“Considering that the 17 year old daughter, didn’t want to go live with the mother, why the mother didn’t just leave them alone.”
Unbelievable! You would wash your hands of your kids if they were kidnapped and brainwashed? Really? Have you ever heard of Stockholm syndrome? And the 17 year old daughter gets to decide for her brother?
One guarantee is that he father didn’t ever tell the kids the truth about why they didn’t have a mother. Either he lied and said she abandoned them, or he said she died, or he said horrible things about her making them think she was a monster. The father is a manipulative SOB. He knows better than the courts, and the law doesn’t apply to him.
I hope his prison sentence for kidnapping lasts at least as long as the sentence the kids mother served. For 15 years she was in an emotional prison of his making. Not knowing if the kids were safe, cared for, fed. Not getting to see them, talk to them, hug them. And now they hate her, by no fault of hers.
Your post is over-reaching, over-emotional, and merely conjecture. And these kids will only continue to suffer for attitudes like that.
You’re entitled to you opinion, but it doesnt change that fact.
