My question is, who gave this judge the authority to steal away your own child from you, because it wasn't god and I can only wonder where the father was and how he must feel about all of this."
I'll answer the question, but you are most likely not going to like the answer. The parents gave the judge the right.
There are two elements that give the State, or its agent, the "right" to decide what to do with the STATE'S property - the child.
1. The marriage contract. It creates a corporation between the two parties involved, placing the control of the corporation's assets under the jurisdiction of the State itself - this judge is the acting agent of the State. In essence, when you get married and "license" the use of the term "marriage" you agree to allow the State to control ALL of the assets created by the new company, including children. Once married, the State is control of all the assets until the company is dissolved completely - with the State's oversight. The State, if it determines it is in the best interest of the State, can keep the couple married if it wishes and deny divorce, though it rarely does, but it can.
2. The "birth certificate" gives control of the living person to the State. children with a birth certificate, are an asset of the State, as such, it is in the best interest of the State to do what is best for their assets. The State seeks to protect their assets, so if the State determines one "parent" is better then the other it will act in its own interest by placing its asset where it will be best served - this also includes placing it elsewhere altogether it it pleases. The asset is key for the State as the asset has had several million dollars printed in it's name upon birth, a loan to the State, which is guaranteed to be repaid by the asset, with interest. So the State wants to see the asset in the best scenario - though best is vague at best in the times we live in.
The answer is the parents gave control of their lives over to the State when the married, or claimed marriage, and they should not be at all surprised by the State's decision. Had they had a child, without a recorded live birth certificate, and with no marriage, they'd have been tossed out court due to no jurisdiction. But then they would have whined about having to deal with the matter on their own, like adults.
Well for minorities these days things are definitely twisted.
First of all, there are no minorities because America is the melting pot of all people and nationalities. But blacks are still considered minorities according to the classification of the US census data which puts them in a minority group against all other people and ethnicities.

Yep, accusations and collective punishment. Thanks for proving my point your all the same.
But since you care so much about my child, in the short period of time I lived with her mother when she was pregnant, she became extremely abusive towards me. She went out of her way to annoy me. She tried to provoke me to hit her, she hid the shower head from me, my showers were standing water for three weeks, she called the police on my for no reason, she invited her father over who tried to start a fist fight with me for no reason that same day. She starved my cat and took away the food I bought for her away from my cat, locked up the cat in her bedroom along with the dry food, which I also purchased and the microwave. She piled everything I owned when I was trying to sleep into the spare bedroom at 7am with music blasting, when she was done, you could not step on or see the floor.
Worst of all I tried to leave but there were no shelters that accepted men, only woman and children.
Guess who got custody without any questions asked, she did.
You don't need to know all that, but go ahead, open your mouth again.
ETA: Yes not only did she stave my cat and attempted to starve me in my home, she was also physically abusive. She has punched me and hit me over the head with blunt objects.edit on 4-10-2012 by thehoneycomb because: (no reason given)

Very helpful post, thanks.
But what about cases in which both parents are not married?
