FURTHER TEST RESULTS: THE COLLEEN KERWICK STORY, PART IV

I've pretty much covered all the significant points that were in the Savino custody evaluation.  But there were a few additional areas of investigation that are worth reviewing before we continue on.  

For example, just so all of the curious know, at the end of 2011 when Dr. Sidney Horowitz was conducting the custody evaluation with Colleen Kerwick it looks as though she was ambulating well.  Ken was ambulating well too.   You wouldn't want any bad ambulators around.

Further, both were "oriented in all spheres."  I mean if either had one of the spheres excluded and didn't bring it up to speed, we'd definitely have a problem, I am sure.  

Doesn't look as if either had any dysmorphic features--I mean God forbid.  

Both appeared to have euthymic affect.  Hmmmm.  

No thoughts of killing themselves or others.  Glad to hear that, or it would be rather alarming.  

In short, both Colleen Kerwick and Kenneth Savino appear to have the exact same mental status.  Like I said, in the "both are wrong" world, everything kind of goes bing, bong, ding, dong.  

Ambulating forward, I do take note that apparently Colleen has "a relative weakness in visual motor integration."  Oh. my. God!!!  Do you think this will affect her parenting skills?  

But, wait a minute, look at that Kenneth!  Dr. Horowitz has offered that "a relative weakness in his nonverbal abilities is noted!"  

I mean without nonverbal abilities, I'm feeling very ambivalent.  I mean a Dad without proper nonverbal abilities--can you really trust him around a very young child?  This is, indeed, something we must carefully consider.  

And, under the circumstances, one must balance out the relative importance of visual motor integration problems versus nonverbal communication skills.  In the scheme of things, perhaps it would be better to have a parent who is better at nonverbal communication skills even though that parent isn't so great at visual motor integration problems.  

But then again, we mustn't take these features out of context as Dr. Sidney Horowitz states in his "caveat--redux" in the section on Kenneth Savino where he again repeats that "the psychological test interpretations presented herein are hypotheses, etc. etc." 

Again, ambulating along, based upon the Hooper Test, looks like both parents have a very low likelihood of neurological impairment in regard to vision--so looking good, looks like when they are diapering the baby they will both be able to identify where to plant the diaper.  

Score for Colleen Kerwick!  It looks as though she does not have any learning disabilities.  

However, the CTMT for Kenneth brings us some more problematic results.  

Specifically, "the results suggest that Mr. Savino is functioning in the average range on the easier trails, but shows a huge disparity ranging from the 6th percentile to the 62nd percentile on more difficult trails."  

What this means is that "The aforementioned "relative weakness" in the perceptual domain coupled with what will later be described as an underlying anxiety, may account for his performance on the test."  

But that doesn't mean he has any anxiety at all as Dr. Sidney Horowitz reassures us, "That said, there is no indication of a formal underlying neuropsychological deficit per se."  

Whew!  I am glad to hear that or I would have been worried.  

I think everyone reading this blog will also be glad to hear that the results of the Slosson Oral Reading Test - Third Edition - indicate that both Colleen Kerwick and Kenneth Savino both know how to read at the high school level.  

I mean, what would we do if Colleen, an aviation attorney who has passed the bar couldn't read at a high school level.  What would we be required to do?  Revoke her law degree?  And as for Kenneth, no more wealth management for you, bad boy.  Not reading on the high school level, you should be ashamed.  

Ok, that was just an imaginative scenario.  But seriously, if it turned out that, say, Kenneth, didn't know how to read, would they truly deny him custody?  Is there some rule out there stating that literate parents are superior and more effective as parents than non-literate parents--is there some body of research we have out there which proves the value of reading in parents over non-readers?  

Finally, there were some very interesting parent/child observations, one with Colleen Kerwick and also with Kenneth Savino.  

In the parent/child visit with Colleen Kerwick, the child went on a search for toy trucks and began to whine when he couldn't find the trucks.  Ms. Kerwick attempted to redirect the child's attention away from the trucks, asking him to read books instead.  

[Of course, I, zee grrreat doktor had hidden away all zee trrrucks, but that is my secret!  Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!]

Still, no matter what Mother did the child continued to express the fact that he wanted to play with trucks.  Trucks being effectively a symbol of the masculine, clearly the child had a specific need to identify with that masculine activity as opposed to the feminine activity of reading a book.  

Mother's refusal to play with trucks probably reflects her inability to come to terms with the masculine in her life and in the life of the child.  

Dr. Horowitz plans on paying close attention to the child's truck playing for the future.  I mean, if mother cannot accept trucks as a legitimate toy playing activity, it may not be appropriate for her to be the primary parent.  

This is a serious consideration.  

As for the father, during his parent/child activity, he was able to find some cars in the toy box which the child was very happy to play with.  Both father and son practiced using the word "poopy" in a he man type way which was reminiscent of burping games young men play in local bars, so clearly a very healthy father/son type activity.  

I'm sorry folks, when it comes to game playing and letting boys be boys, father as primary parent is looking a little bit better than mother.  Repeat after me, "Mommy is a sissy."  Mommy is a sissy..."

[Vat are you crrrying for, young man, big boyz don't do zee crrrying!]

SUSAN SKIPP ON THE PROWL AGAINST FAMILY COURT INJUSTICE!

VIRGINIA CITIZEN RESPONDS TO CT'S GAL CRISIS! ARE WE LIVING IN OZ?

I would suggest that the sheeple of Connecticut revolt against the Chase Rodgers and her Flying Monkeys.  

 

More enlightened governance found in the Commonwealth of Virginia has formally addressed this issue of GAL purpose, function, standards, performance and compensation.  The enlightened people and the enlightened government of Virginia have created a manual, which the Flying Monkeys of Corrupticut could simply copy and bring to Wicked Witch Chase and her evil sisters Lynda, Holly, Liz and brother Gerry.  The sheeple could ask their malicious masters why they could not be treated equally as the citizens of Virginia?  Why must Connecticut sheeple be fleeced when the equal parents of Virginia and their children's college funds (529) are protected from the plunder of Flying Monkeys. 

Perhaps the sheeple of Corrupticut could beg their Oz masters that they could be equal to the citizens of Virginia, protected by the same federal Constitution.  Why must sheeple of Corrupticut be so fleeced for the benefit of the most deceitful and crooked legal lizards before the bench?  Why are such crooked legal lizards rewarded with such spoils by the judges of Corrupticut?  The judges of Virginia do not plunder college savings plans for the benefit of Virginia lawyers.  Why are Corrupticut lawyers of such uniqueness and protection that they are spoiled in cash solely by the Corrupticut judges?  Is this Nutmeg Racketeering?  Nutmeg Rico?  Nutmeg extortion? Nutmeg mutton?

Poor sheeple of Corrupticut, what has god done to you and your children.

It may upset the cash flow, revenue generation, incarceration activities and other childish antics of the Wicked Witch and her flying family court mafia to realize that in a mature, civilized society, the people are not judicial cash cows.

A Virginia lawyer, appointed as GAL gets $55/hr out of court, $75/hr in court and it is paid by the court.  In Virginia, the Constitution does not have due process for the government to seize property in the civil action of granting a divorce.  Too bad Corrupticut does not apply such federal Constitutional protections for its sheeple.

Can the sheeple of Corrupticut beg their butchers for the same procedures and constitutional protections afforded the simple people of Virginia??

Can the sheeple of Corrupticut beg Chase Rodgers to have a judiciary more like Virginia??  Are the sheeple of Corrupticut just sheeple??

Perhaps a bucket of pure constitutional water can be dumped over the Wicked Witch, let her melt to the floor, disperse the flying monkeys and simply be more Virginia like.
