Father Landed Son In Juvenile Lock Up

Sandy Fonzo, the aggrieved and grieving mother who confronted Mark A. Ciavarella Jr. outside a federal courthouse last week after his conviction in the kids-for-cash case, blames her son's suicide on the former Luzerne County Juvenile Court judge, who jailed her son at 17.

Her son's father, Edward R. Kenzakoski Jr., at least in part, blames himself.

"I basically framed him with my buddies," Kenzakoski said Tuesday.

Kenzakoski, a 44-year-old Bear Creek Township man employed in construction, said he planted drug paraphernalia in his son's truck about seven years ago, leading to his initial appearance in juvenile court.
