Na wa o! I'm speechless!
I really feel bad for this girl.
Where I read this same story, it's written that the girl is Just 15yrs old. Can u imagine that? How can a full grown man do that if he really did? if not could this just be a set up or something? and more over a friend to the girls mum called the girls mum up to tell her also about it. Don't she have relatives or something? i won't call this rape if really ernest did it becos two times abortion is really serious and it's not something one should joke with. Why did she not say something at first or even the second time????
Hmn, there's something wrong somewhere and if Ernest really do this kind think, i think he needs deliverance.
What is he looking for that he couldn't find in some other girls rather a 15yrs old girl?

Why will a mother leave her teenage daughter with a step dad? No wonder a friend of my sister in NY always sends her daughter to my sisters house when she is travelling whereas her stepdaddy is in the house.

Hmmm.....I have a lot of comments to make about this, but lets start with this one:
I understand that {some} men may not be as responsible as others, hence some of the conclusions some people are drawing here, however, what is wrong with leaving a child with a step father? There are some EXCELLENT step fathers out there who dont even deserve the "step" title. Let's not degrade men to a level where we're saying they cant be left with children because of X Y and Z.....moving on....
Happy moments, PRAISE God. Difficult moments, SEEK God. Quiet moments, WORSHIP God. Painful moments, TRUST God. Every moment, THANK God.
You bet, there are some excellent step fathers out there, and there is nothing wrong leaving a child with a respectable step dad or mom for that matter. However, people are strange and the devil is known to do his thing.... I have heard of these cases so many times with stepfathers...i will have to really, really trust the hubby for me to do that ojare. I do not think it is a matter of degrading men here per se...moreso of experience being your best teacher and learning from others mistakes

My sister, it is indeed sad, because there are a lot of horror stories out there. A lot. Then again, I personally know of many great stories, because as you indicated there are many great step-parents.
This is such a personal and subjective issue that only the people involved can determine when it is ok to leave a child with a step parent.

even if he doesn't have a wondering eye just to be on the safe side ...you do what you have to do . .......
To be frank my mum does the same with her house help when ever she's traveling with or without my dad she sends her to a friends house and it's not because she doesn't trust my dad but because we also have other men serving them. My siblings and I are all out of the house and so aside my mum and the little girl the house is full of grown men ...........You try not to leave goat and Yam together ...![]()

True talk! why she leave the girl there? don't she have relatives? ur ex husband for that matter oooo chei, i'm still asking what she was thinking b4 she left her daughter under the care of her ex husband. And if Ernest really did what he did, i don't think its to pay the woman back for what she did. At least a right thinking person ( that's if he really did it ) should have thought about the scandals. If he was to pay her back, he should have sent them out of the house than doing such thing.
All blame goes to the mum. I pitty the small girl.

@ highlighted. Not according to Section 47 of the Children Act 1989 and Section 11 of 2004 version of same Act. Unless your LA is working under different Acts which would be a bit of a surprise to me as all LAs should be working under the same Safeguarding Children policies. Look up your LSCB policies and see what I'm talking about.
In child abuse cases (section 47), the usual procedure and the first utmost priority is to secure the immediate safety of the child. Once the child is in a secure safe place and remains adequately protected, the perpetrator hears the allegations against them and are charged. Under the Sexual Offences Act 2003, the police have to apply to the courts in order to hold the perpetrator for more than 24 hours for further interview. The prayer (for me) always is that the perpetrator is convicted and goes to jail - for life. (with hard labour if I have my way and if am in Nigeria!)
Unfortunately, even alleged paedophiles have rights and proper legal procedures have to be followed in other to secure a conviction. If mistakes are made, the media will not let us rest and heads will roll.
