My name is Scott Schjolin. My girlfriend ( Laurie Hammons) and I are going through court proceedings to get our daughter back.
We took our daughter to Simi Valley Hospital after noticing some slight swelling of her right elbow. They found the elbow had been broken. While taking additional x-rays, they learned that her left forearm had been fractured as well. The doctors there said they believe she has a bone disorder. She was transferred to Ventura County Hospital for surgery to repair her right elbow.
Other doctors there also said she had symptoms of a bone disorder called Osteogenisis Imperfecta (OI). Ventura Hospital also said they found two fractured ribs which the Simi doctors apparently missed. Only one doctor at Ventura said it was a non-accidental injury. That was the diagnosis that CPS decided to pursue. Now, Child Protective Services (CPS) is accusing us of child abuse.
We've hired attorney Kennith Warner to fight this case however he can only represent one of us. He his currently representing me (Scott). This all happened on the late evening of September 9th.
On September 14, 2007 the judge ordered CPS to place our daughter with a family member. As of today they have yet to comply.
We're looking for any kind of help we can get to get our daughter back. We are innocent of these allegations. We have a doctor that will do the tests for us however they are very expensive.
In the next week or two we will have an account set up to accept donations.
Please check back as we'll update this site with documentation from CPS, our attorney and medical reports as they become available. In the meantime, check out protectourfamilies.com for more information on OI.
