Monster or Mother: Did the Right Parent Get Full Custody?

from Lanterns in the Dark: Thoughts From the Other Side of the Tracks · host Angelo Pierro Hopson

What happens when the parent who should have full custody… doesn’t? In this episode, Angelo Hopson goes "scorched Earth" by challenging the way we think about custody, parenting, and responsibility—asking a difficult but necessary question: are decisions being made based on what’s best for the child… or what’s assumed to be right?Angelo breaks down the reality many don’t want to confront—situations where children remain in harmful environments while capable, present fathers are pushed to the sidelines. But this isn’t just about the system—it’s about accountability, ego, and the consequences of ignoring red flags in parenting.This episode dives into the uncomfortable space where labels don’t tell the full story. Because sometimes the person society protects isn’t the one protecting the child.At the center of it all is one question:Are we prioritizing the child’s well-being… or protecting narratives we don’t want to challenge?
