She's full of excuses. That baby is Blessed to have a loving father.

This man has been through soooo much. His son was a blessing in disguise.

She is very dishonest! "I am a pharmacist" , then she proceeds to tell a story about another child not in question. Thank goodness for this sweet father. I wish him the best.

The plaintiff is a GENTLE SOUL, and there are not many people in the world like him

Respect to this father, working 2 jobs. Man I salute you

Why did this lady have a whole conversation about a child that is not even the subject of this case?!?

She makes it really hard to be compassionate with her. If she has money for weed then she can support her child!

She wants to get better to be in her child's life but not even responding to them reaching out to provide her with help. She just doesn't want to be a mother.

She gave the baby to his father because of his physical disability...in my opinion!

As an mother who deals with depression. Plus I’m bipolar and have anti anxiety. I have never abandoned my child. She is making excuses

Never too late to be a good person. It's good to see a young brother doing what he has to do for his kids.

Major respect to this father. He’s a good man. May God bless him

Not at all surprised that she didn't accept the help. You could tell she's the kind of person who just wants to fall back on the excuses so she never has to take responsibility for her actions. Kudos to this brother for working hard and taking care of his child.

She was definitely being deceptive when referring to her other child knowing good and well judge was talking about their shared child.

sounds like she doesn't want any of the children she has, if that's the case, i don't understand why she doesn't control her fertility rather than continuing to have children she doesn't want and wont be there for🤔

She just don’t wanna take care of that child declining phone calls smh nasty

She told the same story for both her 12 & 3 yr old - ‘I saw the dad was stable financially so I made the decision for him to live with the him because I wasn’t stable’

Another prime example of be careful of who you lay down with

Sis is a whole deadbeat.

She says she has other issues she deals with and one of them is lying. She likes to omit information. She knows doggone well a pharmacy tech isn’t a pharmacist. Big difference! 👊🏽👊🏽

I knew she was full of it when she dropped him off and didn't come back!!💔

She's full of crap. She's abandoning babies and it has nothing to do with postpartum. She gave him that baby due to his disability and other selfish reasons.

JM was so nice to her. If the roles were reversed he would be calling him a deadbeat and bum. The lady is literally dodging getting served by child support court.

She probably just didn’t want the kid

She doesn’t want to be a mother just say it

Oftentimes abstinence is the best thing one can do to possibly avoid a situation like this.

He’s an extremely commendable man!!

She just doesn't want to be a mother.

As soon as he said he worked at burger King, I knew this man was about his business. Rose up to asst. Manager too. Best of luck to him and his son. He has a good spirit. Hopefully he gets therapy and rest for everything he has on his plate.

And this gentleman is what you call a FATHER.

This guy is what gives people who are struggling in the same situation hope. All due respect to him.

I wonder if that's really his son. He's a good guy.

He lived a tough life. I can relate. It's a cruel world but you have to keep moving forward.

She’s sad asf. I’m suffering from anxiety , post p depression & I’ve never thought of leaving my baby. She is using it as a crutch and excuse when there’s women out here that do their best everyday while suffering!

She saying she don’t have money yet she can buy drugs and alcohol. She knew that before she got pregnant the second time

Their child is blessed to have the father taking care of him. Much respect to the father.

She tried to be slick saying she was a Pharmacist at first…

The dad though YOU A REAL MAN BUD KEEP IT UP YOU DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER MY DUDE

She’s just making excuses. I suffered from post partum, and anxiety. I took my meds, and prayed my way through my dark moments. None of that matters, when you have an innocent life depending on you!!!

I knew she was capping about getting help smh

She's full of ISH

She doesn’t want to be a mother to her kids, ignoring assistance and not even visiting for a year… Yeah she doesn’t want to deal with the kid

The lady in the purple behind the defendant is NOT going for her bullshit😭😭🤣

She just didn't want the baby.

Alcohol makes depress worse Ma’am.

So she just pops out the baby and checks out the house of the father and says "that house looks nice. My kid would be better off here. Gotta go!". She still just wants to have fun. Nothing wrong with men being more involved in the support and care of their kid. She definitely chose the right men. With this kid here, these are deadbeat traits. Avoiding child support too. Smh. Best to the father here. Hopefully he keeps moving up corporate ladder.

Why did she start talking about the 12-year-old when it is not his child, and he has nothing to do with it. Plus, she tried to use the example of her family disowning her because she got pregnant and it was one of the reasons for her depression, but that was the first child not this second child. I know insurance is expensive, but so is alcohol and weed. I know post- partum depression is real, but she needs to grow-up. You are having one night stand and not protecting yourself. Creating babies and then not taking care of them.

She said she ran into him at a party a year later after abandonment of their child .. no pushback no telling her off about being a deadbeat horrible mom just oh alright.. boy reverse this he would've went on a 20min tangent about how he grew up in Detroit and men left women... He should've maxed out the emotional distress

After a 1 night stand he needs to get a DNA test, it might not even be his kid

He went through more than she did and he's still responsible, calm, and accountable. She needs to take a page out of his book. She never returned to the house, support court, or judge Mathis assistance because she lacks accountability and is actually a straight up liar.

A lady in my neighborhood went through this. She told them she wasn't stable to care for her baby at the time. Her mother had custody of her other 3 children. Cps took her baby once and she had to go to classes. She told them she wasn't able to care for her baby and she ended up hurting the baby and the baby died. She was dealing with mental illness. Their baby is where he needs to be. Safe in his daddy's arms. But she does need to pay.

She doesn’t need to have any more kids.

Notice he said “our” son and she said “my” son.

I'm not surprised she hasn't returned the phone calls. When he said "HIS" child was disabled, tht told me everything I needed to know. Also JM realized it too. It's best she just stay out the way. I pray tht he did a DNA test because whew!! People like her u can't trust😎 Koodos to the father💪🏼👏🏻💙

I had my baby and PPD hit me hard i felt like i would never connect with my baby but i did my absolute best and worked my hardest but i never gave up on my baby. He’s almost 2 and i love my baby more than anything in the world and beyond that. She’s just a deadbeat with too many excuses to not be better. She couldn’t MATCHED his effort

Deadbeat Mom 💔

With the 12 yr old child, she suffered from post- partum; currently, she's suffering from post-partum after birthing the 3 yr old child... seems like she lacks accountability and is incredibly self centered. Prayers for her children, they don't deserve this and I commend the plaintiff for his dedication to his son.

No No No. Im sorry but I'm not playing into that victim narrative with this girl. So she begins her case talking about her Other child that the case has nothing to do with, Two, she stated she sees the other child consistently, But when it comes to This child, she drops him off, never to return and doesn't see him nor supports him in anyway. Yall fall for That Post Partum excuse if yall want but I see through it. She doesn't want that child because he's disabled and would require more responsibility. That's why she set the father up to drop the baby off then abandoned him. If it were vice versa and she was bringing him to court for being a deadbeat, his depression, felon history, family history, mental history etc etc would not stop people from crucifying him for being a deadbeat. She's a deadbeat and she wrong to do that innocent child like that. And that Update at the end only confirms it even more. She didn't reach back out to the show for help because she doesn't need any nor want any. Smh.

Use protection or stop having sex! You can smoke trees and drink, but you need to stop having kids!! Salute to the father!!🤜🏽🤛🏽 My prayers for the Lil guy🙏🏽🙏🏽💙

God bless this man. She has a bunch of excuses. She dumped this kid on him and he needs a paternity test.

I know ppl have their problems, but I can’t see myself just leaving my children and not being apart of their lives. In my opinion she’s making excuses.

9:05 he shut the judge and her down

I wish the plaintiff all the success and blessings that can be given for him as father and pray that his son can improve on his disability and that it won't continue to be a hindrance from him progressing in life. Its sad and very appalling that the defendant did not accept the help from the Judge Mathis staff' that wanted to direct her to mental health resources that could help her be more involved in the child's life. As the plaintiff mentioned in the episode he stepped up and took ownership of his parental responsibilities as a father so what's stopping her as the mother of the child from doing the same. Obviously, she thinks the drugs are more important than the child. ⚖

Not a pharmacist 🤣

She intends on having post-partum depression for exactly 18 years. Soon as the child turns 18, she will be magically healed.

Are you serious right now?? She's so selfish!

I just had a mental break down and the only thing that kept me going was looking at my kids. They motivated me to find out where I went wrong and how to get back. I thank God for them.

Bless his heart. And his precious son. Protect them please Lord.

The mother was wrong for abandoning her son. I would sue for child support expenses and some of that child tax credit too.

JM let her off to easy..he should have went to judge judy.

This is one of the worst self entitled selfish excuses for an egg donor i’ve ever seen!! Kudos to this young man and I pray that he is blessed with a better job and assistance. I hope Judge Mathis can help him with SSI and medical benefits for his son; he’s entitled

She ain't want no help. FOH.

This makes me so angry!!!! When you have a child you get it together! I was hospitalized due to depression and I pushed and took care of my kids. That baby didn’t ask to be here. I was hemorrhaging in the hospital and still making sure my kids were okay. I’ve gotten 3 blood transfusions. Being a parent isn’t an OPTION!!!

That’s what you call a father

There's nothing wrong with her she just wants to run the street and not be responsible for her children

That last statement says it all.

Poor dad he seems so gentle and a great dad raising his child.

Instead of dragging this woman for the deadbeat she is let’s be glad she’s not in her kids life. She gave him away because she know she ain’t worth a dime.

mad respect to the dad for holding the child down . I hope the mom gets the help she needs.

God knew who he needed 🥰 Salute to this Dad 💪🏾💪🏾continue to Bless your child with love 💯💯

The plaintiff is an Amazing man. May GOD continue to Bless him and his child. I pray the mother gets all the help she needs to become a better parent.

She’s a liar.

I say kudos to her for leaving the child with the suitable parent. With that said, she needs to support the baby.

I give you mad respect brotha!!!

This makes me want to cry

She didn’t want the help so she was lying smh 🤦🏾‍♀️

She abandoned her second child because she knew he's disabled.This is a lesson for both men and women: you need to know the medical history of a person's family before having kid or kids with that person.

Some people are okay with being broken, because it gets them attention. This deadbeat mother is one of them to both of her children 😢 God bless this father and child on his medical treatments ❤

Wow, Judge Mathis must have a great team if they were able to locate her and child support wasn’t able to locate her.

I’m a bit confused about this woman saying she can’t get medical insurance,sorry but that’s a lie,because even welfare will provide medical insurance coverage for her and the child. She is a bum who just wants to get high and negate her responsibilities of taking care of her second child.#OBP Bluesman

When Nicole said that she drinks and smokes "trees" to treat post-partum depression I knew the show wasn't gonna hear back from her. Nicole probably gave them the wrong number. 😆

She trifling point blank period

What a great guy!! I wish you all the best my man, keep keepin' on, you are a fine example of a human being and parent.

She’s full of it ! If you actually wanted to help, you would’ve token the FREE help, to better yourself for you, and your children. Her behavior is extremely upsetting.

Wow. Shout out to all the fathers that take care of their children. Bless him. I hope she steps up and be a good mother and stop being full Of excuses.

Blessings for him for not letting his life effect his dignity ❤

Not to take her condition lightly....for how many times she used the word, "depression", she will be by the end of the show. She seems more comfortable using her condition as an excuse instead of a stepping stone towards getting treatment

The judge was wayyyyy too soft with her!!

No excuse, with the 2nd child. She doesn’t want to raise her children it’s been 13 years and still only sees the first chile once every 2 weeks

That little boy is lucky he has his father. What a blessing. ❤❤
