Open letter to Amikolle’s ‘rents

-->

Amikolle’s Mom;

I am writing to you, to inform you and your husband, that I have changed your names in the writings in my blog, to  something else.

As I heard your husband yelling to Amikolle, that he wanted to sue me for Defamation of Character, I was wondering why since I had not written anything ill about neither of you.  My writings are a telling of a story, that is real and has touched and affected my life as much as yours, and it is a story told from my experiences.  If you think that you don’t want to be part of that story because it degrades your status of what the world can read, that is different.  Nevertheless just to be clear, here is the Definition of Defamation of Character, in case your husband wants to go on and sue me, so he doesn’t waste time and money that he could put willingly into his daughter’s recuperation and medical help:

In law, defamation (also called calumny, libel, slander, and vilification) is the communication of a statement that makes a false claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government or nation a negative image. Slander refers to a malicious, false, and defamatory statement or report, while libel refers to any other form of communication such as written words or images. Most jurisdictions allow legal actions, civil and/or criminal, to deter various kinds of defamation and retaliate against groundless criticism. Related to defamation is public disclosure of private facts which arises where one person reveals information which is not of public concern, and the release of which would offend a reasonable person.” Unlike libel or slander, truth is not a defence for invasion of privacy.

As the definition stands, I never represented your names in a malicious manner, which if I had, would be Slander.  If I had printed my blog to a print media format, it would have been Libel.  My writings are my memories living the experience that has been loosing and recovering Danielle when she has gone out.  As the definition above dictates (taken from the maryland library of law, and from Lexis Nexis, the general bible of Lawyers), truth is not a defence for invasion of privacy means that you can’t accuse me of invasion of privacy because I was writing about the truthful events surrounding the disappearance and recovery of your daughter, and naming places or people that participated in it.

That being said, I have removed your name and your husband from my blog.  I wanted to advice you, that I didn’t do it for neither of you, I did it so you don’t scream anymore to your daughter.  This is the same exact behavior you said it wouldnt happen when she was in recovery.  On a last note, I said good morning to your husband today, and he failed to mention any of this.  Next time if you both have a problem, call me and scream at me in the phone, dont take it off on your daughter.

I am copying your daughter on this email.  Please do not scream at your daughter or take it out on her, this is not her doing, this letter is from me to you and your husband, anything you have to argue, scream or discuss with me, do it to my attention.

Thank you for reading and have a good day.

I dont know the full story here, but from what I have been catching for these past few months, these fuckers dont know how to be parents. With parents like these no wonder Amikolle’s been having addiction problems, those fuckers need a fucking reality check.

She needs to get the fuck away from them, and cut all communication ASAP. They are not parents, they are emotional vampires that are sucking the life out of her.

And in case they read this, you know, when one of your children gets out of the hospital you dont ask them to pay the bills, instead you HELP them without asking anything in return, you fuckers. She is your fucking daughter for gods sake, not a stranger walking down the street!
