Ok, here is the situation,
Background:
I have a niece and nephew, whose parents are seperated. My sister has custody. Their father has everyother weekend visits.
My nephew lives with us (me & my other sister) and my niece lives with her mother.
Their father is less than stable, he has a history of mental problems and violence (though not to the kids that I know of)and it puts my bp up everytime they have to go because a few times he has threatened to keep them.
The father has tried many times to get custody, but has failed in every attempt.
My sister has just has recently served him with court papers to get the weekend visits withdrawn as it is a 6 hour round trip there and back (yes, he moved way out of state). Because it is just too much on the kids and they wind up missing some school on a count of it.
The problem:
This was the father's weekend for them to visit. My sister's car died last month and she doesn't have the finance to get it fixed yet. So he said fine, I'll pick them up and bring them back.
He called my sister and started cussing her out for no reason (like he needs one!
) Saying he wasn't bringing them back and she'd better come and get them. So she tell's him fine I'll get my brother to drive me up there to which he and his (also unstable) wife start yelling at her and telling her they are going to call the police on her!
I'm not too good with these kinds of things so my other sister has been talking to her. She got her to call the police up there but there was no answer. So she called the police in her hometown and they called there and my nephew & nieces father and his wife started screaming and yelling at the cops!
So the police are writting up a report about it and if they don't bring the kids back by tomorrow my sister will press charges.
I can't believe they don't understand that that is kidnapping! My neice and nephew also need to be in school in the morning, but he doesn't care about that I guess.
Enoungh venting from me or this will keep going on and on!
I'll keep you updated.
