My husband and I got together in January of 2007, when we had started seeing each other he had a child with an ex-girlfriend in 2006. The mother took my husband to court for custody she got full custody because my husband had a drug history, but he had supervised visitation threw the court.
Then later in the year of 2006 the mother of child and her new boyfriend were drinking and selling drugs out of her home with my husband's son there and her other two kids from her marriage. She had came to my in-laws during the day and left the baby in his car seat with all of his belongings on their front step in the rain because she want him anymore.
A few hours later she had called my mother in-law telling she had called social services telling them she no longer had her children and that they were on their way to get the baby from their house, and not to let CPS take the baby. When my husband had gotten there from his surgery appointment CPS was already taking the baby.
Few weeks later my husband got court papers to go to court for his son, he went and the mother lost all custody rights. When he went to court Judge lawliss had filed charges of child neglect and child abandonment since he wasn't there when the mother dropped off the baby. My husband was also charged with violation of court order because the child was at his mothers when he got home which was his place of residence at the time.
However, since her boyfriend had the same build as my husband the court tried to pin the drug selling out of her home in front of the kids on him. He took it to trial and proved his case and it was thrown out courts had told my husband that the baby would remain in foster care and he would see him twice a week supervised at social services.
In March of 2007 my husband was sentenced to 15 days in jail to end his probation, also in the same day he was sentenced by Lawliss to 75 days for the charges filed in family court, with the understanding that when he got out the court and CPS would work with him to get custody of the baby,but with good time my husband only did 75 days total between both courts.
In June of 2007 my husband was released and had to go to court the following day, when he went to family court Lawliss told him that he never had any intentions of giving him custody. And Lawliss gave my husband an ultimatum of either doing another 120 days of jail with no good time counted or signing papers to terminate his rights, and if he took the 120 days lawliss would terminate his rights any way since the foster parents wanted to adopt the baby anyways. So with the odds up against him my husband ended signing the papers, his lawyer had told him it was the
best choice given the ultimatum he was given.
With everything that my husband went threw to try and get his son was never taken into consideration so therefor we feel that his rights as a parent where not protected. Since then my husband and I have two beautiful children and he is a great father, he has been clean since we have been together. With all of the court's concerns about his living arrangements and the relationships he has had in the past are now no longer an issue. We have been married for almost 2 years and I have a clean background if we get know for a fact that his parental rights were not protected and if so how to go about bringing this back to court we do so even if it took every cent we had. My husband thinks of his son everyday and we wish we knew what to do so he could be home with us and our kids as a family.

TEXIDOR The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Michael TEXIDOR, Appellant. -- March 04, 2010 Before: CARDONA, P.J., PETERS, SPAIN, STEIN and GARRY, JJ. Marcy I. Flores, Warrensburg, for appellant.Andrew J. Wylie, District Attorney, Plattsburgh (Chantelle Schember of counsel), for respondent. Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Clinton County (McGill, J.), rendered April 9, 2008, upon a verdict convicting defendant of the crimes of sexual abuse in the first degree (three counts), sexual abuse in the second degree (three counts), endangering the welfare of a child (four counts), aggravated sexual abuse in the second degree, criminal sexual act in the first degree and criminal sexual act in the second degree. Defendant resided with his girlfriend-the victim's mother (hereinafter the mother)-and her two young children in the Town of Plattsburgh, Clinton County. The victim (born in 1992) resided permanently with her father in Connecticut, but often visited her mother and younger siblings in Clinton County during summers and holiday vacations. The victim alleged that, beginning in the summer of 2003, defendant began to sexually abuse her during such visits and that the abuse continued and progressively escalated until the summer of 2006. The victim finally disclosed the abuse in May 2007 to her then-boyfriend, who, in turn, reported it to the victim's father, resulting in the filing of a police report and defendant's arrest. Defendant was subsequently charged by a 14-count indictment with various sex crimes and was convicted after a jury trial of all but one of the charges-three counts each of sexual abuse in the first degree and sexual abuse in the second degree, four counts of endangering the welfare of a child, and one count each of aggravated sexual abuse in the second degree, criminal sexual act in the first degree and criminal sexual act in the second degree. Following his convictions, defendant was sentenced to, among other things, an aggregate prison term of 21 years. Defendant now appeals. Initially, County Court correctly denied defendant's motion, following a Huntley hearing, to suppress his oral statements to Child Protective Services (hereinafter CPS) caseworker Lisa Begor. Begor interviewed defendant at the Clinton County jail in June 2007-approximately one month after defendant's arrest-in connection with her CPS investigation. There is no record evidence that a member of law enforcement was with Begor at the time of the interview and at no point during the interview did defendant request that his attorney be present. Under these circumstances, County Court properly determined that defendant's statements to Begor were not the product of interrogation by a “ ‘public servant engaged in law enforcement activity or by a person then acting under his [or her] direction or in cooperation with him [or her]’ “ (People v. Wilhelm, 34 A.D.3d 40, 44 [2006], quoting CPL 60.45[2][b][ii]; see People v. Velasquez, 68 N.Y.2d 533, 537 [1986]; People v. Knapp, 57 N.Y.2d 161, 173-174 [1982], cert denied 462 U.S. 1106 [1983]; People v. Greene, 306 A.D.2d 639, 640-641 [2003], lv denied 100 N.Y.2d 594 [2003] ). We are also unpersuaded by defendant's challenge to the convictions as unsupported by legally sufficient evidence or against the weight of the credible evidence. The victim testified in great detail regarding defendant's sexual abuse of her. According to her testimony, the first incident occurred around July 4, 20031 when, as she was watching a movie on the bed in her mother's bedroom, defendant touched her breasts underneath her clothing and put his finger inside her vagina, causing her to experience “shocking pain.” Although she tried to get away, defendant held her down with his arm. The victim testified that defendant also touched her breasts on other occasions during the summer of 2003. Additionally, later in the summer of 2003, while the victim was lying on her stomach on the couch watching television alone, defendant sat down on the couch and placed her head on his lap. Defendant then put his hand on top of the victim's hand and made the victim rub his p***s on the outside of his clothing for a few minutes, causing it to become erect. The victim testified that she was not able to pull her hand away. The victim further testified that, during the summer of 2005, defendant touched her breasts on the inside and outside of her clothing and that she was unable to get away from defendant when this occurred. Additionally, one day during the victim's visit in the summer of 2006, she was watching television on the couch when defendant entered the room, sat down next to her, put his hand up her shirt and underneath her bra, “squeez[ed][her] b***s” and then put his finger in her vagina, causing her to feel a “very shocking pain.” The victim testified that defendant then pretended to drop a pencil, bent down toward the floor, changed the position of the victim's pajama bottoms and underwear, spread her legs apart-despite her attempt to resist-and licked the inside and outside of her vagina for several minutes. At the time of this incident, the victim's sisters were in their bedroom and her mother was cooking dinner approximately 10 feet away. Defendant allegedly stopped touching the victim when he heard her mother walking toward the couch. Shortly thereafter, the victim went to the bathroom, where she saw blood on her underwear and pajamas.you put my kid in harms way he was also in prison in NYC for drugs but Tim lawless said it didn't happen here so he was a good man hows that you need to go judge Tim lawless
