Daddy always said “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”
And a tiger doesn’t change its stripes either. In the war of custody of children, it’s not uncommon for a mother or father to skip down with their children in order to avoid the possible loss of time with them. Unless it is done to protect the children, and I mean really protect them, not just based on false accusations as many do, its a selfish act. Its an act that damages children and demonstrates the wreckless behavior these self-centered people will go to in their own person battle of righteousness.
But, one day when these children grow up and are no longer the pawns that can be manipulated by these sick individuals, what will they do? Abuse the neighbor kids? Abuse their senior parents? Abusers abuse, that’s just what they do. When they can no longer abuse the former spouse or their own kids, they will turn to someone else.
Colorado Authorities have arrested Jason and Tonya Vercillo after Jason’s mother slipped a note to a bank teller to let them know she was being abused by her son. Imagine, a senior citizen having to slip a note to bank teller because she is in such fear!
Seems that Tonya Vercillo is no stranger to abuse. In 1997 she had shared custody of her children with her former husband, Denny Baumgardner, of Florida. Tonya Vercillo removed the children from Florida in violation of a court order, and failed to appear at a court hearing to discuss parenting time arrangements with the children’s father.
For 12 years, these children have been separated from their loving father. The children, now 15,17 and 19 years old, have missed a lifetime with their natural father, instead to be raised by a mother that had no regard for the laws, and married an abuser. Is there any question these children were abused?
My question is this, how did this woman and her three children live for all these years without being found? If a man had done this, like Mark Supanich of Washington State did, they would be hunted by the US Marshal’s service, and arrested. Supanich was protecting his daughter from abuse, and a jury of his peers said he was innocent of kidnapping. He had a legitimate reason for what he did - he was protecting his child after repeated attempts to get Washington State DSHS to do their job.
What was Tonya Baumgardner’s excuse for abusing her children, her ex-husband, and now her mother-in-law? I guess rotten apples don’t fall far from the tree either.
Do you know a child that is being kept from a loving parent? Do you know a loving parent being abused by their children? Please do the right thing and report them to authorities - we need to stop all forms of abuse!

This is ridiculous. This person did not have these children away from their father for 12 years. Read the document here…
www.5dca.org/Opinions/Opin2005/082205/5D05-2110.op.pdf
It clearly shows the she did not appear in 2005, at which time the children were old enough, especially the oldest, to say they wanted to see dad.
Stop spewing your garbage until you know the truth.

Miss Ridiculous,
Seems a fitting name. I’m not sure how you have determined your facts. The facts expressed in the story are from a newspaper article. You should question them.
Your facts, which are assumptions at best, come from a court order in 2005. Granted, that was only 4 years ago, but it doesn’t state when the father last say the children, and it does state that the order was because she had not followed it. The fact does say she was given 90 days, which were suspended if she followed the order. Clearly she didn’t, but taking the kids to Illinois, and she was found in contempt and orderd to 90 days incarceration.
Unless you personally know something about this case, what you are calling garbage is based on fact presented in the news media. Your claims are in fact garbage, as you have not presented anything factual to discredit the news story.
It remains, she alienated. It remains, she was found in contempt.
And, not knowing the laws of Florida, but most states don’t have an age where children get to chose where they live. They are called minors, and the order of the court is the rules that BOTH parents must follow.
Living in Illinois like you do, maybe you are her, or you know her. Give us the facts, we’ll print them.

Who wants the facts - I am the one !!!!
First lets set the facts from this blog… late 2005 dennis (bio-father) had visitation opportunity…. lets state why dennis is not to have visitation…. He sexualy molested his own bio-daughter at the age of 9years old during a florida visitation. Older son witnessed numerous molestations. The molestation went on for 3 months during this visitation… I am not speculating the detailed facts by katie(bio-daughter) could not be created also the sickning part is the bio-father admitted during an in person meeting between himself, bio-mother and me all in florida. Dennis was very detailed on how and why and laughed about it and openly admitted doing it because he hates me and wanted to prove to katie that he is her father not me…..SICKNING.
The other reason no visitation is the neglect to dennis special needs son Brett. See dennis (bio-father) version of giving brett a break is not to give brett any of his medicines during his visitation. Dennis had 2 visitation in chicago(kids residence) the 2nd visitation dennis with held meds for 2 day(kids verified) also took an augmented bladder special needs child with 18 major surguries to chucky cheese so Brett can have a vacation from his strickened sick life and let him play on his stomach for 2 hrs in the climbing ball area. That night when brett was returned to us dennis claimed he was just tired. We found out no meds were given and bretts behavior was different. I took brett to childrens momerial and the found brett with a ruptured bladder. They did ER surgury and brett was hospitalized for 2 months….(BRETT ALMOST DIED 18hr surgury) I was there everyday and all night. Bio-dad never showed becuase DCFS need to interview him because of the neglect…. Dennis has never showed up in illionis since.
Lets look at this fact. BIO mom, my wife went to jail for 3 months to protect her children from Dennis(bio dad)for the above reasons. During an visitation in illinois dennis attemped to pick up the kids for the weekend. At this time the kids were all over 12 years old except brett… The law in illinois states that if the kids refuse visitation it is okay. A sheriff verified that kids did not want this and told dennis. However brett being in the mental retardation brett did not fall into this category and visitation could not be with held for brett. The visitation was bnot with held but dennis(bio dad) refuse to take brett soley and state to the officer and kid”if I can not have them all I do not want any of them”. What is that about. Document in dupage county court & DCFS…
Any one want to discuss the facts I encourage. Tonya is a great loving mother…. I am loving step father who will never abandon my family. Though these kids are not biologically mine. They love and treat me like I am. Any one can be a sperm doner, It takes true father responsiability to step up to the plate and be a parent…..!!!
Again this small details, I would love to discuss more with any who aquire.

The fact that is know here is that both sides of the family for these kids have accused the other of damaging the kids. Nobody can dispute that the kids are damaged, and now society will pay the ultimate price to these kids, as they will never grow to be what they could have been.
Look at how easy the words roll of of the tongue of these people, it only demonstrates their own emotional issues, that they now give to the children to live with for the rest of their lives. Shame on all of you. Funny way for a loving mom, a loving step-dad to show their love. Shameful.

Kids usually are very much affected if their parents separate. Sadly but that’s the truth. I just hope that the kids future are to be considered by their parents with whatever decisions they will take.

Healthy Baby Happy Home: A must-have resource for green parenting!
As both a parent of an active toddler and an enthusiastic, expectant mom - nothing is more sacred to me than the successful creation of a healthy, happy and “Green” home environment for my beloved children. So, needless to say I count myself as ‘privileged’ to have been referred by a mom in our parenting group to the Healthy Baby Happy Home website. Using their developmentally sound resources, I discovered countless, affordable ways to create a ‘model’ green home environment. And though, our family is admittedly on a tight budget these days, I have managed to discover valuable ‘green parenting’ techniques including: practical ways to eliminate the dangerous toxins and chemicals lurking in our home and in popular cleaning products; to baby-proofing, safety tips and even an eco-friendly nutritional guide (all within my limited budget, no less)!
So, for any new and expectant parents who similarly desire to create an affordable, efficient and healthy green home for their children, but do not know how or where to begin…I wholeheartedly recommend Healthy Baby Happy Home as a one-stop resource site and book for any parent on a mission to create a healthy eco-friendly home environment. When you get a chance, visit http://healthybabyhappyhome.com/ and don’t bother to thank me, just be kind enough to refer me to any other empowering, practical parenting tips, sites or resources you have discovered on your parenting journey!
