APS Foundation of America / APSFA tina m. pohlman is cyberbullying a 16 year old disabled girl named candy waters.

Ms. Tina Pohlman from La Crosse, WI who is the President, Executive Director, Co-Founder of the APS Foundation of America, Inc (a Nonprofit Health Agency). ~ Ms. Tina Pohlman and Ms. Alice Carey are Partners and Lead Organizers of the Well Documented HATE Campaign Against Candy Waters who has autism is nonverbal

Ms. Tina Pohlman and her Minions follow the Waters family around in facebook groups for two years now using fake identities and attacking them on the post of their daughter's paintings that they are proud to share. Also, Ms. Pohlman and her Troll Team have created many Fake Blogs, Videos. facebook Pages, Memes & etc filled with Lies & Hate about Candy Waters

Ms. Pohlman and her Accomplices always say to “Google” Candy's name and you will find their Fake Hate Blogs that they have created to belittle and discredit her because they are extremely jealous of Candy's popularity and talent. Sick Trolls!

Ms. Tina Pohlman and her Accomplices always call Candy's art a “SCAM” in order to discredit her because they are jealous of her talent & popularity.

Candy's Art is not a Scam! Candy has autism, nonverbal and she paints every painting on her facebook page with a little help from her friends (Just Like The Beatles Said). The Waters Family use many different painting techniques with Candy (original art, collaborative…etc) Candy's family are honored and proud to be her humble helpers.

“I Have Seen Elephants Paint Better And They Were Recorded. And jealous, not a chance”

-Ms. Tina M. Pohlman's thought about Candy Waters painting style ~ Very Sick Person!

Doxxing/slander/defamation/exploitation

Ms. Tina Pohlman who is the President, Executive Director, Co-Founder of the APS Foundation of America, Inc is Cyberbullying our 16 year old disabled girlnamed Candy Waters. Ms. Pohlman's behaviour is extremely unprofessional, immature & SICK!

Please tell Ms. Tina Pohlman to stop harassing a 16 y/o disabled girl named Candy Waters and take down her Hate Sites that she and her friends have created to belittle and discredit Candy Waters. This will never end until she does this.

Who are Sam and Cindy, Sandy and Robert Waters? No need to tell, they are more fake screen names to stalk people on Facebook.

So you claim you have been bullied and harassed for 1-2 years now, "Cynthia 10/Sandy Waters". If that is true, WHY HAVEN'T YOU EVER GONE TO THE POLICE, like any decent parent would, to protect their children? That is how it's obvious to the world that you are making this all up. If you were truly fearful for your family's safety, GET OFF THE INTERNET 24/7 with all your scam marketing and whining and pretending to be cyberbullied - take care of your babies, for Pete's sake! There is nothing on earth more important than the welfare and safety of one's children. Have you forgotten that?! YES. You are too busy feeding and stroking your ego all day long with your marketing and your celebrity worship.

Why haven't you notified law enforcement and produced some actual evidence of any of this, if you feel so harassed? I know why. Because you are making it all up to distract people from your fraudulent art business. No one is calling you, contracting you, or harassing you.
YOU ARE A SINNER AND A LIAR.

Because they would find their scam in the process and their stalking, cyberbullying, libel, harassment, etc behavior in the process. Of course the big one, NO ONE is harassing their daughter.

The Waters are the Martin Shkrelis of the fake rainbow art circuit. :D They smugly think they have outsmarted "the system" and continue to take advantage of strangers and the government by cheating, distortion and lies about what they are really doing. Fraudulent trademarks won't save you! Time to pay the piper. You are cheating your government and cheating innocent people around the globe.

The auditors will have a field day unraveling your ten-year-old ball of yarn.

Where are any recent photos of Candy? She is 17 now. Is she ok? The Waters keep regurgitating old photos from several years ago, pretending they are current. Many people are worried about that sweet, innocent young lady and her welfare.

Come on Sandy aka Cynthia 10, we can tell that Candy, your SEVERELY AUTISTIC DAUGHTER, don't necessarily enjoy painting sitting there and putting blotches on paper in your very heavily edited and deceptive videos. You use clickers, loud music, stupid noises and other tactics to get Candy to move when she stops painting, seen in your very heavily edited and deceptive videos. More coaching to get her to laugh and smile too.

In the very first video she actually did do the painting using her left hand. But then Robert was talking to Candy as if she was a dog trying to get it to do tricks. When there is that much coaching as seen and heard in these videos, than the question needs to be ask, "Does Candy really love painting?"

Many are coming forward? Nope. It was just your false report, Sandy and Robert Waters. Most people are smart enough not to file false reports to state agencies and sign their name to it.

Nobody is " coming forward". Unless you count all the Waters' own fake profiles and myriad of aliases they've invented.

Grasping at straws again? If you put as much energy in your kids, as you do trying to deflect from the truth of the matter, they would be a whole lot better off.. your lies and deflection are meaningless. Your manic rants and psyco behavior is really showing . I suggest you get some help and take a walk. Looks like you all could do with a good bit of exercise instead of parking your butt on the computer seat and munching a big mac..

Robert and Sandy Waters are pathetic. They posted a painting on their CWAA Facebook page with "Praying for all those in the path of Hurricane Irma ~ Please Share." Then proceeded to promote said painting trying to get sales. Of course they didn't bother to offer to donate any proceeds to an organization. No, they are greedy [censored] people. Keep posting your BS on your cyber-bullying page on Facebook~KARMA!

They love to try to profit off of tragedy. That is their specialty. They did it with the deaths of David Bowie, Prince, the Pulse massacre...among many others. They recycle old pictures of fake art and then act like they "just painted it" in honor of ___.

They aren't donating to charities or raising awareness. They are pocketing all of the profits.

Same with military holidays too. Don't forget Hurricane Harvey. I have seen it posted on blogs with screenshots.

Long pattern of using tragedy for their gain via sales. Vultures.

The ironic thing is the larger she (Sandy Waters) continues to stretch out the fake harassment story the more she makes her own harassment story and scam come to light. The more people she reaches to the more that become aware of her and the schemes... I'd say keep going Sandy, you're helping the cause! Peace ✌🏽

Oh man, someone needs to get a real job. How about a recent photo of the child? Where is she? Sandy and Robert Waters should be ashamed and legally charged. Keep digging your hole as it's getting quite large. I wonder what everyone will do once they pull you IP address and unplug your computers. I'll need another hobby. Have you not learned anything? I think God will be teaching you some valuable lessons soon.

Funny, this similar note just got deleted by Facebook for HATE SPEECH on the "Candy Waters Autism Artist" page. There is a pattern forming here Sandy and Robert Waters. Add in the posts you lost today for HATE SPEECH on your bully page, it shows that you are the bullies.

Peace!

APS Foundation of America / APSFA scam

I have had the worst experience with tuna pohlman. A friend of mine had a birthday party and lots of money was donated but tuna would not give us a tax receipt or even admit she got the money. Look up apsfa on the. Bbb it is true. She is a bully and a fake doctor who probably don't have aps. She hates all other groups for aps and lupus and even als. She is such a hater and a liar and a thief. What a disgusting excuse for a human being to steal from sick people. She wanted $20, 000 in donations to take her friends to the biggest aps conference in the world to pass out info flyers to a bunch of aps experts. Just so happens it was in beautiful brazil. Tuna pohlman is a disgrace

Stop harassing Tina. You have tried multiple times on facebook and keep getting shut down due to TOS violations. You need to grow up and move on. Even promoting this on your harassment page where nobody looks isn't helping your case. Grow up woman.

APS Foundation of America / APSFA - not support at all

Their support forum is nothing close to support. Alternative treatment options are put down by the administrators and those who inquire about it are told that they are stupid for considering it and would be stupid to try it. Other times many have offered up opinions on issues and were put down by the administrators. The administrators are also friends who...
