  • Kate Gosselin: Did She Enlist Daughters Cara and Mady to Spy on Dad Jon Gosselin During Visits?

    Kate Gosselin recently came under fire when court documents surfaced indicating Jon Gosselin believed she was abusing their eight children by feeding them moldy food and leaving them for days on end in the care of a teenage babysitter. Now a new report says the former Kate Plus 8 star also enlisted older daughters Cara and Mady Gosselin to spy on their dad, Jon Gosselin, during visits to his home.

    RadarOnline reports that Berks County, Pennsylvania civil court papers indicate that Kate Gosselin sent the girls to their dad’s home with cell phones so they could report back to her on their father’s actions. Jon Gosselin had a problem with his twin daughters having cell phones at that time, since they were only 10 years old. He reportedly told Kate the girls could call her from his cell phone if they wanted to talk with her.

    “Father has told Mother that he does not want the girls bringing their cell phones with them during his custodial time as the girls are constantly texting Mother to ‘report’ on what Father is doing,” Jon’s attorneys stated in the documents, adding that the concerned father believed the twins were “too young” for mobile phones,” the papers quote a lawyer as stating.

    “Father has a phone that the children can use if they want to speak to Mother, so it is not necessary for the girls to bring their own phones with them,” the lawyers explained.

    This isn’t the first time Kate Gosselin has been accused of spying on Jon Gosselin either. She ordered her nannies to keep tabs on what Jon said to their children during phone conversations, too.

    “ALWAYS listen with one ear to hear what they are saying,” Kate Gosselin allegedly wrote in a rules book. “You are always my eyes and ears and need to report everything you see and hear!!!”

    What do you make of Kate Gosselin enlisting the help of her older daughters to spy on Jon Gosselin? Hasn’t enough time gone by since they divorced for her to simply leave his relationship with their kids alone?

    Kate Gosselin Accused of Child Abuse by Ex Jon Gosselin in Court Documents

    Kate Gosselin has long been accused of abusing the eight children she shares with ex Jon Gosselin. However, court documents filed by Jon reveal Kate’s abuse of the children may be far worse than suspected.

    In 2010, Jon Gosselin filed court documents detailing his concern over Kate’s use of physical punishment. The recently released documents reveal that Kate Gosselin allegedly spanked one of the children so hard that a “large red welt on her rear end,” which Jon allegedly noticed the day after the incident.

    Other claims in the 2010 court documents include accusations that Kate Gosselin would lock the children in their bedrooms, refusing to let them out even to go to the bathroom. These were apparently standing orders to which the babysitter would adhere.

    Jon Gosselin also claims in documents filed with Berks County, Pennsylvania Court that Kate Gosselin “switched the doorknobs on the bedrooms so the doors only lock from the outside.”

    Jon Gosselin’s contention is that switching the doorknobs and Kate Gosselin‘s habit of locking the children in at night poses a fire hazard.

    “Father is greatly concerned for the children’s safety,” claim the documents.

    The court documents further claim Kate’s control of the children is unhealthy.

    “Mother must provide FRESH lunch each day for children. It has been observed by Father, and said by children that when they do not eat an item in their lunch, Mother packs that exact item the next day, and the next day until they eat it. Hannah reported having moldy strawberries, and Alexis said her sandwich is stale. Leah said she had some food left over from lunch for many weeks. This is unhealthy.”

  • Kate Gosselin: Do Court Documents Show She Abused Her Children?

    Kate Gosselin has long been questioned with regard to the way she is raising her eight children. Following her split from Jon Gosselin, he was vocal about not liking it when Kate allowed the kids to appear on her Kate Plus 8 reality show. Now some court documents have surfaced, thanks to RadarOnline, that indicate Jon believed Kate Gosselin was abusing their eight kids. How much of this do you suppose is true?

    It’s important to understand that these documents date back to 2010–shorty after Jon and Kate Gosselin got divorced.

    Some of the allegations of abuse against Kate Gosselin that appear in a document titled “Father’s Statement of Issues” include the following:

    1. Physical Marks On Children: On Tuesday, October 19, 2010, while bathing Leah, Father found large red welt on her rear end. Leah explained that it was from Mother, after Leah bit Hannah, and it had happened on Thursday, before Mother left. While Father would prefer that Mother not physically discipline the children, if Mother is going to do so, she should not do so to the point of leaving marks on children. Several children have come forward to
    Father complaining that they get hurt when Mother spanks them.

    2. Right Of First Refusal: Father has requested that he be given the option of caring for the children when Mother is unable to care for the children overnight during her custodial
    time. Mother has refused to agree to this request. Recently, Mother traveled with the two older children for 6 days and left the six younger children in the care of a 19-year old babysitter.
    Father was available, however, Mother refused to let the children stay with Father and/or allow Father to stay in her home with the children. Mother has also instructed her babysitters that they
    are not to contact Father and/or provide Father with any information and/or accept phone calls from Father.

    3. School lunches: Mother must provide FRESH lunch each day for children. It has been observed by Father, and said by children that when they do not eat an item in their lunch, Mother packs that exact item the next day, and the next day until they eat it. Hannah reported having moldy strawberries, and Alexis said her sandwich is stale. Leah said she had some food
    left over from lunch for many weeks. This is unhealthy.

    4. Taking Away Or Throwing Away Any Toys, Stuffed Animals, Pictures Brought Home From Fathers: Children have explained concern that they cannot safely bring any gifts, toys, pictures, or stuffed animals home from Father’s house. Mother takes them away, and throws them out. Children have independently decided to hide certain toys, etc. around their room but fear everyday that they will be found and thrown away. Mother must not throw things out without asking Father first.

    These are only four out of many issues that were included on the documents filed in court by Jon Gosselin, indicating that Kate Gosselin may have been abusing their children.

    Of course it’s important to acknowledge that there are two sides to every story, but this many complaints definitely raises concerns.

    Kate Gosselin shared her dismay at the allegations of child abuse being brought back to the media forefront.

    What do you make of these accusations against Kate Gosselin? Do you think she is capable of abusing or of having abused her eight children?
