“That would not be something they’re going to investigate,” said Sgt. Marisa Barnes. “It’s a ‘he-said, she-said’ so there’s no way to investigate. It would be nothing more than a civil matter.“

What is this. Paternity testing is not a matter of "he said, she said." It's a matter of does the test result show he is the father of the child or not.

NOT RELEVANT

We all know false paternity is a problem, it still doesn't excuse violence. Let's not turn this tragedy into something it's not. Because even if it's true, he still should not have turned a gun on her, or himself.

The acts of:

Stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars
Stealing thousands of hours of time investment
Destroying a parent-child relationship
Deceiving an innocent man
Depriving the child of the relationship with their natural father
Demolishing the emotional world and family structure of male identity

Are actions that can be met with violence by men that learn of this horrible deception.

A thief breaking into your home attempting to steal from you can be met by a gun. How is that we can expect a betrayal that is far worse not to inject Napalm into a situation?

I do not advocate violent responses to the catastrophic deception of false paternity, but I can understand exactly why it happens.

Honestly, this is an issue of mental unstability. I doubt think paternity testing really had much to do with it, other than the final thing that set him off.

And this is a mensrights issue how?

Belcher’s mom has temporary custody of the baby, but a permanent guardian has not been named.

The mother of the murderer has the baby? Are you fucking kidding me?
