A Medical Examiner's Twenty Years As A Victim of Crime in Illinois


During the 25th Anniversary of the National Center for Victims of Crime in the U.S.A. with the upcoming events planned for the National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, April 10-16, 2011 and those to follow, I remember how I have become a Victim of Crime in Illinois at the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Workman's Compensation. My name is Gardenia C. Hung, Illinois Victim of Crimes for the last twenty (20) years after I worked as a federal employee full-time at the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Workman’s Compensation, Employment Standards Administration, General Services Administration, at the Klucynski Building, 230 North Dearborn Street, 8th Floor, in Chicago, Illinois. Since 1991-1992, I have been denied Crime Victims’ Rights in the State of Illinois for this 20-year-old case matter in Department of Labor court summons, court hearings, court appearances, arbitrations, meetings, panel discussions, U.S. Mail notifications, advisories, etc. In addition, the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Workers’ Compensation staff had me held by force to induce drug injection on the right thumb to paralyze my right hand and wrist during October 1991. I am writing to the National Center for Victims of Crime in 2011 for assistance, help, and compensation as an Illinois Victim of Crime in Lombard and Villa Park, County of Du Page, in the Land of Lincoln, U.S.A. I have been victimized and denied crime victims’ rights for the last twenty (20) years. In view of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, April 10-16, 2011, I am petitioning for justice, equity and fairness for compensation as an Illinois Victim of Crime under the Constitution of the United States of America as the theme for the year implies “Reshaping The Future, Honoring The Past”.

Twenty years ago, during 1991-1992, I was hired as a certified medical claims examiner, analyst, by the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Workman’s Compensation, on the 8th Floor of the Klucynski Building, across from the Dirksen Federal Building. While I worked full-time as a federal employee at the U.S. DOL, OWCP Office, the first week of October 1991, I was injured, harassed, and abused during the course of employment, after 5:00 PM; since then, I have become an Illinois Victim of Crime because I worked for Richard Kadus, Phyllis Crane, Shelene Turner, Joan Rosel, Thom M. Sheridan and other federal employees reviewing and adjudicating fellow federal employees claims for the Office of Workman’s Compensation in Chicago, Illinois. As an Illinois Victim of Crime, I have been denied Victims’ Rights granted to others in the State of Illinois.

During January 1991, when I was working full-time for the U.S. Department of Labor, OWCP Office, I was trained and hired to review federal employees’ medical claims for work injuries suffered during the course of federal employment for adjudication, medical treatment, rehabilitation, vocational training, and a recommended monetary award. The first week of October 1991, after the visit of the former U.S. DOL Secretary Lynn Martin to the DOL Chicago Office, the Supervisor for Unit 2, Shelene Turner had returned from a two-week vacation touring Rome, Italy. Then, other federal employees like Anita Freeney and Lois Ware in Unit 2, also wanted to go on vacation and take their leave of absence immediately; so they started transferring their assigned OWCP claim files to the desk of Gardenia C. Hung for additional review, adjudication, and awarding, leaving several tall, high stacking files from their end of the office to the other side by the window cubicles where I was sitting. At the end of the day, Anita Freeney started screaming at me, shouting that I had to take all her pending federal employees’ OWCP incomplete and unfinished, harassing me while I was at my office cubicle desk, after Shelene Turner, the Supervisor, had gone home for the day—since I was staying after 5 PM, working extra hours without any compensation, leave of absence or vacation time off.

Then, Anita Freeney ran to Richard Kadus’ office, when the latter came out and started verbally reprimanding Gardenia C. Hung because of the former’s federal OWCP case loads and stacks, incomplete and undone, files stacked high on the medical claims examiner’s desk because Anita Freeney wanted to go on vacation, instead of continuing to work on her OWCP case loads—when it was not Gardenia C. Hung’s fault. Suddenly, Richard Kadus started abusing Gardenia C. Hung to force her to take some white pills he had and afterwards, injecting her right thumb with a drug from a hypodermic needle to paralyze her right wrist and hand, and marking her white shirt with blue ink marking a cross. As a Victim of Crime, I was abused and drugged by Richard Kadus and Anita Freeney at the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Workman’s Compensation. Consequently, I had to be hospitalized for three (3) months at Rush St. Luke Presbyterian Hospital next to the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle Campus.

This federal incident also caused me a problem with my former employer, Jose Poquet, who was then the Executive Director of Premier GESA Assistance Groupe Européen, a travel emergency medical insurance network for North America, the Caribbean, Central and South America.

While I was hospitalized at Rush St. Luke Presbyterian Hospital because of the U.S. DOL OWCP Office abuse and induced drug injection on my right thumb, I was also injured and kicked by a security staff man at the hospital who abused me and caused an extended hospitalization which resulted in the loss of my job during January 1992. Richard Kadus would not let me return to work at the U.S. DOL OWCP Office when Illinois Senator Paul Simon was involved with the federal workman’s compensation office.

Even when I filed a Complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor, Annabelle T. Lockhart denied my claim for compensation and lied about the circumstances involving abuse of my person at the OWCP Office in Chicago, Illinois. U.S. DOL OWCP has not contacted or mailed any notifications to me as an Illinois Victim of Crime, thus denying me constitutional crime victims’ rights to date. I received a notice from the Social Security Administration that $20,000US dollars had been removed from my federal Social Security Pension for work performed during 1991.

One year afterwards, on September 2nd, 1993, my father, Mr. Roberto Hung, J.D. decided to purchase a Lombard Historic Brick Bungalow built in 1927 in the Village of Lombard, County of Du Page, Illinois. As a Lombard resident homeowner and U.S. citizen, the Village of Lombard Police had me kidnapped, tortured, sequestered, harassed, abused, and physically injured, so I would lose consciousness and forget who had kidnapped me. In Lombard I have become a Victim of Heinous Hate Crimes, Criminal Roofing Disaster, Persecution, Sedition, and Harassment.

After kidnapping me in Aurora, Illinois following a legal court interpreting assignment for Interlate Systems Inc. also known then as Pan Blanco in Elgin, a Lombard Policeman offered to drive me home my Lombard home and broke my right big toe, knocking me out, and injuring me at my Lombard home, which caused me to have a traumatic concussion, resulting in a mild stroke, and loss of consciousness so he could remove me from my home and sequestered me to an unknown DuPage Hospital where my family could not find me. Once again, I became a Victim of Crime by the Lombard Police Department. Afterwards, the Lombard Police continued to trespass and access my Lombard home without authorization by passing out the Hung Family’s household spare keys to intruders without the homeowners’ consent and approval.

During 2004 and 2005, the historic Lombard Bungalow suffered from a massive plumbing failure and criminal roofing disaster arranged by the Lombard Police Department and the Village of Lombard staffing employees, allowing weather elements like rain, snow, and wind to damage and deteriorate the roofing housing structure on the southwest side of the Lombard Historic Brick Bungalow built in 1927.

Then, on January 12, 2006, my Mother Mrs. G. Fong Ramos was set up for harassment by the Lombard Police Department, Scott Watkins, and other who failed to report her hospitalization by the Lombard Fire Department Paramedics and the Police who told me that she was removed to Wheaton, to be found at the Du Page Coroner’s Office. The Deputy Coroner and the secretary could not find my Mother’s body there. Since then, no one told me where my Mother was hospitalized or her location. Five (5) years have passed and my Mother is still alive in Illinois, even though I have not been contacted or notified of her whereabouts. My Mother, Mrs. G. Fong Ramos has an alias today and she is a Victim of Crime also.

Then on July 26, 2006, I was participating in a training seminar by Beth O’Neill at the Illinois Employment and Training Center for Listening until 4:30 PM, ready to go home in Lombard, when two women from Glen Ellyn reported that I had taken a mobile cellular telephone they has lost at home in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. So Lombard Police David Thiede and Pam Larsen falsely accused me of taking the mobile telephone in front of St. Pius X Catholic Church, two blocks from the Eastgate Shopping Center where I had been all day for employment training. This is another instance of serious and tragic Lombard Police errors and omissions which have added more Victims of Crimes by the Lombard Police in DuPage County, Illinois USA.

After November 5, 2008, when Keith Steiskal and George Seagraves from the Lombard Fire Department caused the criminal disaster demolition, looting, and stealing household and business assets from the Hung Family Estate at the Lombard Historic Brick Bungalow, I have been homeless and destitute in the County of Du Page, State of Illnois, U.S.A.

I moved to Villa Park on November 17, 2009 and during January 2010, I began to have problems of harassment , victim of screaming, pushing, and verbal abuse by Chuck Pickerill, Henry W. Hochstatter, Bobby Pickerill, and others from UHAUL of Villa Park, following a relocation to the King Construction Building owned by Alex King at 140 West St. Charles Road, Apartment 4B, in Villa Park, Illinois 60181. Chuck Pickerill is related to the Villa Park Fire Department as the son of Charles Pickerill, Jr. former Villa Park Fire Chief who had a heart attack while working at UHAUL in Addison on Sunday, during November 2009, the week before Thanksgiving.

Throughout these twenty (20) years, I have not received any compensation from the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Workman’s Compensation as an Illinois Victim of Crime whose constitutional rights have been abused, disregarded, and ignored.
