Scratch up a victory (another small step forward) …
So I’ve been bit quiet lately. Been a bit busy, I have. Caring for a couple of girls on weekends. Two of them. In my care. Unattended. Unsupervised. And they’re happy!
For those that don’t know me, I’ve been Family Courtised: Accused; Trialed; Convicted; Sentenced and Hung. No evidence necessary; Allegations in essence that I “may” have done something unspecified against my own daughter. Supervised Access only permitted.
Except now I have a temporary parenting order in favour of these other two girls; not mine. No relation. Eating, sleeping, bathing etc all under my roof. And they trust me explicitly. These girls are aware - even attend with me - my supervised access to my own daughter. They can’t figure it. I talk openly and frankly with them, and about what, how and why I ensure their safety - physical and sexual.
You read right. Even the Court has agreed that they be in my care. Legally signed, sealed and delivered, for as long as required, with leave to apply for a permanent Parenting Order, if need be.
These girls have NO relationship with their mother, who last week sought without notice custody of one of them. Didn’t give a toss about the other one. So we, ever prepared, fought straight back and sent mother packing.
When I say no relationship, these girls have not lived with their mother for years; have no birthday or christmas contact, do not want to live with her, and have been assaulted by her husband. I would actually like to see some contact develop.
Their father is currently gravely ill in hospital, in a coma, although the prognosis is a little better just today. Should he be permanent incapacitated, (or worse), I will seek full guardianship and permanent parenting order. To be fair - I have kept my other case completely out of the arena of this one - but their dad knows ALL the details.
So where does leave my own children - barred from seeing me for more than a handful of supervised minutes, should i suddenly decide that I want to do the unmentionables?
Good question. Logic might dictate that I pose a far greater risk to the other unrelated girls - statistically, at least.
One day - and soon, the Court will have to answer a very simple litle set of questions: why does one FC rule me safe? And another not? Why are two (unrealted) girls safe? And another (related) not?

Hi Al,
sorry to hear that you’re not getting the contact with your daughter you deserve. At the same time it’s lovely that you can care for the other two ‘daughters’ you’ve aquired.
Well done.

Hi Al,
Inspite of your dilemma regarding your own children, I am pleased you are not being treated the same way around all children.
I can remember when I first commented on a post you wrote and told you about my friend, how he was accused of sexually molesting one of his children by his ex and how she confronted me about it. Infact when she tried to convince my older son a few months back, he smashed her cupboard. He has given my boys alot of great knowledge. He is going to enjoy this post.
