A FATHER trying to get unsupervised access to his children accused his ex-wife of being a witch and told a court she used sorcery to make their kids sick.
But a Brisbane Family Court judge did not believe the African-born father’s claims about his wife and ordered he only have supervised contact with his three sons for two hours a month.
The judge, who believes the French-speaking father will continue to denigrate the mother, also ordered him to speak only English to his boys.
The father, a preacher, and his wife came to Australia from Africa with their three children as refugees four years ago.
The mother told the Family Court her husband had been violent towards her on nearly a daily basis, even in front of their sons, and they separated soon after arriving here.
She claimed he sexually assaulted her on a weekly basis throughout their marriage, sometimes in front of the children, whom he also beat.
The father denied all allegations of violence and physical and sexual abuse, but Justice Colin Forrest said he did not believe him.
The father said in a court affidavit the mother was involved in witchcraft and devil worship.
“The father actually maintained that the mother, through the use of her witchcraft or sorcery, has deliberately made the children sick,’’ Justice Forrest said in a November 11 judgment.
“He said that it is the mother who has caused one of the boys to be shortsighted.’’
Justice Forrest ordered the mother to have sole parental responsibility for the boys, and restrained the father from going within 200m of the mother’s home, work or place of worship or the boys’ school.
I believe the woman thinks she’s a witch.
Does she weigh the same as a duck?
darn autocorrect!
It’s a fair cop
Mine too. Small world.
What else floats?
A very small rock.
Great movie.
I’ve known some Nigerians. Some may have a high intellect but remain extremely superstitious.
“Are you a good witch or a bad witch?”
Oh, I thought this was going to be something about Hillary.
She turned me into a newt.
"I got better."
Ben Carson has a pet salamander named Newt.
Between him and Mike Pence owning a pet snake, I’m not sick of winning, yet.
