The police report re visitation only makes me more sympathetic to Shelia. She probably was not thrilled when her husband became a baby daddy either shortly before or after her marriage. Her husband became wheelchair bound in 2001, he may not have felt able to visit with his son. Nothing prevented him from chatting with the child via telephone though. Maybe he did.
From the Chicago Sun Times:
"But after he cut his foot in the cruise ship pool, Mack developed a staph infection that later infected his bones, attorneys for von Wiese-Mack wrote in a court filing.
That left James Mack partially paralyzed and reliant on a wheel chair. At home he used a walker to get around.
“We never, like, went to the park together anymore,” Heather Mack said in testimony for her family’s wrongful death lawsuit. The family still went to the movies, but “it was really hard. We’d have to drop him off, then park, then come back and wheel him in,” she said.
In the years that followed, the highly regarded composer became sullen, lost interest in his music and turned down composition offers, both von Wiese-Mack and Heather Mack testified. Von Wiese-Mack said her husband was angered by his limited mobility."
The baby momma doesn't understand that visitation is an option, not a legal requirement for the non custodial parent. She's trying to make Shelia talk to her on the phone. Maybe Shelia's already told her twenty times that James is too sick. Shelia had no obligation to talk to LH. Shelia's got a difficult child and an elderly ill husband to care for - she may have just told LH "Not my problem. LH then shows up at the Mack house, child in tow, trying to force visitation. When Shelia refuses to answer the door to her husband's ex mistress, LH then files a police report? What did she think the police would do? Show up at the house and tell Shelia unless she entertained LH and her child she would be arrested?
