cyberjesus - when you've just lost an emotionally and financially draining battle that has dragged on for months, and you know that children will continue to be in danger who would otherwise be safe if you had succeeded, I challenge you to present your thoughts and ideas with absolute precision and transparency. In making my post earlier, I made no attempt to suggest that everything Steven has said or done has been perfect, and he would be the first to admit the same. This is one of the many reasons why people with endless financial resources at their disposal hire lawyers. However, Steven made the brave decision to go it alone and present his case without legal counsel, and he has failed in so doing. At a time when posters on this forum should be patting him on the back and commiserating with him, they have picked at the bones of his story and tried to find any "dirt" they can with which to discredit him under the mantra " he must be a fraud until we can prove that he isn't". It is this fiercely negative attitude that I condemn rather than any genuine questions that are raised about Steven with genuine motives, any of which could be directed to him rather than being speculatively peddled on overtly critical threads at what is, after all, an extremely emotional time for him.
