PENNSYL VANIA
DARVIN E. BENNER,
Defendant
No. 00-6457
CIVIL ACTION-CUSTODY
PETmON FOR EMERGENCY SPECIAL HELEIF
NOW COMES, the Defendant, DARVIN E. BENNER, pursuant to Rule 1915.13
of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure to petition this Honorable Court for special
relief in the form of an emergency order vesting Defendant with primary physical
custody of the Parties' Minor Child, Darvin E. Benner, Jr. In support of this petition,
Defendant asserts as follows:
I. PlaintiffIMother, KIMBERLY JO BENNER, is an adult individual residing at
124 Northeast Street, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
2. DefendantlFather, DARVIN E. BENNER, is an adult individual residing at 32
Box 216A, Newport, Perry County, Pennsylvania.
3. The Parties have two minor children, Darvin E. Benner, Jr., born October 6,
1985, and Jesse L. Benner, Born August 19, 1990 (hereinafter the minor
children and/or Darvin and Jesse.)
4. Plaintiff/Mother has been vested with primary physical custody of the minor
children since the Parties separated in March of 1992.
5. Over the past several months, DefendantlFather has been seeking primary
physical custody ofthe minor children and in so doing, the Parties have
participated in two (2) custody conciliation conferences before Attorney
Dawn Sunday in Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
Furthermore, the Parties are presently scheduled to appear before Attorney
Sunday for a third conciliation conference on Tuesday May 8, 2001.
6. At the within-mentioned conferences, DefendantlFather voiced concerns
regarding Darvin's mental and emotional state. To support the legitimacy of
-m
-
~~
his concerns, DefendantlFather produced song lyrics drafted by Darvin that
contained disturbing language with suicidal and violent overtones.
7. On two separate occasions fifteen-year-old (15) Darvin attempted suicide.
The most recent attempt was made in August of2000.
8. At the within-mentioned Custody Conference the Parties to this action agreed
that Darvin has experimented with and might have inclinations toward the use
of narcotics. Based on this concern, Attorney Sunday issued an order
directing the Parties to provide drug and alcohol counseling for Darvin.
9. DefendantlFather has complied with the order referenced in Paragraph 8 of
this petition by providing Darvin with counseling but DefendantlFather does
not believe that this counseling has been effective.
10. On April 18, 2001, the anniversary of the Columbine tragedy and Adolf
Hittler's Birthday, Darven allegedly threatened to bring a firearm to Carlisle
High School and target the Afro-American members of the student body in a
shooting spree. Darvin was subsequently suspended from school, taken into
custody and charged with Terristic Threats and Ethnic Intimidation.
11. Prior to April 18, 2001, DefendantlFather believed that Plaintiff/Mother had
complied with this Court's order directing that the Parties exercise shared
legal custody by providing important information regarding events in the
children's lives to one another. However, subsequent to the April 18, 2001
incident, DefendantlFather learned that Plaintiff/Mother had failed to disclose
that Darvin had been suspended from school on three (3) previous occasions
in the calendar year 2001.
12. In February of2001, Darvin was suspended for making racial slurs toward
another student in that he called said student a "nigger lover".
13. In March of2001, Darvin was suspended for drawing a clansman (member of
KKK) and burning cross on a school worksheet and then submitting said
worksheet together with the drawing to an Afro-American member of the
teaching staff.
14. In April of2001, Darvin was suspended for asserting to an Afro-American
cafeteria worker or custodian-staff member that he should not speak with
Darvin because Darvin considers himself to be a neo-nazi.
15. DefendantlFather believes and therefore asserts that Darvin will fail this
school year.
16. DefendantlFather believes and therefore asserts that Darvin is in serious
jeopardy off acing expulsion from Carlisle High.
j+..;,
-
,l_',
---"'~ -
'"'
17. Darvin was released from Abraxas Juvenile Facility on May 3, 2001 and was
placed on house arrest. Darvin is currently awaiting trial on the charges
stemming from the April 18, 2001 incident.
18. Darvin is currently on house arrest at PlaintiffIMother's residence.
DefendantlFather believes and therefore asserts that Darvin poses a threat to
himself and/or his life and physical safety could be in jeopardy by members of
PlaintiffIMother's community.
19. DefendantlFather is capable of providing supervision for Darvin twenty-four
(24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week. DefendantlFather believes that said
supervision is necessary to ensure that Darvin does not make any further
attempts to commit suicide and/or use narcotics.
20. DefendantlFather resides in a rural setting several miles away from the
Carlisle area. DefendantlFather believes that removal from the Carlisle area
to his residence would serve Darvin's best interest because it would reduce the
possible threat of retaliation by members ofDarvin's community.
WHEREFORE, DefendantlFather, DARVIN E. BENNER, respectfully requests
that this Honorable Court convey primary physical custody of the minor Darvin E.
Benner, Jr. to DefendantlFather on a temporary emergency basis pending further order of
this Court.
Respectfully submitted:
