Luthmann, R. (2024, March 12). Courtroom Corruption? Grieving Mom Accuses Judge of ‘Cash-For-Kids’ Scandal. Substack. https://luthmann.substack.com/p/courtroom-corruption-grieving-mom

Six-year-old Adam Gitter was smart, kind, loving, caring, adorable, and funny. Earlier this month, he was pronounced dead in a Lakeland, Florida, hospital while in the custody of his father, Dr. Leonard J. Gitter, a local oncologist.

Elena Belogolovsky, the grieving mother, wants answers that have not been forthcoming. The local Polk County Sheriff and Lakeland Hospital have been tight-lipped about what happened.

But Belogolovsky says her son should never have been put in this dire position. She alleges a pattern of bias and corruption within the Snyder-Union County Family Court in Pennsylvania. Judge Lori R. Hackenberg’s string of outlandish decisions, including reliance on a “troubling” custody evaluation conducted by Harrisburg’s Dr. Arnold T. Shienvold, Ph.D., contributed to the circumstances leading to her son’s untimely demise.
