Celebrity Justice
Virgie Goes to Bahamas Seeking Guardianship

Posted Mar 15th 2007 4:10PM by TMZ Staff

Virgie Arthur just won't go away. She'll be in the Bahamas tomorrow, asking a judge to award her guardianship of Dannielynn -- this, according to Court TV Correspondent Jean Casarez.

Stern, Birkhead, Virgie Arthur
Jean tells TMZ that Virgie wants guardianship pending a ruling on who's the daddy.

But there are several obstacles standing in her way. In addition to the fact that Anna detested Virgie, Jean has learned that the Supreme Court of the Bahamas has directed Social Services on the island to do a background check on her. Social Services will also do background checks on Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead. The findings will be revealed in court tomorrow.

And speaking of Social Services, Jean learned that there is no current investigation as to whether Dannielynn is currently in safe care with Howard K. Stern. That's because no formal complaint has ever been lodged.

6. It seems funny that one of her complaints about Anna being buried in the Bahamas was that she wouldn't have enough money to travel there to put flowers on her grave. It seems to me she isn't having any problem getting there when she wants to. Splash News footing the bill perhaps?

7. I believe Virgie will only go after custody if the child is awarded to Stern.

I am shocked to learn no child services have ever been sent to check on the baby, I thought that it was reported by Barth via a tv interview that the baby was fine and social services confirmed it?

Unbelieveable.....he has had that baby holed up @ Horizons being cared for by a woman who is not even a relative....Dannilynne is being cared for by 2 non relatives and the blood relatives are denied her. This is too much!

8. The first, and most immediate, step for Larry to get his DNA test on the baby and eventually custody of the little girl is for Vergie to get temporary guardianship. She's safer with Vergie than with HKS in the Bahamas. And while the publicity is so huge right now, the baby is sure to be handled with great care by whomever she lives with ... as long as it's in the US.

10. Virgie Arthur has EVERY right in the world to try and get Dannielynn. She is the only blood connection to this baby at the moment. This baby needs her Grandma. Quit trash talking her TMZ and everyone else. If she didn't try to get her, what would all of you say?

11. Even Cops do bad things. Virgie just because she might have some of the same blood does not make her good for this baby. I also read today that in Anna's diary on sale on Ebay, Anna tells all on why she HATES her mom and that it is a biggy. None of KNOW this woman and if her daughter had such BAD things to say about her maybe we should give that some consideration before we hand over a child just because they have some blood the same. Scary !!! Just because you can have children does not make it something you should do.

12. It was reported on Court TV today that social services did go to the house and found the baby to be clean, happy and healthy. So they left with no finding. Did I hear this reported wrong today?

14. Who in the Bahamas lame brain sense of Justice and Immigration will be doing these "background" checks? The minister of "look the other way"? I cant imagine if they do a bona fide background check that Stern would pass or come in looking better than Birk or Virgie. Virgies background includes being a police officer. Give the Grandmother the child and be done with it. These other two tag alongs have proved to be nothing short of hideous as men, fathers and human beings.
