The mother in this case will be held indefinitely in jail because she does not force her daughter to visit her abusive father. Child Protective Services substantiated sexual abuse by the father against the girl and he has a long history of domestic violence. Fathers should and do have rights. Abusers should not.

“On November 12, Marinette County Circuit Court Judge David Miron sentenced a mother to 30 days in jail for her daughter’s repeated refusal to comply with court ordered visitation with her father. Loraine Tipton was immediately taken into custody following the contempt hearing.

During the hearing, Tipton presented evidence to support reasons why her 11 year old daughter should not be forced to proceed with visitation based on the actions of the father, Craig Hensberger. Tipton also testified that it was her daughter who refused to go, and that she was not withholding visitation from Hensberger”
