On 1/8 I was home getting ready to take a nap and my sister and her boyfriend are home with their three week old baby as well. I hear him start crying and it goes on for a little bit. I heard his dad saying there is no reason for him to be crying when he is just laying on his back then I thought I heard something. I thought to myself there was no way I heard what I thought I did. He had slapped the baby. And I heard my sister say baby! He tries to justify it by saying you can see why I did it baby, there is no reason for him to be crying like that. I started recording from in my room. You can hear the baby crying again and him slap the baby. This occurs three or four times. It’s on the baby’s butt, but still, he is three weeks old, you don’t whip a baby that old. You can also hear in a video where he says no now stop it, your not getting any more food, and he tells the baby, you will learn in my voice when I’m mad or not. By the way, the baby had peed in his diaper and apparently was hungry so he had a reason to cry. Well my sister doesn’t do anything about this. We also had a confrontation on 12/15/17 where he chocked a 11 year dog for barking. The baby was only three days old at the time. My parents where not home but I told my dad when they got home. Automatically my dad goes to confront him. That’s my dads other child. It turns into a fight. My sisters boyfriend hit first. My sister who had just given birth got knocked onto the floor so he can get to my dad and he pushed my dad in the floor. My dad got knocked onto the floor and I was calling for my fiancé. He grabbed my sisters boyfriend and told him to let my dad go. I got knocked onto the floor at nine weeks pregnant in the middle of this trying to break it up. My dad goes in his room and grabs a bat( we know he shouldn’t have) and he hit my sisters boyfriend with it. Somehow he ended up with and trying to hit my dad. He threatened me with it, knowing I’m pregnant, saying you want to put your self in a mans shoes and my fiancé made him give me the bat. I called the police and he was made to leave. No charges where pressed because my dad and my sisters boyfriend both would have went to jail.

He came back Christmas Day. Terms being he had to get therapy and take his medicine he refused to take before (for bipolar and depression, his mom put him in a psychiatric hospital and I guess that’s what he was diagnosed with) I was not okay with him coming back. To my sister, he was not wrong. My dad was for hitting her boyfriend. My mom only let him back because he is the baby’s dad.

Well on 1/08/18 when my mom got off work she talked to my sister. She told her he had to go. She just kinda brushed it off. Twenty minutes pass and my mom ask my sister was her decision is, the baby or boyfriend. She said she wants both and my mom said her boyfriend couldn’t stay here. She chose him. My mom wrote this note that said they where signing over temporary custody of the baby to her and they signed it and they wanted her to sign theirs saying it was okay for her to leave with him. Well the next day comes and my mom and I go to cps to figure out what to do, then the police station, and family court. She filed for a ex parte.

She goes back to work around four, she gets off at five thirty but before she does the cops are calling saying she needs to come back to the house because she can go to jail for kidnapping. She gets there and my sister and her boyfriend are there and they tell my sister she has to say because is 17 (her boyfriend is 19) and the baby’s birth certificate hasn’t came in to state that he is the dad so he can’t leave with the baby. So the next morning we go to court. My mom was granted the ex parte. My sister storms out the lobby after the lady and my mom explained to my sister that she can’t leave with the baby or be alone with him. She was given supervised visitation and the dad got two hours every other Saturday at a designated place to meet. We tried to explain to my sister, she will still be around him, she lives in the same house. Well we spent about thirty to forty five minutes looking around town for her. When we do find her she is like I want nothing to do with y’all, y’all can keep. When we go to get out at the house she told my mom don’t forget your son. When my mom got off work she said like here is your son, I going to a friends house. When she got back she told my sister we need to get formula and she has to be there to sign for the wic voucher. She said not my son y’all figure it out, or something like that. My mom went outside then my sister went out there to meet her. I don’t know what was said but she is acting better about it. But still defends her boyfriend. Now her boyfriends my mom is trying get custody of the baby “to get him out the situation”. The same lady who disowned her son at eighteen. She didn’t want anything to do with him until she found out about the pregnancy. He was living over a hour away from her in college dorms with a friend that he didn’t attend and they told him he can’t stay there which is why he was living with us in the first place. My mom asked my sister was about his mom and the answer we where given was that she disowned him. Also the same lady who didn’t think the baby was for him and wanted the dna test done before the baby was even born which can be dangerous for the baby’s life from what I understand. The same lady who also didn’t show up when the baby was born. The trial date is set for March. Really don’t know how this is gonna turn out.
