Yep, that is exactly what SPIRITS with no true physical substance and no reference or need or desire for earthly material things needs in heaven, streets made of gold to walk on. gold being a monetary or high value item used by Spirits? LOL

We will hear more of this, you can write it down.It is tragic and the courts are not absolved at all in this matter, and neither is the mother, she knew him more than anyone, and her suspicions alone should have kept those kids at home, and should not have let them go with that desperate man who snapped.

come back to reality. This is in NO WAY the mom''s fault. She was already fined once for not allowing the kids to go with him. If she had tried it again, they probably would have taken her children from her and gave HIM sole custody, then she would have only gotten one day. Two people are at fault here--the man, for not seeking help and for killing his kids, and the judge for failing to use professional discernment to at least have supervised visitations. If a person warrants counseling and mental health evaluations, they certainly are not in a position to be left alone with defenseless children. Either way, the only thing the mom could have done was break the law, got another fine or go to jail for contempt of court --and lost her kids anyway. She was in a lose, lose and even she did not realize the man was going to kill his kids that day. Hindsight is always 20/20. But try to have a bit of perspective here.

But on both occasions, Montgomery Circuit Court judges denied her requests, saying there wasn''t enough evidence that Mark Castillo was a threat to the children. At one point, Amy Castillo was fined by the court for keeping her husband from seeing the children.


the judge should be disbarred. If he did not want to deny visitation, he could have had monitored visitation done for a while--he did not even do that--as a judge, he is supposed to THINK and discern situations. The fact that the man needed counseling said the courts knew the kids were potentially at risk, I hope this case haunts that judge until the day he dies and if I were the mom, since I no longer had my kids--I''d make a career out of petitioning Congress, the media and anyone else to keep a mirror on this issue and that judge for as long as I could--until I hounded his azz out of office.

It''s not that easy. The family courts do not accept prima facie evidence of threats.

It is interesting that the reports state the father started to go bizzerk after his alimony payments, from his doctor wife, stopped.

So what did he do for a living?

While I agree that religion has a very bad name, I think you go out on a limb when you try to make the religion at fault. This may be all this woman has left of anything that can help her.

"were allegedly drowned by their father"

I guess those were alleged bodies that were allegedly alive but are allegedly dead from the alleged drowning by the alleged father who allegedly drowned them in the alleged hotel room, allegedly because he was angry with his alleged ex wife.

"he swallowed 100 Motrin tablets and stabbed himself in the neck with a steak knife. He awoke 19 hours later and realized that his suicide attempt was a failure"

He takes MOTRIN??? LOL what a loser. After he found he failed why didn''t he try again- a jumpr off the hotel roof would have worked, so would stepping in front of a fast moving truck.

"at a briefing at McLean Bible Church, where she and her children regularly attended worship services. "

restraining orders are not even good enough, we need moral change in this country, and in the world. Its always about money, you know, money is the root of all evil. This is very true, people will do anything when it comes to money.

The system is all jacked up. I feel for you. I often worry about this happening to myself. I, myself, have been jailed because of my unstable ex. While after definate abuse he was let walk free with my children. Currently I hold an executive position and care for both of my children myself without any assistance and I worry daily that their father will snatch them and I will never see them again. REFORM!!!!!!

Heaven is a wonderful place for those three sweathearts. NOBODY will ever make them cry again. God even gives those kids the best asphalt streets to walk and play on,.....SOLID PURE GOLD CLEAR AS CRYSTAL! God bless all little children.

[The Washington Post reported that Castillo told police he swallowed 100 Motrin tablets and stabbed himself in the neck with a steak knife. He awoke 19 hours later and realized that his suicide attempt was a failure, according to court documents. ]

it''s not just the suicide attempt that was a failure.
