Dad might lose kid, for being a good parent. Sues

So this guy's out with his kid and won't let him eat McDonalds'. Thought kid had been eating too much junk food. Kid throws tantrum, gets sent to bed without dinner. He then tells is Mom and she gets psychiatrist involved, who seriously thinks the dad might not be a fit parent because of this incident.

The dad is now suing the psychiatrist for defamation, but is now embroiled in a custody battle.

Did somebody say McDonald's? Yep, a 4-year-old New York City boy, but his dad David Schorr said nope. Now Schorr, embroiled in a child custody case, is suing a court-appointed psychiatrist for defamation for deeming him "wholly incapable of taking care of his son" after he refused to let his kid eat dinner at McDonald’s.

"You’d think it was sexual molestation," Schorr, an attorney-turned-consultant, tells the New York Post. "I am just floored by it."

The trouble began last week, the Post explained Thursday, when Schorr was scheduled to take his son to their usual neighborhood restaurant for their weekly Tuesday-night visit. But that night the child dug in his heels about wanting to go to McDonald's instead. Schorr, who felt the boy had been eating too much junk food lately, refused, saying he could eat anywhere else but the fast-food joint — or have no dinner at all.

"The child, stubborn as a mule, chose the 'no dinner' option," Schorr says in the suit, according to the Post. "It was just a standoff. I’m kicking myself mightily. I wish I had taken him to McDonald's, but you get nervous about rewarding bad behavior. I was concerned. I think it was a 1950s equivalent of sending your child to bed without dinner. That's maybe the worst thing you can say about it."
When the boy went home hungry to mom Bari Yunis Schorr, a vice president at Rue La La, he reported the incident and went to McDonald’s with her. Then she contacted the psychiatrist, Marilyn Schiller, setting the forensic investigation in motion. Schiller, according to the Associated Press, told a judge the incident "raises concerns about the viability" of the father's weekend visits with his son and suggested they be limited or eliminated entirely.
Now David Schorr wants Schiller to return the required $2,750 he paid for her input on the case. Meanwhile, the custody trial will resume in December.

Obviously there was probably already a gritty custody battle going on here and the mother is just using this as an excuse to punish the dad. The fact that this is actually going to trial though just blows my mind.

I presume this discussion isn't about some PC game, so I moved the thread to OT from PC gaming -Admin DrPizza

and this is where mothers have ot mucyh power. The courts are going to see "no dinner" and slam the dad.

the divorce courts are not even close to being fair. Though they are getting better.

and i'm sure there will be some fucking idiots that say the guy is wrong.



oh And why is this in PC gaming?

This games plot dosent sound all that interesting :colbert: Is it an RPG??
 
So many men are stupid when it comes to marriage. They ignore the early warning signs and still get married and blow their wad to get the prize kid. Only to find out the lady only wanted a Cinderella wedding and a dilettante dad hating kid she could use as a pawn to have her way. That boy is going to grow up to be a real "Prize"

Another lesson why Guys really need to do due diligence and avoid Marriage unless you are 10000% sure you chose the right person. ie: just because she can suck the chrome off a bumper != good wife. 🙂

Tell us how you really feel.
 
When will parents learn that kids are now in charge. Kids can claim any bruise on their body and say their dad or mom did it and have them sent right to jail. Courts have made it where kids now rule the family and can do whatever they want. Parents are just there to pay for it. There are too many 'do-gooders' associated with family court such as court appointed special advocates (CASA) and guardian ad litems (GAL) who advocate for the kids to get whatever they want and quickly condemn the parent(s). In this above case, dad was wrong for trying to parent. His attorney should have warned him prior to stop parenting once divorce card was played.

This is clearly the most disturbing part. That a professional psychiatrist would actually think the father was wrong for not taking the child to McDonald's.

Doesn't work that way in NC. I am a big advocate of proper parenting and discipline. Of course criminal court and civil custody court are completely different situations.

Yep. That idiot psychiatrist is obviously unfit to practice and should be fired immediately. What the heck is wrong with these fools?

I'm going to go with the psychiatrist didn't care and was just a paid flunkie of the mother. she was just paid to give a set diagnoses.

That actually sound worse than incompetence/stupidity. The psychiatrist should be striped of all professional credentials. What is the point of having experts testify in court if they are nothing more than paid shills?
 
Yeah, I'm going to say that this was just some vindictive move by the ex-wife to position for better divorce arrangements. With a kid and wife like that he's probably better off cutting ties and running. Yeesh.

I'd be on trial 2 or 3 nights a week if I was investigated for sending kids to bed with no dinner. Kids are stubborn, picky little shitheads with their own agendas. Once they decide what they want, that's it. Game over.

I doubt the kid had very much if anything to do with it. Odds are mom asked how his weekend went. asking for every second of ever hour. when the kid mentioned he went to bed without dinner. the mother was like aha! cha ching!

She then went to her attorney adn said the father is not feeding them dinner. the attorney went to find a doctor sympathetic to her cause. got the diagnoses they wanted.


The Judge should see through it though. This SHOULD (but won't) effect the mother more then the father. she is making a huge mess out of something that does not matter.
 
I hope he's not only suing for defamation. I hope he's filed a complaint with the licensing board, as well.
 
That's crazy. This guy should start a kickstarter or whatever to pay for his court bills. He might get a sizable stash like that bus lady.
