| Jan 21, 2001 - Garry’s attorney sends judge a curt letter asking for an immediate ruling and reminding judge Bonaventura that she has yet to rule on this case for which she held a 5-day trial that concluded in September, 1997, and that her handling of this case has been in contrast with the Rules of Procedure in the State of Indiana which call for child custody matters to be expedited. Jan 23, 2001 - Judge’s ruling, dated January 16, 2001, is faxed to the attorneys. If the judge ruled on the 16th, why did she withhold the ruling until today? Did she issue this ruling in retaliation to Garry's attorney's critical letter pretending to have written on the 16th, before receiving the letter? Bonaventura’s ruling: Kathy keeps custody of Teri Ann. Garry’s visitation was reduced to 3 hours per Saturday and the visitation is restricted to the maternal grandparents residence. Keep in mind, based on where Garry lives, this ruling requires him to drive approximately 5 to 6 hours to see his daughter for a mere 3 hours at the grandparents home who have previously testified in court that they believe all that their daughter Kathy says about the alleged sexual molestation. Furthermore, Judge Bonaventura ruled that Kathy and Garry and Teri Ann undergo MORE therapy with a NEW therapist. This would be the TENTH PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFESSIONAL/EVALUATOR ASSIGNED TO THIS CASE BY THE COURT!!! The judge claims she may eventually grant Garry overnight visitation with his own child when and if the new therapist grants it, despite the fact the Dr. Helding's current recommendation already states that Teri should be allow to "have visitaiton at a minimum of every other weekend from Friday after school til Sunday evening." And who is the new therapist to be? The judge says that Kathy should be allowed to pick the therapist along with Garry. [PEERgroup note: Looking away from the fact that Kathy has a documented five year history of sabotaging therapuetic reunification. Why should this time be any different?] The judge also ruled, once again, that the mother and father “are not to talk in a negative manner about one another in the presence of the minor child.” Of course, 5 1/2 years of false accusations and the brainwashing of Teri Ann is ignored and allowed to remain without redress. The destruction of a relationship between a father and a daughter is allowed to continue unabated. Kathy continues to be successful, with the protection of the court in alienating Teri Ann from her father with malicious false accusations and psychotic brainwashing that goes unpunished by the court. Christina Miller and Mary Beth Bonaventura have refused to act for 5 1/2 years on the facts of this case and have ignored the warnings and pleading of some of the most respected psychological professionals in Lake County. The hallmark of a judge is the ability to rule in accordance with the evidence even when these facts do not align themselves with their personal views. This case proves that Miller and Bonaventura lack this ability and regretably Teri Ann suffers the consequences. Read the actual Final Ruling. Then read the Appellate Court's Reversal of this ruling! Supreme Court grants Kathy's request to transfer the case to them. At least 3 of 5 justices vote to consider reversing Appellate Court. |
