 Also present was plaintiffs’ infant child, who is not a party to this action. The court

recognizes the difficulties which can be encountered in securing child care but strongly

encourages that at future hearings in this matter, plaintiffs seek the help of friends or relatives to

take care of the child during the proceedings, even if only to have the child attended to briefly

outside the courtroom in the corridor.
