 A petition filed by the mother of Jacob Kinn was dismissed earlier today by a judge. Jacob Kinn is accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a five-year-old girl. Five days ago, Kinn's mother originally filed the petition asking to be appointed as Jacob Kinn's guardian. Judge John Melby dismissed the petition only five days after Kinn's mother herself filed a notice dismissing it. Kinn's mother originally filed the petition asking to be her 33-year-old son's guardian back on October 27th due to recent changes in his behavior including weight loss, weight loss, and the inability to speak or perform other functions. Recently, a judge in an omnibus hearing regarding the kidnapping and sexual assault charge ordered Kinn's competency be evaluated.
