I'd love to say that Jeanne Brown and Thomas Graber did my brother and I a favor by keeping us from our schizophrenic abusive father, but in fact, the opposite is true. Instead of keeping us out of harms way when Judge Thomas Graber ordered my brother and I to attend counseling with Jeanne Brown at SCMH, Graber and Brown actually kept my brother and I from seeing our mother for 6 years (while she had cancer), giving our father all the permission he needed to take out years of physical and emotional abuse, even holding us hostage multiple times with rifles. You'd think a LCP could determine someone was schizophrenic, but not Jeanne. Even though my father had a diagnosis at the time and was receiving full disability, somehow that slipped under the mental health radar of the all-knowing Judge Graber and Jeanne Brown, and they worked together to ensure us boys were with a "strong male role model." He was strong alright. And he tormented us endlessly by beating us regularly for those 6 years. I hope they are proud of their work and gross negligence that actually made the abuse worse. I remember being in Judge Graber's chambers many times over the years, and he was a callous and heartless Judge who told my brother and I he did not care what children thought (even though we were very intelligent teenagers). It has to be tough to think you're saving kids or making things better and finding out you actually made things much worse. Your savior complex doesn't absolve you of poor judgement. If you want your kids to be healthy, stay far far away from this joke of a place.
