1. Plaintiff is Helen McCartney, an adult individual and
the natural Mother, who currently resides at 460 Fairground
Avenue, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17013.
2. Co-Defendants are Sheril and Charles Williams, who
currently reside at 12 Conestoga Road, Bethel Park, Allegheny
County, Pennsylvania, 15210 and are the parents of Co-Defendant
Duane Williams (hereinafter "The Williams").
3, Co-Defendant Duane Williams, an adult individual and
natural son of Co-Defendants Sheril and Charles Williams, whose
current address is unknown (hereinafter "Father").
4. Plaintiff seeks custody of the following children:

The children were not born out of wedlock.

!
The children are presently in the custody of Sheril and
Charles Williams, who currently reside at 12 Conestoga Road,
Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, 15210.
During the past five years, the children resided with the
following persons and at the following address(es):
Personlsl Addresses Datelsl
Mother #1 Bank Street 1989-Sept.
Vanderbilt, PA 15486 1992
Mother Main Street Sept. 1992-
Vanderbilt, PA 15486 Dec. 1992
Charles & Sheri! 12 Conestoga Road Dee, 1992-
Williams Bethel Park, PA 15210 present time
The Mother of the children is Helen McCartney, who
currently resides at 460 Fairground Avenue,
Pennsylvania,
She is married.
Carlisle,
The Father of the children, is' Duane J. Williams. The
natural Father's current address is unknown.
Father's marital status is also unknown,
5, Plaintiff has not participated as a party or witness, or
in another capacity, in other litigation concerning the custody
of the children in this or another court.
Plaintiff has no information of a custody proceeding
concerning the children pending in a court of this Commonwealth.
Plaintiff does not know of a person not a party to the
proceedings, who has physical custody of the children or claims
to have physical custody or visitation rights with respect to
the children.
6. The best interests and permanent welfare of the children
will be se~ved by granting the relief requested because:
a). The children have expressed a desire to return to
custody of their natural Mother:
b), The children resided with Plaintiff until approximately
fifteen months ago when Mother temporarily allowed the children
to reside with the Williams, with the express understanding that
the children would be returned to her upon her request,
c). Plaintiff allowed this temporary situation to occur
because she was experiencing extreme financial difficulty at the
time, and she did not intend in any way to relinquish permanent
custody of the children,
d), The Williams have repeatedly refused to return the
children to Plaintiff, despite Plaintiff's repeated requests
that they do so and in the absence of any court order granting
Defendants custody of either or both of the children.
e). Until the time when the children went to live
temporarily with the Co-Defendants Sheril and Charles Williams
approximately one year ago, the children resided with their
step-siblings: Brian K. Vacula (age 16) and Eric Diener (age 10)
and as a consequence of Defendant's actions, the children have
been wrongly deprived of their companionship.
f). The Williams have steadfastly refused to allow
Plaintiff physical access to the children, thereby depriving
them of the nurture and companionship of their natural Mother.
g), Williams have repeatedly denied all but very limited
communication with the children, thereby depriving them of
nurturing contact with their natural Mother and thereby
facilitating harmful estrangement from her,
h). It is in the best interest of the children that they be
reunited with their natural Mother and the custody resume with
her,
i). Plaintiff is fully capable of providing for, caring
for, and nurturing the children and desires to do so.
j). It is in the best interests of the minor children to be
reunited with their step-siblings.
7. Each parent has not been terminated and the persons who
have physical custody of the children have been named as parties
to this action. All other persons, named below, who are known
to have or claim a right to custody or visitation of the
children will be given notice of the pendency of this action and
the right to intervene:
Name
Address(es)
Basis of Claim
NONE
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully roquest that this
Honorable Court enter and Order granting custody of the
children.
