Amanda Bacolas Crimes against her family
What ever happened to baby Jane...

This content is for other survivors of narcissistic menticide abuse.
Since the publication of this site originally in 2020, the smear campaign against the father intensified and adoption fraud was perpetrated to illegitimately take his two sons.
The narcissists had no contact with the minor children of Michael Robertson for four years prior to these events. They had no concern or lovc for their younger siblings. These heinous acts were designed solely to cause pain and anguish to their non narcissist father and is an insidious display of depravity and cruelty.
These are hereditary narcissists, progeny of Julia Bacolas. Below this section is the text of the original juliebacolas.com website. The author felt it necessary to keep the original content as it was a healing endeavor from decades of narcissistic abuse by Julie Bacolas and her narcissist family.
The author, Michael Robertson, is NOT running any type of smear campaign. All the allegations and evidence cited is for the narcissist subjects themselves. The truth is despised by narcissists as it reveals their depravity. Therefore, all the content has been fact checked for accuracy.

It appears the Machiavellian narcissist Bacolas sisters are at it again, in business with David Quinn, with a criminal record that includes: felonies for fraudulent schemes, conspiracy, and theft.

https://juliebacolas.com/david-quinn-arizona
Amongst the various long history of David Quinn and cohorts defrauding consumers and the elderly out of property and assets, is a recent BBB complaint in Virginia specifically implicating David Quinn in defrauding a cognitively impaired elderly woman out of $25,000, with his dba, Quinn's Auction Gallery:
Evidence indicates that Amanda Bacolas and Christopher Bacolas may be parties to a potential criminal scheme targeting the elderly in Sun City and Maricopa County. Jennifer Bacolas has the most malignant form of NPD, inherited from Machiavellian Julia Bacolas:

Prior to incorporating another of David Quinn's fraudulent schemes in Arizona, under dba, 360 Estate Sales & Cleaning, the Bacolas children's new "father figure" has long history of defrauding consumers and the elderly, as evidenced here:

Amanda Bacolas Brand Manager and Google reviews specialist for 360 Estate Sales & Cleaning fraudulent scheme.
Amanda Bacolas is contributing technical support and social media fulfillment for this scheme, from her experience working at her father's place of business as a social media specialist and Technical Support Supervisor that performed brand and reputation management for small businesses and professionals. The following is Amanda Bacolas' LinkedIn profile for her position while employed at her father's place of business:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-bacolas-4a419519
On June 8, 2020, Jennifer Bacolas incorporated a business in the State of Arizona with David Quinn:
https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_az/23093866
The business is 360 Estate Sales & Cleaning and the brand management for this business on Google appears to be piggy backing a legitimate business of the same name in the State of California, which incorporated in 2012 and has full brand management online for the same business Jennifer Bacolas incorporated in 2020. It is assumed the address of the Virginia scheme was meant to comingle the Google results of these several fraudulent enterprises:
This is the legitimate 360 Estate Sales company this scheme is using the brand management to target elderly in Arizona, an established business since 2012 with a good online reputation:
It is believed Jennifer Bacolas partnered with sibling Amanda Bacolas for her technical expertise in furtherance of this potentially criminal scheme.
The co-owner listed with the Arizona Corporation Commission is David Quinn of Arizona.
Most disturbing on David Quinn's long criminal history in the State of Arizona is two class 2 felony convictions for fraudulent schemes, and one class 2 felony conviction for conspiracy.
Equally disturbing regarding David Quinn's career in fraudulent schemes and conspiracy is his two prior felony convictions for class 3 felonies in the State of Arizona for theft. It is apparent this scheme is targeting the elderly for theft of property in Virginia.
https://www.yelp.com/biz/360-estate-sales-and-cleaning-sun-city
The online branding of this 360 scheme with Amanda and Jennifer Bacolas appears to be targeting the elderly in Sun City and Maricopa County, Arizona:
https://www.estatesales.net/companies/AZ/Sun-City-West/85375/141944
Proof of Amanda's participation in this scheme is evidence by an illegitimate review she posted on the Google (Amanda b) for 360 Estate Sales & Cleaning, fraudulently claiming she was a customer to build online brand trust with potential victims this enterprise is targeting.
The name listed on the website for 360 Estate Sales & Cleaning has Jennifer Bacolas listed as "Jenn Quinn" which is not her legal name, not the name the business was incorporated under with the Arizona Corporation Commission in 2020, misrepresents her true identity in the community as an individual suffering from malignant NPD, and would be in violation of bonding requirements, if bonded at all, would be under her legal name of Jennifer Bacolas, and not an alias of Jenn Quinn:
https://www.360estatesales.com/360team
It is believed Jennifer Bacolas and David Quinn is using Christopher Bacolas for his skills in web design, brand management, and SEO to borrow the online reputation of another business in California with the same name:
https://www.bizapedia.com/az/prime-exposure-advertising.html
Those skills were learned when Christopher was employed at their father's place of business, which his malignancies created havoc with customers and damaged the reputation of the business.
Based on posts already made in support of this scheme online, it's apparent Amanda Bacolas is assisting in online branding and social media development, to assist in masking this enterprise with a legitimate company's existing online brand already on Google, and in business in the State of California since 2012.
This legitimate California business shares the same Google search results with the scheme perpetrated by Jennifer Bacolas and her cohorts, so the "enterprise" was branded online to comingle their online presence with an established company with a good reputation since 2012, and naming his Arizona venture after the address of his scheme in Virginia (360 S Washington St, Falls Church, VA 22046).
This is not the first instance of poor online conduct Amanda Bacolas has committed against business and individuals in the community. Her performance as Technical Support Supervisor caused major issues with a myriad of customers for her father, which led to her termination from employment in 2012.
Jennifer was employed as a content writer for reputation management clients for press releases and website text creation, at Internet Website Design Concepts, between 2009 - 2011.
Jennifer Bacolas has no brand management experience and relies on her sister's experience n furtherance of her schemes.
Amanda Bacolas was employed as technical support and social media specialist for reputation management clients at Internet Website Design Concepts, between 2009 - 2012:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-bacolas-4a419519
Amanda has three years specialized experience as a brand management specialist, and is the only one of the sisters who could execute a brand management camaiign competently for this scheme.
Amanda Bacolas' brand management has distorted NPD behaviors that hurt people and businesses in Arizona.
Jennifer Bacolas and her brother were employed at a company in Arizona, Valley Environmental Resources.
Amanda Bacolas posted a negative review about Valley Environmental Resources on the businesses Yelp page on December 4, 2020 (Amanda b), fraudulently claiming to be a disgruntled customer:
https://www.yelp.com/biz/valley-environmental-resources-peoria
This is the malignancy with individuals with NPD...they even write false and defamatory negative reviews of the employer of their own brothers and sisters. Bizarre.
October 2, 2021 Update:
Since exposing this interstate fraudulent scheme, Amanda Bacolas has used her branding skills to mask her involvement. The google reviews for 360 Estate Sales & Cleaning have been removed and there is no indication any reviews were ever placed for this business, as Amanda Bacolas' and all the reviews were bogus, in support of this highly fraudulent enterprise targeting elderly citizens in the financial exploitation of their property and assets.
Jennifer Bacolas' highly fraudulent participation in this scheme has also been masked since exposing her involvement in the community, as the 360 Estate Sales & Cleaning website has deleted both Jennifer's bogus alias as "Jenn Quinn" and David Quinn's true identity as an owner.
https://www.360estatesales.com/360team
Narcissists make the most horrible criminals!
In 2021, the Bacolas sisters and David Quinn removed the Google reviews for 360 Estate Sales & Cleaning, to cover up the fraudulent brand building of Amanda Bacolas in that scheme. after reports were made to the community and law enforcement:
That behavior was repeated in April, 2022, when accused sex traffickers and business associates of Jennifer and Amanda Bacolas, White Glove Estate Sales, removed their Google reviews, after Cookie Lynn's 2018 post exposing that scheme as a front operation:
https://juliebacolas.com/mike-faust-dcs-complaints
Don't you people realize by deleting your identities and involvement, it shows your guilt in these several matters?
Forgot...narcissist brains...my bad?
Google still has a record of all those fraudulent reviews implicating you all. They also have the originals of the website, and so does Michael Robertson.
https://amandabacolas.com/amanda-bacolas/f/bacolas-children-the-worlds-dumbest-criminals
David and Matt Quinn have very cozy accommodations waiting for them in prison.
You kids never thought you were going to jail? (Forgot...delusions of grandiosity...narcissists...gotcha!):
https://juliebacolas.com/christopher-bacolas
It would be favorable to your impending incarceration for these perpetrators to immediately begin the deprogramming of Michael Robertson's children. The court does not look favorably towards the psychological abuse of minors. Get them ready for their father, it will make things less harsh on all of you.

Michael Robertson's 1998 Master's Thesis Completed with this case study:
In 2009, Julia Bacolas conducted a menticide against her severely mentally ill (SMI) children from her first marriage, dually diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Her children were already symptomatic of mental illness, due to the hereditary dispositions of Julia Bacolas, whose malignant genetic NPD was already heavily documented at the end of her marriage and during the divorce and custody proceedings in 1998.
This website is a case study of a Machiavellian malignant narcissist and her NPD heredity which was passed to her children, with case studies of each SMI individual in support of this thesis. This study is a conclusion of Michael Robertson's unfinished Master's Thesis, "Accelerating Children's Cognitive Development." The conclusion is apparent: Children who are prescreened in early cognitive testing with brain abnormalities of cognitive, language, and developmental dysfunction should not have their cognitive development accelerated, as those early childhood screenings of cognitive retardation are indicative of abnormal brain development, which are cognitive markers for Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Children who are identified in early childhood cognitive screenings for NPD should not have their cognitive development accelerated, as it produces adults with higher levels of criminal and malignant reasoning, and exasperates their hereditary dispositions for the expression of severe mental illness as adults.
These conclusions do not imply children with developmental cognitive delays as markers for NPD should not receive special needs services to become adaptive children. These conclusions support the premise that beyond special needs interventions, NPD children should not have their cognitive development accelerated to gifted and genius levels, as individuals suffering from this disorder have areas of the brain with abnormalities in the expression of emotional and cognitive empathy. Therefore, accelerating children to a gifted level of intelligence with an absence, or low, cognitive function for empathy, has the deleterious effect of creating adult individuals with hyper criminality and malignancy with the diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

When dealing with malignant narcissism, the perpetrators must be faced with the truth of their conduct, for proper mental health awareness and healing can take place with the perpetrators of such abuse.

And finally, the content is used as a case study in the treatment of other survivors of narcissistic abuse.

Amanda Bacolas Infancy
Amanda Jane Bacolas was born in 1991 in Phoenix, Arizona.
While Michael Robertson attended university as a freshman for his undergraduate studies, he was forced to operate his parents restaurant in Scottsdale, Arizona, as his parents suffered from illness.
Consequently, the father was out of the home for the first two years of Amanda Bacolas' infancy.
Amanda's mother, Julie Bacolas, was the primary care giver at this time.
Michael was out of the home for the first two years of Amanda Bacolas' infancy dealing with his elderly parents, their business, and his undergraduate studies.
Amanda Bacolas was born an "undeveloped" baby, which is obvious in her early baby and toddler pictures.
The children's mother, Julia Bacolas, was generally apathetic toward parenting her new born baby and other children. The father learned that while he was out of the home, the mother rarely held the baby and relegated the child to her crib and playpen, where the baby Amanda received deficient care and maternal interaction, necessary for a toddler's physical, emotional, and cognitive development.
https://cchp.ucsf.edu/sites/g/files/tkssra181/f/buildbabyinten081803_adr.pdf
Amanda Bacolas early childhood cognitive retardation indicated brain abnormalities & markers for malignant narcissism
Amanda Bacolas and her siblings were screened through the Washington School District at three years old with severe developmental, language, and cognitive deficits.
The measurements used to determine these disabilities were the Cognitive Abilities Test and later, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children.
Amanda's siblings, Michael Jr. and Jennifer Bacolas, had global test scores showing extreme developmental delays and cognitive intelligence IQ scores borderline mentally retarded (1991 - 1996 test results from Special Needs Programs at Manzanita Elementary School and the Washington School District will be produced upon request).
Amanda Bacolas suffered the greatest deficits....globally the child scored 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 standards below the "mean" on these cognitive tests, with an IQ reflective of a child with mental retardation (IQ scores below 70).
These cognitive and developmental issues with the Bacolas children altered the educational and career path for Michael Robertson, away from pre-law undergraduate studies and ultimately a career in law with a Juris Doctor, to an education in developmental psychology and graduate coursework in counseling and childhood cognitive development.
Accelerating Amanda Bacolas Cognitive Development
Due to severe cognitive, developmental, and language delays with Amanda Bacolas and her siblings, Michael changed his course of studies to developmental psychology and instituted a rigorous intervention utilizing the most current research on correcting cognitive deficiencies in children.
Michael Robertson completed his undergraduate research project, which later became the outline for his Master's Thesis, "Accelerating Children's Cognitive Development" and applied those theories to the developmental and cognitive delays with Amanda Bacolas and her siblings. Consequently, the child experienced rapid dendritic growth and went from an IQ of mental retardation to a child in adolescence with average intelligence. The interventions Michael Robertson used on Amanda did not have the dramatic results as exhibited with her siblings, who received special needs services through the remainder of their elementary school years at the Washington School District in Phoenix, Arizona, for the gifted and talented (school records and cognitive test scores showing progress from cognitive retardation to giftedness is available upon request).
An enriching environment, intellectual stimulation, and a high amino acid diet was the key to remedying Amanda Bacolas and her siblings cognitive and mental disabilities.
Although Manzanita School School resisted and initially denied the father's attempts to have Amanda and her siblings in all day programs in preschool, Michael Robertson successfully lobbied the Washington School District to allow Amanda and her sister to attend Special Needs Preschool and the Head Start Program concurrently, achieving the educational goals Michael Robertson had for intellectual enrichment and stimulation of his cognitively deficient children (school records available upon request).
Amanda Bacolas Moral Development: Lawrence Kohlberg
Paramount to the development and advancement of his children's development, was Michael
Robertson's belief and conviction that moral development was the key to producing adaptive children.
Due to stressors associated with his custody as a single parent in 1998 and the development of sociopathic and narcissistic traits with the Bacolas children in their late childhood and into their adolescence, Michael Robertson enrolled all his children in catechism at the Catholic Church, which they completed and was confirmed. In late adolescence, Amanda and her siblings were baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ, Latter Day Saints to continue their moral education.
However, extreme narcissism came to fruition in the children's late adolescence, from what was believed were brain abnormalities based on the children's developmental and cognitive delays (areas of the brain responsible for empathy), the issues of abuse and neglect by their mother stemming from the 1998 custody, and a menticide perpetrated by the mother after a nine year absence of maternal abandonment. Subsequently, the Bacolas children developed narcissistic personality traits and severe mental illnesses by early adulthood.
Unfortunately, due to their developmental disabilities from childhood and physiologically deficiencies in the brain area for responsible for empathy, Amanda Bacolas and her siblings did not proceed past stage one Lawrence Kholberg's stages of Moral Development.
Introduction of Twalla Robertson into the family dynamic
Michael Robertson married his second wife, Twalla Robertson, in 2008, and had two little boys.
Amanda and her siblings were very angry with the marriage as they viewed Michael's new wife as taking resources they should be the beneficiary of (narcissist adult children), they resented the second wife because Michael turned over his personal and financial affairs to her so he could focus on his mentally ill older children and parenting his two little boys (Twalla Robertson was the CFO and financial secretary for the business), they were angry because Twalla Robertson favored her own daughter over them (which she should have), they were very unhappy because Twalla Robertson had a severe alcohol and drug addiction problem (which diverted "their money' for her own habits), and due to those issues, the older children resented their father due to the mental and abusive relationship with Twalla due to her drug and alcohol abuse issues.
AMANDA BACOLAS THE FLYING MONKEY
Period of Estrangement
The last time Michael Robertson saw Amanda Bacolas was in 2014, in his living room when Twalla Robertson degraded her for not going to college and telling Amanda that her daugther, Kalin Wynne, would be a better person because she had enrolled in a paramedic certificate program at Glendale Community College.
Michael Robertson has not spoken to his daughter again since this incident.
Kalin Wynne dropped out of college the following semester.
Her father attempted contact with his daughter from the cardiac unit of Del Webb hospital in Surprise, Arizona, in 2015, when an adverse effect from a medication he was taking caused symptoms of a cardiac arrest.
At that time, Michael Robertson called Amanda's work and feigned to be her brother to get through the screening so she would take his call. He thought he was having a heart attack and wanted to see his daughter.
Amanda responded with a bizarre cell phone text that was out of character for a girl, who up to that point, had no symptoms of mental illness. Did his daughter succumb to severe mental illness as well from the continuous onslaught of insanity from her severe mentally ill siblings, the continuous menticide by the mother (Julie Bacolas), or was she beginning to show signs of severe mental illness that was undetected, but eventually came out in time due to her genetic predispositions, inherited from her mother?
That question cannot be answered because Michael Robertson has not seen his daughter since 2014. However, due to her behavior regarding his father's dependency, her willingness to become a flying monkey for her cohorts and the state of Arizona, and the atrocious defamation of character she perpetrated on her father...generalities and assumptions can be made regarding Amanda Bacolas' mental health.
Michael Robertson wanted to make contact with his daughter when he had a stroke in 2016, paralyzing the right side of his face and disfiguring his upper lip (requiring plastic surgery). He wanted to make contact with his daughter when he was diagnosed with Parkinsonism Syndrome (tardive dyskinesia), but Michael Robertson felt it best to distance himself from his severely mentally ill older offspring and focus on dealing with substance abuse and parenting issues regarding his second wife, Twalla Robertson.
Julie Bacolas return, menticide, and DCS noxious placement
In 2009, Michael Robertson responded to his ex-wives request to see her now adolescent children. The father allowed this contact in an attempt to mend the broken family unit (left in ruins by her neglect, exposing Amanda's sister to sexual abuse by her boyfriend, and maternal abandonment). Michael Robertson allowed Julia Bacolas back into the children's lives after a nine year absence.
The father has extreme empathy and saw the need for family healing.
The mother, the hereditary conveyer of narcissism to her offspring, is a Machiavellian and devoid of empathy.
Julia Bacolas' goals were "reputational" and in line with her maladaptive behavior patterns of narcissism.
The mother refabricated an alternate reality to her severely mentally ill offspring, children who inherited her cognitive and developmental deficits, with behavioral health issues as young adults, directly tied to her apathy, drug use, and abuse and neglect of her children in the 1990s:
This mental manipulation of the severely mentally ill led to the expression of bipolar disorder with psychotic features with Jennifer Bacolas, schizoaffective disorder and a life of disability with the second oldest son, and arrested psychosexual and psychosocial development with her older son, which makes him a threat to my minor children, his own children, and families in the community (a disorder the other siblings hide from the public, but is common knowledge to everyone).
https://jenniferbacolas.com/jennifer-marie-bacolas
DCS was made aware of these risks of exposing his minor children to these severely mentally ill adults, but Lisa Millett ignored the concerns and warnings of Michael Robertson (specifically regarding his oldest mentally ill son). The Arizona Department of Child Safety, Lisa MIllett, and Joelle Higby thought that putting the children in harms way was in the better interests of the state than to return the minor children back to a heavily vetted and credentialed father. Thus, the "modus operandi" of Lisa Millett and the Department of Child Safety in Arizona:
Amanda Bacolas broken promise
In 2010, Michael Robertson expressed concern to Amanda Bacolas regarding the extreme mental health symptoms and behaviors exhibited by her three siblings.
At that conversation, Amanda admitted to her father that Julie Bacolas had a "family meeting" with three of the siblings (Christopher was notably absent and not invited as he witnessed his mother's abuse first hand, he gave testimony to DCS investigators regarding the neglect and abuse by Julie Bacolas, and he had extreme animosity because of her failure to take responsibility for her desertion of her children for a sex predator).
https://juliebacolas.com/manipulation-of-children
Amanda did not "buy in" to the menticide that was being perpetrated by the mother, but Jennifer Bacolas (suffering from repressed trauma) and the older son (suffering psychosexual and psychosocial arrested development from his mother's neglect, abuse, and inherited cognitive deficiencies) "bought in" to the narcissist mother's mental manipulation and refabrication of reality for purely reputational purposes: Julie didn't want to be known as the neglectful crystal meth addict who exposed her children to a pedophile and deserted them for nine years....but that is actually the person Julie Bacolas was, and is.
It is a common coping mechanism for children of abuse to seek approval and affirmation from the abusing parent. The Stockholm Syndrome occurs when children or abuse victims may come to sympathize with the abusive parent. This is the opposite of the fear, terror, and disdain that might be expected from the victims in these situations.(Lorde, 2021).
Amanda Bacolas was very apologetic to her father for the behaviors of her sister and brother, and she knew what Julie Bacolas was doing....lying to save face with her children....severely mentally ill and cognitively challenged from childhood.
At the conclusion of that conversation with her father, Amanda Bacolas promised to never turn on her father or buy into a reality she knew was not true, as the young lady was of sound mind and body at this time, and had no symptoms of genetic or environmental mental illness like her siblings. Amanda had a grasp of reality and remembered her childhood.
That promise was broken in 2020.
2018 DCS removal of children while under the mother's care
Michael Robertson's two minor children were taken from their mother Twalla Robertson's care, while he was out of the home, in 2018.
HIgh on opiates and intoxicated on alcohol at the time of removal, Twalla Robertson made inflammatory statements regarding the parenting of Michael Robertson, in hopes of keeping the children and deflecting her own deficiencies present at the time of removal.
Twalla Robertson was aware that her husband was in the process of leaving the relationship and taking custody of their common children.
That disparagement did not keep the children in Twalla's care, and they removed the children forthwith based on her insobriety and apathetic parenting that was already documented from previous encounters she had with DCS prior to that dependency.
It is assumed the investigator was unaware that Michael Robertson had changed his name in 2017 (previously Michael Bacolas, Sr.), and that he had successfully completed two family preservation programs from DCS involvement based on parenting issues with Twalla Robertson.
It is worth noting that the family preservation programs are intense and last three months, with three days of parent aid interventions a week, intervews once a week with the children by a DCS specialist, and a counselor once a week in the home during the program.
On both family preservation programs (2016 and 2017), Michael Robertson was fully vetted by the Arizona Department of Child Safety as a fit and proper parent, and the children were safe and well provided for in his care.
It was assumed the investigator did not know Michael Robertson's credentials, his past history of a parent of multiple traumas with his family, his seven vettings by the department over a 23 year period, nor his reputation with the church, neighbors, or the community as an outstanding and involved parent.
Michael Robertson immediately demanded the return of his children to his care, and was extremely boisterous regarding civil liability toward the department if his children were not returned forthwith.
Apparently, with the millions of dollars paid out annually by the State of Arizona to parents who were wronged by DCS, it's better for the state's interest do destroy a vetted father, abuse survivor, and respected member of the community in order to pay out yet another settlement for egregious wrongs committed by the Arizona Department of Child Safety.
Disgusting display of government interference and intrusion in the American family!
False pleadings and the return of the children in January 2020
The Department of Child Safety in Arizona had no valid case in 2019 for a dependency against Michael Robertson.
Due to a medical condition and his attorney's failure to show up to court for a scheduled hearing, DCS and the state filed and was granted a default judgment on an erroneous severance.
An appeal was filed with the Arizona Court of Appeals, and prior to the court reversing the default against the vetted Michael Robertson, the State withdrew the original default and severance based on "errors". Those errors being outright false pleadings by the state as DCS had no case, no evidence, and no cause to justify a severance of parental rights on a fit parent.
In January, 2020, Michael Robertson was preparing for a return of his two minor sons to his care. Celebrations were abound from church member, parents in the community, neighbors, co-workers, business associates, and friends who knew Michael Robertson and the trauma he had endured at the hands of a rogue DCS by removing his children from his care.
A tort attorney was contacted to represent Michael Robertson and his minor children for the illegitimate and tortious interference with his parenting and the pain and suffering caused by the state and the Arizona Department of Child Safety by the wrongful removal of his children.
Case closed!
Apparently, the rules of "double jeopardy" does not apply to a government agency, hell bent on removing a child from a fit parent in order to avoid a multi-million dollar civil judgment for government misconduct.
A second severance was filed by the department and the state in February, 2020. Unbelievable. The 23 year abuse survivor was now a target of more abuse by his own government, to mitigate an obvious civil judgment against the State of Arizona and the bad PR that would create for the agency.
Michael Robertson was now a victim of malicious prosecution by Arizona DCS and the State of Arizona.
Enter Amanda Bacolas and the flying monkeys
Michael Robertson consulted with legal analysts, and was informed that a parent could not prevail on a civil suit against the State of Arizona for improper removal of children and department misconduct in the matters, unless the parent bringing the cause of action has physical custody of the minor children in question.
The department filed the second severance in order to deny parenting rights to Michael Robertson, in an effort to deny him physical custody of his children, preventing him from pursuing civil damages in a potential law suit against DCS employees Lisa Millett and Joelle Higby, the Arizona Department of Child Safety, and the State of Arizona.
Since the Plaintiff, Michael Robertson, was a retired counselor serving families and children in the community, founder of a non profit for abused women and children in 2004, a documented survivor of domestic abuse over 23 years that included sexual assault of two daughters within a ten year period, and fully vetted as a fit parent seven times with DCS (most recent 2017, prior to the 2018 dependency). Given such a history of the petitioner father in a civil suit....the damages awarded were assumed punitive!
The misconduct by the employees of the Arizona Department of Child Safety is highly documented and is a "prima facia" case of tortious interference with a parent child relationship and the domino effect of tortious causes of action that followed.
The Department of Child Safety had to protect their department and the state of Arizona from another civil suit and payout of damages.
The second severance was filed against the father, having no case of parental impropriety, DCS weaved a false narrative and bizarre character assassination of Michael Robertson in an attempt to prejudice the court to the point of favoring a family placement with his minor children with his oldest daughter, Amanda Bacolas.
The flying moneys, severely mentally ill older children from his first marriage were introjected by the department. Although the Department of Child Safety had full documentation of abuse, cognitive impairment, and levels of maternal neglect by their mother (severely mentally ill), the department used these impeachable witnesses for testimony only designed to put prejudice and a question of concern before the court.
Psychotic babblings were taken. laden with defamation and slander against the parent which included serial kidnappings of children, child dismemberment and mutilation, animal abuse which included putting dogs in bags and slamming them on walls, raping children, etc. The bizarre testimony of these "witnesses" were impeached successfully. Their rants were known to the department prior to the first severance in 2019, but DCS didn't not use these "witnesses" or pursue such statements as they were ridiculous and obviously the ravings of detached severely mentally ill adult children, still living in the trauma of abuse inflicted by Julie Bacolas, and her constant menticide in their adulthood.
Furthermore, the rants of these mentally ill people did not coincide with the facts in DCS's own files on the family history. It was obvious to all parties involved these siblings were lying out of malice.
However, in a last ditch effort by the Arizona Department of Child Safety to prevail in an illegitimate second severance, these "witnesses" and their insane testimony was paraded before the court, again in an attempt to create a level of prejudice that the court would side with family placement to Michael Robertson's daughter, and better to "err on the side of caution" in light of the highly inflammatory, and impeachable, witness testimony.
Amanda Bacolas and her cohorts became flying monkeys for their mother's menticide, for the State of Arizona's efforts to avoid paying out another civil settlement, and because Amanda Bacolas is the only family member childless, assumed barren
Narcissistic abuse of a parent & caregiver
Amanda Bacolas is the adult child who accused her father of being a serial kidnapper of children in the community and and that he mutated and dismembered their bodies to hide his crimes of child rape. At the end of the dependency it was apparent the state had no evidence that Michael Roberson was not a fit parent to his minor boys from his second marriage.
The covert narcissist exposed herself, the only daughter with no children of her own, childless, in need of a narcissistic supply as a parent to feed the grandiosity she once had as a child and adolescent in her father's home.
False Accusations of Dismemberment Based on a Family Tragedy
Friday, May 1, 1992, Rodney King Riots...
On Friday, May 1, 1992, Michael Robertson saved his neighbor from an assault by a gang, at the time of the Rodney King riots.
The event was a skirmish in Phoenix during those riots at 5530 N 17th Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85015.
The neighbor was Jose Ramon Favella/Jose Ramon Favella Ramirez.
Mr. Favella and his family became close friends and neighbors of Michael Robertson, the Bacolas sisters, and the family.
Jose Favella and his wife claimed to be the “adopted god parents” of Defendants Amanda and Jennifer Bacolas, and were in the Bacolas family home with the defendants for years and had a personal and close relationship with the family.
In 1996, Mr. Favella’s sister was brutally murdered and her body dismembered by her husband in the state of California.
This event caused great trauma to both families.
Michael Robertson's best friend's sister was a victim of murder and dismemberment in 1996!
In 2002, the minor son of his deceases sister visited Arizona and accidentally discharged Mr. Favella’s handgun, while his nephew was in possession, striking the boy’s 16 year old girlfriend in the head, killing her.
Jose Ramon Favella never recovered from those events. Jose became a violent person. In 2020, when Amanda Bacolas contrived false statements of her father dismembering children’s bodies etc., the Plaintiff refused to contact the Favella family.
The testimony of the Favellas could have ended the juvenile severance proceedings in 2020, as they had close intimate contact and first hand knowledge of the Plaintiff and his adult children between 1991 and 2004
Michael Robertson refused to contact the Favella family in 2020, for fears Jose would harm Defendants Jennifer and Amanda Bacolas, based on his criminal record between 2004 and 2020, and what accusations of child dismemberment against his best friend, the Plaintiff, whom he loved, and knew would be false.
Father's best friend would have come "unhinged" at accusations made of child dismemberment by Amanda Bacolas!
Jose Ramon Favella would have come unhinged at the knowledge of defendant’s use of false accusations of child dismemberment, in light of the trauma he experienced with the dismemberment murder of his own sister.
The Favellas were in the Plaintiff’s home on a daily basis during the times of the false abuse reported by Defendant Jennifer Bacolas.
Child dismemberment false accusations continuation of Julie Bacolas' NPD Menticide!
Plaintiff believes outside influences were encouraging Defendant Amanda Bacolas to make accusations of child dismemberment, to make the credible witnesses of the Favella family useless in light of the obvious potential of harm disclosure of the those accusations would cause the Defendants by Jose Favella.
Jose Ramon Favella and his family will be subpoenaed as witnesses in US District Court and Superior Court of Arizona cases pending.
Jose & Isabelle Favella are the adopted god parents of Amanda and Jennifer Bacolas!
The Favellas had first hand intimate knowledge of the Michael Robertson, Julie Bacolas, and the Bacolas children, as best friend of the Michael, the adopted god parents of Amanda and Jennifer Bacolas, the next door neighbors, and close friends of the Bacolas family between 1991 and 2004.
Family Dismemberment Tragedy in 1996...
Amanda Bacolas' bizarre and abnormal accusations of child dismemberment, serial kidnapping, and animal abuse is inline with personalities in the spectrum of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)
"Smear campaigns can be launched by telling blatant lies about the victim, spreading rumors or “suggestions” which call into doubt the sanity of the victim with an air of faux concern, or even concocting false evidence to isolate the victim from outside support." (Coelho, 2022),
Amanda Bacolas, the Flying Monkey!
Julie Bacolas conducted menticide on her severely mentally ill children, then a smear campaign!
Beginning of the smear campaign...
Julie's smear campaign began in 1997...
Julie's smear campaign against Michael Robertson began when she tried to deflect her crystal meth use, prostitution to support that habit, and her three desertions and apathy toward parenting leading up to Michael Robertson's ultimate filing for divorce in May of 1998.
I. EARLY HISTORY DISPARAGEMENT
Since Michael Robertson was a university tutor, at least half a dozen students would meet at his home and do nightly study sessions at his home, and these groups formed close friendships during these undergraduate and postgraduate years. in the 1990s.
During the times of Julie's issues, she began to disparage Michael Roberson to our peers by saying he's paranoid, illogical, and "crazy." It was only after Julie "crashed" on crystal meth use did she admit to her drug addiction and behaviors towards to family, first to Shannon, who went on to work in the field after graduation. Then, she admitted her drug addition and behaviors to the rest of our peers. Shannon, an African American from Brooklyn, New York, commented that he would never trust women again, based on Julie's deception and lies leading up to her admission. Her personality as a sociopath was exposed, as was the narcissist abuse Michael Robertson endured during these times of disparagement.
According to author, Peg Streep (June 27, 2019:
"The smear campaign is born out of a combination of factors, including the need to be right and have his or her “truth” become the prevailing script, retaining status and standing (making sure that his or her inner hidden shame doesn’t become public), and maintaining control of his or her image. The woman or man high in narcissistic traits curates her or his public persona very carefully; appearing successful, accomplished, and together is all-important."
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/tech-support/201906/dealing-the-narcissists-smear-campaign
Julie tried to promote an alternate reality of victim hood in 1998,, but the testimony of our peers, schoolmates, neighbors, family friends, nurses, case workers, behavioral health records, police reports, investigative reports, counseling audio tapes, and documentary evidence presented overwhelmingly exposed Julie Bacolas as the sociopath narcissist perpetrator she was. Instead of seeking mental health assistance for her sexually abused youngest daughter, she skipped out of town in the middle of her 1998 divorce with her boyfriend, to avoid his questioning and potential prosecution for he crimes of sexually assaulting a minor.
This page explains who Ed Stoffers is, what he did to my family,, and what he is continuing to do to perpetrate upon society in the post sexual abuse of my youngest daughter:
https://juliebacolas.com/ed-stoffers
II. Julie Bacolas return after 9 years of child abandonment, menticide on her severely mentally ill children, and the 12 year smear campaign executed against Michael Robertson.
Julia Bacolas was absent from her four children’s lives from 1998 until 2005. In 2005, she made a brief two hour visit with the children, unannounced. That year, she came back to Phoenix for mother’s day.Her second oldest son, 15 years old in 2005, was committed to St. Luke's behavioral health unit for adolescents, the fist in a sting of in patient psychiatric treatments that was precipitated with the trauma associated with the young man's mother's return. This is the year that pedophiic behaviors started to be notice with the oldest son. There was no indication of reprogramming her children for an alternate reality, but for one argument the youngest and oldest children had with her prior to her departure.
Julie visited again in 2006, which was the same year of continued expression of pedophilia in her oldest son. She was was absent from the children's lives for approximately two years, until 2008. Julie made phone contact with the children periodically between 2006 and 2008, promising to relocate to Arizona to be close to the children, promising visits for Christmas that never happened, and promising to be part of her children’s lives, which never occurred. Between 2008 and 2009, three of Julie's children became severely mentally ill, one with schitzoaffective disorder, one with pedophilia, and the third, the repressed victim of the sexual assault of Julie's boyfriend, became symptomatic of bipolar disorder with psychotic features. In hindsight, these ad adolescent children became symptomatic of severe mental illness that correlates with Julie Bacolas' reintroduction into their lives, the menticide perpetrated upon the children on her return, and the resulting smear campaign against Michael Robertson, the father, that continues to this day.
In 2009, Julie Bacolas reentered her family's life and perpetrated a narcissistic smear campaign!
After returning to her then adolescent children's lives after a nine year abandonment, Julie perpetrated an alternate reality to her children. She did not want to be remembered as the mother who neglected her children, was a crystal meth amphetamine addict, engated in prostitution to support that habit, exposed her youngest daughter to a sexual perpetrator, and abandoned her visitation and joint custody in favor of a life with the man who had abused her daughter.
Julie presented an alternate reality where she was the victim, the father had fabricated a sexual abuse claim in order to get custody, that she was not am eth addict and would never abandon her children, and that she was not a neglectful and emotionally absent parent. This brainwashing, mental manipulation, and form of mind control, is discussed on this page:
https://juliebacolas.com/menticide
Peg Streep (2019) explains this type of narcissist mental manipulation:
“My mother stopped at nothing when I went no contact. She spread rumors about me to family members, my neighbors, and even got in touch with my boss. My boss had no idea who she was, by the way, but that didn’t matter to Mom. Lies, and more lies. She told people I’d stolen from her, that she’d stopped speaking to me because I was violent, that I abused my kids. She actually wanted to call social services on me but, thankfully, someone talked her out of it. Or so I heard. It was all unreal and over the top.”
Shari Stines (2017) explains that this type of mental manipulation is common to sociopathic narcissistic manipulators:
"It took FOREVER to finally leave the person in your life with narcissism, only to realize that once you made that fateful decision, your name became mud.
"Your ex is not going to let you go without a fight. You’re going to be villainized like you never experienced before the breakup."
"All your friends and family will hear how crazy, unbalanced, manipulative, and narcissistic you are. Your ex will be sure to strike first; you may not want to strike at all, but your hand may seem forced."
"The smear campaign of a person with narcissism can be so convincing. Since, throughout the relationship, you mainly kept your mouth shut about the problems you were having, no one really saw this coming. When your ex starts to talk negatively about you, with feelings of hurt and strong conviction, others may be inclined to believe what they hear. They had no idea how “crazy” you were, but now, if they think about it, they do remember the time you did x, y, or z."
Like many people with narcissistic qualities, your ex can be a master manipulator. They can turn on the sad eyes and tears, convincing everyone how dearly you are loved by them and how clueless they are about why it ended so abruptly. Maybe it’s menopause or a midlife crisis on your part. Obviously, something is wrong with you."
"The smear campaign may even work with your children. The children have become so accustomed to an abusive relationship that the concept of scapegoating seems normal. Blaming and villainizing others has been modeled as acceptable. They may see nothing abnormal about making you a target of wrath. And since they love the parent with narcissism, they likely want to win their favor, which makes it all the more easy for them to join in the campaign."

I approached the children about the family meeting Julie had with them. I contacted my daughter's counselor at the time of the abuse in 1998, Rochelle Silverman, who lived and had a practice in Miami, Florida, in 2009. My oldest son and youngest daughter (repressed childhood abuse) believed their mother over me and I tried to get these children on the phone with Ms. Silverman, but both children refused. My youngest daughter refused to speak with her former counselor due to her mother's extreme menticide. Rochelle offered to come to Phoenix for family counseling to heal the family, but my oldest son and my daughter refused to participate. Julie Bacolas did not exercise her right, under joint custody in 1998, to request a second counselor treat and interview her youngest daughter . In 2009, Julie bacolas did not have a psychologist present for her "intervention", nor at any follow up family meetings where the alternate reality was panned to her severely mentally ill children, as such a menticide and the mother's agenda is in gross violation of the ACA Code of Ethics and no professional would participate or sign off on memory replacement therapy by a sociopath..
Narcwise.com explains this disparagement in these terms:
What is the ‘smear campaign’?
It is the intentional and systematic dissemination of deceptive information designed to undermine, discredit, and further isolate you.
The narcissist paints you in a misleading and toxic light using strategies including but not limited to exaggeration, instigation of rumors, slander, and lies.
The spreading of misinformation is not necessarily restricted to verbal communication. Some may go so far as to falsify documentation to substantiate their wild claims.
To get you where it really hurts, they target any person available to them who matters to you. No one and nothing is off limits to the narcissist.
This encompasses your family members, all friends both mutual and non-mutual, employer and/or co-workers, and members of communities to which you belong (e.g.: church, volunteering organizations, sporting teams etc.).
Anyone accessible to the narcissist in your professional and personal networks is fair game.
This will be mind blowing to you – how could they possibly go there? Your family? Your friends? How could they?
The answer is simple: because of their complete lack of boundaries and respect for yours or anyone else’s.
Why do narcissists and smear campaigns go hand-in-hand?
There will never be an adequate explanation for the horrendous act of being smeared with such vindictiveness. Particularly from one who either has, or still does, profess to care for you.
No reasoning will ever excuse the narcissist, nor account for the betrayal and broken trust you feel towards those in your previously solid support network who have lapped up the narcissists lies.
Having said this, understanding the motivations of the narcissist may help you acknowledge what kind of person they really are.
What makes them tic
Those who have Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) ‘discarded’ early on in life their true selves, replacing this with a false self as a protective mechanism.
This invented self is one built on beliefs of superiority, omnipotence, and entitlement.
Maintaining their delusion and the validity of their false self is a matter of survival (for their ego of course…). Because without this, there is no ‘self’ to the narcissist.
To sustain the beliefs attached to the false self, the narcissist constantly hunts for external reinforcement that they are correct. This is what fuels the narcissist, a.k.a. supply.
Asserting power over others through manipulation is how the narcissist proves to themselves that they are in control, and that they are indeed superior, omnipotent, and entitled to all they desire.
These mechanics are at the core of all the things the narcissist does. Including the smear campaign.
Let’s have a look at how it plays out.
Smear campaign triggers for narcissists
Scenario 1: Paving the way for discard
When the narcissist has sufficiently groomed their next target, and made the decision to move on to them, the inevitability of your discard looms.
This triggers their ‘go to’ set of well-used steps to make this happen.
As an abusive narcissist, they know that they have an established pattern of devaluation and discard in relationships.
They also know that to succeed in getting away with this repetitive cycle takes active management on their behalf.
In other words, to be able to keep doing it, they need people on side who won’t blow the whistle when they target and replace victims, one by one.
For the narcissist, the smear campaign is a handy strategy to mitigate the possibility of anyone asking questions, including the new target.
Specifically, questions around what kind of person would ditch their current partner (that they have been actively abusing and hence is suffering a bunch of psychological, mental, and physical symptoms which may be apparent to others), for someone they have been wooing as a replacement for quite some time?
And not just once, but over and over again.
Too many questions of this sort could place their choice of lifestyle, and any given primed & current source of supply, in jeopardy.
In addition to preventing this, and of equal importance to the narcissist is avoiding having their integrity questioned. The effect of this for them is tantamount to denying their superiority, omnipotence, and entitlement….a narcissistic injury in the making, and one to be avoided at all costs.
Clearly, protecting their abuse and discard lifestyle is paramount.
Being completely aware of all of this, the narc begins the smear campaign.
In this scenario, once the replacement is identified, and before discard takes place, the narcissist begins sowing insidious seeds of doubt in people’s minds.
Initially, subtle hints are suggested casually, and intricate tales involving some element of truth for inevitability are dropped here and there. For example, these could be weaving together evident facts to fit a fictitious tale, or exploiting your vulnerabilities.
As the need to discard becomes imminent, momentum gathers.
Having pinpointed receptive audiences in those who have not established a boundary with the narcissist, gears shift, and overt statements are made.
The narcissist at this point openly makes claims that are completely fabricated, as well as frequent projections detailing events that have actually taken place…except that upon their retelling suddenly you’ve both swapped roles. A reality switcheroo: you are the abuser, and they are the victim.
This is the aim of the game. To portray the narcissist as long-suffering at the hands of your crazed and abusive mind.
This way, the risk of being held accountable for their behaviors and actions is minimized. And, the likelihood of understanding from others of their need to break free from you, and receptivity to their new target, is increased.
The only children who initiially bouth winto the goals of this menticide was the oldest son, who came down with pedophilia disorder upon the mother's reentry into his life, and the youngest daughter who was the victim of sexual abuse by the mother's boyfriend in 1998, who became symptomatic of bipolar disorder with psychotic features upon reestablishing contact with Julie Bacolas.
III. HEIGHTENING OF SMEAR CAMPAIGN IN 2010
Julie Bacolas had told my oldest son atrocious and false statements about me and why we divorced. Bizarre things that I cannot and will not repeat here. Disgusting and grotesque. None of what Julie told my oldest son was true. I tried to rationalize with my oldest son, that Julie did not bring such foul accusations against me during our divorce proceedings in 1998, during our highly contentous divorce and custody matters. I tried rationalizing with my son that if her allegations were not contrived and true, she surely would have asserted these things before the judge. None of the perverse and defamatory remarks about me made to my older son was alleged in my 1998 divorce and custody, because they were false and made up by Julie after the fact, to divert blame for her conduct as a mother and her resulting abandonment of our common children. I could not rationalize this with a severely mentally ill young man.
Colter Tanner (2019) examines this form of narcissistic abuse:
"Toxic people will gossip behind your back (and in front of your face), slander you to your loved ones or their loved ones, create stories that depict you as the aggressor while they play the victim, and claim that you engaged in the same behaviors that they are afraid you will accuse them of engaging in. They will also methodically, covertly and deliberately abuse you so they can use your reactions as a way to prove that they are the so-called “victims” of your abuse."
"Smear campaigns are a method of damage control that narcissists implement when they know they have been found out. A common smear campaign might involve portraying the former victim as some sort of crazy, bipolar, addict, alcoholic, unstable, good digger, thief, cheater, or bad parent. By creating a series of lies, exaggerations, half-truths, suspicions and false allegations about the victim’s behavior these serve to undermine the victim’s credibility and sanity. Reasons, why a smear campaign works so well to harm the victim, is: The victim loses trust in all friends and loses their support system, they become isolated, fearful and don’t know where to turn. Think of this as a ‘sorting hat’, from Harry Potter, this will be the weeding out of true friends and people you didn’t need in your life anymore."

The initial menticide only garnered the brainwashing by Julie Bacolas with her oldest son and the victim who had repressed her sexual abuse. As a result, pedophilia disoder developed in the male and bipolar disorder with psychotic features with the adolescent survivor of abuse. In hiindsight, the children may have inherited the same sociopathy as their mother and the same arrcissistic personality disorder, as described by the DSM 5, there may be genetic factors in play. Specifically, the older and youngest daughter suffered from severe developmental disabilities during early childhood, which may have effected the chemistry of their brains.

Christina Gregory, PhD (2020) identifies these genetic and psychological factors contributing to this sociopathy in the nuclear family:
"Researchers agree that both genetic and environmental causes are at play. Individuals with narcissistic personality disorder have been found to have less volume of gray matter in the left anterior insula, the part of the brain related to empathy, emotional regulation, compassion, and cognitive functioning."
https://www.psycom.net/personality-disorders/narcissistic/
The two children who fell victim of Julie's menticide, due to their own mental conditions and the non stop barage of false information by Julie Bacolas, the personality traits of narcissm, sociopathy, and absence of empathy were seen with these individuals. Furthermore, the smear campaign orchestrated by Julie Bacolas was gaslighted with these adult children,
Julie manipulated the minds of severely mentally ill adolescents by conducting menticide, then used these people as executioners of her bizarre smear campaign against Michael Robertson, which has lasted 12 years.
Dr. Emily Mayfield (2020) discusses the use of third parties in carrying out a narcissistic smear campaign, calling them "Flying Monkeys". She describes them:
"The narcissist will choose a flying monkey whom they believe validates them and will pass on messages in a way that supports the narcissist while belittles their partner. The flying monkey is rarely an impartial third party because that would not serve the narcissist in their intended goal of control and manipulation. The flying monkey cannot have their own opinion, especially when it is counter to the narcissist and their intended goal."
"The flying monkey is doing the dirty work for the narcissist, but they are also responsible for the negative interactions created. The flying monkey will gossip, gaslight, and create chaos between the partner and the narcissist to create and maintain a smear campaign. The flying monkey works at the requests of the narcissist, but gets their own satisfaction from the chaos created, which results in them being enablers. However, the flying monkeys are also being played and manipulated by the narcissist and they have been drawn in through some of the same methods the narcissist has used on their partner such as love bombing and hoovering."
"Throughout all of this, the narcissist can sit back and play the uninvolved third party. The issues can be seen as being between the flying monkey and the narcissist’s partner. Narcissists create tangled webs of people that support their game of control and manipulation. Each person is a pawn used by the narcissist in their game of blame and playing the victim.."

IV. SEVERELY MENTALLY ILL ADULT CHILDREN EXECUTE SMEAR CAMPAIGN AS FLYING MONKEYS!
Only two of the four children fell immediate victim of the menticide Julie Bacolas had perpetrated, with the oldest daughter and second oldest son remembering their childhood and rejecting the maternal manipulation.
The youngest daughter, repressing the childhood abuse she so vividly recalled on documented audio tape counseling sessions with Rochelle Silverman as a child, became symptomatic of bipolar disorder with psychotic features from the menticide. The oldest son, the most vocal of the flying monkeys early on, became the official spokesperson for Julie's menticide and conducted a ruthless smear campaign against his father from 2009 until 2020. The oldest son became symptomatic of pedophilia disorder upon these early interactions with his mother., which ballooned into a full mental illness by 2009.
Michael Robertson entered into another marriage in 2008 and had two more children,. The four older Bacolas children were angry at their father's marriage, the did not like the "issues" related to the father's second wife (verbal and emotional abuse of the older children), and money. Their father embarked in a career field to make money to provide a middle class lifestyle for his adolescent children, and the marriage to the second wife took money and resources from the older children from the first marriage. Since it has been identified that these children are hereditary narsissists and lack empathy, for a want for a better word,
Gail Goss (2015) details the personality development and resulting use by Julie Bacolas of these children as her flying monkeys:
"At the core of narcissism is a form of sociopathy. So a narcissistic child may have heightened emotions, depression, criminal tendencies and an unrealistic sense of self. And because a narcissistic child overcompensates for feelings of inadequacy, he is profoundly invested in maintaining a persona of perfection and self-aggrandizement."
"The narcissistic child, therefore, develops a personality that must maintain his feeling of being special, having special talents and being entitled to special treatment. His need for attention and entitlement can lead to exaggerated emotional responses when those needs are not met. He is easily bruised emotionally and sensitive to any form of criticism, blame or shame. He is not empathetic and can become a bully, or act out in dangerous and aggressive ways."
The father admits to telling the older children his want for two more children while they were adolescents. Michael Robertson would repeat dreams he languished about as a single man and father, of two more children. After Michael met his second wife, those dreams became a reality with the birth of his two sons.
A flying monkey can be anyone who believes the narcissist's fake persona, including the narcissist's spouse, child, friend, sibling, neighbor or cousin.According to popular psychology author Angela Atkinson, flying monkeys are usually unwittingly manipulated people who believe the smears about the victim although they may be another narcissist working in tandem.
According to narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) author Sam Vaknin and other writers, proxy abusers can come from a number of sources:
- the abuser's associates
- the victim's associates – manipulated to side with the abuser
- authority and institutional figures – manipulated to side with the abuser
"The flying monkey does the narcissist's bidding to inflict additional torment on the target.[3][7][10] It may consist of spying, spreading gossip, threatening, painting the narcissist as the victim (victim playing) and the target as the perpetrator (victim blaming).[3][7] Despite this, the narcissist does not hesitate to make flying monkeys his or her scapegoats when and if needed."
"The flying monkeys may make it seem like the narcissist is not really involved, and they likely have no idea that they are being used.[3][7][11] Multiple flying monkeys act as a mobbing force against a victim."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_monkeys_(popular_psychology)
For whatever machiavellian narsisstic reasons, Julie Bacolas gaslighted the fractured relationship with his older children due to the marriage to his second wife, and the children's perceived hurt from what they erroneously believed was their father withheld their mother from their lives. Julie Bacolas gaslighted the children's retribution against the father with the false reality she imposed upon them through menticide,
According to John P. Cunha, Do, FACOEP (2020):
"In children, the core features of narcissistic personality disorder may manifest in the following ways:
- Believing they are better than other kids
- Difficulty making friends/maintaining friendships
- See getting attention as their right/need to be center of attention
- Withdrawal from others who do not give attention or admiration
- Not expressing gratitude to parents or others for being kind
- Excluding other children from their playgroup based on superficial characteristics such as the other child being poor, having a lower social status, or if other children are unable to perform the same tasks with what they feel is an appropriate skill level
- Not taking responsibility for their actions and the consequences
- Throwing temper tantrums when criticized
- Resentment at being told what to do
- Refusal to recognize the authority of others
- Gaze aversion (not looking into the eyes of someone speaking to them)
- Pathologic play
- Separation anxiety
- Having high and unreasonable expectations of others
- Magnified feelings of envy: The child is offended if others are seen as better than him in any way
- Often accompanies antisocial behavior: The child will get into fights or steal toys from other children."

According to Julie Sprankles (2020), parents gaslight their children in the ways these children were gaslighted by Julie Bacolas against their father:
“the use of deflection, distraction, and blame by one person to hide some truth, or to benefit in some way, at the cost of another.” It’s an especially insidious form of psychological torment and emotional abuse because sometimes the person doing the gaslighting doesn’t even realize they’re guilty of the behavior.
After weeks of arguing and conversations, Michael Robertson told his second wife in April, 2018, that he was intending on taking custody of their two minor children due to continued "issues" interfering with parenting, the family, etc. Michael was leaving with the children. His second wife, knowing he had raised four children as a single father and would be competent to do so with a second family, preempted his departure with their children by calling the children's school and asked them to make a DCS report against the father.
The DCS interview with the mother evaluated concerns with her parenting, so the children were taken out of her care and placed in a dependency.
The two minor children were eventually put in a family placement while the dependency was pending....so the children went with the oldest daughter, the bipolar with psychotic features, and the pedophile with full access. The father resisted the dependency, based on his credentials and past vettings. Ultimately, the goal of the Department of Child Safety changed from child welfare to protecting the department from another civil litigation for unwarranted and unsubstantiated loss of association with a man and his minor children.
V. ENTER THE FLYING MONKEYS
Between 2012 and 2017, the father's relationships with his children became estranged, due to his continued relationship with his second wife and the ongoing menticide by Julie Bacolas. Michael stopped having contact with his adult children in 2015.
After the dependency began as a temporary placement with DCS, the youngest daughter contacted the department with hghly inflammatory accusations about her father which were very bizarre. Upon a DCS investigation of the case files from the father's 1998 divorce and investigation of Ed Stoffers for child abuse, the department self impeached that statement. The youngest daughter made follow up statements in April, 2019, contradicting statements made a year prior to the department. On a default judgment entered against the father for a non calendared court date by his attorney, these inflammatory statements were never entered against the father, as the department knew they were false and impeachable in court.
Laura Williamss (2018) shared a similar experience with Flying Monkey family members, executing the smear campaign on behalf of the narcissist abuser:
"My narcissister smear campaigned me and our brothers in Feb 2018 but I didn’t know at the time what it was. I didn’t know about narcissism, flying monkeys, smear campaigning etc. I just knew this was really weird, mean, and these people, her friends, were falling for her spin. I call her Miss Spider she spins her web well.Anyway, it hurt like hell."
"I remember crying at work after reading what her friends (some also narcs) wrote. She had her flying monkey friends do the dirty work. One of them I am sure is a narc too so he was particularly vicious. She let that nasty post sit on FB for months. My first mistake, in ignorance, I responded."
"My response was not kamikaze or emotional. It was rather an essay-like response, but it was a response just the same which is always narci-fuel. After I learned not to respond I just unfriended her and blocked her ass."
"But before my enlightenment I just knew something was really off about her and blamed it on her drinking. But everything was always all about her so I googled something like: “Alcoholism vs narcissism” to see which is was. It was obvious narcissism. Then I went on a reading binge and learned everything I could about covert narcissists. She’s classic."
"I found this site only after she made contact with me the other day in an attempt to Hoover me back into her web. Oh, the crocodile tears. “I miss you, little sister.” “I love you.” “Do you still love ME?”
The father won the case on appeal, and the state withdrew the severance due to "errors", which the father claims were false pleadings. Michael Robertson was preparing for his children's return in February,, 2020, as the state had no case, and based on his reputation and previous vetting, he was scheduled and expected to receive his children for a unification.

Upon the reunification of the children with their father, the state filed a second severance (double jeopardy?), and this second time, attacked Mr. Robertson's character and reputation. The father had an impeccable reputation, was vetted by the department five times previously, and the state had no case to sever his parenting. However, the intent of the state was not child welfare, but protecting the department and the Sate of Arizona from another civil settlement by yet another maligned parent. Michael Robertson was very boisterous about his intent to file a civil action, to his detriment.
Tho only hoe the department had in severing my parental rights to my two minor children from my first marriage was to prejudice the court so badly with a vaudeville show by parading my severely mentally ill children before the judge, that the court would find "in the best interests of the children" and better to "error on the side of caution" and rule in favor of a severance for family placement.
Michael's attorney impeached the testimony of two of Julie Bacolas' flying monkeys, and were preparing to impeach the rest of the brood, but he was advised of the prejedice such bizare conduct of his older children did to the proceedings, which included accusations of killing children and dismembering their bodies, putting dogs in bags and slamming them against walls, and raping children. So, Michael self severed his parental rights.
The minor children from the second marriage is placed for adoption with the oldest daughter of Julia Bacolas, mental status unknown, but obviously a victim of the menticide after 12 years of psychological manipulation by Julie Bacolas (and the fact that she is 29 years old, childless, and assumed she cannot have children). These children have unfettered access to the bipolar with psychotic features, the schitzoaffective, and the pedophile. Behold, the sociopath narcissist created narcissist offspring and used them as flying monkeys. The father's repressed suspicions came to fruit....a family of sociopaths!
VI. MICHAEL ROBERTSON STRIKES BACK!
Michael firmly believes the intent behind the sociopathic menticide against his older children by Julia Bacolas, turning the severely mentally ill and suspected narcissists into her own personal flying monkeys, and the resulting severance from his tow minor children from a malicious smear campaign, was tad amount to trying to kill him and make him commit suicide.
Michael has dealt with an ongoing train wreck of tragedies, but to hurt this man, to injure him, requires a "hit job" against his children.
Michael's relationship with his children has been, and will continue to be, the life force that directs him.
So, they attacked this man through his children.
Did Julie Bacolas' scheme worked? Absolutely not!
Michael Robertson has come out swinging...
To restore his destroyed reputation by these people, he has published this website, with no intent to harm or damage anyone, but rather to attempt to restore his reputation, which he has been a victim of malicious defamation of character by these people and their schemes:
https://juliebacolas.com/disclaimer
As for his minor children? There is a mountain of evidence proving these flying monkeys and Julie Bacolas has spread knowingly false in formation in the community, with the intent of destroying this man. He is in the process of filing multiple defamation of character claims in civil court to make these people account for their narcissistic behavior.
https://juliebacolas.com/michael-robertson
Further, separate civil actions are under way for tortious interference with parental rights, tortious interference with parental visitation, alienation of affections, and adoption fraud. He is attempting negotiations with the older children to mitigate his damages and have access to his minor boys, the apple of his eye.
There will be no negotiated settlement with Julie Bacolas!
Julie is an unfit mental health counselor. She earned her degree requirements in 1998, but was not granted her Masters in Counseling until many years later, due to her character decencies.
A complaint is being drafted to the American Counseling Association for her menticide, sociopathy, and continued narcissistic abuse and use of her children as flying monkeys in her ex husband's dependency with his two minor children.
Although there is a licensing requirement with the State of Arizona for Counselors, no such licensing was found for this individual off the state website.
Evidence has been identified where Julie Bacolas took course work from Michael Robertson's university studies and submitted that work as her own, so charges of academic plagiarism will be filed forthcoming with Arizona State University and Chapman University.
This woman is practicing as a mental health counselor, but has no profiles on Healthgrades, Vitals, social media sites for professionals, practice information for her as a counselor, yellow page listings, etc. As a counselor, this woman is under the radar.
Furthermore, her husband or whatever he is, was arrested for "dangerous drugs" which is suspect, as Julie Bacolas is employed as a substance abuse counselor for Community Medical Services in Kingman, Arizona, and herself, has a history of untreated crystal meth amphetamine addiction:

Edward T. Stoffers, 54, of Kingman, was arrested April 17 in reference to a Kingman Justice Court felony warrant for alleged dangerous drugs...

As a behavioral health clinician, I have a "duty to report" where a mental health counselor poses a risk to the population they are serving.
There will never be a negotiated settlement between Michael Robertson and Julia Bacolas.. She could disclose to her children the menticide and manipulations she had done, to spare them of the pending legal consequences for their actions, but that would take empathy and caring for one's own children, and those attributes are void and not present with a sociopath machiavellian narcissist. No negotiations with a "non human."
