s waking
and put it in the microwave but did not turn it on until Elan
woke. At that time I
went to him, changed his diaper and went to the kitchen to turn on
the microwave and then went back to my son. I did not pick him until
the microwave stopped, at which time I went into the kitchen and
put his formula into the bottle and emulsifying it on my way back
to Elan…as I had done countless times without
incident.
When I picked him up I moved his arms and he cried as in
discomfort. It was
easy to isolate the source; I felt his arms and found nothing
wrong but doing so caused him apparent pain so I suspected his
right arm had been hurt during his fall.
Ordinarily nothing serious could be wrong but this was the
arm that had been injured during birth and that exacerbated my
concern that something could be wrong and I wanted a
professional opinion for my son.
I was greeted at the Cleveland Hospital by Mikah McCray who
had an “Emergency Protective Order” already signed by Judge Mathew
D. Henry.
Three physicians AT THAT TIME that had examined my boy
would not agree to state for Mikah McCray that my son’s injury was
inflicted and that they could not rule out a fall. At the first hearing Mikah
McCray testified on the stand to this fact.
Six weeks later Mikah McCray wrote a “Confirmed Child
Abuse” ; I was arrested and charged with maliciously deliberately
breaking Elan Wheeler’s arm
2
In March I obtained the hospital records from OSU and their
radiologist’s report clearly states “No fractures.” In April Casa Worker Teri
Hughes managed to get that examination modified to fit the
charge. I still have
the original three page report. I posted the pages on my
web site.
“We always try to reunite families as quickly as
possible.” First time
that was recited to me by Mikah McCray gave me encouragement. Each time she reiterated
it to me it became empty, then bitter, and the last time she told
me I gagged on it.
Now I am tricked, literally, into agreeing to take courses
that, as I have been told, will insult my intelligence. I don’t mind. I’ve got the experience of
a septuagenarian but still agree to take the courses that I have
taken before.
Anything, to get my son back.
No one tells me, however, the ‘string’ attached: that I must pay exorbitant
fees to your venders!
Fees I do not have the funds to pay due to Mikah McCray
effecting my bankruptcy with her false charges.
The buck is passed from DHS responsibility to Judge Henry
as he signed the DHS ISP.
My true feelings are that those abbreviations stand for
Department of Human Service Individual Screwing Plot. “Screwing” being a synonym
of extortion/blackmail as defined in Black’s Law Dictionary.
A radically expensive “cure” has been created by DHS for a
“disease” that never existed and does not now exist. If I can’t afford the
“cure” I can not have my natural and only son back home where he
lived happily for five months and where he
belongs.
I was once falsely accused of a crime by perjury on a
probable cause affidavit.
I went to prison four years before the OCCA ruled
“Schoonover has not committed the crime…and could not be charged
with it.”
Mikah McCray has made sure the fact that I was convicted of
a heinous crime made it to Judge Henry’s ears, the County
Attorney’s ears, everyone else, to successfully create extreme
prejudice and discredit my ability to raise my own child, and
ignoring that a jury of twelve ruled Not Guilty once and the OCCA
ruled “Schoonover has not committed the crime.”
3
I have a web site: knightsindirtyarmour.com. In the address bar near
the bottom of the home page is a title, DHSDOGS. That is a detailed account
of all of the events germane to my Only God-given
Son.
It is the only way I can defend myself against the
atrocities being committed and instigated by members of DHS in
Pawnee County. Six years ago I did
not have a website and could not defend myself; thus the four
years in prison for that false charge.
I am a DAV chronic care cardiac patient and do not have
time to waste in prison for this false charge. I do not have the energy
to write another appeal.
Besides, any prison sentence would be fatal. I do not want to have to
write an appeal to the Oklahoma Supreme Court to rule that a minor
one-time insignificant accident is not justification for taking a
son from his father.
Of course, if I were to be sent to prison to die for this
false set of charges that would be moot.
No one would bother to note that the “double jeopardy”
clause is being violated by punishing me twice in Pawnee
County for
the same insignificant incident.
Every day that my son is deprived of his father is damaging
to him. Look at the
photographs on my web site.
The pictures do not lie.
There was no “emergency” as the records I have from the
Cleveland Hospital reflect that their
plan was to send Elan home with me.
My son deserves his genuine father’s bond, love and
care.
I plan on posting this grievance on my site…with your
response.
Respectfully,
John Schoonover

George Johnson, head of
DHS commented when interviewed by Tulsa’s Channel 8 about the day
care murder of 2-year old Joshua Minton:
“Indeed we’ve done things
wrong. But our
primary objective is to protect the children. In certain instances we
have failed. If
anyone has any suggestions how we can do a better job we welcome
the input.”
I have a suggestion: Take quick action on
serious cases and leave innocent insignificant accidents like Elan
Schoonover experienced alone.
Like your licensed Vicki
Chiles, Mikah McCray has done far more damage to Elan than
good. Factually, she
has done him nothing but damage. Fire Mikah
McCray.
