What an awful thing to do to your children. On Christmas, no less. And if you wanted to keep your kids away from their father, you did the exact opposite.

Everyone keeps talking like he was the father to her other four kids, he was the father to the 11 month old. Those other kids were by other men. He was given 50/50 custody of his child the 11 month old. She was so jealous of him seeing someone else that she didn't give a rats @ss about her other children.
