Suppose your sister married a complete a$$hole, and later divorced him. I am guessing that you and your family would be angry at this man. Now suppose your sister died, and temporarily you would be taking care of your niece or nephew. Now this guy, your sister's ex-husband shows up claiming the child. I am guessing you and your family would probably not be thrilled about giving up the child to this man. Don't you find this situation quite normal? It may come down to a court making the decision, but to me there is nothing criminal about actions of either side. I perfectly understand both sides, and if I was on either side, I would probably have done the same. Joe, I don't find this situation normal at all. In fact, I don't like my brother in law but the only reason I would try to keep his children from him is if he were abusive to them. Otherwise I would never try to separate a child from a parent. In addition this family that is holding the child is not the best....a couple have been in jail and another is/was an alcoholic, and frankly I don't remember the rest. But it does not seem they have much respect for the law as further evidenced by their unwillingness to give up the child. ted
