N.J. man saves son but not Jeep: Gets 2 police tickets

BY BOB HOLT

When Frank Roder of Winfield Park, N.J. accidently left his Jeep in drive on a hill because his 5-year-old son Aidan was running unabated towards a 35-foot embankment, the car slid into a river. The police decided to give him two tickets totaling $110, one for not putting his emergency brake on and another for lacking proof of car insurance.

Roder said, according to abc13.com, "I panicked and grabbed the windshield washer thing and thought it was the gear for park.”

Despite the extenuating circumstances regarding Roder’s son, the police still blamed Roder for being careless.

Roder said the officer told him, according to Sympatico.ca Autos, "If you would have taken the five seconds to apply the brake, this never would have happened! I say, 'Really? And if I did and my boy stepped over the edge and fell instead of the Jeep, then were would I be?' He says, 'Jail, for child endangerment.'"

In regards to the second ticket, Roder could not have provided adequate proof of insurance, for the insurance was in his Jeep that went into the river.

CBS New York reported that in the police report, the officers wrote that Roder’s SUV was “left in gear, in the drive position,” raising the question: did he purposely total the Jeep? Roder denied the accusation, saying, “I wouldn’t bring my kid to do something stupid like that.”

Police are given some discretion about writing tickets, according to Union County Police Chief Daniel Vaniska. He told FoxNews.com, “The fellow will have an opportunity to tell his story in court," which will be on Wednesday, May 30.

Try going to that lot and ATTEMPT to find a "cliff". Take a look at the jeep's turn signal lever and see whether it was broken when he mistakenly used it in an attempt to place the jeep in "park". The passenger compartment was never in the
water, look at the picture! He's
lucky no one was fishing at the
base of the gently sloping "cliff"! "cliff"! I used to run down that "cliff" as a kid! The lot he stopped in is flat..,he left the jeep in drive! He keeps embellishing his story; next he'll be telling us how the cop tried to throw his kid over the side! Typical loser who wants to blame everyone except the guilty party...HIMSELF!

Children can be conned out of inheritance after multiple marriages

BY CAROL ABAYA NEWJERSEYNEWSROOM.COM THE SANDWICH GENERATION Multiple marriages and blended families can mean children get cheated out of money and assets their parent(s) earned and had before the second or third marriage. At the 2012 senior citizens’ law day conference, Lawrence A. Friedman, Bridgewater elder law attorney, said elders need to protect their children of prior marriages from being disinherited. "Even if your spouse’s current will provides for your children, your spouse may change it after you pass away,” he said. In addition to protecting one's child, an appropriate will can minimize N.J. estate taxes, which kick in if assets are over $675,000. At the conference, Cathyanne Pisciotta from North Brunswick discussed guardianship which could be necessary if various legal documents are not signed. Pisciotta said that if a person does not have a durable power of attorney (for financial affairs) and a living will (for medical decisions), anyone else can seek guardianship of that person. An expensive court proceeding is mandatory. And she said, “If one person seeks guardianship, someone else can challenge the appointment. Another relative may seek to be appointed guardian because he/she wants the money and power.”
