Why the fuck is the government mandating Christian counseling?

The constitution makes about as much sense as the judges make it out to be...

Wow, that was an especially hard read. Nearly 20 yrs abuse from a person in a position of authority. Why would you force reunification to this man?!

Religious reunification "therapy" ordered by a judge. I had never heard of this reunification shit before but it's disgusting. Have a psychologist ask the kids if they want to see their dad. They're old enough for that kind of decision making even though it's hard.

Absolutely. Not having the children there of their own volition when the crime involved is of this magnitude... archaic. Especially in Colorado.

In some areas the system is clearly broken.

Is it just me or does he appear to be in a shooting range?

No no.. this is fine. It's not the raped daughter that is beiing forced into contact with dad.. it's only the impressionable young boys that will be forced into a non consensual relationship with a rapist father.
No way teaching young boys about how the government thinks non consensual relationships are OK and put them under the supervision of a rapist.. right.
I fear for these kids and wonder if they will be OK.
If they become violent sex offenders their lawyers will have a field day with this though.

Couldn't make it through the entire article. Just brutal. 😵💫

As horrific as this is, it was made worse by the title also being interpreted as him raping his daughters remains. Do editors even exist anymore?

That's not a misinterpretation. That is the accusation which is under criminal investigation and behind the reasoning he tried to drown one of his sons (now a legal adult and not in the custody issue).
