Constraining Challenge

Hi everyone,
I've faced a problem in Maya Dynamics and Constraints.
In my scene there is a grouped model with several children (as 3 groups ) which has attached along a dynamically waving motion path ( softbody; and Turbulence field is added); I've done that by attaching a locator on the path and then parent constraining the grouped model to that. At frame 100 one of its children ( called bCat) starts to move along the path till in frame 400 it should be attracted to another model in other place in order to be specifically positioned on the 2nd model. For doing this I've bone parent constraint on the bCat between another tow locators and then setting keyframe on W0 an W1 of that parent const. node, unfortunately doing the latter one caused bCat to refuse the 1st motion of the grouped model from the beginning of the animation.
What should I do? Please answer me in no time!
Thank you
