Mother Found In Contempt Of Court Again

A mother from Illinois has been found in contempt of court for the seventh time.  Jennifer Watkins missed another court hearing for denying visitation rights to her daughter's grandparents, Dale and Penny Watkins.  Dale and Penny haven't seen their granddaughter since November 2010 after Jennifer fled to Florida.  She moved to Florida after her grandmother shot and killed her estranged husband.  Cass County Judge Bob Hardwick has repeatedly ordered Jennifer to appear for temporary custody exchanges.  She was arrested in Florida in March 2011 for stopping the visitations but won her battle against extradition.  An attorney for Dale and Penny says Jennifer is making a total mockery of the court orders, the justice system and the case.  Still, Penny says she won't give up hope on seeing her granddaughter.
