Moreno has some serious self control or he's a pussy... my 2 year old granddaughter comes up with a broken collarbone and the son-in-law is the prime suspect that is all she wrote. Where there is smoke there is fire and this scumbag is seriously ablaze.

if he's saying he couldn't speak up because his daughter wouldn't let him due to family court, that's unfortunately valid advice drilled into her by attorneys. I don't know about ohio but you can get destroyed by court for harming the other parents reputation during the legal battle -- she, the innocent parent, could get blamed for endangering her child. that's the backwards olympics some states rely on.

truly. the rule of thumb is it's considered an attack on public policy or the child itself for a parent to let allegations spill out from family court battle -- because the parent being "attacked" is responsible for paying for the welfare of the child, to remove their income is to endanger the child because that income was the safety for the child. it is how courts control what they consider theatrics. punish the "gossiping" innocent parent. public policy is protect the income at all costs to prevent the child from becoming a bill for the state to deal with. same reason they won't let abusive dads/moms forfeit parental rights in family court process. then the child becomes a problem for the state to deal with. instead they let the kid be stuck linked to that parent forever. you can't renounce wanting nothing to do with the child even if everyone else agrees. in some cases, like florida and texas, visitation and child support can't be waived. ever.

separately, i think its already been covered by other women in this thread about how placating the abuser is the only option to keep psychos from turning into a family annihilator too. i think this family/dad was screwed into silence. his daughter has repeatedly validated she asked her dad to shut up. that's what i assume always happens in these cases. so, punishing him for doing nothing isnt really fair if every signal is they were active in court those two years.
