A California man says he’s “overjoyed” to have been awarded full custody of his son, Sawyer, whose mother intended to raise him as “non-binary.” In his first interview since being awarded full custody, the proud father said: Blaze TV host Allie Beth Stuckey To share details of his eventful journey and to offer encouragement to others in a similar situation.
A few years ago, Harrison Tinsley briefly dated a woman in the Bay Area. Soon after meeting, the couple had a baby boy named Sawyer. However, the boy’s mother, who reportedly suffered from serious mental illness, quickly distanced herself from Tinsley. In fact, Tinsley didn’t meet her son until he was just over a year old.
Shockingly, Sawyer appears to have hit his grandfather in the face with a plastic object, suggesting his mother may have forced him to join the fight with his father, which Sawyer told Tinsley he did at his mother’s request.
Tinsley spent the first few years of Sawyer’s life fighting for full custody of her son, despite the courts adamantly insisting that custody be split equally between Sawyer’s parents. Stucky He felt bitter frustration as he endured having only “half custody” of Sawyer.
Tinsley never expected her outlook to change so quickly.
Last week, less than a year after her first meeting with Stuckey, Tinsley was awarded full custody of Sawyer, who is now 4 1/2 years old. On Thursday’s episode of “Relatable,” Tinsley sat down with Stuckey again to celebrate the big win.
“It’s a miracle, a dream come true,” Tinsley said.
Tinsley went on to explain that she has “full custody,” which means Sawyer will live with her and Sawyer’s mother will only have “visitation a few times a week.” While there’s certainly a legal battle ahead of us, Tinsley is happy to have full-time control of Sawyer while still allowing him to maintain a relationship with his mother.
“When it comes to legal custody, we basically have to discuss it,” Tinsley explained, “but if we can’t come to an agreement at the end of the day, I have the final say.”
Stuckey was impressed by Tinsley’s unwavering dedication to her son. “It’s a huge sacrifice,” she noted. “A lot of time, a lot of effort, a lot of money. And she did it because her son was worth it.”
Though Tinsley has done her best to provide a stable, healthy environment for her son, Sawyer’s mother’s mental health issues appear to continue — not only does she still use “they/them” pronouns when referring to Sawyer, but she has even been arrested several times, including for physical altercations with her father.
Surprisingly, it may have been his mother who forced Sawyer to take part in the fight, as Sawyer hit his grandfather in the face with a plastic object. Sawyer told Tinsley that he did so at his mother’s request, but Tinsley denied it.
“The mother claims that Sawyer didn’t say anything and was just doing it out of respect for her,” Tinsley told Stuckey. “I’m inclined to believe what Sawyer says.”
Tinsley and Stuckey also discussed the far-left political climate in the Bay Area and California in general, with Tinsley recently becoming an advocate for parental rights in the state despite LGBTQ extremists passing a bill allowing schools to keep a child’s so-called gender transition a secret.
Tinsley called Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom a “terrible person” and a bad leader, but argued that people at the local level are working primarily in the best interest of children, regardless of politics.
“The San Francisco Child Protective Services should be commended,” Tinsley said. “They put politics aside and did their job. They put politics aside and did their job and did what was best for Sawyer.”
Tinsley also wanted to encourage others facing custody battles or other legal battles. “No matter what, never give up. No matter how hard it is, how depressed you feel,” Tinsley urged. “Don’t give up, find a way to keep going. That’s life. It’s always darkest before the dawn.”
“You never know what’s going to happen, but just try your best. Even if you fail, you’ll feel much better if you tried hard than if you didn’t try at all.”
The full interview with Tinsley will air Thursday at 6pm ET on YouTube and BlazeTV. To enjoy more original content, click here. here To become a subscriber:
