Last night after Amy Beth got home from work .... around midnight .... she was at her neighbor's apartment. (the former high school friend who makes sure she gets in safely every night) He stepped outside and saw CHAD walking down the sidewalk towards Amy Beth's apartment ... wearing a black hoodie!!!! He was obviously trying to sneak up on Amy Beth's apartment!!! His car was also parked in the same row as hers! He is so stupid!!!

Anyway, the cops were called, and he fled on foot. Two guys were in the parking lot and Amy Beth's friend confronted them. Later it was discovered that Chad was visiting / hiding out in these guys' apartment. One of them is his best friend, and lives in the same building as Amy Beth! Amy Beth's friends went down and let the air out of Chad's tire, but didn't slash it or anything bad like that. Chad still left in his car later, but he probably got some rim damage!

Basically the cops said they couldn't do anything, and Amy Beth got a bit upset with them. One of them was a jerk and told her to not tell him how to do his job! She later left a message for her private investigator.

This evening her P.I. called her back and asked her to meet her at 8:30 a.m tomorrow at the Sheriff's Dept. downtown. I think SURELY she will do something about this! She is the one who picked him up this last time. Please PRAY that they get him AGAIN! I don't doubt he will make bail again, but each time he does this he is just hurting himself more and more. What scares me is that if he continues to do stupid things, he may be thinking that since he is sure to go to jail "anyway" that he "might as well" do what he wants! I'm scared that he might escalate what he tries each time.

I'll update as soon as I know anything else. HOPEFULLY tomorrow!

Tsk, Tsk. It's always the poor babies who suffer. If I lived closer, you bet I'd have that precious, beautiful child with me whenever you needed help.

My prayers are with you and your family, Kim. My heart is breaking for you, too. I know, as a mother, to see this going on with your daughter, is heartbreaking.

[joycenalex]

can amys' witness to chads' ongoing stupid behavior go with you AGAIN? keep documenting. keep reporting, and can you line up a non-family babysitter, so as many family members go with amy as possible? to make it obvious she's supported by many loving caring people?

[ramanth]

What a moron. I really hope Amy's meeting with the PI and sheriff go well. *hugs*

[catfamily]

I hate when cops talk to woman like they are a peice of cr..
Him saying to her "Don't tell me how to do my job".
This is why so many woman get killed by their ex's because some cops are too male chouvinistic toward woman to help them fully.What an a.. for that remark to her.
Amy Beth is doing everything right.You must be so proud of her.I hope this creep gets put behind bars soon for a long long time.

[cassiesmom]

How terrible! I'll keep you all in my thoughts. Prayers are on the way.. ((((HUGS))))

ME, TOO (((hugs)))

So much for the thoughts that Amy Beth is "doing everything right". She called me this morning around 10:00 a.m. to tell me that she was being arrested and taken to jail! She said that "her" private investigator charged her with filing a false complaint (or something like that) for the call about Chad being at her apartment yesterday. I don't know what to believe. But regardless of whether this charge is rightful or not, is NOT the issue. While Amy Beth was gone to meet with the P.I.... she had left Jenna at home in the apartment ALONE!!! At the time of this call to me, Jenna was STILL home alone and had been for close to 2 hours!!! Needless to say, I screamed and yelled at my daughter for being so stupid and negligent. All she could do was say how her charges were so unfair and everything was Chad's fault. She thought the meeting with the P.I. would only "take about 5 minutes" and today was MY day off from keeping Jenna, and she just didn't want to deal with taking Jenna along. Jenna is TWO, and she gets restless and fussy in public places, so DEAL WITH IT!!! Don't leave her HOME ALONE!!!!

I immediately got off the phone with her and got my husband to rush to the apartment to get Jenna. We called the apt. manager to have maintenance meet us there with a key. (Amy Beth didn't want me to have a key even though WE co-signed for her lease!) Any way when we got to the apartment their were 2 cop cars there. I literally ran into the apartment screaming for Jenna!!! Thank God she was ok and the cops had fixed her some Fruit Loops to snack on. No doubt the first she had to eat all day! I grabbed Jenna right into my arms and bawled my eyes out for a very long time. I just cannot believe that Amy Beth did this. To add insult to injury there were items on the counter that were very upsetting and harmful! All out in visible sight on the counter. All of this was documented, video taped, and photographed. There was also no food in the cabinets and the small bit of milk was out of date. I just gave her over $200.00 of her own money this past Friday to buy groceries for the next two weeks, and she hadn't bought anything! I can only assume that she is buying drugs instead of food for her baby. I know that Amy Beth has still been eating fast food. Yesterday I asked if Jenna had eaten lunch, and her response was "oh, she ate a little bit of a taco ... but I don't think she liked it .. so yeah, she probably is hungry!" In otherwords, she bought herself tacos, Jenna got a bite or two and nothing else. Grammy always feeds her when she gets here.

I am so beside myself with shock, fear, disgust, and broken-heartedness that I can barely think straight. Amy Beth's bondswoman just called me to co-sign to let her bail out .... I refused. This was the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. I have no doubt that my daughter thinks that I have turned my back on her. I told the bondswoman to explain to her that it is the fact that she left Jenna home alone, and in an unsafe environment, that was the final straw for me.

DCS approved us to keep Jenna for now ... thank GOD we got there in time so that she wasn't put in foster care! It is only good until Dec. 27 but the DCS worker said that it will most likely be extended at that time. I just hope and pray that they never let Chad come and get her either!

I am so frazzled right now, please pray for us.

[catfamily]

OMG! Kim...I'm so so sorry.This is horrible to say the least.She is NOT doing the right thing...like we assumed she WAS doing the right thing..
You have so much on your plate Kim..I wish I could help you in some way.
You have all the cats...now a new baby living under your care...and you now have to worry about what's going to happen in the future with your daughter and if they eventually put your granddaughrer in foster care.I hope it never comes to that.I PRAY it never comes to that.
Prayers...extra for you and your family from Maine.I hope they work.

[critter crazy]

OMG!!! I just cannot imagine what you are going through right now!!! I am so sorry you are having to deal with this!! Thank god you got there in time to take care of Jenna!! Poor baby!!! I think you did the best thing, by not paying the bail!! She definitely needs to think about what she has done!! Especially to her child!!! Prayers for you!!!

[kittycats_delight]

Oh Kim, I don't even know what to say. I am soooo soooo very sorry. Know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope something good finally comes out of this. Poor little Jenna. Thank God she has you. Be strong I know it is hard but you are the only strength Jenna has. So be strong for her. And in turn we will be strong for you.


((((HUGS))))
Again I am sooo sorry for all this nightmare.

[Daisy and Delilah]

I feel so bad for you and Jenna, Kim!! I'll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers

I can't imagine the stress you're going through but it's got to be next to impossible to live like this. Keep the faith sweetie!!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

OMG ....... what the heck was Amy Beth thinking???? NO thinking here, no doubt about that ...! How could she leave a 2 year old alone with drugs on the counter . No excuse for that, you took the right decision about NOT bailing her out!
Poor little Jenna, I feel so sorry for this sweet innoscent little girl... . But at least she is safe now, she is with her dearest grandma now , someone who loves her VERY much!

You are all in my prayers, Kimmie!!

[kuhio98]

Dear sweet Kim. All I can say is that I think Amy Beth is in the right place. She needs to stay there. And, Jenna is in the right place. She needs to stay with you.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

[jazzcat]

OMG Kim! I can't believe how bad this has turned. I think you did the right thing in not bailing her out. She needs help and hopefully this will help her realize it.

You're in my prayers.
