Witness in child pornography cose
wants to remain in safe foster care
Associated Press
BROWNSVILLE — The mother
of a teen-age girl being held as a
material witness in a pornography
case went to court Tuesday in an ef
fort to regain custody of her daugh
ter.
But the 14-year-old girl told State
District Judge Menton Murray Jr.
that she wanted to stay in foster care
until the end of the trials of two ac
cused pornographers.
“I feel it would be more safe if I
stayed here in foster care until the
trial is over,” the girl said.
The girl, a runaway from Mis
souri, allegedly posed nude for two
Brownsville men who have been in
dicted on charges of inducing sexual
performance by a child.
She has been in the Cameron
County Juvenile Detention Center
since July 10. A $5,000 bond is
needed for her release.
But Assistant District Attorney
Gustavo Garza and attorney Gail
Kahn, who was appointed as the
girl’s legal guardian, urged that the
girl continue to be held in foster
care.
“She wants to be released, but she
doesn’t want to go back to Missouri,”
Kahn said. “Because of the testi
mony she is going to make she feels
she would not be protected. She
wants to remain in foster care. I un
derstand her fears.”
Kahn was appointed last week as
the girl’s guardian because the
mother had failed to appear for two
previous hearings.
Attorney Larry Warner, however,
urged that the girl be turned over to
her mother, who said she now can
control her runaway daughter.
“1 love my daughter and 1 wn
her with me," the mother told iht
court. “I think 1 can keep dost
enough tabs on her to keep her Iron
running away.”
But Garza insisted the girl did ntt
obey her mother and it would bei
problem getting her back totrialu
testily. He also said the mother, i
widow who has three otherchildr«
at home, was not responsible enougi
to care for the girl.
But the woman said she misstt
the previous hearings because sli
was told not to Ik.* in Brownsvillem
til Tuesday. She said she alreadylui
enrolled her daughter in a menu
health clinic and planned to plao
her in school.
The judge took the case under*!
visement and said he would ruleit
day.
