Burning America: In the Best Interest of the Children?
CHAPTER 1- -DON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT
No parent prepares for a child to be taken.
Nixon died with his 18 minute tape and I guess Kaitrin has a videotape as well.
Before we left California for Pennsylvania, my wife Anne had her sister videotape us at Kaitrin’s baptism and our going away party as the Theus family. In retrospect, I noticed that on the tape not once does Anne touch or hold Kaitrin. Anne insisted on flowers on Kaitrin’s head during her baptism at St. Johannes and people laughed when our baby wouldn’t stop crying. Once alone with Kaitrin I saw why. Anne used pins to keep the flowers in place; I removed Kaitrin’s crown of pins. Anne rarely saw Kaitrin early on, I mean while Kaitrin crawled, walked, and developed between her first ten weeks of life until she was eight months old. Anne worked double shifts six days a week and God bless her she was too tired on the weekends to be involved with our family activities.

Paul Theus is a respectable middle-class professor until his peaceful world is shattered as we find out from the first line: “No parent prepares for a child to be taken.”
Beware of strangers and watch out for the big bad wolf kids are told but what if a family unit is smoldered from within by a mother? Paul found the note that his wife was leaving for awhile tucked in a book about the Jon Bonet Ramsey child murder.
The Bohemian mother Anne Theus inflames the threat posed by the idea that it takes the village court to raise a child.
Do the courts really act in the best interest of the children?
Parents plan for their children’s home, school, clothes, food, and happiness but once the Theus’ five-year daughter is kidnapped we are barraged by conflict for over three years until the terminal end.
Is the terminal ending tragic or the only possible resolution to the conflict? You decide.
Smith has written a riveting story filled with conflict and should awaken readers to the broken family court system.
