In re R.G., 2009-Ohio-6284.
These parental termination cases seem to be getting worse. I feel bad for the responding officers:
On February 22, 2007, Akron police officers removed the children from their home under Rule 6 of the Ohio Rules of Juvenile Procedure. The officers had responded to a report that the oldest child, R.G., was attacking the mother with a large board.
When the officers arrived at the home, they discovered that the mother had locked herself in a bedroom and was unable to control any of the four children who were home at the time. In addition to R.G. threatening others in the home with a large board, N.G., then age three, was on the roof of the house throwing toys and household items.
As the officers attempted to restrain R.G., his younger brother, who also has the initials R.G., came out of the kitchen wielding a butcher knife.
The officers also discovered that both R.G.s had bruises on their legs, which the boys claimed had been inflicted by the mother.
