Continued from Page 2
the organization contends
Tilton's show has reported:
— Anthony has lied to the
public about his background to
bolster his credibility;
— Anthony took LSD and ad
vocated use of drugs;
— Anthony advocated
pornography and had sex with
members of the Trinity Founda
tion;
— the Trinity Foundation is a
cult.
In the statement and in a
multi-page document released
to the media, the foundation
disputes each claim and called
the allegation that Anthony had
sex with foundation members
"the most sensational charge."
That charge was made by a
woman who was a member of
Trinity's Bible study 15 years
ago who, according to a signed
affidavit, became sexually in
volved with a member of a
family that took her into their
home as part of the Dallas Pro
ject, which finds shelter for the
homeless.
"When confronted . . . she
chose to leave the group ....
She has become another hurt
ing woman taken advantage of
by Tilton and his ever-present
'adviser' J.C. Joyce in their at
tempts to keep their multi-mil
lion dollar business afloat,"
Guetzlaff read from the state
ment.
The "PrimeTime Live" seg
ment, broadcast in November,
alleged that Tilton used a so
phisticated telemarketing and
direct-mail scheme to raise mil
lions of dollars.
Boy seeks divorce from his mother
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORLANDO, Fla. — Squirming
and chewing a gum drop, a 12-
year-old boy went to court Thurs
day seeking a "divorce" from his
parents in a case that could help
give children more protection
against parental abuse.
Gregory Kingsley, brown
haired and pale, sat in the back of
the courtroom with members of
the foster family he hopes to live
with permanently.
His mother, Rachel Kingsley,
cried as she denied allegations
that she abused, neglected and
abandoned him for most of his
life. In the past eight years, Gre
gory has lived with her only sev
en months.
Mrs. Kingsley also denied that
her fiance, Steve Hack, had re
cently beaten her in the presence
of her two younger sons, who live
with her in St. Louis.
A former sister-in-law, Jeanette
Glenn, detailed instances of abuse
and neglect, accusing Mrs. Kings
ley, 30, of being an alcoholic, a
drug abuser and even a prosti
tute.
Sobbing, Glenn said she hoped
the two younger boys also could
be taken from her "because noth
ing' s going to change .... That's
the pattern for her."
Gregory said he felt unloved
and unwanted most of his life* He
smiled occasionally in court,
chewed on a gum drop and whis
pered to those around him.
The trial was shown live on
CNN and Court TV.
Charmaine Crouse Yoest, poli
cy analyst with the conservative
Family Research Council in
Washington, said, "The ramifica
tions are huge .... You're look
ing at a fundamental shift at the
way we view children."
Howard Davidson, director of
the American Bar Association
Center on Children and the Law,
said it was unlikely that many
children would be hiring lawyers
to sever parental custody in the
future. He said the case was
mainly significant because it had
attracted so much attention, not
vice versa.
"All of the publicity makes it
significant," he said. "To my
knowledge, this is the first time in
American history that a termina-
tion-of-parental-rights hearing
has been broadcast on national
television."
Mrs. Kingsley said she tried
hard to provide the boys a stable
home, but was forced to put them
in foster care because she
couldn't afford to keep them on a
$200-a-week salary.
Under questioning from Gre
gory's foster father, attorney
George Russ, Mrs. Kingsley de
nied she had a history of alco
holism.
Survey depicts black wives as breadwinners
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Working wives bring fi
nancial success to America's black families, the
government said Thursday. Even so, they and
their husbands together earn only 85 cents for
each dollar earned by a similar white couple.
Working couples were the only kind of
black family to see their income rise sharply
compared with whites over the past two
decades, said Claudette Bennett in a Census
Bureau study.
Black single-earner couples and families
headed by men or women alone failed to bet
ter their incomes compared with whites.
"Black married couples today are far more
likely to have wives in the paid labor force,"
Bennett said.
Two out of three black wives work. When
they do, they double the median family in
come to more than $40,000.
Black family incomes lag behind that of
white families even when husband and wife
work because of "the kind of job that the per
son has," Bennett said. In 1990, black men and
women were nearly twice as likely as whites to
work in low-paying service jobs.
Black families in general had median in
comes of $21,548 in 1991, $125 more than the
year before. That amounted to only 57 cents
for every dollar earned by white families.
Young black families earn far less than
whites their age — around 49 cents to the dol
lar for people in their late 20s and early 30s.
Although things seem to improve with age,
blacks' incomes never come close to whites. By
age 35, their income has leveled off at about 60
cents for every dollar earned by white families,
and it stays there through retirement and old
age.
Why have black families overall fared so
poorly if working couples are doing so well?
It's because blacks are less likely to live as mar
ried couples today, said Isabel Sawhil, senior
fellow at the Urban Institute.
Fewer than half of blacks families have a
husband and wife living together today, down
from two-thirds 20 years ago.
So the families with high income have less
impact on the average.
