That judge should be jailed. Mom would know better than anyone that her boys were not safe with their Dad, and they vehemently said they didn’t want to see him. What gives the judge the right to ignore that? Is he stating that the father had parental rights? Sorry to burst your bubble, judge, but that bastard gave up his “rights” the moment he laid hands on those sweet boys and their Mom. My God, they suffered for years, finally escape and you threw them into the lion’s den. How do you sleep?

[@teijaflink2226]

It makes me so angry and 9 and 12 year old children know what they want. I have heard other stories too where the child has begged to not have to see their parent that they are scared but the judges have not listened and forced the child to be with the abuser (saying the other parent is lying and manipulating) and the child have been murdered. Cruelty to force a child who doesn't want to see a parent. When will it change.

[@teijaflink2226]

And I'm sick or parental rights, what about the childs rights to safety and to not be mentally damaged for life or murdered.

[@pinkpugginz]

I'm sure the psychopath ex husbands lawyer claimed parental alienation which is a bogus syndrome made up by a creepy old man for men who are fighting ex wives. They claim women will lie about abuse in order to get custody on such a large scale that it skews custody disputes. Its all not true. The guy coming up with these crackpot theories should be in jail

[@cloroxbleach8661]

@@teijaflink2226This is why children are the most UNDERREPRESENTED portion of the population. No one to ever speak for them.

[@nothanks1239]

Some parents make their kids say things that aren't true. My step dad had this issue with his ex wife; who was a drunk and abusive. He tried to fight for full custody, but she taught the kids to say that they didn't love him. They're fully grown now and have absolutely nothing to do with their mother. They hate her. They also have kids of their own, and don't want them to know their grandmother. So, I can understand why this wouldn't work. If the judge had listened to the kids, my step dad would have never seen them, even though he was the most stable and loving parent in their lives. It's such a tricky situation. How do you know the kids aren't being forced to say things? But in the same instance, these boys would still be alive if they had been listened to.

[@juliemcgugan1244]

Right?! Between 2005 and 2015 charity Women’s Aid reported that “unsafe child contact arrangements had led to the killing of 19 children by their fathers.” Between 2004 and last year, the NSPCC has found that 63 children had been killed by their parents, after warning signs were ignored by authorities. This man beat his wife and children, he threatened his wife and children, he assaulted neighbours and had a criminal record for doing so. His wife even told authorities that “There was a case a year before where a man killed his children and shot himself. I remember him (Sykes) saying, “That Father’s got every right to do that.” Despite this and other testimony about the abuse, the judge ruled that the violent and erratic father of two should be permitted to see his sons for five hours of unsupervised contact every week. It didn’t take him even five hours to kill both boys and himself, after he lured them into the house’s attic with the promise of a train set, locked them in there, then set fire to the house in 16 different places using gasoline. Despite all of this, a ‘serious case review’ published a finding that “The deliberate and devastating actions of a newly divorced father who killed his two sons in a house fire could not have been predicted.” Biggest load of horse$h!t I’ve ever heard in my life!

Im sharing this, not to take away from this strong womans bravery and immense pain, that i could never imagine. But just to share for those who think that judges may have learnt from cases like this. My sons donor, I shall call him; was abusive to me and our disabled son I'm every manner. When I saw a mark on my son, that was the last straw. Despite all the evidence of financial, physical, s-ual abuse, emotional abuse towards me (and later evidence came out and was convicted of underage r towards 2 girls).. the man still has "parental rights" from inside a prison cell. For context: my son is severely disabled, he will need 24 hour life long care. And when I had to change his school from primary to secondary, the council still wanted "dads opinion" on what school to send him. I have also had full custody for the last 7+ years. YET that man still has rights, while on a 20+year stretch. Absolutely wild.

[@teijaflink2226]

Another story of where children are not listened to and then get murdered. If a child is scared and doesn't want to see a parent that should be it, makes me so mad. A 12 year old knows what they want, cruelty to force him to be with an abusive parent.

I fought my ex tooth and nail. Our daughter would cry and said her dad said he would keep her for good. He would play these emotional mind games. After 6 to 7 years of trying to work with ex on visitation, I shut it completely off. At one point the court ordered supervised visits for him. It cost him $50 each visit. That was the first and last visit he made because he didn't want to pay. I prayed and moved. He never found us. He stopped the child support and the healthcare. That was great. It gave me leverage. Leave us alone, I'll never ask for either as I said to myself. I've always worked and paid my own bills. Due to God's grace, I was able to have healthcare thru my job. Own a home. Was never on welfare. I would go after advancements to make more money. Never told my daughter anything bad about her dad. When she grew up she figured it out herself. As her dad has gotten older he's apologized to her. But she deals with him when she wants. She's 26 now.

There should also be a bill that puts any judge on trial (by jury) who makes a determination relevant to a criminal's behavior without any professional psychological opinions. The judge isn't a psychologist. In this case, because he didn't seek professional opinion, he should be held liable for the children's deaths. This is only one of many cases where a bone-headed judge is arbitrary in decision making about a criminal's behavior. What I can't understand is how someone guilty of abuse can be within 1000 yards of their victims. He should have had to undergo counseling, psychological evaluations, and time spent in therapy until he was deemed "safe," with the understanding that could mean "never." Judges aren't psychologists so they have no business making decisions regarding criminal behavior without professional evaluations.
