County to pay attorneys $242K for blocking perv daddy from seeing kids (Fayette County, Pennysylvania)

The ACLU has officially lost all decency. They wasted time and energy helping UNNAMED DAD, who was sexually abusing a 16-year-old girl, so he could see his kids? How many other worthy cases did they turn down so they could help this daddy? And where was the mother in all this? Who knows. Written out of the story.

Shame on Judge Donetta W. Ambrose for going along with this sham.

INVISIBLE MOTHER ALERT.

Fayette County will pay $242K to attorneys for blocking father

Fayette County has been ordered to pay $242,753 to the civil rights attorneys who represented a man who sued the county for preventing him from seeing his children.

The amount, ordered on Wednesday by U.S. District Senior Judge Donetta W. Ambrose, is less than the $445,000 in fees that the American Civil Liberties Union in Pittsburgh had sought to recover.

The ACLU argued the $445,000 represented hourly fees and travel expenses for three attorneys and a paralegal who worked on the case. The ACLU sued Fayette Children and Youth Services and two caseworkers in 2008 for violating their client's civil rights.

The client, identified only as John Doe in court papers, died in a traffic accident last year.

His estate sued the county because CYS forced him to surrender custody of his three children because he had a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old girl.

The 32-year-old Smithfield man never was charged with child abuse, but the agency took the action based on the state definition that any adult having sex with someone younger than 18 is considered abuse.
