validates, in my mind, that they were indeed moving accord-
ing to a certain plan, because that would have been the perfect
opportunity for Dr. Chandler and Mr. Rothman to officially
bring up the issue of child molestation if they wanted to make
certain his son was safe. (It appeared that Dr. Chandler was
holding off on reporting his allegations as part of the plan.)
When someone calls the child protection hotline and re-
ports an incident of child abuse, they immediately assign a
social worker who comes to interview the child and family. If
a determination is made on the part of the social worker that
the child is in danger of any type of abuse, the worker will
immediately remove the child and place him, or her, in pro-
tective custody. The law requires that a hearing is set within
48 hours, giving the parents an opportunity to be heard and
recommendations to be made by the social worker. Either way,
it all still leads back to the court system where a determination
as to what is in the best interest of the child will be made.
As a result of Dr. Chandler and Mr. Rothman not supply-
ing the Judge with any evidence or information in the declara-
tion stating they had good reason to keep custody of the 13-
year old boy, the Court ordered, forthwith, (immediately) that
Dr. Chandler return custody of his son back to June Schwartz.
The Court also ordered the stipulation that Dr. Chandler
insisted June Schwartz sign be overturned. Dr. Chandler lost
the Ex Parte Motion and the Court ordered him to return the
13-year old child to June Schwartz's custody forthwith.
After being ordered to return the custody of the 13-year
boy old to June Schwartz, instead of obeying the Court's or-
der, Dr. Chandler, instead, took the boy to see the psychiatrist,
who then reported the child abuse on the same day of the Ex
Parte Motion hearing-August 17, 1993. It was only days after
Dr. Chandler took his 13-year old son to the psychiatrist that
the child molestation allegations were leaked to the news me-
dia and became public knowledge.
