COMPLAINT IN CUSTODY=
TO THE HONORABLE, THE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:
_- rxi 4
' rna:
1. The Plaintiff is Shelley Marie Karichner residing 41'. "
West Keller Street, Caetanea, Clinton County, Pennsylvania.
2. The Defendant is Todd William Day residing at 381 Beech
Creek Avenue, Mill Hall, Clinton County, Pennsylvania.
3. The Plaintiff seeks custody of the following child, Katie
Marie Day, female, born April 20, 1994, and presently residing with
Plaintiff at 306 West Keller Street, Caetanea, Clinton County,
Pennsylvania.
The child was born out of wedlock.
The child is presently in the custody of Plaintiff.
During the past five years the child has resided with the
following persons and at the following addresses:
From April 1994 to August 1994 with Shelley Marie Karichner
and Todd William Day at Pine Street, Mill Hall, Pennsylvania.
From August 1994 to June 1996 with Shelley Marie Karichner and
Todd William Day at 39 Butler Street, Mt. Holly Springs,
Pennsylvania.
From June 1996 to December 1996 with Shelley Marie Karichner
and Todd William Day at 381 Beech Creek Avenue, Mill Hall,
Pennsylvania.
From December 1996 to February 1997 with Shelley Marie
Karichner and Ron and Beverly Karichner at 119 Greenhouse Road,
Dillsberg, Pennsylvania.
From February 1997 to May 1997 with Shelley Marie Karichner
and Charlie Cooper, Jr, at 36 Old Hall Road, Lock Haven,
Pennsylvania
From May 1997 to the present with Shelley Marie Karichner and
William Zerbe at 306 West Keller Street, Castanea, Pennsylvania.
The mother of the child is the Plaintiff, she is single.
The father of the child is the Defendant, he is single.
9. The relationship of the Plaintiff to the child is that
of mother. The Plaintiff currently resides with the following
persons:
William G. Zerbe her boyfriend and Carrie and Ryan Zerbe, his
children. Her boyfriend having primary custody of his children.
5. The relationship of Defendant to the child is that of
father. The Defendant currently resides with no other persons.
6. Plaintiff has not participated as a party or witness, or
in another capacity, in other litigation concerning the custody of
the child in this or another court. Except that a Protection from
Abuse Action to number 330-97 in Clinton County dealt with the issue
of Custody as a secondary issue.
Plaintiff has no information of a custody proceeding
concerning the child pending in a court of this Commonwealth.
Plaintiff does not know of a person not a party to the
proceeding who has physical custody of the child or claims to have
custody or visitation rights with respect to the child. Except that
the paternal grandparents of the child were given some partial
custody rights with the child when the parties were residing in
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
7. The best interest and permanent welfare of the child will
be served by granting the relief requested because:
A. Your Plaintiff has been the primary custodian of the
child and has provided the primary care of the child for her entire
life; and
B. Plaintiff is better able to care for the educational,
emotional and moral needs of the child.
a. Each parent whose parental rights to the child have not
been terminated and the person who has physical custody of the child
have been named as parties to this action. There are no other
persona who are known to have, or claim a right to custody or
visitation of the child except as stated above.
I verify that the statements made in this Petition are true and correct. I understand that false
statements herein are made subject to the penalties of 18 Pa. C.S. §4904 relating to unswom

PETITION FOR MODIFICATION OF PA RTIAL CUSTODYNISITATION ORDER
1. The Petition of Todd William Day, respectfully represents that although there was a
Custody Petition filed by the Plaintiff on July 7, 1997, at the scheduled hearing for July 29,
1997, no Custody Order was entered to the above court term and number as the court expected
the parties to work something out and submit it to the court.
2. The only Order that is in existence was a result of a PFA Petition filed by the
Plaintiff to Number 330-97 that resulted in an Order of April 3, 1997 that included provisions
regarding custody. A copy of that PFA Order is attached hereto and marked as Petitioner's
Exhibit No. 1.
3. Within one (1) week of the July 29, 1997 hearing, the mother, without notice, moved
to what we believe to be the Dillsburg area and took the child with her.
4. For a period of three (3) weeks following the July 29, 1997 hearing, mother would
not allow father to get the child.
5. Since late August of 1997 the parties had worked out a schedule where father, who
works the Coming swing shift, would have the child on his days off, picking up the child at
7:00 p.m. at the beginning of his days off and returning the child at 7:00 p.m. at the end of his
days off schedule, with the parties meeting in Selinsgrove to exchange the child.
G. Up until early in November of 1997, mother never supplied father with any phone
number other than her parents' phone number in which to contact her, and it was at that time
that mother supplied an address.
7. In early November, mother did supply father with an alleged work telephone
number, which turned out to be ineffective, as mother no longer worked there.
8. As of the date of the filing of this Petition, the only means of contacting mother is by
contacting her parents in Dillsburg.
9. The current Order should be modified because:
A. Since January of 1997, mother has lived at at least seven (7) different
residences;
B. Mother has lived with at least four (4) different men besides the father;
C. Mother is unable to maintain a steadyjob, having worked at least four (4)
different places, including driving vehicles that would require her to stay out of
town at least two (2) days a week; and
D. Father would be able to supply a stable environment for the child.
IVHEREFORE, Petitioner requests that the Court modify the existing Order and
grant him primary physical custody because it would be in the best interest of the child.

STANDARD CONDITIONS REGARDING
SHARED CUSTODY & PARTIAL
PHYSICAL CUSTODY ORDERS -- December 1, 1996
Access to Records: Both parents shall have full
access to medical, dental, psychological, educational, and
religious records. Each parent may obtain such records directly
from the provider without the other parent's consent. Parents
shall provide each other with any records not easily obtainable
by the other parent. Any school district which the Children
attend shall provide both parents identical information.
Decision-making: Both parents shall use their best
efforts to engage in joint decision-making with respect to the
Children. The parents shall consult with each other concerning
major health decisions, transfer of schools, changes in school
curriculum, participation in extracurricular school activities,
participation in non-school lessons or structured non-school
activities or organizations, participation in summer camps and
similar activities. If the parents are unable to reach an
agreement, they shall exchange written proposals, including their
explanations of their positions, after which they shall meet and
discuss their positions in person. If they still cannot resolve
their differences, the Court will, upon written request, schedule
a hearing.
Conflict in Partial Custody Provisions: In the
event certain provisions in a partial custody Order are
inconsistent, the provisions ordered by the Court concerning
specific holidays shall supersede provisions concerning
vacations, weekends, and midweek visits, and the provisions
concerning vacations shall supersede provisions concerning
weekends and midweek visits.
Implementation: In implementing the custody Order,
both parents shall be flexible and act in the Children's best
interest, shall consult with the Children where appropriate, and
shall give due regard to the Children's legitimate wishes and
needs. Both parents shall use their best efforts in presenting a
united front to Children and in shielding the Children from an
awareness of their parents' discussions and differences as to
decision-making. Both parents shall use their best efforts to
ensure that their spouses, extended families, and household
members cooperate in carrying out the intent and spirit of the
custody Order.
A parent shall encourage the children in the
exercise of the other parent's partial custody rights and shall
have the Children ready and properly clothed and fed at the
appropriate times. In the event a parent chooses not to exercise
partial custody rights on a given occasion, that parent shall
provide reasonable advance notice of the decision to reduce or
eliminate such a partial custody period.
The parents shall cooperate with each other to
permit each parent to take vacations with the Children and allow
each parent to expose the Children to interactions with their
extended families on both sides.
Major Events: Both parents shall be notified of
and invited to major events in the children's lives, including,
but not limited to, graduations, awards presentations,
performances by the Children, and similar extracurricular
activities.
Illness. Accidents, and other Emergencies: Each
parent shall promptly notify the other of any serious accident or
illness or any legal or educational emergency involving the
children while in that parent's custody. If a Child is
hospitalized, both parents and stepparents and/or any
grandparents may visit with the Child regardless of any custody
schedule. If a child is taking medication, that medication or a
prescription for the medication shall be made available to each
parent. The non-custodial parent shall be provided copies of
Medical Assistance and insurance documents.
other notice requirements: Each parent must notify
the other within twenty-four (24) hours of any change of
residential or work address or telephone number. During periods
when the children will be away from home for more than an
overnight period, the parent who has physical custody of the
Children during that period shall notify the other parent of the
travel and lodging plans, a method of contacting the Children
during the trip, and the identity of the persons with whom the
Children will be traveling or staying.
Behavior around Children: Neither parent shall
consume illegal drugs or excessive amounts of alcohol or be under
the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol or permit others to use
illegal drugs or abuse alcohol in the presence of the Children.
Neither parent shall operate a vehicle transporting the Children
while the parent is under the influence of illegal drugs or
alcohol. Both parents shall ensure that the Children are using
appropriate seat belts or child safety seats when being
transported in vehicles by that parent or by another person on
that parent's behalf.
Telephone Contact: The parent out of custody shall
be entitled to reasonable telephone contact with the Children.
Such contact shall not be monitored by or interrupted by the
custodial parent. In the event of long distance calls, the
parents shall agree on specific times when the Children will be
available to receive calls.
Moving Out of Clinton County: The custodial parent
shall not move his/her residence from Clinton County without
written permission from the Court.

As you know, by way of a Court Order dated December 23, 1997,
this Examiner was asked to perform psychological evaluations in this visitation/
custody situation. Toward that end, interviews were held on December 29, 1997,
and January 28, 1998. As a result of those interviews, the natural parents have
come to an agreement regarding visitation/custody of the minor child involved,
Katie.
Essentially, the parents have agreed to a shared legal custody situation
whereby the child spends time in the home of each parent on a seven-day rotating
basis. This "50/50" custody situation will change slightly every twenty-eight days
to accommodate Todd Day's swing shift work schedule. Changes will be made so
that the child is able to spend time with her father during the seven-day period each
month when he has four consecutive days off. The parents have agreed to notify
each other well in advance of a schedule change to negotiate subtle changes in
schedule.
During the seven-day period of custody, each parent is to make sure
that the child has two phone calls during that period with the other parent. The
reasons for making these calls were discussed in interview. Vacations or work
Memorandum
January 28, 1998
Page Two
shut-downs will be negotiated, with respect to visitation, by the parties involved.
Unless otherwise agreed upon, the child will spend half of each major holiday/
birthday with each parent.
Transportation arrangements for visitation are to continue as outlined
in Paragraph 6 of the Interim Order dated December 23, 1997.
Both parents agree that by the fall of 1999, when the child is
scheduled to enter kindergarten, they will make every effort to make a mutually
agreeable decision regarding custody. This Examiner has offered himself as a
mediator toward working toward that process in a way which is not conflict-ridden.
The parties have agreed that Todd will utilize his natural parents as the
primary babysitter for Katie when he works and she is in his custody. They have
also agreed that Betty Henry shall act as the primary babysitter for Katie when she
is in the natural mother's custody. Any change in these sitting arrangements will
be negotiated by agreement between the parents. Possible changes in babysitting
arrangements will include Day Care, Head Start, or other types of pre-school
service enrollment.
A copy of this Memorandum is being sent to the attorneys for review
with their clients, and it is suggested that the attorneys communicate with the
Court regarding the possibility of having this agreement worked into an Order.
would like to thank both of the individuals involved in this situation
for being willing to engage in communication and decision-making which is clearly
in the best interest of Katie.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Re: Karichner V. Day
Dear Mr. Brungard:
As I mentioned in our telephone conversation, Ms. Wchncr has obtained new
employment as she was unable to handle the heavy lifting required at her prior employment.
Previously, she ended work at 4;00 p.m. The hours at her current job require her to be at work
until 5:00 p.m. This means that she will be unable to meet Mr. Day on Wednesday evenings at
6:00 p.m. She has suggested 7:00 p.m. She will know for sure how long the trip will take her
once she tries it. She has already explained this to Mr. Day and he will not agree to a change in
the pick up and delivery time. This is to request that you speak to Mr. Day about changing the
time. If he does not agree, please let me know so that I may present the request to the Judge.
Ms. Karichner was also unable to speak to the child while she was in your client's custody
until the Monday before her return. If Mr. Day would return her call As soon as the child is
available, she would be happy to call back so that he would not have to pay for the call. She does
not understand why Mr. Day finds it necessary to hang up on her or fail to return her calls. She
understands that he wishes her to keep her calls to a minimum and to speak to the child fur a short
period of time. She has complied with his wishes.
When she was permitted to speak to her, Mr. Day and his girlfriend made Inappropriate
comments to the child which caused her to become very upset. I understand that Mr. Day is
unhappy about the possibility of ha%ing support reinstated, however, this Is something that Ms.
Wchner would like him to discuss with her in private instead of sending messages through their
daughter.
In closing, Ms. Karicher is trying to get along with Mr. Day and improve their
relationship. She has had very positive feelings about his current girlfriend and would like Crory
much to have a good relationship with her also. Anything that you could do to assist would he
greatly appreciated.

RE: Karichner v. Day
Dear Mr. Brungard:
Ms. Day was able to meet Mr. Day at 6:50 last Wednesday. She again explained her new
working schedule to him and his mother. They told her that they had contacted you that day and
you told them that you had not spoken to me regarding the meeting time. Mr. Day informed Ms.
Karichner that he would bring the child to the meeting place at 2:00 a.m. on Thursday this week
since he worked until midnight. His mother told her that she would arrive at 6:00 as stated in the
court order and would leave by 6:30. Ms. Karichner will do her best to arrive as early as possible
however, she does not believe she will make it by 6:30.
• I will be requesting a modification of the order and am hoping'that you will again speak to
you client so that the transfer will go smoother than last week.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

RE: Karichner v. Day
Dear Judge Williamson:
You asked that you be notified if Shelly Karichner wished to move and that you wanted to be
advised of anyone that might reside with her. Ms. Karichner has located a two bedroom house
approximately ten minutes from the apartment where she is currently residing. The house is
much larger than her current apartment and has a large yard for Katie to play in. The
neighborhood is much nicer and she believes that this will be an overall improvement for her
and Katie.
She is also engaged to be married to David Noreika. He has been employed for the last three
years at Fry Communications. They plan to be married this summer. She has known him since
October 1997 but waited to introduce him to Katie until February 1998. He currently resides
with his parents. Shelly would like him to move into the house that she has found as they plan
to live there once they are married.
She has asked Mr. Day if he has any concerns about her moving and he indicated that he did
not. This move should not add time to her commute to meet him.

1. Petitioner, Shelley Karichner, is an adult individual residing at 9 East Street,
Apartment 13, Mount Holly Springs, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
2. Respondent, Todd Day, is an adult individual residing at 381 Beech Creek
Avenue, Mill Hall, Clinton County, Pennsylvania.
3. The parties are the natural parents of Katie Day, bom April 20, 1994.
4. The parties have shared custody with the child alternating weeks between the

beginning Wednesday, April 29, 1998, at 6:15 p.m.
6. A hearing is scheduled before this Court on April 30, 1998, on this case.
7. Upon her return from her Father's custody on April 22, 1998, the minor child
complained to Petitioner about vaginal soreness.
8. The minor child had made these complaints in the past upon returning from visits
with the Father, but Petitioner had assumed it was due to a lack of proper hygiene and treated
the child with an antibiotic cream.
9. On April 22, 1998, the child exhibited redness of the vaginal area and informed
her mother that although it did not hurt when the Mother checked her, it hurt a lot when her
Father did.
10. Petitioner took the child to the Emergency Room at Carlisle Hospital. They
referred Petitioner to Hershey Medical Center.
11. The child was examined at Hershey on April 24, 1998, and Petitioner was advised
not to allow the child to return to the Father's custody due to the medical findings and statements
of the child. The child was scheduled for a more extensive internal exam on April 27, 1998,
with a Pediatric Gynecologist, Dr. Greenwald.
12. On April 27, 1998, the child was examined. The exam revealed physical evidence
of sexual abuse and the child again named the Father as the perpetrator. Dr. Greenwald
authorized a hotline abuse report.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests the Father's custody be suspended pending further
Order of Court.

12 THE COURT: This is the matter of Shelley Marie
13 Karichner versus Todd William Day.
14 MR. BRUNGARD: Your Honor, before we go forward in
15 open court, I would ask the Court for a motion for sequestration
16 of all non-party witnesses. I believe it's important in this
17 case.
18 THE COURT: All right. Everyone except the parties
19 and Counsel go out in the hall, please. Do you want to take them
20 out, Mr. Barner?
21 (Whereupon, the witnesses were sequestered

25 DENNIS WILSON, having been called as a witness,
4
1 was duly sworn and testified as follows:
2
3 THE COURT: State your name, please.
4 MR. WILSON: Dennis Wilson.
5 THE COURT: And your position, Mr. Wilson?
6 MR. WILSON: Caseworker with Clinton County
7 Children and Youth.
8 THE COURT: In that capacity, are you familiar with
9 an investigation concerning a Katie Day, approximately four years
10 of age?
11 MR. WILSON: Yes, I am.
12 THE COURT: I have presented to me a report dated
13 April 27, 1998, from an Earl F. Greenwald, M.D.,
14 G-r-e-e-n-w-a-1-d. Is that a report that you received?
15 MR. WILSON: Yes, it is.
16 THE COURT: And that report, I understand, has been
17 made available to counsel; is that correct?
18 MR. BRUNGARD: Yes, Your Honor.
19 MS. URBANO: Yes, Your Honor.
20 THE COURT: All right. Mr. Wilson, you have also
21 shown me another three page report, pages 3, 4, and 5 of
22 something else that was apparently faxed on April 27, 1998, from
23 Penn State Geisinger Pediatrics. Is that something that you
24 secured from somewhere?
25 MR. WILSON: Yes, it is.
5
1 THE COURT: And where did you get that?
2 MR. WILSON: I believe it came from Cumberland
3 County Children and Youth.
4 THE COURT: All right. Now, does counsel have
5 those three pages?
6 MR. BRUNGARD: I was just handed it five seconds
7 ago, Your Honor.
8 THE COURT: Ms. Urbano, I assume you have it.
9 MS. URBANO: Yes. They faxed me a copy, yes.
10 THE COURT: Mr. Wilson, can you tell me if you
11 know, is there a children and Youth investigation in progress in
12 some county with regard to the incidents that are discussed in
13 these two reports?
14 MR. WILSON: Yes, there are -- yes, there is.
15 THE COURT: What county?
16 MR. WILSON: Clinton County received a Child Line
17 referral on 4/28/98 alleging that an incident occurred in Clinton
18 County. I then called the sister county and requested a courtesy
19 visit -- courtesy interview and safety check of the child.
20 THE COURT: Well, is it my understanding that the
21 investigation is going to proceed in this county with respect to
22 a child who, based upon the Court's most recent Order, is now
23 living in Cumberland County?
24 MR. WILSON: We are responsible for the
25 investigation because the allegations are saying that it happened

in our county. So, we are responsible for the investigation. I,
then, get the help of the county where the child is living to
assist.
THE COURT: What is the status of the investigation
at this point?
MR. WILSON: It's still under investigation. I
made a referral to the State Police and provided them with
information as I was receiving it and it will be an ongoing
investigation with them as well.
THE COURT: Doctor Greenwald refers to some
chemical testing he was going to have done. Are those results
back?
MR. WILSON: Talking with Doctor Greenwald
yesterday, he explained that it's normal to get them back by the
end of the week. So, if the tests go smoothly, I should have a
fax to me by the end of the week. If not, then, the first of the
next week with the final report.
THE COURT: All right, Mr. Brungard. Do you have
any questions of Mr. Wilson?
CROSS-EXAMINATION
BY MR. BRUNGARD:
Q. Mr. Wilson, do you know whether or not Miss
Karichner is living with anybody?
7
1 A. Part of my questioning was who is living with her.
2 Q. Part of your questioning to whom?
3 A. I believe I asked you, but I also asked the
4 Cumberland County Children and Youth worker who was living in the
5 home.
6 Q. When you say asked me, you mean Randy Brungard?
7 A. No.
8 Q. When you asked -- you asked who?
9 A. I asked the mother who was living in the home and I
10 also asked the Cumberland County Children and Youth worker.
11 Q. What was the mother's response?
12 A. There was a boyfriend.
13 Q. Living there?
14 A. Yes.
15 Q. Did she say how long he had been living there?
16 A. No.
17 Q. Did you ask Cumberland County about the boyfriend?
18 A. I asked questions about the person. They did not
19 know much about the man, and I asked to have -- to see if they
20 had any information on him as a routine check.
21 Q. Have they checked him yet?
22 A. I have no information on it yet.
23 Q. And do you know how long he had been living there?
24 A. No, I don't.
25 Q. Have you asked anyone what this child calls that
8
1 boyfriend?
2 A. I have not yet, no.
3 Q. So, if that child calls the boyfriend Daddy and if
4 this report has been going on since -- the complaints have been
5 since February when Mom and Daddy have started being there, it
6 certainly casts eyes on him; does it not?
j? 7 A. The investigation is still ongoing and no one has
8 been ruled out yet.
9 W
ll
l
k
Q.
e
,
et me as
you this: Was he even thought of
10 prior to my questioning of you?
11 A. Part of my routine is I haven't ruled anybody out
12 yet.
13 Q. Let me ask you this: The first page of Doctor
14 Greenwald's report down at the bottom where Mom notes that Katie
15 frequently awakens and finds her completely undressed, that would
16 be at Mom's residence; wouldn't it -- bottom of the first page of
Fj
Id 17 th
A
il 27
h
e
pr
t
report?
18 A. It is correct.
19 Q. So, if a child is completely undressed in her
20 bedroom in the middle of the night, the child either undressed
21 herself or somebody undressed her who was at Mom's residence at
22 that time, correct?
1 23 A. It would appear to be, yes.
24 Q. Now, have you inquired as to whether or not -- why
25 is allowed to touch her

2 Q. Did you notice in page 2 of the Doctor's report
3 that it says that Katie says that Mommy is the one that's allowed
4 to touch her private parts, in the medical history, the fourth
5 paragraph down?
6 A. Yes.
7 Q. Are you also aware that Mommy is constantly telling
8 Katie that everything that happens down there is a secret?
9 MS. URBANO: I'd make an objection as to not
10 characterizing the report correctly.
11 THE COURT: Sustained.
12 MR. BRUNGARD: I'm not characterizing the report.
13 I'm asking if Mr. Wilson is aware of whether or not Mommy tells
14 Katie that things down there are a secret. I'm not referring to
15 the report at all.
16 BY MR. BRUNGARD:
17 Q. If you wouldn't be aware of that yet, you wouldn't
18 have asked Mother that?
19 THE COURT: Objection is overruled. You may
20 answer.
21 THE WITNESS: Pardon?
22 THE COURT: You may answer.
23 A. I have not interviewed the mother independently
24 II other than on the phone, and I have not gone over the report for
25 that purpose.

5 Q. Are you aware of Paragraph 2(b) that says Mother is
6 to advise the Court in writing of the identity of anyone who

13 maintain her residence at Mount Holly Springs?
14 A. That's on (c), yes.
15 Q. And are you aware as to whether or not Mother has
16 advised the Court of her change of residence prior to changing?
17 A No
I am not

^)
J 18 Q. Are you aware that Mother has changed her
19 residence?
J 20 A. i have the mother's address.
21 Q. Would you tell the Court what the current address
-' 22 is?
23 A. 11 Schoolhouse Road, Newville, Pennsylvania.
.J
24 Q. Did she tell you when she took that residence?
25 A No
she did not
. ,
.
:J
11
I Q. Did she tell you whether it was a recent residence?
2 A. No, she did not.
3 Q. Are you aware of sub-paragraph (d), where Mother
4 shall refrain from taking the child to any counselor,
5 psychologist, social service worker, or any third party without
6 specific written permission of the Court?
7 A. Yes, I see.
8 Q. Are you aware whether she obtained that written
9 permission before she took this child to three different doctors
10 within the past week and exposed this child to the examination of
11 Doctor Greenwald without getting permission from the Court or
12 without contacting anybody?
13 A. Yes.
14 Q. Have you ever seen a home investigation of Mother's
15 residence?
16 A. No, I haven't. There was mention in the record
17 that one was to be done, I believe.
18 Q. But none has ever been done?
19 A. I'm not aware of one being done, no.
20 Q. Now, with reference to the three-page report from
21 Penn State Geisinger, you see where the box is in the vital
22 signs?
23 A. Let me see.
24 Q. Do you have one available?
25 A. I gave mine to the Judge.
12
1 Q. All right. If the Court -- exactly -- would you
2 interpret wha t that -- what you're pointing to, what your
3 interpretatio n of that is?
4 A. Being a zero with a line through it?
5 Q. Yes.
6 A. I interpret that as no bleeding, no lacerations, no
7 bruising.
8 THE REPORTER: I didn't hear you.
9 BY MR. BRUNGARD:
10 Q. Speak louder.
11 A. I believe it means no. A circle with a slash is
12 shorthand for no.
13 Q. No what?
14 A. No bleeding, no lacerations.
15 Q. No bruising?
16 A. No bruising, mild arrythmia.
17 Q. And where are we talking about? What part of the
18 child's body are we talking about that's being examined?
19 A. The genitalia.
20 Q. Is your interpretation of Doctor Greenwald's report
21 that there ha s or has not been a breaking of the hymen?
22 A. The doctor's report indicates that there is a cleft
23 at 12 o'clock .
24 Q. Also reports there's a stretching of the hymen,
25 does it not, on the last page, the first paragraph?
J
r
13
1 A. He described it as (reading) the transverse
2 diameter of her hymen orifice was large for her age and suggests
3 stretching of her hymen by introduction of a foreign body into
4 her vagina (end reading).
5 Q. Now, would you interpret that as a breaking or a
6 non-breaking of the hymen?
7 A. It says stretching.
8 Q. Okay. Now, when we're dealing -- is it fair to
9 say, Mr. Wilson, that you have dealt with other sexual abuse
10 allegations involving children in the past?
it A. I have, yes.
12 Q. And is it safe to say that when an adult would have
13 some type of penetration of a just turned four year old child or
14 a just under four year old child in the genitalia that there
15 would be some serious bruising internally and externally if an
16 examination were performed?
17 MS. URBANO: I would object to this witness not
18 having that type of medical knowledge.
19 THE COURT: Sustained.
20 MR. BRUNGARD: I'm asking based upon his --
21 THE COURT: And the objection is sustained. That's
22 a decision I'm going to make; and if we have to have Doctor
23 Greenwald up here, we will.
24 BY MR. BRUNGARD:
25 Q. Based upon this report and based upon the fact that
14
1 this child would call Dave, Mother's live-in, Daddy, would you
2 have any concerns with this child --
3 MS. URBANO: Objection, again, to the
4 characterization of the question assuming that the child does
5 call this man Daddy.
6 THE COURT: Sustained.
7 BY MR. BRUNGARD:
8 Q. Assuming that --
9 i
d
d
'
THE COURT: Susta
ne
, Mr. Brungar
. You
re
10 getting way beyond the purpose of the qualification of this
11 witness.
12 MR. BRUNGARD: Your Honor, my --
13 THE COURT: Make those arguments to me, Mr.
14 Brungard, not to this witness.
15 MR. BRUNGARD: Okay.
16 THE COURT: Anything else? Ms. Urbano, any
i
?
17 quest
ons
r? 18 MS. URBANO: I have no questions.
J 19 THE COURT: Thank you, Mr. Wilson. You may sit
20 down.
21 Now, at the risk of trivializing the reason why --
,,.
J '
22 re here, I believe one of those reasons
one of the reasons why we
23 is Ms. Urbano's request for permission to modify Paragraph 2(c)
24 of the Order of December 23, 1997. Do I understand, as Mr.
25 Brungard is suggesting, Ms. Urbano, your client has already
J
J
15
1 moved?
2 MS. URBANO: I had written a letter to you.
3 THE COURT: April 15th --
4 MS. URBANO: Yes.
5 THE COURT: -- and I immediately scheduled a
6 hearing for today on that issue. Now, --
7 MS. URBANO: On that letter? Okay. My
8 understanding was this was scheduled pursuant to a letter that
9 was received by you from Mr. Day. It had nothing to do with the
10 letter that I was writing to you. That was not included in
11 your --
12 THE COURT: That's correct.
13 MS. URBANO: Right.
14 THE COURT: The Order --
15 MS. URBANO: This --
16 THE COURT: Just a minute, Ma'am. The order of
17 April 6th scheduling a hearing for today was based upon Mr. Day's
18 letter to me. When I received your letter of April 15, 1998, I
19 issued another Order on April 24, 1998, scheduling a hearing for
20 today on that letter. My question is relatively simple and that
21 is, Are you telling me at this point that your client does not,
22 in fact, reside at Mount Holly Springs anymore?
23 MS. URBANO: That's correct. Can I add to that?
24 THE COURT: Do you have a foster home available for
25 this child?

1 MR. WILSON: I can check.
2 THE COURT: Go and check. I'll see counsel.
3 MR. BRUNGARD: Your Honor, if I might, while Mr.
4 Wilson is here, my understanding is that --
5 THE COURT: I'll see counsel, Mr. Brungard.
6 (Whereupon, the discussion between the Court
7 and counsel held at Sidebar at this time was neither
8 stenographically recorded nor made a part of this
9 transcript.)
10 THE COURT: All right, Ms. Karichner. Do you want
11 to come up and be sworn, please?
12
13 SHELLEY MARIE KARICHNER, having been called as a
14 witness, was duly sworn and testified as follows:
15
16 THE COURT: State your name, please.
17 MS. KARICHNER: Shelley Marie Karichner.
18 THE COURT: Miss Karichner., where are you living?
19 MS. KARICHNER: 11 Schoolhouse Road, Newville.
20 THE COURT: Where?
21 MS. KARICHNER: 11 Schoolhouse Road, Newville.
22 THE COURT: Newville?
23 MS. KARICHNER: Yes.
24 THE COURT: Who do you live with?
25 MS. KARICHNER: Dave just moved in on the 15th, the
J
3
J
J
17
1 11 day that Katie went with her dad.
2 THE COURT: Dave who?
3 MS. KARICHNER: Noreika.
4 THE REPORTER: Can you spell that?
5 MS. KARICHNER: N-o-r-e-i-k-a.
6 THE COURT: Now, I issued an Order on December 23,
7 1997, which says: Mother shall continue to maintain her
e residence at Mount Holly Springs. Are you able to read the
9 English language?
10 MS. KARICHNER: Yes, air.
11 THE COURT: Did you get a copy of that Order?
12 MS. KARICHNER: Yes, sir.
13 THE COURT: Did you get a written Order from the
14 Court permitting you to violate that paragraph?
15 MS. KARICHNER: No, air. I got ahold of my
16 attorney and she told me she wrote you a letter.
17 THE COURT: And you and your attorney believe that
18 all you have to do is write me a letter telling me what you are
19 going to do that supersedes what I tell you you are going to do;
20 is that right?
21 MS. KARICHNER: I didn't know, to be honest with
22 you.
23 THE COURT: All right. That Order also says:
24 Mother shall advise the Court in writing of the identity of
25 (I
anyone who resides with her in her home.
18
I 1 MS. KARICHNER: I asked my attorney that, too.
' 2 This place in Newville, I cou ldn't pass it up. It was a really
3 nice place. The one we were at, it was small. She didn't have
4 much room to move in and now she does. I mean, it's a nice
5 location and everything. I was only looking out for the best
6 interest of her.
7 THE COURT: Whe re are you working now?
8 MS. KARICHNER: I work with a temp agency at AT&T.

to take the job because I wasn
t able to lift anymore at
10 the Weis Market due to surgery that I had. It was causing me to
11 bleed and stuff.
12 THE COURT: And where are you working?
13 MS. KARICHNER: I work at -- it's called DDS. It's
14 for AT&T.
J 15 THE COURT: And where is this job?
16 MS. KARICHNER: It's in Mechanicsburg.
-; 17 THE COURT: And what are your hours?
-k 18 MS. KARICHNER: 8:00 to 5:00, Monday through
19 Friday.
20 THE COURT: Who watches the child?
21 MS. KARICHNER: Mulberry Day Care. She is in the
22 pre-school Kindergarten program.
23 THE COURT: Who takes her to the day care?
24 MS. KARICHNER: I do.
25 THE COURT: Who picks her up from the day care?
J
J
19
1 MS. KARICHNER: I do, and I brought all Katie's
2 reports with me from the day care, if you would like to see them.
3 Also, I have pictures of the house, if you want to see them.
4 THE COURT: Mr. Noreika, how old is he?
5 MS. KARICHNER: He just turned twenty-five in
6 February.
7 THE COURT: How long have you known him?
8 MS. KARICHNER: I met him the end of October and we
9 were just dating on and off, and I introduced him to Katie in
10 February.
11 THE COURT: Now, when Ms. Urbano wrote me a letter
12 on April 15, 1998, saying Mr. Noreika currently resides with his
13 parents, she was apparently mistaken about that.
14 MS. KARICHNER: He was residing with his parents.
15 April 15th is the day I gave the lady the check for the rent for
16 the new house.
17 THE COURT: And when did you move in together?
18 MS. KARICHNER: We started moving stuff that week
19 while Katie was up here with her dad.
20 THE COURT: Well, Miss Karichner, let me ask you
21 this: You have -- if you were to have an alternative of having
22 your daughter continue to live with you under the current
23 schedule or having Mr. Noreika continue to live with you, which
24 one would you pick?
25 MS. KARICHNER: My daughter.

THE COURT: Mr. Day has written me a rather lengthy
letter complaining about a number of things, the bottom line
appearing to be that the pick up and delivery time is not
appropriate. Is there some problem now with exchange times?
MS. KARICHNER: It's because I work until
5 o'clock. I have to hit the rush hour traffic to get Katie
picked up. I can't get her picked up and be up there on time;
and on April 1st Todd demanded that I have Katie there at
2 o'clock in the morning -- or he would have her there at
2 o'clock in the morning for me to pick her up.
THE COURT: Did he?
MS. KARICHNER: No, he didn't. He, in return, had
his mom bring her back and I read the letter where he states in
there that he don't have any money to bring her back. Well, his
mom has been there every single time since then, and I also have
pictures of what his mom did to my arms. Where she says -- where
he says in there I grabbed his mom by the wrist, I never once
laid a hand on that lady.
THE COURT: When do you suggest the exchange time
I be?
MS. KARICHNER: Seven o'clock is pushing it, but I
can be there by 7 o'clock like it used to be. I don't have
enough time to pick her up from day care and still get her up
there because I hit all that traffic.
THE COURT: Mr. Brungard?
21
1 MR. BRUNGARD: Your Honor, so that we don't -- so
2 the Court understands our position as far as the time is
3 concerned, we're not concerned with it being 6:15, 6:30. Even
4 though the last Order doesn't specifically state it, when we were
5 here the last time when this went to 50/50 in February, the
6 Court -- I believe it was off the record, because she had asked
7 for a change in time then, it was agreed to be 6:30. So, the
8 6:15 hasn't been in effect since, I believe, February, the last
9 time we were here. We don't have a problem with 7 o'clock at
10 night. The problem is the way that Miss Karichner treats Mr.
it Day, dictates, treats his mother to the point where Gram doesn't
12 want to have to do the exchanges because of the way she is being
13 treated by Miss Day (sic.), the fact that she had to call the
14 State Police because of Miss Karichner's actions. Mr. Day has
15 been advised and he makes sure that he goes to these pick up and
16 deliveries with somebody else so he doesn't get accused of doing
17 anything wrong. It's more the dictatorial manner in which Miss
18 Karichner --
19 THE COURT: Do you have a question?
20 MR. BRUNGARD: Certainly.
21
22 CROSS-EXAMINATION
23
24 IBY MR. BRUNGARD:
25 Q. Miss Karichner, did you ask the Court for
22
1 11 permission to take the child to see the doctor?
2 A. No, because I didn't think I needed permission to
3 take my child to go see a doctor. I mean, she was complaining of
4 irritation between her legs, burning.
5 Q. Did you -- in the beginning of April, was the child
6 treated for redness and given a salve?
7 A. Excuse me?
8 Q. At the beginning of April, was the child treated
9 for redness and did you obtain a salve for her?
10 A. I don't understand your question, that last part of
11 it.
12 Q. Cream, salve, some type of ointment?
13 A. The beginning of April?
14 Q. Yes.
15 A. No. That's when I called Todd and I asked Todd
16 what he put on her because Katie told me it was Vicks. So, I
17 called him and I asked him. I said, Todd, what did you put on
18 Katie? And this was an hour after we came home and Katie said
19 that it was Vicks and I asked Todd and Todd's exact words were, I
20 didn't put nothing on her. What? Somebody touch her? And he
21 hung the phone up on me.
22 Q. Miss Karichner, my question to you is, Did you or
23 did you not send salve up or forget to send salve up with Katie
24 back in the beginning of April?
25 A. I went to the store.
?J
i
J
J
:J
.J
23
1 Q. That's a simple --
2 A. I went to the store and I got Vagisil, thinking
3 that might help it, and I told Todd what it was. I forgot it and
4 I didn't understand why he couldn't pick it up, a simple tube, to
5 put on her.
6 Q. So, when Katie complained to Gram and to Mr. Day
7 that Mommy didn't send any salve up -- I'm sore but Mommy didn't
8 send any up, that's what she would have been referring to?
9 A. The Vagisil that I bought, and I specifically told
10 them I forgot it, trying getting around for work.
it Q. I'm not blaming you for forgetting. I'm just
12 asking you --
13 A. He never wants to buy this kid anything. This kid
14 goes home hungry. She tells me all the time. What am I supposed
15 to do?
16 Q. Miss Karichner, does Katie play doctor?
17 A. Does Katie play doctor?
18 Q. Yes.
19 A. At my house, she does not.
20 Q. She doesn't?
21 A. No, she does not.
22 Q. Does she ever scratch herself or touch herself or
23 moon anybody?
24 A. Excuse me?
25 Q. Does she ever scratch herself in her private area

or touch herself anywhere in her private area?
A. The only time is when she went to the bathroom and
she said about it burning and she would point to it. That was
it.
Q. Has she ever pulled down her pants and mooned
anybody and said, Look at my butt --
A. No.
Q. -- in a laughing -- like a little kid might do?
A. No, I have never seen that.
Q. You have never seen that?
A. No, I have never seen her do it.
Q. Did she ever play like she was having a baby?
A. No, I have never seen it.
Q. When did you give Mr. Day your new address?
A. Wednesday, when he brought Katie back.
Q. Would that have been April 22nd?
A. Yes, it was.
Q. When did you give him your new phone number?
A. April 22nd.
Q. When did Katie first see this place?
A. The Wednesday that she came up with her dad.
Q. So, she saw it that day?
A. Yes.
Q. So, you were moving in that day?
A. It was that night that we started moving stuff
25
1 over
.
2 Q. So, if Katie would say that Mommy and Dad -- Dave
3 have their bedroom and she has a bedroom, that would be because
a 4 she saw that place that day?
5 A. Yes.
6 Q. Okay. In the past two or three months, have you
7 made any comments to anyone that you wanted Mr. Day to sign off
8 so Dave could adopt Katie?

10 doesn't want to support her and he doesn't want to do anything
11 with her. It seems like the grandmother is the one that's
12 pushing the issue.
13 Q. Have you ever said anything to Hope, Mr. Day's
14 girlfriend, about it?
15 A. No, I did not, not that I know of.
16 Q. What shift does Dave work, your boyfriend?
d 17 A. Dave, he works at Frye Communication. He works

J 18 from 6:00 in the morning to 6:00 at night Monday through Friday
19 every other week.
20 Q. Every other week?
21 A. Yes.
J
22 Q. So, there are weeks when he has off?
J 23 A. The weeks that he has off have been the weeks that
24 Todd has Katie.
25 Q. So, you anticipated my next question.
J
J
a
J
J
26
1 A. (No response.)
2 THE COURT: Apparently.
3 BY MR. BRUNGARD:
4 Q. Do you have any proof that he works the week on and
5 week off when -- his schedule?
6 A. Not with me, but I can get it, yes.
7 Q. Does Dave ever watch Katie?
8 A. No, he does not. He doesn't feel comfo rtable
9 watching her.
10 Q. Now, without going into any detail, is it a fact
11 you and your sister were abused as minors?
12 A. No.
13 Q. So, you have never told Mr. Day and you have never
14 told Mr. Zimmerman, you have never told anybody that your father
15 touched you or abused you when you were minors?
16 A. He never touched us, but he has smacked us, but not
17 really t ouched us.
18 Q. Smacked you where?
19 A. He has gave us lickings when we were in trouble on
20 the behi nd but nothing to abuse us.
21 Q. So, if Mr. Day said --
22 THE COURT: Mr. Brungard.
23 MR. BRUNGARD: Certainly, Your Honor.
24 BY MR. B RUNGARD:
25 Q. When you wash your clothes and Katie's clothes,
e
u
u
J
27
1 what do you use?
2 A. Surf.
3 Q. Do you use anything else? Do you use any other
4 additional detergents, Chlorox, anything like that?
5 A. No, because I'm not able to use it myself.
6 Q. Did you at one time use Chlorox?
7 A. Just on whites but never on Katie's clothes, just
8 on her socks.
9 Q. What color underwear does she use? Does she wear
10 white underwear or does she wear dyed underwear?
11 A. I always get her -- not dyed underwear but white
12 underwear with prints on them; but when she comes back, she does
13 have dark navy blue underwear on. She has one pair of silky blue
14 underwear. That's all.
15 Q. So, it's your position that you have her wear white
16 underwear and Mr. Day's family has her wear colored underwear?
17 A. She comes back where a pair of blue underwear.
18 Q. Doesn't she come back in the same clothes that she
19 gets sent in?
20 A. Sometimes. Well, most of the time she does, except
21 her underwear and socks may be different.
22 Q. So, is it fair to say that you keep a set of
23 clothes for Katie and Mr. Day keeps a set of clothes for Katie?
24 A. What do you mean?
25 Q. I'm talking about all of her clothes. Is it fair
f?
28
1 to say that you keep a set of clothes for Katie and Mr. Day keeps
2 a set of clo thes for Katie?
3 A. Yes, I have sent clothes up for Todd to keep there
4 for Katie.
5 Q. Have you ever told Katie that Daddy is going to go
6 to jail?
7 A. No, I have not.
8 Q. Never?
9 A. Never. I wouldn't even tell Katie something like
10 that.
11 Q. When you were in high school, did you have to go to
12 the hospital at one point in time to have a foreign object
13 removed from you?
14 A. No, that is not true. It's a rumor. I know
15 exactly what you're talking about. A girl at school didn't like
16 me. She accused me of using a hot dog and having it removed. It
17 never happened.
18 Q. Does Dave have any kids?
19 A. No, Dave does not have any kids.
20 Q. The report from Doctor Greenwald indicates that you
21 found her completely undressed in the middle of the night.
22 A. Yes. That was just recently.
23 Q. What's recently?
24 A. Thursday, it was. She came home Wednesday night,

1 private parts but nobody else is?
2 A. That's only to bath her; and when she tells me that
3 it hurts down there, I will put cream on her. Those are the only
4 times I ever touched her.
5 Q. I'm not accusing you of abusing your child. My
6 question is, Can you explain to me why Katie would say only me
7 and Mommy are allowed to touch my private parts?
8 A. I never told Katie that at all. I have told Katie
9 that Mommy will look at it and put cream on it and bath her.
10 That's the exact words I have said to Katie.
11 Q. Well, on the top of page 2 of Doctor Greenwald's
12 report, you indicate that Katie has been acting out, correct?
13 A. Just that one night over there in the hospital on
14 Thursday night and that's what I told Doctor Greenwald.
15 Q. You told him what?
16 A. That Thursday night, one of the culture tubes,
17 Katie stuck it in a rubber glove and she stuck between her legs.
q, 18 That's all she did, and that's exactly what I told Doctor
19 Greenwald.
20 Q. And she did that to herself?
21 A. Yes, and then that's when Doctor Greenwald told me
22 that --
23 Q. I'm not asking you what Doctor Greenwald said
24 because you can't say what Doctor Greenwald said because we don't
25 get a chance to examine him. Is it fair to say that you took
31
1 this child to a doctor on Thursday of last week, Friday of last
2 week, and Monday of this week?
3 A. Yes. I took her Thursday night to the hospital.
4 That was wrote up as alleged sexual assault case.
5 Q. Just answer my question. Did you take the child to

14 was an alleged sexual assault. So, I took her there; and when I

5 Q. Now, can you explain why Katie was interviewed and
6 she was asked why she was here today Katie said, To say the words
7 "Daddy said"?
B A. All I know was -- from what I was told, Katie told
9 them she was there to talk about what Daddy did. That's all I
10 know.
11 Q. Daddy did or Daddy said?
12 A. Daddy did, as far as I know.
13 Q. Can you explain why this report says: Why she was
14 here today, she said, To say the words "Daddy said"?
15 A. I don't know, but when I was over at Chris Arnold's
16 office, they told me they tried to talk to Katie to get Katie to
17 cooperate and to get Katie to tell her what was going on.
18 THE COURT: Who is the Cody that's referred to in
19 Doctor Greenwald's report?
20 MS. KARICHNER: I have no idea who Cody is. I just
21 heard of that on Monday. She said that that was Daddy's
22 neighbor. I don't know. The only Cody that I know of was
23 supposedly Todd's girlfriend's niece -- or nephew, Dakota.

6 CROSS-EXAMINATION
7
8 BY MS. URBANO:
9 Q. I'd like you to tell the Court what happened when
10 the child returned from her father this last time, which would
11 have been the 23rd, I believe?
12 A. Wednesday, we picked Katie up. We got home around
13 8 o'clock, 8:30. I went and put Katie in bed because she was
14 really tired, but on the way home Katie was telling us that she
15 was hungry and her dad didn't feed her again. So, we stopped and
16 grabbed her something to eat. We got home. I put her to bed.
17 Dave goes up and goes to bed and I was sitting up in her room
18 with Katie reading stories and we were just talking and then she
19 fell asleep. That night -- or during the middle of the night I
20 was still awake. I was having trouble sleeping. Just recently
21 it's been going on, and I heard Katie crying and I went over
22 because I was in the bedroom reading a book and here she was
23 completely undressed and tossing and turning all over her bed
24 just crying, and I woke her up, and I said, Katie, what's wrong
25 Honey; and she just wouldn't talk to me. She said she just
34
U 1 wanted a drink. So, I got her a drink and got her dressed.
n 2 Thursday morning came along. She got up, got ready
l) 3 to go to pre-school; and when I took her to pre-school, she is
a 4 usually excited to go. She really likes it there. She has a
5 good time, and she didn't want to get out of the car. She didn't
i
6 was
want to leave my side; and I said -- at the time Miss Lor
7 her teacher; and I turned to her. I said, I don't know if Katie
?j 8 is not feeling well or what's going on. She just came back from
9 her dad's. She said, Okay. I'll just keep an eye on her; and I
10 said, Well, if she is not feeling well, just go ahead and give me
11 a call at work and I'll come get her if need to be; and she said
12 okay. Well, about 11 o'clock, I got a call from the day care to
13 come pick up Katie, but it wasn't because she wasn't feeling
th
hi
14 e
t
good. It was because she fell off the tunnels and she
15 side of her head. So, they asked me to take her to the Emergency
J
16 Room for that, and I did.
17 Later on that day, every time she went to the
18 bathroom she kept complaining that it hurt, that it hurt, that it
19 hurt; and I said, Why does it hurt, Honey? It just hurts; it
20 burns; it hurts. I was downstairs in the kitchen. It was around
21 7:00, 7:30 because Dave just got home from work, and I was right
was
ti
d K
22 e
a
there by the sink and he laid down by the couch, an
23 out in the kitchen with me because she was playing on the floor;
J
J 24 and out of the clear blue, this kid was playing with this doll
25 and she was saying, Hi. I'm walking, talking Doctor Dad; and
bab
y
J
e
p
u
a
J
J
35
1 I said, What? And then she says, Hi. I'm walking, talking
2 Doctor Todd. At that time is when Dave rolled off the couch and
3 he said, What did she just say? And I told him, and she kept
4 going on and on saying that, you know, her Daddy calls her a
5 stupid F, that we F, F you; and she kept on going on and on and
6 on and that's when she said that her Daddy had touched liar down
7 there. That's why I didn't know what to think. I didn't know
8 what to do. I tried to get ahold of you, Lenore, but you weren't
9 there to get ahold of you to find out what to do. So, I thought
10 the best interest was to go get her taken care of, to nee why nhe
11 was sore.
12 Q. Did you make a call -- who did you make a call to
13 first?
14 A. I talked to Crisis Intervention down there in
15 Carlisle to ask them, you know, about what I should do or how I
16 should go about it. I said to them I wasn't accusing anybody of
17 any sexual assault. I don't know. It could be a urinary tract
18 infection or something like that, that she wan with liar dnd and I
19 didn't know how the hygiene was, you know, bring washed or
20 whatever.
21 Q. Now, I want to ask you, had you noticed redness and
22 painful urination before with your daughter?
23 A. Yeah. Ever since I left Todd back in January of
24 197, was it, staying with my mom, Katie came back all Born and
25 red and irritated.
36
1 Q. And how were you dealing with it all this time?
2 A. I just thought it was poor hygiene and just would
3 get Va gisil or cream to put on her because she wasn't being wiped
4 proper ly or wasn't being bathed properly.
5 Q. Did you ever try to speak to Todd about it and ask
6 him if he was having these problems?
7 A. That was in the middle of our -- as I spoke to
8 Randy Brungard about it and I confronted Todd. It was an hour
9 after we got home and Katie told me that Daddy put Vicks on her,
10 which, I knew it wouldn't be Vicks. So, I called and I said,
11 Todd, Katie is complaining that she is sore. What did you use?
12 And I said she said Vicks. He said, Well, she wasn't sore while
13 she wa s up here. What? Did somebody touch her, and hung the
14 phone up on me, wouldn't even discuss anything with me, just hung
15 up on me.
16 Q. And were you just trying to find out what he was
17 using for the redness?
18 A. Yes.
19 Q. All right. Now, you said you called Crisis. What
20 did Cr isis tell you to do?
21 A. They told me to bring her down to the Carlisle
22 Emerge ncy Room.
23 Q. And after they looked at her at Carlisle Emergency
24 Room, what instructions did they give you?
25 A. That's when Doctor Frank advised me to take her to
Q
a
J
37
1 her pediatrician because he felt that there might have been an
2 alleged sexual assault case and to call Cumberland County
3 Children and Youth because he wasn't able to get ahold of them.
4 Q. And did you do that? Did you take her --
5 A. Yes, I did.
6 Q. -- and call?
7 A. Yes, I did.
g Q. And what happened when you were at the
9 pedestrian 's?
10 A. Chris Arnold examined Katie. That is when she told
11 me that she found the cleft. She believed it was at 3 o'clock,
12 but it wasn't. She called the other doctor in to dictate it also
13 so she had more evidence and more proof that it was there.
14 Q. Did you know what a cleft was? Did she explain to
15 you what a cleft was?
16 A. I didn't know what a cleft was until she said that
17 a cleft is a scar that comes from some type of sexual abuse or
1s something being inserted into the vagina.
19 Q. Did she ask -- did she refer Katie to another
20 doctor?
21 A. Yes. She said that she wasn't able to --
22 MR. BRUNGARD: Your Honor, at this point in time I
23 have to object to everything that this lady said.
24 THE COURT: Sustained.
25 MR. BRUNGARD: Thank you.

4 A. Yes.
5 Q. And who was that doctor that you were referred to?
6 A. Doctor Greenwald.
7 Q. And did you take her to Doctor Greenwald?
8 A. Yes, I did, on Monday.
9 Q. Prior to taking her to the doctor, had you -- had
10 you been thinking that Katie had been -- was -- had any sexual
11 contact with anyone? Had that entered your mind before or is
12 this the first you really --
13 A. This is, basically, the first. I just, like I
14 said, I t hought it was just poor hygiene or just not being wiped
15 properly. That's all.
16 Q. Now -- and this has been going on, on and off, for
17 approxima tely, you say a year?
18 A. Yes.
19 Q. Now, Mr. Brungard has asked you a lot of questions
20 about the fellow you're seeing now.
21 A. Yes.
22 Q. What is your relationship to him now?
23 A. I'm his fiancee. We're getting married in June of
24 next year .
25 Q. You said that -- I think you already testified
39
1 briefly that you met him at the end of October. You introduced
2 him to Katie in February.
3 A. Yes, I did.
4 Q. And did he stay overnight at your place when Katie
5 was around?
6 A. Not at all. I wouldn't allow it.
7 Q. And you said -- you told the Judge that you found

12 A. Yes.
13 Q. -- that you found another home?
14 A. Yes.
15 Q. Were you under -- when did you sign a lease for
16 this home?
17 A. I signed it on the 15th of April. The lady called
18 and said that if I didn't act now on it I wouldn't have the place
19 because there was a couple that was really interested in it also.
20 Q. And was this home better for you and Katie than the
21 home you were living in?
22 A. It was a lot better. We were living in a small two
23 bedroom apartment. It was on a busy road. There was people
24 coming and go ing. There was a church parking lot behind us. She
25 really didn't have much room to play. Inside the house there was

only one closet, which was in my room. We couldn't hardly have
any furniture in there either; and her place now, there is a
living room, dining room, full basement, kitchen, her own big
bedroom, our bedroom; and it's on about a half acre of ground, if
not more, in a nice quiet area.
Q. Did you take some pictures of this home --
A. Yes, I did.
Q. -- to bring to court with you today?
A. Yes, I did.
Q. Now, I have given these pictures --
A. I just felt that this was so much better
environment for Katie. I really did.
Q. And did you think that -- did you think that you
needed to have something from the Court okaying this or notifying
the Court?
MR. BRUNGARD: Objection; leading.
BY MS. URBANO:
Q. What was your understanding as far as --
A. I just thought my understanding was to notify you
and you were going to write a letter to the Judge. That's my
understanding of it.
Q. And you signed a lease, you said, on April 15th?
A. Yes.
Q. When did you actually finish to the point where you
could move into the place?
41
1 A. On the 21st.
2 Q. The 21st of --
3 A. April.
4 Q. -- of April, and that's when you and Dave moved in
5 together was the 21st of April?
6 A. Yes, it was.
7 Q. And where was Katie between April 15th and
8 April 21st?
9 A. With her dad.
10 Q. Now, Mr. Day had written a letter to the Judge
11 concerning his having to pay support and a list of different
12 complaints.
13 A. (Witness nods head affirmatively.)
14 Q. I want to ask you, when you were in court in
15 December, where were you working?
16 A. At the Weis Market.
17 Q. And when did you stop working there?
18 A. It was the end of January, beginning of February.
19 Q. Why did you have to stop?
20 A. Because of the constant heavy lifting, I was
21 bleeding and I was swelling. I couldn't keep lifting.
22 Q. Had you had surgery in the past?
23 A. I had surgery in October of 196 for a complete
24 hysterectomy due to cancer cells. Back in June of '97, I had to
25 go back in and have some more surgery because the doctor didn't
a
M

M
¦
42
1 get all the growth, but this is something I have been battling
2 with.
3 Q. And were you able, because of the swelling to
4 return to Weis to that job?
5 A. The doctor referred me to a pain management clinic,
6 and his rec ommendation was not to go back, try to find an office
7 type job where I'm sitting or minimize the lifting. Weis Markets
8 couldn't mi nimize lifting for me. So, I had to stop working
9 there.
10 Q. And you got the job, then, for AT&T with the temp
11 agency?
12 A. Yes.
13 Q. Do you expect that to be permanent?
14 A. Yes, I do.
15 Q. Are you just hoping it will be permanent?
16 A. Yeah. They said there was an ongoing contract with
17 them that a fter ninety days they evaluate you for being hired
18 directly on with them; and if I got hired with them, it will be
19 Nine Fifty an hour, where I'm making Eight Fifty an hour now
20 versus Five Twenty-five at Weis'.
21 Q. So, this is a better job?
22 A. A lot better job.
23 Q. Any possibility for health benefits here?
24 A. Yeah.
25 Q. Now, Mr. Day complained about the support issue.

Did the support office terminate your support action in
February -- on February 17th of this year?
A. Yes, they did.
Q. Did you actually authorize that?
A. No, I did not.
Q. What happened?
A. I spoke with Jeanne Monoski on the 12th of February
i
and I asked Jeanne, I said, we are going to be going 50/50
custody. Do I need to stop support or what do I do? She said,
No, you don't need to stop support, but if you would like to stop
support, you have to put it in writing and send it to me.
Q. And did you ever put anything in writing and ask
her to do that?
A. No, I didn't. She went ahead and stopped it
herself.
Q. When we were in court in February, did you go back
to the support office to see about getting that reinstated then,
since it had been terminated in error?
A. Yes. That's when we talked to Michael Angelelli
and he said that since it was terminated, that since I live in
Cumberland County we could go down there and file.
Q. And did you do that?
A. Not right away, no, I did not.
Q. Eventually did you do that, refile for it to get it
reinstated again?
44
1 A. Yes, I did.

8 Q. And is that a program that she can continue through
9 the summer?
10 A. Yes.
11 Q. And can she continue in that for Kindergarten next
12 year?
13 A. Yes, she can. They have a certified teacher so
14 that she can go to Kindergarten right there on site so that I
15 don't have to worry about trying to find a sitter before or after
16 school. She can go right there and I know right where she's at.
17 Q. Does Katie enjoy that school?
18 A. She enjoys it very much.
19 Q. Do you get weekly reports from the school?
20 A. I get a report every day from the school.
21 Q. When you were in mediation with Mr. Meacham, did
22 you discuss w ith him and Todd at that time or did the two of you
23 discuss your desire to get Katie into a pre-school setting?
24 A. Excuse me?
25 Q. Did you discuss with Mr. Meacham during your
45
1 mediation about getting -- trying to move Katie into a
2 pre-school?
3 A. Yeah. That was with the intermediate unit.
4 Q. Now, when you went to AT&T, how did your hours
5 change from when we were in court in December?
6 A. At the Weis Markets I was working either 7:00 to
7 4:00 or 8:00 to 4:00. I'm working 8:00 to 5:30 now.

9 A. Or I'm sorry. 8:30 to 5:00.
10 Q. To 5:00?
11 A. Yeah, to 5:00.
12 Q. And when did you actually start at AT&T?
13 A. March 30th.
14 Q. And when did you inform Mr. Day that your work
15 hours were going to be changing?

17 Katie.
18 Q. And were you able to talk to him on the 23rd?
19 A. No, I was not.
20 Q. Did you try to notify him since you weren't able to
21 talk to him -- first, did you ask to talk to him?
22 A. Yes. i asked Katie to put her dad on the phone and
23 Katie said, Daddy, Mommy wants to talk to you; and in the
24 background Todd is shouting, Well, I'm not talking to that F
25 bitch becau se she' s a slut. All she wants is my money.
46
1 Q. Did he ever get on the phone to talk to you?
2 A. No, he did not.
3 Q. Did you try to let him know through his attorney
4 about the change in your work time?
5 A. Yes. That is when I contacted you and contacted
6 him.
7 Q. And did you ever get any response regarding
e changing that time after the letters were sent?
9 A. No. On April let, that's when I got called a liar
10 stating that it was never sent, that I was lying, that you never
11 sent anything to the attorney.
12 Q. So, on April let, would that have been the first
13 time that you would have been late --
14 A. Yes.
15 Q. -- and you wouldn't have been there at 6:15?
16 A. Yes, it was.
17 Q. Okay. To your knowledge, did the time ever change
is from 6:15 to 6:30 or was it always 6:157
19 A. We were meeting at 6:30, yes.
20 Q. Okay. I'd like you to tell the Court what happened
21 when you arrived late -- you were later than 6:30 on the let,
22 April 1st?
23 A. We arrived about ten minutes of 7:00 with Katie. I
24 asked Dave to get out of our truck with me because when we
25 M
arrived Jane was already out of the car.
i
47
1 Q. Who is Jane?
7 2 A. Todd's mom and the car doors were wide open and I
3 just had a funny feeling that something was going to happen. We
4 got there. I left -- Katie g ave Dave a kiss good-bye and I bent
5 down to giv e her a kiss, and at that time Todd's mom took her and
6 put her in the carseat and wouldn't leave me give her a kiss
7 good-bye or nothing. I told Todd I would see him nex t Wednesday

9 2:00 in the morning because I have to work too.
10 Q. When does he get off work?
11 A. He works 4:00 to midnight that day, but any other
] 12 time his mom usually brought her back. It's always been his mom
13 or his dad. He has only brought her back four times since
J

18 over to Dave and says, All we care about is Katie. All I want is
19 Katie; and at that time Todd was in the front seat reaching
20 across Katie. Yeah, Dave, all she's going to do is take your
21 F-ing money. She doesn't want to be with you and she's nothing
22 but a slut; and Katie is sitting in the carseat screaming wanting
23 to talk to me or wanting me to hold her. I did nudge my way in
24 because Katie had wanted a kiss good-bye.
J 25 MR. BRUNGARD: Excuse me. I didn't hear what you

2 MS. KARICHNER: I nudged my way in to give Katie a

hug and a kiss good-bye.
4 A. At that time Jane said to me, She is no longer your
5 daughter; she is my daughter. I said, No, she is not. At that
6 time also Katie was still screaming, crying. They were screaming
t 7 and yelling. A lady in the parking lot went into Walmart and

12 here. Let's go. His mom wasn't even in the car before they
13 pulled out of there. The car door was still wide open; and,
14 also, Jane was yelling, Go ahead, twist my wrists, break them;
15 and I wasn't touching the lady at all one bit. She was getting
16 ready to hit me and I did say to her, Go ahead, hit me; but I

18 Jane where she grabbed me by the arm and black and blued my arm.
19 She was screaming to me to leave go of her wrists; but, actually,
20 she was holding onto me. It wasn't me holding onto her. I never
21 once shouted to her or anything like that. I was just trying to
22 hold Katie and then I did nudge my way back in and Katie was
¦ 23 holding me by the neck asking me to hold her while Todd is
24 screaming, All she's going to do is take your money -- and
25 swearing. I did unhook the seatbelt and I was trying to hold

W
49
1 Katie but I never got her out of the car because Todd shouted,
2 Mom, she is going to take Katie and never give her back.
3 THE COURT: Now, tell me this, ma'am.
4 MS. KARICHNER: Yes?
5 THE COURT: Why would you try to take the child out
6 of Mr. Day's car when it was Mr. Day's period of partial
7 custody?
8 MS. KARICHNER: I was just trying to comfort Katie
9 because she was really upset and crying.
10 THE COURT: Well, the next time you do that, if I
11 make a finding that you have done that, it will be the last time
12 you see your child. Do you understand that?
13 MS. KARICHNER: Okay.
14 THE COURT: You're her mother and you get her a
15 certain amount of time. He's her father; he gets her a certain
16 amount of time. That's it. The two of you can't agree. So, I'm
17 the one that decides it --
18 MS. KARICHNER: Okay.
19 THE COURT: -- and when the clock strikes whatever
20 the time is, you're done. You're not her mother anymore. Do you
21 understand that?
22 MS. KARICHNER: Yeah.
23 THE COURT: I don't care if she's bleeding to
24 death, choking to death, or what she's doing. You don't
25 interfere. It's his problem.

50
1 MS. KARICHNER: Okay.
2 BY MS. URBANO:
3 Q. Did the police come?
4 A. Yes, the police came.
5 Q. And did you stay for the police to come?
6 A. Yes, we did stay.
7 Q. And did Todd and his mother stay for the police to
8 come?
9 A. No. Like I said, Todd's mom told him to hurry up
10 and get out of there.
11 Q. And did you stay and talk to the officers?
12 A. Yes, I did.
13 Q. Now, I'm going to show you what I have marked, a
14 stack - -
15 THE COURT: Mr. Brungard, do you have any concern
16 with the facilities?
17 MR. BRUNGARD: The facilities look fine, Your
18 Honor.
19 MS. URBANO: So, you have no interest in --
20 THE COURT: I have no interest.
21 MS. URBANO: Okay.
22 BY MS. URBANO:
23 Q. I'm going to show you what I have marked, four
24 11 pictures, as Plaintiff Exhibit 2 and I'd like you to identify
25 what this is.
Q
J
i
J
51
1 A. (Examining Exhibit) That's the bruise on my arm
2 where Jane grabbed ahold of me.
3 Q. And are they all the same arm?
4 A. Yes, they are the same arm.
5 MS. URBANO: Your Honor, I'd like to introduce the
6 pictures as -- I have got it marked Plaintiff Exhibit 2 --
7 actually, it would be Exhibit 1. So, I'll change that.
8 THE COURT: Four pictures or one picture?
9 MS. URBANO: No. There are five pictures, but it
10 is all of the same arm.
11 THE COURT: All right.
12 BY MS. URBANO:
13 Q. Other than this problem that you had with the
14 grandmother and this new problem that Katie has come with, the
15 abuse, had there been, since February, any problems with Mr. Day
16 following the Court Order?
17 A. Yes, there has been.
18 Q. And what is that problem?
19 A. Mr. Meacham ordered that we be allowed two phone
20 calls per visit. Todd doesn't bother calling Katie at all when I
21 have Katie; and when he has Katie, yes, I do call everyday. It's
22 only because I call and leave a message on the answering machine
23 to have her be there at a certain time and she is never there.
24 Katie has stated to me, Mommy, I hear you on the answering
25 machine but Daddy won't leave me talk to you.

Q. Now, the first week, did he allow you your two
calls the week between March 4th and March 11th?
A. Yeah.
Q. And, then, the week between March 18th and
March 25th, did he allow two calls on that week?
A. No, he didn't. On Monday the 23rd just by luck one
of the kids answered the phone and left me talk to Katie.
Q. And I want you to describe for the Court -- let me
back up here. April -- between April 1st and April 8th, did he
allow you a call?
A. No, I had no phone contact with Katie at all.
Q. And between the 15th and 22nd, did he allow you a
call?
A. I didn't get no contact at his house; but on
Katie's birthday on the 20th, I did get ahold of her at her
grandmother' s.
Q. So, I want you to describe for the Court during
these weeks that you were trying to get your calls, approximately
what day wou ld you try to get your first call during the week?
A. I usually tried to get it on Friday.
Q. Friday after you would have dropped her off
Wednesday?
A. Right.
Q. And how would it go? What would you do?
A. I would leave a message stating it's me calling and
53
1 I'll try back late r or I'll try tomorrow at such and such a time.
2 Q. And, then, would you try the next day at that time?
3 A. Yes, I would.
4 Q. And would she be there?
5 A. No.
6 Q. Woul d you leave another message for the next day?
7 A. Yes, I would.
8 Q. And it would go so on and so on each day she was
9 there?
10 A. Um-hum.
11 Q. So, in effect, you would end up calling every day
12 trying to get your first contact with her?
13 A. Yes.
14 Q. Now, --
15 THE COURT: Excuse me, now. What is the -- this is
16 still a seven day rotating basis; is that right?
17 MS. KARICHNER: Yes.
18 THE COURT: And the change is made on a Wednesday?
19 MS. KARICHNER: Yes.
20 THE COURT: Why is the change made on a Wednesday?
21 I've forgotten.
22 MS. URBANO: You set that, Your Honor.
23 MS. KARICHNER: You ordered it.
24 MR. BRUNGARD: It has to do with his work schedule,
25 11 Your Honor. He works at Hammermill and he's got a swing shift.
54
a 1 THE COURT: He works at Corning.
2 MR. BRUNGARD: Excuse me; Corning, and it's a swing
3 shift and that's when it allows the child on the swing shift
4 to -- Dad's with her.
5 THE COURT: So, Wednesday is a better day than
6 Saturday or Sunday?
A 7 MR. BRUNGARD: Yes.
8 MS. URBANO: Your Honor, for him, apparently, it is
p 9 and that's why he wants it.
10 THE COURT: All right. Well, what time does the
11 child go to bed, Mr. Day?
D 12 MR. DAY: 8:00 or 8:30, between 8:00 and 9:00.

y 17 has the child will have her there at those times.
18 Let's go onto something else.
19 BY MS. URBANO:
20 Q. Had you considered filing contempt for this
21 telephone issue?
22 A. No. That's when I asked you if you could write a
P 23 letter to Mr. Meacham to go and talk with him to try to work
J 24 things out so we wouldn't have to come back to court.
j
Y
25
Q. So, you have tried to work through Mr. Meacham to
55
1 resolve the little difficulties that you've had?
2 A. Yes, I have.
3 Q. And, in fact, didn't Mr. Meacham give -- was there
4 some difficulty in getting in touch with Mr. Meacham?
5 A. Yes, there was.
6 Q. And, eventually, were you able to get a mediation
7 time from Mr. Meacham?
8 A. Yeah, on May 6th at 8:30 in the morning.
9 THE COURT: I missed that. What that's date?
10 MS. KARICHNER: May 6th at 8:30.
11 THE COURT: For what?
12 MS. KARICHNER: To try to work some of the problems
13 out so we wouldn't have to come back to court because, see, Mr.
14 Meacham said if we had any problems to get in contact with him.
15 BY MS. URBANO:
16 Q. Have you been advised by Children and Youth not to
17 allow contact with the father until they complete their
18 investigation?
19 MR. BRUNGARD: Objection; hearsay.
20 THE COURT: I'm sorry. I was talking to Deputy
Lei
syV
21 Barner. I didn't hear the question.
22 MS. URBANO: Do you want me to repeat it?
23 THE COURT: Yes. ,
24 MS. URBANO: I asked her if she has been advised by }
25 Children and Youth not allow contact pending completion of an
4
56
1 investigation.
2 THE COURT: Well, the first question is, Which
3 Children and Youth?
4 MS. URBANO: By Clinton County Children and Youth.
5 THE COURT: You may be treading on --
6 MS. URBANO: Pardon me?
7 THE COURT: You may be treading on ground you don't
8 want to tread. I'm going to sustain the objection.

2 A. I have no objections to that, no.
3 Q. Would you be willing to not have her have any

5 investigation?
6 A. I have no objections to that either.
7 Q. One final question: Would you have concerns about
8 Katie being removed from you pending further investigation?
9 A. Excuse me?
10 Q. Would you be concerned about Katie being removed
11 from you while the investigation is going on, having her away
12 from her mother?
13 A. Yes.
14 MR. BRUNGARD: Judge, I would stipulate that any
15 parent would be concerned with the child being removed from their
16 care.
17 THE COURT: All right. You stipulated. She has
18 answered. Is there anything else?
19 MS. URBANO: I have no further questions.

A 12 because of incidents like this that might arise.
13 Q. Well, I believe you indicated that you wouldn't
14 allow Dave to stay overnight while Katie was around.

19 Q. Before this hearing.
20 A. About him being left alone with her?

6 A. I'm not sure.
7 Q. Is it fair to say more than three?
8 A. No. It's one. It's about -- no, this is the
9 fourth one.

7 Q. So, at least eight different places?
8 THE COURT: A number of different places.
9 What's 3 Albert Lane, Apartment 16, Dillsburg?
10 MS. KARICHNER: When I was staying with my parents,
11 there was an apartment that their landlord had above them. It
12 was just a one bedroom apartment. i was going to take it. I
13 started putting things over into my name but never moved in. My
14 mom and dad and I sat down and discussed it and we talked and we
15 figured I couldn't afford it on my own. So, that was phone
16 service that was supposed to be there and they forwarded -- they
17 disconnected it and they told me there wouldn't be a charge but
18 there was a charge.
19 BY *..',R. BRUNGARD :
20 Q. Now, it's your position with reference to child
JSY,#
21 support that Jeanne Monoski unilaterally discontinued child }
22 support. w
.
23 A. Yes. I have a letter where she wrote it.
24 Q. And it wasn't with your permission?
25 A. No. I just asked a question and she told me how to
61
1 go about it i f I wanted to drop child support, that I had to
2 write the let ter and send it to her; and I have never did.
3 Q. Is it fair to say that y you have taken Mr. Day to

court since you guys separated at least five
5 different occ asions?
'

10 A. I have taken him back several times, yes.
11 Q. Is it safe to say that you weren't there on Monday
12 when Mr. Day had to go to a child support hearing?
13 A. Yes. We talked to Jeanne Monoski prior to this and
14 she told me I just had to send the information to her because I
15 had to take K atie to the doctor.
16 Q. Now, you indicated that Katie is currently in a
17 pre-school program. When did she start in the pre-school
18 program?
19 A. March 30th, when I started to work.
20 Q. And when, if at all, did you ever tell Mr. Day that '
21 she was going into a pre-school program or haven't you yet?
22 A. i told Todd about her being in pre-school.
e.; r
23 Q. When?
24 A. Prior to me going to work. "
25 Q. How many babysitters or day care places has Katie
,.? of
n
I
dl
¦
62
1 been in since and including December of 1997?
2 A. I'm not quite sure. A lot of the time when I take
3 Katie to the day care, she is not comfortable with her day care.
4 I'm not going to leave her in a situation where she is not
5 comfortable, and I'm trying to find the best care that I can to
6 provide for Katie. So, if I have taken her to different day
7 cares, it's only because I'm looking for the best care for Katie
8 where she fits in, where she's more comfortable.
9 Q. Is it safe to say that there have been several?
10 A. I'd say there has been about three or four. Along
11 with that, Todd was supposed to notify me of anybody that was
12 watching Katie, and he notified me as he and his mom; and here to
13 find out from Katie, it's not his mom that's watching her.
14 Q. Well, I thought you want the Court to believe that
15 Gram is the one trying to take over this child.
16 A. I'm not trying to make the Court believe that at
17 all. I'm just saying that she has a big part of it. I mean,
18 Todd and I can talk when his mom's not around. As soon as his
19 mom's around, we can't talk.
20 Q. Is it safe to say that the pick up was 6:15, then
21 6:30, and now 7 o'clock? ,
22 A. Yes, it is, because of work.
23 Q. Is it safe to say that they have all been at your
24 request? x;
y?
25 A. Yes, it is, because of work. I can't get up there

3 Q. Is it safe to say that Mr. Day or Mr. Day's mother
4 or somebody is there to pick up and drop off Katie at the
5 appointed time?
6 A. Not all the time. Sometimes they are late when
7 Katie is with them.
8 Q. Is it safe to say that when you wanted to switch it
9 from 6:30 to 7 o'clock -- and the first switch would have been
10 April 3rd, I believe -- that Mr. Day and his mother were there?
11 THE COURT: Is this helping anybody but you, Mr.
12 Brungard? Because it's not helping me.
13 You may step down, Ma'am.
14 Mr. Wilson, come back up for a minute, please.

18 follows:
19
20 THE COURT: Mr. Wilson, if I were to refer this
21 matter to Mrs. McCloskey to consult with the child in the context

25 continuing abuse investigation and this custody action?
41
t'!
w
a
64
1 MR. WILSON: It is often the case that when we get
2 sex abuse matters that a referral to Pam McCloskey is appropriate
3 because she is our expert in this area.

5 Mr. Brungard, do I understand that the paternal
6 grandparents are willing to have the child live with them --

9 MS. URBANO: Your Honor, I have one question. As
10 far as Bob Meacham goes, I understand he is a psychologist
11 mediator. Is Pam McCloskey taking his place at this point? I'm
12 not familiar with her.
13 THE COURT: Well, to the extent that Mr. Meacham's
14 services are still needed since the Court seems to have resolved
15 several of the issues, that's fine. The Court's position would
16 be that Mr. Meacham's involvement would be limited to whether the
17 child eats Rice Krispies or Cheerios or what time the telephone
18 calls are to be made or things like that.
19 MS. URBANO: Okay.
20 THE COURT: Ms. McCloskey's involvement is purely
21 related to the allegations of child abuse.
22 MS. URBANO: Okay. Thank you.

INVESTIGATOR: Pamela McCloskey, Psychologist Ed
INVESTIGATION REPORT DATE: June 24, 1998
INVESTIGATION SUBJECT: Katie Day
DOB: 04/20/94
Chronological Age: 4 Years, 2 Months
INVESTIGATION REFERRAL:
aaaaaaacaaaaaaaaaaaaaca
Katie Day is a four-year old Caucasian female who was referred
for a sexual abuse investigation by Dennis Wilson of Clinton County
Children and Youth Services. Mr. Wilson received a complaint from
Childline after Katie had been interviewed and examined by a
physician. According to the record review completed, Katie had
been interviewed and/or examined by at least six different
individuals prior to my initial contact with Katie.
On April 22, 1998 Katie had been returned to her mother's home
after her seven days of custody with her father, Todd Day. On
April 23, 1998 Shelly Karichner, Katie's mother, stated that she
overheard Katie say , r, "Did i anybody touch 11 you?el reported
that she then asked Katie, then
reportedly stated, "Yeah, my daddy". Shelly then reportedly asked

interviews at the emergency room. Katie was there from 8:30 P.M.
to 2:00 a.m. According to Shelly, Dr. Frank recommended an
examination for Katie at the Hershey Medical Center.
On April 24, 1998 Katie was taken to the Hershey Medical
Center. Then she was examined by Chris Arnold, a nurse
practitioner, who noted a clef in Katie's vagina at the 3 o'clock
position. According to Ms. Arnold's notes, Katie would not be
easily examined by Dr. Mark Widome. In fact she had to be
restrained in order for the exam to be repeated. Ms. Arnold
indicated that at some time when she was sitting on the floor and
playing with Katie she asked Katie if anyone had touched her
private area, "she replied "yes". Ms. Arnold asked "Who?". She
replied "My Daddy". Ms. Arnold then referred Katie to Dr.
Greenwald at the Polyclinic Medical Center.
On April 27, 1998 Shelly took Katie to Dr. Greenwald's office.
When Katie was interviewed there without the mother being present
about the touching of her private parts, Katie told them about an
incident when "Cody" touched her. When asked if anyone had touched
her and told her to keep it a secret, she said "yes". When asked
who, she said "daddy". When asked further about the secret Katie
stated "keep my bedroom secret" and when asked further about the
secret she stated "I don't remember". Dr. Greenwald's physical
exam of her hymen "demonstrates the healed residua of the

At Dr. Greenwald's office Katie told Amy Murray, Medical
Assistant for the Children's Resource Center, that her "dad chokes
me and pulls my ears". He calls me a "stupid bitch, stupid Katie,
and he yells fuck". Katie reportedly further disclosed to Amy tat

presence.
PAGE THREE
on April 28, 1998 Katie was interviewed by Jill Albright of
Cumberland County Children and Youth Services (Her report is
attached). Katie did not disclose any inappropriate sexual
touching by her father in this interview. Ms. Albright contacted
the Mulberry Day Care Center. The staff there did not confirm the
behavioral changes that Shelly indicated that they would.
Katie was then interviewed for three hours by Trooper Joseph
Cavanaugh, Pennsylvania State Police, on May 1, 1998. Trooper
Cavanaugh indicated that initially Katie would not disclose
anything. After being taken into the hallway by her grandmother,
who reportedly told her to tell the officer what she told her
mother, Katie then disclosed that her daddy had touched her vaginal
area, and she then reportedly offered other details. These details
were sufficient enough to warrant the issuing of a search warrant.
This interview was conducted in the presence of Katie's mother and
maternal grandmother.
Therefore, prior to this set of interviews, Katie had been
interviewed by at least six different individuals and had had three
different physical examinations of her genitalia.
Prior to this allegation, Clinton County Children and Youth
services had received other allegations regarding Katie's care. In
March 1997 a call was made to the agency indicating that Katie had
been exposed to a domestic violence dispute between Todd and
Shelly, that Todd swears at Katie, and that Katie was allowed to
ride her bike on the street. These allegations were investigated
by the Agency, and were confirmed in the investigation. A letter
was sent to Todd Day discouraging this behavior. At that time
there was a court Hearing scheduled regarding custody of Katie and
the Court made a determination regarding Katie's custody. The
Court determined that Mr. Day would have Katie 1-2 days per week
depending on his work schedule.
In June 1997 a call was received that Mr. Day was drinking and
driving with Katie in the car and that Katie was not wearing a seat
belt. The caller also indicated that Katie is allowed to drink
milk when she's not supposed to and she's not wearing her
eyeglasses. This could not be confirmed by the Agency.
A call was received on July 2, 1997 that Mr. Day was not
giving Katie her medication and was not giving her appropriate
medical care. There was also concern about a possible altercation
when Katie was to be exchanged. This was investigated by the
Agency and the Sheriff's Department had been contacted regarding
having a deputy available for the exchange. The lack of medical
care was not confirmed by the Agency.
PAGE FOUR
On July 5, 1997 Lock Haven Hospital's emergency room called
the Agency because Katie told a doctor that her dad put a stick in
her mouth. There were no noticeable marks inside her mouth.
On July 6, 1997 the Agency received a call that Katie's mother
noted that Katie had a bruise on her spine and that she had surface
blood marks on her neck. This call was received at 11:30 p.m. The
State Police reported that they were going to see Katie that night
and the caseworker scheduled to see her at 9:00 a.m. The State
Police Officer also stated "that Shelly Karichner has been phoning
constantly reporting custody issues about Katie's father." When
Katie was interviewed privately by the caseworker she indicated
that the stick was candy and there were no suspicious marks on her
body.
In October 1997 another call was placed regarding alleged
physical abuse by Mr. Day. This was unfounded.
In December 1997 a psychological evaluation was completed
regarding custody. Shelly Karichner and Todd Day agreed to a
seven-day rotating visitation and they agreed to the use of Betty
Henry for a babysitter for Katie when in Shelly's custody and to
the paternal grandparents when in Todd's custody. A Court Hearing
was held in February 1998 ordering this visitation schedule and Ms.
Day was to provide all transportation.
In March 1998 a caseworker from DPA in Cumberland Co. called
stating that Shelly told this individual that her daughter had been
physically abused by her father but that "she had been advised by
this Agency not to make any such referrals here". The caseworker
corrected this information and indicated that each allegation had
been investigated, that a Court Hearing regarding custody had just
been held two weeks ago and Shelly's concerns were apparently not
presented then, and that all suspicious bruising or statements
should be reported to the Agency and that they would be
investigated.
In April 1998 the Agency received this sexual abuse
allegation. This, therefore, is not the first allegation that has
been made between Shelly and Todd and the issue of custody
continues to be an unresolved matter. Katie has been exposed to
this custody dispute, the domestic violence, the tension between
her theseavarious allegations fornatrle st the past fifteen months.
PAGE FIVE
INVESTIGATION ENVIRONMENT:
aaaamamamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Katie Day participated in an investigation at the Clinton
County Children and Youth Services' Offices in an office room. The
investigation environment was objective, avoiding tendencies toward
coercion or bribery. Interviewing techniques implemented by this
investigation included attempted adherence to the standard protocol
used by the Clinton County Children and Youth Social Service
Agency. Specific techniques included art work, interviewing, the
use of anatomically correct drawings and the use of Hewitt 's
Developmental Touch Continuum. A variety of modalities were
implemented in order to corroborate information and to allow Katie
to have a variety of expression modalities. In efforts to avoid
contamination or subjective influence, different techniques were
implemented in order to provide the investigation subject with an
opportunity to provide consistent and accurate information.
The interview process occurred only with this interviewer
present. There were three separate interviews completed with each
interview lasting approximately one hour each. Katie was
transported to the first and third interviews by her biological
father, Todd Day, and his parents, Arlen and Jane Day. Katie was
transported to the second interview by her biological mother,
Shelly Karichner. None of the adults who transported Katie entered
the interview room with her. Katie's father was interviewed after
the initial contact and completed the Child Behavioral Inventory.
Ms. Karichner also completed the Child Behavioral Inventory and was
interviewed by phone on three separate occasions.
Katie easily separated from her father and grandparents for
the first and third interviews. She had difficulty separating from
mother her porting Katie mother the long crying for the ointervi
about tan ew.
Katie attempted to comfort her and reassure her that everything
would be all right.
Once Katie was in the interview room for all three interviews
she was easily engaged in activities and was generally responsive
to questions. Katie actively participated in the investigation
process. By the time the interviews were completed, Katie appeared
comfortable much more indicated participate inactivities andexercis s pres nted to willingness to
There were occasions during the interviews when Katie
demonstrated extreme emotion. When Katie related an incident in
which Cody pulled her pants down when they were on a trampoline and

do that". In terms of this inappropriate touching Katie related
where it happened (on the trampoline in her dad's yard), who Cody
was (a child about her size), what happened (he pulled her pants
down and touched her hiney with his hand) and what happened next
(she told Cody's mom and Cody's mom got real mad at Cody and put
him in time-out). This incident was later confirmed by a neighbor
of Todd Day.
When questions were presented about other touching of her
genitalia, that is, what Katie referred to as her "bad place" Katie
would leave the table area, crawl under a chair, went to the window
and/or would begin to ask where her parent was. Katie demonstrated
this avoidance behavior during the first two interviews. During
these two interviews Katie did state that daddy touches her bad
place. She did not offer any other information nor any other
details regarding the touching in terms of where it happens, how it
feels, where other individuals were or what happened afterwards.
In the interviews Katie also stated that mommy touches her bad
places and she also named her two female cousins. She did not
offer any other details regarding this touching either. On the
third interview Katie stated that no one has ever touched her bad
places; she stated she was only joking.
When Katie was asked about secrets she indicated that she did
have a secret. The secret was that mom and Dave were going to get
married. She denied any other secrets, good or bad.
During the second interview Katie began to talk about seeing
her father, Todd, choke Shelly and that Todd was cut with a knife.
She reported that it happened in a kitchen. When this was discussed
with Shelly, she indicated that she had recently related this
incident to Dave while Katie was there. She didn't realize Katie
was listening. Shelly also stated that this incident occurred when
Katie was a year old. The probability of her remembering this from
witnessing it at the age of one year is very small. Katie,
however, had insisted that she witnessed this incident.
Three adults (Mr. Day, Mrs. Jane Day, and Shelly Karichner)
were interviewed regarding Katie's behaviors. All three adults
indicated that Katie's behavior began to change around February.
Ms. Karichner stated that Katie has exhibited behavior problems

they have not noticed Katie masturbating until very recently.
PAGE SEVEN
Shelly also indicated that Katie is easily confused and that
she tends to exaggerate events or statements. Shelly also
indicated that Katie has trouble falling asleep and staying asleep.
Ms. Karichner stated in my last phone interview with her that Katie
has been waking during the night saying, "Don't touch me." She
also stated that Katie has been vomiting when at her home. Shelly
also stated that Katie has been saying that "daddy is a good daddy
now."
Todd Day and Jane Day deny that Katie has these sleeping
difficulties at their home and they deny that she vomits at their
home. They agree that Katie is very active and has shown an
increase in her noncompliance and defiance.
There were two major events occurring in Katie's life around
February. She was reportedly introduced to Dave Noreika, Shelly's
current boyfriend, and the new custody arrangement became
effective.
INVESTIGATION SUMMARY:
aavacaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
In summary there are numerous factors which made it difficult
to complete a valid interview. As indicated previously Katie had
already been interviewed by at least six different individuals;
some of these interviews were conducted in her mother's presence,
some were not. Information regarding the protocols used and how
the identity of the alleged perpetrator was determined was not
available. Katie had already had three physical examinations of
her genitalia prior to this investigation as well.
During the past fifteen months Katie has also been exposed to
scenes of domestic violence, interviews regarding other abuse
allegations, hearing her mother discuss past abusive altercations
between her mother and father, a physical move to a new home and
area and introduced to mother's boyfriend, a change in her custody
arrangement, an introduction to her father's girlfriend and her two
sons and very recently the new baby belonging to Mr. Day and his
girlfriend, and Mr. Day's girlfriend leaving the home and
relocating to another home. These are numerous changes for a four-
year old and are contributing to her stress and confusion.
The physical evidence regarding the sexual abuse is very
strong and indicates that the probability that Katie has been
sexually abused is very likely. What has been more difficult to
definitively ascertain is the identity of the perpetrator. While
Katie has indicated her father, Todd, she has also stated "no one",
"my mom", "Ashley", "Megan". The naming of different perpetrators
does occur when the child has been victimized for various reasons.
It may be due to the need to please the interviewer by offering
PAGE EIGHT
names which the child believes the interviewer wants to hear but it
may also be due to the psychological mechanism of suppression.
Suppression occurs when the child does not feel safe enough to
offer the name of the perpetrator due to fear and/or
traumatization.
Due to all of these factors, this examiner is unable to name
a definitive perpetrator with the degree of confidence needed. The
following recommendations are therefore offered:
1) Katie should become involved in nondirective play therapy
which will provide her a safe environment in which she can express
her feelings in a variety of modalities regarding these stressful
events and perhaps in this setting, with some time coupled with
enhanced feelings of safety and security she may disclose her
sexual offender.
2) The adults involved have been scheduled for polygraphs and
the Pennsylvania State Police are continuing to gather evidence
regarding this case. If they make a final determination and charge
the perpetrator then a plan to ensure Katie's safety which would
involve her not having contact with the sexual offender regardless
of whom it may be should be implemented immediately. At this time,
Trooper Cavanaugh believes that the evidence gathered thus far
indicates that Todd Day is the perpetrator. This is a definite
possibility since the child has named him in more than one
interview and, according to Trooper Cavanaugh, has offered him
significant details regarding the inappropriate sexual touching.
3) In the interim the safety plan currently in place by order
of Judge J. Michael Williamson should continue.
4) Comprehensive psychological evaluations of the adults
involved should be completed. These evaluations should include not
only interviews but personality testing as well.
5) The examinations and interviews of Katie need to be
limited. In the past four weeks Katie has received prescriptions
for Prevacid 15 mg. and Lactulose 10 gm. from Dr. Attila Devenaja
and for Propulsid 1 mg. from Dr. C. Bulin. These examinations and
medical appointments were in addition to the evaluations and
examinations for the sexual abuse. It is imperative that Shelly
Karichner and Todd Day select one primary care physician who can
appropriately address Katie's medical needs and who can maintain a
consistent, comprehensive medical history of Katie.
In order to complete recommendations number one and four, Mr.
Day and Ms. Karichner were asked to submit the name(s) of

Re: Kariehner v. Day
Dear Ms. Miller,
This is in response to your telephone call yesterday. I understand that Randy Brurgard has
requested that the Judge snake his last Court Order more specific. Mr. Brungard had notified me
that Mr. Day would be taking Katie on the following dates:
(1) Thursday, October l" through Monday, October 5";
(2) Thursday, October 29" through Monday, November 2nd;
(3) Thursday, November 26" through Monday, November 30"; and
(4) Thursday, December 20 through Monday, December 28°.
I responded with the attached letter. In the past Mr. Day worked a Friday shift from
12 a.m. until 8 a.m. prior to his long weekend, would sleep on Friday during the day and would
begin his weekend long visitation on Friday evening. I assumed that his schedule was the same as
it always was and told Mr. Brungard that I thought he had made an error on the dates, Mr.
Brangard called and left me a message that I think meant that Mr. Day was not going to be
working Friday, October 21. I called back and said that if that was the case then Mts. Karichner
would deliver Katie on Thursday. We never did get to talk so I don't know if his schedule has
been altered and if so if it has been altered permanently. If Mr. Day's schedule has not changed,
then the schedule in my letter should be correct. If it has permanently changed, I was going to let
him know that Thursday, October I" is the night set for trick or treating in Mts. Karichner's
neighborhood and that Katie would like to participate. Lock Haven trick or treating is on that
Saturday. November 26" is Thanksgiving. Mr. Day has had Katie for the past two Thanksgiving
dinners. Shelley would like to bring Katie up later if it would be alright with Mrs. Day so that they
could have Thanksgiving dinner together. if Mrs. Day does not agree, they'll just have to miss
Thanksgiving dinner. The current Court Order was very specific on the Christmas visit. I just
extended it because it fell on Mr, Day's long weekend.
I believe that the Judge was clear in his prior Order as to the starting time of the visits, l
think that the confusion is that Mr. Day's schedule may have changed without our knowing about
it.
I would think that Mr. Brungard and I should be able to sort this all out ourselves. however

I received your letter dated September 16, 1998. 1 believe the dates for Todd Day's long
weekends are incorrect. In the past, when Todd's partial custody schedule coincided with his
work schedule, he began his visits on Friday evening. r understand that there were a few times
that the grandparents requested extra time and Shelley agreed to adding Thursday. However, the
December 23, 1997 Court order clearly states that 1 odd's partial custody on hrs long weekends
shall begin at 6:15 p.m. on the father's last day of work. Todd's last day of work is Friday. The
time was later changed to 7:00. Thus, Todd receives Friday, beginning at 7:00 p.m. until Monday
at 7:00 pm. Furthermore, the currant Order spoeifies that his time over Christmas is from
December 25, at 4:00 p.m. until December 27, at 4:00 p.m. Since this falls on Mr. Day's long
weekend, Ws time should be extended to December 28, at 'r:00 p.m..
Thus, Todd's partial custody schedule would be as follows:
(1) Friday, October 2nd (7:00 p.m. ) through Monday, October 50'; (7:00 p.m.)
(2) Friday, October 306i ( 7:00 p m.) through Monday, Novombcr 21(7;00 p,m.)
(3) Friday, November 27* (7:00 p.m.) through Monday, November 2" (7:00 p m.)
(4) krtday, December 25* (4:00 p.m.) through Monday, December 28' (7:00 p.m,)
Shelley may be able to arrange the transfer time for between 5:30 and 6:00 p.m. instead of
7:00 p.m. if Mrs. Day would prefer an earlier exchange time. Either you can lot me know or Mrs.
Day can discuss that with Shelley. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,

As per your request I am writing in regard to my treatment of Katie Day in outpatient
psychotherapy. Katie was originally referred to me by her Nurse Practitioner at PSGHS, Chris
Arnold. Upon referral, Ms. Arnold reported that physical exam suggested that Katie had been
sexually abused and that at the time of referral Katie was exhibiting acting out behavior at home.
When 1 saw Katie and her mother, it was reported that Katie was defiant, demanding, irritable,
distractible, and aggressive (biting). Behavior modification was initially performed in order to
assist Ms. Karichner in controlling the acting out. Due to scheduling difficulties, Ms. Karichner
and Katie were not seen between December and February. A psychiatric exam and individual
therapy again were sought at that time. What was evident at the time was that Katie's behavior
had improved markedly since the Fall. Coincidentally, visits with Katie's father, Todd Day, had
ceased.
Since March I have seen Katie very consistently. Appointments have been attended regularly for
the most part on a weekly basis. Recently, in response to the court request, I asked Katie
whether she wanted to visit with her father. At that time she responded, "No" because as she put
it "he hafted me." When asked how her father hurt her, Katie stated that he put "a stick in here"
(pointing to her vagina). I asked her to draw a picture and she drew herself on her back. She
drew the "stick" and described it as "yellow" with "black cobwebs" and "white pee." She also
reported that "it hurt like enemas." She has had to use enemas for medical reasons, but given this
association, they have been discontinued. Following the session in which I discussed her father,
Katie was according to her mother, very angry and oppositional at home. Katie questioned me
and her mother about whether she would have to go see her father.
As for the question of abuse, l believe that the evidence strongly implicates Katie's father as a
perpetrator. Katie described the abuse in language consistent with her developmental stage and
did not appear to have been coached in any way. This coupled with the physical evidence and
her clear distress when confronted with returning to her father's custody makes a strong
argument against granting visitation. Play therapy and family interventions will be continuing on
a weekly basis. WRAP services are also being sought to enhance Ms. Karicltner's skill in
managing behavioral acting out.

THE COURT: All right, there are
two matters here, Shelley Marie Karichner versus Todd
William Day to No. 763-97, that is a custody matter,
and Shelley Marie Karichner versus Todd William Day to
330-97, which is a Protection From Abuse matter.
The Court had scheduled a hearing for
December 18th, the Court will assume that the mother
did not receive notice of that hearing. The purpose of
that hearing was to consider the father's Petition for
Modification based on the allegations set forth in that
Petition.
The Court entered an Interim Order on
December 18th in order to get mother's attention and
the Court notes that the mother is present today,
represented by Susquehanna Legal Services, I guess, is
that right?
MS. URBANO: Yes.
THE COURT: Mr. Petrosky originally
represented her on the PFA, I'm not sure if that's --
is he not representing her on anything any more?
MS. URBANO: That's my understanding,
I Your Honor.
THE COURT: All right, Mr. Brungard.
MR. BRUNGARD: I'd call Todd Day to the
stand, please.

25 didn't get notice of this hearing until this Saturday
e
16
1 and I was asked to represent her --
2 THE COURT: Well, now, I don't think
3 that's true. I believe Mr. Angelelli told her about

5 right, Mr. Angelelli?
6 MR. ANGELELLI: I think it was last
7 Thursday.
8 MS. URBANO: Well, I don't think it was

10 THE COURT: Somebody talked to her the
11 day the hearing was scheduled. Well, what is your --

13 last night.
14 THE COURT: Well, we'll continue this
15 case and keep the child here until you're ready, do you
16 want to do that?
17 MS. URBANO: That's what my question
18 was. If that's what you want to do, my only choice is
19 to proceed, but I would like you to consider -- I mean
20 I can cross examine, I can put on my client; of course,
21 i only met her an hour ago.
22 I can do my best to give you an idea
23 what the case is about. I would like to ask at that
24 time -- if there is not enough information, I would
25 like to ask for a continuance at least to present

4 dated. Do you recognize that Order?
5 A. Yes, I do.
6 MR. BRUNGARD: Your Honor, just for the
7 record, I'm going to object to the term Order. It was
8 a proposed agreement between the parties that never got

10 THE COURT: All right.
11 MS. URBANO: That was my next
12 question.
13 BY MS. URBANO:

20 Q. -- that you two had agreed to?
21 A. Not by times, no.
22 Q. Did you change it slightly to make the hours

Did you have that vacation week pursuant to
this agreement? Did you have her in August -- in
October of this year?
A. Yeah.
Q. Pursuant to this agreement. So except for
this time change of two hours in time, from 9 to 7,
this has basically been what the two of you have been
following since August even though it was never
actually signed, is that correct?
A. Sort of.
MS. URBANO: I'd like to have this
proposed order marked as --
MR. BRUNGARD: I don't know what the
purpose of the order is because they haven't been
following it.
MS. URBANO: Well, according his
testimony, they have been following it. It would just
give the Judge an idea of what they have been doing as
far as --
THE COURT: I have to do a wedding at
11:00. If you two want to just sit here and talk and
she can write down everything you say and I will read
it later on. Do you want to talk to me? What do you

15 into when she was living here, right, or at least
16 proposed?

18 leaving of the halfway meeting places, it was never
19 signed, her Lawyer, Fred Lingle --

12 A. He has been seeing her on his normal days to
13 see her, on his days off. I mean I can't help it if
14 I'm running late a few times because of traffic, but I
15 get her there and if I can't get her there, somebody in
16 my family will get her there.
17 THE COURT: Is the place in
18 Selingsgrove a logical place?
19 A. Yeah, in the Wal-Mart parking lot. The only
20 reason why I said about him coming down to pick her up
21 this time was because when I talked to Jim Cayer, he
22 told me that we're supposed to follow what the PFA says
23 and in the PFA you ordered that he provide all
2411 transportation.

THE COURT: Are you talking about the

2 A. Yes, but that's where we've been meeting and
3 that's been fine with me.
4 THE COURT: Ms. Urbano.
5 BY MS. URBANO:
6 Q. In his Petition, Mr. Day says that you didn't
7 allow the father to have visitation for the first three
8 weeks in August, is that true?
9 A. No, that's not true.
10 Q. Do you keep a diary of all of the times that
it he has visitation?
12 A. Yes, I do.
13 Q. Now, he's also trying to say today that you
14 have been living with different men since you have been
15 down in the Dillsburg/Mount Holly Springs area. Have
16 you lived with anyone other than your brother, any
17 other man other than your brother or your parents?
18 A. Just my parents and brother, nobody else.
19 Q. Have you had a problem recently with Katie to
20 the point of having to sign her up for some counseling?
21 A. Yes, I have.
22 Q. And what is the problem --
23 THE COURT: And who suggested you do
24 that?
25 A. People from -- the Social Service Workers
e
a
D
ti
27
1 from the Salvation Army and a minister at church,
2 people at church, because when you're driving by
3 cemeteries, Katie says, don't you remember mommy, we
4 buried you there, daddy said so, you're dead or you're
5 leaving me and you're never coming back.
6 I mean this shouldn't be coming out of a
7 three year old's mouth. I confronted Todd and Todd's
8 mom about this, they are telling me that I'm making it
9 up, that I'm lying.
10 BY MS. URBANO:
11 Q. Has she actually been taken in yet or are you
12 still on a waiting list?
13 A. I took her in for an intake and they are
14 going to get back to me.
15 Q. So has her counseling even started?
16 A. Not yet, no.
17 Q. Has she had a problem starting this fall with
18 separating from you?
19 A. Yes, she has. She doesn't want to leave me.
20 Q. Has that -- was that a problem before?
21 A. No, I mean before you could leave and she
22 would be okay, but it's to the point where you can't
23 leave her now.
24 Q. Despite this problem, you're still willing to
25 go along with the agreement that you and Todd made back
fI
F9
a
w
28
1 in July that was never signed, is that correct?
2 A. Yes, I am. I mean she needs her father -- to
3 see her father, too, and there was no problems up until
4 just recently where I'm getting accused of doing all of
5 this stuff that's not true.
6 I did give Todd my address when I moved into
7 my apartment in October, I gave it to his mom when she
8 picked her up; it wasn't in November, that's what he's
9 saying, it was October.
10 Q. He also says in the Petition that you moved
11 one week after July 29th without notice to him. Was
12 notice provided by letter?
13 A. Yes, it was, it was supposed to be under my
14 best knowledge, yes. There was supposed to be a letter
15 sent to him.
16 Q. And who wrote that letter?
17 A. Fred Lingle.
18 Q. Did you ever see a copy of that letter?
19 A. Yeah, I had a copy and I have no idea where
20 it got to.
21 Q. Mr. Lingle has a copy of that letter?
22 A. Yes. And it was also suppose to state in
23 that letter that the proposed Order was supposed to be
24 signed and sent down to my parents' address, which it
25 never had.

Q. Have you -- as far as having a job, have you
been employed since you have been down in the Dillsburg
area?
A. Yeah, I worked at two other places besides
the Weis store where I'm at now.
Q. Have you improved -- did you try to improve
your employment to get better money?
A. Yes, I did.
Q. Okay. And this allegation about living with
all these different men, besides him, you did say that
you had lived with two different people when you were
up here, but since you have gone down to your parents,
you have not?
A. No, I have not.
Q. Now, the baby-sitter's name that you gave to
the Judge, is that a recent baby-sitter?
A. Yes, it is.
Q. And since the child has been up here since
December 15th, she hasn't had a lot of contact with
that baby-sitter yet?
A. No.
Q. Do you attend church with the child?
A. Yes, I do.
Q. And so she has a regular schedule with you of
church attendance?

¦

1 A. Yes, she does.
2 Q. And does she attend church with Todd to the
3 best of your knowledge?
4 A. Not that I'm aware of.
5 Q. Other than this separation anxiety that she's
6 just had recently, has Katie been happy?
7 A. Yeah, except for the times that -- there's
8 been other times when she doesn't want to go because
9 there is problems up there with, I guess, his
10 girlfriend's kid, but other than that --
11 Q. But basically she's been happy?
12 A. Yes.
13 Q. And you indicated already that you have been
14 the one that has taken care of her since birth?
15 A. Yes.
16 MS. URBANO: I have no further
17 questions.
18 THE COURT: All right, we'll take about
19 a ten minute break. You can step down, ma'am. If the
20 two of you or the four of you want to get together with
21 Mr. Angelelli and straighten out this while I'm gone...

7 Q. You said that Todd understands about why you
8 had to live some place before you got an apartment.
a 9 Could you explain to the Judge what that is about?
10 A. In Cumberland County, housing helps you get
11 an apartment, but you must be in the area for seven
Q 12 days and that is how we got our first apartment in
13 Mount Holly and that is how i got this apartment in
14 Mount Holly, one that I could afford. We all -- like I
15 said, Todd, Katie and I had stayed at the Harvon,
16 H-a-r-v-o-n, but the Salvation puts you up for seven
17 days.
18 Q. All right. You are saying that you did tell
19 this Mr. Zerby that you were living in a van, but that
J 20 was -- that's not true?
21 A. That's not true. The only time that we were
22 in a van is when my brother picked us up, and that was
23 on August 8th, and then we had the family picnic on the
24 9th; we stayed in the van on the 8th.

16 calls and trying to make the arrangements as far as
17 picking up and dropping off the child?
18 A. Yes, because Shelley made the statement that
19 Todd should be in jail and she will not be happy until
20 he gets in jail, so we were advised for us to
21 communicate instead of Todd because this is possible,
22 that that's what she could do.
23 Q. And what happened that Shelley left the area
24 abruptly back in August of this year?
25 A. Well, this has been a bad thing, it's been
1
a
47
1 through Court that he gets Katie at a special time and
2 take her back at a special time.
3 Well, I have always been the one, me and her
4 dad or my husband, have picked Katie up and took her
5 back, there has always been two, but it's always at
6 Shelley's discretion.
7 I mean one week it's fine, maybe a month it's
8 fine, the next thing it's changed, so this particular
9 time she called -- they just lived a block away from us
30 -- she called and she said, I am informing you now
11 lady that when you bring Katie back, she said, you go
12 up to my door and knock on my door.
13 Q. This is when Katie and Shelley were still
14 living in Castanea?
15 A. Yes. So I said, Shelley, we've always met
16 you, you brought her to the car and you've come out to
17 the car to pick her up and that's worked fine. Now,
18 why do I have to bring her to the door, that's Bill's
19 house, I don't feel I should have to come to Bill's
20 door. She said, because I say so, okay.
21 So that night -- it was like 9:00 and 9:00,
22 we picked her up at 9:00 and take her back at 9:00, so
23 I took her out to Bill's at 9:00, knocked on the door
24 and this lady came -- Shelley came to the door and she
25 carried on like unbelievable, calling me a "F-ing" S.O.
1
D
D
D
Y
48
1 -- get the hell off of this property, you have no
2 right on this property. I said, I'm only here because
3 this is what you made me do.
4 Q. And that led to the --
5 A. She carried on furiously. There were these
6 three little kids, Katie screaming bloody murder, I was
7 trying to get off the property, unbelievable the
e language. Finally, Bill came out to the edge of the
9 road when I was leaving and took a hold of her and took
10 her in the house.
11 I went back, I was so worked up, I said to my
12 husband, I can't stand this any longer, I can't stand
13 every time we pick her up we have to go through this,
14 so we went up to the Police Barracks and they said
15 there wasn't anybody there, but they had one over in
16 Castanea, they would come over.
17 So he came over and we explained the
18 situation. He said, what do you want to do. I asked
19 him what my things were? We've been through -- excuse
20 my language -- living hell with just picking up and
21 delivering Katie ever since this has gone on.
22 She's been to the cops -- in July, going back
23 to July, the State Police called me one night at
24 quarter of twelve apologizing, but I had taken Katie
25 back that particular night and she started carrying on

about -- something about Todd and I hung up on her.
She called the State Police and wanted me
arrested for harassment on the telephone that night. I
only called her to tell her I was bringing Katie out
and she starts in, I mean this is routine.
So getting back to August 8th, the State
Police come down and I filed a thing to have her
arrested for disorderly conduct and that's when they --
he said I will go out and tell her right now when I
leave your house, so he did and that's when she left
Castanea.
She called her brother, Steve, I understand
to come up about -- this was 9:00 at night because at
9:00 I always made sure that she was there by 9:00 and
that's when she left Lock Haven -- Castanea and has
been gone ever since.
Q. Did you know she was going to leave prior to
that night?
A. No, she had just said her dad was ill and she
was going down for a couple of days. I mean even at
that day, we took her back a day early because the next
day they were having a family picnic at Knoebles
Grove. It was always -- we've always bowed down to
whatever Shelley says, it's always been this way as far
as picking up Katie and doing for Katie, whatever.

MR. BRUNGARD: Nothing further.
THE COURT: Mrs. Day, where does Katie
stay when she is here in Clinton County, with you or
with your son?
A. With Todd. Oh, yeah, they come over to my
house, Judge, and she won't even leave him go outside
unless she goes outside, I'm going with my daddy.
But now like if he has to go to work, i
baby-sit, you know, I baby-sit if -- on occasion that
she's been up here and he's worked, she stayed at our
house.
THE COURT: Do you baby-sit for Mrs.
Krepps' children, too?
A. No, no, I never baby-sat those children.
THE COURT: Who takes care of those
children?
A. They go to day care, Kids Whiz out here on
the corner, I guess that's what they call it, Kids
Whiz. But we've always been the communicator like
going down to Selingsgrove. And she said she hasn't
lived with other men, well, there has been a Dallas
that --
THE COURT: Ma'am, just answer the
questions.
A. Okay, sorry.

BY MR. BRUNGARD:
Q. Have you or husband or both of you been the
ones that have been going back and forth when Todd has
been picking up the child at Selingsgrove?
A. Yes, it's mostly me.
Q. Do you have any idea what prompted Shelley to
out of the blue go to an Attorney that supposedly told
her Mr. Day had to go down there and pick up the child?
A. I think because he went over about his
support and I am assuming she got mad about that and
called and said he would have to come down to Mount
Holly Springs. From now on, he comes to Mount Holly
Springs, not Selingsgrove.
Q. When you pick up the child now, do you go
down to --
A. I didn't go last week.
Q. But Todd --
A. Todd got the message he had to and I was up
at Charlie's at that time, so my husband called me up
at Charlie's and told me what the message was.
Q. So Todd made arrangements to go --
A. Yeah.
Q. Just listen to my question. The pick up last
week was because Shelley said so, he had to go all the
way down to where she lived?
1
a

19 daughter mistreated Katie in any way?
20 A. None that I would say was mistreating.
21 Q. Does Katie have a medical problem?
22 A. Something about her stomach that she's had a
23 couple operations on and it does interfere with her
24 eating I understand.
25 Q. Is it a reflux problem she's had that she's
!i
t^1
N
V
J
56

3 larger than what she is growing and it had to be rolled
4 back and then it will -- as she grows older, it will
5 unroll, but she's been in just once or twice, I don't
6 remember, I know once for sure and, of course, at that
7 time Shelley and Todd were together when that was done.
8 Q. And so your daughter had to take care of
9 medical problems with Katie for a number of years,
10 isn't that correct?

PI NNACLEHEALTH
Monday, April 27, 1998
I evaluated Katie, age 4, because of concerns about the possibility of sexual abuse. The purpose of
my examination was to diagnose and treat residua of sexual abuse. Katie was accompanied by her
mother, Shelley Kauchner.
Past Medical History:
Past medical history was reviewed with Katie and mom, and it is as follows:
Katie was hospitalized as an infant because of reflux disease. She underwent surgery at that time with
substantial resolution of symptoms. Other than this, she has experienced no serious illnesses or other
surgeries. She has no chronic illnesses or physical handicaps. She has experienced no genital or anal
injuries, operations, procedures or infections. She has no history of intestinal infections. Katie has
always cWicnced constipation and were has been no change in this problem recently. She has had
no psychological evaluations.
Since concerns about sexual abuse have arisen, mom relates that Katie, on return from visitation with
dad, complains of pain with urination. Since Febnu uy, these visitations have been occurring with dad
every otter week Because of these complaints, mom took Katie to Carlisle Hospital last Thursday.
Urinalysis was normal. On Friday, mom took Katie to Hershey Medical Center where urinalysis was
noted to be normal, and examination revealed concerns about a cleft in her hymen.
Also, recently mom has noted that it "takes forever to get Katie to bed and keep her there". Mom
notes that Katie frequently awakens, and mom finds her, on occasion, completely undressed when
she awakens in the middle of the night.
Page 2
Mom describes sexual acting out by Katie by talking about an observation while Katie was seen at
Hershey Medical Center last Friday. Katie stuck what sounds like a culture tube into a rubber glove
and mom saw her rubbing her vulva with this object. Mom also notes that Katie experiences more
frequent and severe anger including throwing things, biting and hitting.
Medical History Obtained from Katie:
Prior to proceeding with examination, Teresa M. Smith, Pediatric Social Worker for the Children's
Resource Center, and 1 interviewed Katie alone.
We asked if she knew why she was here today, and she said "to say the words daddy said".
Using anatomic dolls, Katie named hair, eyes, nose, mouth, fingers, boobies (her name for breasts),
belly button, "bad place" (her name for urethral/vaginal area and for penis), and butt (her name for
buttocks).
We defined private pans as the areas of her body covered by a swimming suit when she goes
swimming. We asked if she understood, and she nodded "yes". We asked her who was allowed to
touch her private parts, and she said "me, mommy". We asked whether daddy was allowed to touch
her private pans, and she said "no, daddy hurts".
We asked whether, if mom hugged her, it would be a good touch or a bad touch, and she said
"good". We asked whether, if mom kissed her on the cheek, it would be a good touch or a bad
touch, and she said "good". We asked whether, if somebody pinched her, it would be a good touch
or a bad touch, and she said "bad". We asked whether, if anybody touched her private parts, it would
be a good touch or a bad touch, and she said "bad". We asked whether anybody had touched her on
her private pans, and she said "Cody". We asked who Cody was, and she said "he touched me on
the trampoline. He pulled down my pants and touched my private parts." We asked whether Cody
had touched any other part of her body, and she said "my butt". We asked whether Cody had
touched her in any other way, and she said "he pulled my pants down and touched my private parts".
We asked whether anybody else had touched her private parts, and she said "no".
We asked whether anybody had touched her and told her to keep it a secret, and she said "yes". We
asked who, and she said "daddy". We asked what daddy told her to keep a secret, and she said
"can't tell". We told her that it was okay for her to tell about secret touching that hurt her, and again
asked her what daddy had told her to keep a secret. She said "keep my bedroom secret". We asked
what the bedroom secret was, and she said "I don't remember".
Physical Examination:
I explained the purpose of the examination to Katie and mom and invited mom to prepare her for the
examination.
Page 3
Katie was cooperative for the examination and was accompanied by her mom throughout. She is
well-developed and well-nourished. Her height is 41 in, and her weight is 46 lb.
Skin examination was normal.
HEENT examination revealed a %: cm, tender hematoma above and anterior to her right pinna. This
was from a recent fall.
Lungs were clear to auscultation.
Heart examination; RSR, no murmurs heard.
Breasts were Tanner 1. Breast examination revealed no abnormalities.
Abdominal examination revealed no tenderness, organomegaly, or masses.
Node examination revealed no adenopathy.
Genital examination was completed in the supine frog leg position with the use of gross, macroscopic
and colposcopic visualization at magnifications varying from 5X to 30X with white and green light.
Examination of her fossa navicularis, labia majora and minora reveal no discharge. Her hymen was
of an annular configuration; there was a cleft at the 12 o'clock position. The posterior rim of her
hymen was narrow, and the aperture in the hymen was unusually large for a person of her age and
physical stature. Lateral vaginal columns were noted, ending at the hymen in shallow concavities.
Hymenal vasculature was uniform in appearance. Her fourchette and perineum were normal.
Examination of her external anal verge revealed a symmetric rugal pattern, normal response to
traction, and normal sphincter tone.
I obtained oral, vaginal and rectal cultures for gonorrhea and chlamydia.
These findings were documented on videotape and with digital imaging, from which photographs can
be produced.
Additional Information Reviewed after Evaluation or Katie:
After the examination, Amy Murray, Medical Assistant for the Children's Resource Center, who
obtained the pediatric health history, stated that Katie said to her "Dad chokes me and pulls my ears."
"He calls me a'stupid bitch, stupid Katie', and he yells fuck " Katie further disclosed to Amy that
her dad hits her in the face and puts his finger in her (pointing to her vagina).
Impression:
Katie discloses verbal abuse by dad in the form of obscenities and demeaning names directed at Katie
by her dad. In addition, Katie describes physical abuse in the form of being struck in the face by dad.
Finally, Katie disclosed to Amy dad's introduction of his finger into her vagina. Examination of her
hymen demonstrates the healed residua of the introduction of a foreign body through the hymenal
Page 4
orifice and into her vagina, as evidenced by a cleft at the 12 o'clock position, which is a healed
laceration, involving the edge of her hymen. The transverse diameter of her hymenal orifice was large
for her age and suggests stretching of her hymen by introduction of a foreign body into her vagina.
Skin examination reveals no residua of Katie's disclosure of having been struck in the face by her
father. There are no residua of this contact, nor would there be anticipated to be residua considering
the time interval between the activity and this child's examination. Accordingly, lack of residua does
not preclude the slapping event described in Katie's disclosure to Amy Murray.
According to morn Katie discloses burning with urination. Urine examination is normal, indicating
that the burning with urination is not attributable to a urinary tract infection. In the absence of pre-
existing urinary problems such as urinary tract infection, this discomfort is specific to trauma to the
periurethral area and it is consistent with injuries associated with digital trauma to the urethral/vaginal
area, as disclosed by Katie (dad's introduction of his finger into her vagina), when Katie was talking
with Amy Murray.
Plan:
I will see Katie again if further care or evaluation is required.
I highly recommend that Katie undergo psychological evaluation in view of her disclosures of verbal,
physical, and sexual abuse.

This caseworker also spoke with the natural mother, Shelly
Karichner and her paramour, David Noreika. Shelly reported that Katie
had returned from her week long visitation with her father, Todd Day, on
February 22. 1998. On February 23, 1998, in the evening, David was
reportedly in the living room lying on the sofa and Shelly was in kitchen.

According to David, he called Shelly into the living room and asked Katie
to repeat herself. Both Shelly and David reported that Katie restated
"walkin' talkin' doctor Todd" several times. Shelly reported that she
immediately asked Katie. "Did anybody touch you?" According to Shelly
and David. Katie stated. "Yeah, my daddy." According to Shelly, she

According to Shelly. Crisis Intervention advised Shelly to take Katie to the
Carlisle Hospital for an examination. Shelly took Katie to the Carlisle
Hospital Emergency Room on 4-23-98. Katie would not allow Dr. Frank
to examine her internally. Dr. Frank noted via the physical exam that
Katie had a mild rash on her labia major. According to Shelly, Dr. Frank
recommended an examination for Katie at the Hershey Medical Center.
On 4-24-98, Shelly took Katie to the Hershey Medical Center.
According to Shelly. Katie allowed the nurse practitioner. Chris Arnold, to
look at her internally. Shelly reported that Chris Arnold noticed a clef in
Katie's vagina. Shelly reported that she was referred to Dr. Greenwald at
the Polyclinic Medical Center.
On 4.27-98. Shelly took Katie to be seen by Dr. Greenwald at
Polyclinic. Shelly reported that Katie disclosed to the nurse, "Amy," that
her daddy touches her with his fingers. Additionally, Shelly reported that

Katie's vagina". According to Shelly, Dr. Greenwald noted that Katie's
hymen is partially healed and Dr. Greenwald is unable to speculate when
the "abuse"took place.
Shelly reported that since February, when the split custody began,
Katie has been complaining that her vagina "hurt". Shelly recalls applying
Vagisel to Katie's vagina after Katie returned from approximately three
visits with her father.

but recently Katie has been "scared" of David. David explained that the
reason for this behavioral change is uncertain. David assured this worker

her doll. Shelly reported that Katie stated that her daddy chokes and hits
Katie in the face. Shelly reported that Katie disclosed this same statement
with the nurse. "Amy" at Polyclinic. Shelly reported that Katie had

Apri 11. 1998, she and paternal grandmother had a physical altercation.
Shelly has pictures of her own injuries allegedly caused by this altercation.

difference in Katie" since the alleged abuse. Shelly reported that Katie
attends Mulberry Child Care Center in Camp Hill, PA.

longer works at the child care center. Rick has been employed by the
child care for two weeks and Rick has had contact with Katie on two
dates. Rick recalls that he may have noticed Katie "touching herself," but
"nothing out of the ordinary". Rick stated that he has not seen Katie
penetrating objects into her vagina. Rick reported that Katie's previous
teacher had kept a notebook with notes regarding Katie. Rick reported
that the notebook did not note any behavioral changes in Katie. Rick
reported that it is noted in the book to "keep a log if Katie says or remarks
about dad".
This worker spoke with Charlene White. Center Director at

FINAL ORDER
r.? fJ7
This custody action, involving the tour-year-old daughter of the parties, has been difficult
from its inception. In July of 1997 Mother moved from Clinton County making it difficult, since
Father works a swing shift, to enter a workable Custody Order. On December 23, 1997, primary
physical custody was granted to Mother with Father to have partial custody consistent with his
days off. Following a referral to Robert Meacham, a licensed psychologist appointed by the
Court, an Order was entered on February 25, 1998, granting each parent physical custody on a
seven-day rotating basis. Almost immediately following the entry of that Order and
contempornncous with her beginning a relationship with her current paramour, Mother began to
complain about alleged sexual abuse of the child. Without dwelling at length on such I .
allegations, the court is satisfied from the various medical reports received and the testimony of
Trooper Kenneth Davis and Trooper Joseph Cavanaugh this date that at least a prima facie case
exists warranting a limitation upon the time Father spends with his daughter. Whoever is
responsible, it is undisputed that the child is suffering serious emotional difficulty which must be
promptly addressed.
If the problem of alleged sexual abuse were not involved, the Court would still be
required to make a determination with respect to primary physical custody when the child begins
school in 1999. Based upon the state of the record at this time, the Court is satisfied that the best
interests of the child would be to reside primarily with Mother based upon the following factors:
a. Father's work schedule makes it difficult for him to provide child care.
b. The Court has previously expressed a preference for a two-parent family.
Under the circumstances, therefore, the Court is prepared to enter a Final Order which
may be subject to further modification pending the resolution of any criminal charges against
Father.
NOW, this 4th day of September, 1998, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:
1. The parties shall have shared legal custody of their minor child, Katie Marie Day,
born April 20, 1994, and shall be subject to the Standard Conditions Regarding Shared Custody
and Partial Physical Custody Orders dated December 1, 1996, a copy of which is attached hereto
and incorporated herein by reference.
2. Primary physical custody shall be with Mother subject to the following special
conditions:
a. Mother shall maintain telephone service to her home in order to guarantee timely
communication between the parents.
J. MICNACL WILLIAMSON b. Mother shall advise the Court, in writing, of the identity of anyone who resides

c. Mother shall enroll the child in the I lead Start Program on September 9, 1998.
d. Mother shall cooperate with Clinton County Children and Youth Social Services
Agency or any other agency to whom this matter is referred in order that the child might
receive appropriate counseling.
c. Mother shall rel'min from taking the child to any counselor, psychologist, social
services worker. or other third party without specific written permission of the Court or
Children and Youth, it being the intent of the Court that all counseling be conducted by
such professionals as may be designated by Pamela McCloskey of Children and Youth.
3. Father shall have partial custody privileges as follows:
a, livery twenty-eight (28) days when Father has four (4) days off work over a
weekend.
b. From December 25th at 4:00 p.m. until December 27th at 4:00 p.m.
c. Transportation shall be shared. with the parties meeting at the Wal-Mart store in
Shamokin Dam.
d. Father's custody privileges shall be exercised at the home of the paternal
grandparents where the child shall stay, the child shall not be alone with Father until
further Order.
4. Mother shall have the child available for a telephone call at 6:00 p.m. on Fridays and

Access to Records. Both parents shall have full access to all relevant
medical, dental, psychological, educational, and religious records. Each parent may
obtain such records directly from the provider without the other parent's consent.
Parents shall provide each other with any records not easily obtainable by the other
parent. Any school district which the Children attend shall provide bsth parents
identical information.
Decision-making. Both parents shall use their best efforts to engage in
joint decision-making with respect to the Children. The parents shall consult with
each other concerning major health decisions, transfer of schools, changes in
school curriculum, participation in extra-curricular school activities, participation in
non-school lessons or structured non-school activities or organizations, participation
in summer camps, and similar activities. If the parents are unable to reach an
agreement, they shall exchange written proposals, including their explanations of
their positions, after which they shall meet and discuss their positions in person. If
they still cannot resolve their differences, the Court will, upon written request,
schedule a hearing.
Conflict in Partial Custody Orders. In the event certain provisions in a
Partial Custody Order are inconsistent, the provisions ordered by the Court
concerning specific holidays shall supersede provisions concerning vacations,
weekends, and mid-week visits, and the provisions concerning vacations shall
supersede provisions concerning weekends and mid-week visits.
Implementation. In implementing the Custody Order, both parents
shall be flexible and act in the Children's best interest, shall consult with the
Children where appropriate, and shall give due regard to the Children's legitimate
wishes and needs. Both parents shall use their best efforts in presenting a united
front to Children and in shielding the Children from an awareness of their parents'
discussions and differences as to decision-making. Both parents shall use their best
efforts to insure that their spouses, extended families, and house-hold members
cooperate in carrying out the intent and spirit of the Custody Order.
A parent shall encourage the Children in the exercise of the other
parent's partial custody rights and shall have the Children ready and properly
clothed and fed at the appropriate times. In the event a parent chooses not to
exercise partial custody rights on a given occasion, that parent shall provide
reasonable advance notice of the decision to reduce or eliminate such a partial
custody period.
The parents shall cooperate with each other to permit each parent to
take vacations with the Children and allow each parent to expose the Children to
interactions with their extended families on both sides.

1 MS. URBANO: Your Honor --
2 THE COURT: Just a minute. All right. This is
3 the matter of Shelley Marie Karichner vs. Todd William Day,
4 No. 763-97. This is one in a continuing series of hearings with
5 regard to the custody of the parties' minor child.
6 The Court would note that it is aware of the
7 continuing criminal investigation by the Pennsylvania State
8 Police. Mr. Brungard, I assume that your client understands that
9 in the context of these civil proceedings it may not be advisable
10 for him to testify.
11 MR. BRUNGARD: I would think that he is aware of
12 that.
13 THE COURT: Have you discussed that sufficiently
14 with him so that we can proceed?
15 MR. BRUNGARD: I believe that he is aware that
16 anything that he says here today -- if there is a subsequent
17 criminal case against him, anything that's said here today could
18 be used against him in that criminal case.
19 THE COURT: All right. Ms. Urbano, you can
20 proceed.
21 MS. URBANO: I would like to call Trooper Davis.
22
23 TROOPER KENNETH LEE DAVIS, having been called
24 as a witness, was duly sworn and testified as follows:

25 11 made less sense to have them there at the same time, the same
7
1 place, the same day?
2 A. It would have been, probably a lot longer before I
3 could fit them both in at the same time. I gave other tests
e 4 prior to Mrs. Karichner's test that particular day. There was a
5 test prior to her test. To expedite getting these tests done, we

moved her
7 Q. All right. You're saying to expedite them. Can
8 you explain to me why Mr. Day and I both showed up at Lamar
a 9 Barracks when he was originally scheduled to have his polygraph
a 10 test -- nobody notified us that it wasn't going to happen -- and
11 you weren't there?

P.D., I do make a phone call. Whether that des
15 the Trooper involved or the law enforcement involved, it's beyond
16 my control.

8 A. No. I notified the Trooper involved.
9 Q. You didn't notify Mr. Day; did you?
10 A. No, I did not.
11 Q. And that would have expedited it if the test had
12 taken place that time?
13 A. Perhaps.
14 Q. Well, wouldn't it have been sooner than when it
15 actually was given?
16 A. Yes.
17 Q. All right. Now, isn't it fair to say, Trooper
18 Davis, that you went into Mr. Day's polygraph with a
19 predispositi on?
20 A. No.
21 Q. Was there ever any discussion that other than a --
22 that you were going to have any conversation with Mr. Day other
23 than a polygraph?
24 A. No.
25 Q. So, even though Mr. Day was subject to an
e
9
1 investigation and even though the agreement was that a polygraph
2 was to be administered and that was it, you went ahead after the
3 polygraph and questioned Mr. Day after the polygraph was
4 administered?
5 A. Correct; that's standard procedure.
6 Q. That wasn't the agreement; was it?
7 A. We asked Mr. Day if he wished to talk to us, and he
8 said yes.
9 Q. All right. Let me ask you this, Trooper Davis:
10 What questions did you ask him on the polygraph test?
11 A. If I am allowed to get my folder, which is in my
12 briefcase, I can give you the specific questions because my
13 report was sent to Trooper Cavanaugh, who is not here, to be
14 exact.
15 Q. Is it laying on the bench?
16 A. It's inside my briefcase, next to the chair.
17 MR. BRUNGARD: May I, Your Honor?
18 THE COURT: Well, the Sheriff can get it.
19 THE WITNESS: Thank you, air.
20 A. In this particular test, there are four relevant
21 questions that are utilized.

23 Q. How many questions are asked?
24 A. Ten, total.

A. There's three full charts. The first chart, one
time each; se cond chart, one time each; third chart, there are
two questions that are asked twice.
Q. And eight that are asked once?
A. And the other ones are asked once. So, there's
usually eleve n questions, and they are the same questions --
Q. Eleven questions or twelve questions?
A. Eleven on the second -- or third chart.
Q. All right. What are the ten questions asked the
first time? Are they asked -- let's answer that question first.
What are the ten questions that are asked first?
A. The relevant questions are as follows -- which
would be No. 3 in my test.
Q. No. I want to know all the questions.
A. Well, I will tell you that, air, but each one is in
sequence of numbers. If you want to know a specific number which
we follow on the test, I can give you that as a start.
Q. What I would like you to do, Trooper, so that we
are on the sa me page is go through the questions that you asked
and give the response.
A. All right, air. Relevant question: Are you
attempting to withhold any information of doing anything sexual
to Katie?
THE REPORTER: I can't understand you.
THE COURT: Why don't you just sit back away from
t
11
1 the microphones and speak slowly?
2 BY MR. BRUNGARD:
3 Q. When you say "relevant question," Trooper, are you
4 saying that's the first question or is it the first question
5 that's relevant to you?
6 A. The first question that's relevant to the case.
7 Q. That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking you to go
8 through the lie detector test, the questions that are asked and I
9 want you to specifically state the specific question that is
10 asked.
11 A. Okay. First question: Is today Wednesday? Mr.
12 Day responded, Yes.
13 Is the month August? Mr. Day responded, yes.
14 Are you attempting to withhold any information
15 about doing anything sexual to Katie? Mr. Day responded, No.
16 Is the year 1998? Mr. Day responded, Yes.
17 Did you try and do anything sexual to Katie? Mr.
18 Day responded, No.
19 Before 1994 have you ever masturbated in a public
20 place? Mr. Day responded, No.
21 Are you now in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania?
22 Mr. Day responded, Yes.
23 Did you ever insert your fingers inside of Katie's
24 vagina? Mr. Day responded, No.
25 Did you ever insert your penis into Katie's
A
a
a
12
1 11 vagina? Mr. Day responded, No.
2 Before 1994, have you had sex with another male?
3 Mr. Day responded, No.
4 Q. All right. Now, of those questions that were asked
5 on -- I believe you indicated the first chart?
6 A. Correct. That would be Chart 1.
7 Q. As you're gauging the lie detector test, what, if
8 any, of those questions do you believe that he lied on?
9 A. It only comes out to be, perhaps, three different
10 indications for the test: Pass, No Deception Indicated; Fail,
11 Deception Indicated; and, third, Inconclusive. One cannot say
12 specifically what relevant question because they can all -- might
13 all be intertwined. Obviously, if someone placed a finger inside
14 the vagina, that could be a sexual act. If he is, perhaps,
15 trying to lie about it, that could be attempting to withhold
16 information. So, they are all intertwined.
17 Q. Well, that's not my question.
18 A. Well, I'm trying to answer your question, but I
19 cannot specifically say exactly what question or one question he
20 failed. It's either a pass or fail.
21 Q. And you can't look at the chart and there were ten
22 questions asked and you can't say which one he was either pass,
23 inconclusive, or fail?
24 A. You don't gauge one question and score one
25 question. You score the entire test. The entire test showed Mr.
1
s?
J
J
13
1 Day to being deceptive.
2 Q. Well, let me ask you this, Trooper Davis: Of those
3 ten questions on that first chart, could you say whether or not
4 Mr. Day was being deceptive or not and, if so, how?
5 A. It would be on the four relevant questions, which
6 are: Are you attempting to withhold information about doing
7 anything sexual to Katie? Did you try and do anything sexual to
8 Katie? Did you insert your fingers into Katie's vagina? Did you
9 insert your penis into Katie's vagina?
10 Q. I don't think you're -- I think I'm being clear.
11 Can you tell this Court and can you tell me whether your lie
12 detector test on that first chart tells you which question he is i
13 not answering truthfully?
14 A. It would be the four relevant questions I just
15 said. One does not score just one chart. You need three charts
16 to give us a total.
17 Q. I'm not -- I --
18 A. I cannot say on Chart 1, question whatever, that he
19 is being deceptive. He is being scored over the whole totality
4
20 of all three charts combined to render your score.
21 THE COURT: Trooper, if you had stopped at the
22 completion of the first chart, would you have been able to reach
23 a conclusion with respect to the administration of the test based }6
24 on that first chart only?
25 THE WITNESS: No, Your Honor. You need a bare
14
1 minimum of two charts. They suggest the best ponnible is three
2 charts, which, I always use three charts. One chart I would not
3 have enough data to say, Pass, Fail. It would have to eventually
4 be inconclusive because I don't have the data.

THE COURT: Mr. Brungard, I don
7 unnecessarily limit your examination because it may be beneficial
8 to you in other contexts, but I can tell you that I'm only
9 interested in the statement that wan allegedly made by your
10 client that --

18 it. So, the more you delve into it, the more it gets into my
19 mind and the more difficult it becomes for me to put it out of my
20 mind; but you can go on an long an you want.

4 A. Before the polygraph test, before I even spoke wit
5 Mr. Day that day, he was Mirandized.
6 Q. Do you know who did that?

a
14 the polygraph test, do you have the list of questions that you
a 15 asked?
16 A. Yes. I always have a list of questions I ask.
a 17 Q. Do you have the list of questions that you asked
18 him that particular day?
19 A. Yes.
Q 20 Q. Can you go over them one by one and what Mr. Day's
21 answer was?
22 A. Sure.
(?] 23 THE COURT: This was after the third chart.
24 THE WITNESS: Well, they are the same questions.
25 BY MR. BRUNGARD:
a
a
S
16
1 Q. No. We're not talking about the polygraph test.
2 We're talk ing about after the polygraph test. Didn't you testify
3 that you met with Mr. Day and asked him questions?
4 A. I did. I asked him why did he fail.
5 Q. Well, that'n what I'm trying to find out.
6 A. There's no written questions. I came in. I
7 explained to him -- I said, According to my results, you haven't
8 been 100 p ercent honont with me. You did not do well on the
9 test. You failed my test: and we got into a discussion and
10 that's whe re he mentioned it's possible that his finger did go up
11 inside hie daughter'n vagina.
12 Q. All right. Lot me ask you this --
13 A. I have no structured form questions. I've got
14 informatio n from quentiono in the past.
15 Q. Do you have any structured form answers?
16 A. Other than him saying his finger slipped inside his
17 daughter'n vagina, no.
18 Q. Did you write down what he answered word for word?
19 A. Not verbatim, no, air.
20 Q. Would you at least tell the Court what questions
21 you -- can you tell the Court what questions you asked Mr. Day?
22 A. In there ever a possibility that his finger might
23 have been inside his daughter's vagina, and he said, Yes.
24 Q. Now, do you want to slow that down and do you want
25 to nay it again?
17
1 A. Is it ever possible that his finger might have been
2 inside of her vagina and he said yes after, perhaps, giving her a
3 bath and drying her off, his finger could have slipped inside her
4 vagina.
5 Q. But did he say anything further? Did he said
6 anything like -- but he doesn't remember Katie saying anything;
7 he doesn' t remember doing it?
8 A. Yes. I asked him. I said, Did she make her eyes
9 fli
nch or say something? He said, No. I said, Do you recall
10 which han d or which finger? He said, No.
11 Q. So, we are talking about a possibility, like it's
12 possible that it could snow today?
13 A. Perhaps, but it's very, very odd. One would know
14 if their finger's inside a person's vagina or not, especially the
15 size of a child.
16 Q. You asked him what -- you asked him the question,
17 I
i i
s
t poss
ble that it could have -- that's your question?
18 A. Yes.
19 Q. And he said, it's possible when I was drying her
20 off.
21 A. Yes. r
22 Q. Did he say that he did it? a
R
' 23 A. He said it's possible that his finger did go

25 Q. You're missing my

O
u
1e
I A. No. He did not say exactly, Yes, I did. I asked
2 him, Do you recall which hand or finger? He said, No.
3 Q. Did he say -- in other words, you asked him a
4 question, Is it possible --
5 A. Yes.
6 Q. And he answered, I guess it's possible?
7 A. Yes. Now, if I asked you, Did you ever dry your
8 daughter or some loved one off and your finger slide into her
9 vagina or anus, is that possib le? Do you recall ever having --
10 Q. I don't -- did you ask him did he recall anything
11 like that happening?
12 A. Yes.
13 Q. And what did he say?
14 A. He says, No, but it's possible.
15 Q. He said, No, but it's possible; or he said, No?
16 A. It's possible.
17 Q. Did you ask him if Katie ever said anything or
18 flinched or --
19 A. Yes --
20 Q. -- complained?
21 A. -- and he said, No. So, I said, you know, being
22 her small size that she would probably feel something like that
23 going ins ide her; and he said, No. He doesn't recall her
24 flinching or saying something hurt.
25 Q. Did he ever say that he did?
a
A
a
19
1 A. Initially, he said he didn't and then he said it's
2 possible.
3 Q. That's not my question. I'm asking -- Trooper
4 Davis, I'm asking you a very specific question.
5 A. Initially, he said he didn't.
6 Q. Did he ever say that he did? Did he ever say, I
7 definitely put my -- or I -- my fingers went inside her vagina.
8 Did he ever say that?
9 A. No.
10 Q. So, his response was an honest response in answer
11 to an "is it possible" question?
12 A. Not in my opinion.
13 Q. Well, did you ever ask him, Did he put his fingers
14 in her vagina?
15 A. Yes.
16 Q. And what did he say?
17 A. It's possible.
18 Q. No. That's not what you testified to earlier.
19 A. He says, No; but he says, It's also possible.
20 Q. No. Trooper, I'm not trying to trip you up.
21 MS. URBANO: Your Honor, I believe that --
22 THE COURT: Do you have an objection?
23 MS. URBANO: I have an objection that it's a
24 leading question.
25 THE COURT: Overruled. Go on, Mr. Brungard.

2 Q. Trooper, Mr. Day is fighting for custody of his
3 daughter.
4 A. I understand that.
5 Q. Mr. Day is involved with, apparently, an underlying
6 criminal investigation.
7 A. Um-hum.
8 Q. Okay. With -- knowing that, I'm trying to ask you
9 specific questions and I'm trying to get specific answers as best
10 I can.
it A. Okay.
12 Q. I'm not trying to trip you up.
13 A. I understand that.
14 Q. All I'm trying to find out is what questions did
15 you speci fically ask Mr. Day and what were his specific answers
16 to those specific questions. Can you tell the Court the specific
17 questions as best you can and the specific answers to those
18 specific questions as beat you can?
19 A. I asked him if there's any time he placed his
20 finger in side his daughter's vagina.
21 Q. And he said?
22 A. It's possible -- he said, No. Like, I asked, Did
23 you put any cream on her or anything? He said, No. Then, as the
24 conversation went on, he said it's possible his finger slipped
25 inside his daughter's vagina while drying her off.

21
1 Q. Based upon what question?
2 A. Dealing with the same last question.
3 Q. Trooper, do you have anything written down anywhere
4 that would tell this Court and tell us what the questions were
5 that you asked?
6 A. I don't have anything written down, sir, no. As I
7 told you, there's nothing structured. It's unstructured.
8 Q. And it's not recorded?
9 A. No.
10 Q. And the answers aren't recorded?
11 A. No. Perhaps, if you were there, we would have a
12 taped interview.
13 Q. I'm not going to get into that. I'm not going to
14 be baited into that argument.
15 So, we don't have any specific questions. We don't
16 have any specific answers that you can pinpoint, This is what was
17 written down; this is what was said. All we have got is a
18 general response to, Is it possible that he did -- that you might
19 have; and he said it's possible when he was drying her off?
20 A. Correct.
21 Q. But when you asked him the specific question, he
22 said, No.
23 A. Correct. Then, he went on to say later on, before
24 he denied doing anything to his daughter or not doing anything to
25 his daughter, he wanted to talk to his attorney, which we stopped

and I advised him he should contact you as soon as he was done.
Q. How long did you question Mr. Day during the lie
detector test? Roughly, how long did that take?
A. From start to finish?
Q. Yes -- just the lie detector portion.
A. The test itself?
Q. Yes.
A. The specific test is only approximately a half
hour; but before you get to that particular half hour when you're
actual ly doing the test charts, there's a lot of discussion going
on about medical background. I wanted to see if there's anything
that's going to appear on the charts that would be abnormal due
to som e either physiological response, such as a heart murmur or
things like that or if he is not even capable of taking the test
at all that day or ever able to.
Q. And, then, after the test was performed, how long
did you have a conversation with Mr. Day asking questions
about -- how long were you with him after the test was over?
A. To be totally exact?
Q. Approximately.
A. At least a good hour, I would say.
p!
Q. So, he was there for well over two hours. Is that
"JiM
a fair statement?
A. Well, the test started at 16:35 when he was
'i
Mirand ized; and, specifically, what time it was over, I don't t
mss
1
23
1 have that written down. Trooper Cavanaugh would probably have
2 something like that.
3 Q. What time -- wasn't he supposed to be there at 4:30
4 that afternoon?
5 A. 16:30 is 4:30. It's 4:35, to be accurate.
6 Q. Okay, and you don't know what time it was --
7 everything, the whole shooting match, was over?
8 A. I wouldn't know. I don't have that data with me.
9 I had an incident number for reporting to P.S.P. Lamar and that
10 would have my finish time on it.
11 Q. Finish time for the test or finish time for the
12 whole thing?
13 A. For the whole thing. I have to log where i have
14 been accordingly.
15 Q. All right. Let me ask you: So, he was there for
16 at least two hours. Is that a fair statement?
17 A. Oh, yes.
18 Q. Three?
19 A. Possible.
20 Q. And, finally, he said, If you're going to be asking
21 me any more questions, I probably should talk to an attorney?
22 A. Yes.
23 Q. He voluntarily showed up there?
24 A. Yes.
25 Q. He didn't have to be there?
1 1 24
A
. No.

20 DIRECT EXAMINATION
21
22 BY MR. BRUNGARD:
23 Q. Mr. Day, you have heard the discussion we have had
24 previously about the fact that there's a pending criminal
25 investigation. Do you understand that?
1
a
¦
M
¦
25
1 A. Yes.
2 Q. Are you aware that anything you say today, even
3 though you mi ght think it's favorable to you, could potentially
4 be turned aga inst you later on?
5 A. Yes, I do.
6 Q. Are you still willing to testify?
7 A. Yes, I am.
8 Q. Do you want to testify?
9 A. Yes.
10 Q. If I told you that it would probably be a more
11 intelligent move not to testify until the pending criminal
12 investigation is over and charges are filed or not filed, would
13 that persuade you not to testify?
14 A. Yes.
15 Q. So, if I told you not to testify because I don't
16 think it's a wise move until this underlying criminal
17 investigation is over, what is your choice?
18 A. Not to testify.
19 Q. Do you understand by not testifying the chances are
20 very good -- I would suggest excellent -- that the Judge is
21 probably going to keep you from seeing your daughter for a little
22 while?
23 A. If that's case, I'll testify.
24 Q. You'll testify because you want to see your
25 daughter?
e
26
1 A. That's correct.
2 Q. And you're willing to undergo the risk of whatever
3 you're saying here today being used against you later?
4 A. Yes.
5 Q. All right. You heard Trooper Davis testify here
6 today, correct?
7 A. Yes.
8 Q. Do you know about what time you got there that day?
9 A. Well, I got there about a quarter of 4:00.
10 Q. And is it fair to say that neither you nor I were
11 contacted when we showed up the previous time for a test?
12 A. That's correct.
13 Q. And we both showed up at the State Police Barracks
14 and Trooper Davis wasn't there?
15 A. No, he wasn't.
16 Q. Now, on this particular day, was I able to be
17 there?

9
27
test was over, if you can recall?
2 A. After the test was over, i had to go out in the
3 waiting room for about ten minutes. He said he'd be out to get
4 me, it would take about ten minutes. He come out and got me,
5 went ba ck into the room, and he said, You failed the test.
6 Q. Did he say anything else?
7 A. i asked him why, what questions? He says, I'm not
8 allowed to give you that. It's either Pass/Fail.
9 Q. He couldn't tell you which questions you failed?

15 Q. The way your attitude was?
16 A. Yes.
17 Q. Did he explain?
18 A. No, he didn't.
19 Q. All right. Then, what, if anything, took place?
20 Did he ask you any other questions?
21 A. Yes. He proceeded to ask me if I -- if I ever did
22 touch h er down there for any specific reason; and i said the only
23 time I did was to put cream on or to dry her off.
24 Q. Dry her off after what?
25 A. After a bath.
[0
28
1 Q. Did you say that or did you just say, To dry her
2 off?
3 A. I said when I dried her off --
4 Q. Okay.
5 A. -- because sometimes she needs help down there to
6 make sure she's dried off.
7 Q. Okay, and you have testified previously that she
8 has had i nfections. So, she has had to have cream down there
9 on --
10 A. Yes.

12 A. Yes.
13 Q. That's not an uncommon occurrence, correct?
14 A. No.
15 Q. Now, what -- do you recall the questions that
16 Trooper Davis -- or can you recall the questions that Trooper
17 Davis ask ed you during that interview -- and I'm not talking
18 about the lie detector. I'm talking about afterwards. Did he
19 ask you whether you had ever put your fingers in there?
20 A. Yes. He asked me if I had ever put my fingers or
21 anything -- foreign object in there; and I said, No, I did not.
22 He asked me if it was possible; and I said, Yeah, it is
23 possible. Anytime it's down there, it's possible for anybody.
24 Q. Did he ask you if Katie said -- or did Katie
25 complain or anything like that?
e

4 A. Not pertaining to that instance.
5 Q. What did he ask you?
6 A. He said -- he basically told me that if I would
7 confess to doing anything that the D.A. would probably overlook
8 it and it wouldn't be that much of a serious crime.
9 Q. Was he trying to convince you to confess to
10 something?
11 A. Yes, in my mind, because he, basically, said he
12 does feel I'm guilty. He said in court he would suggest to the
13 Judge to t hrow the book at me.
14 Q. Now, you have heard him testify here today.
15 A. Yes.
16 Q. You have heard his roundabout way of doing things.

DIRECT EXAMINATION
BY MS. URBANO:
Q. Would you please state your name?
A. Trooper Joseph M. Cavanaugh.
Q. For whom and where are you employed?
A. I'm employed by the Pennsylvania State Police,
Lamar Barracks.
Q. Are you familiar with Shelley Karichner, Todd Day,
and Katie Day?
A. Yes, I am.
Q. Would you describe the contact you have had with
each of those people?
A. Shelley is Katie Day's mother -- Shelley Karichner
is Katie Day's mother. I have had interviews with her with
regards to allegations that were made by Katie against her
father, Todd Day. Katie has indicated at this point that she has
been vaginally penetrated and it did hurt, and she described
other things, which, because of her age, are somewhat hard to
understand what she is doing with dolls. Mr. Day is her father
from my understanding. He is claiming that he has no actual
knowledge of how she could have become injured.
Q. What specific objects did Katie describe to you
that her father used to penetrate her?

MR. BRUNGARD: I don't know that that's -- he has
testified to that.
THE COURT: Overruled.

balloon. That was fairly vague as to how they were used. She
described one item as being a stick. She indicated by picking
out a marker that it was a flesh colored stick. She described it
as having black cobwebs on the one end and white pee on the other
and she did indicate that that was part of her father. She also
related to a bar of soap was used on her -- and fingers.
BY MS. URBANO:

physical contact that would not have been sexual contact but
considered physical violence in some way against her?

A. Swearing, being told she is stupid.
Q. Did Katie describe her father sufficiently enough
in your mind to know that she was talking about Todd Day?
A. Yes.

the opportunity to interview any other individuals besides Mr.
Day, Miss Karichner, and Katie?

22 Q. Did you find Katie to be believable?
23 A. Yes.
24 Q. Do you have physical evidence that Katie was, in
25 11 fact, penetrated and sexually abused?
35
1 A
D
'

3 Q. Did you determine that Todd Day had access to
4 Katie?

9 Katie was to be with her for supervised visits with Mr. Day, and
10 she came in on her own sometime after that.
11 Q. Did you have an opportunity to discuss this
12 investigation with Mrs. Day?
13 A. Yes, I did.
14 Q. In your opinion as an investigator, what type of
15 cooperation did you have with Mrs. Day?
16 A. Mrs. Day brought Katie in for the interview. She,
17 basically, said she had a hard time believing that her son had
18 done what was alleged and she did appear to try to get Katie to
19 make statements. During the interview, there was mention of
20 going for ice cream. She also stopped in later on and spoke to
21 me briefly about something that was indicated on the court report
22 about a three-hour interview and asked me to check with Katie
23 about a bar of soap. When I asked her what that had to -- where
24 that may go, she said, you know, just to ask Katie about the bar
25 of soap.

6 MS. URBANO: I have no further questions for this

appointment to meet with her and her daughter.
Q. All right. So that was on the phone, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And, then, when you met with Mr. Wilson, was that
face to face or was that on the phone also?
A. It's usually by phone. I can't say for sure.
Q. So, you spoke to Miss Karichner on the phone and,
then, what was the next thing -- who was the next person you
talked to, either by phone or in person?

Q. Extensively or briefly?
A. We were together for a time. Katie would talk a
little and play and draw.
Q. Who was -- who -- when you were talking to Katie,
who were you talking -- who else was present then?
A. Her mother.
Q. Anybody else?
A. Initially, no. Her -- Katie's grandmother --
maternal grandmother had come in near the end when i was just
talking to Miss Karichner.
Q. All right. Now, Trooper, what questions, if any,
would you have asked Katie that particular day?
A. what had happened, what she recalled.
Q. Well, I mean, that's being pretty vague. I mean,
did you specifically say -- what questions did you specifically
ask Katie?
A. Specific questions or just general questions?
Basically, what i am indicating, what had happened, what she
recalled.
Q. Well, if you asked -- if you came to me or the
Judge or anybody and just said, What happened, or what do you
recall, I wouldn't have a clue what you're talking about. So,
what I'm trying to find out is what did you say to Katie that
would have got her talking about some type of sexual contact or
non-contact?
A
a
40
1 A. How she was hurt and what she called her anatomical
2 parts.
3 Q. How did you lead up to that?
4 A. I usually start by establishing the child's
5 credibility, long-term memory, difference between the truth and a
6 lie, see basi cally if they can remember and if they know there's
7 a consequence for lying. Once they do that, then we ask them to
e identify body parts.
9 Q. What do you use?
10 A. It's --
11 Q. Do you have some type of doll?
12 A. No. It's just a generic drawing.
13 Q. You ask her to draw something?
14 A. No, just -- you point to, like, the hands and you
15 ask her what those are and they give you whatever they call them.
16 Q. What are you pointing at? Are you pointing at a
17 drawing?
18 A. At the picture, yes.
19 Q. Whose picture?
20 A. It's just a drawing of a body shape.

22 A. I received them in training.
23 Q. So, it's a preprinted picture?
24 A. Yes.
25 Q. Is it of a male; is it of a female; or is it of a
41
1 II child?
2 A. They are child-type figures, male and female;
3 female indicated by hair. That's about it.
4 Q. Is there anything on those figures dealing with
5 sexual organs?
6 A. No.
7 Q. All right. So, we have got a -- are they naked or,
a at leas t, are there any clothes on?
9 A. They don't appear to be dressed, no. They're like
10 gingerbread men.
11 Q. Okay. So, you ask a question about what is this;
12 what is this; what is this?
13 A. Yes.
14 Q. Like hands, feet, things like that?
15 A. Yes.
16 Q. And then what?
17 A. You ask what they refer to their -- what is
la general ly referred to as their private areas, their chest, their
19 bottom, their genitalia.
20 Q. Did she point to her chest?
21 A. No.
22 Q. Did she point to the child's chest?
23 A. I would point with a pencil and ask them what they
24 called the area.

11 A. Why she would call it that.
12 Q. And what did she say?
13 A. I don't recall. I don't have that report.
14 Q. Then, what did you ask her?

16 Q. And what did she say?
17 A. She indicated her father had.
is Q. What did she say? Did she say, My daddy did; did
19 she say, My father did; what did she say?
20 A. Verbatim, I don't recall. I do not have the
21 report.
22 Q. You don't have the report or you don't write these
23 things down and you just write a general report?
24 A. It's recorded, what she said.

14 A. No.
15 Q. So, when Mrs. Day and Katie left --

18 taken a po lygraph test and had brought Katie along.

19 That would have been the day that Mrs. Karichner had the
20 polygraph.
21 A. Yes.
22 Q. How long did you question her that day?
23 A. I can't tell time. There's no clock in the room,
24 and I don' t check the times.
25 Q. Well, I mean, was it an extended period of time or
A
A

A
A

a
J
48
1 was it --
2 A. It was fairly brief.
3 Q. And the third time, what did Katie say?
4 A. She had indicated she had two fathers, a good daddy
5 and a bad daddy. The good daddy was going to protect her and
6 make sure nobody hurt her. The bad daddy was walking, talking,
7 Doctor Todd and he looked exactly like her father and he's the
8 one who hurts her.
9 Q. And, so, she said she had a good daddy. Did she
10 say who the good daddy was?
11 A. The good daddy was Todd Day.
12 Q. And the bad daddy?
13 A. Was walking, talking Doctor Todd who is -- who
14 looks like Todd Day.
15 Q. So, do you believe -- did you take from that she
16 was talking about the same person?
17 A. Yes.
18 Q. You have reports for all of these interviews?
19 A. Yes. They are marked for the date.
20 Q. Trooper Cavanaugh, when you do these interviews and
21 you say they are recorded, they are not tape recorded; are they?
22 A. No.
23 Q. So, when they are recorded, they are recorded based
24 upon -- do you write down everything you say, every question and
25 every answer or do you just write down your general --
iasd
e
a
a
r
¦
49
1 A. I write down the answers the children --
2 Q. But you don't --
3 A. -- give or what they say to me.
4 Q. -- write down the question?
5 A. No.
6 Q. So, depending upon how the question is worded would
7 control how the answer is given?
8 A. It might. It would depend on the child.
9 Q. It would depend on the adult if you asked questions
10 to an adult; would it not?
it A. Yes.
12 Q. But you don't write down the questions; you just
13 write down t he answers?
14 A. Yes. I just put it into a general statement.
15 Q. Have you talked to anybody else other than the
16 neighbors and the interviews you have just mentioned and I assume
17 you probably have consulted with Trooper Davis?
18 A. No. Everyone that I have mentioned is who I have
19 spoken to.
20 Q. You haven't talked to Doctor Greenwald?
21 A. No, just received written correspondence from his
22 office.
23 Q. The written correspondence being the stuff that
24 would have b een prepared several months ago?
25 A. Yes, and then a follow-up letter, where his office
e
0
¦
u
so
1 II was indicating they were more than willing to participate in any
2 prosecution.
3 Q. But you haven't talked to Doctor Greenwald
4 personally?
5 A. No, I have not.
6 Q. Have you talked to any of those medical personnel
7 personally?
8 A. No, I have not.
9 MR. BRUNGARD: Nothing further.
10 MS. URBANO: I have no further questions.
11 THE COURT: Okay. Thank you, Trooper..
12 MS. URBANO: Your Honor, I would ask for this
13 witness to be excused.
14 THE COURT: If he wants to leave, he can.
15 MR. BRUNGARD: Thank you, Trooper.
16 THE COURT: Anything else?
17 MS. URBANO: Only that Pam McCloskey is here and
18 available, although she has prepared a written report.
19 THE COURT: Do you have a copy of that report, Mr.
20 Brungard?
21 MR. BRUNGARD: To tell you the truth, I'm not
22 sure. I thought I had seen one report where it was inconclusive.
23 THE COURT: You're shown as being copied on both
24 reports. One is dated July 13, 1998, and the second is -- that's -
25 II pretty much Ms. McCloskey's own report and the second is
1
1
51
1 August 11, 1998, and that is, essentially, Doctor Greenwald's
2 report and various hospital emergency --
3 MR. BRUNGARD: Well, the report I'm looking at
4 right now is dated June 24th.
5 MS. URBANO: He is looking at Ms. McCloskey's
6 report right now.
7 THE COURT: I have two reports: One, July 13th;
8 one, August 11th; and it indicates you received copies of both of
9 them.
10 MR. BRUNGARD: May I see those, Your Honor? May I
11 approach?
12 (Whereupon, Mr. Brungard examined the reports
13 the Court was referring to at this time.)
14 MR. BRUNGARD: There is actually -- my recollection
15 is that, actually, the August 11th letter, Your Honor, would have
16 been attaching documents as opposed to additional testimony by
17 Ms. McCloskey.
18 THE COURT: That's correct. All right. Mr.
19 Brungard, do you have any other testimony?
20 MR. BRUNGARD: Yes. I'd call Mrs. Day.

BY MR. BRUNGARD:
Q. Would you state your name?
A. Jane Day.
Q. Your address?
A. 130 West Keller Street, Castanea, PA.
Q. And everybody knows that you're the paternal
grandmother of Katie, correct?
A. I think so.
Q. Now, you heard Trooper Cavanaugh testify that you
brought Katie in for an interview. Were you present for that
initial interview?
A. Yes.
Q. And did Katie say during that interview that your
son had done anything to her?
A. No.
Q. Now, you also came in a second time, Trooper
Cavanaugh indicated, on your own. I believe he then testified
that you had called ahead to see if he was there and he said,
come on in.
A. Yes.
Q. So, you went up to talk to him, correct?
A. Right.
Q. And you took Katie with you.
r.
A. No.
li T
r
53
1 Q. You didn't?
2 A. Not that time, no.
3 Q. You just --
4 A. I only took her the one time because I -- well, how
5 I got to even talk to Trooper Cavanaugh was because Katie would
6 tell me she was up to talk to the police and she doesn't like the
7 police, she says; and I said, Oh. So, I called to see how many
8 times that Katie has been talking to the police and I think he
9 stated three times. That's -- that's -- I think that's what he
10 said; and I said, Well, if you can be talking to her with her
11 mother and grandmother, which he stated, I said, Why can't I have
12 a right to come with Katie myself? And he said, Oh, you can.
13 So, he told me when to come up with Katie. That's when I went up
14 with Katie, and that's when I was in with her. That's the time
15 he said; but, then, he said to me, he said, Say something to
16 Katie about what happened. Maybe she'll tell you. Well --
17 Q. So, after the interview that he had with Katie when
18 you were there, Trooper Cavanaugh suggested at the end of the
19 interview --
20 A. Katie didn't hear this. Katie didn't hear him tell
21 me this.
22 Q. So, after the interview with Katie when you were
23 there, Katie was in another room or did Trooper Cavanaugh call
24 you or how did he -- what suggestion did he make?
25 A. As soon as he opened the door, she took off and
54
1 went out through the room that we were in and just went out into
2 the -- way out -- out through the hall.
3 Q. okay.
4 A. Where he had us was at this end and she just took
5 off.
6 Q. Okay.
7 A. Todd was out there. He was out there. I stopped
8 her because I said, You can't -- She can't be out there with her
9 dad; and he said, I understand that.
10 Q. Okay. Then, there was a door separating where
11 her -- before she could go out into the lobby, right?
12 A. Yes.
13 Q. So, while you were at the other end of the
14 building, what did Trooper Cavanaugh suggest to you?
15 A. That if she -- Katie would tell me anything about
16 the thing that that would be fine, if I could ask her questions.
17 I said, I don't like to ask Katie questions about anything
18 because I think she is confused enough about everything that is
19 going on with her. I said, if she voluntarily says something, I
20 said, I listen to her.
21 Q. Okay. Did -- at some point did Katie say something
22 to you after that day?
23 A. Yes.
24 Q. Now, what were the circumstances surrounding that?
25 Did you ask her questions or did she --
55
1 A. No.
2 Q. -- blurt it out or what happened?
3 A. No.
4 Q. Where were you at?
5 A. We were at the house, and Katie just said -- she
6 said --
7 MS. URBANO: Objection, Your Honor, to the hearsay.
8 THE COURT: Overruled.
9 BY MR. BRUNGARD:
10 Q. Go ahead. You can say what Katie said.
11 A. Katie says my daddy isn't a bad daddy; and I said,
12 Oh, I don' t think your daddy is a bad daddy either; and she says,
13 But my mommy says he is bad all the time. I said, Well, that's
14 okay; and she said, We played a joke on Daddy; and I said, You
15 did play a joke on Daddy? Mommy and I did, she says; and I said,
16 Oh, I says , What joke did you play on Daddy; and she said, My
17 Mommy took a cake of soap and put some black stuff and I don't
18 know what that black stuff was and stuck it up in my bad, bad
19 thing, she says; and I said, Did it hurt? And she said, oh, it
20 hurt bad; but she said, Mommy said this is a joke on Daddy; and
21 he said -- Dave said, Don't do that, she said, We just got
22 together - -
23 Q. When was this conversation --
24 A. -- and I said, Was Dave there when she did this;
25 and he sai d -- Katie says, Yes.
56
1 Q. When did this conversation take place; a month ago;
2 two months ago?
3 A. That's when I went up to Cavanaugh and asked him to
4 ask her about a cake of soap and he said, Why; and I said, I'm
5 not going to tell you why. I said, you ask Katie yourself and
6 see what Katie says.
7 Q. I have a note or a message that indicates
8 July 13th. Would that be about the time that this conversation
9 with Katie would have taken place?
10 A. It could be. I have -- I have it wrote down at the
11 house. I have it wrote down exactly when it was.
12 Q. All right, and, so, when Katie told you that,
13 that's when you contacted Trooper Cavanaugh?
14 A. Trooper Cavanaugh. I went up -- I went up to
15 Trooper Cavanaugh and asked him if he would please ask Katie when
16 he has a conversation with her -- well, in fact, she -- Shelley
17 was coming in for her test that day; and he said -- and I said,
18 Ask her -- Katie about a cake of soap; and he said, Why; and I
19 said, You ask Katie and let Katie tell you.
20 Q. All right. So, Katie wasn't with you when you went
21 to see Trooper Cavanaugh --
22 A. No.
23 Q. -- about the soap incident?
24 A. Shelley -- she was with Shelley. We got her after
25 Shelley got the polygraph. Shelley brought her over to the
a
¦
57
1 II house.
2 THE COURT: Mr. Brungard, that's the third time you
3 have established that fact.
4 BY MR. BRUNGARD:
5 0. Now, approximately a week to ten days later, did
6 Katie say anything about Mommy and her fingers?
7 A. She -- she -- not -- no. I don't recall her saying
8 about her mommy's fingers. She said her finger. She said if she
9 put her finger up there. She said, I put my finger up there.
10 Q. What prompts these conversations? How does this
11 subject come up?
12 A. She just says it. She'll just say, My daddy is not
13 a bad daddy; and I'll say, No, your daddy is not a bad daddy;
14 and, then, she'll tell me these things. There's no
15 conversation. She just -- that's -- Katie just says it.
16 Q. Its weighing on her mind. Does it appear to be
17 weighing on her mind?
18 A. Well, it doesn't seem to be until she brings it up;
19 and, then, when she brings it up, I listen to her, but I don't
20 take it to any -- whatever she says, I listen to.
21 Q. But you don't prompt?
22 A. I have been calling Pam and notifying Pam of
23 different things that's happened because it just seems -- it's
24 the only place we can go. It's the only place I found that I can
25 go or I call you. I don't know where else to go for these things
e
a
a
O
58
1 11 that's happening.
2 Q. But when Katie makes these comments, it's not from
3 prompting from anybody?
4 A. No. It's usually just when I am with her. It's
5 not when her dad is with her that she does it. It's just --
6 just - - she brings it up and says it.
7 MR. BRUNGARD: Nothing further.

10
11 BY MS. URBANO:
12 Q. Mrs. Day, this incident supposedly with soap, that
13 was prior to Miss Karichner's polygraph; is that your testimony?
14 A. Yes. Yes, it was.
15 Q. And in the interview that you attended with Katie
16 where you were present and Trooper Cavanaugh was present, is that
17 the interview that Katie said that she had hurt herself?
18 A. There? There -- up with him? I don't understand
19 you. When she was being interviewed by him? Is that what you
20 mean?
21 Q. Yes, and when you were present.
22 A. I don't really recall if she did say that then.
23 Q. So, you don't recall what Katie said while she was
24 being interviewed by Trooper Cavanaugh when you were present?
25 MR. BRUNGARD: Objection. That wasn't --
a
59
1 A. He was --
2 MR. BRUNGARD: That wasn't her testimony. It was a
3 different - - objection.
4 THE COURT: Ask the question again. I'm not sure
5 I'm following the question.
6 BY MS. URBANO:
7 Q. Is it your testimony that when Katie was being
8 interviewed by Trooper Cavanaugh in your presence you don't
9 recall what statements that she made regarding who hurt her?
10 A. Through the interview, he more or less told her to
11 draw things and she was just kind of scribbling with pencil and
12 paper. He wasn't specifically asking her anything when I was
13 there.
14 Q. Now, did you hear Trooper Cavanaugh indicate that
15 during that particular interview when you were present that Katie
16 said that she hurt herself?
17 A. (No response.)
18 Q. Do you recall that testimony?
19 A. Yes. I recall him saying that here today -- today.
20 Q. All right. Now, do you recall Katie saying that in
21 the interview?
22 A. Katie has said that many a times. I don't
23 specifically recall whether he did or whether he did not ask her
24 that question at that time because he was more concerned in her
25 drawing pictures.

61
1 II BY MS. URBANO :
2 Q. Would you please state your name and occupation?
3 A. Pamela McCloskey, psychologist.
4 Q. For whom are you employed?
5 A. Clinton County Children and Youth Services.
6 Q. Ms. McCloskey, I'm not going to have you go through
7 word for word your report. The Court has that report. I do want
8 to ask you, Have you kept informed of this investigation since
9 the time that you wrote your report?
10 A. I reviewed the case file and then you called me
11 earlier this week. According to a notation made by Dennis Wilson
12 in the file, Trooper Cavanaugh called the Agency and indicated
13 that Mr. Day took a lie detector test and failed that test and
14 Trooper Cavanaugh believes that the father made a partial
15 confession to touching Katie's vagina while bathing her and that
16 his finger may have went in while doing that.
17 Q. Have you had an opportunity to listen to the
18 testimony presented thus far today?
19 A. Yes, I did.
20 Q. At the end of your report, you made some
21 recommendations for the future -- for Katie's future care and
22 protection. I would like you to at this point give the Court
23 your recommendations as far as future care and possible therapy
24 and contact with the father?
25 A. Well, in terms of therapy, I think it's clear that
B
e
62
1 Katie is a very anxious and stressed child and should be involved
2 in non-directive play therapy to help address those issues and to
3 help determine what is contributing to the stress factor -- to
4 the stress that she is exhibiting now.
5 In terms of contact with Mr. Day, because of the
6 ongoing investigation, we would recommend, at the least,
7 supervised contact. Generally, we do not have contact with
0 alleged sexual offenders unless the child's therapist recommends
9 that.
10 Q. So, in your opinion it would be appropriate to get
11 her involved with a therapist and at the time the therapist felt
12 it was appropriate introduce Mr. Day in a supervised setting?
13 A. Yes.
14 Q. What would your feelings be or your recommendations
15 be as to continuing having Mr. Day's mother be the supervisor in
16 this case?
17 A. That would depend somewhat on Mrs. Day's stress
18 level and the probability that she would try to address this
19 issue with Katie, especially because of the ongoing criminal
20 investigation and the ability to protect Katie from contact.
21 Q. If you had a choice between a supervised setting or
22 the grandmother, particularly in light of the fact that the
23 grandmother does not believe these allegations, what would you
24 recommend to the Court?
25 A. Because of the pending criminal investigation, I
1
1
1
1
D
a
r
63
would recommend supervised contact.
2 Q. Not by Mrs. Day?
3 A. Not by Mrs. Day until the criminal investigation is
4 completed.
5 MS. URBANO: I have no further questions.

10 Q. Mrs. McCloskey, has Mrs. Day been -- when I'm
11 talking about Mrs. Day, I'm talking about the paternal
12 grandmother. Has she been cooperative with you?
13 A. Yes.
14 Q. Is she believable?
15 A. Yes.
16 Q. Has she -- have you met with Mrs. Day and Katie at
17 the same time ? Have you seen them interact?
18 A. Yes.
19 Q. How do Katie and Mrs. Day get along?
20 A. They appear to get along well.
21 Q. Now, have you seen Katie with Todd Day?
22 A. Yes.
23 Q. How do they get along?
24 A. There are no apparent problems.
25 Q. Does Katie appear fearful around Mr. Day?
1

e
r
64
1 A. Not in the waiting room setting, no.
2 Q. What's that?
3 A. Not in the waiting room setting that I observed
4 them.
5 Q. Well, in any setting you have observed them?
6 A. That's the only setting where I have seen them
7 together.
8 Q. Now, you have heard Trooper Cavanaugh indicate the
9 criminal investigation is basically complete?
10 A. Yes.
it Q. And you have testified that until the investigation
12 is comple ted you wouldn't recommend supervision through Mr. Day's
13 mother?
14 A. Yes.
15 Q. Do you mean until the -- this thing plays itself
16 out in th e criminal context?
17 A. Yes. It's my understanding, according to Ms.
18 Urbano ea rlier this week, that charges were to be filed and Mr.
19 Day would be arrested.
20 Q. Well, did you hear Trooper Cavanaugh say he has got
21 to talk to the D.A. and the D.A. has to decide whether or not he
22 is filing charges?
23 A. Yes.
24 Q. And Trooper Cavanaugh is so concerned about this
25 that the investigation -- the last part of the investigation
¦
65
1 would have been the week of the Clinton County Fair, which would
2 have been a round August 12th?
3 A. I don't know.
4 Q. Well, if I told you that the last -- the -- the --
5 THE COURT: What's your point, Mr. Brungard?
6 MR. BRUNGARD: My point is that Trooper Cavanaugh,
7 apparently, isn't so concerned, even though he knows that Katie
8 has been se en with Mrs. Day and has been around her father for
9 almost a mo nth -- correct?
10 THE COURT: The criminal justice system in this
11 county work s extremely slowly. I understand your point. Let's
12 go on.
13 BY MR. BRUNGARD:
14 Q. Mrs. McCloskey, has there been a time where Mrs.
15 Day has come to you after she has picked -- as soon as she has
16 picked the child up from Mrs. Karichner's and the child has been
17 red in the private area?
18 A. Yes.
19 Q. And your recommendation at that point was not for
20 the child t o go to the doctor?
21 A. After I interviewed the child and spoke with Judge
22 Williamson, rather than subjecting her to another physical exam,
23 yes.
24 Q. So, something, obviously, made the child red?
25 A. Yes.
66
1 Q. We agree that this child has been through plenty of
2 physical exams, all of which have been brought on by her mother.
3 Katie, apparently, gets along with her grandmother, gets along
4 with her father, is anxious and stressed. Don't you think you're
5 going to put more anxiety and more stress on this child by not
e
6 allowing this child to see her father?
e 7 A. That is why it's so important to cover that with
B therapy so that the therapist can address the issue of why there
A 9 is limited contact so that Katie doesn't feel any sense of guilt
10 for discussing what's happened or for not telling the truth about
11 what's happened. That's why the therapeutic component is so
12 critical. The other part is that I would not want to interfere
13 with the criminal investigation and put Katie under additional
to
h
i
14 er
ng
stress if she were with individuals who were encourag
15 not talk about the issues.
16 Q. Well, let me ask you about the psychological
17 therapy. Are we talking about someone other than you so that we
18 are going to introduce even another person into this situation?
19 A. Well, if the child is going to live primarily in
20 another area, that would be difficult for her to be transported
21 for weekly or twice a week sessions. So, I would recommend that
22 the therapist be in an area where the child is living primarily.
f? 23 Q. So, you're recommending -- even though you don't
24 want to take this child to a doctor because she has been through
25 enough, you're recommending that because she may be living

somewhere else that we should introduce another therapist?
A. Yes, because it's a long drive for the child. It's
my understanding it's approximately a three hour drive from the
mother's home. So, it would be a six hour drive for a one hour
therapy session to meet with me.
Q. But if she were here part of the time, as she has
been for the past several months, wouldn't you be able to see her
and we wouldn't have to introduce another therapist into this
situation?
A. If she were available in this area on a weekly
basis, I would be able to meet with her, yes.
Q. Has this child been under stress -- are you saying
that this child shouldn't see father at all until the criminal
investigation plays its course out?
A. She should have some contact with her father
because of the feelings of guilt and the grieving process, being
separated from him. My concern is that the contact until the
criminal investigation, as you said, plays itself out that the
contact be supervised.
Q. Do you believe that Mrs. Day is -- I'm talking
about Todd's mother. Do you believe that Mrs. Day is putting
Katie under some kind of pressure?
A. No. I can't say I have noted any indications of
that.
Q. As a matter of fact, isn't Mrs. Day turning to you

1 anytime something comes up before she would subject Katie to
2 that?
3 A. She has called, yes.
4 Q. On more than one occasion?
5 A. Yes.
6 Q. And, so, before she -- before Mrs. Day is afraid of
7 making a wrong move, she consults with you?
8 A. On the occasions of which I am aware, yes, she has
9 called.
10 THE COURT: Has Katie told you that her father did
11 anything inappropriate to her?
12 THE WITNESS: Her daddy -- she said that her daddy
13 had touc hed her. What she had indicated to me, though, was also
14 that Mommy touched her and two female cousins have touched her.
15 She also clearly related an incident in which a child by the name
16 of Cody touched her hiney, and we were able to confirm that that
17 incident did occur.
18 THE COURT: When she said her father touched her,
19 did she tell you what her father did?
20 THE WITNESS: No. She was unable to offer me any
21 addition al details, unlike the incident with Cody.
22 THE COURT: Mr. Brungard?
23 BY MR. B RUNGARD:
24 Q. How many times have you met with Katie?
25 A. Three for the investigative interview. There were

non-
rect
ve therapy sessions.
2 Q. During the non-directive therapy sessions, would
3 that incident have been -- would opportunity or would any type of
4 conversation or discussion take place about whether something
5 happened to her?
6 A. The possibility of it could have occurred was not a
7 direct interview. It was more to alleve any stress that she was
8 experiencing from having been interviewed so many times.

MS. KARICHNER: From 9:00 to 3:00, Monday and
Tuesday; 9:00 to 5:00, Wednesday; and 9:00 to 3:00 on Thursday
and Friday.
THE COURT: Who watches the child when you're
working?
MS. KARICHNER: I have her in Jack and Jill Day
Care because I lost my job at E.D.S. because of everything that
was going on with this, me having to take off to come up here a
bring Katie up; and, also, I got a letter --
THE COURT: You know, Miss Karichner, that's the
kind of comment that just drives me crazy when I'm talking to
you.
MS. KARICHNER: What's that?
THE COURT: That I have been through with this case
from the very beginning. Nothing happens in your life, Miss
Karichner, that is your fault. Everything is caused by other
people. It's just amazing.
Where are you working now?
MS. KARICHNER: I work at Eckerd Pharmacy as a
pharmacy technician.
THE COURT: Ms. Urbano?
MS. URHANO: Katie has been accepted to a Head
e
71
1 Start program, pre-school. The registration is, I believe, on
2 the 9th; and in order to be eligible for that program she needs
3 to be there from Monday through Thursday every week. They will
4 not take her on an every other week basis. They will not take
5 her on a partial basis. I wanted the Court to be aware of that.
6 Ms. Karichner would like her to be in a pre-school, if possible.
7 THE COURT: And that has to be done by the 9th?
8 MS. URBANO: Katie needs to be there on the 9th for
9 registration if she is going to be allowed into the program, yes.
10 MR. BRUNGARD: Your Honor, may I point out that
11 this is a continuing of Miss Karichner doing things without
12 consulting with Father and continuing to, basically, ignore Court
13 Orders.
14 THE COURT: I understand that. This is a very
15 difficult and unusual case.
16 MR. BRUNGARD: Yes, I understand that.
17 MS. URBANO: Your Honor --
18 THE COURT: I think there's no question, Mr.
19 Brungard, that something has happened to the child physically.
20 The physical reports indicate somebody is placing something in
21 her vagina. The reports also suggest the child has, on a number
22 of occasions, told people that her father does bad things to
23 her. It's difficult for me to believe that the Commonwealth
24 could secure a conviction in a criminal case, but at some point

this case, over the next year, would develop into a determination

as to who is to have primary custody anyway absent these sexual
allegations.
Is your client still living with Mr. Noreika?
MS. URBANO: Yes, Your Honor. He moved back in
after the last Court Order.
THE COURT: All right. I'll try to have an Order
out by Tuesday morning at the latest. When is the child suppos
to be back?
MR. BRUNGARD: It's Wednesday night, I believe.
Tuesday -- Labor Day. Monday is Labor Day.
THE COURT: What time is the child supposed to be
there for day care?
MS. KARICHNER: 2:30.
THE COURT: On Wednesday.
MS. KARICHNER: I brought the paper with me.
THE COURT: All right. That's all for today.

PETITION FOR VISITATION
PENDING OUTCOME OF CRIMINAL. MATTER
AND NOW COMES the Defendant, Todd William Day, by and through his attorney,
Randy P. Brungard, and respectfully represents the following:
1. This Court entered a Custody Order on September 4, 1998 granting partial custody
privileges to the Defendant. A copy of that Final Order is attached hereto and marked as
Defendant's Exhibit "1".
2. An Amendment to that Final Order, explaining same, was filed on October 7, 1998. A
copy of that Amendment is attached hereto and marked as Defendant's Exhibit "2".
3. A Criminal Complaint was then filed naming Todd William Day as a perpetrator of
various offenses against his minor daughter, that is currently working its way through the Court
system.
4. When the Defendant was informally arraigned by District Justice Bossert, one of the
conditions of bail was that he have "no contact with the victim". Those bail conditions were set
on October 28, 1998.
5. Since the October 28, 1998 date, neither the Defendant nor his parents, who were
supervising his custody privileges under the existing Custody Order, have been allowed by the
Plaintiff to see the minor child.
6. It is requested that this Court enter an Order allowing both the Defendant and the
Defendant's parents to ? ave at the very minimum, supervised visitation of said child pending
either further Order of this Court or a final resolution on the underlying criminal charge.
7. A copy of this petition is also being cross-filed under the criminal court term and
number, which is NO: 423-98.

from its inception. In July of 1997 Mother moved from Clinton County making it difficult, since
Father works a swing shift, to enter a workable Custody Order. On December 33, 1997, primary
physical custody was granted to Nfother With Father to have partial custody consistent with his
days off. Following a referral to Robert Meacham, a licensed psychologist appointed by the
Court. an Order was entered on Febntary 35, 1993, granting each parent physical custody on a
seven-day rotating basis. Almost immediately following the entry of that Order and
contemporaneous with her beginning a relationship with her current paramour, Mather began to
complain about alleged sexual abuse of the child. Without dwelling at length on such
allegations, the Court is satisfied from the various medical reports received and the testimony of
Trooper Kenneth Davis and Trooper Joseph Cavanaugh this date that at least a prima facie case
exists warranting a limitation upon the time Father spends with his daughter. Whoever is

C
If the problem of alleged sexual abuse were not involved, the Court would still be
required to make a determination with respect to primary physical custody when the child begins
school in 1999. Based upon the state of the record ut this time, the Court is satisfied that the best
interests of the child would be to reside primarily with Mother based upon the following factors:
a. Father's work schedule makes it difficult for him to provide child care.
b. The Court has previously expressed a preference for a two-parent family.
Under the circumstances, therefore, the Court is prepared to enter a Final Order which
may be subject to further modification pending the resolution of any criminal charges against
Father.
NOW, this 4th day of September, 1998, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:
1. The parties shall have shared legal custody of their minor child, Katie Marie Day,
bom April 20, 1994, and shall be subject to the Standard Conditions Regarding Shared Custody
and Partial Physical Custody Orders dated December 1, 1996, a copy of which is attached hereto
and incorporated herein by reference.
2. Primary physical custody shall be with ;vlother subject to the following special
conditions:
a. Mother shall maintain telephone service to her home in order to guarantee timely
communication between the parents.

Agency or any other agency to whom this matter is referred in order that the child might
receive appropriate counseling.
e. Mother shall refrain from taking the child to any counselor, psychologist, social
services worker, or other third party without specific written permission of the Court or
Children and Youth, it being the intent of the Court that all counseling be conducted by
such professionals as may be designated by Pamela McCloskey of Children and Youth.
3. Father shall have partial custody privileges as follows:
a. Every twenty-eight (23) days when Father has four (4) days off work over a
weekend.

Re: Karichner v. Day
No. 763-97 (Misc.)
-No. 330-97 (Misc.1
Date: January 28, 1998
As you know, by way of a Court Order dated December 23, 1997,
this Examiner was asked to perform psychological evaluations in this visitation/
custody situation. Toward that end, interviews were held on December 29, 1997,
and January 28, 1998. As a result of those interviews, the natural parents have
come to an agreement regarding visitation/custody of the minor child involved,
Katie.
Essentially, the parents have agreed to a shared legal custody situation
whereby the child spends time in the home of each parent on a seven-day rotating
basis. This "50/50" custody situation will change slightly every twenty-eight days
to accommodate Todd Day's swing shift work schedule. Changes will be made so
that the child is able to spend time with her father during the seven-day period each
month when he has four consecutive days off. The parents have agreed to notify
each other well in advance of a schedule change to negotiate subtle changes in
schedule.
During the seven-day period of custody, each parent is to make sure
that the child has two phone calls during that period with the other parent. The
reasons for making these calls were discussed in interview. Vacations or work

Memorandum
January 28, 1998
Page Two
shut-downs will be negotiated, with respect to visitation, by the parties involved.
Unless otherwise agreed upon, the child will spend half of each major holiday/
birthday with oach parent.
Transportation arrangements for visitation are to continue as outlined
in Paragraph 6 of the Interim Order dated December 23, 1997.
Both parents agree that by the fall of 1999, when the child is
scheduled to enter kindergarten, they will make every effort to make a mutually
agreeable decision regarding custody. This Examiner has offered himself as a
mediator toward working toward that process in a way which is not conflict-ridden.
The parties have agreed that Todd will utilize his natural parents as the
primary babysitter for Katie when he works and she is in his custody. They have
also agreed that Betty Henry shall act as the primary babysitter for Katie when she
is in the natural mother's custody. Any change in these sitting arrangements will
be negotiated by agreement between the parents. Possible changes in babysitting
arrangements will include Day Care, Head Start, or other types of pre-school
service enrollment.
A copy of this Memorandum is being sent to the attorneys for review
with their clients, and it is suggested that the attorneys communicate with the
Court regarding the possibility of having this agreement worked into an Order.
I would like to thank both of the individuals involved in this situation
for being willing to engage in communication and decision-making which is clearly
in the best interest of Katie.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

This Court order states that I was to authorize therapeutic
servies for Katie; however, currently Katie is receiving
therapeutic services at the Hershey Medical Center. Today I
received a request from Ms. Urbano for the authorization of a
psychiatric evaluation of Katie. I signed and mailed the
authorization today so that the services that the Hershey Medical
Center's staff has indicated is necessary for Katie can be provided
as quickly as possible. Because Katie is currently receiving
appropriate therapeutic services at the Hershey Medical Center and
therefore is no longer my client and because I do not want services
for Katie to be delayed, I am asking to be removed from the
responsibility of authorizing therapeutic services for Katie. Now
that she has established a therapeutic relationship with another
service provider, that individual should have the freedom and
responsibility to develop and implement the most effective
treatment plan for Katie. I am confident in the Hershey Medical
Center's staff to provide such therapeutic services and would
request that I no longer be in the role of authorization of said
services.
Please call me if we need to discuss this further.

RE: Katie Day
Court Order No. 763-97 MISC.
& 330-97 MISC.
Attached is a copy of Katie Day's psychiatric evaluation which
was completed on February 8, 1999 by Nancy Yoanidis, M.D. and
Ajanta Goswami, M.D. of the Hershey Medical Center. It appears
that Katie is exhibiting extremely aggressive behavior at this time
and at a level that is more intense than she had previously
demonstrated.
I would also note that in the second paragraph of page 2, Ms.
Karichner reported the possibility of paternal neglect and physical
abuse due to bruises and that CYS is currently involved. The
bruises were investigated and were unfounded and CYS is not
currently involved.
In paragraph three on page 2 it is also noted that Ms.
Karichner did not involve Katie in the follow-up treatment that was
recommended by Susan Lane, Ph.D. due to "multiple logistical
reasons". I have not been given a release from Ms. Karichner to
contact Dr. Lane to confirm if Ms. Karichner began Katie's
individual therapy again.
GARDEN BUILDING, 232 EAST MAIN ST., LOCK HAVEN, PA 17745
In the last paragraph of page 2, it is noted that visitation
with her father stopped in October 1998. Mrs. Jane Day indicated
to me that visitation with her and Katie's grandfather stopped at
that time as well.
If you would like to discuss this evaluation further, please
call me.

Thank you for your referral of Katie Day for further evaluation of behavioral
disturbance.
As you know, Katie Day is a 4-year-old female residing with her biological mother
and her mother's paramour in Newville, PA. She attends Jack and Jill Head Stan. History
is provided by Katie's mother, Shelley Karichner who was deemed and adequate historian.
The Pediatric Behavior Scale and parent questionnaires filled out by her was also reviewed
as part of today's evaluation.
Katie's mother reports a history of persistent behavioral disturbance to include
increased motor activity, easy distractibility, impulsiveness with low frustration tolerance.
Katie apparently requires supervision 24 hours a day to stay out of trouble. In addition,
Katie reportedly is aggressive towards mother and mother's paramour, as well as her peers.
She will bite and hit with minimal provocation. She tends to frequently lie to get attention,
destroys property and has a history of being mean to a pet kitten, but no other conduct traits
are reported. She is described to be generally oppositional and defiant and when redirection
is attempted, Katie will often respond with. "Don't make me bite you." She engages in
significant splitting between her primary care givers. She is bossy with adults and peers.
Her mood is reported to be irritable and cranky since her infancy. Her appetite tends to cycle
with her GE reflux. Mother denies any other vegetative symptoms.
Re: Katie Day
Page 2
Katie does exhibit some separation anxiety and has reported fears of mother leaving.
Mother believes this fear is due to biological father telling her that mother wouldn't come
back. Katie has also engaged in some somatization i.e., belly ache to get out of going to
daycare in the morning. Nightmares used to be more frequent, occurring on a daily basis i.e.,
everyday at 3:00 a.m., but now occurs less than once a week. Mother denies any history of
tics, hallucinations, or stcreotypies. or sexually inappropriate behavior reports.
Katie has witnessed domestic violence between biomom and biofather. Mother
reports that Katie was sexually abused by her biofather between 2.5 and d years old. This
was reported in April 1998. Evaluation done by a primary care practitioner substantiated the
sexual abuse. Charges are currently filed against the father. Mother reports that Katie had
told the District Attorney that "Daddy hurts me" and has refused on numerous occasions to
go see her father and would start to cry when thinking about visiting with father. Mother also
questions the possibility of paternal neglect and physical abuse, as there were bruises found
on Katie's back in the past. Mother reports that Children and Youth are currently involved.
Past psychiatric history is significant for evaluation by Susan Lane. Ph.D. around
Christmas 1998. During the evaluation, the mother was given several behavioral
modification suggestions. Follow-up treatment was difficult for mother to pursue for
multiple logistical reasons. Mother is ready to restart the individual work with Dr. Lane
again. Medication history includes Risperdal l mg. q.h.s. for the past 15 days, prescribed by
the primary care practitioner to help with sleep and behavior. Mother notes that sleep is
much improved with the Risperdal.
Katie is the product of a gestation significant for spotting throughout gestation and
biofather hitting mother in the stomach during pregnancy. Mother is unclear as to the due
date. Katie's birth weight was 8 pounds 5 ounces and she was initially cyanotic requiring
oxygen supplementation. She was however able to go home with mom. Developmentally,
her milestones were on time, although she continued to wet her bed at night especially at
biological father's home. During infancy she had a history of apnea resulting in multiple
cyanotic episodes at 6 months of age. The GI rcflux was thought to exacerbate any apnea
and a partial Nissen was performed which seemed to resolve the apnea spells. However, GE
reflux has returned. She is scheduled fora pH probe after the evaluation today. In addition
to psychiatric medications. Katie is currently receiving Propulsid. Zantac. Lactulose, as well
as nebulizer treatments q. 3-6 hours since October 1998 that includes Intal. Atrovent. and
Albuterol. No known drug allergies are reported.
The patient's living environment has been rather inconsistent due to multiple custody
changes after separation of biofather and biomother 2 years ago. In addition, in April 1998
the judge ordered mother's paramour out of the home and changed father's visits to
supervised visits with grandmother every other weekend until the issue of sexual abuse was
further resolved. In September, mother's paramour was aloud to return home and visit with
Katie. Father was stopped in October 1998 by the court.
Re: Katie Day
Page 3
Family history is significant for biological father requiring speech therapy, having
significant difficulty with anger management, alcohol abuse, and possible motor tics. There
is also a history of ADHD in both maternal and paternal side of the family.
Upon mental status examination. Katie presented as a cleanly groomed young girl
appearing her stated age. She admitted to biting, kicking, and yelling rather gleefully but
often tended to reply. "I don't know, to many questions regarding her behaviors." Her
speech was of normal rate, rhythm, and volume with mild articulation difficulties. Hcr mood
was happy and her affect was broad and bright. She denied any suicidal ideation, although
she did report that sometimes she felt like cunning away. She denied any hallucinations and
did not appear to be responding to internal stimuli during the interview. Her attention span
was good. Her thought processes appeared clear, coherent, goal-directed, and appropriate
in content. Her intelligence appeared to be of average range and her insight and judgement
were deemed limited. She reported that her real daddy "is bad... he did bad stuff to me," but
she could not recall or say what dad actually did. At the same time she reported missing her
visits with him. She denied any physical abuse. In terms of her wishes, she wished for a
bike, a swimming pool, and wanted to be a ballerina when she grew up.
Katie's DSM-IV diagnosis is as follows:
Axis I - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, combined type
Adjustment disorder with mixed disturbance of emotion and
conduct Rule out Oppositional Defiant Disorder
Rule out Past Traumatic Stress Disorder
Sexual Abuse of Child
Axis U - None
Axis III - GE reflux
Axis IV - Sexual abuse, multiple changes of caregivers, pending legal issues
Axis V - GAF = 45
RGCOMUNfENDATIONS:
I. Given the long history of attentional and behavioral difficulties our first
recommendation would be for Katie to be given a trial of a
psychostimulant medication like Ritalin. We would suggest weaning her
off the Ritalin.. If aggression, anxiety or sleep difficulties exacerbate
Katie would be considered for an axiolytic medication or a mood
stabilizer. Medication management would be provided in the mood
stabilization clinic at Hershey Medical Center.
2. Katie would continue with individual psychotherapy with Dr. Lane at
Hershey Medical Center in addressing issues of abuse, adjustment to
Re: Katie Day
Page d
multiple care givers and in developing a behavior modification program
in dealing with Katie's behavioral difficulties.
3. Katie would also be involved in a self-esteem group and the mother will
be offered a parent support/training group via the mood stabilization
clinic,
The above evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment recommendations were discussed in
detail with Katie's mother who agrees to the above.
Thank you for this most interesting referral. If you have any questions or concerns
please feel free to give me a call at Hershey Medical Center.
Sincerely yours.

On February 16. 1999, this Court directed Pamela McCloskey, Licensed Psychologist, to
secure a report from the child's treating psychiatrist regarding the effect on the child or the
child's treatment if partial custody privileges were reinstated to either Father or the paternal
grandparents. The Court has received a report from Nancy Yoanidis, M.D., resident psychiatrist
at the Hershey Medical Center, dated February 8, 1999, which, unfortunately, does not address
those questions. Additionally, the report of Dr. Yoanidis suggests Mother has failed to pursue
follow-up treatment for the child "for multiple logistical reasons."
NOW, this ISth day of April, 1999, IT IS IIEREBY ORDERED as follows:
