She’s concerned he have a new woman around their child but she left him in a car to gamble. Girl please 😩

"concerned" about who is around her son but leaves him in a car unattended to gamble. Strps. Girl go on.

How dare he leave the child with his mother when he could have just left him in the car at the casino like she did

This is exactly why you should be very careful who you have kids with. Don’t ignore red flags 🚩

She committed child endangerment…foolishly leaving a baby in parking lot smh. The audacity to imply he is a bad father for leaving the child with the grandmother is astonishing.

I’m glad the judge laid into her. There are just as many unfit mothers as there are unfit fathers. Her crocodile tears didn’t me the judge note me tbh.

Exactly what happens when you carelessly make babies. My heart goes out to the children who are born in these messes. 😢

Crying about who's around the kid but she leaves him alone in car..wow

It's a lifetime of pain if you have children by the wrong person.

There would be no pass given if the dad left the child in the car. Stop trying to give this woman an excuse for her behavior.

The only victim in this case is their child... 😢😢😢

His lady friend was supposed to leave the house because she was coming to get the kid, NO she can be mature , pick her kid up and take her ass home.

I'm independent because I pay bills and take care of myself... Thank you for being an adult

A mother should never leave her child unattended - especially to go to a casino. Shame on her. I hope she gets help with a therapist and attends parenting classes. I feel so sorry for their child - that poor kid. God help them all.

Most women love holding a man accountable, but will deflect, dodge and reverse it when she commits same offense. Justify even. And this is...

Dear Black People, Holding another Black person accountable isn't a form of hate, jealousy, putting on blast, wrongdoing, etc. It's actually a form of love to help one self correct and mature. We can't get better, as a people, if we can never hold each other accountable. Thanks, A black person

Once the relationship ends you cannot control who the other parent romantically brings around their child.

If you're going to be the parent with full custody, stop doing petty shit to the other parent.

She said when I got there I was calm but, on the inside I was upset. Hello..... She already knew that he was going on a date. He didnt set her up. She just was still in love.

Thank you Judge Mathis! You said what NEEDED to be said FOR that man! We as a society haven’t recognized and uplifted strong Fathers enough. Especially in these type of situations when a selfish woman attempts to demonize the man instead of supporting him.

Why would he specifically call her over to get her son when theirs another woman there.I believe he set her up for a recorded reaction to use in court. She wrong but he wrong too with the petty ah ha I'm in control type of behavior. She needs alot of help,counseling support and so on before getting the child back or joint custody for the child's safety.

I’m confused why he’s denying visitation when it’s supervised. If the child stays with the grandmother often, let her monitor them and it’ll be in a comfortable environment for the child. If she’s that unpredictable (which sounds very possible), get the law-appointed person to do it.

She has all excuses and zero accountability. When the man doesn’t want you just move and be the best mother you can. Sheesh, it’s not that hard.

She is a mess and is lacking maternal instincts however... I don't think he's completely innocent in this debacle

She was trying her hardest to squeeze the tears out. 😩

I can't even wrap my brain around why a non impaired, mentally stable person, could leave their child in a car unsupervised... To gamble at that. So something is off with her. Yet, I find it crazy how men can do the same thing they accuse women of i.e. Withholding the child and bringing strange women in the home around their child etc 😏

Great decision to send them to the local child support courts.

Everyone who's on the defendant's side must not have any kids! This woman is completely out of pocket for leaving that child in the car!

She still has not worked through how wrong it was to leave her child in that car, she couldnt even explain why after all that time

How he get the email? 😂

whoo i was nervous for the child. I am so glad he is the father!!!

some people don't believe in condoms 😑

I don’t blame him for not having the child around her. She’s mentally unstable and he’s being nice not putting her on child support

This is why you give yourself time to get to know someone. They met, and she was knocked up within a month's time 🤦🏾‍♀️

She needs to move on he doesn't want her

wait... how did he "come across" HER emails a couple months ago if they're not together?!?! why are you still checking her stuff? 😩🧐 EDIT: Yes, what she did was horrible - the judge chewed her out as he should but it's obvious he's still dealing with her if he still has access to her emails.

Folks betta stop laying up wit strangers RAW!! Don't even know each other!!

She’s salty and still wants him. Oooooh the burn to see another woman with your baby and the daddy…while still young…😩🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This version of JM is the 1 that makes the show enjoyable. He acted like a real judge, taught law, asked great probing questions of both parties. He didn't let his *opinion* of the litigants *influence or bias his judgment.* It's an unfortunate case because they are both young, attractive & seemingly intelligent. They both have parental support & hopefully can find their way back to a union w/effective mentoring or at least a way to effectively co-parent. So tragic, for their son.

She's an endangerment to that child. Im not glossing over the fact she left the child alone in a car while she gambled. He is entitled to move on with his life. However, she should be allowed to see her son.

He stopped her from seeing his kid? That’s crazy. He can supervise her or get a cop or parent involves. A child should be around both parents unless one is clearly abusive.

Despite her faults, kids need their mothers in their lives as well. Lord knows what she was going through. Pray they can become civil for the sake of their child

Il be back when the comments get spicy... 😄

I remember hearing about her leaving the child on the news….hope she gets help for the sake of their child

🌷I'm sooo "Happy" for him to know that's his son, we need more father's to step up to the plate like him and my son.#AWESOME FATHER'S!! 🌺🌹🥀

Decided to move on and find a replacement. Not help the mother of his kids get the help she clearly needed. That recording put him in bad light, for me at least. I agree he did it to trigger her. But glad he’s getting the full experience of being a parent. Childcare is no joke. God bless the child.

He definitely set her up

She's a piece of work.

It’s illegal to record someone in Maryland without them knowing. She should press charges for that. She’s foul for what she did but something about him seems off.

Smh made an unstable woman a mother. Folks please VET these people thoroughly before you sleep with them unprotected. She wasn't stable when she met him and now is even more unstable.

Best Wishes to the Father and Happy Life to the child!!! As for the defendant...either get help or stay away!

He’s a creep and sneaky. He knows she cant control her emotions

I just feel she needs help and guidance instead of being totally dismissed like judge Mathis dismissed her I grew up in a foster care system my mother never came to visit me but once left me … at least she’s trying to fight fuck it she might have a gambling problem that’s the same as a drug addiction it’s a mental disorder she might just need help she looks like she needs help and of “😮course he sounded calm when he was the one recording the episode of course …he’s very manipulative and I bet she’s right I bet he just takes the child to his parents who are probably taking care of his child she just needs help and judge Mathis could be very cruel and dismissive but if she was a crackhead he’d have all this help for her “ are you willing to get help?” “you want some help?” he would say “I have staff on here and we can put you in a program are you willing to have help ?” …he offered her no help at all and And looked at her up and down and dismissed her on national television like she was garbage and that was help I’m glad his show was canceled he need to go sit down somewhere he’s out of touch with the world today !!!!🤬

The main question is will she learn from this? looking at her face when JM pour into her...something tells me up until that moment she had never taken accountability. She had one of those oh shiiiit facial expressions where something finally hits you. Its moments like this where you are force to look in the mirror and finally accept the BS you bring upon yourself...and do something about it. Eventhough she has made some really bad choices she can redeem herself but she gotta do the work.

I wouldnt leave a 🐠 with her..parenting classes or not..she was more passionate about him having a girl around her son than leaving him on the car...so if he is playing games idc something could have happened to the child..he know he gave her a reson to leave on that ambulance she done came over on some bs..she wanted to say he acts like he do so much when his mom helps and jm shut it down

I pray she gets the support she needs to coparent. This Father is not so great for several reasons. Any father who does not understand the importance of mom being in his son’s life, needs therapy.

Aww you can get it together buttercup, it’s never to late keep growing so you can be a better person and mom ❤

She was not on the verge of violence, she was sad and jealous. The fact that she was negligent is almost making everything else she says null and void. This is just sad and toxic on several levels.

14:48 she wasn’t diminishing anything. That man kept that baby from her out of spite and she’s stating he simply had support she didn’t; his mom. As a mom I want her to do better by her kid as a daughter I know sometimes we don’t have the best examples of mothers to follow after. She says nothing about a mom but mentioned having a dad helping her. That stood out to me. I hope she was able to get at least joint custody and the help and emotional support she needs to do right by her child. My heart goes out to her. I know Judge Lynn would have saw this case diff. I never compare my two fav judges but this time Linda should have been in audience to guide him.

deadbeat moms exist too y’all just don’t wanna call your friends out for it .

She deserves to see her son. AT THE LEAST

She needs to grow up and be a mother, but he also needs to grow up. I think he invited her over to get the baby because he knew she would get upset when she saw the other woman.

The nerve and audacity of that woman….I’m glad judge Mathis read her ass and ain’t fall for those crocodile tears Definitely sounds like she uses the baby as a pawn…you leave your child in a car unattended and want to feel bad because the dad has full custody and wants to control who the dad chooses to date as a full time single dad…lady take several seats

She got a lot of nerve 🙄

Glad the case turned out in plaintiffs favors ! It’s his child .

I don’t think the Judge should have dug into her like that. she was remorseful and she served her time for the mistake. he’s being vindictive like many bitter and single parents get. i wish her the best of luck

She’s Trifling how do you leave your kid in the car as you Gamble smh 🤦🏾‍♀️

so because she wasn’t in a good state and had no money she decided to go to the national harbor and blow her money at the MGM. i see that PG County education shining through.

It’s funny how no women are calling her a deadbeat. Let it be a black man and the sisterhood would be calling him out of his name

If she has supervised visits, that should be honored. She needs some mental health support, and he should grow up.

I believe her. He set her up. He’s like a bitter baby momma and she’s reckless. Her child is the last thing on her mind. Both need to grow up. Every child needs both of their parents. Mother & father. Good parents knows that. Both of them need to grow up. I know it when I see it.

He had to rely on his mom to help him raise his son. He still needs the same things a single mom needs, baby sitter, family, friends help to stand in the gap that she left.

This might be the first time that I believe both sides 😂💀I do feel bad for the child tho.

I believe she was in a very bad place at the time she left her baby. She probably thought that the baby would be okay. She DID pay for her mistake with the arrest and the awarding of full custody. Okay having said that. The father sure did set her up. It was his way of retaliating after she won split custody of her son. He invited her over and was pushed to pretty much begging to be heard. I don't know how the judge heard screaming and yelling in that audio. He coincidentally happened to record himself telling her to leave after he called her over there to watch their son while he went out on a date. I believe her when she said he choked her. The judge overreacted condemning her when she had a right to point out the father's negligence about their son but the judge stopped her. Why? Men do that silly move all of the time. They want the upper hand and so they torment the mother withholding visitation to punish her for winning split custody. He planned that piece of audio evidence just so he could play it in court. HE SET HER UP! I believe she is in a better place now and deserves to be in her son's life. She wasn't on drugs and she could have received counseling since. Single mothers are often pushed to the edge when she has no one to help them. This is a need in our society. It could be a non-profit organization that helps relieve mothers giving them respite from day-to-day challenges.

If a man left there child in a car to go gambling at the casino & then on top of that stop paying child support because the woman won’t let him see his child because clearly he’s a unfit parent so since he can’t see the kid why pay child support?🤷🏾‍♂️ we all know the internet would destroy that man and rightfully so but if u read these comments it shows accountability is only suppose to be upheld by man 🧐🤦🏾‍♂️

She should never get her son back

In our communities, dudes get out of jail and get more love than a dude who graduates college. That gotta change if we want to move forward in any kind of way

She was more worried about who he is dating than having some time with her child…that was the start to getting joint custody. She does need help and I hope she gets it🙏🏾

She could’ve been going through postpartum. That’s what it sounds like the guy sounds like a narcissist, and she sounds like a very young naïve lady who is very emotional and mentally unstable, but it doesn’t make him innocent.

Mom has her faults but just like we forgive and cut slack for dads that mess up we need to extend that same grace to moms , also he was messy for hsving the other woman there knowing she was coming

Stuck ya' dick in crazy unprotected and now attached to her for life. That's on him. A month after seeing her??? She wasn't on birth control which is wild. With that being said, I'm not a fan withholding the child when mother's do it and father's. I suspect she regrets her mistake and is trying to improve as a parent. Allowing her to see the kid is necessary for both of them. Hopefully they can work something out for the kids sake.

It sounds like she was dealing with Postpartum. It can last for years. I hope she’s in a better place because the boy is nearly a teenager ❤

He's bad father because he takes the child to his mom's house to visit? Lady, you left your 3 year old in a car unattended to go gambling...

Wait what....to gamble tho

Deadbeat Moms ! Nobody wanna talk about that. I love how people tell single mothers… “Kudos to you, doing it all alone.” But when they hear it’s a single Father it’s… “Oh them poor babies” Uhhhh. I’m doing it alone too!

Meet in a DC night club..well thank God the plaintiff didn't end up being a Richmond Phillips

She made a terrible choice by leaving her son in the car. However, I didn’t hear any further concerns about her behavior, that may be triggering. She should be given an opportunity to be a better mom. He definitely plays in her face, and has the advantage based on the choice she made, but it shouldn’t be used in a malicious manner.

She should be in prison leaving her baby in a car to gamble..

The plantiff is not 100% innocent. Why even call your ex over while you have company?! It's giving troll vibes, and given their circumstances, I would've just dropped my son off to her. She, however, leaves her 3 year old in a car alone in a parking lot surrounded by strangers coming and going but had a problem with the company her ex is keeping while he's with the child?! She is a broken woman for reasons we don't fully know, and she need to seek help like yesterday😬

Deadbeat Mom!

1. Who cares a woman was in the home if you barely get to see your son to begin with? Girl, get your child and go!!! You knew he was going on a date! What does it matter that someone was over there already?! 2. Shame on you all for defending her negligent behavior! Children have died countless times after being left in the car! That baby could have lost his life all because she wanted to GAMBLE!

I know Doyle be thinking 💭 ‘this gone be a good one’ 😂😂

Very sad, many times men will seek out the crazy and unstable…it makes them feel superior. He should be sad that his son’s mother is depressed, mentally unstable and is in need of help. The only person who will suffer is the son. The son will grow to resent the Dad for allowing him to encourage and foster a healthy relationship. Too common. #brokenfamily #destruction

She’s made some poor mistakes as a mother and he clearly triggers her on purpose. That recording was manipulative and a set up

She was holding back tears at the end, she felt so stupid, you can tell.

Dear black men, let’s stick together, defy the odds, accept our faults, grow, take care of our kids, help raise our nieces, nephews, and cousins if necessary, own property, and break generational curses #Gm 🏁💙

So, The bih is sensitive about his son being around another woman.. but HAD NO FEELINGS ABOUT LEAVING HER 3 YR OLD SON IN HER CAR ALONE WHILE SHE WENT TO PLAY INTO THE CASINO.. SHE SHOULD'VE GOTTEN ATLEAST 1 TO 5 YRS.. CUZ HELL NO!!@.

Left her baby in the car while she went to gamble , you can handle custody she needs therapy first .

People should learn that sometimes less is more. Don't offer up no more than what's being asked of you. She embarrassed herself in attempt to embarrass the father lol.

Judge Matis is messy 🤣🤣🤣
