September 2016, I met Beth on plenty of fish a dating site. We talked for a couple days and then we went to see suicide squad at the Hadley movies theater at the Hampshire mall afterwards we got chicken wings and talked at Arizona pizza after for a couple hours. I told Beth My life story, the issues I had with my children’s mothers, the issues I had in the Coast Guard, my suicide attempts, and my troubles with the courts.
She told me all about the abuse her son suffered in a group home near FallRiver. You could tell she was devastated when she talked about how the state of Massachusetts placed their son as far away as possible, and did nothing to help him when he was assaulted. she only discovered her son was injured when her, her husband and daughter arrived for a surprise visit around Halloween in 2015 and they discovered that he was bleeding from his ear , so they called 911 and he was brought to the emergency room, It was discovered that someone slapped him across the side of the head and blew out his eardrum. The company that he was staying with, tried to cover it up and bleached the room before police arrived. Beth tried to take her son home after that to care for him, but he had suffered too much PTSD, and eventually she was forced to allow the state to take him and place him in the psych-ward in New Hampshire, two hours away, and that was the final devastating event that ruined her marriage, and since my marriage was destroyed because of my court issues, we were able to meet and bond of our disgust of the system. Both of us were screwed by the state and it ruined both of our marriages, these state issues were also what drove us apart, along with me getting sick and not knowing it.
After that, the next day, we met up and went to the bridge of flowers in Shelburne Falls MA, and took a ride, hoping to see a sunset overlooking north Adams, but we didn’t have any luck.
After that, we became inseparable, we hung around all the time, I believe we went to visit her son in the psych ward the very first week we met. I think it was just three days later or four days later. Either way, when I met her son I knew that he was an innocent victim and the things the doctors we're doing, and the state was allowing to happen to him was wrong.
We would go visit her son every other weekend and I would drive the two hours there and back. I loved driving and I love talking, so that was the perfect time for us to get to know each other. At times we also stopped at a shopping center, they had a Cabela's there and one time they had a reptile show going on and there was a 15 to 20 foot Python and at first I thought it was a statue or it was fake but it was real and it was so cool. I've never got to touch a snake that huge before, I feel like the girth of it was like 25 to 30 inches. Beth told me countless stories about how the Massachusetts Department of Social Services and the school system, along with these doctors at this hospital in New Hampshire that her son was staying at would just ignore her and they didn't provide her with any answers and she would have severe anxiety attacks about it, She'd have countless sleepless nights where she told me she woke up in a panic and felt responsible for all the abuse her son endured while in the care Of the Massachusetts school system and the group home that she allowed her son to go live at so that he could experience some type of independence.
I thought it was the greatest thing in the world when Beth said that I could speak on her son's behalf when addressing these issues. Magically people started to listen I actually started doing their jobs, shortly after we met I got her son to go on his first outside visit at the hospital, I took my nephew on that visit and we got to use the swings and her son was so happy, Stephen loves the swings and it was something he used to do in the past all the time.
We fought for months to find appropriate placement for her son because of all the trauma he had suffered and the state of Massachusetts even went so far as to file a complaint against her claiming that she abandoned her son in New Hampshire, even though we were going to visit him every other week and I believe his father was visiting on the opposing weekends. This caused their severe emotional distress And I use that as an excuse to speak up the amount of PRN drugs they were giving her son and the lack of any type of care or therapy being provided by that hospital.
It's November 6th 2025, so my perspective on these mental health hospitals has gotten even sharper. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that that Hampstead Hospital abused and neglected Beth's son Stephan and they didn't care at all and that's what they do to all those poor individuals that get stuck there and don't have an advocate to stick up for them.
2017
After months of fighting with the Department of Developmental Services, we settled on Crystal Springs in Fall River Massachusetts. The director or manager Rich Mancini was a lying piece of trash and I'll say that to his face. When we first started visiting her son after he was placed at Crystal Springs It was the same routine as when we went to go visit him in the New Hampshire hospital, it was two hours away and we only stayed for an hour and we didn't really interact with her son because of all the trauma he had gone through and he wasn't really ready to interact with people in the environment that we were in. So after a couple months of going to Crystal Springs I told Beth that I'm sick of these visits and I want them to change,
2018
January I think we took Stephen to go see Bumblebee, the Transformers movie and this was the first movie that he had been to since he was a child and I was so happy to share something that I loved with him, beth was so happy that they were out doing normal human things and that I was encouraging her son to do More, because Crystal Springs was refusing to do anything that they had agreed to do, We had IEP meetings or ISP and they would lie to us, they said that they were going to make home visits happen and they said they were going to take him to the mall and go to parks And they took him to Dunkin Donuts a couple times right up the road and raced right back to the facility. They had swings and slides at the facility and they hardly ever took him out, he was there for two years I believe and they went outside maybe 10 or 15 times.
Beth had these plastic mulch containers and we put them over by the brook and then we started putting food on them and we left a trail Cam And there were a whole bunch of pictures of that We got pictures of dogs and cats eating the food and there was a possum hissing at a raccoon that looked like it couldn't care less. Beth loved composting and gardening. She'd like to take care of all the flowers outside of our porch and we did some gardening until there was an issue with my dad's wife and then we just stopped going outside as much because Sue was annoying as hell
July air show at Westover in Chicopee , this was such an awesome air show, Dom and I got to go on a- B17 Flying Fortress and do the usual tours After that we went to Rock House Reservation and flew our drones around. Beth wasn't distressed and climbing on the plains, she wasn't enjoying how hot it was out on the tarmac.
September we took Stefan to the Christopher Robin movie, I thought it was awesome. You can tell how happy Beth was that her son was having a normal human interaction.
2019
March Beth and I took Stephen to go see Captain Marvel and he didn't like it and got up and then we walked around the mall. We ended up going to the arcade and playing some games and it was still a great time. I don't blame him for not wanting to watch that movie because it wasn't very good and I'm not even sure why we picked that movie for him in the first place, since he's nonverbal it's his own fault that he doesn't get to pick movies.lol
April new york, uss enterprise on carrier, museums and car show. Beth didn't have the greatest time on this trip to New York because of all The Walking but I loved it Camel we got in a disagreement at one of the museums I came over the name I had the the dinosaurs and the big whale hanging from the ceiling but I remember trying to apologize to her and totally sucking it up so that it wouldn't ruin our Trip, consider we still had a three hour ride home once we got to the car, even if she did want to leave.
May 2019 or June either way I had neck surgery Common I remember Beth was so crabby at the doctor and asked the doctor when I would be able to vacuum again on the first appointment that we went after getting the disk replaced in my neck. It was absolutely hilarious and I still can't believe that she was so focused on vacuuming and not on me healing. lol
October we went to Madame Sherry Forest stone staircase and a reptile show and I remember feeling like such a whiny little baby I felt like such garbage And it was always a pain talking to Beth because she always assumed I was mad at her and I couldn't explain to her that I just didn't feel good
November We've made costumes and went to Comic Con in Rhode Island and got to meet a bunch of stars and that was awesome and I did expand on this.
End of November death helped me hook up one of my GI Joe helicopters to my Gopro drone and I made a video of it flying around the backyard and that was like a childhood dream come true, even though I didn't know about drones at, I always want to fly my toys around in real life and I wish more people wanted to do stuff like this come I thought it was the coolest thing in the world and I still get excited thinking about it
Email draft from 8-26-2019 I sent a bunch of emails like this. this organization was terrible.
" I was informed Friday morning that staff at crystal spring wouldn’t be making a social story for Stephen so I prepared for Stephen having a rough visit. I didn’t want to say anything to Beth because I wanted to see if what I was told was true.
June, we got a call from that program manager Rich Mancini and he didn't know that I was on the call as well, beth had hit speakerphone and he had the nerve to threaten Beth. And her son. They were using the timeout closet all the time and I knew her son didn't need to be placed in the timeout closet and that staff we're ignoring him and not doing their jobs and that's why he was getting upset.
July, beth was visiting Stephen randomly from work because she was working in eastern Massachusetts at the time. One time she showed up with Stefan's face was swollen and staff didn't document it and refused to take him to get X-rays, so I drove two hours to meet her there and we took him to an orthodontist and they attempted to take X rays of his face but he was having such anxiety that they weren't able to but doctors were concerned and didn't think that the Swelling was natural, or had to do with his teeth and they believed that he may have hid his face on something very hard to 'cause that type of swelling. All these types of events caused Beth severe emotional distress and she would talk about it for days and the staff would never help her, they wouldn't explain anything to her and they would treat her son like he was stupid, the entire time he was at Crystal Springs their greatest accomplishment that they talked about was getting Stephan to give the thumbs up.
Warren Police Statement Page 1 of 5
After leaving my apartment on October 4, 2021 I was approached by two Warren police
officers, I had been walking South on route 67 for almost 2 hours with my dog. Both officers
told me they were wearing body cameras and I was being recorded, they asked if I was
Richard Stebbins, I said yes, they asked where I was going. I told them to my mothers, my
sisters almost here. They informed me they received a phone call saying I was fighting with my
girlfriend and they asked me if I mind telling them what was going on. I told them that my
girlfriend Beth was very upset and she was arguing with herself and begging me to stay. Beth’s
autistic son was being abused and neglected in a local group home, we had been filing reports
about it, trying to protect him, yet nothing was being done and a new manager that was just
assigned to his house, who was also going to help us expose this abuse and neglect, had just
been fired that morning.
I told officers Beth was also upset about some things my family members had said, my father
told me he didn’t want me getting another car, he didn’t want the driveway looking like a
parking lot, so Beth said she was going to speak with him and stated that she was going to
buy me a car, even though we are having issues with how to access her money at the moment,
so I didn’t know what she was thinking, she just seemed angry.
I told the officers that Beth was very adamant that I get my court paperwork in order to get my
record expunged because she wanted me to become co-guardian of her son Stephen, so I
could deal with all the abuse her son was enduring, since she was totally overwhelmed by it.
I told officers I asked Beth to give me some time, since she knows I am physically disabled,
she knows I have a genetic skeletal muscle disorder and I told her my neck was hurting and I
have a migraine, I tried to get away from Beth, but she kept following me around the house and
insisting that I do what she wanted right then and there, she wanted me listen to what she had
to say, then she followed me upstairs
I told officers that Beth followed me in our middle bedroom, closed the door and held me
against my will for a half hour, preventing me from leaving, threatening to call the police if I
moved her out of the way or if tried to get by her. She kept threatening me, saying she’ll tell
police that I hit her. I told officers, that’s when I told Beth I hadn’t heard any of the other things
she said, I told her I stopped listening when she threatened to call the cops on me, that’s when
she got this crazed look in her eyes and said if I do leave, she’ll never stop and she said she
hopes I do kill myself this time. I told the police that’s when I picked my dog up and used her
as a shield so that Beth would allow me to leave the room, I told Beth to get the fuck out of my
way and that’s when finally Beth left the room and allowed me to exit.
Then I went downstairs, as I was putting my dogs harness on, Beth took that opportunity to
snatch my backpack which had my medication, my dogs medication and other personal
items, Beth was still trying to prevent me from leaving so I left without my backpack. I told
officers that Beth was hoping that these threats of a police officer hurting me and the courts
ruining my life, would force me to stay, but I told her I didn’t care, I told her I just wanted to
leave. I wanted nothing to do with her or her childish behavior, she was just acting selfish. Beth
followed behind me when I left, she really didn’t want me leaving. But I don’t think she was
prepared for the weather to be rainy, she wasn’t there when I looked back.
That’s when officers informed me that Beth claimed I accidentally elbow her in the jaw and they
were going to have to place me under arrest. I repeated to officers that I’m disabled and that
Beth said she was hoping you guys would hurt me, I told officers again that my sister was
already on her way to get us and would be here very soon. I asked officers to be gentle with
Harley, one officer said he’s a K-9 officer. I told officers I had a knife on me. I also told them I
had over a dozen joint surgeries. Officers read me my rights
Warren Police Statement Page 2 of 5
and asked if I wanted to keep talking. I said yes and I told officers I didn’t touch Beth and she
didn’t touch me.
I asked about filing charges against Beth for holding me against my will and stealing my
backpack and officers said I’d have to take it up with a lawyer. I tried pleading and mentioned
the fact that I didn’t snatch my backpack away from her, because I know she also has physical
issues, she’s always complaining about her joints and I know she would’ve been injured if I
yanked it away, officers said there’s nothing they could do about it, since she claimed I
accidentally elbowed her, they said they had to arrest me and neither officer seemed all that
interested. I asked officers multiple times how she’s allowed to get away with this behavior and
they just shrugged. Since officers said they were wearing body cameras, I felt it was important
to keep talking because of their dismissive attitudes and what happened to me in Hampden
county court.
Officers were gentle with me and my dog, while placing me in cuffs and then in the back of a
cruiser, they placed my dog on my lap until my sister arrived. They asked for my license and
asked my contact info. One officer typed things in the computer while the other stood outside
my drivers side rear door.
I told officers this wasn’t the first time Beth locked me in a room and threatened to call the
cops on me if I left, I told them that Beth tried this earlier this year because of the stress she
was going through because of the abuse her son has endured in his Massachusetts group
homes, but I stayed that time and we talked through it. I told them they can go back and ask
Sue, she’s home, I told officers I saw her in front of the sink when I left. I told officers to ask my
sister when she arrives as well, she’s heard Beth tell the story of holding me in the bedroom
dozens of times.
I told officers that Beth was pushing me to get my record expunged because she wanted me to
become her sons co-guardian, I told warren officers I have physical evidence that ada
Katherine Johnston presented a fake receipt in that malicious damage to a motor vehicle case
on my record, she lied about that driver paying for that damaged window. Springfield officers
my altered police report and someone altered the notarized statement that I gave the Hampden
county DA’s office, all to help cover up Springfield officers helping a girl get away with driving
without car insurance and denying me medical attention. I told officers that I wouldn’t have
learned about that receipt if it wasn’t for judge Hadley making facing and remarks.
I told officers that Beth knew about my past suicide attempts and was trying to stress me out,
she was hoping I’d kill myself for leaving her, I also brought up how warren police transported
me to the emergency room in 2016 for a suicide attempt after I escaped the emergency room.
This was after discovering those court documents had been altered and no one I called was
willing to help me, the anxiety caused by my “at the time” undiagnosed hyperthyroidism
caused me to become suicidal.
Officers asked if I was still suicidal, I told them no, it only happens when my thyroid is off. I was
also misdiagnosed with other issues at the time and prescribed meds that made my issues feel
worse. I asked if their vehicles still recorded and they said yes.
I told officers after my last suicide attempt, I had a gun placed to my forehead and the files I
had with me, taken from me at my lawyers office and I was coerced into pleading guilty by my
lawyer Elaine Pourinski, the Supreme Court ada and judge. I didn’t forge that paper and didn’t
need it. I told officers this is the 2016 charge you see on my record. I was a complete disaster
at that time and everyone around me knew it, you officers can see the timeline, I was brought
to the hospital for my third suicide attempt in 4 months, it was the second you officers came to
my home and then I was l coerced into pleading guilty less than two weeks later. thankfully
being positive through that horrible ordeal got me Harley (my dog). that's how I also ended up
Warren Police Statement Page 3 of 5
meeting Beth, all this court stuff destroyed my marriage. Beth’s son was also abused in a
different group home than he’s being neglected in now and it was also covered up, that event
destroyed Beth’s marriage.
I told officers that ever since I met Beth her son had been abused and neglected in every
placement chosen by the commonwealth, she's been harassed by group home managers and
lied to by both group home companies and the state workers who are supposed to oversee her
sons care. Beth tried to buy a house, with the hopes of getting him closer, but the state said
they'd take his funding away if he moves into a home Beth or her son owns. The state pays
hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to abuse these kids in group homes and they only
offered Beth a worker to help her 20 hours a week if she took him home. This stuff would drive
Beth into panics, she couldn't understand how the state could display such disgusting
behavior. This caused her to have nightmares every night and it's not like she was making
things up or exaggerating, the things that I witnessed myself were horrible and Beth dealt with
it as best she could, she handled it better than I would have if that was my son. I told Beth she
could have our apartment, I didn't want to deal with these issues anymore, it was to much.
I told officers Beth needed a mental health evaluation, she was talking to herself in our dining
room, pacing back and forth and then telling me I should hit her if I’m so unhappy before
following me upstairs. She really wants me to kill myself, she’s never going to stop. You didn’t
see the look in her eyes. I’ve never seen her that angry. She’s been really upset about the
constant abuse of her son in these group homes, it’s absolutely disgusting and he’s still being
neglected at highland street in Southbridge. Like I said his house manager was fired this
morning and Beth doesn’t have anyone to help her with her son, I was the only one who ever
stood up for her and her son.
When my sister arrived, one officer brought Harley over to her, they didn’t ask Kathy about
Beth holding me against my will previously or let her come near me to say anything.
After Kathy left, before one of the officers transported me back to the warren police station, he
radioed in his mileage .
We had to drive past my street “South st” on the way to the station and I asked if the officer
could retrieve my backpack, since it had both my medication and my dog’s heart worm
medication in it, along with other personal items. He claimed there was nothing he could do
and I’d have to speak to a lawyer.
When we reached the station, that officer called in his mileage and informed me he needed to
do paperwork and that I would be recorded again inside the station. I felt very lucky to be
recorded and tried starting my story from the beginning. I told him I wished they had that
recording devices years ago, it would’ve prevented so many problems for me. Again I told him
how I was walking though a parking lot, got hit by a car while I was walking. The cops arrived
and arrested me.
At the time I thought it was all a big misunderstanding. That driver didn’t have car insurance
and had a rejection sticker for safety. This officer asked me the last time I was arrested. Then
walked away and started working on his computer. He nodded indicating he typing, so I
stopped talking.
This officer came back and read me my rights again, I agree yes. He never asks any more
questions, so I assume he remembered everything I said and was documenting it in his
computer. This officer asked for my info again.
Warren Police Statement Page 4 of 5
We lingered around at the station for way longer than I expected, the officer was having trouble
taking my finger prints on their electronic scanner and became very frustrated. first he said said
the courts would take me and I’d be released, then he said it was to late the courts wouldn’t be
able to take me, so I’d have to be dropped at the state police station before I could be bailed
out after the court close. I was allowed to use the bathroom uncuffed and alone. When done
the officer places me back in cuffs. He took me out to the vehicle, then went back inside.
This same warren officer transported me to the state police barracks in Brookfield. Before he
left he called in his mileage again.
Along the way I told that officer that Beth knows I’m going to fight this bogus accidental elbow
charge, she’s trying to force me to fight her fights for her. She wants me to expose all the
abuse we’ve witnessed in her sons group home placements. I told this officer how a manager
Rich shook my hand and lied to our faces about making home visits a thing for her son, her
son was constantly restrained and neglected. Then he moves to Uxbridge, the commonwealth
did everything it could to keep him 2 hours away. This new home was just as bad as the last,
her son got a mysterious hand infection that wasn’t documented and then an old manager
Craig comes into the picture and her son starts getting hand prints on his arm, he starts having
weird behaviors in front of this guy. It got so bad I had to pull this guy aside and ask if he
needed help communicating with Beth’s son. This event led to her son moving to the home
he’s being neglected in now. I told the officer about how I drove to this house while recording
the screen. Staff didn’t interact with her son for hours. He was just sitting in a corner doing
nothing. Whenever I see him we go for walks and he’s super curious about what’s going on.
Beth was distraught over that manager being fired this morning. Cynthia seemed like she was
going to be able to help Beth expose all this abuse and neglect going on in these
Massachusetts group homes.
I told this officer about my issues trying to fight that malicious damage charge. I tried to report
springfield police officers aiding that girl driving without car insurance and deleting it off of my
police report. I told him how I contacted the registry and they confirmed that girl didn’t have
insurance, had a rejection sticker for safety and suspended registration, she also drove around
with a suspended license at times. I told him how I contacted cjis and they confirmed that
officer accessed her license plate info and knew she was driving illegally, I told this officer that
because of judge Hadley I learned the Ada passed in a fake receipt as proof this girl paid for
her window, but I learned from the window place that the girl never paid and skipped out on
the bill. They gave me a copy of the receipt they faxed to her old insurance company. Then I
tried reporting these officers, but their fellow investigators helped cover up how they denied me
medical attention. I also learned the notarized statement I wrote was altered to hide things
officers told me. Once I learned about the receipt being fake, the commonwealth charged me
with forgery and I was ready to fight this in court, but then i got really sick and ended up trying
to commit suicide from all the stress I was going through, then some guy puts a gun to my
head in the hallway outside my lawyer Elaine Pourinskis office in Northampton. She knew I was
a mess and used that to coerce me into pleading guilty, even though she knew I didn’t forge
anything. The prosecutor and judge were also in on this. We talked in the hallway before
pleading and i was told what the judge wanted to hear. I told the officer how pissed the judge
looked when I said something different. I said I didn’t remember forging it, but I must have
cause I wanted it. Everyone knew I didn’t need it to prove anything, I already had a
preponderance of evidence, but I was sick and I fell apart, then the courts took advantage of
me. After court I was told that I was lucky the judge didn’t throw me in jail for my stunt. I still
haven’t been able to get a recording of that hearing.
I told the officer that Beth and I talked about fighting the commonwealth every single day of our
relationship, she knows all about my issues with the courts and I know all about the horrible
things that happened to her. I told Beth I can’t take this anymore and she won’t let me walk
away. That is why she said I hit her by accident, she really thinks that forcing me into court with
Warren Police Statement Page 5 of 5
actually help. I told the officer I couldn’t take it anymore, I’ve tried for years to expose what
happened and no one cares, no one ever has any answers. That’s exactly what drove Beth
crazy, she had nightmares every night and constantly worried about her sons safety. Even
though he’s finally closer, these companies still have the same problems and keep lying to our
faces.
Beth isn’t going to stop, she knows how impossible it is to expose all this, she really hopes I
get stressed and kill myself fighting this charge.
Officer called in mileage when we got to state police barracks.
I like to point out that even though warren officers were gentle with me and my dog, given the
nature of my genetic muscle issues and past surgical history, I could've been severely injured
by my arrest, I was no threat to anyone, I consider what they did to be kidnapping, following
Beth's commands. Especially because they failed to charge her for what she did to me. I didn't
touch her and she didn't touch me, she was trying to force me to stay and I wanted to leave.
She had no right to try holding me against my will or using police to do the same. She
shouldn’t have been able to keep my backpack and rummage though my stuff.
