Abbie Dorn
I really would like to know why the ex-husband doesn't want the children to visit their mother? It's almost like he doesn't want the kids to know she is alive. He even hides pictures of the mother for the kids to see at home. It's really strange. I can understand his frustration and disappointment but it is not this lady's fault, she is just a victim.
LOS ANGELES -- A judge issued a tentative written order Friday allowing a woman so badly brain damaged by medical errors during childbirth that she can no longer walk, talk or eat temporary visitation with her 4-year-old triplets.
Superior Court Judge Frederick C. Shaller issued the ruling after a two-week court hearing over the parental rights of Abbie Dorn, a 34-year-old who is being cared for by her parents at their Myrtle Beach, S.C., home. The order will stand until a trial date is set in the case, said Dorn's attorney, Lisa Helfend Meyer.
Dorn's parents, who are suing for permanent visitation, want the children to visit for two weeks every summer and a week in the fall and spring, but an attorney for Dorn's ex-husband argued during a hearing earlier this week that their mother was so badly injured giving birth that she is no longer capable of being a parent.
A call to Vicki Greene, the attorney for Abbie Dorn's ex-husband, did not immediately return a call Friday.
During the hearing's closing arguments on Thursday, the attorney for Dorn's family said that although Dorn may be incapable of taking part in a traditional mother-child relationship, that doesn't mean she should be shut out from holding her children, watching them grow and bonding with them.
