"I found out because I do routine background checks of potential hires in a field that involves work with children as part of my job and came across her significant other when I was reviewing one of the registries. Reeva has a 6-year-old daughter whom she shared 50/50 custody with my former brother-in-law, "Jason." I contacted Jason as soon as I found out. Jason was able to get full custody of my niece after an emergency hearing."
"I honestly don't know if it's worth wasting your breath to try and convince your mother otherwise. If she doesn't understand why having a young child around a registered sex offender is a bad idea, it's unlikely that you can say anything to change her mind. The judge clearly felt that it was in your niece's best interest that she be removed from the home where this man is now a regular guest,"
A routine background check revealed that a sister was dating a registered sex offender who frequented her home. The sister shares custody of a six-year-old daughter with her former husband. The child's father secured full custody after an emergency hearing and removed the child from the home. The reporting family member informed the father and faces hostility from the sister and strained relations with their mother, who defended the offender as having "served his time." Legal concern and a judge's custody decision prompted the intervention. Further accountability for the offender was emphasized despite completed prison time.
