Judge Gives Hunter Johnson’s Dad Emergency Custody and Blocks Falen and Kris Vaughn From Contact

The ruling signals the court sees an immediate risk to the teen.

Overview

  • A Crawford County judge granted emergency temporary custody to Casey Johnson and suspended the parenting time of Hunter’s mother, Stacie Riddle, citing immediate risk of harm.
  • The order bars Falen and Kris Vaughn from contacting 14-year-old Hunter except for a supervised visit approved by Casey.
  • The judge also restricted Hunter’s presence in social media posts and cut off use of a phone that the Vaughns had provided.
  • Casey’s filing alleges “highly inappropriate” and frequent messages between Falen and Hunter, including a text saying, “We’ve done so much for you and think of you like our son,” which remains an allegation in court records.
  • Related cases continue, including a May 29 hearing in Casey’s bid for custody of infant Wes and ongoing fallout from Falen Vaughn’s recent arrest on misdemeanor charges.
