Patricia Ann Tutone

I feel like I have to post a review for the attorneys that are employed by the Council for Children's rights. I hired Patti Tutone and the team including an advocate to protect the rights of my grandson who was thriving living with me for almost 10 years. I am very disappointed they actually saw fit ...to put my grandson in a trailer that can only be described as trailer trash to live in. I wish I could have them have to deal with what he is dealing with now. He constantly is asking when we are going back to court and calling me from his moms asking me to pick him up. He has been late for school so many times in the last 4 months that she has had him I lost count. Her boyfriend has hit my grandson and now he is afraid of him. I have to tell my grandson there is nothing I can do right now because the advocates and the courts (without the blessing of his therapist that had been dealing with my grandson for years) and made that horrible decision for my grandson to go back with his mom saying they needed a mother son bond and to avoid arguments that my daughter and I were having. We were having arguments because my daughter made bad decisions in her life and now gets to make them with her son. Again my grandson was thriving in my home, he played sports, not late for school, got good grades and felt safe. My daughter did not do any of the requirements that were asked by the court and judge. She continued to be late, did not show up for a therapist appointment and did not take an active part in the sports he is interested in. Please do not hire this attorney or use the council for children's rights if you want to protect your child. If you want council for the neglectful parent than this is the place you will find it. They do not protect children in my eyes and should definitely have a therapist in the mix of people who work on these cases. It is sad and has upset my whole family. Not sure why the court system gave my daughter requirements in the previous court hearing because they were completely ignored by her. She continues to do the same parenting she has done for years. I know she loves him but is not looking out for his best interest. We expected the court and the advocates to this.
