I can see that...but that's just crazy! Like something out of a bad cop show.

OMG sweetie! I'm so sorry this happened to you, and to your little guys - not to mention Justin, who's used as a weapon by his "mother" I really hope your brother gets custody.
I hope you can all get through this. If you need to talk just holler on Yahoo.

honey this is the states. i bet officers have to assume until proven otherwise for their own safety. still messed up though.

That is really true. Certain call in's trigger extra strong responses.

"Assault"

"Abduction of a child"

The police are motivated to secure the situation first and ask questions second.

Blessedly it wasn't "Shoot first and ask questions later."

Hokie and her brother did the very smartest things possible in that situation. Cooperated and kept their cool.

What a bitch. I hate whores who use kids as weapons

Works so differently there, eh?

Hard for a lot of us to understand.

A little update.

Went to the attorney today and she is getting the tape of the 911 call my brother's wife made. They are also getting in touch with the officer that responded to her house yesterday. The attorney says these false accusations could hurt her custody chances.

My nephew has been crying a lot and had to be picked up early today from school because he was inconsolable. He was crying for his daddy. Apparently his teacher has had major concerns about the mother for a while now. She may be subpoenaed to testify in the custody case.

My brother is keeping Justin through the weekend and things are calm for the moment. I'll keep ya'll updated.

Thanks for all your support and well wishes and for those that sent orgnotes.

On the legal side of things, that is good news indeed.

However, I do feel really sorry for Justin and I hope things work out in his favor.

Your family is in my prayers.

It's not right for parents to use their child(ren) during difficult times as weapons against each other. It's too much on a childs plate to be caught in the middle when they love both parents.

This happens more often than not. Gays could never destroy society the way straight people do.

hokie said:

Good legal news but poor Justin.

Tell him loads of nice people on the internet gave him hugs!

Good lord! I'm glad those cops calmed down...it could have gone either way. Hopefully the mom overplayed her hand this time and her manipulations will be exposed.

Good luck and best wishes...hope the kids won't have to see anymore of this.

That is horrible.

It's sad to say, but you're going ot have to find a way to document every conversation and every interaction. I know someone who's goign through a bad custody battle with her baby's daddy...and it can get REAL ugly.
She even submitted photographs and videotape of her reasons for suspecting neglect but the judge ruled it "inadmissible" because there's certain rules that need to be followed when taking pictures and video.

So get some solid advice and document EVERYTHING.

I'm so sorry hon.

I understand this is the States..for I live there...but it just seemed a bit extreme to me.

Thank God the mother seems crazy and stupid enough to expose herself as such. Hopefully that'll make it easier for your brother.
