Burger King incident on Shelburne Road regarding Monday January 8, 2007

How I feel about Sunday January 7, 2007. I am in shock of what transpired yesterday. I mentioned earlier to my mother how it could have ended in Robert Meek hitting me with his car and me getting injured or killed. My brother sustained his TBI by getting hit by a car. Robert Meek put me in a lot of danger. The severity of it seems to be coming to the surface of my mind now that I have had a chance to think it over. It also leaves me with many questions. Mainly, why did he show up to intimidate and scare us and why did he try to hit me with his car? Robert Meek had sped from “out of nowhere”and screeched on his brakes coming to a quick stop behind my mother’s car. He jumped out of his car aggressively toward my brother. My brother jumped back and he had every right to. If someone that big was coming at me in that manner, I would try and get away too. He then yelled and swore at us and we taped it because my mother had a camcorder in the back of her car. He verbally assaulted and was very threatening with his behavior. I asked him “Why are you hiding her?” and his response was: “I ain’t hidin’ nothin’”. He accused my brother of abusing children by screaming it across the parking lot. Larkin Forney does not abuse children. And he is good with his daughter. Robert Meek does not have a right to yell lies and behave in the manner that he did in the presence of my 4 year old niece or in the presence of children—and there were many at Burger King. And he didn’t seem to care that I was videotaping it. His behavior was dangerous and out-of-control. He reversed his car wildly and quickly. Thankfully, there was not a child in the parking lot at that time. My niece had been standing in that very parking lot (by herself—her mother was about 25’ away next to her car) only moments before. My niece was witnessing this scene from the backseat of Ashley’ car which was parked in the parking lot further away.
We were at Burger King because the mother of my niece told Larkin that they were going to meet at Burger King and that would be the way---no discussion, or no visit. This would have been the first visit my brother had with his daughter since before December 3, 2006 (the day Ashley was arrested for assaulting her father and brother.) And she refuses to give him her address or telephone number, even though the court requested that we get it since Ashley moves and doesn’t tell us or anyone where she is. And she doesn’t show up to the scheduled court dates.
She claimed I caused a scene at her work in December 2005, when the only scene that was caused, was caused by her. And I left as soon as she mentioned calling the police. I was concerned about the whereabouts of “Molly” and how she was. Ashley’s father kicked her in the stomach when she was 5 ? months pregnant with her other daughter, and he also slammed her head into a solid object when she was pregnant with my niece.
At Burger King yesterday, as soon as I showed up, Ashley (the mother) terminated the visit. In the parking lot she verbally threatened to hurt me and was very aggressively yelling in my face demanding that I get away from her car, in the presence of “Molly”. She verbally assaulted me and then drove off angrily with my niece in the back.
My brother and I went back inside and about 10 minutes later we came outside and stood around my mother’s car talking. We did not notice that Ashley was parked in the farther part of the parking lot with my niece in the back seat probably wondering what was going on. I was certainly not expecting what happened next, to happen.
Robert was waiting for us to come out to intimidate and verbally assault us in the presence of my niece. Ashley had apparently called Robert (her sometimes boyfriend) …and this is what resulted. The mother has no regard for her daughter being around this type of violent, aggressive, threatening behavior (that she herself also exhibits) . She says she doesn’t care when I ask her if she thinks this type of behavior is ok around a child. “Molly” had backed away when her mother was carrying on right in my face— This is the first day that I have seen “Molly” in two years and she remembered me and her eyes lit up when she remembered and she hugged me twice. I repeatedly asked her how she was doing, while also asking Ashley why she was hiding “Molly”. I asked if I could have a hug and she willingly and happily gave me one. I did not request a hug the second time. She hugged me after she hugged her dad (my brother). “Molly” wanted to stay and “play with her friends” and she wanted to eat. Ashley ignored her repeated requests to eat. They walked out into the parking lot and I did not have a chance to interact with “Molly” at all.
There is no reason I should not be allowed to be around my niece, except that Ashley is trying to hide something. I have seen “Molly” lose the sparkle in her eyes. I have to believe that she is subjected to this behavior constantly and most likely other inappropriate behavior around or to children. Yesterday was a dangerous situation that could have ended in tragedy because of Robert Meek and Ashley Terjelian’s blatant disregard for the safety of others.
“Molly” has been moved around from place to place and her mother was recently arrested on charges of domestic assault for assaulting her father and brother. I have been concerned about my niece for a while and now I am more concerned due to the events of Sunday January 7, 2007.
At the Burger King, moments after Ashley went out the door with “Molly”, I thought, “there is no reason Ashley should be behaving like this.” I then began to think how she looked much thinner and had dark circles around her eyes. She did not look well. I’m sure Ashley was not expecting to see me on Sunday. And clearly, she did not want me to see her or “Molly”. Why is she hiding her from me? She started demanding that I get out of her face. And I pointed out for Ashley to “look what you’re doing with her.” She said, I ain’t doing nothing to her….and basically “flips out” on me again.” The last time was March 10, 2005. At this time I also pointed out to her how she was acting in front of “Molly” and, again, she said she didn’t care.
Yesterday was a repeat of 2005. Only scarier.
I had a tape recorder with me in 2005 and I had one with me yesterday. Here is what transpired. (Additionally, there is a video of Robert’s behavior toward us and him almost hitting me with his car. This was not on the audio tape. The video tape is at the So. Burlington Police Department.)
In my opinion, based on the scene that I just saw, I believe that my niece is in a very dangerous situation. There are also many signs and symptoms that abuse is occurring to “Molly”, including sexual abuse. It is not safe for “Molly” to be around this male and her mother who creates this type of environment for her. Robert Meek and Ashley Terjelian need to get help before they hurt someone. Also, Lisa and Paul Terjelian (Ashley’s parents) lie constantly and are trying to hide something regarding the treatment and environment of this little girl.
Kim: Today is Sunday January 7, 2007 and I am going to be attempting to visit with my niece “Molly”, it is a little bit after noon and we are at the Burger King on Shelburne Rd.
I walk in and Larkin making a motion with his arms. Ashley had seen me and demanded that I leave or the visit was over.

Kim:Bye darling. Bye bye sweetie.

Kim: Sorry.
Larkin: No problem.
Kim: Do you want me to foll—
( I turned the tape off here…we walked and then I turned it back on---wasn’t thinking that I was going to go talk to Ashley in the parking lot when I turned it off---I turned it on in the parking lot, right after I say, “Madison is in the middle of the parking lot. I think I’m in a state of confusion regarding Ashley’s behavior and am shocked at it---want to know the truth about why she doesn’t want me to see Madison (or her).
Larkin: (are you) ---sure?
Kim: yeah.
Madison: in background (inaudible)
Kim: Bye Madison, Bye sweetie. How are you? Huh?

Kim: That’s not the case, Ashley.
Ashley: ok
Kim: And you know it. Look how you’re acting.
Ashley: callin’ the kettle black, alright.
Kim: Do you still have the high chair I painted for her?
(Ashley gets in car and slams the door.)
Kim: Or did you throw it away? ….Bye Sweetie, I love you.
Love you baby. Ashley drives off very angrily.
Larkin asks if she is in a car seat
Kim: I don’t think she is, she’s in a tiny, little seat
Larkin: good-bye.
