Should Jaycee's Bio Dad Be Allowed to Have a DNA Testing Done?

[Imbackon]

he's pretty much screwed then. good.
unless he gets it moved to minny......or whatever rock he crawled out from under

KB what is Minny? I am from Minnesota, and I hope you don't mean there!

Another unusual aspect of this case is that the mother herself did not excercise parental authority over the children, it was the father and his wife. The children regarded their mother as their sister. So, would it be possible to make an argument that Jaycee isn't the mother from a legal point of view as well?

Nope.

If Jaycee declines his request, surely this man would not force himself on her and the girls this way. I hope all this legal talk is just forum babble because if he did take this to that level, he truly is self centered. No way can he truly care about Jaycee or his new found grandchildren and put them through those kind of proceedings.

This is exactly how I see it. that is why I am trying to understand what his intent truly is.

i thought slayton lived in minnesota.
what i meant though, was what rock he crawled out from in minnesota lol or wherever he lives

Nope.

No, I think you are wrong. It's a reasonable argument that does make this case different.

i dont get why he needs the mouthpiece lawyer. if his motives were good i woudl think he would come out and say "no my lawyers is wrong, im not forcing legal action here" but of course he hasnt. no need to hire a lawyer UNLESS your going to take action

The counterargument would be that if Jaycee really cared about her kids, she wouldn't either. Which is why I think both parties will reach a settlement before a court gets involved. This stuff we are seeing now is posturing because the two families don't like each other (which doesnt involve Jaycee herself - she is caught in the crossfire, and may not even be aware of all of this). But in the end they will compromise, they have to.

The most likely reason is that he is being stonewalled by the Probyns.

Jaycee's an adult. She doesn't have to submit to DNA testing in order to satisfy this man's sudden urge to be her "father." Let's just say his timing is very bad.

 

[athy]

i too think his timing is wrong and he needs to wait for any talk of DNA. but in reading everyone talking about this and how he hasn't had anything to do with jaycee there seems to be something that at least some have forgotten. according to what he said he never KNEW jaycee's mom was pregnant with her and that she could be his child until AFTER jaycee was abducted. if this is true and he didn't know she existed how was he to have anything to do with her? and once he found out she was already gone...how was he to then?

this is wrong. terry called him up when she found out and todl him. and then she called him up after she had the baby and told him jaycee looked just like him. he just claimed she wasnt his.

there simply is not enough information currently available to vote in this poll.
We don't know why he is seeking to establish paternity.

I do not believe that when Allred says they "may take further action", that that is what this guy intends to do. She may have said that in response to a direct question from the press.

The guy needs a mouthpiece for the same reason everyone else involved needs one -- it's a complicated, serious business. What kind of [person] would walk into that arena and informally ask about paternity? seriously....

what kind of [person]wants to put the daughter he allegedly cares about thru more problems just to alieve his own guilt for his own failures?

How do you know the two families dislike each other? How do you know Jaycee is caught in the middle? And why does Jaycee's family have to compromise for anything? This man literally comes out the blue with this bizarre claim after showing zippo interest in his child for 28 years. Now, he wants to be grandfather? That implies he still has zippo interest in Jaycee and if I was her family I would resent the heck out of that, but I don't know any of that is true.

Truthfully, I don't see any posturing on either side. Slayton made a request; Jaycee's family declined to comment except to say they were surprised by his request. My comments are directed only at the Slayton's possible motives, but if he is determined to turn this into a battle then his motives are strictly self-serving. Jaycee and the girls do not need, or deserve, to be in the middle of a paternity "fight" if that is what you want to call it. Haven't they had enough trauma in their lives without this?

If Slayton insist on pushing this, and he does get a meeting, he better be in for the long haul. He can't bring them down to his home, give them a party, and when the relationship becomes work, and all relationships become work, he better not decide then it is more than he bargained for. Jaycee and the girls need/demand only those committed to their well-being and recovery -- not pop in and out do-gooders.

kbl8201:

Absolutely and to imply if Jaycee loved her children she would do whatever this man she has never met, never known, never had a minute to spare before she was rescued, is cruel.

I have read conflicting reports as to how this went down. Do you have a link to your info kbl8201? thanks in advance.

He lives somewhere in SoCal, I think outside of L.A. Nowhere near Minnesota.

he claimed the parts about her caling him after she was born in his little interview here that was quoted a few pages back.
the part about terry calling him when she found out she was pregnant has been aroud for years i think

thanks for the clarification tizzle
for some reason i thought i read minnesota lol

This is also wrong. It's been reported that Terry called him only ONCE about 2 weeks after their affair to tell him that she was pregnant. After Jaycee was born, the mutual friend called him to inform him that Terry had given birth and that the baby looked like him. Terry didn't make that call.

BBM
You have no idea, just like the rest of us, whether his claims were for or against his parentage. He stated that after the phone call from Terry he didn't know what her plans were as far keeping the baby or not. Terry may have not wanted his involvement and could have stated this in the one phone call she made to him which would explain why he didn't know if she was keeping the baby or not. Maybe he decided to respect her wishes in order to not "rock the boat". Not a great decision, by any means, but a possibility for sure. None of us know, for certain, what went on. But she could have called him initially because she knew he would find out from the mutual friend that she was pregnant, anyway. So, maybe she wanted to save him and herself any uncomfortable "why didn't I find this out from you?" phone calls by just calling him herself and stating her intentions/uncertainty of her intentions.

No I do not believe that that argument would be successful. Jaycee's lack of parental authority over the girls was arguably forced by the kidnappers. Arguments could be floated that she is not legally their Mother...but I do not believe they will hold water with a Judge.
