Judge rejects father's bid to visit daughter

Judge rejects father's bid to visit daughter, Seattle P-I, March 14, 2008:

A Tacoma man acquitted last year of kidnapping his daughter cannot see the girl unless he undergoes psychological assessment, batterer's treatment and counseling, a Pierce County Superior Court judge [Kathryn Nelson] ruled Friday.

Mark Supanich took his daughter (then six, now 10 years old) from her mother and disappeared for two years, living under a false name. He says he did it for the girl's safety, alleging that the mother was abusive. A King County jury acquitted him in December.
