Did you hear that idiot woman on TV today saying that there is a difference between the way Stern treated Anna (feeding her drugs) and the way he treats HIS child. This is the argument for him being a fit parent. GMAFB.

Maybe I can try to explain where she’s coming from:
(at least in California), the Court’s view is, what happened between the two parents is immaterial; that is, their inability to get along, or how badly they treated each other, or how many knock-down,drag-out fights they had, or how many times they cheated on each other, has no bearing on custody, unless there are prior criminal proceedings or ‘officer of the court’ (CPS) documentation that the Court can consider when determining custody (and so far, we have no criminal proceedings going on, and we have no CPS documentation and we have no DNA results).
The Court’s view is that it’s a violation of the***civil rights*** of the child, to be denied access to their legal(presumed) parent. Until abuse is proved to the Court (not rumor, not emotion, not hunches or suspicion), the Court itself, would be violating the Civil Rights of the child by arbitrarily removing the child without Due Process.
so the lady was technically correct, it doesn’t matter (right now) how Stern treated Anna.
The Courts simply cannot act without proof and without Due Process which, in most ‘real world’ cases, is a Good Thing!
