Viva Las Vegas
All the attention in the search for Jennifer Lopez-DeJohng seems to have focused on Las Vegas. Officials are looking to Sin City for signs of Lopez, her husband George Dejohng and her three children Brian, 8, and twins Evan and Christian, 6.
Meanwhile Congressman Gary Miller has been pretty silent about the whole case. There are some serious allegations out there and they are starting to become known. Jude Lopez, Jennifer's father appeared on John and Ken today and laid out his family's side of the story.
Gary Miller also appeared on the show. And apparently there were fireworks, according to the talk show hosts.
Miller's spokesman Scott Toussaint promised the congressman would call here. We're still waiting.

I hate how this story is being played out for the public. Jennifer is a great mother, I had the pleasure of meeting her while out children played for the Whittier Redskins in Whittier. She is so devoted to her 3 kids, she even volunteered to be Asst Athletic Director (which is lots of work). I am not sure how much of his political power and money the Congress man used to get those kids from her, but it's a shame he will take those kids from their mother. True she might not have the financial means he does, but it doesn't make her any less of a person than he is. I hope the Congress man really thinks about those kids and doesn't take their mother away when they are found or when they return. This is an unfair fight where a simple mother cannot even complete with the money and connections this man has.
Jennifer I wish you and the boys well. And do know the Redskins family supports you and your boys.

Someone should contact Gloria Alread who is such an advocate of what is right and help Jennifer protect her children. Mrs Alread has the same if not more political pull and money as the Congress Man. Jennifer has to be so terrified to do what is being asked of her. I admire her new husband for standing by her. I am sure as an insider he knows more than we do.
For the people who wrote about knowing her in High School, I cannot stress enough that most humans mature from the age of 16-18 to 30yrs....also becoming a mother makes you a totally different person.
If you don't believe the father is capable of domestic, physical and sexual abuse......how do you explain the fact he pleaded to domestic violence I am sure at the time he know that seriousness of doing such thing, his father had money and was knowledgeable to he must of had some sort of legal advise before doing so. There is also a therapist, who has reported him, I am very doubtful someone would put that information out there is it wasn't true.
Now after a child gets a black eye, one accused dad of sexual misconduct why would a judge allow them to go stay with the parents of the person this children fear and act out against. The father will have total access to them. If something does happen to them the Congressman and his wife will not seek help for the kids.
I am sure that Judge is in some form connected with the Congressman.....this is more than someone scratching someone's back. This is child abuse at it's best. If all a child know it's mom, why would you just ripped them from all they know.....that can be extremely physiological damaging. If indeed they are in counseling wouldn’t' being taken from their daily environment be even more detrimental. This is logical.
Ive heard it for months how crazy the Congressmans son is, I just read that he controls his anger now on the newest release in the sgv tribune? Lies. What a joke this is, the whole thing is one big JOKE. The Rep. Miller and their family should NOT get custody of anyone especially children. Not even a damn dog! The guy controls this situation like a front seat mobb figure. The mother Jennifer Lopez belongs with her children. The past records of the crazy ex prove it. Look at the facts. If they had the money this congressman has(who takes care of all his adult sons issues) This whole dispute would be over and Jennifer Lopez would have custody. My prayers are with Jennifer and her husband because this makes no sense and its sad to see things like this happen.
