Taryn's Parenting? In the Toilet!

Enclosed are materials in regard to Taryn Thoman, Dennis Wilcox, and the quality of parenting of their son, Aidan Thoman Wilcox. Taryn Thoman became involved with the recall effort of former Barnstable Town Council President Janet Swain Joakim. I was introduced to Taryn Thoman through Lou Gonzaga, a political activist and mutual acquaintance. Through Taryn Thoman, I was recruited by Citizens for Open Government for a number of initiatives including the well-publicized "Open Meeting of the Voters" and the Recall Effort of President Joakim.

There are a number of issues with the current sitting Barnstable Town Councilor of Precinct Six including the convolution of negligent human services provided by Housing Assistance Corporation, law enforcement and campaign contributions received by public officials. The organization houses a number of convicted felons and sex offenders in proximity to schools and daycare centers. Substandard services have compromised the health, welfare, and safety of vulnerable youth and innocent children. I was interested in resolving some of these problems and agreed to assist with the removal of President Janet Joakim.

Taryn Thoman initially presented herself as a concerned activist whose family was "destroyed" by the malicious and politically vindictive actions of President Janet Swain Joakim. Thoman had campaigned unsuccessfully for charter commission, finishing "just outside the winners circle" according The Barnstable Patriot. Thoman claimed she was professionally and politically ruined by both Janet Joakim and her neighbor, Christine Howell of Marstons Mills. Taryn Thoman's most pressing complaint was a reference to her child as a "kid of convenience" by adversaries posted on a political website published by President Janet Swain Joakim. Thoman suggested that she was emotionally and psychologically harmed such that she would never recover.

During my eight month effort to unseat President Janet Swain Joakim from office, Taryn Thoman confided a number of matters that I held in confidence. Thoman spoke openly about former narcotics use and participation in drug trafficking, driving while intoxicated, and problems with anger management and temper control. She stated both she and her husband had sought counseling to control their tempers. I held these confidences until it became apparent that both Aidan and neighborhood children may be in jeopardy because of her erratic behavior and bizarre antics.

During the course of the Recall Effort, Taryn Thoman claimed to have substantial footage of a neighborhood child molesting her son, evidence of neglect and abuse of neighborhood children by their parents, and stated she had to set up expensive video surveillance system on the perimeter of her home to collect such evidence and protect herself from allegations. Thoman had appeared several times in court to make criminal complaints against her neighbors and pursue litigation against them. The effort included suing for injunctive relief to force the neighbors to move from their home. Taryn Thoman and Dennis Wilcox made five unfounded complaints to the Department of Social Services about her neighbors, Ron and Christine Howell. The Howell family had to hire an attorney to keep their home.

I have enclosed all of the documents involved that led to the charge of criminal harassment against them and the charge of criminal harassment brought against Taryn Thoman by the District Attorney involving the Howell family in August of 2008. I have also included the charge of Assault and Battery brought against her husband in the Barnstable District Court in late August of 2008.

I withdrew all support for the recall effort and ceased all contact with Taryn Thoman when Thoman finally confided that her son was indeed, never molested by Tyler Varnum, her neighbor's child, nor did she have any footage of Ron Howell molesting or abusing his children nor evidence of his wife driving recklessly and driving to endanger. Thoman had also made a number of outrageous claims and accusations including an accusation that Christine Howell strew used needles and syringes in her yard in an effort to frame Thoman for erratic behavior. Thoman later admitted that she pilfered medical supplies from the supply closet at Ohio State University where her sister works. Terese Marinelli is a Research Coordinator and Administrative Assistant in the Endocrinology Research Laboratory and Clinic at Ohio State. Marinelli was instrumental in making specious allegations against Christine Howell and forwarded materials to formulate a complaint against the license of Christine Howell. The complaints and documents are enclosed.

Taryn Thoman did demonstrate active alcohol and narcotics abuse in the final phase of the recall effort. Thoman suggested that both she and her husband manufactured and used narcotics on the evening of Aug…after the submission of the initial affidavit. Subsequently, Thoman admitted that the allegations against the Howell and Varnum families were false. It was at that time that Thoman threatened me, my family and my employment on August 30, 2008. Thoman stated she would accuse me of heinous and atrocious acts for financial gain. I severed all ties with Thoman at that time. It has come to my attention that Taryn Thoman is escalating with cyber harassment, bullying, and formulating intimidating Internet communications, once again, causing concern.
