Lisa Miller remains on the lam after violating custody order

The Associated Press reported on Friday that Lisa Miller failed to obey a judge's order to turn over her daughter to her former partner Janet Jenkins. Miller's whereabouts, and those of her daughter Isabella, are unknown:

Miller and Jenkins were joined in a Vermont civil union in 2000. Isabella was born to Miller through artificial insemination in 2002. The couple broke up in 2003, and Miller moved to Virginia, renounced homosexuality and became an evangelical Christian.

When Vermont Family Court Judge William Cohen dissolved the couple's civil union, he awarded custody to Miller but granted liberal visitation rights to Jenkins.

The supreme courts of Virginia and Vermont ruled in favor of Jenkins, saying the case was the same as a custody dispute between a heterosexual couple. The case was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which declined to hear arguments on it.

Cohen awarded custody to Jenkins on Nov. 20 after finding Miller in contempt of court for denying Jenkins access to the girl. The judge said the only way to ensure equal access to the child was to switch custody.

Box Turtle Bulletin has an update here. Truth Wins Out reports:

Debbie Thurman, ex-gay activist, has deleted her blog titled The Formers following a post in which she affirmed the kidnapping of young Isabella Miller by her non-custodial parent. Thurman had called the apparent parental abduction an act of Christian “civil disobedience” which constituted “true motherhood.”

God help that child.
