I wish you would do an Article on Marion County Indiana corruption.

First, this is a shitty situation. I also see where the lawyer is coming from. By identifying the participants, you identify the children involved. The child also apparently has serious issues going on, but strangely I don't see any behavior of a molestation victim. I see an angry teenage girl, very angry. Absent any evidence, it's not really clear to me what is written here is true. She seems desperate to explain away her lack of any molestation victim behavior. She puts up a big fuss, but then ultimately went home with dad instead of foster. If dad is guaranteed to hurt her and foster is just a bad reputation she heard, why did she choose dad? Make it make sense.

Considering the incredibly low conviction rate on rape, I have been calling doubt to a lot of these situations, especially from younger women. False accusations seem to be one of the modern primary social weapons in a young girl / woman's arsenal and it has only grown worse as actual abuse has decreased, but only from men. I'm not saying that is what is going on here, but I am skeptical, because there was no evidence of molestation or rape, further the accuser went back when there were other options despite putting on a huge show for social services and anyone who would listen. Including you. I'm not saying she is lying, but there are inconsistencies in her story, the email you posted and what the court found. The problem with the family court is it believes women even when they lie, not that they ignore women. This is a fallacy pushed by feminist orgs and those they pay for it. Men are incriminated and forced into a wallet for life slave situation because it's less paperwork and court services have a reason to exist and bill 100$ an hour. That you argue with incredible minority stories like this that its the opposite is pure nonsense.

She didn't choose dad. He was hoisted on her by a court order. She has said repeatedly that molests her. She said it again in the email.

In the email she says she didn't go to foster and instead went with him. I'm not imagining it. It's in her email.

She also says, "I still feel uneasy when he touches me and sleep with the door locked." Are you defending child molesters now?

I'm not defending anyone. She says a lot of things. The court also says there's no evidence and you say he's a child molester. I don't know what to think.

I trust nobody. Trust is earned not expected. Trust is something that can end the wrong lives if misplaced or given too much free reign. Trust is why most people still think men are the big bads in family court. Well, that and people calling them child molesters despite the court exonerating them. In the grand scheme, I trust teenage girls and young women the least. They grew up taught to be victims for what they want. So, no. When someone says their perpetrator molests them, but decides to go back to them when foster is an option, I don't tend to believe them. It's going to take more than an inconsistent story and no evidence, to sway me either way. The court has little patience for it as well. If I was in that situation I would choose, hypothetically, to leave any way I could. But, that didn't happen here, and despite there being other options, like one of 3,000 womens' shelters, foster or one of countless other highly funded women's and girls outreach NPOs and charities, it's still not happening. Why? And don't tell me the judge.
