As somebody who struggles with mental health issues, the concept of a police officer refusing to try to understand when somebody is going through something is utterly terrifying, especially when taking into account how stigmatized certain disorders are.
Even after providing evidence time after time this judge looked at us and said “I don’t care what proof you have I will never take these kids away from their mother.” This Judge has been biased during our entire child custody hearings and even though there are pending charges against the mother and the child is the victim the judge took away supervised visits and gave her overnights!! These children’s life’s are in constant danger and even were left home alone this past weekend while the mother went shopping!! The Judge told us if we bad talk about the mother again we will be hold in contempt! Even though we were just showing evidence from CYS that the mother was the perpetrator and there was findings of abuse!!! How many times can a child’s life be threatened with proof and nothing is being done about it?? We need a real job who wants to protect children not their abusers!!
I can’t even imagine if all the parent victims came out and told their story, just how many cases there would be. I’ve witnessed her abuse and lies in person. It is so sad how many families she has absolutely ruptured and how many children are still in with their abusive parent.
Thank you for posting this. Judge DeCostro allowed my sons to be taken from me because father accused me of swearing in to front of my kids and "talking negative" in October 2020. All after not being properly served a court order. I went 13 years as a hands on mom to 4 days a month. I fought with her, went through lawyers to have my military disability used against me (he's a veteran as well). My saving grace were these articles when I found them in Jul 2022. After a lot of push back I was able to move my case to Somerset where father and kids lived. I know have my oldest at home and father does not acknowledge him. I have been alienated by my 14 year old since Easter 2024 thanks to the corruption in Somserset County. I pray for all the parents and children.
This woman has created an impact on a dear friend of mine and I will not allow that sweet girl to suffer. She deserves a good life in a good environment. This judge should not have this position, especially with the hurt she causes. She should not be able to do this to so many victim leading to a worse condition, the lack of remorse saddens me. I pray for the families affected by this woman and I hope this cause becomes more known as well as what she does to children, forcing them to continue living with their abusers. My heart goes out to all the families and children.
I left when I genuinely believed my ex husband was going to hit me. I was told I should’ve stayed and let him hit me because I can’t prove almost.
My ex husband perjured himself in court. I was allowed to present no evidence- even though I had police reports.
He did not know their clothing sizes. He couldn’t remember their birthdays. Didn’t know their doctors or teachers. He activated the tracker on my vehicle without my permission. He and his family harassed me, including calling my boss to try to get me fired.
I still lost custody.
When I started crying she asked me if I was stable enough to have custody. My ex’s lawyer made all sorts of disparaging comments under her breath but I was the one threatened with contempt for crying.
When I came back next time, I made sure to speak calmly. I kept my tone even. She asked me if I was so cool about this, did I even care about my kids? Again, wasn’t allowed to submit evidence.
As an OR RN, I have worked at numerous facilities across the US and support the necessity of having a Level I trauma center on the Big Island. Safe, efficient and effective care should be available to every person that lives or visits Hawaii period.
Level 1 Trauma centers can do great things but only if you have one. As a former ER RN of 35 years(many in a level 1) I'd like to see a level 1 trauma center on the Big Island. With the amount of motor vehicle collisions here and the prolonged transport times, we are losing lives of locals and tourists alike. The transport times could be greatly mitigated with helipad/helicopter transports. At times, people in the Puna area have transport times of an hour/hour and a half by ground due to vehicle traffic.
Please write a Certificate of Need for our Big Island people to have a trauma center. Mrs. Ruth Love
Fuck erc. I was just a kid, and it's been 5 years and I'm 17 now but what happened will always affect me. What they did changed who I was as a person. I grieve the kid I was, and the person I could have been. This will stick with me for the rest of my life.
I realize eating disorders are complex and so is treatment, I know better than anyone. But erc is far beyond this. There is so much to say but I don't have the words for it. I'm so sorry to all the other kids who have been there and are currently there. It wasn't fair or normal or okay.
I saw another commenter say that erc is keyed in to the troubled teen industry, and I'd just like to add that this is absolutely true. While I was there, multiple kids were gooned to be transported to erc. And in at least one case, someone was gooned from a different residential treatment facility that was definitely apart of the troubled teen industry based on the description given.
