You have stated that you petitioned the Court for custody of
your two minor grandchildren and that, in proceedings before the
Court, the Department introduced evidence of your prior
hospitalization in a psychiatric hospital as the basis for its
recommendation that custody be denied to you. You further stated
that this hospitalization occurred in 1984 and 1986 and has no
bearing on your current ability to parent your grandchildren.

Department agreed that, with respect to your history of mental
illness, it would agree to base any arguments against your
petition for custody entirely on evidence that was related to
your current ability to parent and care for your minor
grandchildren, and that particular care would be taken where that
evidence was more than five years old.
Sincerely,
Stewart B. Oneglia
