Emergency divorce hearing because wife is WiccanCustody threatened over
religion
You know, this kind of story gets old.
A young girl taken by her Wiccan mother for the Halloween holiday will spend Christmas with her Catholic father, in a divorce and custody battle that came to a temporary truce Monday at Macomb County Circuit Court. Gregory Haines of Clinton Township, and his attorney claim he hadn't seen 17-month-old daughter Jessika Haines since his estranged wife, Jennifer Haines, took the girl away on or shortly before Halloween and moved to St. Clair County. After she left, officials said, the father allegedly learned more about Mrs. Haines' practice of Wicca and became concerned for the child. "He'd read some diary entries or hers, and she had made some statements about Halloween being an important day, not a holy day but a highly significant day, and he couldn't contact or locate his daughter after that," explained Richard Marcil, an attorney for Mr. Haines in the case. "We had contact today, however, and all that appears to have been overblown." Why should religion of all things have anything to do with custody? Would it happen if the mother were Buddhist? Jewish? Mormon? Hat tip to Wren's Nest.
