People do change over time. It's not popular to acknowledge that, but it's a fact.

If the judge felt that the father was the best available option at this time, I'm not going to second-guess that decision, especially considering the hysterical intensity of the opposition he knew he'd be likely to face.

Would you be ok w/your daughter being handed over to someone who had molested her or her sister?

Maybe not, although i could imagine cases in which I would, but either way that's why impartial judges are called upon to make decisions like that.

Sex Offender is a broad title, it can cover the 17 year old boy caught having sex with the 16 year old girl even though it was consentual. The better question is why is this man being referred to as a sex offender and not a pedophile.

Partly because "pedophile" is a clinical term and journalists are not qualified to make psychiatric diagnoses.

Opinion journalists and (competent) news journalists are different elements.

Huh. You people live in a nice little world, apparently.

Those of us who've had to deal with abusers and molesters know that this kind of thing happens all the time. There's nothing unusual about it.

On some other threads in the past about so-called "men's rights groups," I've explained how those groups have successfully infiltrated the judicial system in order to achieve exactly these kinds of results in custody battles. I cited news article after news article about individual cases.

I was either shouted down or ignored.

Really people, wake the hell up.

Another Protective Mother in Jail!

Catch 22: CPS tells Protective Mom Maria that she will be charged with child endangerment if she sends her son to his abuser father's house, but Family Court Judge Kevin Cronin puts Maria in contempt of court for not sending him. She will serve 3 days a week in jail until November.

Maria is disabled and in a wheelchair because this same abuser broke her back. She lost her oldest son to suicide after he was forced to live with the abuser.
