Another Unanswered Plea for Help
Dear Judge Person,
I’ve tried repeatedly to reach you, but your assistant says I can’t speak with you. I just want to make sure you know what has happened and that we need your help.
I spoke with the Mayor’s office today after posting a blog as to how Shelby County has harmed my family. They suggested I try again to reach out to you directly since this is your jurisdiction. I am praying you will take the time to read this..
28 years ago you were a Referee in Shelby County, and you signed Docket #32663, making your recommendations based off a circuit court hearing that established paternity of a Mr. Charles Lust. Charles Lust was an 18 years old man, living in Rhode Island, when this order was sent to Vital Statistics that recommended his name be changed to Charles Bell. Vital Statistic sealed his original birth certificate.
Shelby County Juvenile Court failed to notify Charles, his parents, or social security of this name change. Because no one knew of this name change, Charles has lived for 46 years as Charles Edward Lust. He has two sons, Jeremiah Lust and Zachary Lust, that share his last name.
We’ve tried for 18 months to find a way to fix this. We live in Florida, and can not do a legal name change based upon a few things.
Birth certificate is under the name Bell, and according to all legal matters, he was never Charles Bell. (Birth Certificate under the name Bell never created).
Already fingerprinted threw The Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System as Charles Edward Lust for his job.
Must have a valid form of ID to submit to fingerprinting, which Charles does not have.
Birth certificate name and social security name does not match.
No legal form of Identification proving he is Charles Bell or Charles Lust.
We are a family, we have worked hard to make sure that should something happen to one of us the kids are protected. If Charles dies, I will not be able to get a death certificate, life insurance, social security or anything else to help provide for my kids.
Charles can’t drive, can’t prove who is, can’t get on a plane, can’t vote, can’t get a new bank card, can’t pick up his kids from school…. Charles CAN’T do a lot of things.
How would you feel if this happened to your family?
I am asking you to make an amendment to #Docket 32663 to strike the name change to Charles Edward Bell and make his name the name he has had since birth, Charles Edward Lust.
You are the only person who can help us fix this. I hope you can find it in your heart to help us.
As the elected Juvenile Judge, you have the power in your pen to help us fix this. You are a judge with the knowledge and experience to help us find a way to get his name and identity back.
Tell me what I need to do? Tell me what motion to file? Tell me what I can do to end this nightmare for my family?
Please help me save my husband, the stress of this is killing him. He can’t sleep, has blood pressure problems, chest pains, depression and tumors that had to be surgically removed that are caused for extreme stress. We worry every day, we will never get a resolution to this matter.
I’m attaching a copy of the original Circuit Court motion, that clearly shoes it was posted by the JC in 1983, four years after the original hearing. I’ve also attached Docket #32663 that you signed as the Referee.
Please feel free to contact us, if you have any questions or would like to speak to us directly.
I would truly appreciate any time you could give this matter.
