Gold Alert Issued for Frankford Woman

by Stephen Bilkis

A New York Family Lawyer says a Gold Alert has been issued for a missing woman from Frankford. She had been missing from her home for a few days before her absence was reported say police. The woman is only 23 years old and was last seen in her home. She is still believed to be missing and in the area.

The Gold Alert is something new that is issued when an adult goes missing. The Gold Alert is similar to the process that is used when an Amber Alert goes out for a child. The only difference is in the name and what it refers to. The Gold Alerts are issued when the safety of the adult might be or is suspected to be in jeopardy. They do not usually issue a Gold Alert if a person has just left or went away on their own.

The family of the missing woman says they fear for her safety because of her mental status. The New York Criminal Lawyer reported that they have no evidence or any leads to where the woman may have gone or if she went with another person. All parties involved believe the woman left voluntarily, and there were no signs of a struggle or an intruder in the home before she left. There was no mention if any valuables or personal items were left behind. Police who think they might have seen the woman are encouraged to call the police with information.

San Antonio Boy Returned to Mother, Reports New York Family Lawyer

by Stephen Bilkis

An 11-year-old boy was removed from a school bus in San Antonio in October of 2009, according to a New York Family Lawyer, by Bexar County constables acting on a court order. The boy’s father was scheduled to be in court the following Monday, but neither the boy or his father were seen again until June of 2010.

A French court subsequently granted custody of the boy to his mother. The father will face charges of kidnapping, aggravated perjury and interfering with child custody, sources told a New York Family Laywer.

A district attorney is attempting to extradite the father, but the district attorney’s office expects some resistance from the French government. The First Assistant District Attorney says the French do not generally extradite their own citizens. New York Family Lawyers have explained that unless the father should return to the United States or Mexico, there is nothing further than can do to him.

School’s Laptop’s Rigged to Spy On Families Reports New York Family Lawyers

by Stephen Bilkis

What should the families involved in a situation where school officials are using laptops to spy on them? It seems that we make jokes about Big Brother quite often but in this case, it is more like Spying Schools. New York Family Lawyers can help the family’s sort out exactly what has occurred in this particular situation.

The laptops were basically school-issued equipment but were rigged with web cams without the knowledge of the students or parents. And, the officials at the lower Merion School District declined to comment on the accusations. It seems that many of the families were observed in compromising situations and obviously are unhappy.

The students in this school were angry enough to revolt by putting tape on the laptop’s camera and microphones. The sophomore students taped up the computers and seem to be simply disgusted that the school officials were even trying to watch his every move. The cameras were thought to have recorded various family members as they undressed. New York Family Lawyers know as well as the students, parents and school officials that this is simply not appropriate.

Fifteen Pound Four-Year-Old Girl Found Dead, According to New York City Family Lawyer

by Stephen Bilkis

A four-year-old girl, severely malnourished, was found dead in a dirty Brooklyn apartment. There was evidence that she had been tied to her bed, New York Family Lawyers have learned.

The little girl weighed a scant 15 pounds. The bruises and marks on her ankles were indications that she had been tied with twine, police sources told a New York Family Lawyer. The cause of the child’s death is currently unknown, leaving police unsure if the case is one of horrific neglect or merely the tragic end of a child who had never been very healthy to begin with.

The Administration for Children’s Services had hired an outside agency to help the family, who was having trouble caring for the girl, but according to a New York Family Lawyer, the organization had failed to live up to its obligations. “My wife is a wonderful mother. I’ve never seen her hurt her kids,” said the girl’s father, 30, who is currently separated. “It’s hard for me to believe she would do anything like that.”

Court Rules Against Gay Divorce in Texas

by Stephen Bilkis

In what may seem to be a strange twist of legal interpretation, a Texas court of appeals has ruled that gay couples who were legally married in other states, where gay marriage is legal, may not divorce in Texas – a state where gay marriage is not recognized by the law, according to a New York Family Lawyer.

The 5th Texas Court of Appeleas made the ruling, which stated that a Dallas judge did not have jurisdiction to grant a divorce to two men who lived in Dallas, but were married in Massachusetts, said a New York Family Lawyer.

The same judge also made the ruling that Texas could not limit marriage to being only between a man and a woman. The appeals court disagreed, saying that the Texas laws against same-sex marriage do not violate the Constitution.

Mistrial Ruled In A Case Involving Children’s Services says New York Family Lawyer

by Stephen Bilkis

A civil trial in Staten Island involving Children’s Services and top federal lawyer was ruled a mistrial. She indicated that Children’s Services entered her home in Staten Island and conducted an illegal search of the home.

The jury in this case didn’t feel that the cps or caseworkers were acted irresponsibly but did award $100,000 to the woman. New York Family Lawyers report that the woman refused to allow the caseworkers into her home when they came searching for her brother’s three young children over a year ago. Brooklyn Federal Judge David Trager said it appears that the jury thinks that the city should foot the bill on this one.

Massachusetts authorities were investigating allegations of child abuse and thought that the children might be in the home, however, the out of state court order was not valid in New York. And, as it all turned out, the children were not in her home. New York Family Lawyers may be needed to help with the details of this case especially since children are involved.
