  1. This same family attempted to bring a false order of protection against me accusing me of extremely horrible things all of which are not true and I am willing to take a lie detector any time anyone wishes to pay for one to prove it. The father’s family has also made similar and unfounded allegations to another member of their family in an attempt to take her child.

  2. I happen to know the father’s family and the biological father walks around in front of his children with this stuff hanging outside his pants. The granddaughter of the family enjoys having the stick part of plungers up her bottom, yup its on facebook,and the grandmother not the father wants the children because she wants a do over as her children dropped out of school and became drug addicts and dealers. And the same grandmother is addicted to pain pills.

  3. Family plans to fight this injustice with every fiber of their being. As a professional child psychologist you should know better than to accuse without having all the information. We can’t help that the police have tunnel vision and are uneducated

  4. It’s unfortunate that the police wish to harass a completely innocent person. This child is involved in a serious divorce case in which the father’s family is falsely accusing. The child in question was checked before the child returned to the father’s family (witness provided police with this information) and child had no burns, bruises or other indicators of abuse. Witness was requested by this family as fathers family had already made other false accusations.

  5. The real victims are the man whose picture is above and division of family services who has to spend hours to investigate and the tax pay payers who pay for the hours of investigations

  6. DAMN him. There IS no excuse. This information is highly charged for me, as I worked in Child Psychiatry for many years and abuse was a common denominator. NO REPRIEVE–LONGEST LEGAL SENTENCE in gen. pop. @ Fulton. This is deplorable. I take issue with the fact he abused a child in ANY way. He needs to be a prison wife while incarcerated, as THAT is the real justice for abusing lesser dominating ones– which he did.
