My heart goes out to all children suffering from one or both parents locked up. They didn't ask for their mom and/or dad to do something that got them locked up. The kids are serving time with their parent(s) in jail, and it's worse when a boy has a father who's locked up, because studies show that a father who's not present in a boy's life has a much harder time in life. I feel mothers should allow their kids to see their dad behind bars, even if she doesn't want to. It's not about her, it's about the children. Sometimes, a mother has to do what's best for her child(ren), even if it makes her uncomfortable.
Kids need to see their dad even if he is locked up. It's a teaching moment that jail is where a kid could end up if he goes the wrong way.— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) March 1, 2016
I will never co-sign mothers not taking their kids to see their father in prison, even if the dad's actions got him locked up.— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) March 1, 2016
