stlnative says the law down there makes Stern the PRESUMPTIVE father because his name is on the birth certificate.

But goes on to say that if Larry Burkett files a paternity case in the Bahamas, then the truth must be determined in court. Until then, I assume they don't think they have a cause for a guardian ad litem. Which I think a judge would have to order.

Maybe you're asking why the authorities there don't go to a judge and ask for it on behalf of the government? I don't know if or how that would work if legally he is the father until it is disputed in court by Burkett.

I'm not saying they CAN'T. I'll ask stlnative what she thinks about it.

I think it will be just a matter of time before the courts take the baby into their custody. I know that there was a black woman on TV that goes into the house daily to check on the baby. I think the lady was a government official and she may have worked for DFC in the Bahamas.

I truly believe that the courts will force the DNA testing and that it will be done ASAP after Birkhead files his request in the Bahama's. I think this whole situation a black eye on the Bahama's and they will move quickly to clean their hands of all this. I don't think this will turn into another Aruba incident. The Bahama's is part of the UK and not the Netherlands. (there is a huge difference in the UK and the Netherlands)
