Susan's Boys

[RubyRed]

Reading a lot of emotional responses.

First, IMO, the most interesting info from the Examiner article is; Sounds like there may be renters living there now?

Until Josh is arrested, he is the parent of the boys. And like every "single" parent of the many broken families (death, divorce, separation, runaway, ..), he is free to raise them as he wishes.

That said, IMO, this case is moving very sloooowly - like a snail traveling uphill in the dead of winter.

There is a thread on Josh rents home to neighbors.

A big thank you for confirming this. So there are renters. Seems it was rented quickly. I guess this explains the decorations coming down.

Right now, the Cox family has NO LEGAL RIGHT to visit Charlie and Braden at all -- in their own home OR the Powell home.

Joshua can tell Grandparents Chuck and Judy they can never see Charlie and Braden again and there is currently nothing the Cox Grandparents can do about it.

Let's all hope Susan's body is found very soon. Just like with Scott Peterson, Josh will be arrested the minute Susan's body is identified.

I fear that without a body, Josh might remain free for a very long time -- certainly long enough for a great deal of psychological damage to be perpetrated on Susan's boys.

The best thing that the Cox family can do is contact the Carole Sund/Carrington Memorial Reward Foundation and ask for financial help to raise the reward to find Susan.

The best thing the friends of Susan can do is start one fund-raiser after another to make the reward enticing enough so the vast Utah wilderness is covered with outdoorsmen seeking the treasure of Susan's remains.

It's a total mystery to me why the family and friends are not doing everything in their power to raise the measly $11,000 reward. It makes zero sense! :waitasec: .

Grandparents' Rights?

"In 2000, Washington States visitation laws were dismantled by the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Troxel vs. Granville when it ruled our laws "breathtakingly broad" and dictated that those laws unconstitutionally interfered with fundamental parental rights.

This has caused much confusion in our state courts; and visitation rights for any 3rd party, including grandparents, have been in flux ever since.

Not until our state legislators take action and pass a constitutionally written law is it likely that our courts will resolve this issue. Until then attorneys are reluctant to take a visitation case. Washington State is currently the only state that does not offer grandparents legal recourse to petition for visitation other than as a part of a current dissolution, separation or parenting plan.

The Washington State Supreme Court decision on April 7, 2005 upheld the USSC decision and dashed any hope for visitation under those circumstances as well."

Anne Bremner out of Seattle has offered to help the Cox's. A bunch of posters on one of Susan's FB group contacted her. She said she would be happy to help pro-bono and the contact info was passed along to the family.

Why does Daddy's family act like everything is okay? WHERE IS MY MOMMY?

Help do what? :waitasec: _ If there is no Washington State legal remedy for grandparent visitation, what can any attorney do if Josh refuses all contact?

I abhor the Washington no-visitation-rights limbo as much as anyone!

But pretending it doesn't exist solves nothing.

As soon as Josh is arrested the possibility of visitation - guardianship - custody will be a different story.

Susan must be found!

If the Cox family and church friends and neighbors care about removing Susan's boys from the sociopathic family from Hell, they better try real, real hard to raise the reward for Susan NOW!

imho

When Jennifer and her husband, Kirk, went to visit Josh and his boys on Jan. 22, they were rudely asked to leave when Jennifer tried to ask Josh about Susan's disappearance.

Jennifer and Kirk are concerned for the emotional safety of their two nephews. They don't know if they are being fed and cared for properly and wonder what kind of influence their family members are having on the boys.

At this time, Josh is allegedly living with his father in Puyallup, Wash., with three of his own brothers and sisters who are all 24 and older and who do not, according to Jennifer, have jobs.

While Jennifer does not believe her brothers or sisters would bring any physical harm to her nephews, she did say the home is not an emotionally safe environment for them.
