1. We are going to court in the morning to file an application for custody. There is no guarantee that it will happen but I feel it is necessary for little J's protection in case her mother decides to bail out of treatment. If we are successful in our application, and if she gets sober, she can apply to have custody returned to her and we will cooperate. This has great potential to create horrible drama, but also the most potential to keep the girl safe from harm.

2. Tonight her mother did not call to say goodnight. Little J didn't ask me why not.
