Saturday Open Thread - 2/21/26: Odds and Ends
Submitted by on the cusp on Sat, 02/21/2026 - 7:00am
Good morning, good people!
Lots of experiences in court this week exemplifying the chances to the Family Code and Penal Code, which pushes for co-parenting when the parents are no longer in the same household. Two different counties, two different judges, showing deference to the Code despite evidence. One guy admitted under oath that he was a lifetime registered sex offender who continuously raped his little brother, served 8 years in prison, nonetheless was given visitation with his kids, while under investigation for having sexually assaulted his 13 yr old daughter. He complained that his wife did drugs for 12 years, but admitted he supplied her. Father of the year!
Then, the schizophrenic/ bipolar Mom with a history of suicide ideation, violence, arrests, institutionalization, currently on felony probation for attacking her 80 yr old step-dad, got weekend visitation with her 5 yr old daughter without supervision. She actually testified that what keeps her from murder/suicide is contact with her daughter to do her hair, nails, and go play at the park.
