WESTLAKE
VILLAGE, Calif., July 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The following statement is
from Emily Robinson, attorney for
Alison Chao:
"In May 2024, I was appointed as
counsel for Alison Chao by the
Superior Court of Los Angeles, in
which the custody matter involving Alison is being adjudicated. My
role as her court-appointed counsel is to recommend to the court
what is in Alison's best interests.
We have an extremely competent judge who has thoroughly examined
this case from inside out during the course of multiple court
hearings that have occurred. Based upon my advocacy for Alison, in
consultation with her medical professionals, along with evidence
presented to the court, which has included testimony from both
parents, the judge has made determinations that are solely in
Alison's best interest, including awarding Alison's mother,
Annie Chao, sole decision making
authority regarding Alison's mental health and sole physical
custody of her.
(This information is from the public record and does not
represent a waiving of attorney/client privilege.)
This is a very complex situation that should not be in the
public forum. It is being rendered even more damaging to Alison by
misleading and inaccurate social media posts from third parties
that have virtually no understanding of the facts. Upon being made
aware of these posts, I have reported them to the social media
companies on which they are hosted in the hopes that the companies
will quickly act and take them down due to the inaccuracies
contained therein. The posts are rife with misrepresentations and
false statements and hindered the investigation into Alison's
whereabouts and efforts by her family and the police to ensure her
safe return.
It is imperative that this third-party interference end
immediately so that this young girl's privacy is protected. The
damage this is doing to her regaining any semblance of normalcy now
that this is over cannot be overstated. The third-party posts from
social media "influencers" relating to this case have been
absolutely irresponsible and replete with false statements. As
Alison's attorney, if you wish to help her, as you claim, you will
stop posting about this matter."
