A child-custody battle is being fought - not by parents but by two sisters.On the one side is the twins' mom, Dr. Robin Recant, a physician with the city Health Department's sexually transmitted disease bureau. She's a single mom and former mental patient who claims that her unmarried, childless sister is trying to steal her kids.
The sister she's at war with is former Criminal Court Judge Donna Recant, who was censured by the state Commission on Judicial Conduct in 2001 for, among other things, chaining a defense lawyer to a bench for being "disrespectful" and handcuffing a defendant for blowing bubble gum.
Donna, who left the judgeship in disgrace in 2005, now has temporary custody of the twins, and she wants to keep them. She insists this is the only way to protect the children from the unstable, paranoid woman who gave them life.
But Robin Recant swears that her sister has wanted to take her kids away from the day they were born.
According to Robin -- her sister bullied and threatened her into signing over temporary guardianship of her children.

These cases are bonanzas for lawyers on both sides?
ReplyDeleteI don't doubt the judge bullied her sister; look at her bullyish behavior in court!
ReplyDeleteI agree - history shows a different side of the judge than she is presenting in court.
ReplyDeleteThis action also shows the judge shouldn't have ever been a judge in the first place!
And there in the middle are the kids. For shame, Donna Recant.
