Stepfather Did Not Attend Court Hearing

LEVITTOWN, Pa. -- Two Bucks County parents accused of putting duct tape around their foster children will stand trial.


In the court hearing Friday for Colleen and Neal Broe, Colleen's biological children testified against her.

Neal Broe waived his right to go to the hearing. According to his lawyers he realized there was enough evidence to go to trial and he didn't want to put the children through the trauma of testifying.


But Colleen did want to have the hearing and she had her lawyer confront her own children. She fought back the tears as all three of her children took the stand.


In scared voices, the children told the court how the foster babies would often cry as Colleen Broe taped their 1-year-old foster sister and 2-year-old foster brother while putting them to bed at night.

The 9-year-old child testified that Broe taped the babies so they wouldn't make a mess. The 5-year-old said that Broe duct taped him once so he would be quiet.

The biological children testified that she repeatedly taped the 1-year-old, the 2-year-old and the 5-year-old with duct tape and the court saw pictures and photographs of how the children were bound.

In the past, Colleen Broe's lawyer said she is in the middle of a nasty divorce and is being framed by her husband.

The 11-year-old testified he saw his stepfather tape the foster children, often when Broe wasn't home.

Prosecutors believe the couple acted together and they added conspiracy charges against both of them. The judge decided there was enough evidence to hold the case over to trial.

An arraignment on the charges will take place in June. Colleen and Neil Broe are both out of jail on bail.

Anyone who tapes up children like that should be taped up themselves and left outside to the elements.

the mother should be HANG!!
(jk).. I hope she lose the children.. for good. even.. forbids her not to have any children.. and throw away her foster license permenant
 
Here's what they should do to the father:

Torture him by duct taping all hairs on his body and ripping the tape off, one by one... YEOW!

As for the mother? Simply duct tape all the hair on her head and then pull them off one by one too. Same goes for her "bush".
 
Frown!

They better not near me! This is the really sick story, and very unforgiving!

*Duct-taping and ripping her "Foster Mother of the Year" award!!!!!* This woman does not deserve to earn the award at all and does deserve the equal treatment she imposed on the children and foster children!! "What comes around... goes around!! She gives good hard-working mothers all over the world a bad name.
 
I have posted a similiar news article in another deaf forum.

I grew up in a series of foster care homes. Although I had stayed with my primary foster family since I was 2 years old, I still had to travel from a foster care home to another when my primary foster parents were out of town on business.

I had experienced both positivity and negativity in foster care homes. Some were good to me. Some were horrible to me.

Here's an example of a negative experience being in a foster care home:

I stayed with a Polish foster family on the weekends while I was a student at the Governor Morehead School for the Blind. At first, I thought I liked the family very much because I thought they were cool. They had various pets, which is ideal for my entertainment. After all, I'm an animal lover. The family also lived on a farm where I could play and run. They had trampoline and I loved jumping on trampoline! Everything was cool when it came to my entertainment.

Unfortunately, the foster family is a vegetarian family. They said they won't feed me meats or meat products. I'm more of a vegetable hater than anything I eat. I do like SOME vegetables, but I am not the kind of person who would want to eat non-meat meals everyday. After I openly complained about not eating meats, I was ordered to eat DOG FOOD. It's because dog foods have meat ingredients. That made me sick and forced me to get used to the non-meat meals.

Weekend after weekend, I had enough of that. When the Polish family came to pick me up from the school, I ran all over the campus. My interpreter witnessed the whole epsoide. I tearfully begged her not to let me to go with the foster family. The foster mother and the school staffers chased me all over the campus. They managed me to get into the car and the foster family drove off with me in their car.

I'm white and I had lived with two African-American foster families. One of them was good to me and the other was not. The "good" black family took very good care of me. I enjoyed them, especially their small children. One day, we had to arrive at my school (at GMS) on Monday morning shortly before classes started. I did not have enough time to take a shower therefore I came to school with messy hair. I had to run to my room to take a quick shower. When I got to my class a little late, a few school staffers were very concerned about the treatment I was getting from that foster family. I insisted that they were good to me and took good care of me. They seemed not to believe me. I tried to point out that we were in hurry and did not have time to do them all. As a result, I was placed in a Polish foster family - the one I greatly despised. It was pretty stupid of the DSS for taking me away from the black foster family just because I did not take a shower on time before classes started. That's silly. It couldn't be compared to eating DOG FOOD!

The reason why I protest that Deaf residential schools do have a lot to offer despite their notorious lack of proper education. They are excellent half-permanent and half-temporary homes for d-Deaf students from foster care homes. Approximately half of the Deaf residential school's student population came from foster care homes.

As I've pointed out that NOT every single family, biological or foster, is perfect. Neither are the residential or boarding schools.
