Evidence Of Child Neglect? Damaging Emails Prove Tamra Barney Pulled 7-Year-Old From School Without Notifying Them For A Root Canal
April 18 2014, Published 6:40 a.m. ET
In a bid to prove child neglect, Simon Barney included a handful of absentee forms from the children's school citing that his Real Housewives of Orange County ex-wife routinely forgot to call in when her kids would be absent.
Furthermore, in legal documents exclusively obtained by Breaking Celebrity News the former Bravo dad included an email exchange with the school their daughter, 7 at the time, attends asking him to verify Sophia's absence for the day and he explains her mother, Tamra Barney, took her to the dentist to get a root canal.
The emails and absentee notices are undoubtedly an effort on Simon's part to prove child neglect against Tamra, which he charges in the bombshell legal documents previously published on Breaking Celebrity News.
In an email marked March 28, 2012, the school's attendance clerk sent a message to Simon asking him to verify Sophia's absences on both March 26 and March 28, to which he replied:
"Sophia's mother just informed me she is sick today. And she took her to the dentist Monday for a root canal. I'm guessing she didn't call today or Monday to inform you she was absent. I'm sorry about this. Please mark her absent Monday and today."

In another email exchange from months later in Oct., Simon responds to the school's attendance clerk writing:
"It looks like Sophia was absent because she is sick. Her mother has her Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning every week. So she probably didn't call her in sick. Thanks for your email. Sorry there was no notice to you or the school."
Included with the two email exchanges are eight other absentee notices for Sophia in a small six month window, all while on Tamra's watch.
