"Single Mom Leaves Kids & Disappears — Her Excuse? 'I Want My Life Back' 😱

all rise for support judge vunder judge 

is case number JVB1070 Allen case thank you you're welcome you all may be seated okay 

Miss Allen you brought this case before the court what's going on well basically um 

my sister came and dropped her kids off um nine months ago and hasn't come back for them 

how old are the kids four and seven all right what do you mean she dropped them off and hasn't come 

back well um I mean tell me the story like what so for one summer she just Wait a minute 9 months 

that's not babysitting that's full-blown parenting without consent is this an accidental adoption or 

what just you know called and said "Hey I need to um would you like your niece and nephew for the 

summer?" And I said "Sure." you know so I took care of them because I know she works hard and she 

you know is you know attending school at night and um I don't have any kids so I you know volunteered 

to help out but she hasn't come back for them nor does she give any financial support so that's 

I'm here okay and you want your sister to pay child support to you for her four-year-old and 

her seven-year-old yes okay are these boys girls the older one's girl and the younger one's a boy 

okay what about health insurance um she pays the health insurance okay all right is there anything 

else you want me to know before I move over to her um you know I love my niece and my nephew and um 

you know I I I don't necessarily want to keep them from her but you know if she needs my help and I 

can help then I want to but I need her help also so all right that's it you know I'm not trying to 

be ugly or malicious to my sister i want her to do well i just need help understand okay ma'am what 

is the reason that you dropped your children off with your sister and haven't been back to get 

them i just decided that I don't want to have kids excuse me i don't want to have kids yeah well 

you already had them so they're yours your sister is raising them don't you think this right here 

is the jaw-dropper she just decided she doesn't want to be a mom anymore someone called Netflix 

this courtroom moment needs a docu series you should want to get them back or you don't want 

kids at all you don't want the responsibility anything no I just don't want to have kids anymore 

okay interesting now um what about the financial part of it what about paying your sister child 

support to take care of your children i mean you don't want them you're not raising them they've 

been with her for the past 9 months so wouldn't you say it's fair to give her some money for them 

i don't really have it i only make like $40,000 a year but you're making money okay do you live 

alone yes you live alone you make $40,000 a year question for the comments if a parent walks away 

and leaves the kids for almost a year should they automatically lose custody rights type yes or no 

and tell us why she said she pay health insurance and I go to school at night okay well that's 

good you don't want to What are you going to school for let me ask you this first for fashion 

fashion okay you plan to make a lot of money with that hopefully one day do you intend on getting 

your kids back at some point um I mean I don't know i just know how I feel right now and I just 

don't want to have my kids i just want to focus on my career so let's talk about that did you 

just wake up one day and say "I don't want to have kids anymore and I'm going to send them 

make it seem as though I want my sister to keep them for the summer when really I'm just going to 

drop them off and never pick them back up." Like what how did you get to that point it just kind 

of happened and it just I just It kind of just happened are you dating someone no were you dating 

someone yes did Let's break this down she ghosted her own children possibly because of a partner 

and now that relationship's over but she still doesn't want them back that's a plot twist with 

no redemption arc they have kids no they didn't want your kids around i mean not necessarily i 

just So was was that what started this you not wanting your kids because the person you were in 

a relationship with really didn't want your kids around well no it's just I just want to focus on 

my school and I just want to I work and so that's like my whole day and you have to understand 

why this is hard for me to process right you know because myself I'm a parent and I'll do 

whatever for my kids that includes career whatever so to be sitting across from you and you're very 

adamant about that is really shocking for me so you'll have to excuse me if I seem a little taken 

back um it it's not making sense ma'am what it sounds like to me is that you ditched your kids 

because of the relationship that you previously had you're no longer with that person right 

which means you can go get your kids again right well now they've just been there so long it's 

maybe what's best and well 9 months is a long time in a sense that you go without seeing them 

and taking care of them but you can still make it right it's easier for her judge my apologies 

to just you know outburst but it's just easier for her for me to have them basically and this is 

what you're okay with doing yeah okay all right so this is what we're going to do you said you made 

$40,000 a year health insurance how much was that $80 $80 okay and that $80 that's for both of 

the children yes okay all right so this is what we're going to have you do we're going to 

have you continue to pay the health insurance at least make sure the kids stay insured okay 

and you have to keep working because you're going to pay your sister child support you 

understand that right but I don't make enough did you think you were going to come in here not 

take care of them and not pay child support for Well I just think I need to hear this i just 

think they're doing okay and she can do it right but she needs financial support 

your sister doesn't have any children you dumped two kids on her and the 

fact that you think that is okay is unacceptable you dropped two kids on 

her and you don't even want to pay for them but what did you think we were doing here 

today you think I'm sitting up here so you can waste my time no okay so Judge Vanabe is done 

playing nice she's making it crystal clear you don't get to bail on parenting and expect your 

sister to foot the bill period you'd agree with me you should be paying your sister something right 

yes okay when do you graduate from school in um May of next year okay where um are the children's 

fathered i don't know for both or I mean do they have the same father no okay so where is the 

7-year-old's dad he's somewhere i don't know i I don't I don't really know what about the 

four-year-old um he's present sometimes he comes around sometimes are you okay yeah yes okay you 

You understand what's going on here today right i just want to make sure that you're completely 

aware of everything that's going on today you're going to walk out of this courtroom 

today paying child support to your sister you understand that right yeah okay now if 

you don't understand I need you to tell me you don't understand okay so we're clear 

you understand yes okay so you said you made $40,000 a year giving you credit for 

health insurance that bring your gross to $3,253 your net $2,798 that's 25% for two children that brings 

your child support to about I just don't think I can afford it i have to pay for school and 

that's really what my priority is right now well your sister's priority is to take care of 

your children your children not her children your children this is where real world math hits hard 

$700 a month may feel steep but compare that to the emotional toll and full-time responsibility 

the sister's carrying seems fair right so as long as she's in the position that you put 

her in you're going to have to make it work you graduate next year you can find a job 

a better paying job than what you have now right is that a yes yes okay so then there's 

no confusion do you have any other questions no are you upset with her no 

oh okay i was just making sure because I don't believe she did anything wrong miss Allen do you have any other 

questions no your honor thank you you're welcome if there's nothing 

further you all are dismissed thank you
