Mother has an extensive history of perpetrating domestic violence. The Carlisle
Police Department reported to Grandparents that there have been over 32 calls over
the past two and one-half years to Mother's residence for domestic violence calls.
Mother, showed up at Grandparents' residence in September 2004 under the influence
of drugs and began screaming and yelling at Grandparents.
Mother stripped off all her clothing and ran through the yard, naked, screaming at
Grandparents while the child witnessed this behavior.
Mother was incarcerated on approximately December 7, 2004 for one and one-half
weeks after hitting Grandmother with her vehicle.
Criminal Charges have been filed including simple assault, aggravated assault, and
driving with suspended license.
The incident occurred when Mother tried to take the child from Grandparents' care
while under the influence of drugs.
Mother struck Grandmother with her vehicle, and ran a red light with the child
screaming in the front seat; the child was not in a car seat or even belted in.
Mother was just released from prison on approximately December 17, 2004 and went
to the Carlisle Police Station to seek assistance in securing the child from
Grandparents.
The officer on duty recommended that Mother allow the child to stay with
Grandparents and then contacted Grandparents to warn them of her behavior.
The officer advised Grandparents to go to Children and Youth or an attorney to get an
emergency Order to prevent the return of child to Mother.
Grandparents met with Children and Youth Services, Elizabeth Browning, who
advised that CYS could not take any action at this time because the child was
currently in a safe place, but advised them to seek an emergency Order of Court to
protect the child.
26. Father is currently incarcerated at the Cumberland County Prison for dealing drugs,
theft, and driving under a suspended license and not expected to be released until
May 2005.

their care and restrain the child against her will.

of the child.
29. Grandparents fear that the child will be harmed if Mother obtains custody of the
child.
30. A copy of this Petition was mailed to Mother at her last known address and Father at
the Cumberland County Prison by regular U.S. Mail on December 21, 2004.
WHEREFORE, Petitioners request your Honorable Court to enter an Emergency Order
granting Petitioners sole legal and primary physical custody of the Child until a hearing can be
held on this petition. Following a hearing, Petitioners pray that this court enter an Order granting
them physical and legal custody of the Child until further Order of Court.
