Joseph Carley probably never had a chance. The only and
much desired child of medical whistleblower extraordinaire,
Dr. Rebecca Carley, he became a pawn in a game to destroy
his mother's career and her efforts to expose the dangers of
vaccinations and other government programs.

Rebecca Carley wanted a family. She was forty-two years old,
on her second marriage and her "biological clock" was definitely
ticking. She had come from a lower middle class family and had
made it up the educational rungs to graduate from medical school
on her own accomplishments, not family reputation or money.
After graduating from the SUNY Downstate, she began to research
fetal echocardiography, which resulted in the publication of a
groundbreaking article in the Journal of Clinical Ultrasound,
June 1981 (Vol. 9, p. 223-229). At that point, her entrance into
the exclusive ranks of medical students became a slam-dunk.
She graduated with honors from SUNY Health Science Center at
Brooklyn in 1987.

Early on in her career as a surgeon, she became aware that
things weren't quite right with the "white coats." She began
to separate herself from the flock, and started a public access
show in New York in 1997, entitled "What's Ailing America?"
She covered such topics as vaccine induced diseases, police
corruption and corruption in the courts.

But she wanted a family, and ended up investing tens of
thousands of dollars in fertility treatments. When Joey was
born in 1996, she was overjoyed.

Her marriage, however, was in trouble. She soon separated
from her husband, Michael Carley, who had become physically
abusive to her. It should be noted that Rebecca Carley states
that Michael started the physical abuse when Joey was only six
months old, stating "he did not want me to do these shows."
It was on Father's Day, of 1999 when her son was raped and
sodomized, apparently by his own father.

As usual, Rebecca picked up Joey from his father that day.
Her son, then aged three, began to complain that his father had
"punched me" in the butt, and had "stuck a magic marker up"
his butt. Alarmed, Rebecca turned on the video camera.

The footage shows Joey Carley, obviously traumatized and
terrified, telling his mother that he was assaulted by
his father. Rebecca took her son to the emergency room,
only to find the doctor on call indifferent and incompetent.
The rape kit was thrown into the garbage and never evaluated.
Concerned that the doctor was not adequately documenting the
assault, Rebecca took one photograph of her son's rear, showing
contusions around the area. It was this act of documenting
the abuse that was used to sever Rebecca from her son.

Rebecca Carley had already encountered "misbehavior" by the
justice system when she had attempted to get the police to
protect her from her violent spouse. The first time she called
the police, they showed up and asked her "what she did to upset"
her abusive husband, shifting the onus of responsibility
on to the victim. In June of 1998, according to Rebecca,
the police finally arrested him when he beat her up in front
of her young son; in that instance, she had visible bruising.
The District Attorney, Dennis Dillon (more on him later) dropped
all charges against Michael Carley. He also was later to drop
all charges against Michael Carley for allegedly raping his
own son, even though Michael failed the polygraph.

Child Protective Services paid a visit to Rebecca and her
son the morning after the hospital visit, along with Sex
Crimes Detective Meehan. Later that day Rebecca took Joey
to his private pediatrician, Dr. Monica Melamedoff, who also
documented Joey's anal abrasions, as well as a red throat
and a rectal irritation. Joey also told Dr. Melamedoff that
"Daddy stuck a magic marker" in his buttock.

CPS Agent Wilkins informed Dr. Carley on Wednesday, June
23, 1999 that there would be a hearing in Family Court at
two p.m. to address Michael Carley's actions. She showed up
without an attorney, and was informed that the neglect hearing
was about her, not Mr. Carley. Judge Lawrence determined
that her actions of taking the photograph was "bizarre" and
further deemed that since the visitation was "supervised" (and
it was not supervised), no sexual abuse could have occurred.
Mention was made of Dr. Carley's views against vaccinations.

Rebecca Carley was subsequently charged with child abuse
and child neglect for the act of taking one photograph of
her child's buttocks. Nassau County Judge Richard Lawrence
ignored the fact that, as a mandated reporter for child
abuse, Dr. Carley was operating within the law by taking one
photograph to support her claims of abuse, and proceeded to
find her guilty as charged.

As it turned out, this one photograph was the only one in focus
of Joey's wounds. All the photographs taken by Dr. Sofola
at Nassau County Medical Center were out of focus and thus
not admissible as evidence, and neither was, of course, the
discarded rape kit.

Dr. Carley was able to achieve a protective order against
Michael Carley, granted by the Judge. However, her own
attorney, Mr. Cammarata, then went against Dr. Carley's
wishes and in Lawrence's court on July 29, 1999, agreed to
start visitation with the father while the order of protection
was in effect. After Mr. Cammarata acted against Joey's best
interests, he then informed the court that he would not be able
to represent Dr. Carley any further, on the bizarre grounds
that he used the same pediatrician as his client.

Judge Lawrence was later to incarcerate Dr. Carley for criminal
contempt for her telling the judge not to yell at her. Judge
Lawrence also refused to allow Joey to be evaluated by a sex
abuse validator and refused to refer the case to the DA for
prosecution, even after the foster mother filed an affidavit
with the court revealing that Joey had also told her that his
father had raped him.

The foster mother, Ruth Porcaro, provided the court a clear
and concise statement of what Joey Carley told her had
happened to him at the hands of Michael Carley, as well her
own observations: "When Joseph first came to my home he was
traumatized," she wrote in a statement to Family Court of Nassau
County on September 1, 1999. She reported Joey as saying to
her, "My Daddy hurt my butt," and "My daddy punched my butt,"
and other, more graphically disturbing statements.

Rebecca Carley's divorce from Michael Carley was granted on
the basis that he abused her. Nevertheless, on October 4,
2000, Judge Lawrence placed Joey Carley into the custody of
Michael Carley, whom Joey Carley claims sexually assaulted him.
Judge Richard Lawrence put the abused child into the hands of
the abuser, and continued to sit on the bench and to decide
the fate of other families at risk.

But Rebecca Carley is a fighter, and she wasn't going to give
up that easily. She took the case to appeals, where she (and
Joey) again lost.

Sharon Commissiong, Deputy Majority Counsel of Nassau County
Legislature, wrote a letter to Elliot Spitzer, who was State
Attorney General at that time, declaring that this case
needed his investigation. In an act consonant with his moral
turpitude, Spitzer turned around and moved to dismiss Rebecca
Carley's federal civil rights lawsuit against Judge Lawrence.

During a supervised visit with Joey in October of 2003,
he began to cry and beg her to help him. Immediately, her
visits with Joey were pulled by Nassau Supervised Visitation.
Shortly thereafter, she was accused of telling her son to have
sexual contact with Michael Carley.

She took her story to the airwaves, and in late summer of 1999,
she went onto her public access television show and disclosed
what had happened to her and her son. District Attorney Denis
Dillon (who previously cut Michael Carley loose from abuse
charges) then forwarded a copy of her show to the New York
Medical Board, who initiated proceedings against Dr. Carley to
have her medical license revoked. The charges? That she had a
"delusion of conspiracy."

We have seen, in the cases of Eric Shine, Susan Lindauer
and other whistleblowers exactly the same forces at work.
If a person should fall victim to collusion by state agencies
and is robbed of his/her rights and should then have the
courage to protest against this, that person is often charged
with being "paranoid" or having a "conspiracy mindset."

Curiously, at the very time that Rebecca Carley was fighting
for her son's safety, a law was introduced into the New York
State Assembly addressing a similar issue. Law 542 made it
mandatory for the Board for Professional Medical Conduct to
notify law enforcement of alleged criminal offenses, should
the Board receive complaints of a criminal nature. This law
was introduced due to reports, received by the Board in 1999,
that a prominent pediatric neurologist, Dr. Phillip Riback,
was allegedly sexually abusing children. The Board did not
disclose this to the police, and it was not until 2002, when
a parent of one of the allegedly abused children brought the
matter directly to the police, that the doctor was arrested
and charged. Riback was sentenced to 48 years in prison,
on twenty-eight counts of sexually abusing boys. The new
law substantially expanded the understanding that medical
practitioners, including the Board for Professional Medical
Conduct, have an ethical and legal necessity to report crimes
of sexual abuse. This fact also provides troubling questions
as to how Dr. Carley could have been charged with abuse for
her act of documenting the abuse of her own son.

Richard Lawrence, who lost his seat on the bench in a recent
election, is now practicing law in Merrick, New York. In an
interview on June 17, 2008, he declined to explain any of his
actions to this reporter, stating he was disallowed by the
"canon of ethics" to comment on his decision.

It has been five years since Dr. Rebecca Carley has seen
her son. Her radio shows are now aired on BBS radio, which
is Internet, and on Republic Broadcast Network, which is
both Internet and also aired on thirty terrestrial stations.
She has become a potent voice in the outcry against forced
vaccinations, and through her diligent research, she has been
able to reverse many autoimmune diseases caused by vaccines.

This past Mother's Day found Rebecca Carley in the company
of friends. It was a day of sorrow for her, not rejoicing.
Her voice, which is the voice of wisdom and protest, has become
very strong. However, she knows that her own son has fallen
prey to the very forces that she speaks so powerfully against.
And while she attempts to inform and protect all of us from
the dangers of the shadow government, she has paid the highest
price for her courage.
