Kidnapping and Abuse Allegations

The plaintiff says she has a child with the defendant, and she claims he and his new wife kidnapped her daughter and then told Child Protective Services that she duct-taped her child and fed her alcohol. She’s suing for defamation. The defendants say the plaintiff’s mother is raising the child, and they claim the child doesn’t feel safe in the plaintiff’s home. They deny kidnapping the child and they’re countersuing for defamation and emotional distress.

Man, what a mess! I feel sorry for the child.

[@toyalasha5421]

I know right I’m so sad grown folk can’t get along

[@MzTyraB]

So the mama knew the father was going to call CPS on her; so in a desperate attempt to avoid consequences she calls the police & says that this man kidnapped his child…..🤦🏾‍♀️ pathetic & disgusting

[@juliethomas-begay1742]

None of them can give a straight answer to anything asked.. Geez

[@rashardstallworth9240]

Not true

[@Radiance230]

Yes they clearly used this child and legal system as a means of warring with each other. They for that child and had no intentions of returning until AFTER the wedding. That was the plan all along. That’s why they were inconsistent with the dates and specifics of the timeline. Yes the mother probably was jealous of the wedding. But you can’t go days without communication while having possession of the child. So she rightfully went to the police for assistance. They noticed the burn, but didn’t file until weeks later. And yet, they still haven’t filed for full custody. Yeah. The wife laughing at the end is all I needed to know.

[@KPbouj]

The boyfriend probably burned the baby like he burned the mom per that police report.

[@yasheialawrence1184]

😂😂😂What show did you watch?? The mother just said the child went over to dads with the burn mark. The grandma said they were boiling eggs. So how did he burn her?

"Boiling eggs" 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄. I swear I watch parts of this episode a few times a week.

[@tonyagingerich9769]

saying many prayers for this babygirl, the step mom is amazing 🙏🙏

[@lynlyn222]

the boyfriend scared her daughter .... just to show the daughter he can get away with anything.. next would be molestation... the child would not have said anything because mom saw him scare me and didnt do anything she just doesnt care

[@kandi668]

I’m sorry, but JM rules on his own emotions, not always the facts. Judge Judy would have got all the facts and that’s it. 1. If the daughter was scared to go home, why didn’t they call the police? 2. Why he don’t want custody of his daughter if he feels like she is being abused? 3. What are the dates on those charges the wife brought up? 4. The 4th to the 15th is 11 whole days to not make one single phone call to an attorney or the police yourself to file charges or a report of abuse. All these folks playing games. Cause why this woman get all her kids back? If she is not fit, then sue for custody of your child.

[@PanamaJones7]

Yeah I agree. 11 days is far too long not to communicate when she was coming home. They literally neverrrr proved they told her they were keeping her for 11days

[@silethaking279]

The defendants didn’t need to call the police because the mother had already called them and the abuse was being investigated, hence DHR report. The defendants let the plaintiff hang herself.

[@kandi668]

@@silethaking279 Yeah the plaintiff called 11 days later. If my child is being physically abused, I’m calling that day. I’m not waiting.

[@paradisewilliams1133]

Cause they trust the grandma…

[@kandi668]

@@paradisewilliams1133 He need to trust himself to raise his own child.

[@Grace_0114]

This is so SAD as a Mother you need to know what your children are going thru and also allowing your partner abuse them is another level of ignorance and stupidity. I feel for this little girl, Hope the Father fight for full custody. I feel the grandmother has too much in her plate to watch over all her grandchildren, and the mother is in another freaking planet..

[@maryandmoody]

This woman step up for her husband and his child, 'Bravo'!
