Topic: Child abuse/neglect involving addicts who are parents

Organization: Federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Informant/Victim/Witness

Topic Description: Based on my own personal experiences, nobody in local, state, or federal government care about children when they become victims of child abuse/neglect by their parents, when the parents are narcotics addicts engaged in organized crime and racketeering.

I attempted to report child abuse/neglect in February 1990 to the Michigan Department of Social Services in order to obtain government intervention to protect a baby who was being exposed to heroin and cocaine by it's "mother". That department failed to abide by the state child abuse reporting laws.

After that government agency violated state laws, i turned to federal law enforcement to report the child abuse/neglect as well as the "mother's" criminal activities and the criminal activities of her associates. They were all involved in organized crime and racketeering and were engaged in operating a criminal enterprise out of a public bar in Detroit's Cass Corridor ( a ghetto ) called Jumbo's Bar.

Jumbo's Bar was a prostitution front for organized crime that was protected by vice and narcotics detectives from the Detroit Police Department's 13th Precinct during the 1980's and 1990's until it was padlocked in the summer/fall of 1993.

Federal law enforcement went on to gross over $10 million in asset forfeitures as a result of the criminal intelligence I provided to their agencies when I reported the child abuse/neglect concerning the baby and the "mother's" criminal activities.

I ended up homeless and bankrupt due to federal law enforcement's failure to halt the "mother's" extortion of myself in regards to my protecting the health and welfare of the baby. Federal law enforcement allowed the "mother" and some of her associates, to continue their criminal activities which supported their narcotics addictions to heroin and cocaine. Those agencies became "accessory after the fact" to the crimes that were committed before I became a federal informant, and they became "accesory before the fact" to the crimes those narcotics addicts ("sociopaths") would commit after I began informing on them to federal law enforcement.

The murder of Army Specialist Anthony Riggs resulted in March 1991, after I had informed ( in February 1991 ) five different federal law enforcement agencies of the criminal activities of the "mother's" pimp and his associates, who were engaged in the illegal sale of handguns on the "streets" to finance their addictions.

Federal law enforcement did not attempt to intervene or halt the criminal activities of these persons between February 1990 and March 1991.

I never received any form of protection during the time I sought the arrets and prosecution of these addicts for their roles in the commission of state and Federal offenses which I had been reporting to federal law enforcement as a informant/victim.

My name appears in a Detroit Free Press newspaper article which was published on December 5, 1992. That article desribed the R.I.C.O. indictments released by a federal grand jury that targeted some of the persons I had informed on. The "mother's' ex-pimp - Ronnie Hudson ( a.k.a. "Fleet" ) was one of the targets of that indictment and he was convicted of racketeering in July 1993 and sentenced to 20 years by Ann Arbor U.S. District Court Judge George Laplatta. That case number is : CR-92-90018-AA-Laplatta.

In 1992, I began informing government officials in Washington, DC to the illegal conduct by the federal law enforcement agencies I had informed to. I contacted former President George Bush, the Inspector General at the Department of the Treasury, and F.I.N.C.E.N. in 1992. In 1993, I wrote another letter to President William Clinton and contacted Micael Shaheen at the Office of Professional Responsibilty within the Department of Justice, Attorney General Janet Reno, Treasury Secretary Llyod Bentsen, the I.R.S. commissioner, and filed a written criminal complaint against federal law enforcement with the U.S. Attorney's office in Detroit, Michigan.

The Executive Branch began a conspiracy to Obstuct Justice and one of the agencies i had associated with as a federal informant, had me arrested on a false charge on December, 14, 1994 in order to halt my attempts to seek their arrest and prosecution for their participation in the commission of Federal offenses whci I had been making known to government officials in Washington, DC since 1992.

The Executive Branch has engaged in a massive conspiracy to Obstuct Justice by violating Title 18 U.S. Code Chapter 73 sections 1512 (tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant) and 1513 (retaliating against a witness, victim, or an informant). These are two predicate acts which can be prosecuted as R.I.C.O. offenses contained within Title 18 U.S. Code Chapter 96 Sections 1962(d) R.I.C.O. conspiracy; 1961 (b) 1512 and 1513.

Federal law enforcement also violated Title 42 U.S. Code Sections 1983, 1985, and 1986 by obstucting my civil rights in regards to my seeking equal protection under Michigan State laws for myself as a victim and also for the baby, who was protected as a class of persons under the Michigan Child Proection Law. They also violated the Federal child abuse reporting laws contained in Title 42 U.S. Code Section 13031 and title 18 U.S. Code Section 2258 when they failed to forward my reports of child abuse/neglect as rewuired by law.

I presently have two civil actions pending in the Detroit U.S. District Court against the federal law enforcement agencies that formed a civil rights conspiracy and R.I.C.O. conspiracy which victimized myself as a person who should have been protected under Public Law 97-291 - the "Vitim and Witness Protection Act of 1982" ( Title 18 U.S. Code Chapter 73 sections 1512 and 1513 ).

I am litigating the civil actions as a pro-se, as I have been unable to find any attorney who has a clue to the laws mentioned above. Presently, I am engaged in appealing a court order by a federal judge who has violated Section 1512 in her attempt to Obstuct Justice by "delaying, hindering, and preventing" my enjoining a civil action to a similar civil action whcih was being heard by another judge, who had scheduled a trial to commence on April 7, 1998 in regards to that civil action.

All this information and much more, is contained on my two web-sites located at TRIPOD and at www.BobKarolRICO-INFORMANT.com.

I have absolutely no faith in the Judicial Branche's ability to hold the executive branch responsible for their role in these criminal conspiracies which violated state and Federal laws.

The public may never find out about this "mess" because the media is controlled by the corporations in this country who run the government.

If you think all of this is some "sick joke", then contact the court clerk at the Detroit U.S. District Court and ask them to check case # Cv-96-75504-DT-HOOD and CV-96-75652-DT-EDMUNDS. The U.S. Appeals Court for the 6th Circuit ( in Cinciannti, Ohio ) has my appeal on file in regards to case # 98-1096. Feel free to contact that court's clerk ( Lenoard Green ) also.

Judge Denise Page Hood has been in the process ( since November 24, 1997 ) of deciding whether or not, I can add President Clinton, former President Bush, Attorney General Janet Reno, former Treasury Secretary Llyod Bentsen, and others as defendants to my civil action pending before her.

I expect that every effort will be made to suppress my attempts to seek justice through the courts in regards to my being a victim of violent crime.

Sinceley yours, Robert G. Karol
