Sisters Disappear During Parents’ Bitter Custody, Divorce Battle; Man Reveals He Was With Mom When She Picked Up Runaway Daughters; Mom Says She Will Continue to Fight to See Her Children
BREAKING NEWS: on July 28th, 2016, a jury found Sandra Grazzini-Ruckio guilty of six felony counts. "It is simply inappropriate and unacceptable for any parent to hide their children and keep them from the custodial parent in violation of a court order for any amount of time," said Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom. "The almost two and a half years that these children were hidden led to significant trauma to her daughters and caused significant adverse impacts to the rest of her family. We are pleased with the jury’s decision in this matter."
Synopsis of Footprints in the Snow: Dr. Paul Reitman, a court-appointed psychologist and expert in the field of parental alienation, stated that Sandra seemed to be suffering from a personality disorder. Two days later, the judge ordered that Sandra move out of her house. Sandra’s sister Nancy Olson moved in and became the children’s temporary guardian, and Sandra and David were both ordered to have no unsupervised contact with the children. Then the indisputable truth comes out that proves just how much of a liar Sandra is and that it is not about the children but about her narcissistic/borderline injury. The children then do well living with their father and the oldest son comes out with the truth that he was manipulated and say the horrible things about his father that he knew were not true.
The Most Important Excerpt: "Grazzini-Rucki's strongest proof that her husband was abusive was always the testimony of her children, but her oldest son Nico, who once also claimed his father was abusive, now says that after his parents split his mother began subtly poisoning him against his father." "One of the five children, Nico Rucki, was 16 when his mother told him she had lost custody. Nico says of his mother: “She told me to run… and, like, don’t come back home, because if I came back home the police would get me.” Nico reveals that before his sisters Samantha and Gianna ran away in 2013, Samantha called him a traitor. The girls were found two years later at a horse ranch that helps abused children heal by working with rescue horses."
