Of course.
But if what was posted is true (who is it who always posts criminal background stuff here.... I'm half asleep, can't remember... maybe they can help search for her records) then it would appear that DS wasn't filing for protection out of "spite".
And if true, she shouldn't have been kidnapped. She should have been in jail. Assault with a weapon?
It all boils down to what happened prior to the event. Perhaps she was trying to protect herself and the victim lied about what he did to cause her to behave the way she did.
As far as the sexual molestation allegations are concerned, countless women use this as a ploy to attempt to get full custody of their children.
If the husband did molest their daughter, and this was substantiated, there would be a case pending against him.
If the husband has a horrible temper as portrayed, the allegations of child molestation would most likely push him into a rage and it is clear, in my opinion, he either abducted Venus or was involved in her abduction by involving another person.
If you are that terrified of a man, and I know because I was in that position, no matter where you are, you don't want to go anywhere alone.
I didn't have children when I fled from an abusive man who tried to kill me and told me many times that I was his and no matter where I went, he'd find me.
Concealing the whereabouts of children from their parent, when a relationship has been established, is illegal in most cases. However, in this case, if the husband did indeed abduct her, she was foolish to go live with her parents where the husband could easily locate her.
I hope this case is solved soon. If the husband is responsible, I hope he spends the rest of his life in prison!
