Demands Court Resurrect Dead Mother -
Obviously A Woman With Dementia Is Not Going To Appreciate The Visit Of A Grandson
In his latest irrational attack on Kanawha County Family Court Judge Michael Kelly and the court system, Mark Halburn has gone completely over the edge.
In his latest demands, Halburn believes that the court can order that his dead Mommy be brought back to life.
Revive a corpse four months after she died and was cremated?
Hmmm. Yeah. Not crazy at all. Not. At. All.
"That boy cries too much."
He writes:
"For this, Kelly must be removed from the bench, admitted to a mental ward, ordered to revive the grandmother, pay for the trip, and be fined every penny of salary and benefits ever paid to him. Mentally stable judges do not keep dying grandmothers from visiting their grandchildren."
Mentally stable people realize the old woman has been burnt to a crisp and is now on the ash heap of history. NOBODY is going to resurrect Mommy. Look on the bright side Halburn, you could get her urn and a little lye, make some soap and wash your stinky self.
Halburn has the gall to selectively edit an out of context, 13 second clip out of a longer video and use that to say that Kelly made an arbitrary decision in saying that he couldn't drag his son across country under the guise of "seeing his dying grandmother."
Halburn is more than willing to hack up the video, but doesn't have the balls to post the entire thing because it would show just how unreasonable and insane his behavior is, even before the Judge who holds the future of his child's visitation in his hands.
Halburn was still so bereaved after arriving home after Mommy's funeral that he made all his harassing phone calls to the unemployment office the next day.
And then, as all of his rants do, it comes down to money.
The entire last half of the column is pretty much "pay me."
And his buddies the kid toucher and the child beater.
It always comes down to someone giving him money. Everytime.
We just do not understand how anybody can make the death of his mother not about the loss of the life of the person who birthed and raised him, but about how, rightly, a family court judge who knows that Halburn is a kidnap risk and correctly points out that this kid wouldn't remember the visit anyway.
When I was 5, I went to Disney World. I barely remember it. And my grandfather died when I was 8. I saw him pretty regularly and I don't remember a lot about him either. Halburn had numerous opportunities to take his son to see his grandmother before his divorce but chose not to.
Plus, Mommy was in a vegetative state as proven in the hospice paper he published on his own blog. She wouldn't have known the child if she had seen him.
Why would he subject a kid to that? He wants to traumatize the poor child just to satisfy his own sick needs.
And that's what it's all about.
This is all about Halburn winning, not what's best for the boy.
He even admitted as much. On May 29 2012, Halburn filed an emergency motion stating that his mother had been placed in intensive care in a hospital in California. He demanded that Ms. Halburn be ordered to transport the child to California to see the grandmother. He further demanded that "the Court order the wife to pay for this trip and to submit to a full psychiatric exam upon her return,"
However, the day prior to filing his emergency motion, Mr. Halburn emailed his
wife that "My mom is too far gone for (the son) to visit her now. She is incoherent and might scare him. Unless something changes we have missed the wonderful opportunity for him to see his grandmother and for her to enjoy him."
Halburn has made irrational demands in past "motions" before the court. Earlier this spring he demanded that the State build a zoo near Charleston by 5 pm April 22, 2012 and bring the Atlantic Ocean to Charleston.
It's really telling, in our opinion, that his entire mourning of his mother's death has been exclusively to harass a family court judge.
We would be far more broken up about losing such an important person. But maybe it's because we're not bat shit crazy.
This is more fuel for the fire to have Halburn's 25% custody reduced even further with only supervised visits allowed.
For the sake of the kid.
