Dad's have rights too!!!
Too many dads's end up with little to no parenting time because of divorce.
Why is this important?
I met my husband two years ago in an FB singles group. I had no intention of ever dating again as I had been through a terrible divorce. We talked and became friends and then decided to meet. He told me he had a 6-year-old daughter and then dropped a bombshell. He couldn't see her regularly because his ex-wife accused him of molesting her. I was stunned and of course thought there's no way I can continue even a friendship with this man. Then, I thought, first of all, a pedophile doesn't announce he's a pedophile. I decided I wanted to meet his daughter and see them interact. One time seeing this little girl do everything she could to get away from her mom and run to her dad and jump in his arms was all I needed to see.
Shortly after, there was a court date for him to try and get more time and I decided to put his paperwork together. I was appalled at the things I read. His daughter had NEVER been taken to a doctor, DCFS didn't do an investigation - they turned it over to law enforcement - and he was interrogated until they found out that the day he supposedly "molested" his daughter he was with numerous people, none that were spoken to about the incident. He sold everything he had to fight for this little girl and to this day he still does. He agreed to go to counseling, his daughter and ex also agreed so that they could work towards a 50/50 schedule. He committed his end; his daughter hasn't been to counseling for 6 months and I doubt his ex has gone once.
A person doesn't become a pedophile once and then stop. I have three older children, all who love my husband, all who are comfortable with him and support him. We now have a granddaughter with whom he is amazing. For two years I've watched this woman do everything she can to keep this little girl from her dad. I watched her work the system, and I've watched the system enable her. This little girl loves her dad and should be allowed to be with him, he should not have to live with the stigma of being a predator, of having to sell everything he owns in order to see her. He shouldn't have letters written to his employer telling them he's a pedophile when the case against him has been closed for over 3 years now.
Today is the 4th of July; if the court petition had been followed we would have been able to have his daughter on the 3rd at 6 pm until the 5th at 7 pm; instead, we get her from 12-6 and are unable to do anything because that's how her mom dictates it. This is wrong and it needs to be stopped. She should be charged and any woman who does these kinds of things should be charged.
