The best interests of the child

The New Zealand family court judiciary think they have the right to steal my Daughter on behalf of her Mother, indefinitely. It has been the most traumatising, painful, intense, bizarre, toxic, expensive, non transparent, experience of my adult life. It is, and has been, an ordeal. It is corruption.

Along with court staff and two contractors (currently), certain members of the judiciary are are trying to pour toxicity into me and provoke me over and over again. It is reasonable to say they are trying to really damage my mental health. The NZ family court has been metaphorically defecating on my Human Rights for almost 2.5 years now as they refuse to accept that my Daughter and I both have the following Human Rights:

Taken from the Care of Children’s Act 2004

(a) a child’s safety must be protected and, in particular, a child must be protected from all forms of violence (as defined in sections 9(2), 10, and 11 of the Family Violence Act 2018) from all persons, including members of the child’s family, family group, whānau, hapū, and iwi:

(b) a child’s care, development, and upbringing should be primarily the responsibility of his or her parents and guardians:

(c) a child’s care, development, and upbringing should be facilitated by ongoing consultation and co-operation between his or her parents, guardians, and any other person having a role in his or her care under a parenting or guardianship order:

(d) a child should have continuity in his or her care, development, and upbringing:

(e) a child should continue to have a relationship with both of his or her parents, and that a child’s relationship with his or her family group, whānau, hapū, or iwi should be preserved and strengthened:

(f) a child’s identity (including, without limitation, his or her culture, language, and religious denomination and practice) should be preserved and strengthened.

My Daughter lived with me very happily, safely, and healthily as a single parent with 50/50 custody share from Oct 2014 – April 2021. She was 18 months of age when her Mother and I separated after a six year relationship. We had drifted apart.

My Daughter was thriving during that time; emotionally, educationally and growing well / normally. The two of us were having a lot of fun together. We were very close. When we see each other we still are.

The family court is carrying out a campaign of sustained emotional violence torture towards my Daughter and myself. This is a violation of the NZ Bill of Rights Act 1990.

In particular, Civil and Political Rights:

8. The right not to be deprived of life

9. Right not to be subjected to torture or cruel treatment

The family court has no respect for my Daughter’s right to not be tortured and my right to not be tortured – neither do the police.

My Daughter has not alleged any emotional or physical harm by me to her. She runs to me every time that she sees me (which is all too infrequently) as she always has in the past when I picked her up from daycare and from school. For over six years.

I have been very wrongly smeared and victimised by draconian Nana State oppressive behaviour. My Daughter loves me very much and wants to be returned to my 50/50 (at the least) care, she has told me so herself. Her safety and wellbeing are not being respected.

My life has been under all-out assault by the family court and the police. There has been a coordinated, very focused, effort to smear my reputation and portray me as someone that I am not. I have been battling to weather a storm of toxic antagonism from the family court and certain members of the police, who are very interested in turning me into what they want me to be – a dangerous and violent person. This has been going on for just under 2.5 years.


Here are some key points:

  • I do not have a criminal history
  • I do not have a history of violence
  • I am not a violent man
  • There is nothing to indicate that I am a dangerous person
  • There is nothing to indicate that I am, or ever have been, a threat to my beautiful little girl’s safety
  • I am not an addict or an alcoholic

In late 2019 my ex wife Jaime Campbell physically assaulted me at our residence in Cambridge, in the Waikato. She filmed the assault on her cellphone (left hand) as she punched me in the balls with her right fist. I was laying on my back on our bed. Very soon after the assault I was able to obtain the video off of Jaime Campbell’s phone (that same evening), I sent the video to my mother and sister that night, and I showed it to the Cambridge police the next day. After giving it 10 minutes thought, I decided not to press a charge at that time. For a number of reasons. I regret that.

Sometime during the following week Jaime Campbell met with the Waikato Police and admitted that she had punched my balls (she used the word “scrotum”). I have a copy of the written police report confirming this statement. The Waikato police did not press an assault charge, despite making a written report of her confession.

On 1 January 2022 I went to Auckland Central Police station and I made a police report and I attempted to press an assault charge. The Waikato police were then assigned responsibility to investigate. I checked on them repeatedly in Feb-March 2022, but as far as I am aware they are still refusing to interview my ex wife. Last I heard the officer in charge said they had too many assaults to investigate.

This has become very difficult for me to reconcile.

Here is a very important reality to consider: when a man gets punched in the balls by his partner, who also films it, do you find that upsetting? Or is your first instinct to laugh?
Now, picture this in your mind’s eye: a woman is laying on her back on their bed and her partner films himself punching her in her labia, does that make you laugh?

I have not physically assaulted anyone. I have not harmed my Daughter. I have not stolen from anyone and I have not broken into anyone’s home. I am not accused of drugs related offending. I am not a member of a gang. I have not physically harmed anyone in any way. So why has the family court attacked my relationship with my Daughter for such a long time? It’s mind-blowingly bizarre. It feels very much like an intensely toxic police and judicial hate-campaign.

My Daughter and I are being persecuted and we are victims of some bizarrely draconian, oppressive, unjust, state behaviour. I keep waiting for it to end, it doesn’t. We have lost so much time together. Supervised visitation has been a nightmare. It is also completely unnecessary and has been the entire time.

There is no justice for Sienna and myself in the family court, only persecution, emotional abuse and gaslighting. I can definitely admit that I am very, very, hurt by this ordeal. I’m sure my Daughter is as well.

She is my Daughter, I am her Father. She loves me and wants to live with me again. That is in her best interests. I love my Daughter and I miss her very much.

This is child abuse. This is corruption. This is Nana State gone crazy.
