Grandfather's Bid to See 4-Year-Old Granddaughter Denied by Court
A family court in Be'er Sheva has dismissed a grandfather's request for visitation rights with his four-year-old granddaughter, whom he had never met. The court ruled that forcing a relationship amid a severe, long-standing estrangement from the child's mother would harm the child's well-being. The estrangement began years earlier when the mother discovered financial debts allegedly opened in her name using her father's personal details. Subsequent confrontations involved severe threats, including a letter where the grandfather stated he would mourn her as dead on her wedding day.
