Why have you failed to mention Alison broke down at her doctors office stating she was being abused by her grandfather and mother since she was 9 yrs old

[DaoistMonkey]

Alison said her mother abused her and her father is now charged with kidnapping? The system is an utter failure!

[bladeseptim]

They cut the police clip where she said her mom was abusing her. The media is skewing the story!

[keropic]

This is insane! Alison clearly stated that she wanted to live with her dad! The system failed them again!!

[waltersalas]

The DAD was protecting his DAUGHTER from the DIABOLICAL MOTHER.
The justice system failed them, so he took matters into his own hands.THIS IS SUCH B.S. I'm sure the mother's rich family donates to the Monterey Park Police Department.

If dad is protecting his kids, you arrested the wrong person!

[leticiasanchez]

She’s 15 has a voice, wants to be with dad !!! What’s wrong with that

[abcfhdi]

So if you break into a house and steal $500 you don't go to jail for that but you go to jail trying to protect your child. Make it make sense. Soft on actual crime and punish the good guys.

[manuelesquivel]

That father did everything he could for his little girl....its obvious the girl does not want to be with the mother

[MystikAngel]

When a child says they are being abused by someone...LISTEN TO THEM ffs!
Poor girl.
Those police are disgusting! The father was protecting HIS daughter from an abusive mother!!!

[Teolulz]

he only resorted to these "crimes" because the disgraceful family court system has failed again.

[yellowr]

Dad should be set free. Mom was/is abusive to daughter. The system failed her and the Dad. Allison and her Dad had no choice. World is FU!

[techniguy]

We saw the video... Monterrey Park Police should get investigated themselves no care for the welfare of the girl.

[SamSung-wwrp]

Divorce makes people just literally insane. Stop thinking about only yourself. This child will be permanently traumatized.

[christopher]

I will not condemn the father, there is way too much to this story.

[uchmjej]

Again, I just want to say, police, you did a HORRIBLE job at speaking to Alison at the door. Yes, you had a court order, but your approach was all wrong and unacceptable! Your dept sent the wrong people to approach her.

[jamesjoung]

I know Jeffrey. He is one of the most caring and loving guy. This is a MAJOR MALFUNCTION of the system. It’s clearly evident in records that the mother and grandfather are abusive emotionally, physically, and sexually.

[rigobertolopezmateo]

They are going to send her to the mom who was abusing her.

[larissaexplainsitalll]

this why the kid mentioned MONEY!!!

THIS IS HORRIBLE WE NEED TO

[JL-znme]

Didn’t Allison claim she was abused by her mother? This needs to be looked into before the father, who may have been protecting his daughter, is thrown in jail!!! There is NO justice in the justice system! They handed this young girl back to a possible abuser??!!!
