June 2, 2004 -- The ex-Playboy model who lost custody of her twin girls for coaching them to say their father was a molester bid a heart-wrenching — and very public — goodbye yesterday, handing off the 4-year-olds to a man they call "Daddy" but hardly know. Sobbing mom Bridget Marks hollered, "Evil!" at casino owner and former beau John Aylsworth as he and his wife, Karen, picked up the girls in front of Marks' East 72nd Street home.

As he piled them into his sedan, Marks yanked a car seat from the vehicle and held it up as evidence that Aylsworth couldn't care for her kids, Amber and Scarlet.

"They're putting in car seats that aren't even fastened!" she yelled through tears. "That's not the right way to do it!"

The send off of the children was done in a manner no caring mother would have subjected her children to. In front of dozens of photographers and screaming adults.

The mother accused the father of sexual abuse of the girls, the judge says she's a liar and should lose her kids.

Where is the Roger F Gay "the courts are tilted to mothers" army?

And the father and his wife are not so admirable:

The girls were born from a 1998 affair Marks had with Aylsworth, whose wife of 34 years knew about the liaison.

Aylsworth and his wife urged Marks to get an abortion, but she refused, then raised the kids as a single mom.

God help those little 4 year-olds.

If she did in fact coach the kids to say their father was a molestor she should be banned from having contact with them, and perhaps charged with perjury.

This kind of thing goes unpunished far too often...

Let's hear from the Toon and Janet Reno on the subject. Weren't they all fired up over father's rights a few years back? /sarcasm

You forgot to note that the girls were given to a father and his wife who both wanted them killed before birth.

Whether the mother is guilty or not of false allegations, the girls are attached to her and are being traumatized by being given to strangers.

Exactly. If Solomon was the judge she would have demanded the kids be sawed in half. I hope she gets fixed. Those poor children.

Somebody will have to explain to me how this is not punishing the children much more severely than the mother. What she did was wrong and excuses cannot and must not be made for it, but to yank the children away from the only parent they know and give them to a serial adulterer and his wife who not only didn't want the children, but wanted them dead is lunacy.

Kimba Wood. Clinton.

Agreed. The kids are punished for the screwups of their parents.

Just how do you plan to punish the adulterous, attempted murdering father who now has full control over the girls along with stepmommy dearest?

He seems to have repented. Fighting for custody would indicate so.

That's a big assumption. I wouldn't want to be near anyone who wanted me dead, whether I was a child or an adult.

I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for the perjuring, witness-tampering stripper, to tell the truth. God bless the children and may they find some peace away from a mother from hell.

I watched this poor, misunderstood, putupon, darling, angelic and aching mother of these twin in a couple of talk shows accompanied by her liar.

She was prepared to frame the father and have him put away for the maximum jail sentence that child molesters could possibly have. She disqualified herself from motherhood on the spot - her hate and vitriol, in my opinion, qualifies her to be sterilized and forbidden to raise anything more advanced than a toy poodle - and that's because I really dislike toy poodles.

Punishing the father? Not sure. But this slimy piece of arrogant humanity, using her children to advance her hate does not deserve a whit of good will in return.

At least the whore of a mother kept them alive. The whore of a father wanted them dead.

Do you catch the difference?

I'm unclear on your question; I can't punish either parent. The dad's scum, the mom's a psycho, and the kids will suffer no matter what is decided by the courts. There aren't any "good guys" here.

A good friend of mine was in a custody battle that turned nasty. His ex had made a tape of the kids (girls) talking about their dad touching them in inappropriate places.

The ex had a drinking problem which was her undoing because she could be heard clearly on the tape coaching the kids as to what to say. She must have forgotten to listen to it before presenting it at the hearing, at which she showed up drunk.

My buddy has full custody of the kids.

Yeah, but you never know the motivations of someone who is faced with the prospect of paying out a couple of million dollars in child support over 10 or 12 years.
