Opinion: ayres' Imminent Release

According to court documentation, as uncovered earlier today by Victoria Balfour, william hamilton ayres, who molested many young boys while alleging to provide psychiatric care and/or juvenile evaluations for the County and Courts of San Molesteo, has asked for his daughter, Barbara, to take conservatorship with regard to his person, specifically with regard to medical care and placement. Estate conservatorship is not indicated. ayres' attorney Scumbag McDougall states that ayres felt that his daughter "possessed the knowledge and skills needed to do a great job" Further, Scumbag indicates that ayres seeks the "least restrictive placement appropriate for his needs." Well, we certainly hope that the molester's needs are being met. Maybe the DA and Court can provide a steady stream of expendable 9 - 12 year old boys for his enjoyment too. I wonder if Barbara will turn a deaf ear as everyone else seems to have.... 

The court documents essentially are the release of ayres, fait accompli. They present ayres as a patient on leave of absence from Napa State Hospital, and that ayres requested that his daughter be his conservator.

Documents show that he expressed reluctance to be sent home to live with his wife, or in a residential setting. The documents show that ayres has preference to be established in a “secured perimeter residential care facility.” This is probably to appeal to the court’s mercy, to show that he still thinks he’s demented, and needs medical supervision. (I guess so that he doesn’t wander off in his demented state, and accidentally molest more boys.)

Solveig, ayres’ trashy wife, agrees with the arrangement, and daughter Barbara Ayres is also OK with the arrangement, and everyone has signed paperwork saying so. The documents state that Solveig is not party to any action against the conservatee, such as divorce, etc…

No bond is required for this arrangement.

The documents state that ayres is “adjudged to lack capacity to give consent for medical treatment.” YET: they state that he is allowed to complete an affidavit of voter registration, and according to the documentation, ayres’ physician Dr. Telfer states: “ayres has the capacity to give informed consent about his medical care. Deficits exist in Memory and information processing and thought disorders”
The documents further state that ayres is healthy enough to be present at the conservatorship hearing, but he is not required to be there. He states that he will NOT be there.

According to Valerie J. Samuel, Ph.D.:

The most typical diagnoses given for those with thought disorders are:  Schizophrenia and Psychosis. The symptoms of Thought Disorders can include false belief about self or others, paranoia; hearing or seeing things that others don’t see; extremely disconnected speech or thinking; feelings that don’t match the situation; social  isolation; being unable to function at home, or school; odd behavior; excessive concerns about one's body or very disorganized behavior. 

In relaying the information, ayres’ attorney, Scumbag McDougall also states that he has “found that his status has deteriorated since Dr. Telfer’s declaration, and since my representation over the past two years.”  This is especially important given Scumbag McDougall’s renowned prowess as a medical doctor, with his degree from ImNotAFuckingDoctorButILookPrettySoTheCourtShouldBelieveMe University.


Fucking loser whiner ayres is taking antidepressants and painkillers, because he’s having such a hard time dealing with his sorry lot in life. Must be stressful, not having easy access to young boys.


On Wednesday, April 25th 2012, the conservatorship status will be presented to the court, and on Friday, April 27th 2012 , I assume Scumbag will be presenting his request to release ayres. The DA will wave their hands in objection (possibly), and then the court will shit on all of ayres victims again.

Hey, Barbara: Congratulations, now you're glamorous too! All you have to do is stand still and look stupid...

Continue on to the post below this one for additional details, and the original links to the court documents, etc. Also note that Victoria details the meds that ayres is taking, according to the public documents.

Ayres' Daughter Has Petitioned to be His Conservator

The papers haven't reported this, but we have learned that William Ayres' daughter Barbara Ayres, of Sacramento, has petitioned the court to become her father's conservator ( of his person- NOT of his estate.)

The petition states:

William Ayres is diagnosed with dementia of the Alzheimer's type. Without the assistance of others he is unable personally to provide for his daily needs as a result of the increasingly debilitating effects of the dementia, especially in the exposure to risk of self injury from falling and in failing to manage his medication regimen accurately. Failing memory also prevents him from managing his other health care needs without the assistance of others.

A total of six court investigators have been authorized to access Ayres' health information. For the record, Barbara Ayres did not attend her father's criminal trial in the summer of 2009.

DECLARATION OF ATTORNEY FOR PROPOSED CONSERVATEE FILED BY WILLIAM AYRES

According to his lawyer Jonathan McDougall's statement, "Mr" (sic) Ayres is being given:

1) Citalopram for depression and anxiety
2) Levothyroxine for hypothyroidism
3) Memantine for cognitive deficits
4) Omega-3 fatty acid for cardio and cerebrovascular protectionprotection (sic)
5) Methocarbamol for chronic pain.

McDougall describes "Mr." Ayres' demeanor at  two meetings at his law office on April 2, 2011 and at a visitor's room at Napa State hospital on March 1, 2012 as "pleasant and cooperative." He states that Ayres "expressed concern over placing a burden on his daughter. He felt that she possessed the knowledge and skills needed to do a great job but did not want to burden her with responsibilities. "

MacDougall then states:

"Mr." Ayres expressed serious concerns about leaving Napa State Hospital for either a residential home or his home with his wife. He understood that the conservator would have with court approval the power to decide his residence."


Huh?  If he doesn't want to go home to his wife or a residential home, then where does he want to go?

To the Jerry Sandusky Victims Who Have Not Come Forward:

As of this writing, former Penn State Assistant Football Coach Jerry Sandusky is charged with sexually abusing ten boys during the course of 15 years.

Everyone who knows anything about sexual predators know that this number represents just a tiny fraction of the actual number of boys  who were molested by Sandusky. There are likely hundreds of victims out there.

Some of them may have spoken up when they were children and been ignored, some of them may have been quietly hiding the truth forever.

Before I decided to speak up and say something to authorities, when, as an adult, everything began falling apart, I was very afraid of what would happen to me if I spoke up, and reported to authorities. I was afraid that I would be seen as culpable because I didn’t report when I was a child, I was afraid that I could be compelled to testify against my will, facing the gut wrenching embarrassment in court. Everything was falling apart, and I just wanted to hide.

I was following the news of the scumbag who molested me when I was a child. I had been looking for news for years, and when news finally broke, I posted comments on a message board. Ultimately I made contact with a person who was looking for victims to come forward to help the DA build their case. I finally did come forward. I used a throw-away cell phone to call the police, and asked about what would happen to me if I gave them my name. After talking to the officer, reassured that they wouldn’t want someone on the stand who didn’t want to be there,  I went in and filed a report.

I’m not going to mislead you: the path has not been easy. I didn’t get to testify; in general, things did not go well during the trial or aftermath. It’s still traumatic to this very moment, and probably always will be.  But I did sit in the courtroom during the trial and faced the devil himself. I sat in the front row, from time to time, and I looked into his eyes as he lied on the stand, he was staring right into my eyes while he was letting the bullshit flow from between his lips. Even though he won, I still beat that piece of shit, and I know that he knows it. That alone made my speaking up worth it, I wouldn't have been there if I hadn't ever spoken up. It was better, I think, than if I had not spoken up.

If you’re one of the victims of Sandusky, old or young, dying inside, wanting to speak up, but also afraid to, I’d urge you to contact authorities, a lawyer, anyone, talk to them anonymously, if you're more comfortable doing it that way. Ask them about what the next steps are. Most people investigating this kind of crime understand why you'd want more assurances before giving them your name. In my case, the officer was very understanding, and gave me facts with no pressure. I told him I'd think about it and call him back. Again, no pressure, he stated that he'd be ready to take my report if I wanted to do it. I hung up without giving him my name, and then called him back later, when I was ready.

The victims of Dr. Ayres and Jerry Sandusky cases have much in common. High profile predators in a position of power with unlimited access to children -- Sandusky through his charity, Ayres through his child psychiatry practice.  Both Sandusky and Ayres were protected and enabled by institutions, authorities, and colleagues, who either turned a blind eye to the abuse or were too cowardly to contact police. 

Sandusky victims: what you went through and continue to go through mirrors what so many of the victims of Ayres are experiencing now. To that end, we'd be happy to help put you in touch with authorities and/or legal representatives, or just to talk about what we went through, and perhaps what to expect.

Where is the Outrage?

Two items of OUTRAGE, both coming from my review of the San Mateo Daily Journal this morning:

The first item is a letter to the Journal, sent by two San Mateo County residents expressing their outrage at the poor job San Mateo county has done of controlling molester william hamilton ayres, who molested many young boys while he was alleging to provide private psychiatric treatment and  psychiatric evaluation services and court testimony for the County Juvenile System.

You can read the letter at the San Mateo Daily Journal. I've copied it here:

Editor,

Why is there no public outrage in San Mateo County over the William Ayres’ child molestation charges when similar charges in Pennsylvania brought rapid public outcries from the whole country? Do we value football more than the lives of young boys? Sandusky, unlike Ayres as a doctor, did not take an oath to “do no harm,” and boys were not sent to him for psychiatric treatment.

Ayres’ attorney is now using dementia as an excuse for his being unfit to stand trial or remain in custody at Napa State Mental Hospital for ongoing evaluation. If the County had acted on complaints filed in the ’80s and ceased sending referrals to Ayres, some 40+ young men would not still be seeking justice, to say nothing of the three victims who are now dead and will never have justice. Let us hope the county court will follow Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti’s statement that Ayres “belongs locked up” and not continue to treat him with deference and “kid gloves.”

The second outrageous item is an article in the same newspaper. There is an article this morning talking about charges against yet another alleged San Mateo County child molester, this one arrested last week. The article talks about Kyle Clifton Vogt's molestation of at least four girls, at least one of them very young, and of alleged threats he made to the girls if they spoke up. My problem with "The Daily Journal" is the same that it has been frequently in the past:

I think that The Daily Journal is trying to present an "impartial" reporting perspective on the matter. But as they have often done in the past, they keep ascribing blame to child molestation victims by describing the events as a "sexual relationship" as if the matter were some kind mutual... well... relationship. This is incompetence on the part of the Journal at best, and maliciously abusive and damaging on take-away. Here's the ACTUAL language that the Journal had the gall to print:

"A man arrested last week for having an ongoing sexual relationship with a girl beginning when she was 5 likely has at least three other victims and maybe more, according to South San Francisco police."

-March 06, 2012, 05:00 AM Daily Journal staff report

Is there a child molester friendly editor on the Journal's staff? Perhaps this is just a regurgitation of language that appeared in a police report, perhaps it is just poor editing (By the way, I checked SFGate, and they are reporting that the investigating officer uses words like "rape" and "molestation." I don't see the word "relationship" in the SFGate article.)  Either way, it's reprehensible and disgusting, and they keep doing it over and over.

Let me give the Journal a helpful tip to figure out wording when in doubt:

A FIVE YEAR OLD GIRL DOES NOT HAVE THE WHEREWITHAL TO DECIDE TO ENTER INTO A SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH A 36 YEAR OLD "MAN."

Stupid fucking morons. 

UPDATE 3/7/2012: We now know who the fucking moron at the San Mateo Daily Journal is. Bill Silverfarb wrote this, this morning:

Kyle Clifton Vogt, 36, was arrested Thursday after a two-week investigation by police that revealed he allegedly had carried on a sexual relationship with his girlfriend’s half-sister for at least eight years starting when the victim was just 5.

-March 07, 2012, 05:00 AM By Bill Silverfarb Daily Journal staff

By the way: Police want other potential victims or people with information about Vogt to call them:
