Happy Easter! I am back with the conclusion of the case. Buckle up, it is a bumpy ride, and I am running everyone over**.
The cast: Kerry Ann Pangere, GAL; mother, father #1, father #2 (my husband), father #3 (stepdad), stepmother (me), child #1 (child of mother and father #1), child #2 (child of mother and father #2), child #3 (stepmother's and father #2's child), child #4 (child of mother and father #3).
This is more for Kerry's benefit, as she was never able to keep everyone straight. This is to be expected as she never did any proper investigation or research. I will extend some grace here, as this would be difficult for anyone to follow such a low-class and trashy family dynamic. I am thoroughly embarrassed to be even tangentially related to these people.
After two years, the protective order we had in place has expired. Kerry was pivotal in making that happen. I will not rehash what I have already posted. I am going to provide details to paint a better picture. After Kerry stated that we wanted to extend the PO in order to "punish mother" I knew then the case was over. She believes we wanted to keep a child away from the person who s*xually assaulted them for over a year as a way to "punish the mother". As Kerry continued to lose her mind because we wanted to extend the PO, it became obvious she was in direct contact with mother. When father #1 told us he was in agreement with extending the PO, Kerry stated father #1 had not spoken to child #1 for months. Father #1 told us child #1 just visited him for Christmas (2025) break. Kerry reinforced the heart of the issue: mother made unilateral decisions and continues to do so without any consequences to her. Plenty of consequences to the children, but none to her.
Kerry ADVOCATED for the child to be back with her ab*ser. That is what Kerry concluded at the end of our conference in November 2025. After having several conversations with father #1 I have some great insight into the manipulations and machinations of mother and how that has adversely affected the children and this case. I believe one of the reasons Kerry has been against father #2 is because mother has been in her ear whispering accusations about father #2 to her. I feel so sorry for the children and now I feel sorry for Kerry. She was so easily manipulated, I pity her
During the conference we stated that child was cited for vaping at their middle school. Kerry stated all kids vape and it's so common now. I believe we could have said anything and Kerry would wave it away as normal or common behavior for a child. Nothing the child has done since this case has opened has been normal.
We have caught Kerry in a few lies over the course of the case. Here is one. At the end of child's visit last year (2025) we told Kerry we were concerned that child #2 and mother were lying about a few interactions I had with child. I have proof that child and mother conspired to lie and then told Kerry this lie. Kerry told father she has only heard good things about me (this is a bold faced lie) and is so disappointed in father for even bringing this concern to her.
Detective Sergeant Ryan Olson was the detective in this case. Olson told me "these things are usually handled within the family." The "these things" he is referring to are inc*st and s*xual ab*se.The ab*ser was criminally charged and the ab*ser was eventually adjudicated guilty and punished.
Twan Stokes, regional manager at Indiana Department of Child Services, was the supervisor to Hayley Andrews. The s*xual ab*se was substantiated and then mother filed an action to have the report unsubstantiated and Andrews and Stokes approved this action without involving us.
The only Crown Point agency that held these people accountable was the Lake County Juvenile Court. We filed the PO with Michael Brown, the county clerk. We were elated to learn that less than an hour later the PO was approved and in effect ex parte. Thank you to Timothy Haraminac and HON Thomas Stefaniak Jr. for keeping the ab*ser away from child #2 for two years.
When we attempted to extend the PO in January 2026 we were thwarted by our own counsel (on the advice of Kerry) and the PO's jurisdiction was moved out of juvenile court to family court. Kerry never interviewed me or anyone else from our side. I am the one who reported the ab*se to DCS and the police. I also reported the first instance of ab*se involving these children in 2014 to Escambia County in Florida. I am the outcry witness in both these cases. We are saddened by the outcome but we have come to terms with it. I wish the children well in life and in all their future endeavors.
I will update accordingly.
