How does one do a "follow-up "

I am curious as to how one would , if subscribed to a thread, have a follow up in time if there were no postings.
Clear as mud right?
For example I would like to check this thread in a couple of weeks - but if my user CP does not indicate someone made a posting, and I forgot about this thread, is there a way I could get a reminder?
Hopefully that explains my problem a little better--and I'm sure there is a real simple thing that I am overlooking.
Mr. Duh?

Bookmark it. I am pretty sure it will either be closed or deleted in 2 weeks.

If there's no new posts the thread won't come up when you hit the " new posts" icon at the top of the page.

Just a little curious why you want to look at it if there's no new posts.

all too often first time posters come to us-put us thru the mill for info and nary a thank you. Very curious as to how this one will turn out--and would be happy to find out that I am wrong-that this woman is correct- and that she did her job as a mother- and all is well. On the other hand if we hear NADA in 2-3 weeks I am going back to my grumpy, cynical self.

I knew it would be something as simple as that.
Done.

Personally I think the OP is just a drama queen looking for attention!
If any child of my aquaintance was being molested and I was certain of it (whether it was my child or not) the child would immediately be removed to a 'safe' environment, the offender would be in hospital or buried and I'd deal with the authorities later.
What on earth has happened to maternal instinct??? Is it extinct??

 

[curlyq]

I have to agree with MommC on this one. Why is this women wasting her time asking for advice online when she should of been on the first plane to get her daughter. I myself would'nt sleep knowing my child was being harmed in anyway. I hope for this little girls sake that someone will protect her from this monster called her 'father'.

I am trying to leave tomorrow. I will go with a lawyer from Puerto Plata to the fiscal at the court for minors and file the complaint on Monday morning. ...

She should have gotten down there and set her plan in motion as she mentioned for Monday.
I'd like to think we are all asking that good luck is with her and that by now she is with her daughter, and far away from the predator.
Letting us know how it turns out is probably the last thing she needs to think about at this time.

Anybody a rope?

... this monster called her 'father'.

It gives me the creeps to see how people almost call for the hangman simply on reading somebody's post.

Best to err on the side of caution

On the other hand if we hear NADA in 2-3 weeks I am going back to my grumpy, cynical self.

Let's hope she is taking the right actions to get her child to safety. If she's a charlatan, she didn't gain anything .... many good suggestions here if someone is faced with a similar situation - you know, the glass is half full ....

Shoot first then ask questions to justify your actions ....

 

[johne]

Not exactly true

Let's hope she is taking the right actions to get her child to safety. If she's a charlatan, she didn't gain anything .... many good suggestions here if someone is faced with a similar situation - you know, the glass is half full ....

that she gains nothing. My thoughts throughout the time was perhaps she is the guilty one. Maybe she had no rights to the child. Here we are advising her to go steal the child-prejudging the husband's guilt. Remember her fingers were doing all the talking. I just couldn't see that 2+2 equaled 4 there were a lot of holes in her manner and story.
As I said before perhaps in time "we will know the rest of the story".

Wao

Wao, I am sorry you are getting this kind of a response. (I have not read all the pages of this thread... first few were enough).

I don't know what kind of a relationship you still have or not with your daughter's father but if... you are still on speaking terms propose a "family" trip to Canada and get her a Canadian passport Or if he will let you have a visit or "day out" take her and gun it to Santo Domingo... you say that she has Canadian nationality, if you have papers to prove it, you may be able to get home without a passport at all.

If this issue has already exploded and you have no ties at all. By all means DO call the cops. The authorities in the DR as far as I know do, very much take abuse seriously and not because you are a foreigner will you be taken less seriously, in some cases you can get better treatment, get to the DR, contact CONANI http://www.conani.gov.do/ they may be able to recommend a course of action, doctor, lawyer whatever, go to the police, go to the consulate, get someone to beat him for a couple thousand pesos if need be... but GET DOWN THERE. Your daughter needs you, that is quite clear and you will never do a better job of it from Canada, you have to be in the same country for any of your efforts to matter.

 

[tiguerita]

If it's not a problem to take to Canada...

We obtained her citizenship from the embassy in santo domingo while we were together living in the DR. It is not a problem for me to get her here, the problem is what good will I be to her if I am arrested and in jail for "kidnapping" her against the court order he has obtained (illegally albeit but he still has it)

The fastest and most logical way for me to deal with this is to obtain (somehow, legally or not) the same kind of order he has, temporary custody from a DR court. I would be more than willing to have him come here and have our case heard before the Canadian court. If I just take her and try to have it dealt with here, he will have charged and she will be sent back to him. How traumatic do you think that will be for her? Thinking in one moment she if safe here with me to be ripped away and sent back to the molestor. I think that would be the final straw for her. All of this was told to me by a Canadian lawyer who said, you need an order from there, then you can bring here without being charged and fight in the Canadian court. As disgusting as he is, apparantly he has bought himself some rights, through this Domincan ordered he obtained.

If you can get her to Canada, you can get Canadian custody of her by default. Your lawyer will send him an advisory to appear in court and when he doesn't bingo... she's yours (that's what he did... just you did not get an invitation). I doubt very much the Dominican "temporary custody" would hold up once she was in Canada physically, definately not if she says she was abused by him... for God sake...

You can probably get a DR order same as his too... just get down there you'll see.

tiguerita I guess you didn't read the whole thing so sorry to tell you that you're wasting your time giving advice. The thread was started Aug. 4 and she was going to the DR the next day. It's now almost the 17th so I'm sure she isn't still sitting at the computer.

She did receive plenty of good advice mixed in with the rest.

 

[tiguerita]

I did see it was awhile ago... no one seemed to mention CONANI... I love how you pay special attention to all my posts...:bunny:

 

[ayp]

What does that mean, sock puppet? Do you think this is funny?

Listen, take the kid without his notice and flee the country. He has basically kidnapped your daughter. The custody papers are fake so it is kidnapping. Call the FBI.

This is EXACTLY what I said on my thread last night;

SOME of these people do not bother to read a thread, of a least a few pages, and immediately have the urge to post a comment without knowing what in hell have been discussed already!.

HUMANS, don't you just love them?.

Btw, I am with you, she is probably sitting at the computer doing NOTHING!.

Oh well, we tried and that's all we can do!.
