New York State needs some drastic changes in Joint Custody Laws.
Christopher Robert Nguyen is a 2 1/2 year old boy that was reported to
C.P.S. when he was only 30 days old. After a year of supervision, the
mother was arrested for prostitution and endangering the welfare of a
minor. The mother was locking one year old Christopher in a car while
she performed acts of prostitution in a hair salon. The Suffolk County
District Attorney allowed the charges of prostitution to be Plea
Bargained to disorderly conduct even though it was her second offense.
The charges of endangering the welfare of a minor were dismissed
provided she pleas guilty in Family Court. For a guilty plea to
charges that she had locked a one year old boy in a car for eighty
minutes, she received 10 hours of counseling, she was ordered to
attend Parenting classes and she was to remain under C.P.S.
supervision for one year.

The Classes were never attended. The counselor was never visited  and
after four months of supervision the mother disappeared with the
child. It gets worse than that. In the first month of this
supervision, the child received a broken femur well on a joint
custodial visit with the mother. Her story is that he was left in the
house alone by a baby sitter while she attended parenting classes. The
Doctors say the type of fracture is very unlikely to happen during a
fall. C.P.S. used their emergency powers to give the father Temporary
Sole Custody while an investigation was conducted but failed to file
the proper papers with the court. The court order the father to return
to the joint custodial agreement that was established before the
child�s leg was broken. C.P.S. then filed it�s charges of abuse
against the mother.

Three days before the trial was to begin and only two weeks after the
body cast was removed from Christopher�s leg, Mai Hoang Nguyen
disappeared. The court was very slow to react. Taking a full month to
give the father Temporary Sole Custody so that he could even file a
missing persons report. The Suffolk County District Attorney�s office
will not file any criminal charges because of Joint Custody. The
mother has deprived the child of the proper medical attention he
deserves. She has literally spit in the faces of C.P.S. and the Family
Court System. She has withheld the child from seeing his father for
five months. And there  are still no actions being taken to help this
boy or the thousands just like him.

New York needs changes that will help save the lives of little girls
and boys. The Christopher Robert Trust Fund is being established to
help find little Chris. But we also see that there are many others who
need help. For now we wish to limit ourselves to Suffolk County, New
York. If you know of someone in this area that needs help or if you
know someone that can help, please have them E-Mail me at bob@bic.com.

daddy.
