This was a motion to stop unsupervised visits with Eric from being resumed because there hadn't been an evaluation or a FC3118 investigation yet and Damon was saying the abuse not only happened the one time in his top bunk, but that it happened every time he visited his father.
Judge Hightower had issued a Restraining Order, the police investigation led to Eric being placed on the Child Abuse Central Index, and CPS strongly recommended the visits remain supervised, but Judge Smyth ordered unsupervised anyway, completely disregarding all the evidence and professionals.
Cindy had to file this motion herself even though she knew nothing about court procedures, because her attorney said she was sick. Cindy believes her attorney had been intimidated, because she would not help Cindy much after this. Resuming unsupervised visitation was how Judge Smyth silenced Damon because Eric, of course, began threatening to kill him, his mother, brothers and hamster as soon as he got unsupervised visits. Damon did not tell anyone after that until his teacher in November, '04. When a minor's counsel, Terry Chucas, came onto the case, he told Cindy she would lose custody if she talked to Damon about the abuse anymore or took him back to Chadwick Center, where he had disclosed the abuse to a therapist. That is how Cindy was silenced; she was terrified of losing custody.
When Cindy realized that Damon was not going to be able to tell an evaluator or therapist about any other abuse than the incident in the top bunk, she asked him herself if there were any other places he was abused. He told her about a lot of places, some of them mentioned in this document. Damon told her the abuse happened every time he visited his father. Judge Smyth completely ignored Cindy's ex parte motion and plea to keep the visits supervised until the evaluation was done. Smyth reinstated the unsupervised visits anyway and surprise, surprise, Eric began threatening to kill Damon if he told anyone else.
