This is so wrong. It's like the case of Bethany Hughes in Canada. Those witnesses saw nothing wrong and in fact felt totally righteous in support of her mother. This woman secreted her daughter away and would not tell the father of her whereabouts, even as his daughter lay on her deathbed. It is sooo wrong in every way. I made a comment on a JW board about how wrong this was and was blasted for saying anything about it. I told them that, as a father, if my ex ever pulled anything of that nature, I'd hunt them down and see them in jail. I also proposed that this woman should be punished legally for her absconding with her daughter and denying the father of this girl his rights.
You would have thought that I'd put on a satan suit and sacraficed a goat on the front steps of a kingdom hall or something.
Make 'em pay...they are not above the law...no matter what they think.
