J,
I
~
5. Since the entry of Your Honorable Court's Order, Respondent relocated
for the third time to his current addrestlln Dauphin County on or about March 1,1999,
Respondent and the minor child currently reside with Respondent's girlfriend Karen Poe,
and her children.
6. Your Honorable Court retains Jurisdiction over this custody matter
Inasmuch as Petitioner continues to reside In Cumberland County and Cumberland
County was the domicile of the minor child In question within six (6) months prior to
commencement of this proceeding.'
7, The best Interests and permanent welfare of the minor child will be served
by a modification of the Court's Order by the emergency granting to mother of primary
physical custody of the child on an Interim basis pending full adjudication of the case for
the following reasons:
a, On Thursday, April 22, 1999, the minor child contacted mother by
telephone and stated that he could not go to school because he was sick.
During the conversation the child broke down and cried complaining that
he could not reach his father at work and that Karen Poe, his fathel"s
girlfriend, after being contacted, Insisted that he go to school anyway.
b. The minor child further told mother that he has been beaten on multiple
occasions by Karen Poe with a beaded belt and he expressed great
concern that a fl,lrther beating would occur If Respondent or his girlfriend
learned that he. although sick, did not attend school on that day. During
this telephone conversation, an Individual believed to be the child of
Karen Poe confirmed these beatings to mother,
c. Petitioner thereafter Immediately arrived at the child's home 10 determine
his condition and upon entering the property observed filthy conditions
Including, but not limited to, fourteen (14) empty 16 oz, Beer cans In the
kitchen, three to four days of dirty dishes and a foul odor In the home,
Further, the child's room appeared to be filthy with soiled clothing strewn
throughout.
1 Pa.R.C.P, 1915,2 (a)(1)(1I)
d. Upon arrival at the Lyall J. Fink Elementary School In Middletown,
Pennsylvania, the child experienced a complete emotional breakdown at
which time the school nurse and school counselor, Mrs. Crangnole were
Immedletely summoned, At this time, the minor child complelned of the
abusive treatment at Respondent's home at the hands of Karen Poe, and
his complete frustration about that situation and his desire to reside
permanently with his mother. The child further stated that hili father was
never at home and that he was constantly being berated by Karen Poe
and beaten with a beaded belt and threatened with beatings with a horse
whip. He stated that his father and Karen Poe leave for work at
approximately 5:30 a,m. to 6:00 a.m, and do not return home until late In
the evening.
e. While describing this Incident, the child continued to cry uncontrollably
and, until restrained, allempted to pound his head onto the school table.
f. At this time, Petitioner and school officials both learned that although the
minor child had been pre'/Iously diagnosed with Attention Deficient
Disorder, had previously received prescription medication and counseling
for said disorder while In the care of mother, that all medication and
counseling had been terminated. School officials advised mother that
they were completely unaware of the child's medical history and had
received no such Information from Respondent. They further advised
rnother that they were unaware of the fact that the child had been enrolled
In three different School Districts during the school year.
g. On April 27, 1999, the child again experienced an emotional breakdown
while at school, at which tlmB the school principle, Mr. Raslmas, became
Involved. The child again complained of the mistreatment and beatings
he was receiving at home.
h, Mr. Raslmas confirmed that the minor child was performing no work while
at school or at home and that his academic standing remains In serious
question,
I. The school principle then advised mother of his legal obligation to report
these mailers to Children & Youth Services which report was dually filed
byhlm.2
iI
2 Mother believes, and therefore avers, based upon Information received, that Karen Poe
has been the subject of at least one unrelated Children & Youth Services Investigation.
