Los Angeles (CNN) -- A California judge ruled Friday that a woman who suffered severe brain damage during the birth of her triplets must be granted visitation rights to see them.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Frederick C. Shaller rejected the contention of Abbie Dorn's former husband that it is not in his children's best interest to see their "unfit" mother now.

Good for her! The judge made the right decision. The father, on the other hand is quite a scumbag.

100% agreement. He's a vile, contemptuous piece of filth. He not only tried to keep the children from knowing their own mother, but he abandoned the promise he swore before G-d, to be by her side in both health and sickness. He foist off his responsibilities on that poor woman's parents. It's only a shame the judge couldn't strip him of any custody or visitation whatsoever. He's contemptible.

I can't believe anyone debated NOT letting her have visitation rights. Really? Just because she's disabled? Unless she was a direct threat to her children, i.e. if her brain damage caused her to be abusive, then I see no reason why it would even be an issue worth considering. I hope the final verdict also grants her visitation rights. Disabled parents have just as much a right to be in their children's lives and love them as able-bodied parents.

Really, what a jerk. She didn't ask for much, not for a visit every weekend or anything like that.
(Reminds me of a former neighbor, whose wife had terminal cancer. He brought his new girlfriend home regularly while his wife was lying in her deathbed in the same house.)

Remember folks: the Father / ex-husband does have physical custody of the children (I would have let the Grandparents raise them )

the children should of visited their mother at least once a month since the time of their birth. the father denying both the children and the mom this time is just about criminal.
any discomfort this father imagines his children enduring is laid at his feet alone. what a creep
