from his family's fb page
We, the family of Michael Robinson would like to express our love and undivided support for the mothers of Michael's three children who have, and will continue to receive harassment, blame, and aggression from persons who publicly shame them as being responsible for the child support charges that landed Michael in jail.
These things are not as simple as people think. In many cases, it's not even the mother filing a complaint. Often it is mothers on public assistance who are forced to reveal the father's name in order to receive said public assistance, and then governmental agencies going after the fathers for child support they have not paid.
Michael loved his children. All three mothers are unified presently, with their respective attorneys, in order that we show up as a non-partitioned, single force in the pursuit of justice for the father of their three beautiful little girls.
We will not tolerate, nor participate in any attempts to slander their names, their honor, or motives by people wishing to debate issues around child support, parental responsibilities, etc. These 3 women are our family. They are suffering.
We will not stand by and say nothing when they are abused or berated by idiots in the peanut gallery who are so detached from this tragedy that they feel it okay to engage in their tea-sipping gossiping and condescending commentary.
We ask that all followers of the movement for justice in this case, please support us in this by refraining from all forms of discussion about the mothers involvement, and by nipping such commentary in the bud when it arises.
If any of you have ever gone through a death in the family and had to experience what it's like to try to keep your family unified when there are multiple difficult issues to manage, then you'll understand how damaging it is to a family structure to have such foolishness happening. Now imagine what that's like in THIS situation, where, on top of dealing with the fall out of his death, we are attempting to be a strong, unified, voice for not only our family, but for the thousands of other families whose loved ones have been killed by brutality or neglect from a law enforcement or "correctional" institution.
Technically it is the children who are the plaintiffs in the proceedings, and there is an incredible amount of pressure and fear for the mothers of Michael's children.
Please support us with a layer of protection around these mothers.
and killing the mamma in the process
