My daughter has a child that is 5 months old out of wedlock. Paternity hasn't been established, but from what I was told, the father, John could take the child and leave state, file for custody, and that isn't kidnapping because she doesn't really have legal custody or guardianship of the child?
The situation with this guy and his family has become explosive, violent..
I'm not one to condone a Mother keeping her child/ren from the Father, but in this situation, I think it's actually better for the child to stay away from this guy and his family.
Monday, my daughter had a hard time getting the baby back from his family. Two of his sisters jumped her, one pulled out a knife and threatened to slice my daughter. About 3 hours before they jumped her, John had shoved my daughter into a hot grill that was being used to cook meat. Luckily she wasn't burned.
And one may wonder why we didn't call the police. We live in Detroit.
Monday night, the father of the baby hid his car, waited for my daughter's boyfriend to come over here, and ended up shooting at her boyfriend. John shot at his feet, no one was shot, thank God.
We called the police, they arrested my daughter's boyfriend instead. They didn't do any investigation, no ballistics test to prove who fired the gun.
John isn't charged with anything. By the time the cops got here, her boyfriend had already taken the gun from John, and already beat him up pretty bad. John looked fine the next morning... bragging and getting backslapped by his friends across the street.
His family called child protective services on my daughter. While the workers were here on Wednesday, they wanted birth dates, and asked for John's birth date... we didn't know it. But I said that I can look on otis and get it. He is currently on parole for a felony, and a list of older felony cases.. breaking into houses/buildings, fleeing from police.. released without improvement. Last October he drove through a wall of a liquor store, and got parole.
His family knows how to finagle the system. Plus I heard bits of a conversation that happened across the street about stripping a Mother of her rights (the woman has a voice that carries all the way to my porch)... so he's getting a lot of help and information on how to play this.
Knowing this family as well as I do, I wouldn't even give them visitation rights, let alone any sort of custody. But, a judge has no idea.
And knowing this family as well as I do, I think my daughter is in danger of actually losing the baby. This family is something else.
His sister pulled a knife on my daughter Monday-- about 2 months ago she stabbed her baby's Father twice. He was in the hospital for quite some time because his injuries were actually serious, he was critical. He didn't press charges. She sliced one of her sisters.. no charges. She stabbed her own Father, no charges. John stabbed their Father.. no charges. Last year their Father was killed by his own brother (John's uncle). The whole family is like this. I didn't want my daughter around them when they were kids growing up, she was stupid to have gotten herself into this situation.. sleeping with him.
His sisters have been on the block all week. I was warned that what they're going to do is talk crap to my daughter when they get the opportunity, set her off, and record her response (going off on them)... as proof she's an unfit Mother.
I don't know what my daughter can do in this situation. Packing up and moving as far away from these people as we possibly can is ideal. But from my understanding, Chris can't go anywhere with the baby while there's an active child protective service case... and that stays open for at least 30 days?
