Are the Deputy & his Baby Mama Good Role Models?

When a marriage produces a child or receives a child through adoption, it is one of life’s greatest blessings. Roughly 40% of children being raised today are in a home without a father. The effects of that fact are staggering. Father absence causes increases in mental and behavioral disorders as well as criminal activity and substance abuse. But when children are raised in a healthy marriage, they get a front row seat to see and experience the lasting benefits of a strong family.

All Pro Dad

In the court of public opinion, we have before us a local law enforcement officer and his second baby mama. He's accused of verbal harassment, and she's trying to take back her initial statement to the police. Unfortunately, this is not unusual in relationships, even marriage.

Let's look at some of the facts:

* The deputy was also apparently not married to baby mama number one with whom he has a son. (We welcome any corrections.)

* It's unknown if baby mama number two had ever been married, but she has a little girl.

* We may infer that both these individuals knew what produces a child, but didn't care enough about any offspring or each other to make a commitment. We see where that has gotten them.

* Supposedly, the little girl considered the deputy her father and now she's grieving after losing him.

* The deputy was vindictive enough to make a pubic statement on Facebook that baby mama number two didn't let him see his son on Father's Day. (And now they say they have a great relationship?!!!)

* Baby Mama was upset enough with the deputy to call the police when he verbally attacked her.

* Now Baby Mama says: I can’t keep quiet any longer. This is for all you people that are bashing and posting your opinion about something that you have no clue about! Yes, it’s true Wes and I had a pretty heated argument that DID NOT take place on Fathers Day. He was working on Fathers Day. But that’s beside the point. We had a pretty heated argument one thing led to another and I ended up filing a police report. (I shouldn’t have. But it was in the heat of the moment which still doesn’t make it right) I did not want it to go any further than just a police report but unfortunately, Florence PD took it upon themselves to file a warrant against him even after me calling every day to make sure it was dropped and nothing was going to come of it. I was under the impression that I would have to be the one to press the charges as that is what I was told by the two officers that I spoke with while filing the report. I even called the day the warrant was issued to make sure it was dropped and that Wes wouldn’t be arrested over it. The detective I spoke to said “no, that was not their intentions.” Which was obviously, not the truth. Wes and I don’t always see eye to eye but since the day of our heated arugument our co-parenting relationship has been great! Since the argument We have taken xxxxxx shopping for his birthday party together, we had his birthday party together last weekend, and he is still allowed to see xxxxxx. Wes is an awesome daddy and I hate this happened all out of the heat of the moment but there isn’t anything I can do to change it now. Trust me, I have tried and I have done everything I know to do. So, for all you people that are so quick to judge and post your opinion about something you have no clue about please know the facts! Oh and feel free to share this as quick as you were the misinformed articles with your opinions!

* The deputy could lose his job permanently if convicted of domestic violence.

We're predicting two things:

1. Florence Municipal Court will send the deputy to some type of anger management course and there will be no official conviction on his record.

2. Lauderdale County will have another black mark on the quality of its deputies, most of whom couldn't solve the case of Professor Plum if they found his body in the courthouse law library.
