First of all...there is no proof that shows that she didn't really believe this guy was the father. And obviously, there was just as much a chance he could have been the father or else he wouldn't have believed it in the first place.Originally posted by Jvesti
wyldfire there is clearly a hole in your logic.
What if the mother is a scam artist? Should she not go to jail because she "has a kid"? What if she is a murderer, or scams people out of half their money??
The child IS suffering because its with Amber Frey, and will be raised by this con artist that's let be one.
The fact is, trash like her should NOT be raising children. This is a suitable parent?
Andrea Yates was probably a great mother too accept for her criminal behavior, the ... killing n all.
Yes, the woman was wrong for not telling him there was someone else who could be the father and also telling that man. There's also no proof that she didn't tell him another guy could be the father...especially if she said she was pretty sure the baby wasn't the other guy's. Bottom line...you don't know the woman's intent or what was actually said and not said. On top of that...none of this has anything to do with what kind of a parent the woman is. I've known some people who did some really screwed up things who took perfect care of their kids, were very loving and would be considered great parents by any standards.
I'm going to share another personal story about myself. This is going to open me up to a great deal of personal attacks...but it's a perfect example of what I'm trying to explain.
I was dating a guy for about 8 months. We had an agreement to be exclusive. I had a family emergency and had to leave town for a couple of weeks. During that time he had sex with his best friend's girlfriend. When I returned from the emergency trip, I learned what he did and broke up with him. I had a very brief fling with his best friend. When the guy I had been seeing found out he came over, crying, apologizing for what he did and begged me to give him another chance. We had gotten along really well, had fun together and I said what the hell. The two times I had sex with his best friend we had used condoms. The guy I got back together with, two nights after I had been with the friend, we had unprotected sex using the rhythm method (pulling out). We took a risk, stupidly. After about a month, I broke up with him again because he lacked follow through when he said he was going to do something. It annoyed me to no end. About a week later I discovered I was pregnant.
In my position, who would you assume the father was? Obviously, the guy I had slept with regularly and that one time without a condom. (This is why I am pushing the use of condoms as hard as I am.)
I was completely honest with him and told him that although I was pretty sure the baby was his, there was a slight chance it could be his friend's.
When my daughter was 6 months old we had a paternity test done. The results came back showing that he wasn't her father. He hadn't paid any child support and he actually didn't want the test. I was the one who insisted on it being done...because I wanted to know for sure.
So...my daughter was conceived while using a condom. It was her father's condom. He actually chased me pretty hard for about 5 years and I told him before hand that I get pregnant easily. Part of me thinks he may have poked a hole in the condom. He did want a child. He had tried with his ex girlfriend to have a child. He really wanted to be a father and he loves our daughter very much...and the guy who I thought was her father really didn't want to have another child...so it worked out okay in the end. I certainly didn't want to get pregnant, but I oppose abortion and take responsibility for my behavior...and my little girl is the damn best mistake/accident I evern made/had. She's the light of my life...and her father and his family adore her. There was a happy ending. We had her last name changed to match her Daddy's and he'd give her the world if he could. He didn't really want to have a child under the conditions we had her...but he's thrilled to have her just the same.
So...situations like this aren't always so cut and dry as you're trying to make them. I've always been incapable of lying or holding back the truth...so I stressed the fact that even though I felt pretty certain it was the guy I had been dating's child...there was a chance it wasn't. I also insisted on a paternity test even though he did NOT want one. I was wrong about who was the father, and I was sincerely shocked.
Yeah, Amber Frye named the wrong guy as the father of her little girl...but neither you or I know if she did it on purpose, or that she intended to wrong anyone. The guy who did pay child support obviously loved the little girl as if she were his, and I dare say he's probably more upset that he's NOT her father than anything else. And if he loves her the last thing he would want is to stick her Mommy in jail. He probably doesn't even want that child support back, but just wants to have the right to see the child he loves.
If he wants the money back (and he might not)...then have the real father refund it. If he wants to continue contact...give him visitation. If he wants to sue Amber Frye...let him...but I doubt he'd want to hurt the child he loves enough to have been supporting all this time.
Dude...very clearly you're pissed over some woman that hurt you in the past. Amber Frye has nothing to do with you and neither does this guy. Yeah, it sucks what happened to him...but since you weren't there you really don't know what happened. And you don't know how he feels or what he wants. You're pissed and just looking for any reason to be angry and hate on women in general because someone hurt you. Honestly...what the hell is the point in that? What do you gain from that? Not a damn thing other than a bad attitude and a miserable existence.
Yeah, there are bad women out there who will treat you bad...and there are bad men out there too. Rest assured...any woman who has hurt a guy has also been hurt by a guy at least once too. Men don't have it any worse or easier than women and vice versa...we all make mistakes and we all get done wrong...it's part of life.
But you know what? When an innocent child is brought into things that's when it's time to set aside all the "he said, she said", "he did/she did" nonsense and do right by the kid because they need and deserve it and have nothing to do with who did what wrong. That's the bottom line.
