Greetings and welcome to all who join me here. Allow me, please, to introduce myself as a rather obnoxious, little-old-lady-in-tennis-shoes type person. I need you to understand however that although this has a lot to do with being obnoxious, a trait which I claim with some considerable pride, it has absolutely nothing at all to do with being little (I'm more than plump, truthfully, but I do so hate to apply that word "fat" to myself) or being old (although I'm nearing 70) or being a lady (I much prefer chopping wood or building a new front porch to drinking tea or whatever it would take to make a lady of me) or even wearing tennis shoes (although I tend to alternate between those and work boots). Being a little, old lady in tennis shoes has to do solely with a state of mind.
And what is that state of mind? you ask.
Well, stick around and see is the best advice I have to offer.
The reason for the title of this blog today is that I am in search of information about this man:
The sons, of whom he has physical custody, have revealed virtually unspeakable abuses at his hands. One report of this abuse was made by a Dr. Jill Scharff of the state of Maryland. Dr. Scharff was the treating psychiatrist for the two boys, and she spent literally hours with the boys. Her report, however, seems to have been disappeared; at least it was never acted upon. And now she pleads confidentiality of the material she has, rather than disclose any information given to her by the boys. Perhaps she is afraid of something. I don't know.
So why am I bothering my friends across the pond with this information?
Arlen Slobodow has visited the UK. Some time in the late 1990's or early in 2000, Slobodow was in London, visiting his then-wife and his sons, who had fled the U.S. to escape from him, following incidents of physical abuse. There was, for example, a time when he shoved her down a flight of stairs. She was injured, but, determined that her marriage would last, she made no report of the incident. It was not until later that she would file protective orders against him.
The name of his wife? Elsa Newman. You may have heard of her. Perhaps not. More later of Elsa. (or, if you prefer, you can check out one or more of the blogs on my blog list; I have written quite a bit about Elsa in blogs based in the U.S., and there is a man in Australia who calls himself "The Wizard of Oz" and who also blogs about Elsa Newman.
Back to the visit of Slobodow to the UK. I understand that there were times when he would follow his then-wife around London, screaming at her. I don't know what he screamed. From what I have read of his vocabulary in a variety of communications with me, I would guess it was quite foul language--but I must admit that I really don't know. So, if anyone happens to remember having seen this man, following his cowed wife around and about London, I would appreciate hearing from you.
And there is another matter. While he was in London, Slobodow was accustomed to going out nights--and staying out late, perhaps as late as 3 in the morning. Since I believe that this man is a pedophile and a child molester, I have some interest in any possibility of learning about his location or his activities at such times.
If you have information for me about either the screaming husband or about the absent husband who may have been out evenings, looking for nice little English boys, please leave your information as a comment on this blog.
