Making Up For It
Christin was totally taken aback by the donation made by people. Christin got overwhelmed by the support. So, she took a step to update the page. She updated the events and many other things that were happening in Kelsey’s life. She said that the girl is getting out of the trauma and has started doing things that she enjoys.
No Longer Ashamed
Kelsey was getting back to her normal life. Christin posted a picture of her playing softball with her cousins. During all this while she was having that hairdo that she despised the most. But there was nothing she could do about it. To some, the little girl emerged as an inspiration. But if you think that was the end of Kelsey’s story then you are wrong. There was one more twist left.
Strong Support
There were some people who thought of this incident to be a case of parental abuse. Now the story had authorities involved in it too. Fox8 broadcasted the case and even interviewed Colby Carroll, the Police Chief. They showed how Kelsey was forced to get a hair cut as a punishment. the police officer said, “I’ve been doing this since ’92 and I’ve never had a case I would say that’s like this.”
Never Before
So the authorities finally went to see Schaffen. Consequently, the couple got suspended from their duties at the Middletown Township fire department. As they were no longer working now, the couple was put on “administrative leave.” Not only that, an investigation too was initiated against them that culminated into local judges commanding them to pay a price.
Consequences For Their Actions
There was more to it. The authorities gave the full custody of Kelsey to Christin. “After 5 hours of testimony and ‘evidence’ provided by both parties, the magistrate’s decision was for Kelsey to live with mom and her siblings!”
Full Custody
She added further, “A huge weight has been lifted off of everyone’s shoulders and we cannot be any [happier]!!” Although Kelsey was happy that her full custody was given to her mom there were a lot of her favorite things that got left at her father’s house.
