Gee this is a real surprise, considering Mauldin's history:
"Mauldin’s criminal background includes an arrest in October on a charge of third-degree battery and one last month on a charge of violation of a protective order.
Both charges come from Arkansas, where Mauldin resides. In both cases, the listed victim was the woman who was both his wife and the infant’s mother, who shared the Galveston hotel room with Mauldin."
And this gem is from his mother in law:
"In interviews with KHOU, Mauldin’s mother-in-law, the infant’s grandmother, said she was shocked and stunned.
“I’ve cried every day, all day, all night,” she said. “I’ve been up all night. I just can’t believe that this happened. I’ve seen it all on TV. I’ve read it all in the papers. "
This is a man who had a record of assault and protective orders against her daughter. Yet her dumbass daughter was still in a hotel room with this loser. Why is this behavior hard to believe from a violent man? Why wasn't this dumbass Moo bleating when this loser was ABUSING HER DAUGHTER? Oh, I forget, her daughter isn't a cuddly widdle baybee anymore so she's not important.
I'm hoping the baybee recovers and he loses his parental rights. It's a shame it had to come to this. It's also a shame that even if you beat or stalk your wife or partner, you still get to see your kid because of "faaaaaaaather's or parental rights." I say, if you are violent toward your partner, you should lose any contact with your kid, period. Because you are going to beat your kid sooner or later.
