According to the NY Daily News article dated October 4, 2011, the lawyer for the mother’s family stated that the children were afraid of their paternal grandparents. The maternal grandparents, who live in Brooklyn as well, have only seen the children once since their daughter was murdered on August 16. The Brooklyn judge was to make a decision on custody in three weeks following a hearing held on October 4.
So, what happens now? Both families, with the help of the attorney for the children have worked out a temporary plan to share parenting time. Is this justice? Is it in the best interest of these children? Will the mother’s family bury its grief and anger and work constructively toward these children’s best interest with the family that raised their daughter’s alleged murderer? Should they? And how will these children fair under the circumstances?
Only time will tell.
