Police: Mom ordered daughters out, drove off

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. - Usually, it's an empty threat: "If you kids don't stop fighting, I'm going to stop this car right now and leave you here!" But a mother from an upper-crust New York suburb went through with it, ordering her battling 10- and 12-year-old daughters out of her car in White Plains' business district and driving off, police said Tuesday.

A judge on Wednesday modified a temporary order of protection against 45-year-old Madlyn Primoff and her two daughters. Her lawyer, Vincent Briccetti, said Primoff is no longer barred from living or talking with her children.

Primoff, a partner in a Manhattan law firm, pleaded not guilty to a charge of endangering a child on Monday.

Briccetti would not comment on details of the case. But he said, "Madlyn is a great mother connected with a great family, and she is grateful for the outpouring of support from friends and family."

There wasn't much support from strangers, however. Mothers interviewed near the scene said they couldn't imagine doing what Primoff did, though some understood the urge.

Iris Gorodess, 49, of Mahopac, who has four children ranging from 10 to 19 years old, said she sympathized with Primoff's actions, right up to the point where she pulled away.

"I used to pull over and make the kids change seats. Also, I make sure the kids have their iPods and their games. And I have a minivan, so they're not up my neck all the time.

"But I can't see pulling away. That has to be too scary for the children."

'Good Samaritan' finds one girl
White Plains police said Primoff ordered the arguing girls out of the car Sunday evening as they were driving home. She left them at Post Road and South Broadway, an area of shops and offices 3 miles from their home, then drove off, the police report said.

The report does not say whether the girls had cell phones.

Police would not say if Primoff ever returned to look for the girls, but they said, without explaining how, that the 12-year-old eventually caught up with the mother. The 10-year-old was found by a "Good Samaritan" on the street, upset and emotional about losing her mother, police said.

The girl gave police her mother's name and their address in well-to-do Scarsdale, and they asked Scarsdale police to check Primoff's $2 million house. Shortly afterward, Primoff called Scarsdale police from home to say the 10-year-old was missing, said Scarsdale Detective Lt. Bryant Clark.

Dunno...naturally it turns into a 3 ring circus, in these days. I doubt the kids
are traumatized and, not sure most of us haven't felt like doing it, for effect.

The PC aka The Perfect Course of being a parent is in full vogue these days, imo.
Combine that with the zealous media/cops reacting and, it's a poifect mess.

Like this is the first time this has happened in history.

haha my parents would of done that to me, i dont see the big deal, 3 miles, besides im sure the mother was just circling the block, how else did the daught "catch" up to her, and what a shitty sister that is leaving her kid sis behind, that whole family is all about abandoness wtf


stupid people really piss me off

Of course child protective services had to get involved........:rolleyes:

Yes, they are a good bunch. Only 14 kids died last year under their watchful eyes.

Big woop... I walked 7 miles once to home back in UA for arguing with my dad... was 10 years old and came home at 10pm after about a good 5 hr walk... and got grounded.
Didn't talk in the car at all for the next 2 years.
LOLL

PS: no stupid commercial area either a good 4 miles away from any civilization on a highway.
