ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – A father in the Virgin Islands (VI) has taken to social media over what he claimed was the alleged abduction of his daughter by the mother sometime last Thursday, June 20, 2024.

The man, Compton Amsterdam, stated in a Facebook post that he remains concerned for the young lady’s well-being after he claimed that the mother attempted to exit the country with the child; however, the local police and Immigration Department were alerted.

“I reach out to her mother and she... cuss me out saying F.... off and I will never see this child again. I am asking the public for assistance locating this child, I do hope T**** is in good spirits,” he further added.

In a related Facebook post; however, the elder sister of the child has since claimed that the child is not missing, but rather was taken by the mother as she was not happy about the child's living conditions at the father amongst other accusations. 

Meanwhile, the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) was asked whether it is investigating the matter; however, Police Media Liaison Akia L. Thomas-Nero promised to get back to us on Tuesday, June 25, 2024.

Thomas-Nero had not responded to our follow-ups up to the time of publication today.

    Sir, you could have just let the authorities deal with the matter rather than posting the child picture and shaming her. People are always quick to jump on Facebook for every single thing.

    A girl child should be with her mother unless the mother is abusive to her. Give the lady her child.

      People like you that give fathers a bad name. Like a man can't take car of a girl child. Then when the father ain't around he's this he's that. Hate woman with this mindset

    Statistically children raised with their mothers tend to end up going down the wrong path, male and female, whereas children raised with their fathers tend to do much better off as if they were raised with both parents. I’m just saying, fight for yours king.

    You sound like a complete @$$ making that comment. What is wrong with a girl child living with her biological Father? Your mentality so shallow you still living in the time where Mother's should have full custody of their kid(s) off the bat like us Dad's ain't got equal rights. Let that hurt go my friend ????

      What's wrong? Your mother drove your father away ? Possibly he didn't get to teach you nothing? Dance with you hid and seek ? Dollhouse? Then it turned full circle on you? Let it go you will be ok

    As a father who has raised his child on his own, I think it's important that people realise that it doesn't matter whether the child is with the mother or father, they just need love and the best person to care for their welfare. Don't assume the mother is somehow the best person to raise the child.

    Why? Only 2 things can cross my mind, 1/ He wants access to the mother that having the child gave him..2/ Going to court to pay child support, having the child give him that protection...Those are not caring reasons, those are selfish reasons. The child needs to be with her mom.

      Ge does not need any money from the mom. She plainly cannot take care of the child. The first child is fight, early pregnancy, no good behaviour. This man had raised his child and the child is in school doing well. When the child came back from Jamaica she was st****g, what good were they teaching the child, now they want her again, the sane mom who begged the same father to keep her. Mr fight for your child to be in a safe environment, don't mind these ppl flying their mouth up and down, only those who know the truth knows.

    The child was never missing. This is a wicked and evil man. The child was living in Jamaica 2 years ago and the mother decide to let the child stay with her father in the BVI while she sorted out her green card process in the USA. The father agreed. Now that the mother return for the child to complete the process the father refuses to give the child's passport. The mother was up and down Tortola speaking with police and social, development. But none of them offered any assistance. The mother even made complaint to social development about the child's living conditions and the fact that the child is staying in a house with a ex-convict. There is plenty more to this story but the court will decide.

    What he posting about give him child ?
    You could take care of the little girl at that age with this this in your hand. My daughter is with her mother because I can’t give he the care she needs.
    Come better bro and drop that bottle. Get your head straight.

    I think that the child is appropreately where she belong, with her mother, unless that the mother is deem unfit by some legal authority. You need to let the child strive and continue to support the mother in such endeavour

    Reading a lot of these comments tells me that this place have an over abundance of $€unts. Being a mother doesn't automatically make you a good parent. Posing with a beer bottle doesn't make you a bad father. $€unts!!, $€unts everywhere!
