Let’s get some facts on the table.
The above book about the Grazzini case was written by known perjurer Michael Brodkorb and
Allison Mann, who by the way is the paralegal for Grazzini’s
ex-husband’s attorney. This is simply a book of lies by omission.
Speaking of lies by omission, as most of you know, ABC’s
“20/20″ aired
“Footprints in the Snow” in April
of 2016 and rebroadcast the episode with updated information in
March 2017. Since then, there have been numerous repeat broadcasts on
Discovery Communication’s Investigative Discovery channel and now the
Oprah Winfrey Network.
20/20 suppressed evidence of abuse in the Grazzini case, and slanted
the story, in order to portray mother, Sandra Grazzini, and myself as
“vigilante parents” and “family court critics” who participated in a
child-kidnapping network operating in a “hidden world”.
In pushing this
false narrative, ABC 20/20 covered up domestic abuse, and encouraged
viewers to disregard cries for help from children who courageously spoke
up to disclose the abuse.
The bigger picture is that Family Courts are “government” and as such are supported by public funding. A multi- billion dollar
enterprise has been created by the family court divorce, domestic abuse
and child abuse industries including Child Protective Services.
Currently, non-profit and for profit advocacy groups nationwide are
obtaining court connected federal funding through the Dept. of Health
and Human Services to influence custody cases.
After 20/20 aired the original broadcast, numerous people demanded a retraction, but of course corporate media wouldn’t budge.
Below are letters from The Women’s Coalition written in 2016.
Women: Boycott ABC! Share This Post!
20/20 Portrays Women as Malicious Liars/Alienators
Join Email Campaign to ABC President Channing Dungey
20/20’s latest episode, “Footprints in the Snow”, was ostensibly
about two teens who fled into the underground on a snowy night, running
away from a father they say is abusive, but a thinly disguised agenda
soon becomes apparent.
It appears to be just the latest attempt by mainstream media to
mislead the public into thinking women who are only trying to maintain
custody of or protect their children, are actually vindictive, malicious
liars out to destroy men and alienate them from their children—an
age-old patriarchal theme nauseatingly replayed on primetime TV Friday
night.
Sean Dooley, 20/20’s producer, along with reporter Elizabeth Vargas,
portray Sandra Grazzini and Cindy Dumas, Damon’s mother and Executive
Director of The Women’s Coalition, as liars who coached their children
to falsely report abuse in an effort to alienate them from their
fathers. This incriminates Damon, who was interviewed by Elizabeth
Vargas for the story, and the girls as liars and accomplices in the plot
to bring their fathers down.
They do this in part by making a clear statement that judges in both
cases found there was no “credible evidence” of abuse by the fathers.
Dooley is counting on the fact that the general public will believe a
purportedly “honorable” judge over a mere woman or child.
The problem is that Dooley was provided with substantial “credible
evidence of abuse” which refutes what the judges found and he omitted it
in his obvious slanting of the story against Sandra and Cindy and by
extension all women who dare accuse a father of abuse.
Dooley is now just one more part of the cover up of sexual abuse in Cindy’s case and physical and verbal abuse in Sandra’s case.
An article is in the works which will further detail the spinning of
the story, but in the meantime, people can start emailing the President
of ABC and let her know you are boycotting ABC until they issue an
apology, a retraction of the episode and begin an investigation into the
epidemic of women being falsely labeled liars and their children taken
from them or left unprotected.

Subject: Boycotting ABC
Dear President Dungey,
I am with The Women’s Coalition and am writing to let you know that
we will be boycotting ABC until you retract Friday night’s episode
“Footprints in the Snow”, issue an apology to Sandra Grazzini, Cindy
Dumas and women around the world who have been implicated.
As a domestic violence survivor myself and a protective mother of an
autistic 6 year old who was illegally ripped from me by a corrupt judge
in NJ,
I found your segment to be disturbingly bias against women and
dangerous to the public’s perception of the reality of what really
happened. The fact that 20/20 decided to purposely omit evidence showing abuse that was provided to you and the reporters was deliberate manipulation of the truth.
The Women’s Coalition has been documenting this crisis on social
media and Youtube and with the UN and Women’s Commissions. We have a
huge following and a strong social media presence.
We hope you correct this episode and do a follow-up showing the
additional evidence of abuse. As it stands right now, you have turned
women, mothers and children off to your show by your gross
misrepresentation and we have instructed all of our supporters to never
to grant an exclusive or any type of interview to ABC and especially not
to 20/20.
I personally have an exclusive story coming out on one of the big
networks in the next few weeks. I will make sure that when my story
becomes of further public interest that I will not speak to any
reporters from ABC news.
You have lost the trust of abused mothers and
children everywhere.
It is a travesty to harm women and children the way your show did. You should be greatly ashamed.
Thank you for your time,
Rachel Alintoff
