    Default Can a Babysitter Keep a Child from One of Its Parents

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Florida

    Young couple together for 9 years but never married.They have a 6 year old son. The couple separates and goes different ways but are still working together for the care of the child.
    There has been no court involvement, no custody ruling. No history of negligence or abuse of any kind.
    The mother leaves the child with a baby sitter. Her new boyfriend. This new boyfriend was just released from prison and has a history
    of 20 arrests with 53 charges of drugs and theft of all kinds.
    The father not liking this goes to retrieves his son from this man and meets with physical resistance.
    Does this new boyfriend babysitter have the right to keep the child from the father?

    Thanks for any info I can get.

    Looks like Mom is the only person entitled to custody of the child. She gets to choose the sitter.

    I agree. However, I will also add that even if they were both entitled to custody its a pretty dumb move to go and snatch the child away from the babysitter that a parent has chosen, on that parent's time. Its always going to cause a scene and result in chaos. Its better to discuss it with the other parent and get their ok, and have the parent inform the babysitter to expect them.

    Yeah equal rights have become unequal. Its a sad world we live in these days that a piece of shit like this man has more rights than the child's father just because the mother says so. Seems no one wants to acknowledge there are bad mothers out there too.

    The physical resistance you ran into didn't happen to end up with you being charged where there are photos with no metadata, would it?

    No one is saying there aren't bad mothers out there. They are just saying that without a court order or being married when baby was born, mom legally is the only one who can call the shots.

    Did the father ever establish paternity/rights legally?

    Many child care places require that the person dropping the child off is also the person picking up the child UNLESS the dropping off parent has made prior arrangements and let the caregiver know to expect someone else. That is for the safety of the child. You really should have gone through the mother and discussed the issue first.

    Mom's taste in men seems to be consistent.

    ^^^^^ Thumbs up.


    OP what makes you think you're any better than her boyfriend? Based on your other posts you seem to have somewhat of a criminal history as well.
