    My mother believed this strongly. When she divorced our father she viewed never to have another man live in our home, with me and my two teenaged sisters. Her romantic life occurred outside our home. Period . So many parents don't get it, there's competition and jealousy in these situations and that spells danger for the kids.

    People need to think before commenting. If you hold CPS responsible in cases like this: A: No one in their right mind would do the job. B: They would deny any visitation across the board to protect themselves. The father is most to blame in this case for letting his girlfriend near his daughter. I almost think he was complicit after the first incident. How could he not know his girlfriend hated the daughter? Sounds like the whole family is a shitshow.

    Quite easily, actually. At 20, the risk assessment center of the brain is not fully developed. Also, the parts of the brain responsible for more altruistic behavior are also not fully functional. Want to know what the most active parts are? The ones associated with selfish/ self serving behavior. This is why teenagers are often called selfish, etc, but these behaviors and brain function continue until 25-30 years old.

My kids Dad and I always had and still have a great relationship even though we split a long time ago. He's had girlfriends who hated me because he and I get along. To his credit, he'd tell them that it's not going to change and they could accept it or go. They went. Ridiculous that people don't accept the other parent. I'm sorry for the loss of this innocent angel. Hopefully the girlfriend never sees the light of day.

If they aren’t doing their job, then no one is because there are inevitably thousands of people with kids who are ill-equipped for that in one way or another.
