IF Brad is NOT charged in Nancy's murder then IF he wants his daughters back, he WILL get them. He is their bio father, whether Nancy's family likes it or not, those children are Brad's. And I do NOT believe a judge is going at ask a BIO father to undergo a Psych exam to have his daughters returned to him - he ALLOWED Nancy's family to take the children (for whatever reason) but legally speaking, Brad is still the custodial parent. The GP's just got him to agree they could have TEMPORARY custody of the girls until the murder investigation was completed.
Lot of "IFS" here. Brad must be cleared, and he must WANT his daughters - which is going to require a HUGE lifestyle change for him AND for the girls too. Full-time Day-Care or a nanny and if no full-time nanny, there will be no weekday activities or dance lessons (because Brad will have to work). No more Ironman triathalons, no more extended trips away from home (if any overnight trips at all) and Brad will have to hire a housekeeper or learn to cook, clean and do laundry. And ALL of them will need counseling - together and separately. Becoming an instant single parent in a place where you have no family and at this point, very little community support will be tough for ALL of them - Brad may decide the girls are better off in Canada - not likely - but it is a possibility.
I predict a "non-suspect" Brad will move - perhaps just to a different area or neighborhood, but maybe back to Canada. I don't think BC will stay in his current home if he is cleared, not with many of the neighbors openly hostile. And I have to agree with one point, IF Brad is NOT a suspect and is cleared if I were him I would NOT send my daughters to a school or day care where ANY of the children of friends of Nancy might attend. The affidavits made it clear their opinions of Brad and THAT could eventually harm the ONLY 100% innocents in all of this, the daughters. It is NOT right for ANY adult to make those girls pay in any way for something they didn't choose and cannot change - they are his daughters and they cannot be anything else.
My Opinion
See, I just have to disagree with this. BC's wife died under suspicious circumstances. He could be the next Jason Young. This could drag out for years. He's suicidal, he's not suicidal, he's a narcissist, he's not a narcissist, he can be volatile, explosive, etc. or not. Just depends on who you talk to. If he did not do this, it just plain sucks that he's having to go through all this but I'm sorry, go through it he must for the sake of those girls.
Sperm donor does not equal loving, attentive, responsible parent. Yes, BC seems to have some issues that have been brought light, coincidentally his wife just happened to be murdered just prior to that. Of course he should be evaluated before he can get the girls back. For the judge to ignore these very extraordinary circumstances and not made sufficient provisions for Bella & Katie's welfare, i.e. (a psych consult), would be negligent.
IMO
