CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A Charlotte woman reported to jail Friday morning after she baptized her daughter.

The court case goes back a couple of years to when Kendra Stocks and Paul Schaaf were in a custody battle over their daughter. According to court documents, the two could never agree to the terms of their daughter's baptism.

"It’s just very sad. It’s all just a very sad situation,” Stocks told Channel 9.

Interesting dilemma for the officiant performing the baptism.

One can’t have a husband, and ex-husband, or a divorce without a marriage.

You can have a crazy ex-wife though.

My son inhaled a foreign object and was in an oxygen tent in the hospital. He started to turn blue and I yanked him out of that oxygen tent and took him to the sink in the hospital room and baptized him. A formal baptism was lalter performed in the Catholic Church. But my baptism was legally done.

I didn’t act out of spite. My husband knew nothing about it. I was just afraid that my son was going to die.

There is obviously a serious reason why the judge gave the father control of decision making. This judge is a very good judge in Charlotte and cares a lot about children. He is highly thought of in his jurisdiction.

Wow. This is a pretty in your face act of defiance to a judicial order and also of calculated spite directed to the father. If I were the judge I would have to seriously consider giving sole custody of the child to the father and limiting the mother to supervised visitation. She sounds like she is several fries short of a Happy Meal.
