Marlow cop, Tony Lynch, and his wife Allison Ward Lynch, signed over rights to Tony's then 6 year old son to his mom over one year ago (as long as his mom agreed that Tony and Allison would provide no financial/child support). We were told this is due to the saftey issues that this 5-6 old boy caused for his brother and new half-brother. Yes, a 5-6 year old. Let's consider this could be true; wouldn't you, as an obligated parent, provide counseling, therapy, etc.? This was not provided; they just signed him over to his mother. Many years prior, Tony's family paid legal fees to successfully get full custody of him and his brother from this same woman due to her drug addiction and stability issues. In the one year (plus) he has been with his mom and her boyfriend, he has been exposed to a drug environment and seeing his mother repeatedly beaten (rarely seeing or even talking to his biological father Tony). When he stayed with us over the summer, he told me he would often try to keep his 'dad' (the boyfriend) from hitting his mom. Long story short, a judge ordered Corey's youngest baby be taken away due to neglect and was admitted to drug rehab to avoid a drug arrest last night. His aunt, Lacey Burton, who has 3 kids herself, including twin babies, has stepped in and kept him many times when his mom requested. Lacey had him when his mom was admitted and agreed to temporary custody per his mother's request. Now, Tony threatens that Lacey has kidnapped him. Showing up with four cop cars, Tony took his son away today. My nephew, of course, didn't want to go with someone who abandoned him and clung to his grandmother asking why he has to go. Please pray he has a stable environment, a permanent home and can rely on the fact that he is loved and will not be given away again. If Tony would respond to contact, Teri and I would gladly provide all of these things for him.
