I am the “abusive father” referenced in Comment #: NY14133. Thankfully, Hon. Judge Blakeman saw straight through the lies and manipulations spewed by the mother—an illegal immigrant and professional scammer who’s made deception a lifestyle.

When my child was born, hospital staff handed the baby to me—not the mother—because she was so hostile, even in that moment. From the start, she made it clear she had no interest in being a parent. She repeatedly said she'd gladly give up custody if it meant avoiding child support. And she wasn’t joking.

Her behavior wasn’t just neglectful—it was dangerous. She caused my child to fall down two full flights of stairs, almost killing her. Eventually, she kicked my child out of the house at just 8 years old and left her stranded beside a major highway. That’s the kind of mother we're talking about.

And no, my child is not autistic. The so-called “developmental issues” were trauma responses—understandable, given the years of emotional and psychological abuse she endured. In my sole care, free from chaos, she has thrived. Eight straight semesters of High Honors. No contact, no support, no interest from the mother during that entire time.

She’s been given every opportunity to be involved—but she refuses. That kind of absence is louder than any excuse. Classic narcissist: obsessed with control and appearances, utterly incapable of showing love or accountability.

So yes, I’m a full-time, 24/7 caregiver—and proud of it. I’ve raised a happy, healthy, brilliant child on my own. We live in peace now, and for that, I thank God and Hon. Judge Blakeman for cutting through the nonsense and doing what was right.

Hon. Blakeman is a very harsh person. But maybe this is her beauty. In our 12-year-old custody case hon. Blakeman gave custody of the 13-year-old female child diagnosed with mild autism to the abusive father. He won! He won sleepless nights and 24-hour care of the child with temper tantrums. He won to be the helpless single father after going after the child's mother with false accusations for 12 years and ripping this child out of the mother's care. The only way to stop an abuser is to give him what he is asking for. Now he is a 24-hour babysitter. When people don't appreciate the help they have, all you need to do is step back and let them try it on their own. Thank you, Hon. Blakeman!
