I just do not understand people today. I got a neighbor who's granddaughter is being caught between a battle of her parents, and after what happened the other night, I really hope the child's father never ever gets to see her again unsupervised. She had went to her dad's house for father's day, and the tell she told her mom when she got home caused the mom to call the police. Apparently because the child who is only 8 did not answer the questions her dad and step mom asked her they made her put her back against the wall with her knees bent like she was sitting on a chair, but with no chair, and they had her hold cans in each hand with her arms straight out at shoulder height. She is a child. That is no way to punish an 8 year old ! When the police got here the little girl told the officer about many other things her dad and step mom had done to her on visits to their house, and children's services will be called in now. What is wrong with people? Parents are supposed to protect their children not torture them, just because they do not answer a question.
When the mother had texted the dad about this , before she called the police the father told her that what goes on in his house is none of her business. REALLLLLLLLY they are torturing an 8 year old, and calling it punishment and the mother should not do something about it? Well he picked the wrong child to hurt. This mother is like a momma lion defending her cubs if anyone tries to hurt her child. If the courts do the right thing, the father's will lose all visitation rights, and have to go to counceling as he has other children that live with him. and if he is doing this to his daughter he sees once a week what may he be doing to the children that live with him?
