Help -- Two Children Abducted

  • Thanks again everyone. I think our only option is to get a really good lawyer to get Skyler back. I don't know how to get Riley back since he's not ours and his parents are not as proactive as we are. They never bothered to file anything with the courts, etc. We always filed, and she always weasled out of it somehow, saying she never got served or whatever BS. So now time to just have a lawyer take care of this. We will get Sky back and she will never be allowed to see him again.

  • I just talked to the most awesome paralegal. She's the only one who's showed such concern. She said go to the media, go to CPS, get in front of a judge, man she was fired up! I had Tommy give her a call so maybe he can just hire this one and get this going! Pray that this works!

    It's not a waste of time. You never know where help will come from, and with all this stress, the moral support must be doing you at least some good :)

    I'm glad you finally found someone who is interested in helping. I'll be thinking of you over the weekend, I really hope you and the other family both get the boys back.

    Hoping both of those little guys get home soon! I've read your posts about her before and believe she should not have contact with those boys until she chooses to get healthy on more than one level and obviously -never unsupervised!

    Man, this is so fucked up. I can't believe the cops aren't doing anything. I hope the kids are safe. Did you talk to the other family?
    THANK YOU, LOSTDAWG!

    I'm in Mesa AZ. Do you know what kind of vehicle she's driving? Plate #? Can definitely keep an eye out for it when I'm on the road.

    There are other AZ jammers on the board that this could be shared with too.

    What happens if she is spotted here? Will the police do anything at that point once her location is known?

    Oh God, Rose,

    I just read this....I am so sorry this has happend. Unfortunately, you are right that you will probably need a lawyer to get her back. You will need to go before a judge and get an order of custody, and then get an order to deliver to the sheriff in the county this woman is in who will go out and actually take posession of Skylar.

    I am hoping and praying for you and that you will get him back soon.

    Thanks for your good thoughts and prayers.

    Well it's not looking good at all. We don't know where she is. We need an address to serve her and the court requires she is served in person. :(
    She told Tommy she is moving and won't say where.
    He spoke to an attorney this AM and they want $3500 to retain and the fees probably go on from there. We can't afford it.
    I so wish there was an attorney who would help us pro bono. I have looked and looked and I can't find one.
    Hoping for a miracle!

    I just need to know what address she is at so we can have her served with paperwork. The police won't do anything until that is done. Totally stupid system that is protecting the person who commited the crime right now.

    O yea the other family acted all concerned but then I saw them posting HAPPY EASTER on her myspace so I really don't believe them. AND apparentally they met up with her and gave her all Riley's belongings. WTF would they do that???? Great people we are dealing with here. The thing is that family is Anne's aunt. Her Aunt married the dad of Riley. Pretty twisted.

    She called your bf? Can the police trace the call? Did a # come up on caller ID that they can trace?
    How did she get a hold of these kids? Where was she calling from? Did she say anything about how the kids are doing?

    This seems like a bad movie, or a nightmare that you can't wake up from. I can't believe nothing can be done.
    Rose maybe you can post this on the Porch board too, there has to be a lawyer out there that can help you.

    Is there a Legal Aid lawyer/service by you? Maybe they can help at a reduced/sliding scale fee.

    Hang in there. Friendy <hug> Somehow it'll be ok

  • No he called her yesterday to try to get an address out of her but she refused and hung up on him. She has a cell phone. We don't know how the kids are. She's hiding from us.

    This whole thing is exhausting. I feel like we never get anywhere. :(

    Thanks for the hug. She took Skyler from the hospital last Monday and she took the other son from a park by his house, although I think the other family is in on it personally. since they are basically helping her and doing NOTHING.

    You're welcome.
    I CANNOT BELIEVE the police have a cell phone # for her and won't do anything.
    Wow.

    Skyler is your stepson right?
    She took him from A HOSPITAL!? OMG. And they couldn't say anything b/c she is his mother, right? I used to work in a hospital, I'm a social worker. I wonder if they knew anything about the situation. That is unbelieveable she would have the gall to do that.

    There has to be something that can be done, don't give up Rose. Maybe you can try looking up Legal Aid?

    What happened w/going to the media?

    Rose,

    Look at this website:

    http://www.wsba.org/lawyers/groups/probono/default.htm

    And for some more info:

    http://www.wsba.org/atj/contact/legasst.htm

    Ths is the pro bono committee for the Washington State Bar. I would try contacting one of the lawyers on the committee to see if they could put you in contact with someone who might take it pro bono if you are unable to afford to pay. It may be a long shot, but it cannot hurt anything.

    Thanks I'll check out the first one. The second one I contacted a while ago and they were of no help what so ever. They saw its for civil cases but its not really.

    That really sucks. Assuming your goal is to get the child back, it is a civil custody dispute. I know you cannot have her prosecuted through that organization, but you could use it to pursue the civil remedy of getting Skylar back.

    I am sorry you are having such a tough time. The system really is fucked up if you cannot find someone to help you out on a pro bono basis. :( I don't know what else to tell you.
