“Mr. Peterson, after reviewing all the facts of the case,
the court has ruled to deny your request for unsupervised visitation.”
Bella and Edward both breathed a sigh of relief and smiled
at one another. Will, on the other hand,
in a gesture of defiance, immediately crossed his arms over his chest while
frowning at the judge.
Judge Jamison was not amused, and removed his glasses before
narrowing his eyes at Will. “I find it
difficult to understand why you would leave the corporal punishment of your own
child in the hands of a woman who is neither Marie’s mother nor any relation to
her whatsoever. Furthermore, some would
argue that this ‘punishment’ was not a punishment at all, but child abuse,
plain and simple.” The judge put his
glasses back on and shuffled the papers in front of him. “You’re fortunate that your ex-wife chose not
to press charges. However, the fact remains
that you exhibited poor judgment with regard to the physical and mental well-being
of your child. That, coupled with the
fact that you neglected to pay child support for a significant number of months
during the past year, were the deciding factors in my ruling.”
