Wow, this is amazing... I have kept husband from going to the media for several years now... And you all have put into words what I couldn't, why I didn't want to do this to the kids.
But now it is the kids who want to do this. Onyxx, really - and due to the developmental issues, I really don't think Jett is even going to notice. It won't be any worse for him than his life has been so far.
I'm working the human-interest-kids-get-******-by-the-system angle. (I put in asterisks because I can't find a word the censor won't remove! LOL)
I figure we grab the reporter's attention with the abuse - well, Onyxx will do that part - I will focus on the legalities, what has happened and why according to the legal documentation I have (her denying husband visits "due to hard feelings because he was behind on child support", him going to jail because the kids refused to visit her, the other **** that has been put into court orders and has happened). Onyxx can tell her story. I won't censor her. She can say whatever she needs to - because coming from a woman, abuse is a story, coming from a KID - wow.
I will also ask if there are other families that have been hurt by this judge. Perhaps if there are enough...
As for being careful... yes. When the lawyer came back in sans husband yesterday, Onyxx looked at him and said, "Hello, Fox 45". The lawyer laughed and said "Just give me a heads up before it airs."
Lawyer is really, really ANGRY about the situation. He's a really good guy. Onyxx has been intimidated by him for several years - when he told he she did good, and we got ready to leave, she told him he needed a hug. Onyxx does not hug just anyone.
But you know what? Let the batcave tell her story. Let her explain that her boyfriend molested her daughter and was arrested for it. Let her explain all the police reports where she was told to stop harassing husband. Let her explain her arrests. husband has still never been arrested for anything. Let her explain how and why her infant child died - when it is backed up by the coroner's report (she says SIDS, coroner says asphyxiation due to co-sleeping with an adult - HER). Let her explain her explosions in public. Let her explain.
Jett is not sure if he is going to the batcave tonight. I am going to request a peace officer be present during pickup. I am also going to ask him to tell her that I expect the return to be ON TIME unlike normal. Maybe I can just have him stand there while I say it. Lawyer says she can't keep Jett (or Onyxx, who won't go anyway) while husband is in jail. Also then if Jett says he's not going, I have documentation.
