About the custody thing. I myself have been through a custody battle and know personally what a "living hell" it is. My ex was a dealer/user and I couldn't prove it. My child was exposed to this and it was very frustrating to prove. We went through years in this battle, and there were times that murdering him to end the suffering of me and my child and family ran through my mind. That being said, it only ran through my mind. I eventually got custody (than God!). So I know how emotional things can get and how unfair you can feel with the process.
There were a few things that you have to have for your child that are required by the state for you to get custody. Both parents homes require a seperate bedroom for the child, good home environment, well balanced meals, two parents is better, background checks on everyone involved, good job, medical insurance for the child, etc, etc. Also state will check out the physiactiric background of the parents. Interview the child, etc.
IMO this may have been a reason for the "New" home for Dana, HMR, and Crjr. Newer, bigger, nicer, home with no "grows" around. Maybe the Rhoden's or Wagner's threatened to go to court over the child's custody?
I didn't know either family, but from what I've read the Rhoden's were a very proud and family based family. They wouldn't have given up one of their own without a fight, and they were fighter's. It seems the Wagner's had more money and influence than the Rhoden's. So why would the Wagner's request HMR to just sign our her rights to SR? And why in the world, would the Wagner's think she would? Sounds like each family maybe had something "on" each other that would keep them going to court and settling this legally. I could see CRsr becoming furious over this! As well as the rest of his family.
Another thing I thought of is the reason there was no father listed for KyR. Maybe HMR didn't want to go through something like this again in the future. No father listed without dna proof and the only parent is HMR.
Just some of my thoughts.
