" Could one of the top “family values” candidates have a big family problem? Documents reviewed by the Hook suggest that Feda Kidd Morton, a Republican seeking the nomination to run for U.S. Congress in the 5th District, lost custody of her four minor children in 2004 over her alleged “anger and bitterness.” Morton has moved to block the custody story, having allegedly secured a temporary injunction stopping anyone from publishing such documents.
“The Fluvanna Circuit Court Judge entered a temporary injunction Friday afternoon , enjoining and prohibiting and others from possessing, disseminating, and/or publishing any and all information, documents, and/or transcripts arising from the proceedings in the juvenile court which you are now in possession of,” Morton’s campaign manager, Aaron Evans, writes in an email to the Hook, one day after a reporter interviewed Morton.
Morton describes herself as a “traditional family values” candidate who opposes abortion and gay marriage. She’s received the endorsements of social conservatives such as Phyllis Schlafly, founder of the Eagle Forum, and former presidential candidate Gary Bauer.“It’s a farce she’s
claiming to be this Christian conservative woman with family values,” says Dennis Kidd.
“She’s not what she’s trying to portray. I just think people need to know who they’re voting for. It just sickens me.”
Dennis Kidd describes the alleged temporary injunction as “a cover-up.” Says the candidate’s former spouse, “They’re trying to pull something slick.”more
