I'll work from the premise that some day the boys will be old enough to read here and not label htem as a step.
Maybe it is an age thing, to older people who grew up in a certain social climate then step is a term that is customary. In this day and age that type of labeling isn't neccesary.
This "ruthless" term. Does anyone have a link to the media report where it came from? TIA.
I do think there's a difference between the local media and the national media and even the international media in this case. I think the local media for the most part has tried really, really hard. Those are the very people that Tacopina and DB and JI don't want to talk to. They also don't pay for information.
The Daily Mail in London used "nasty" in a headline. Said John Picerno said KCPD was "nasty." I've watched that news conference from Friday twice and I don't recall the word "nasty" being said by Picerno. Heavy handed, accusatory yes, "nasty," no. If i missed the word "nasty" being used by Picerno in the news conference I would be grateful if someone could point that out to me so I'm not castigating the Daily Mail for irresponsible "reporting."
Has anyone seen a pic of baby lisa being held by mommy all i have seen she is alone in a seat or standing at the door. Usually they give out a pic of the child with Mommy.
I'm sorry. I really didn't realize the stigma. I really just thought it was a term. Nothing more, nothing less.
We don't know that this woman was apathetic, we know nothing about her.
bbmChildren are a blessing/sacred and should just be referred to with love. In this world it is hard enough to be a kid without stigma/labels.
IMHO
Which leads me to wonder if he is the biological father of DB's son. I know it doesn't really matter in the whole scheme of things but it would make me understand it better. I've also thought was it because he felt DB maybe tricked him into staying with her by getting pregnant.They've been denied? I was under the impression they just hadn't bothered.
ETA In fact I believe I read that Sean Bradley felt 'uncomfortable' around his son.
I disagree. I've seen and heard of it in our county and the one adjoining it happening quite a few times where custody is given to the father. In one case that I went to for support of the mom, the dad had drug charges in his past, he was living with another woman, and he was an over the road truck driver sometimes not making it back home for a couple of weeks at a time. The only thing they had against the mother was this was her third marriage. No other children. The father was granted full custody of his 7 year old daughter only to leave the courthouse and the next day when he picked his daughter up from the mom he left over the road, leaving his daughter behind with his girlfriend. I'd watched this Judge in action and my own attorney had warned me that if he was given to us that we would ask for a new Judge to oversee my divorce. (Thank goodness that didn't happen) What the attorneys and most everyone working in the courthouse that I knew was all of the same opinion he was a woman hater. So it could be something as simple as this why JI got custody. Or perhaps it was that he could better provide for the child at the time, maybe he had more family support, or even just been able to afford an attorney and the mom couldn't. We just don't know.There had to be a very good reason for her to not get custody, of some sort. IF she were to regain custody, hopefully nothing will happen to the boy. A mother proven to not get custody over a son in court against a father who was granted full custody in court. hhhhmmmm
Should he be tried on specultion rather than fact? Do courts work that way?
If perhaps she couldn't have afforded an attorney (just saying if) then she may have already felt defeated before the court hearing.Hmmmmmm didn't care enough to even show up maybe? That seems like a VERY important court date to keep.
As opposed to the son being brainwashed by DB and JI to save their own behinds?Let's hope bio-mom doesn't now want custody or even partial custody just so she can brainwash the kid into giving false information about Baby Lisa's disappearance. I could the possibilty of this if she thinks the only way to get full custody is to have the boy say something incriminating, whether true or not.
Close or not they are not legally brothers. They may consider themselves as such but legally they are not, just as DB living in JI's home doesn't make her his wife.They are being raised together. Based on the birthday photos, photos with Lisa, video of them returning from school together......they seem pretty darn close.
AMEN!It appears some are quick to find fault with Jeremy's son's mom--a woman who hasn't been in the case at all. Yet the mother of missing Lisa, an admitted heavy drinker, is hailed as a seemed mother of the year. :waitasec: moo
I believe that he was awarded custody by default, she didn't show up.
Wow, that just proves JI was "ruthless" about getting custody doesn't it?
Anyone know why she lost custody?
These poor kids!
Plenty of pics right here.

Yes, and that she is not apathetic in the least. There is always legal aid.
I didn't know Legal Aid in MO took on divorces, custody issues?

Where I live, they do not have legal aide for custody issues. As I stated before, we do not know why she didn't "show" up. Maybe she didn't know about the court date, maybe her car broke down, maybe she was scared, maybe she is just not a good mother. We shouldn't assume anything about this mother, nor think she "lost" custody. None of us have any clue what the situation was like, for her, the child, or with JI.I guess I don't know that they do either but thought that's what legal aid is for. At any rate I can't imagine a judge basing custody on who has an attorney. She had a court date. She didn't show up. I know I would have but she could have been suffering a great deal of depression. That may even been why she appears apathetic to some of us now that I think about it.
