In a recent court hearing, significant discussions centered around the custody of two children amid allegations of abuse and violations of a child protective order involving Glenn Conger. The hearing, presided over by Judge Evershed, addressed a motion filed by Philip, the children's other parent, seeking temporary custody modifications due to concerns of immediate and irreparable harm to the children.

The court heard evidence that a child protective order was issued against Conger on February 5, 2024, following a thorough evidentiary hearing. Judge Evershed determined that the children were either being abused or were in imminent danger of abuse. The order explicitly prohibited Conger from contacting the children or approaching their residence. However, it was revealed that Conger had repeatedly violated this order, including a meeting with the children at a diner, which Cassandra, the children's mother, facilitated despite knowing the restrictions.

Philip's counsel argued that Cassandra's actions demonstrated a disregard for the protective order, raising concerns about her credibility and the ongoing risk Conger posed to the children. The argument emphasized that allowing contact between Conger and the children, despite the protective order, could lead to further harm, necessitating a change in custody to ensure their safety.

In contrast, Cassandra's attorney contended that the allegations of abuse were not substantiated by law enforcement or child protective services, suggesting that the court's previous findings indicated a risk rather than confirmed abuse. They argued that the children's own testimonies did not support claims of physical abuse, framing the situation as a misunderstanding rather than a clear threat.

As the hearing concluded, the court was tasked with determining whether the evidence presented warranted a change in custody to Philip, with the aim of protecting the children from potential harm. The decision will hinge on the court's assessment of the immediate risks involved and the best interests of the children moving forward.
