this suit by Kevin
He isn't suing as parent and next friend on behalf of the abused children. He is suing in his OWN name on behalf of himself and hoping to also cash in on what was done to his children. The children are not in his custody but the states so IMO he should have no right to sue on their behalf!
I also note there is some malarky in paragraphs 15 and 16 about how because of the severity torture/abuse the children weren't placed into his care but into the state's because they need specialized assistance and services. It further, through how it is worded, implies he was a part of the decision to have the state swoop in and assist with those supportive services.
This guy has big brass cajons MOO. He not only wants damages/money for what Jodi put him through but for what she put his children through. While I agree the kids should get all sorts of damages, what gives him the right to sue for his own emotional damage the torture of this absentee father's children suffered???
I can't wait to see what @gitana1 thinks about this newest development
' Kester, Kevin Franke’s attorney, told PEOPLE of the lawsuit: "We filed suit against Jodi Hildenbrandt. Couldn't file for the kids yet because the State still has their legal custody, but filed in an effort to preserve Hildebrandt's wealth and assets until appropriate action can be taken to make the kids whole."
