The second case is so touching. It brought me into tears.I felt for the young man. I am glad he found his dad.

[@terry_kathryn]

I’m sitting here dripping 😢 God is good Amen 🙌

[@ritajit4730]

The dad does not seem as passionate & that is sad- His son may be a 24 year old man, but all I see is that hurt child, just wanting his dad to claim & LOVE him

[@quichequiche4274]

He's sleeping with her and her cousin, but SHE'S getting around. 🙄

[@dinahsaur7999]

Right like make it make sense!! And he got other baby mamas SMH. The double standards are ridiculous 😭

[@SimonBridgeman]

Men like baby daddy are not on a equal playing field with women where this subject is concerned, the fact he is married and the baby mama isn't, is enough to prove my point. How many women who regularly get their cheeks clapped by multiple men with reputations known to their communities get married? Nasty men don't marry those type of women they hit and run. Women like this sister should know her worth and not allow any and every brother in there.

Oh my Lord the second case. I have NEVER cried so much during an episode. What an exceptional young man. I am so glad he got his answer and his father.

The seconds case touched me . I am crying like crazy. I lost my mother too . My father to care of me financially up to high school but we did not really have a relationship bit by thr grace of God today I am 27 years old christian with 2 beautiful kids working since I was 16 and woth a degree . Thank you Jesus

[@pamelabrown5512]

This is my 2nd time watching this episode, and I saw a clip on Tik Tic. It brought me to tears all three times, this young man is a prime example of what a kids go through without mothers and fathers in their lives.

[@RoyalEngineersVeteran]

The last case, what an incredible job the grandparents made with this young man he’s such an inspiration to all young people, I’m so happy he now has his father in his life Congratulations to you all

[@ronshieldsjr]

I would have been proud to be that young man's father.

[@karmagal78]

I’ve heard so many of the people on these where someone has passed that they weren’t “invited” to the funeral. It’s not like a wedding or a birthday. You attend a funeral, invites don’t go out. The grieving do not have time for that. Obituaries usually give that information or how to find out when the funeral is. Proud of Mr Gower for keeping his cool and being so respectful. He’s a testament to his grandparents raising him well.

[@yvonneoliver1158]

1st case. All these family members talking and telling him this and telling him that, but not one told him that he is a pervert messing with a child. 😡😡

What a wonderful young man with excellent grandparents. I pray that his been able to create the bond he wants and needs with his father. The young man in the first case is great as well for stepping up for that little boy

[@dollratmae]

the second man breaks my heart. i wish absolutely nothing but the best for him he seems like a strong and level headed young man

[@judithmatthews8460]

First case These men who condemn women but behave just like them. Posturing about being a father but haven’t bothered in 3 years!! No way I wouldn’t want to find out if the mother is as bad a person as you say. Second case what a credit to himself and his grandparents. The father bleating about how difficult it was for him but what about the grandparents who lost a child and faced bringing up a baby at their age. They stepped up they didn’t bleat how difficult it was. But they are ageing and want someone else to step up. I hope the father owns his shame and steps up. Pictures that little boy who walked across a stage without a parent and feels how wrong that was.

[@CjTheRT]

Never cried from a paternity case before but I did after watching the second episode. Glad he got the truth and so glad he made it through all that darkness and pain. He speaks so well and from the heart.

[@doriscooper]

[@moongakalima6280]

I was so touched by the second case. You need yo look at the way he expressed his emotions about what he had to deal with and for him to say, "I need you paps.." and to forgive him....That is not easy at all. It shows that he dealt with the forgiveness issue before he ever stepped in that Court room. He brought me to tears. Just couldn't hold them back. 🥺

[@tkmorrison6404]

Judge Lake, I can see the tears in your eyes. 💕

[@aussie1630]

1, they need mandatory dna at birth (someone needs to petition this to the government) 2. If you dont want anything to do with a child, then sign papers to give up parental rights. (When it comes to disagreements on keeping vs aborting ) both potential parents have a right to decide. Yes it’s a shame, one parent doesn’t want a child, but its the world, we are humans. People will judge but at the end of the day, no one can decide for another.

[@kay22100]

2nd case: They have the same nose!! He just looks like his mom too. I love how they came together at the end

[@renae740]

The second case broke me, my heart was actually breaking for the son. I hope to this day that they are together living life as a father and son.

[@shanetta7503]

First case: I notice the judge never asks how they met when the woman was a child when they were messing around. She had a baby at 16 with a man that was 24. They probably sign a agreement that this won’t be used in a court of law

[@tamishaboiette378]

The young man in the second case, he walked through his difficult journey to become a better person to himself and to others just like when gold is passed through hot fire. On the other hand, his father is no where near a good person, somehow I feel he don't need him especially now, they are from different universes.

In the second case. I don't think the son will ever forgive his father for not being there. It will always be in the back of his mind. He was truly blessed to have wonderful grandparents. The grandfather was his father. He was so right saying how can some men just abandon their children? Think goodness there are still good fathers out there, young and old, even good men who step up and raise other mens children.

[@isafamilla1285]

La 1ere affaire, cet homme ne sait que salir les femmes, c'est un détournement de mineur, elle avait 15ans quand elle est tombée enceinte du 1er, et elle le dit,elle était très attachée à lui.pour la deuxième affaires, c'est poignant❤,les grands parents sont des très bonnes personnes, quel fierté d avoir su guider ce beau jeune homme ❤

Second case: that young man is a very blessed and wonderful man, to be raised by Godley grandparents. The dad said himself that he had a life of figuring life out in his younger years, if he had that child back then, he might not have given him the good Christian home that his grandparents did. I was in tears right along with judge Lake over this one. 😭

In the 1st case. Yes! It takes a village to raise a child... His step dad seems to be an amazing person. He has even asked for his father to step in and start been his father? You don't every day meet a Man who cares and not only for you but for your child? Who takes the time to do nice things for him This Man has a kind heart and a beautiful soul ❤️ I wish them all the very best.. I hope they can all come into an agreement and be civil with one another. This lady his wife needs to accept not only her husband had an affair but with a Minor Child? And quit blaming her the only one that she should blame is her Married Man/Husband.

[@crazycatlady4551]

While I'm sorry for the son's genuine heartaches, he was probably better off not having that man step up to raise him after his mother died. The grandparents did a marvelous job as parents. The father would not have done such a good job. He probably wouldn't have been a good influence even if the boy stayed in the grandparents' care & he just had visitation.

So is the father-figure(her current bf) in this first case a good daddy to her son, or is he not?
