Please take into consideration that he has been a respectful part of the community for the 8 or more years he has lived here been raising a daughter that gets straight A's and had perfect attendance for the past few years been running a company with 98% satisfactory score and all after recovery from brain trama caused from car accident. I don't know what happens, just what I hear and see and that is a man that had his daughter Yank away among other things ect. I can't say what you would do if your child that you try to protect and provide for is out of your life in a split second and you have chance to bring her home and told no when its your right !! I would have trouble staying calm. This is just what I know and my opinion PS. I'm just looking at a positives that go with negatives .thanks to Dave Staley for letting me use his login here sincerely Mr Innocent till proven guilty!!!
