You make a valid point of careful consideration in the cases of accusations during divorces; however, most times it is because of these accusations that the parents are splitting – not visa versa.

The number of fathers who rape, molest, and sell their children into sex and child porn is staggering and would probably make you weep, if you are the kind of man you claim to be.

I am sorry for what you say you experienced, but it does not diminish the facts of sexual abuse committed by a child's own parents. It happens every single day in this country and abroad.

Accusation <> Guilt.

I was (falsely, obviously) accused in the middle of my divorce/custody battle. It was among the most horrific experiences I can imagine.

FATHERS almost never do stuff like this, but STEP fathers (or, more acurately, "the guy mom's screwing THIS month") do with sick regularity.

The fact is that today false accusations against FATHERS far outnumber actual guilty men. PLEASE bear this in mind when someone you know gets accused — ESPECIALLY in the middle of a divorce or custody battle…

The "father" was never punished because of money passed around. <br />The molester could not understand why I would never talk or interact with him. It was a "mistake". A mistake he happened to make with 4 daughters over the period of years. <br />When he lay in the hospital dying from cancer, I made sure all the caregivers knew about his past. It's amazing the different ways a catheter can be removed or how a needle can change gauge with this information known.

Never mind that they are 20 and 17 now, they are still my babies. I'd die for them. I sure as hell kill to protect them. From the day they were born to the day I die, I'll feel that way.

This mutt simply needs killing.

Slowly.
