Judge bars motorcycle rides for 2-year-old in Paul-Mortensen custody case

Dakota Mortensen was admonished by a Utah judge for letting his and Taylor Frankie Paul’s 2-year-old son Ever ride on an electric bike during a custody hearing. The commissioner emphasized that a child that age should not be on a motorcycle or electric vehicle and should ride in a car seat or with age-appropriate restraints. Mortensen’s attorney argued the ride was brief and helmeted, but the judge insisted on safety moving forward. The hearing also expanded Paul’s parenting time with Ever and involved mutual protective orders as the couple remains in a lengthy custody dispute.

Collin Gosselin claims Kate Gosselin sent him to a behavioral facility to dodge cameras

Collin Gosselin says his mother Kate Gosselin sent him to a behavioral facility in 2016 when he was 12 because he didn’t want to be filmed, claiming his questioning of her and the show contributed to the decision; he spent nearly two years there before Jon Gosselin gained custody in 2018, and he hints that Kate’s reputation may have played a role. Kate has attributed his behavior to mental illness and says she acted to protect the family; Collin’s memoir, In the Shadow of Eight, is forthcoming, and Kate’s representative did not promptly comment.

Utah Father's Custody Battle Ends in Mechanicville Family Tragedy

Brady Harmon, a Utah father who had fought for years to see his four children, was days from reuniting with them under a court-ordered plan when Salt Lake City police said all four were found dead in a Mechanicville, New York, apartment, along with their mother, Sarah Myers, and their grandmother, Amy Steadman. Authorities said one child likely suffered fatal sharp-force injuries and evidence points to intentional poisoning; causes and manners of death are pending. A handwritten note found in the apartment strongly suggested Steadman’s involvement, though investigators have not confirmed motives. Harmon had last seen his children in 2019, with ongoing efforts to enforce the parenting plan, including limited FaceTime visits; he said he was due to discuss arrangements in Utah before the killings.
