threatened to crash them into the next tree he came
upon and drove erratically, speeding up as if to crash
into the car in front of them. Once they arrived home,
the defendant physically restrained the plaintiff from
leaving and then went outside and ripped wires from the

defendant who shoved her into the bedroom, causing her
to lose her balance and fall. When the plaintiff'S
daughter intervened to get the defendant off of her
mother, the defendant slapped the child in the face
saying, "I'm going to bust her mouth wide open."
d. Approximately monthly, the defendant kicks the
plaintiff's son in the buttocks and shoves him, slaps
the plaintiff's daughter in the mouth, and restrains
the plaintiff from leaving the residence.
6. On or about September 22, 1995, the plaintiff and the
two minor children left their residence at 3780 Lot 12, Spring
Road, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, in order to
