State seeks custody of unborn child..more

Okay, look, I have to admit this one has me stumped. What does everyone think? Think the state is justfied in seeking custody of the baby she hasn’t given birth to yet?

She doesn’t even live with him! This one is going to be interesting to watch.

Unless they’re taking ALL the kids of all rapists, murderers and Paedophiles, I don’t think this one is going to work out the way the State wants it to.

I thought so. I didn’t catch the first time that he didn’t even live with her (lives 20 miles away, article says) but saw that when I re-read it. I guess I’m not understanding why the state has a bug up its ass to take the baby from her. They aren’t living together - I guess they’re cheesed due to the potential for the guy to see and be in the same room with his kid.

I agree - I don’t think the state has a case here.
