Whenever there is no crisis in my family, there is always one nearby, right? So here is our latest.
A family that we are friends with, neighbors actually whose daughter is our only babysitter that I trust with all four children, had an arrest of the father this weekend - who is a Davie cop and was arrested by his OWN DEPARTMENT!!!!
He was arrested for sexual battery on a family member - inappropriate touching.
When I first heard it, I didn't believe it at all. In their family, I've always said that the mother, although she has a heart of gold, is a space-cadet. The father is VERY level-headed and full of integrity. And we LOVE the teenage daughter (and the rest of the kids ages 9,7, and 4). They are one of the most normal families I know.
I would completely trust any of my children with any of them.
But, it turns out that the accusor is the older daughter. Bryan and I know this kids WELL. She is awesome and certainly not one to tell a false story or exaggerate one. Coming from her - it is more believable.
Trying to keep some distance, Bryan agreed to allow the mother and daughter to park their cars in my driveway. The press has been hounding them. Currently, they have a 24hour police protection that follows them wherever they go.
NO clue how this will turn out. Their family is in total turmoil. Selfishly, I am aware that I just lost my babysitter. She is needed more than ever by her mother and now I question Bryan's ability to be alone with her in a room... walk her to her car, etc.
The whole thing is just messed up.
