Reunification Day celebrates return to parenthood

Reunification Day celebrates return to parenthood - JSOnline

Sunday will be Deryck Leonard's first real Father's Day in a few years.

He doesn't know if his sons have anything planned, but they'll be with him.

"They're a joy," he said about Deryck Jr., 8, and Demetrius, 3.

In 2008, Leonard's ex-girlfriend had custody of his sons and he visited on weekends. During the summer, Leonard's children were taken from their mother's home and placed in foster care. Leonard didn't know why, and Judge Marshall Murray, presiding judge of Milwaukee County Children's Court, said that because he was not responsible for their care, he wouldn't know all the details of why the children were removed.
