One is the child; the other is that birth mother who often will go through extraordinary guilt years later when she begins to think through what happened — with the baby, with her.

Tbh I’ve always felt like blood was always one of the less disgusting things to come out of my body and also less disgusting than Donald Trump.

And that lawsuit will cost the taxpayers money, not the police. I’m not saying she shouldn’t sue, I’m saying the proceeds from the suit should come from the police retirement funds. When the “few” bad cops start costing the “good” cops money, then maybe the good cops will do something about their “brothers” behavior.

If she has openly stated she will not issue licenses to same sex couples which is HER JOB, why hasn’t she been removed from her position? This actually seems like a pretty black/white issue, bitch won’t do her job fire her ass.

I’ve never been pregnant, and I worry too much, so feel free to discount my opinion, but I don’t think I could take a morning sickness pill without worrying about thalidomide-like side effects.

My point is that—after spending months mentioning the case in various Dirt Bags and MWMs—I thought it would be helpful to put all of the coverage in one place.

Well according to this ruling from 2013, the decision was made almost exclusively because of the father’s inability to enter the U.S. They mention Kelly’s schedule (as well as accusations made by her nanny), but still claim she’s a good parent.

Family law attorney here. The court is obligated to weigh the best interests of the children. That is the determining factor. Here, and in pretty much every case, it is in the best interests of the children to spend as much time as possible with each parent. In this case, the parents do not live in the same place, so…

But didn’t the court find she had lied about her work schedule and the threat of him kidnapping them (which is hugely ironic given she has basically kidnapped them now). So not really to be honest.

Isn’t it because whilst she can go and see her kids in Monaco (which he pays for I think) he can't do the same in the US? So it is kind of logical.

Rutherford’s attorney “says the New York judge was ‘perplexed’ that California forfeited jurisdiction over the case and that the legal system has ‘caused profound and irreparable harm to Kelly’s children.’”

beat me to it. i keep staring at that quote like

You seem to forget that 13 year old children do not have a developed prefrontal cortex, which helps to deal with aggression, planning, and abstract judgement, among other things. This is just one reason why this is complete bullshit.

This is not okay. It illustrates just how little our judicial system gives a fuck about rehabilitation when they are willing to do this to fucking children.

Is this...satire? I don’t see how it can’t be.

HERE’S WHAT I THINK OF THEIR STUPID FISH

Okay, I have moved on to actively wanting to choke them both.
