Tom Padgett's Child Custody Case

On Sunday July 23, I retrieved a message from Laura Padgett left on my home
answering machine. She suggested/phone her mother and left a telephone number
I called Betty Vannoy in Madisonville, KY that evening. Mrs. Vannoy without letting
me say much stated the following about Tom Padgett - Julie and Beau's Dad. "He is
doing all the wrong things. He's in a heap of trouble. Laura doesn't have any money.
It's a deteriorating situation. Beau is not suppose to fly alone.  The little boy is
terrfied of flying alone. He wants to be Macho. The man is in very serious trouble.
There is a bench warrant out for his arrest right now. By the 28th of July he is
supposed to pay $5,000.00. The man is a deranged Can't you see that he is not
normal? He can have visitation changed He's not going to be able to see these
children again. We'll go to the Judge. And another thing, there is nothing wrong with
Scientology. The Judge has ruled this way. It is none of his business. We wish we
could talk some sense to some of those people - his brother; his sister, his mother. He
says he doesn't have any money. He's on unemployment because he had a job down
there. He's telling the court and Laura he doesn't have a job. Well we proved he did.
Uh, Uh, Uh, a private investigator! He's a monster and you can't see this Judy. He
upsets the children to no end.

        [personal matters of Beau and Julie I'll not publish - MG]

You can't do anything with Tom. The courts don't affect him at all.
He has been in contempt of court at least twenty times. (The children love their
father) yes they do. He tell's them lies, he tells them their mother is evil, she belongs
to this terrible cult. She's living on her salary.  (RE: Tom's being ill in the hospital)
HA! honey he collapsed on purpose. He was afraid that Laura was going to come
down there and use strong arm tactics. You don't know this man. I think he is a
Psychopath, no a Sociopath. He's got everybody fooled. Every body up here knows
he's insane. I'm not kidding you Judy.  I'm 72 and my husband is 80 and this is
ruining our health. Poor ole Laura, thank God she's got the strength she's got. He
doen't give her any money. Thank God she has a pretty good salary. She wanted
Tom's address. We  don't know anything about Tom. Thank God your there to help.
Julie called every night to keep us appraised Beau watches too much T V"

These are true and correct statements by Mrs. Vannoy about her grand children's
father I do not know Betty Vannoy and/do not know Laura Padgett. I do know Tom,
Julie, and Beau Padgett very well. I `ve played worked and attended Presbyterian
Church with them.
