"A HEROIN-addicted sex offender has won custody of his young daughter because the girl's mother is considered an even more unsuitable parent.
Child protection campaigners yesterday lashed the Federal Magistrates' Court decision to leave the girl in such conditions as outrageous and "defying logic".
Granting custody of the girl, aged about 5, to the father, the court branded the mother dishonest and criticised her continuing drug use.
The court heard the mother, who has shoplifting and prostitution-related convictions and a history of drug use, left the labour ward to buy heroin soon after giving birth.
The father, who also has a string of convictions, was put on the sex offenders' list after being convicted of wilful and obscene exposure.
But, despite concerns he had taken drugs as recently as last December, and kept a knife and sword collection, the court last month ruled the girl should live with him. "
".....Her drug-screening tests repeatedly indicated the presence of benzodiazepines and opiates. She was even suspected of once taking drugs while in the court precinct arguing for custody."
You know your life is shit when you're fighting for the right to have custody of your daughter and lose out to a heroin addicted sex offender with a sword collection. How do you even lose this battle? Oh yeah, you have to be a kleptomaniac, prostitute, druggy who shows up high to court. That makes sense.
So what does it take to be a good parent? I guess you just have to take less drugs than the other parent.
