Jon Gosselin Accuses Kate Gosselin of Abusing Their 8 Children
Reality TV personality Kate Gosselin has just been accused by her ex-husband, Jon Gosselin, of abusing their eight children, an allegation she has vehemently denied.
The "Kate Plus 8" reality star is under fire from accusations leveled upon her by former husband and reality show partner, Jon Gosselin, who has filed an action in court alleging her abuse of their eight children. Court documents filed at the Berks County Court in Pennsylvania detail the alleged abuses the 39-year-old mother of a pair of twins and sextuplets committed.
In Jon Gosselin's statement, he reported finding physical marks on the children, who admitted their mother physically disciplined them regularly.

He has also alleged Kate Gosselin left her six younger sextuplets, Aaden, Joel, Collin, Hannah, Leah, and Alexis with a baby sitter for six days while she traveled with the older twins, Mady and Cara, refusing to give Jon Gosselin the option of caring for the children while she was away. She further instructed the babysitter to refuse the children's father entry to their home, nor accept phone calls from him, or provide him with any information on the children, violating the right of first refusal.
The court documents also contain information detailing the children's school lunches. Kate Gosselin allegedly packs the same lunch for the children if they come home with items still uneaten. According to Hannah and Leah, they have had moldy strawberries, stale sandwiches and weeks' old food for lunch.
Kate Gosselin has also allegedly thrown out toys, gifts, pictures and stuffed animals Jon Gosselin has given the children, leading some of them to hide their possessions and live with fear their mother will find them eventually.
Another accusation involves Kate Gosselin locking the children in their bedrooms at night, refusing to let them out even to go to the bathroom. According to Jon Gosselin, Kate Gosselin switched the children's bedroom doorknobs so they would lock only from the outside.
These allegations have had Kate Gosselin taking to social media and posting angry tweets about the spitefulness of the claims, saying they were dismissed five years ago during a custody battle following their divorce.
The court documents state that Jon Gosselin is seeking additional custody and the option to care for his children when his ex-wife is unable to do so.
