Eric Moelter Speaks Against Cindy Dumas Distortion Campaign

Eric Moelter has started to speak up a bit about what has happened in the false sexual abuse and child custody abduction case of Cindy Dumas v. Eric Moelter now that all three boys are living with him once again. He believes their mother Cindy Dumas suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder and has been waging a distortion campaign against him for years.

Believing Cindy Dumas Suffers From BPD Is Rational

Having examined this case and being familiar with BPD and distortion campaigns, I believe Moelter has good reason for his perceptions. I do note for objectivity’s sake that I do not have sufficient visibility into the case to be absolutely sure of any diagnosis. There are many other similar mental health disorders that could lead to some of the behaviors Dumas has exhibited. These include Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder in particular. The diagnostic criteria for these have some significant overlap particularly in behavior patterns involving lying and defamation used to control and manipulate others.

It is not unusual for these other personality disorders to be co-morbid with BPD, nor for distortion campaigns to be waged by people with these other personality disorders. Complicating the problem of dealing with people who have such problems, psychological evaluations often fail to diagnose their mental health problems as was recently discussed in our article Personality Disordered Abusers in Psychological Evaluations.

It is also highly common for people suffering from these disorders to have been abused as children. It would be interesting to hear more about the childhood of Cindy Dumas to see if the typical child abuse pattern associated with these personality disorders is something she also experienced.

Moelter’s Updated Website

You can read what Moelter has to say on his updated website. Although this is a change from his usual near silence, it is completely understandable how person who has been vilified as a child sexual abuser would want to defend himself from such allegations, particularly if they are entirely false as Dumas’s claims strongly appear to be.

Children May Be Damaged More By False Allegations Than Real Abuse

Often the trauma inflicted upon children who are claimed by a divorcing parent to have been physically or sexually abused may far exceed any psychological damage from the alleged incident in the first place, even if something did happen to warrant a concern about possible abuse.

Particularly in cases of alleged sexual abuse, these children are put through months of questioning, blocked from access to a parent who they probably love and miss unless either the abuse was severe or they are being subjected to parental alienation. They are often put through years of abuse, like what Cindy Dumas did to her boys, in efforts to train them to support the claims of the divorcing parent making the accusations. For a young child, this is far more abusive and damaging than almost any common one time physical or sexual abuse could be. And if there was no such abuse originally, as appears to be the case for Damon Moelter and many other children in similar situations, the falsely accusing parent and the government to varying degrees have participated in severely abusing these children and their families.

Cindy Dumas Has Badly Hurt Many People

Although it could perhaps be argued that nobody will ever know for sure what happened regarding the original alleged incident that started this long nightmare for this family, I submit that it long ago stopped mattering. Damon may not even have objective or accurate memories of events from so many years ago when he was so young. His memory by now has been polluted by his mother and all the other people who have spent time prodding and probing his mind for several years.

It appears incontrovertible that even if Damon did experience some distress or confusion because of something his father did (note that I am not implying it was anything wrong or illegal), the psychological damage caused by Cindy Dumas to her sons far surpass anything that could be reasonably anticipated even from what Dumas (in my view falsely) originally accused Moelter of doing. What she’s done to the children, Eric Moelter, and his extended family has in my view reached criminal levels of harassment and abuse. Yet it is unlikely she will ever be prosecuted for her crimes. It would be wonderful if she were held liable in a civil suit for her defamation, but it is unlikely that even a multi-million dollar judgment against her could ever make up for what she has done to her victims.

    There’s a comment on another site linking to this posting that the author is trying to excuse sexual abuse. That’s rubbish. So many of these cases of divorcing moms accusing the dads of child sexual abuse involve the father’s reasonable parenting, or at least nothing that was abusive or illegal, being turned into false accusations. Sometimes nothing at all happened, but more often it was something innocuous or even helpful being distorted maliciously.

    For instance, daddy puts medicine on a kid’s bottom to treat a painful rash.

    Mommy turns that into a false child sexual abuse claim by telling her therapist that her daughter is complaining about her father fingering her privates and hurting her. The therapist as a mandatory child abuser report files a report against the father with CPS.

    CPS “investigates” and asks questions such as:

    Did your daddy touch you down there? yes

    Did it hurt? yes

    How did he touch you? he rubbed me

    Did you tell him to stop? yes

    Now the poor kid is banned from seeing her father who has done nothing wrong. The kid wasn’t traumatized by anything her father did, but she is now being abused by her mother and the government in what will likely be many months or even years of ongoing abuse by the falsely accusing parent.

    That is what happens in many of these cases. The accused is not the abuser, the accuser and the government are the abusers.

    Mr. Moelter should exercise care with his website. I don’t understand why, but some family law judges are intolerant of people who write about the other parent or their case on the Internet, even if only to defend themselves against damaging lies. It seems they think the Internet is used by criminals only.

    Cindy Dumas is a nutcase in most ways. In her web page http://www.savingdamon.com/writ-to-disqualify-alksne.html she says: “Damon had also reported to CPS and the police that his father had abused him on his lap during the day in many places, including the monitored visitation, a taxi, a park, while playing video games, etc.”

    Having seen how monitored visitations work in San Diego, I note that they are often videotaped and always watched by one (or sometimes more) trained people often within just a few feet of the child. It’s not likely that anybody could be abusing a kid under these circumstances without being observed doing it. Accusations like this are what make Borderline mothers look so crazy.

    I will admit Cindy Dumas suffers from severe mental illness, hasn’t any empathy for anyone not even her children, but that does not mean Damon should not be saved from Eric. The father has abused Damon, Cindy knew it long before the divorce but did not care until it benefited her. Cindy Dumas is an Adoptive parent that is part of the system and is part of the problem! When will the courts stop taking these children from REAL parents and stop giving them to these crazy monsters out to get the Adoptive parents checks?

    I for one believe Cindy Dumas and Damon because San Diego Family court appointed guardian ad litem Terence M. Chucas has facilitated sex for the perpetrators in approximately ten various cases that I can recall on an instant. In my own case the first San Diego Family Court appointed guardian ad litem Edlene C. McKenzie stated in her report that my Granddaughter had blood in her panties while living at John & Liss’s day care on Barker Way in San Diego, Neither Edlene nor Terence Chucas would order DNA or any type of investigation of the panties to see if the child was raped by John Liss yet both Guardian ad litem’s recommended the child live with Liss. It can’t be that all these little children are lying and their protective mothers are having personality disorders. The consistency is Terence Chucas placing these children in detrimental environments, so Terry Chucas is the figure with the personality disorder.

    Cindy Dumas has totally lost it. First she claims she is equal to Jesus. She claim Jesus was just like her, fighting injustices. Then She Claims her family are in the CIA. Now She has told she was Obama’s Guest at the White House along with terrorist John Allen Muhammad’s wife. I think the San Diego Family Courts have push this Narcissistic lady over the edge. Look out! She has been diagnosing people with mental Illness via e-mail since she has started taking Psychology.

    Have you seen the crazy attacks on Cindy Dumas’ E-mail list.
    The have began to fight among themselves. Cindy Dumas is obviously paranoid of the FBI. Seems like She would want the FBI to investigate if she is a innocent victim. Cindy Dumas might be paranoid of the FBI because she is afraid she had no problem with the sexual abuse before the divorce. Just when she thought she could use it to her advantage, did she quote “care”. Most foster parents are Foster parents for the money and the “benefits” like sexual abuse or free “slave”. Cindy Dumas is a evil lady. click here to hear what king of people support Truthbrigade and Cindy Dumas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9u27ui4P-4

    @Unhappy Target
    Judges that operate in obscurity are the judges that do the most harm. They are public servants in public positions subject to public ridicule which is so necessary. Let the light shine. It could be you being victimized.

    @Celeste Cortes
    Maybe another time I’ll be ready to laugh at these events, but for now, laughter is not good medicine for me. After 18 years, I still hurt from the manipulation and grieve for my loss.

    There may be corrupt judges but Alksne got it right in this case. Dumas appealed to the San Diego appellate court and it rejected her request to have Alksne’s ruling overturned. The Court did a good job of summarizing the entire tragedy this family has suffered at the hands of Dumas – clearly suffering from borderline personality disorder (not to mention the ongoing, enormous amounts of money wasted at taxpayer expense.

    One good litmus test for attorneys, therapists and judges in these types of cases is is the parent doing what’s in the best interest of the children. If not, it’s a good sign that parent is the abusive one.
