The 3rd episode of @realcrimeprofil podcast with @jessradio has made me think about Dylan Farrow and in particular the 1993 ruling concerning her custody which was published by Huffington Post in July 2014 and paints a damning portrayal of WA as a father.

1. “ There is no credible evidence to support Mr. Allen’s contention that Ms. Farrow coached Dylan.”

2. The Child Sexual Abuse Clinic at Yale–New Haven Hospital was asked to evaluate whether Dylan would make a viable witness.
Between September 18 and November 13 they conducted nine separate interviews with Dylan and her mother.

3. But the eventual study report was “sanitized and, therefore, less credible”. The notes were destroyed prior to the issuance of the report and the team was unwilling to testify in court.

4. Allen’s response to Dylan’s claim of sexual abuse, was an attack upon MF , whose parenting ability & emotional stability he impugned without the support of any significant credible evidence. His trial strategy has been to separate his children from their brothers & sisters.
“ To turn the children against their mother; to divide adopted children from biological children; to incite the family against the household help; and to set household employees against each other.”
#FamilyCourt
“ we will probably never know what occurred on August 4, 1992...[but] Mr. Allen’s behavior toward Dylan was grossly inappropriate and...measures must be taken to protect her.”

“ Because Mr Allen’s position had no merit, he will bear the entire financial burden of this litigation “
