Courts are messed up as is our society. Even, apparently, conservatives.
He has no more rights than a dog and being told, in however manner, was a courtesy.
“A rare victory for common sense.”
Why does he have any right.
He is not married to her.
He is not even with her.
He is nothing.
If someone posted a message on face book meant for me, I wouldn’t get it either. I don’t even read text messages. If someone wants to tell me something, they can use the same phone they are texting with to call me.
I hope and pray he didn’t take the baby away from its true adoptive parents.
Men should keep their sperm to themselves, unless they’ve got plans for the child they might create.
He should still be made aware that he has some bastard children around. Maybe he would do the right thing and would put up child support, at least.
He is the child’s true father, and was robbed of that opportunity by an irresponsible mother.
“He has no more rights than a dog and being told, in however manner, was a courtesy.”
Wow, you’re a cold-hearted fish aren’t you! Glad the court stood up for his rights. When you strip the situation, they were both “dogs in heat,” so just how does the woman have “greater rights” that her sperm donor? After all, the child is part of both of them irrespective of their marital situation.
He is the father of child, and was denied the opportunity to be so by the mother’s irresponsibility.
Agreed. Would you ever say “a police man found a child walking alone and then took it home”?
This is a look into the mindset of this journalist..
Right on Yaelle. At least she didn’t have an abortion. Praise the Lord!!
Seriously?????
When he found out he was a father he fought for that child. He has every right to his child when the mother gave it away.
I’ll go further and point out that God meant men and women to marry and then have families. These cases would give Solomon a headache.
Sorry, I usually agree with you but in this case I agree with the dissenting judges. He was informed.
And what is he planing on doing now?
Take the child and raise her?
She is two and has been in a settled home since birth.
I would be against taking the child away from her parents at this point.
I think it is a very sad yet serious situation for the little boy. People should be more responsible in these relationships and this is one reason being why. It’s a blessing the woman carried the baby. I don’t know what to say, hopefully they will allow the child to stay with the adoptive mom and dad because it would be very hard on the child now. I really feel for the father in some points though, I hope all adults put the child’s happiness and well being first. I have to say, this dad is not fully excused here himself for being in a relationship casually so, I don’t know if I am at a point to just say he has a blanket right to get the little boy in his custody. It’s clear the father and mother didn’t have a good trust in one another from the start.
Facebook has never yet been a means of legal notice, because there isn’t any permanent record, and odds are he was blocking the harridan. Getting a reply back from him on Facebook would be the only way to demonstrate constructive notice actually happened. No reply, no proof.
Damages can still be assessed even if the child is left in its current situation (and no caviling about its, please).
If law is to underline moral duty and not just to be Calvinball to be played at people’s pleasure, then it should be respected.
Laz. I’m pregnant.
Diana, you win all internetz ever.
