I couldn’t IMAGINE being separated from my child. I think I’d die. It’s so wrong for a parent, whether male or female, to use their children as pawns, except if that parent posses a danger to that child. If that’s the case, by all means, separate them from the destructive parent.
I feel so bad for her.

Oh, what a little doll baby she is! She’s soooo cute.

So she still slept in the same bed with the man who she was fighting over custody with? I would assume that they wouldn’t have been in a relationship if they needed to go to court over custody. That just seems odd…
I hope that this man has a legit reason for keeing that baby away from her mother and if not, I hope that the baby is returned to her.
Teri I agree with you 100%! It’s sad at all the cases of parent alienation going on today.

like she said, i think that there’s a lot more to this story than what we are hearing… i mean there must be? it does sound very confusing and also wouldn’t a judge have to have a legitimate reason 4 takin a child from their mother?

Beautiful baby, but I’m a little confused was Emily not granted visitation? Or was she granted visitation and prevented from seeing her? I’m confused but I hope she has a good lawyer, very sad situation for all parties.

I don’t think she has a good lawyer. If she did there would have been no way that she missed that court date. It seems odd to me that she would even listen to his lawyers and not hers…or maybe she doesn’t have one?

I advised this young lady to contact Gloria Allred on the other website.
I gave her all of the contact information that she would need.
I wish her all of the luck.

i heard he doesnt want to pay child support. he sits the bench anyway so maybe his money is tight. either way, if he is doing this for selfish reasons, he will get his and karma is a mean mean B*.

Something is so not right with this story. Scratching my head trying to figure out what’s been left out.

I agree………….

It’s more to the story than what she is telling. That man no matter how much money could keep her away from her daughter that long. Little girl is a cutie, hope everything gets straighten out for her sake.

I agree there is something more to this story that is not being told. Her story does not add up, first she said she hadn’t seen her daughter since she was 15 months, then she said that Josh left her with his homeboys so she took her and refused to return her, then she said she had supervised visits. I’m confused, because Emily said that her daughter was being treated like an orphan, but I saw a video piece that they did about Josh Powell back in February, it showed that he is married and his two kids, a infant daughter and two year old patience. He seemed like a really loving and caring dad in the video. It showed them having breakfast together as a family and then him dropping patience off at school before he went to practice and patience giving him a hug and kiss before he left. Until I saw this post I didn’t think that he had a baby mama. I thought both his kids were by his wife.

wow! wat a mess some ppl get themselves into… i jus hope the lil girl is ok an not missing her mother

Exactly! I watched her YT video and quite frankly, I’m not buying it. The story was all over the place.
Two things should have kept her from court: The end of the world and a war breaking out.
She’s looking mighty suspect to me.

tell it to the judge

The baby looks like she’s trying to get away in this picture.

Umm I agree..something is missing from her story.Babymomma madness. Girl get off youtube and call Al Sharpton.

The only way a judge I think would give a child to the Father is if the mother was not stable, on drugs, or just did not want the child. This makes no sense to me. And what kind of man does not let a child see her Mother if the Mother wants to.

Emily, tell the whole story or tell it at all. I wanna feel for you but something just doesn’t add up.

oops, i meant don’t tell it at all.

He obviously has a reason for keeping the girl from her mother. She’s probably a drug addict or alcoholic. Most men don’t willingly take on the care of a child for no good reason or out of spite. If she had a case, she’d be in court, not on Youtube.

he has to have a legitimate reason. and if not, she would be in court and gettin her baby back. if there is an order, she wouldve had that man in jail. so whatever to her. no one could keep me away from my kids.

If she did not show up in court then Josh received a default judgement. If she indeed has visitation then she can go to the police with the paperwork to pick up her daughter. If she has visitation and has not seen her child in over a year than that is her fault. There is more to thi story than she is telling.

There’s DEFINITELY got to be more to the story than this. No. 1, it seems as though she doesn’t have an attorney or money to retain one (but she does need to speak with Gloria Allred, maybe she’ll do pro bono), No. 2, it seems as though Josh and the baby are in a different state than she is but w/out any finances she can’t get to the state where they are for her supervised visitation, and last but not least, No. 3 WHAT the hamsandwich did she do for him to go to these extremes?!

Awl, that’s sad.

WOW, This is sooooooooo sad. How could you take a Child (Daughter) from her MOTHER. Come on now, the only one is suffering is that baby. This is Dirty. Please reunite this baby back with her mother she need BOTH parents. Don’t do this to the child and this mother, all she want is to spend time with her daughter

Karma is a Mutha. If he is doing this to avoid paying child support he will NOT prosper. He will continue to ride the BENCH

how the h***? he’s caring enough to take care of his kid so he wont pay child support? how silly does that sound?

This is very touching but there has to be a good reason why a judge granted custody to the father. My advise is to stop sitting around feeling sorry for yourself or looking for another sugar daddy on YouTube to rescue you. Nothing in life is free, everything has a price that you might not be able to pay. Get a job, get two jobs, save your money and hire a good lawyer. If it were me, and it was my child, I would spend every minute of everyday fighting for custody of my baby. I would be calling and emailing my elected officials and the judges. I would make sure that I attended every court date one hour early.
This is why we (females) should not live with our men unless they love us enough to marry us first. Get in in writting.

This video is as tasteless as the story she tells. I truly feel as though Emily needs counseling…and quick. It’s very evident that the judge has ruled in HIS favor because she’s an unfit mother. NO JUDGE will rule against that unless there is proof that the mother is not capable of raising a child. Shame on you for turning this story into something that’s NOT. You’ve been granted supervised visits by the court!! If you love this child, then why on earth haven’t you made any those visits???….haven’t even attempted to?? You’re full of excuses, and you’re ghetto. I heard you call this child on the phone and make rediculous request….like “sing the alphabet BACKWARDS baby”…”why aren’t you talking to me?”…. Are you kidding??? This girl (Emily) is clearly looking for some NBA $$$$. She could give a rats nest about “her daughter”. I know he and his wife are doing a remarkable job raising their children. I know that if she were raising this child (alone), she wouldn’t be age appropriate today.
There IS more to this story, and it’s a real shame that she has exploited this little girl, for her own personal gain. She doesn’t want her….she wants the MONEY. Get over it and move on in life….it’ll be best thing you do.

You are only saying what you’re saying because you are closely related to Josh’s wife. You are bias. Your opinion is slanted and it doesn’t count. Asking the baby to say the Alphabets backwards is a lie started by your clan. You, your sister and your whole family has serious baggage that you hide, so don’t go pointing fingers and bashing Emily. Your sister has serious issues and her own sordid past. Her marriage to Josh has fallen apart also – that isn’t a secret if you think it is.

I will pray for you young lady. Prayer is powerful!! Your first and only child. I say get agressive (Mad) if that works. If I were you I wouldn’t have my child either because I would have shot his ass, burned down his house and kicked his new wifes ass for not trying to help me from a womans point of view.

To know the dad and his wife is to know that they are one that has unfair ways of doing things. When you listen to his story and his wife’s it doesn’t add up. She doesn’t want Emily to be in her daughter’s life just as he doesn’t because they are just grimy like that. He is all over the place and most of the time his wife’s sitter is monitoring both the kids, so why not allow her birth mother to have custody of her. It’s funny that he was with her Emily and about to marry her but 6 months later he was married his wife. It’s seems to me that it’s something wrong with the two of them. And needless to say that their relationship is on the rocks too. Just because it LOOKS like they are the perfect parents on the outside doesn’t mean that everything is great. The way I look at it, they won’t be going far and they are reaping what they sowed because of what they did to Patience. Watch and see what you hear in the news later. Emily will get her daughter back and in the end, the daddy will suffer.

It’s funny how people look at things and because the heard of law they think they know how things work or how the have been brought up to think it works. Money.Money.Money. If you don’t have it they law takes it’s time getting around to you. And then other people can be heard by means of a laptop. they can’t help you but the Micky mouse opinions can hurt you. While others sit around with a mouth full of I knew its, I thought so’s and that’s whys. Powell has the NBA, team members and friends who say the right things. Yes Emily has made one mistake after another and the first one was getting involved with him.Take a woman child and she can be lead to do desperate things, any think to get her baby back. Hoping and praying something or someone will help. People, what would you do? I know I would…Or…and. Yeah! Right. She is the underdog. Try helping her. You don’t really know any thing about her life. Have you ever wanted to help some body. This country go’s to war take lives but won’t help this young trapped girl right here.
P.S. The baby is being kept away for all the rest her family. Why Josh. Not even a family visit. Here’s one you take a step and you might be suprised.

Pat: If you are a family member to Josh or closely related to the little Patience, you are just not informed of your rights. Yes, you are entitled to visitation, telephone contact and to remain a part of her life. Maybe you just don’t know your rights. CHECK WITH AN ATTORNEY, who practices family law. Emily has not lost her parental rights because of her incarceration – neither has her family, especially her parents and siblings. They now have even more rights to fight for visitation and contact, since Emily is not in the picture. There is such a thing as “grandparents” rights. They can petition and demand the rights to still be a part of Patience’s life,even more so since they no longer have Emily as a catalyst to bring Patience over for visiting. They just need to petition the courts for this right. They may also be entitled to prolonged visits like holidays and summer vacation with the little girl, under their rights as grandparents…trust me – this right exists. Josh and his wife are only getting away with what others are allowing. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

CORRECTION:
…that is, if you are a family member of Emily’s or related to little Patience.
Also, Patience should grow to know and be in the loving environment of her mother’s family.
