You are deliberately twisting my comments to fit your own jaded mindset.

The young man in my family is devastated by the loss of contact with his child. He and his daughter are victims of a controlling young woman - who appears to believe that she (because she gave birth) should be the custodial parent.

Traditional religious-based, social norms of virginity before marriage and fidelity afterwards were demonstrably superior to what passes as socially acceptable behavior today.

I'm not twisting anything. Your words speak volumes on their own.

Well he's obviously, to use your words, just a naive man who impregnated her without considering the possibility that she might run off with his child.

The concept sure does. Pure Norman Rockwell.

Real life, however, isn't a portrait. It's messy, dirty and has never been the idealized world you're trying to make it seem with your quaint depiction.
