Overview
- The three children of Catherine and Nathan Trevallion remain in the Vasto care home under an order from the Juvenile Court of L’Aquila.
- Tutor Maria Luisa Palladino refused the mother’s request for a second pediatric evaluation by a specialist from Chieti, calling it superfluous and procedurally premature.
- Defense lawyers contest the refusal, saying it prevents an independent reassessment of the child’s condition after the entry diagnosis.
- Court documents describe the parents as rigid and poorly collaborative, noting resistance to treatment recommendations tied to the bronchitis with bronchospasm finding.
- A court-appointed psychiatric evaluation led by Simona Ceccoli is underway with videorecorded sessions and a report due within 120 days, while the family has named psychiatrist Tonino Cantelmi and psychologist Martina Aiello as their consultants.
