Even so, what astounds me (and no one seems to agree with me) is that a court-appointed guardian of a 5-month-old baby was awarded custody of the remains. I have not really researched the case, but in the report I did read (CNN-dot-com) it stated that Milstein got custody of the remains, and described him as guardian ad litem - defined as a court appointed guardian for a minor child. How is it in anyone's best interest (or entirely legal, for that matter) that he would qualify, in favor of even previously estranged blood relatives?
I'm right with you, DC. The guardian ad litem is just for a child, how Milstein got custody of the remains baffles me. The only thing I can figure is that he is supposed to be "non-partisan", so maybe that had some bearing on things? If I were the funeral home having to deal with all of this, I would tell them that there wasn't enough money in the world to pay me to deal with these clowns.
