A message to the good people of Ashington.
Deep in the heart of your lovely village there exists a deception of the most cruel kind. The complete blanking out and denial of a little girl's Dad. For no reason other than the mother doesn't like him. This mother, Lucy Wieland (or Milner when suits) claims to be acting in the little girl's best interest. But as we shall see, it seems like Lucy is acting only in Lucy's interest, but it is up to each of us to find our own truths. My greatest concern is for my little girl whose name this website bears, my one and only child. My lovely Teagan who I am not allowed to know anything about.
No Dad to protect her. No Dad to enrich her life. No Dad to help with her homework. No Dad to share the wisdoms of life experience. A Dad who would be devoted to his one and only child were he given the slightest chance. But there's nothing for Teagan, and nothing for me. Lucy and the rest of the Wieland family seem to have decided its 'right' to take Teagan for themselves, and in so doing, to cut off an entire half of poor Teagan's family. A little girl loses half her family including her Dad through no fault of her own.
Although I have no direct evidence, I have some hope that at least some of the Wieland family disagree with the senseless theft of Teagan's Dad. Clearly doing nothing is not enough to make that disaproval actually amount to anything. My best chance therefore is tell the story as it is and at least I offer them a chance to reply in the messaging section of this website. I offer the right to reply that they never offered to me.
Now the Wieland family involved all live among your good selves in your lovely village of Ashington. Village communities can be known to exert pressure to do the right thing, to maintain the village's reputation and standing. And hence this section of Teagan's personal website that is dedicated to you, the people of Ashington whom I reach out to for the sake of my little girl. I believe that through our combined efforts we could maybe achieve something wonderful. I have to believe this... I have no other choice.
It is worthy of note that this senseless theft of an innocent child's parent for superficial reasons is only possible because of the hidden-behind-locked-doors culture that we seem to have embraced. In a tribal, or even pre-christian culture, such terrible wrongs could not be committed against children. The children would be looked out for by the rest of the tribe, preventing isolated acts of evil such as this. The children are not belongings, but little people to whom we should be giving the best childhood experience possible. And every child deserves to have a Dad.
What happens when the child whose parent can be so easily stolen grows up to become a parent themselves? I find it hard to accept that such psychological and emotional damage can be so easily and so wilfully dished out by the very people who are meant to protect the innocent young. Parent theft is a form of child abuse and should not be tolerated in my humble opinion.
It has been terrifying how little power I have had to rectify the situation. I have been unable to shine even the faintest light into this dark total blackout deception. Just about any attempt to force even getting a message through to my little girl would be illegal. There is no effective route through the legal process that can right this wrong in time. So I have had to be imaginative and have had to bide my time. To wait until I can legally and effectively get the message through to my little Teagan.
During this wait I have had to miss little Teagan's entire childhood. All the baby steps. All the early attempts to talk. The first days at school. Everything. I have been denied all of it. And by extension so too has Teagan through all this time been denied her Dad with whom she would have shared these precious moments. You can read the whole sequence of events in the History page of this site.
But there is one weakness in the otherwise devastatingly effective total blackout strategy that Lucy and the Wieland family have chosen. It only takes one ray of truth to shine into and illuminate the darkness and this web of deception begins to unravel. For it is now the information age, providing new routes and opportunities for shining light into the darkest of places. I hardly know anything about my little girl, but I was told she likes technology, and I hold a computer science degree, and this is the information age. And so this website became inevitable. A legal means to help an innocent child learn of and make contact with her Dad. A Dad who she has a fundamental right to know.
And now the time has come to bring the factors of light and justice together. Teagan is now just about old enough to be able to find this website, the only link to her Dad. I have put my all into learning and producing this website for I believe that right can prevail over wrong if I (perhaps we) try hard enough. I hope you good people of Ashington share these values too. Ashington is a small village. Some of you will immediately know who I am talking about, and for the rest of you, well it doesn't take long for news and stories to travel round your village does it?
Perhaps this kind of injustice makes you angry? Perhaps you were once a little girl or boy who had a parent stolen for no good reason? Perhaps you just want the right things for the innocent little people? Whichever your positions, you can help if you like. We can find out what community means beyond the easy words.
Is Ashington a village and community to be proud of? Or is it a haven of dirty secrets and terrible deeds against innocent children? It's up to all of us to decide. It's the actions that count, it's the actions that decide. Help me do the right thing for one of your children, one of your community's children. Let's put Ashington on the map for the right reasons. Let our deeds be louder than our words.
Some of you must know the Wieland family. Some of you may have the chance to make Teagan aware of this site or simply make her aware that she has a Dad out there who wishes he was there with her. Some of you may be able to apply pressure in the right places to help right this wrong. If Teagan can simply be made aware of this website, this dot-com domain in her own name, then she will have a link to her Dad she could never forget nor lose.
Even an attempt by Lucy to move far away could not escape the reach of the internet nor break the bond between parent and child. And so with no real escape for the guilty, I call upon your sense of decency to help Teagan and myself in any way you can. It's up to you. I will do my best and I would be eternally grateful if you could do yours. And whether or not you wish to partake, may I humbly ask of you, please wish myself and Teagan luck because it looks like we are both going to need it.
