- About Me:
- Born in Houston, Texas the first of identical twins, Michael Castillo, a multi-talented artist in media, performing and visual arts. He is also a Contract Processor, Skiptracer, and Child Advocate. Out of these diverse skills and talents. His true and natural talent is in visual art. Michael's artwork includes children's stories, paste-up, spirituality and political satire. His work has been featured nationally, via stage, television, film, radio and print. His knowledge and skills are both in the entertainment and business industries. He is accredited for his work by such organizations and contributions to others by the Texas Million Dads March Network (Houston Moderator), Association for Missing Children, Former Speaker of the House Tom Delay's office, and Depelchin Adoption Center for outstanding commitment and contribution in adoption. Michael's life was further blessed with the birth of his son in 1997.
On July 23, 2003, his 6 year old son was abducted from a reknown daycare facility in Houston Texas by his mother. His son was missing for over 6 months. January, 2004, Michael located his son over 120 miles west of Houston in Bastrop, Texas. Eventually, those months grew into years of legal battles, emotional and financial distress. Through it all, He found resolve by assisting others who were involved within the same circumstance. Making the legal act of parental child abduction illegal was to become his resolve.
From 2004 onward, Michael studied the Texas Family Code. He was successful in self representation (Pro Se') in the last hearings of his custodial suit and tort action. Michael credits God, friends, and the love of family for the drive which carried him through this trying time of his life. An' It was because of this experience that he joined various social groups such as the TFER, MDM, Polly Klause Foundation, and the Children's Advocacy Group. Michael donates his time and services to assist in locating missing children, contractual processing and credit assistance.
In 2005, a collaborative effort created www.Helpspan.org (HELP Stop Parental-Child Abduction Now). A website dedicated to bring forth awareness and gain legislative support and petitionary signatures to create a law to stop parental child abduction. This has been the personal fight of Michael's ventures ever since. Later that year, Michael created www.Pictusketch.com. The name, a collaborated wordplay, is based on the transition when a picture is drawn into a sketch. Michael's love for art returned but this time with more powerfully detailed and divinely driven attributes. "Making Memories Memorable", became his slogan.
In 2007, with the recent election changes, Michael lost his legislative support. A rewording of the original petition was also needed. Therefore, the original petition was deleted. A revised version was then placed and is seeking your support. If you would like to support this petition please visist www.helpspan.org. If you would like to request any of his services, please contact Michael at Contact, 281-989-1046
