Jo Ann (Jodie) Bain and Three Daughters #2 5/11/12

[klaasend]

Bio dad remarried and had 3 little girls.  He needs to focus on being their daddy and let Alexandria come to him when she's ready to meet him.  She needs to be with her sister and with the man who has been her daddy for these past 10? years.  She probably wouldn't even know him if he walked into the room.  Don't put that child through any more torment.  Can you imagine how terrified she'd be is she sees this headline on the news?  Another selfish man making life-changing decisions about her.  Just cruel, imo.

Yep...totally agree.

In all fairness, the girls have seen their bio dad.  It may have been some time ago but they did visit.  That said, I agree that the girls should stay together:

I stand corrected.  Thank you.

Community Sympathizes With Bain Girls on Mother’s Day
Posted on: 9:16 pm, May 13, 2012, by Daniel Hight, updated on: 10:49pm, May 13, 2012

(Whiteville, TN) – Emma Douglas says she knows the grief that comes with losing a loved one.

“I had a child to get killed and I know and I know what it’s all about,” said Douglas.  She said her daughter’s death still stings nine years later.

“[She] had a car accident near Bolivar,” said Douglas. “She was almost home.”

It’s that same loss that gives her sympathy for Alexandria and Kyliyah Bain who are now left without their mom on Mother’s Day.

Johnson has two other children besides Adriennne and Alexandria.  He even posted a picture on Facebook saying, "All 4 of these girls are mine."
 
Johnson also made comments on Facebook suggesting he plans to get an attorney to get his surviving daughter, Alexandria, back.
 
Johnson said in another Facebook message, "For everyone asking about Alex I don't know.  I have not seen nor talked to her.  I'm being told that it will be Sunday or Monday before I can."
 
We tried to reach Johnson to see if he's made contact with Alexandria, but he was not available for comment Sunday.
 
Johnson also posted a message saying, "Everyone watch what you put on Facebook because the news channels in Memphis are watching it."

If he has given up rights, voluntarily or involuntarily, I don't see this happening.  In the court's eyes he no longer exists -- the girls' birth certificates were changed to show GB as the biological father.  That is why judges ask the series of questions that they do so that the bio father knows that once rights are given up, it is irrevocable. 

And as others have said, who would put a child through something like this after what they have been through.

A bank fund has been set up to assist the Bain family.  You can make a donation to the "Bain/Johnson Family Fund" at any Merchants & Farmers Bank Branch in Tennessee.

So sad.   

You know they must have been wondering and asking as soon as they saw their daddy... where's momma...where's Adrienne?

Answer:  A biological parent who deeply regrets his/her decision of giving up his children for adoption in what he considered their best interest and then discovers that the decision was far from their best interest.

Considering Gary Bain's failure to make the required hard choices regarding all the red flags encompassing his longtime friend who several affirmed was obsessed with his daughters ... the red flags implying his daughters were at risk and in need of protection ... would one Mommy/Grandma Monkey on this forum afford Gary Bain the custody of her loved one?

The h--- of Alexandria being separating from Kyliyah and living in a safe environment will not compare to the h--- she and her sisters experienced as an outcome from Adam Mayes being allowed unlimited access to them over the years.

If I was in Mark Johnson's place ... I would move Heaven and Earth to reclaim my child.

Records Show Mayes Investigated for Child Abuse in 2010
Story Created: May 10, 2012 at 5:52 PM CDT
Story Updated: May 10, 2012 at 11:11 PM CDT
 
New information uncovered by 7 Eyewitness News about Adam Mayes and his history with the Bain family paints an even more disturbing picture of the man wanted for murder and kidnapping.

A report by the Madison County Sheriff's Department dated February 23, 2010 gives insight into how some say Mayes interacted with Kyliyah Bain, one of the two young girls he is accused of kidnapping after killing their older sister and mother almost two weeks ago.

Madison County deputies investigated Adam Mayes, 35, of Guntown, Miss., when he and his wife Teresa lived in a now abandoned home in the 3300-block of Riverside Drive.

In that report, deputies investigated a family member's claim that she walked into the bathroom and found Adam Mayes and then-7-year-old Kyliyah naked. He was shaving her legs. The family member also claimed Mayes kept a stash of child pornography in his bedroom.

If the girls didn't know about the deaths of their mom and sister.....I wonder when they knew they were kidnapped....not until those 3 days in the woods, possibly?  I almost hope this is the case, at least that would reduce the number of days living in fear.

Investigators Question Bain Sisters

(Whiteville, TN) Alexandria and Kyliyah Bain are not only victims, kidnapped by accused murderer Adam Mayes, they are also witnesses to the crime that kept them hidden in the woods for several days.

The FBI is still working with the children to find out if Adam Mayes acted alone to keep them captive in the woods.

Child Forensic investigators are meeting with Alexandria and Kyliyah Bain to piece together their case against Adam Mayes and his wife Teresa.

Investigators say they have received tips someone helped hide Mayes and the Bain sisters.

They’re interviewing the Bain girls to see if that’s true, but after their kidnapping the FBI is being very gentle with questioning.

Guntown Reacts After Manhunt for Murderer and Kidnapper is Over

Who gets reward for killer?

TUPELO, Miss. — Investigators are sifting through hundreds of tips they received to determine how to distribute $171,000 of reward money for leads that helped track down suspected murderer-kidnapper Adam Mayes and the girls he held captive in rural Mississippi.

The reward could be divided among several tipsters if authorities determine their information helped end the weeklong manhunt and led to the discovery of the two young girls Mayes had kidnapped, FBI spokesman Joel Siskovic said.

“We’re still deciding that and tying up loose ends,” Siskovic said. “It’s all being worked out."

That may be your answer, but it assuredly is not mine.

Do parents who gives up their rights to a child then goes on to make another family with another woman deserving of getting his children back ?IMO...this little girl will/does know that her bio gave her to another man to raise. If she is put into his 'new' family that he lives with, takes care of and is being a daddy to, how is Alexandria going to feel? Like the red haired step child! No disrespect to my beautiful red head friends...what if Mr. Johnson decides that he is going to walk out on this family? Where will Alexandria end up then? Probably in foster care!
If the bio dad truly loves his child he needs to leave her alone for the time being...visit with her more, bring her to his home on weekends, intergrate her into the family he now has. Also how is step mom going to feel about this child coming into her family?  Kyron comes to mind...Zhara comes to mind etc. not that this step mom would abuse but how do we know the resentment she may have towards this child taking daddy's attention away from her children with him..she is in a loving home right now from what we know.....

Not excusing the parents for their poor choices in allowing Adam to be so involved in their children's lives. Can't figure that one out for sure!
All just my thoughts.

From a child that was giving to a new family at the age of two...I can say that my biological Dad struggled with his decision for years...he even came back to get me when I was four, but realized that I was in a better environment.  He went on to have three other children after me.  He gave me to a Mom and Dad that ended up divorcing and Dad was out of my life...he still knew that I was in a better place.  He loved me enough to keep my life as normal and consistent as possible, no matter how much it hurt him.  This Dad should do the same.  Legally, Gary is her dad and that is how the state will recognize it...the courts considered the possible death of either parent and did not include a stipulation...there are no take backs when allowing a child to be adopted by another man...especially this many years later.
