Pray for these children to be defended against their mother and her embraced perversion.
I find it difficult to conceieve how a woman involved in a DESTRUCTIVE lifestyle is granted any kind of residential custody. Where was the father's expert witness? Where was the testimony as to the damage that being raised by homosexual parents puts on children? I have used a psychological expert for custody cases, so this is not some hypothetical question.
The three girls are Canadian citizens. I presume the 1983 Hague Convention is intended to prevent children from being kidnapped from their home countries, not to prevent them from being taken from a foreign country back to their homes.
If the mother thinks she should have custody, she should return to Canada and argue the matter there, IMHO.
Regretably Canada is determined to do everything upside down: to favor LGBTs before normal people, and to favor other countries before their own. Still, this looks to me to be a twisting of the obvious intention of the Hague Convention.
I grew up in Chatham, went to school with the 2-IC in the police dept. Small (35,000 pop) city at the center of Kent County in the heart of southwestern Ontario farm belt. Strong family attitudes in that town, in many ways more American than Canadian due to its close (50 mile) distance to the Windsor / Detroit border. MOre Tiger fans than Blue Jay fans. Not nearly the political correctness as here in Toronto.
This is where we get to find out if the Hague Convention trumps the Charter of Rights- specifically, the clause in the latter enshrining the right to stay in Canada.
The parents are Canadian, the children are Canadian, the parents were married in Canada ... will someone tell me how England has any say over anything relating to this marriage, divorce, or child custody ?????
Is Canada still a subject of the British empire ?
The only justice I found in Chatham , Kent County , was in front of a visiting judge from Perth County . Her lawyer was a liar and the so called counselors at the Lester Pearson Center were nothing but feminist jerks . The kids grew up , which is something the legal profession has never figured out how to stop , and as adults filled in the blanks for me . Then I got really mad .
These three little girls are doing it right. Raise hell and fight for themselves. Demanding a lawyer to act on their behalf would be a start . One from outside of Chatham.and Kent County.
This woman should be prosecuted for fraud.
Sounds like she lured her husband and children to a foreign country where she had her pervert buddy already waiting... and legally prepared.
These kids are goners. This is Canada , Home of same sex marriage. Adios kids, try to make Momma's life with her Dyke friend a living hell.
When will fathers' rights be given equal treatment in divorce cases? I'm so tired of fathers being given the heave-ho in divorce, no matter the circumstances. When my parents divorced when I was nine (my mother filed), my mother was given primary custody, and I had regular "visitation" with my dad, and I was never given any choice at all. Having a dad who was super-beloved be suddenly relegated to peripheral parenting status makes the heartbreak of divorce doubly awful. I'm so sick of modern society pushing dads out. Dads are so important! Thank goodness that I was able to choose my primary residence when I was twelve, and I moved in with my dad (and probably saved my sanity!). Sounds like this mom hasn't any intention of doing right by her kids. What a shame! Poor little girls - I hope someone starts listening to them soon.
actually I am surprised these kids haven't been referred to the Ministry of Justice Children's Advocate, based in Toronto, one of my best friends is a lawyer there and that is what they do, they represent kids, esp when they need third party rep vs parents, or so I think......
Don't you know, Canada has classified that as "hate speech".
I have to agree with the judge in this case. A parent does not have the right to simply take kids out of the country during a custody battle.
It seems that England is the proper venue for this custody battle.
No, it is meant to prevent one parent from running off to another country with the kids in the middle of a custody dispute. This family was legally residing in the UK at the time of their dispute. It is proper that the dispute be settled there.
This was THE front page story here today in Windsor. I will keep FR informed.
- Sept. 9, 2004: Jonathan brings his girls to Ontario to visit his ailing mother; says they then revealed their dislike of life in the U.K.
Guess what . Mom doesn't own the kids. She left , not Dad and unless Dad signed way his parental rights , he can take them anywhere he wants . In the 6 days between the 6th and 9th of Sept. I'm betting that didn't happen .
Time and time again you'll hear how the courts view both parents as being equal. You'll never hear the truth how Mom is more equal than Dad. .
Like I said in a previous post , kids grow up . And like it or not ladies , you will be judged and held responsible . Equally . Just like Dad .
Sounds like these kids don't want to go . If Mom is smart she'll back off . In less than 10 years , and that really isn't a long time, the kids will decide , not a court of law .
Where are the two partners citizens ? Canada yes ? Why not fight the divorce there ?
Following that rationale, you should have no problems with a Saudi father taking his daughters to Saudi Arabia and then refusing to bring them back to resolve custody issues.
And actually, the mother didn't leave. It was the father who decided to take the kids back to Canada without waiting to see the results of the custody dispute. He's lucky not to be facing a kidnapping charge.
