Deadbeat Dad Tries to Profit From Son's Death
Thursday, June 21, 2007
OUTRAGE OF THE WEEK
He wasn't in the picture for decades, but that hasn't stopped a deadbeat dad from New York from trying to get death benefits from his son who died on Nine-Eleven. Elise Goss-Caldwell was awarded about three million dollars after her son, Kenny, died in the attacks. But now, her ex-husband, Leon, wants half of the money even though he testifed in court that he left his wife and two sons in the 1970's and never even tried to get visitation.
"He was never there for my boys, physically, emotionally or financially," said Goss-Caldwell. "And it's so hurtful that he's trying to come back now just for the money."
Caldwell's living son says he and his brother never got so much as a birthday car from their father. He says leon Caldwell's attempt to profit from his death is "deplorable."
