Joseph Pilgrim

THIS LETTER IS FROM JOSEPH PILGRIM. IN FEBRUARY 2023, JOSEPH PILGRIM WAS ARRESTED FOR ALLEGEDLY BREAKING HIS WIFE MARY PILGRIM CELL PHONE. HE AND HIS WIFE WERE HAVING MARITAL PROBLEMS AND SHE HAD ALREADY MADE SEVERAL POLICE REPORTS AGAINST HIM CLAIMING HE WAS A DANGER TO HER AND THEIR CHILDREN THEIR 11 MONTH OLD SON OMNI AND THEIR FOUR-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER AMAZING. JOSEPH LOVED HIS WIFE, BUT MARRIED HER QUICKLY BECAUSE MARY WAS A HAITIAN NATIONAL WHOSE VISA HAD EXPIRED AND NEITHER ONE OF THEM WANT HER TO GET DEPORTED. MARY HAD ALREADY THREATENED TO LEAVE HIM AND TO TAKE HIS KIDS SO HE BELIEVED THAT ONE OF THE REASONS THAT SHE WA LYING TO GET CUSTODY OF THE KIDS, LEAVE HIM AND STILL GET HER GREEN CARD BECOMING A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIM HAS THE SHERIFF AND FASTEST WAY TO ACCOMPLISH ALL THREE GOALS. DESPITE THIS AND PRIMARILY FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CHILDREN, JOSEPH WANTED TO KEEP HIS FAMILY TOGETHER. HE FELT THE OTHER REASONS FOR HIS WIFE'S BEHAVIOR WAS THAT SHE WAS EXPERIENCING DEEP DEPRESSION AND WAS POSSIBLY SUFFERING FROM BIPOLAR DISORDER FOR HIS OWN SAFETY HE BEGAN TO VIDEO RECORD HER WHEN SHE WAS HAVING WHAT HE CALLED AN EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN OR EPISODE ON THE DAY OF HIS ARREST IN FEBRUARY 2023 DURING ONE OF HER EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWNS HE RECORDED, HER BREAKING HIS PHONE AND THEN HER OWN. AFTER BREAKING BOTH THEIR PHONES she ran out of the apartment to the police station a block away and stated that Joseph had broken her phone and threatened to hurt her and the kids when the police arrive Joseph showed them the video and although it clearly showed Mary had broken both of their phones, detective moon of the 108th present in Long Island city Queen stated that because she claimed Joseph has threatened to harm the children. He still had to be arrested. Officer Moon then stated to Joseph that because of the video evidence of Mary breaking the phone that once Joseph return from court, he could give a statement and have Mario arrested. Joseph told Officer Moon that his wife needed help not to be arrested and refused to give a statement against her. Nevertheless, because of his arres, they were restraining order was automatically issued barring him from returning home or coming in contact with his wife and his children. Ignoring the restraining order, Joseph went back home stating that there was no way he would leave his children, but upon his return, he found that an ACS administration for children's services investigation has been launched, and that he and his family would be investigated for 60 days. Joseph showed the ACS caseworkers Mrs. chamber the video and informed her of his wife's depression and possible mental disorder, and requested if he could have Mary evaluated for everyone safety. Miss Chambers told him that unless Mary consented to a psychological evaluation that there was nothing she could do and Mary would not cons after the 60 day investigation was done ACS determined that there were no finance of neglect or abuse and that the family was free to go about their lives. Unfortunately, though the restraining order was never vacated and in June, less than two months after the investigation, Marie called the police again. After a minor verbal disagreement, Marie call the police and ask the police to come and arrest him for being in the house and violating the restraining order. Joseph hearing repeated warnings from family and friends of the danger of being with Marie had already decided to leave and had filed a joint custody petition family court so when she made the 911 call, he simply stated that he was leaving and promised her he would never return again. Joseph went into the room pack some things then went to leave, but Marie stopped him to hold him there until the police arrived. Joseph did admit that when he went to move her out of the way that there was a minor altercation, but once again, Marie stated he had a gun. He assaulted her and threatened to kill her and the kids. Surely after his arrest, the case was dismissed in criminal court as frivolous due to lack of evidence, but ACS and family court charged him with neglect. Not knowing that you cannot make a determination of neglect from a single alleged domestic incident that was eventually dismissed, even though he knew he did nothing wrong and would never under any circumstances abuse or neglect his kids. His own family court appointed attorney and the ASC caseworker lied to him and under coercion and arrest. Explain to him that the fastest way to get his kids back was to agree to have the court provide per parent in class, domestic violence, classes, and anger, management classes, and after six months he would get his kids back again, not knowing the law and believing that your lawyer is actually working on your behalf he was tricked into consent and just so he could get his children that they had taken from him. Joseph was placed on a child negligent registry and issued a new restraining order, barring him from any interaction with Omni and amazing except for one hour once per week visitation supervised by an ACS caseworker in a small room made of concrete and metal with a metal table and chair and welder shut windows which he complained was to promote a prison like institution environment, which sent a psychological message to the children that quotation time with daddy was punitive. And quotation he was also under a court order of family court judge Eleanor Reid Cherry to have his to have an interaction with his children evaluated by PhD psychologist Felicia Ivory Tourie. Dr. Tourie monitor Joseph, Omni and Amazing for two months as well as Marie and after that time she sent her evaluation point to Judge Cherry. The report stated clearly that Joseph, Omni, and amazing were bonded to each other. She stated that the one year-old boy and four year-old girl opened up and were more confident around their father, indicating that they felt safe and protected in his presence. She stated that Joseph was of sound mind and adequate intelligence, and that he had genuine care and concern for the overall well-being and emotion and psychological development of his children, which was the exact opposite of what Marie was so adamantly, describing trying to convince Judge Terry and ACS, which was that he was a danger to the children and that they were petrified of him. On the other hand, Dr. Tourie reported to Judge Sherry, that Marie the children's mother was in fact, psychologically abusive to the children, that amazing showed signs of insecurity, fear, and sadness in the mother's presence. The report stated that Marie was insensitive to the psychological emotional and developmental needs of the children, and that she was discontinuing the sessions until Marie took parenting classes, and received a psychological evaluation. Dr. Tourie concluded that Joseph was actually the only fit parent and that he should be put on unsupervised visitation. For Joseph, it was a victory. He felt that a doctor evaluated and said what he has been trying to explain all along, which was Marie needs help. Please help my wife and that he was a great dad. After all, he was 56 years old, he had already raised two children. His oldest son Thomas was 25 at this time and his oldest daughter and first born joella was 31. If he didn't neglect children, he had in his 20s why would he wait until he was in his 50s to all of a sudden have children and start neglecting them. Nevertheless, his victory was short-lived. Judge Cherry ignored and suppressed the only piece of actual admissible evidence in the entire case was substantiated his fitness as a parent. Joseph became furious. He completed and got certificates in all the classes he gave them clean urinal analysis exam to show that he did not use drugs. He never miss one visit with his children, and everyone saw and reported that the children loved their father that they were happy and fun and felt safe in his presence. Even the court requested PhD evaluation recommendation on supervised visitation, and they refused to allow him to spend time with his children in a normal family environment, still stating he was a danger to them. To this day, 3 1/2 years after the initiation of the case, Joseph claims he has had no more than 70 hours of visitation with his children, which averages out to about one day of bonding time per year. He missed his son's first steps first words, every birthday, Christmas time that cannot be replaced. Moments with amazing and a feeling that he left his little girl unprotected. What are the psychological ramifications or effects on the children long-term, they are all well documented. How can you do this to a one year-old boy and a four-year-old girl and persist that you are very existence is for the best interest of the child? Joseph had seen and heard enough. He filed a 19 8342 USC complaint and federal court against ACS and the judge Cherry for conspiracy. Yes, conspiracy to deprive him of his paternal rights, child engagement for not reporting the abuse, judicial misconduct, and bias for the one-sided treatment in favor of Marie, suppression of evidence for suppressing the doctors report along with other charges. Joseph went for the jugular he wanted them all the thrones, and in prison, for what he felt were crimes committed to his minor children, his babies as he put it. He went into family court and read each count out loud for everyone to hear conspiracy suppression of evidence child endangerment judicial misconduct. He looked judge directly in her eye and said lady you were going to jail! He became blatantly disrespectful to her to her act from pure emotion, no longer considering the consequences or the power of judge has to make decisions that impact his life and the lives of army and amazing. All rise the honorable judge Cherry presiding the court officer would announce only to Joseph's objection no no no sit down everyone she is no judge. She operates in dishonor. She's going to jail. In hindsight, Joseph realize how foolish he behaved how naïve he was of the unadulterated power of judge has the judicial immunity they operate under giving them the ability to conduct themselves In honor or dishonor with legality or legality without consequences. Joseph would now find out. At the one year mark of the initiation of this case in June 2024 Joseph and Marie had actually began communicating again Marie sister Gina reached out to Joseph because amazing was graduating kindergarten and wanted her father there. Jose met up and spoke, and he discovered that Marie was tired stating that the kids needed their father and that she wanted to ask the judge to remove the order of protection for the summer. Marie was working full-time and attending school so she asked Joseph if he could keep the kids during the week and and give to her on the weekends. They both agree not to tell ACS or the court because they both saw and disgusted their tactics and methods of operation. The restraining order was still in place and if Marie became a respondent, then they could take the children and place them in foster care and they both felt traumatized enough. Joseph, I'm an amazing were in heaven. Marie lives with her sister in a two bedroom apartment so Omni amazing and Marie shared a room, but at Joseph's apartment things were different. Joseph specifically and strategically rented a three bedroom apartment in a wonderful safe neighborhood to show the courts the advantages the children would have under his care. He decorated the kids room with erasable color marker wallpaper so that they could draw on the walls. He brought a human size stuffed teddy bear. Omni a tent bed an amazing a Minnie mouse canopy bed filled with all their toys from the old apartment. It was the most amazing magical loving time Joseph. I'm an amazing could have wish for. Amazing kept repeating I'm going to live with my dad. She was happy to see her parents getting along. Mary and Joseph went to court together, which technically violated the restraining order or the divide and conquer order as dose of called it, and told judge Cherry on the record that she wanted to remove the order of protection. Then left the court to take the children to their doctors appointment. Joseph had to stay for the hearing on the neglect case and once he left Maurice court appointed attorney convinced her not to remove the order of protection. Joseph believed they coheres her stating that she could go to jail for perjury. She could lose the kids and even get deported. They needed to keep us apart under all circumstances or their case would fall apart, and it would be easier win in the federal conspiracy case against Judge Terry. Joseph moment in heaven was short-lived when on July 22 at 10:30 PM when I'm an amazing we're already in bed. Marie came banging on the door. Joseph stated she was having another episode. She opened the door and she ran up the stairs, screaming at him to give her her kids. He tried to calm her down, but he so he calmed the call to amazing amazing mom here come put on your clothes. Amazing got up and Joseph picked up Omni to hand her to Marie and she ran down the stairs and called the police. Joseph owned a marketing and business development company he operated from his home.said she was in full episode mode. One of his employees Carlos was working late that night and he asked Carlos to bring the kids downstairs to her. Once downstairs with the kids, she stood outside in the rain and waited for the police to come and gave them her statement that took about an hour then they left. The police never question Joseph the next morning at 6 AM Marie call Joseph and accuse him of beating Omni and bruising his head. He recorded the conversation to use as evidence because she kept suggesting that she was with a group of people and that they were all going to the police with her to report the abuse she was talking to them as if they were in the room with her. At that point, Joseph become saddened feeling that his relationship with his wife and his hopes of raising his children with both their parents were gone. But things were about to get worse. On September 23 of 2024 ACS caseworker Peter Lane informed him that he had filed an order of protection restraining order violation petition against him and just Jerry signed it once Jerry signed in admissible petition, she canceled visitation petition, stated that he went to a park with his wife, was playing with his son and spoke to her, which violated the restraining order. I didn't say he threatened, frighten intimidated, or attempted to harm her only that he ask her to reconcile then on the following day, he went to amazing school and gave his daughter a hug. Judge Cherry sentenced 10 to 15 months of imprisonment at Ryker's Island correctional facility at the hearing Joseph brought two witnesses to testify to his whereabouts on the alleged dates but Judge Jerry made them leave the courtroom. Joseph requested that she subpoenaed the cell phone records of him and Marie. Just Jerry ignored his request at another proceeding Joseph brought three more witnesses to testify on his behalf, and she had the courtroom surrounded by 9 Arm court officers with one blocking the door. She never allowed them to testify, but during the break, one of the witnesses never returned out of fear of his safety. Joseph and added obstruction of justice and witness tampering to the federal case, but he had submitted several motions to his federal case and had gotten no response from the federal court, judge. He went to the Supreme Court and filed an article 78 petition which simply stated produce one shot of evidence that he neglected his children or dismissed the case, and that petition and denial he began to realize that the unified court system was in fact unified, and once he threatens cherry, no matter how much evidence he had in his favor, no matter how much she violated his children or acted under color of law no judge is going to go against one of their own. The only evidence day had, even judge Jerry wouldn't allow it in the case. Peter Lane the caseworker had interrogated amazing, a five-year-old little girl who loves her father illegally by the very caseworker who was supposedly assigned to protect her. He's going to use her testimony to incarcerate her own father. During the hearing Peter Lane, tried to enter amazing statement and judge Sherry would allow it. Joseph then added intentional allocation of emotional harm to a minor child to a CS. His case still didn't budge. No one responded in over under 20 days. Motion for default judgment, federal judge just ignored him with. Without any evidence at all one the merit of the in admissible violation, petition judge Terry found him guilty and now for the next 15 months, he will be in prison after the hearing. He was supposed to be sentenced at the next court date, but she has a surprise if evidentiary hearing to satisfy the Supreme Court article 78 petition. After 2 1/2 years of torture, she now attempted to create the evidence of neglect and enter new evidence in the form of Marie new testimony that all of a sudden Joseph have been beating her since before amazing was born. Now he beat her while she was pregnant with amazing., he beat her when amazing was an infant, he threatened to kill them with his gun. All of this was needed to establish a pattern of abuse in order to even consider an actual neglect. The article 78 petition Joseph filed in Supreme Court said, produce evidence or dismiss the case. And they fabricated stories to create a pattern to secure a guilty verdict. But they never even acknowledge Joseph at evidence Joseph did a Foyil request to obtain every police report. Mary ever filed against him out of eight in total, no crime committed one criminal misconduct for breaking her phone, which she has video evidence that she broke and one alleged assault dismissed as frivolous with the first one starting in 2022 and the last in 2024. All in contradiction of her actual testimony and what the police reported. When Joseph cross examined her the court adjourned the police report were ignored, and the judge cherry concluded the hearing without allowing the completion of the cross examination and again found him guilty with no evidence. She extended the order for protection to five years and after she rented all decisions and all matters, the federal case was dismissed as mute. The federal course judge delayed until Judge Terry rendered her decision. Rendering the federal court against her moot with the five-year order of protection in place, amazing will have unsupervised visits with her dad once she turns 12 years old. She's now seven and has been betting her mom and the ACS caseworkers to see her dad. Omni will be nine years old growing up completely without his father who loves him so much. Joseph has literally came the stuff that movies are made of. He believed in the justice system until. He experienced at first hand the first year he spent crying and agony for the loss of his children. The second year he been fighting and growing ill from the stress and the emotion of poison of the resentment, anger, and the desire for revenge eating away at his nervous system. He knew that he had to pull himself together and out of his sense of despair and hopelessness. He started reading the Bible and began to pray for the people who conspired against him, fabricated, evidence, falsely accused and persecuted him just to keep his sanity. Then he had a great idea. He decided to write a series of children's book fashion after his daughter's name and imagine which he titled amazing amazing adventures and educational children. Book series were amazing. Takes her friends and classmates on historical adventures back in time to learn of the achievements and contributions of people of African dissent within society. He also created a YouTube channel to post cartoon versions of each book. Omni an amazing cartoon channel. It was a way for him to continue to love them every day and to show amazing how much he loved her and her brother even in his absence amazing saw the YouTube channel and her website amazing amazing adventures.com and loved it. it gave Joseph a sense of peace today Joseph is still doing battle with the court system. He is now serving his time on Rikers Island, but he just submitted a petition to the Bronx Supreme Court judge Bowen to reassess him for unlawful imprisonment. He still getting tactical delays and resistance, even though there's no opposition. The Bronx has your addiction over Rikers Island, which is why his rip of habeas corpus is there. The district attorney cannot be opposing attorney because Joseph has not committed, been accused or even charged with a crime so the state Attorney General Latika, James, or an attorney from the Attorney General's office must appear oppose his argument, but again she has not appeared in over four appearances. The judge says he tried to contact the office but got no response because there is no state court order sentencing him to prison . Joseph submitted a motion for default judgment, which she is entitled to do after 21 days of no contest. It's been over 60 days. Now the judge is requesting transcripts as opposed to granting the rip on default judgment with Joseph Fields is just another star tactic to protect Judge Terry and the unified court system. There are an overwhelming amount of due process violations in Joseph case with several other reason to judge can release him. With the authority that has and has had for months, he could release Joseph with the stroke of a pen and reunite a daughter and son to their father's love, but that would be a loss for them. A victory for Joseph as a victory for everyone except judge Cherry and the unified court system which like any other organization will do whatever you can to save itself. Now that Joseph is in prison, he has heard the stories of prisoners who directly identify with his situation. He feels the only way he can even win a battle for his children against the unit fight court system would be if the people stood up with him. He heard Erik's injustice, Stevens and Justice, Igor's injustice and Carlos's injustice, Myandes injustice and others. Within his pain was 33 pains are within their pain. They knew there were thousands of other suffering from that same pain. Not just fathers but mothers wife, children, and families. Within their pain and suffering right on unit two upper of the whacker is M EMTC building. A movement has been born and they screamed it as loud as they could free the Ryker seven now.
