legal update 

This morning I attended a review hearing on the status of four of the children who formerly resided with Ms. von Munchausen at her So-Called Home for Children with Significant Medical Needs.

Things did not go her way.

The Boy is not in any way involved in this drama. I go just to stay informed and because it humors me to see Ms. von Munchausen scowl and squirm before the judge. And I made a promise to myself when this mess began that anytime that woman was going to be in court I would be there mostly just watching, hopefully someday as a witness for the prosecution.

The four children involved were kids that Ms. von Munchausen and her husband, the Physically Abusive Possibly Pedophilic Idiot, either had custody of, or shared custody with the State Child Protection Agency.

Three of the children they basically just abandoned.

These were children they raised from infancy. They are all between ten and twelve. Abuse and abandon, the bitch and the bastard. They need to be held accountable for their actions.

They are not even trying to regain custody. To some degree in all the cases Ms. von Munchausen and her husband appear to be simply going along with the State Child Protection Agency's plan to eventually terminate custodial rights. This prevents information from the case files being read in open court. If they contest it, it gets discussed in court. Not contesting allegations keeps the family secrets secret. They are not doing it because they believe it best for the children. They are doing it because it is best for their reputation.

Ms. von Munchausen is fighting for the fourth child, a girl who her therapist reported is much better off and behaved when Ms. von Munchausen is not around. It is as though Ms. von Munchausen's presence is a toxin in the air. She poisons the child whenever she comes near. The State Child Protection Agency is moving to stop her visits with the child. Ms. von Munchausen is contesting this. There will be a trial in a few weeks to resolve the issue. There will be another trial this coming spring which should end with the complete termination of Ms. von Munchausen's parental rights.

All four of their young lives are in terrible disarray. They have lost the only home and family, however disfunctional, they have ever known. They have been moved multiple times since March. Three of the four will most likely have lifelong psychiatric issues. Ms. von Munchausen and her husband have permanently damaged the mental health of those children.

The fourth has significant disabilities like The Boy. Since her liberation from the evil clutches of Ms. von Munchausen she, like The Boy, is doing better than anyone ever imagined possible. The child cried when she last saw Ms. von Munchausen and then smiled when her new foster mother appeared in response to her cries.

One interesting detail emerged from the hearing. Apparently, several thousand dollars of federal assistance that was paid to one of the children over the years is missing. The judge ordered an audit of Ms. von Munchausen's finances and demanded an accounting of the missing funds. The hearing to discuss that has been scheduled for February. It is already on my calendar. That should be very entertaining.

It was over in less than an hour. My eyes seldom left Ms. von Munchausen or her husband, the Physically Abusive Possibly Pedophilic Idiot. I know they saw me. The courtroom was not so big and crowded that my presence would go unnoticed. But they never looked my way once. Not once.

Perhaps that is because out of the corners of their eyes they could see me smiling.
