He hasn't been out for five years yet.

I posted on night shift, I also saw a post made by you saying go on John Mccaul commit a crime. You stated what the chances of reoffending within 5 years, well he has not done that. It looks like fighting to get and keep his daughter is making him change and be a good father. Something David Hodgin wasn't with his daughter Brandi.
The court didn't release the details as to why the state of Tennessee has decided the Hodgins are not suitable foster parents but it could have something to do with their own failures as biological parents. Until they release more, I can't form an opinion about their parenting skills but I think their campaign is vilify Mr. McCaul has failed to impress the court. The idea that he must be persecuted because he's managed to clean up his act is laughably extreme and is in the same category as those getting twisted over the parade float depicting Obama in an outhouse. No foster agency would intentionally place a child in such a household.
I'm baffled why anyone would spend so much time opining how dangerous John McCaul is when he hasn't committed any offense in years but if that's how some wish to waste their time, they have the right to do so. afaik, the sky still isn't falling....

He's been in prison for most of those recent years. And he could be a model saint but that doesn't make uprooting a nine year old from the only home she can really remember in her interests.
Big day in court tomorrow. The Hodgins get to see an old friend Judge Jackson. He isn't happy with them. Very interested to see how things will go.
Should prove interesting...

Originally she wanted to visit them but no she doesn't I amsure by now she has found out the lies they have been telling people the fact that the HODGINS who claim to love her have put her in danger and tht they broke rules saying foster parents cant do what they have make money on her spash her name and face all over the media how is that helpful to her. The only people the H's think about are David and Kim which is probably why he did such a crap job of raising Brandi
Attorneys play these games with jurisdiction and it is the children in the middle who suffer. The Judges will sort it out. While the child went to Tennessee with her father's permission, he did not give the babysitter permission to keep her or to hand her off to someone else. It puzzles me why federal kidnapping charges have not been applied. JMO

BBM. Kidnapping charges have never been filed because S**** was never kidnapped. She was found to be abandoned (and neglected) by her custodial parent by DCS and the court before the Hodgins legally adopted her. She was in the custody of the State of Tennessee due to abandonment and neglect, followed by John McCaul being sentenced to prison for 15 years (which allows statutory termination of parental rights for children under age 8). John McCaul's consent was not required for the State of Tennessee to take custody.

Hopefully, the Tennessee appeals court will make a decision soon.
I'm glad to hear Judge Andy Jackson is no longer on the job. That's somewhat encouraging, IMO.
The child has been with hhim for only months. He has only been out of prison for about a year. Not sure where you are getting five years from. He went to prison for 7.5 years. He's only been out awhile. He has plenty of time to reoffend.
That being said, recidivism rates may be skewed when looking at age. Older ex-cons don't commit as many crimes as younger ones from what I've read over the years.
A new judge reviewing Sonya's case wants her returned to Tennessee. He said the ruling in January that sent her to Nebraska was illegal.
Circuit Court Judge Robert Burch recently ruled that sending Sonya to Nebraska without a hearing was illegal. Burch said Sonya should be returned to Tennessee.
State Rep. Sherry Jones said DCS also acted illegally.
"They were totally wrong on that and I hope they get themselves together and finally do the right thing for Sonya," Jones said.
Jones said DCS would never do what they did to Sonya to one of their own family members.
DCS said Sonya will remain in their custody in Nebraska until the state decides whether to take the case or give it back to Tennessee. That should happen in a few weeks.
Channel 4 reached out to McCaul's attorney, Lynn Coffinberry. She did not provide a statement by deadline.
