This is sooooo sad that this evil psychopath got arrested not even a year and a half ago for child endangerment buying drugs with his 3 year old daughter in the backseat buying drugs and the charges were dropped because the drugs were fake. Then he went on to taking his daughter hostage with the help of his family and not allowing his (then) wife to see her own daughter. This jerk deserves to be locked up for life!
