Gonna fight for custody of my nephew....
« on: October 17, 2009 - 11:10:04 PM »
...so we need a little prayer yall. He's five years old, and his dad decided it was necessary to punch in the forehead a few times as a means of "discipline". He was also smoking around the boy all day, so when the cops came from the neighbor calling them they took him and called my wife. I'm working in Arkansas right now so I can't really do much from up here, but I get home on Monday and I guess the legal mess will start. We are the only people in the family who has the means to take him, and we don't want him to go to foster care. His mom is a meth addict and used to abuse him before his dad took him, so we damn sure don't want her to get him. All he has been saying all night with my wife is "Dad hit me right here" and pointing at his forehead. It pisses me off just thinking about it. Its probably better I'm up here right now because I feel like beating the living f--- out of that man, if he can be called a man. What kind of man punches a 5 year in the head? Anyway, I'll end up writing a damn novel if I don't close this now. Please pray for us yall. That little boy needs love, not anger.

Extremely cool thing for you to do. I dont understand how people can treat their children that way. Its the truth that there are plenty of parents out there that do not deserve the honor.

Hope it all will work out for you and your wife to receive legal custody. Apparently the courts already denied his mother custody and now this with his father. Assuming a police report has been filed and his dad will be facing charges the court should not hesitate putting him with family members. The trick will be the visiting rights of parents, hardly will the courts deny that from the parents. Good luck.  :2thumbs:

All the best, and prayers, to you in this venture. If the courts don't side in your favor then there's definately something wrong with the system.

Glad to hear you are rising to the occasion. You are a man of true character. Not many people would take on that responsibility. I really hope the legal battle goes as smooth as possible. Usually the courts favor a family member, and value the treatment of the child in question.
I can't understand what makes an adult punch a kid.
Karma is a Beetch. She'll come back with twice the pain for that "father" if you could call him that.
Good luck!

You've done a good thing. Best of Luck.

That may be true but under the supervision of a social worker and even at a designated location for visits.
