Miguel Frontera Lost His License For Molesting Boys. So Why Is He Still Claiming To Be A Board Certified M.D.?

UPDATE: 4/29/11: Looks like our complaints to the Maryland Board of Physicians  about Frontera's questionable descriptions of his "M.D"" status and duties at CAMELOT paid off. Frontera is now admitting on his various websites that he gave up his medical license and does not treat patients.
Here's an example:
http://miguelfrontera.businesscard2.com/

Miguel Frontera, M.D. gave up his medical license in 2010. He is presently retired and lives in Baltimore MD.[NOTE: CAMELOT: ASDAC is a non-profit organization that, as a public education consortium, is solely tasked with the dissemination of information about ASDs and their potential new treatments to the general population. CAMELOT DOES NOT CONDUCT RESEARCH NOR DOES IT TREAT ANY INDIVIDUALS WHETHER AFFECTED BY ASDS OR OTHER MEDICAL CONDITIONS AS IT IS NEITHER A RESEARCH NOR A MEDICAL ORGANIZATION.]Miguel Frontera's Contact InfoRETIRED
RetiredBaltimore, Maryland 21212


UPDATE: 4/13/11:  Beth Casteel, spokesperson for the American Psychiatric Association informed us today that Frontera has "been notified" that he is no longer a member of the APA.

Remember Miguel Frontera? He was the Baltimore child psychiatrist who had his medical license permanently revoked in March 2010 for molesting 12 young boys sent to him for therapy.

When revoking Frontera’s license, the Maryland Board of Physicians concluded that Frontera:

“was guilty of immoral and unprofessional conduct in the practice of medicine; failed to meet the standards of quality care; failed to keep adequate medical records; and violated the Board`s sexual misconduct regulations in regard to 12 minor patients.”

John Papavasiliou, the Deputy Director of the Maryland Board of Physicians had this to say about their decision:

"This is final, permanent and final. The board was emphatic in its decision and united, and it will not tolerate this sort of behavior from any practitioner."

Read the final consent order permanently revoking Miguel Frontera's medical licence here.

It's been a year since Frontera was forced to give up his medical license. So what has he been up to?

Turns out he’s now working as a “medical director” for a company that he appears to have created just for himself. The company is called CAMELOT : Consortium for the Advancement of Medical and Evidence Based Learning and Organized Treatment Autism Spectrum Disorders Chapter .

In September 2010, Frontera announced - through a dizzying number of personal domains he created on the internet - that after “leaving” his staff position at Clinical Associates in early 2010, he was “appointed” to and “accepted the position" as the medical director for CAMELOT. Clearly he wants to give the impression that CAMELOT was wooing him!

On his CAMELOT home page, there’s a photo of two bare-chested handsome young men (who could still be in their teens) on a beach with two women in bikinis. Not only is this photo inappropriate given Frontera’s history, but what does it have to do with autistic kids?

And what is it that Frontera does over at CAMELOT? According to this bio, “Psychiatric practitioner, professor, and researcher Miguel Frontera, MD, serves as Medical Director for CAMELOT:ASDC (Consortium for the Advancement of Medical and Evidence-Based Learning and Organized Treatment: Autism Spectrum Disorders Chapter).

In this role, he diagnoses children with an array of autistic disorders, and he educates the public on these afflictions through the nonprofit's website. In addition, Miguel Frontera, MD, conducts in-depth research to identify causes and work toward new treatments for these individuals.

“Diagnosing children?” Does this mean he is still seeing children as his patients?

Another website, http://miguelfrontera.businesscard2.com/, says Dr. Miguel Frontera also uses the clinic to study the sleeping patterns of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in order to correlate them with other ASD symptoms such as obsessive, self-soothing behavior and irritability.

What is one to make of Frontera’s CAMELOT “Mission” statement?

“We know that families affected by ASDS may sometimes find themselves desperately looking for solutions to problems they face. This may leave them vulnerable to being manipulated by sometimes well-meaning, sometimes-not individuals or outlets that offer treatments that sound promising bar are largely if not completely unproven."

It should be noted that William Ayres once upon a time wrote something quite similar for the Psychiatric News in 1997 when he was running for President of the American Psychiatric Association -- warning people against businessmen who“profit from the vulnerabilities of others” while extolling child psychiatrists like himself as "caring" about the needs of children.

And who is paying for Frontera’s job as medical director at CAMELOT?

According to the website:

“All research conducted at the Clinic will be funded through grants and private grants as well as through the private donations obtained directly and indirectly through this website.”

Only trouble is, there’s no contact any information for Frontera anywhere on the website. No email address, phone number or mailing address. A call to the Clinic’s “President” – a Baltimore geriatric psychiatrist named David Loreck about this organization - has not been returned.

A quick check of Frontera’s various bios elsewhere has turned up some falsehoods. For example, this bio http://cvshare.net/miguelfrontera states that Miguel Frontera, M.D. holds Board Certification in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and General Psychiatry.

But Nicole Judge, spokesperson for the American Board of Medical Specialists says this is false - Frontera is NOT Board Certified.

And this website: http://miguelfronteramd.net/  says Frontera is a member of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

This is false as well. Annette Iverson from the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry says that the Academy terminated Frontera’s membership as soon as the molestation allegations surfaced in 2009. She also stated that they are considering contacting the Maryland Board of Physicians about his continuing to claim membership.

The Baltimore police won’t say whether they are still investigating Frontera. But if anyone has any information about Frontera and CAMELOT, please email me: balfour.victoria@gmail.com

A special thank you to the poster named “Just Me” over at http://www.malesurvivor.org/ for investigating the various website domains held by Frontera.

San Mateo County: Come Have Sex With Our Children!

Ugh... Yet another installment...


According to Joshua Melvin at MercuryNews.com, Jeffery Gracia of Pacifica was convicted earlier this week for having oral sex with a 14 year old boy, and possessing child pornography.

According to the “Pacifica Patch” other charges included masturbation and anal sex, and included in evidence were hundreds of photos of Gracia posing with the young boys in Burma.

He was sentenced to a year -- ONE YEAR -- in JAIL -- minus time served -- (avoiding PRISON time) and five years of probation for his disgusting crimes, by San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Craig Parsons.

Apparently Judge Parsons was aroused by Gracia’s military service, volunteer firefighter duties, and having been smart enough to have not been caught diddling boys before or after  the incidents in question.

The father and brother of the victim (both deemed even by the judge to be biased due to their fiduciary dependence on the perp) both testified on the PERPETRATOR’s behalf.  Who needs enemies when you have family like that?

According to the “Pacifica Patch,” DA Steve Wagestaffe reports that in a lengthy response, the Judge indicated that he gave more weight to the Perp’s service than to the credible (in the judge’s words -- several times) victim’s testimony and the biased (in the judge’s words) family’s testimony. That, and the fact that he hadn't “committed” any NEW offences since 2001. (I think you mean BEEN CAUGHT COMMITTING, don’t you Judge Parsons?)

Judge Parsons is the same dude who pared Tarquin Craig Thomas’s 25 counts of lewd and lascivious behavior down to five charges. Fortunately (if you can call it that) there was enough heinously disgusting video and photographic evidence that the perp ended up with a 108 year prison term.

Gracia does have to register as a sex offender, a relative rarity for San Mateo County lately.

Meanwhile, Daniel Leon Stansbury got two years and eight months in PRISON for fraudulently receiving aid money when he claimed to be a victim of the PG&E explosion in San Bruno. Despicable behavior, and I think he deserves the time. But frankly the seven years and four months that Gracia COULD have been sentenced for the crimes HE was convicted of is far too light a sentence for his atrocities.

All because of the fabulous judges San Mateo County seems so fond of. Can we please remember these turd judge's names when elections roll around?

If DA Steve Wagstaffe had any objections to the "Judge's" light sentence, he apparently didn't voice them to either news agency.

Serve in the Armed Forces, and then come have sex with kids in San Mateo County! Our Judges will lick your boots clean for you!

Neck Deep in Blood Money

Scum sucking lawyers, raising their families on blood money, sucked from the very marrow of innocent adults who were crushed forever by the depraved actions of child molesting filth. The lawyers gladly buy roses for their wives, sock money into their children’s college funds. Money from the filthy shrink who billed parents for providing him with the opportunity to sexually gratify himself with their children.

 

Money spent to delay, delay, delay, so that the pervert’s victims give up all hope, so that they have time to sink into the depression that destroys.   

So that they have time to die before they can complete soul draining lawsuits; their only last hope of any justice, when the criminal system has long since failed to display any teeth.

Stupid “professional” shrink/doctor/educator – blindly supporting the sick fuck molester you think is innocent because YOU think they did something reputable once. You're too god-damned moronic to realize that all of their “good” was in pursuit of profiling victims they could destroy.  

Spout your stupid crap about assuming people are innocent. When will you realize that the support that you give in your self aggrandizing magnanimous demeanor only further crushes the souls of those you SHOULD be helping.  Maybe when the monsters rape your kids and make you watch? Will you give them the benefit of the doubt then too? Yeah…. Probably -- A Ph.D, or an M.D. but too stupid to be human. What a waste of an education. Maybe you should hire the scum sucking lawyer to get your University fees back.

Aren’t mommy and daddy fantastic, bringing home the bacon, making the spouse and kids happy with money earned by fucking the victims of the dirty old shrink, one more good, hard, time.

william hamilton ayres' Competency Trial is Set

The date for william ayres' "competency to assist in his own defense" trial has been set for:


June 6th, 2011 9:00am

But McDougall, ayres' weasel attorney claims that some of his witnesses will not be available until June 13th, so he's already built in a week of delay.

This is the THIRD attempt at a competency trial, with ayres' weasel lawyer getting a delay on the original October 4, 2010 date, as well as the more recent January 10, 2011 date, and further delays to the 3rd competency report requested by the judge. Let's hope this one sticks.

UPDATE: (3/11/2011 12:30pm): As usual, the San Mateo Daily Journal popped by to see if they need to write anything. They're writing daily synopses about the Youshock trial, but during the first ayres trial, hardly a word. I guess child molesters are too icky to do anything about... just let them run around doing whatever... no big deal. Y'all are pathetic.

william hamilton ayres was arrested on April 5th, 2007 on charges relating to his molestation of many young boys while he was allegedly providing psychiatric care, and was the one time president of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. 

REMINDER: Trial Setting Hearing Tomorrow

Reminder: Attempt to set Competency to Stand Trial Trial, Tomorrow:

FRIDAY, March 11th, 2011, 9:00am 

400 County Center, Redwood City

This will be the fourth attempt to try to squeeze a trial date for the THIRD attempt at a Competency to Stand Trial Trial out of Jonathan McDougall, william hamilton ayres' lawyer. Anyone taking odds?

At the hearing last month, it sounded like everyone was shooting for a May trial, the press is now aiming for June. Complications include McDougall's current trial schedule, as well as potential scheduling issues with the judge who was slated to hear the trial.

By the way, for those who didn't know: the "Mark Doe" in post below this one "Mark Doe: In Memorium" was the Mark Doe in one of the lawsuits against ayres. The money that McDougal is earning from ayres for his delays comes directly out of the souls of real humans like Mark and his family and friends.

Mark Doe: In Memoriam

I am sorry to report today that a victim of Dr. Ayres has died. His name was Mark; he was 44; and was the father of two children. He was a talented pianist and could play anything from ear.

Mark's life went into a downward spiral after Ayres was arrested in 2007. He had several DUI's. His new second marriage, which had started on a hopeful note, ended in divorce. He  spent time in jail for drunk driving.

Although Mark never liked to talk about the abuse at the hand of Ayres, the pain and anguish in his voice was ever-present. Whenever I spoke to him, the pain and grief in his voice  would haunt me for days.

This is the third Ayres victim I know of who has died. One named Alan died in a motorcycle crash in 2005, not long after writing a tragic email saying that no one was going to help the Ayres victims.

Mark himself told me three years ago that he had a death wish. I am just so angry that it has come true. If there are any Ayres victims reading this, please, please, don't end up like Mark and Alan.

I know you most likely distrust therapists, but there are some good ones out there. A compassionate therapist can help you through your grief. Mark's former therapist is one of the good therapists. If you are a victim of Ayres and would like her name, please email me: balfour.victoria@gmail.com

So Long, Mel Levine, It's Been a Blast

ABC News in Raleigh-Durham NC today released Mel Levine’s suicide note.

Mel Levine was a “celebrity doctor;” a pediatrician who practiced at “Boston Children’s Hospital” from 1966 to 1985. william hamilton ayres practiced there from 1959 to 1963. Levine wrote books and lectured about learning disabilities, and went on Oprah. He was also accused by many men of molesting them when they were young boys. There are detailed accounts by his accusers in this New York Times article: Pediatrician in Abuse Case Killed Himself. I would urge you to go read the article if you’re sitting on the fence on this case.

His suicide note is a rather overwrought, dramatic presentation, meant mostly to further wound his victims, but in the end, he fails miserably.


The first page of his note is a “love” note to his wife apologizing to her (and their menagerie) , but noting that at least he’s left her with memories that she can “savor.” A touching handwritten note – well, at least the font that he used to type it was a handwriting font. He does appear to have signed it.

The second page is titled “Chapter 11 – The End”
On this page, he says that he was on his way to being a “comeback kid” but that his hopes were dashed when his lawyer told him that there was going to be another big lawsuit with 30 more cases. He talks about leaving quite a burden for “Bambi” his wife, and then says goodbye to all of the birds donkeys, dogs, cats, etc…

He says he’s going to shoot himself  “Today” --- LOSING!
That was on the 11th of February. He broke that promise.

Then on the 14th, he claims to be “Alive if not well,” then he dramatically recounts for us how he recalled his “72 hour suicide rule” Dangit… *smacks forehead*  “I can’t blow my brains out today… I have a RULE about that!”

The REAL reason for the delay, we find out, is that he wanted to find out the timing of the press conference in which the new cases are to be announced. He “decided it might be especially apt to end [his] life just before that grandstand event.”

Page 3:
His lawyer Ted didn’t know what the timing was, and so it appears that Ted bought the world 2 more days with Mel.

Levine talks about getting the feeling that even his lawyer didn’t believe him, and that there is some indication that Levine could end up in jail.

He talks about wanting a more discrete handling of his case, being assassinated by the press, press conferences are bizarre and abusive, and that it could lead to more “low on funds” people coming forward as victims.

He talks about Salem, Massachussetts, and society making little effort to protect the accused. He’s an innocent victim of “copy cat phenonmenon.” Also he had fun with Bambi over the weekend.


He hopes that his suicide will not “be read as an admission of guilt."

Page 4 (Last Page):
On the 17th, he talks about the schedule for the big press conference, and then pencils-in blowing his brains out for around 9:30am or so. He hadn’t slept well, worrying that the “shotgun that [he] bought a couple of years ago (JUST IN CASE) might not work properly”

He says: “dying this way is preferable to perishing in an ICU or shriveling away with metastatic cancer.” Where does the incarceration that he talked about on the 11th enter into his little vision of the future?

OK, Some thoughts:


I don’t have personal knowledge about the Levine case. It is my understanding that Levine had many accusers, and that they told their stories, and that they are people who don’t know each other, and who told very similar stories. My benefit of the doubt goes to the victims in this case, not to Levine.

My background is this: I’ve told the details of my story about william ayres to the police, before the first criminal trial of william ayres. I had told no one else any specific details, and never heard details from anyone else, and details in the press were very general and sometimes incorrect. I spoke about details that they seemed to believe. When the trial happened I heard about testimony from other victims. Their details were sickeningly the same as my details. Some of them, things that I hadn’t mentioned to the police, but that I unfortunately also knew from experience. I KNOW that ayres did what he is accused of, and I KNOW that he did it to many others. THIS parallel is the basis for my assumption that Levine’s victims are telling the truth.

Maybe YOU don’t like that I assume Levine’s guilt rather than his innocence, but:

1) You are wrong that you are required to “assume innocence.”
2) I don’t care that you don’t agree with my opinion.
3) You are stupid if you always assume innocence.
When your stupid assumption bites you in the ass, I’ll promise to be a sympathetic ear, even though YOU weren't. Why aren’t YOU here for US, right now? (this is a moral question -- you're supposed to pause and search your soul now -- note that I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt; assuming that you HAVE a soul.)

In Levine’s note, he talks about the media assassinating him; he mentions Salem. These are the VERY things that william ayres’ supporters bleat about whenever they have the opportunity. It is the ONLY defense they have – that we’re all SUPPOSED to believe that THEY are the innocent party. Even ayres’ attorney bleated about it at trial: He mentioned the McMartin case, the Salem witch trials, etc, etc…

Saaaa-leeeem, Saaaaa-leeeeem, Maaaaa Saaaaa Chuuuuuu Seeeeeets. Miiiiiiick Maaaaaaaarrr Tiiiiiiin. Stupid, stupid sheep.

These are ALWAYS the fall-back arguments -- make people feel guilty about actually believing that the victims are telling the truth.

On Levine’s idea that “it might be especially apt to end [his] life just before that grandstand event”:

These guys are CONTROL freaks, and they have no soul. Bullies, rapists, child molesters: they are psychic vampires – they have no soul of their own, and they crush the souls of innocent people to bring people down to their level so that they can feel human. william hamilton ayres, upon settling for a moderately high six figure settlement to one of his victims tried to further insert himself into his victim’s life: he wanted control of the money! He wanted to be able to force his victim to use the money in the ways that he chose. You can read all about it in the San Francisco Chronicle.

Even in his suicide to escape his fear that he’d be imprisoned, Levine hoped to control his victims by convincing them that he was the injured party: he exclaims that his suicide was not to “be read as an admission of guilt.”


Victims, take heart!

The last words ever typed by Levine are these:

…but then “nothing gold can stay.”

“Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost:

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

This poem is a metaphor about Man, and his fall from paradise, into sin and depravity, lured there by Satan himself. 


These creeps ALWAYS admit to their sick predilections. They think they're being sly about it, and we're all too stupid to get it. 

[Addendum, from Deep Sounding]:

Mel Levine's escapades and suicide have been discussed on this blog before:

william h. ayres Found Competent (AGAIN) to assist in his own defense.

COMPETENT! (Duh)

william hamilton ayres, accused of molesting many young boys while he was alleged to be providing psychiatric care, was found to be COMPETENT to assist in his own defense, as was predicted two weeks ago.

The third doctor’s “tie-breaker” report was apparently received just this morning before court. The tie-breaker was needed because although the original two doctors found ayres to be competent, one of them (Dr. Jatinder Singh) mysteriously waffled the day the competency trial was expected to start, and changed her report. (I know... the logic is convoluted. Justice does not apparently rely upon actual fact and logical argument. If you're new to the case, and trying to figure out what state the case is currently in, the brief background is here.)

The defense had seen the current report this morning, just before the hearing. The prosecutor had not yet received a copy.

Next Friday at 9am, there will be a hearing in front of Judge Grandsaert to set this year’s second attempt at a competency trial date. (It will be the third attempt at a competency trial.) It sounds like there may be scheduling conflicts with Judge Grandsaert's schedule, and yet another judge may be involved....

The San Mateo Daily Journal should be putting up something soon... they came here poking around with a "william ayres child psychiatrist blogspot" google query. They usually have a tidbit or two from the prosecutor, and a "did not respond" from the defense. I'll post a link if they get around to a story.

Update (03/05/2011 6:30am):
The San Mateo Daily Journal did post an article today, but with no content other than already reported.

Update (03/05/2011 11:00am):
The MercuryNews now has a story out as well.

They include quotes from The DA and prosecutor talking about getting the case "back on track". Uh.... the "track" is all the way back there... in 2008. Going to need some hard pushing and some judges who won't keep allowing delays for the "LAST" time.



Hi Robert. No matter how many times you look, or what happens at trial, daddy's still guilty.

REMINDER: Yet another competency hearing TOMORROW

Reminder: Yet Another Competency Hearing, Tomorrow:

The third competency report which was due to the court on Friday, February 18th, 2011 was not ready yet. They scheduled a new review date of Friday, March 4, 2011. From snippets of conversation overheard in the courtroom, it appears that the report was not quite ready, and there may have been additional scheduling conflicts due to McDougall's Youshock trail.

william hamilton ayres was arrested on April 5th, 2007 on charges relating to his molestation of many young boys while he was allegedly providing psychiatric care, and was the one time president of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
