Here is Michael and Shawn's story:
Michael
left for Iraq in march of 2007. When he left, his ex-wife, Krystal left
him and took their son. Shawn with her. Since then she has kept in
hiding and refuses to let Michael know anything about Shawn. Michael
has tried repeatedly for the last three years to find Krystal. He has
hired private investigators, and lawyers to find ANYTHING on her or his
son. In 2009 Michael ended up having to file a default divorce from
krystal because he couldn't find her. FINALLY krystal came out of
hiding because she had to fight for custody. It came about that Krystal
had been with two other men in the time that she was missing and had
another child with her second boyfriend. Poor little Shawn has moved
over nine times in his short four years of life. Krystal is now in
Washington state with her second husband. Even after the court date
when a judge ordered her to give Michael all information on Shawn and
let Michael talk to Shawn daily, she still hides. Michael hardly ever
gets to talk to his son, and has no idea what his son is up to or how
is health is. Recently, we found out some information from Krystal's
ex-boyfriend that Shawn is in a bad situation. He is not in a mentally
safe home. Krystal has both bi-polar disorder and severe depression.
She has let Shawn call three different men daddy, which is very harmful
or the child's mental welfare. At times, she keeps both of her children
locked up in their rooms because she cannot "handle" the stress. The
child has horrible diet and is not taken care of nutritionally.
Michael
has spent countless hours and and money on trying to get his son. He
tried over and over again to get summers with Shawn, but Krystal
refused and said she would only grant one week a year. For Michael to
file for full custody in Washington, it will cost $4,000 dollars.
Michael is an excellent father and true hero. He served one tour over in Iraq, and when he got back home, he was alone. His wife left and him and took his son away from him. Once you take a son away from a father, he really has nothing else left to live for. Michael, and most of all, Shawn deserve better than this. Shawn deserves the right to be a happy, healthy kid. He deserves the right to know his father.
