Wanting To Hurt A Guy

[Bill Dickerson]

My ex has a foster child who's about two. I've been Dad because I help with her and she goes sometimes when I pick up my boys (20 & 24 Y/O). It's happened before with other foster kids but they have always gone to good situations. This time it's different.

They took the Mom's parental rights but Dad showed up (who just got of jail) and the judge says she can go to him. This guy has shown a long history of extremely poor judgement. Four DUI's driving as a Habitual Offender twice, Aggravated Assault, multiple instances of driving on S/C/R/ License hence the Habitual Offender.

He would still be in jail on a two year sentence if he hadn't been released because of overcrowding. He only did two months. This child doesn't even know him and the Mother cannot be around the kid. Supposedly he is renting a place and some male stranger will be keeping her during the day.

I'm resisting setting up and getting photos of him driving. I'd much rather run over him a couple of times. My anxiety level has increased and I just can't see this poor kid being put into this situation. Going to a scrot who may end up getting her killed.

Hopefully they will go ahead and appeal the case. Seems the right thing to do but it's the gov so it's a toss up. I've been praying a lot but I usually end up praying this guy will screw up or maybe a piano will fall on his head.

Somebody pulls a knife on me and I can deal with that without blinking but this really has me twisted up.

I can see your point for sure! Geez, sometimes the gov can be SO ignorant of reality! Obviously, you are a sensitive man, which why you are so torn up about it!

Isn't there some state agency that you can call and voice your concerns?

Praying is the biggest and best thing you can do for her!

The kid is already in DCS custody. The Guardian ad Litem plans on taking it to a higher court but she said that it would be useless without DCS also petitioning. I'm not sure which way DCS is going to decide. They are suppose to be checking the home and environment of the Dad. He gave an address but he said he hadn't moved in yet. I think the Mom talked Dad into getting custody but she won't be able to live there. Dad had never showed up before and there have been multiple meetings and court appearances he was suppose to attend or send representation.

Mom's already been prison for accidentally killing one of her kids and she has lost two others to the state. When the police found the little girl the mother had been locking her in her motel room and disappearing for G-d knows how long.

I hate situations like this and it breaks my heart into pieces. It touches me and quite frankly I would probably document the story what a photograph and call the local TV station with the story. It's the age media. I'm extremely reactive, I'll own that, and these are the tools at hand.

The government moves just slow enough to allow every child to fall through the cracks but with the light shining bright and people watching, it has to do something. This may be fueling the fire but since you posted this, this is what I would do. Our local channel has a hotline to call. It's better than violence and at least it's something.

peace,

The Juvenile system is a closed system. There is no way for the Media to really get any of the information. It's he said she said. No one can be interviewed because no one is allowed to talk about it.

Makes violence sound all the more reasonable. I wish they would repel the dueling laws. People were a lot more polite and stupid stuff didn't happen.

 

[Bill Dickerson]

I finally did get a call from the DCS worker and DCS will also appeal so we should get a new court date next week. I am hoping for an extended court process. It will give the sperm donor a little longer to foul up on his own and the longer it takes will also cause him to lose interest. I can use all the prayers I can get that this works out.

 

[Bill Dickerson]

I understand DCS is appealing also so it now goes to circuit court in October. I am praying this judge has his head screwed on straight.

 

[Srain]

Document, photograph, call the police...it will all go into record. Other than that, as I am finding with the hatred and vileness from neighbor less than 20 feet from home cameras are my only weapon. Sooner or later they slip up, they ALWAYS DO.

 

[Bill Dickerson]

That's not the issue. I would document the stuff if I could but I no longer deal with stupid very well. If I put him in the hospital that would just complicate things. To document I would have to be semi-close, not a good idea.

Right it's a court issue. Hopefully the judge will see the real problem here. Keep the prayers up.
