Jodi,
I just noticed that the clip of the Montel Show. I, unfortunately, missed the original airing of the show. In light of your new posted information that there is going to be an appeal heard, I am at a total loss for words! I think that I must have sat for what seemed like an eternity, after viewing that clip......you know they say, a picture is worth a thousand words? Well, those tapes of that conversation where you hear the child's father repeating over and over, I might add, to get a knife and kill you?! I am now quite familiar with your story and your cause via your website, but listening to what you describe, in his (your child's father) own words, shook me to my bones!!!! This is a sick, sick person. I am concerned for you with this impending hearing. It only goes to show us all that there must be radical change in laws to protect! This takes much effort and vigilance. You are one person that has been able to move a mountain of a system in Florida in order to put your ex in jail. I hope that he remains there. It is time that a message be sent.....that no attorney, no amount of appeals, no amount of sickness should be continued to be perpetuated at the expense of a child's continued well being and at the expense of a life!
You are in my prayers this evening as always.
