Happy mother's day.
This fun letter arrived from NOW, followed by more details:
Dear Friends:
Yesterday, I received a call from one of our NOW leaders in Poughkeepsie. She had just returned from a prison where she was visiting a woman named Vevgenia Shockrome. The story is that Vevgenia, 7 months pregant, had been thrown in jail by Judge Amodeo, in Duchesss County, New York, for apparently speaking out to save her children.
As reported to me, Vevgenia, a battered mother, made the mistake of going to court alone, with no attorney, and when Judge Amodeo ruled to let the abusive ex-husband, take the children and move to Texas, Vengenia spoke up to protect her children. She apparently refused to be silenced, and now sits in jail for 30 days.
Judge Amodeo email is DAMODEO@COURTS.STATE.NY.US
His address is: Hon.Amodeo, Family Court Judge, Duchess County Family Court,
50 Market Street, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601
FAX:845-486-6440
