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. Christopher Robert can be seen at http://users.mwci.net/~winfonet/forum/rossi.htm. Look for future posts from CRTF and by the way, I am Christopher�s daddy.
