Terri And James Moulton Should Be Proud

Aaron's Law is still pretty new. The bill was just passed into law in Oregon in 2005. This law grants a parent of a kidnapped child, or a parent whose custodial rights have been frustrated, the right to pursue the matter in civil court when pursuit in family court will not remedy the situation. Sean Cruz, an Oregon parent, wrote that bill because of his own experience on the receiving end of custodial interference.

Desiree Young, mother of Kyron Horman who disappeared from his school on June 4, 2010, is taking advantage of Aaron's Law, in order to finally hear testimony from Terri Moulton Horman, Kyron's sometime step parent, concerning why she will not give Kyron back to his natural parents. Instead of stepping forward in this moment of judicial history, Terri balked. She wants an an abatement for two years! But she was pretty quiet about the whole affair until July 24, when she learned that her biological son, James Moulton, was going to be deposed. THEN, she wanted a hearing......to move the court that he not testify! What? We get to pick and choose which witnesses testify in court? Someone who saw, heard, or knows something about the matter at hand cannot be subpoenaed because we don't want them to be subpoenaed? Waaaaaaaa! Is poor Terri gonna cwy?

Terri Horman should really both be proud that her fifteen minutes of fame involves the first case tried in court via a brand new law. This is really an important case that will set a precedent for future cases. Neither she, nor her son, James, should back away from court if they have nothing to hide. Desiree's attorney, Eldon Rosenthal, filed an answer to Terri's request for a two year abatement today.  Kyron has already been missing for two years. Hopefully, the judge will only adjust the schedule to assure that Terri Horman will not have to be in family court for her pending divorce at the same time she is telling Desiree why she has not returned Kyron.

Thoughts On Terri Horman And Custodial Interference

Something curious about what little testimony the police got from Terri Horman on June 4, 2010, when Kyron Horman was last seen, allegedly having been dropped off for class at Skyline Elementary in Portland Oregon is that she stated several times that Kyron had a doctor's appointment on that day. Then, when it became inconvenient and counterproductive to her defense, after failing a polygraph, she changed her story and stated that it was the the following Friday. The only problem with that was that one of Kyron's young schoolmates told the police that Kyron told him he was leaving early that day, and would not be in class, because he had a doctor's appointment. How about that?

First of all, no doctor in the entire Portland area had an appointment booked for Kyron on either Friday. The lawsuit that has been filed against her by Kyron's mom, Desiree Young, for custodial interference would have a much stronger chance of dismissal or loss if Terri Horman could supply all of the details of the alleged doctor's appointment, along with any other pertinant information to the court. Second, Kaine and Desiree, Kyron's parents, who share custody of Kyron, have no knowledge of this doctor's appointment, or of any condition that would warrent a sudden and unexpected doctor's appointment. Here's something worth noting: Desiree, as Kyron's mom, has a right to all of this information, and a right to make medical decisions for her son. Even if the doctor's appointment was not imaginary, Terri committed custodial interference by failing to consult Kaine or Desiree. How will she and her Houzeboy, Stephen Houze, esquire, handle this in court?

Third, how could Kyron be ill enough for an emergency medical appointment with an imaginary physician and still be well enough to visit his mom, several hours away, that weekend? It's a big, big mystery.  One that only Terri Horman and Steve Houze understand. As you can see in the picture on the left, Terri Horman looks terribly worried. (sarcasm) If Steve Houze understands more about this matter than even Terri does, hopefully all of Oregon will insist that he come clean. This has gone on long enough. Terri, where's Kyron?
