We learn that this man punched his ex-girlfriend and threatens to kill her and her children and threatens suicide (a suicidal abuser is extremely dangerous).
A Gastonia man is accused of punching his ex-girlfriend in the back of the head and threatening to kill her and her two young children before committing suicide.
We learn that this man has joint custody:
Gilmore and the accuser have a joint custody arrangement.
We read his words, as if they were straight from a domestic violence textbook:
“…(I)f I can’t have you, nobody can,” Gilmore allegedly told her. “I’ll kill you, the kids, then myself.”
And then we read in print, right before our very eyes, a dirty little “secret” in family courts nationwide:
A Gaston County magistrate released him on a $5,000 unsecured bond and ordered him to have no contact with the accuser outside of their child custody agreement.
He continues to have child custody.
I sincerely hope this doesn’t have a textbook ending.
