Virgie Arthur -- NOT Mother of the Year

Virgie ArthurWe're told Virgie Arthur will be fighting for custody of Dannielynn, whether Birkhead is the dad or not. But when it comes to Arthur's track record in child rearing, it's pretty clear she won't win any awards.

Rewind to 1993. Arthur's son, Donald Ray Hart Jr, then 21-years-old, was busted in Conroe, Texas. But it was anything but an ordinary arrest. Hart was charged with aggravated kidnapping, along with three friends. The victim -- a 33-year-old paraplegic. The abducted woman watched in horror as her kidnappers waived a butcher knife in her direction, and discussed plans to murder her. An informant's tip foiled the plot.

Hart pleaded guilty and was sentenced to six years in prison.

But that's not all. Hart was also convicted of theft -- he pled guilty to stealing a bunch of livestock.

By the way, Arthur's daughter, Anna Nicole, also hated her. So is Arthur the best candidate for custody? You be the judge.

31. As parents we do our best by our kids. It's not always easy. They are their own people and do what they want. You know we teach the way we would do things and that does not mean they will do it that way. I don't know and I don't think anyone else could either, other that Anna if she still loved her mother. But I do know she was very pissed at her after Daniels death. But also remember that she said she cried for her mom up until that point. Now I know I get pissed at my mom alot to.... and believe me there is along story to my life and I have reason to be pissed at her and sometimes even hate her. But in the end I always Love her. I hope Larry is the dad!

34. My heart goes out to this woman who retired in good standing after working 28 years in police work. She is not responsible for her children's choices in life. It is difficult to believe the venom directed toward the grandmother of Dannielynn.

35. If Virgie ever loved ANS she would honor her daughters wishes to stay away from Danielynn. I respect Howard for trying to honor Anna's wishes. I feel she is after money. For someone that does not have much money, yet she is staying in the Bahama's, staying at expensive places, hires two lawyers, one in the Bahama's and one in Texas. She is going to sell her story to splash just to make money from the death of her daughter. I pray that that Mommie Dearest just go away her daughter hated her. So Virgie go back to Texas but no you want MONEY!!!!! You are not a fit grandmother as you were not a good mother.. Just GO AWAY PLEASE and let Larry and Howard handle what Anna wanted not what you want. You must be going to sell your story about your own daughter as you claim you don't have money.

38. OMG....now the real stories begin to come out about dear on Mommy Dearest.....but most everyone here loved her oh so much.....wonder what else she has hidden in her closet of secrets and lies.....
How about she has a child with her ver own step son.......can we say ewwwwwwwwwwww
Then what Anna had to say about her, Mommy dearest letting her step father and half brother rape her.......hmmm maybe this does hold true, since mommy was having sex with the step son.

This woman is not fit to have custody of anyone, let alone this beautiful baby Dannielynn.

IF Larry is proven to be the Daddy then let Larry have full custody, and Virgie has no rights at all,w hich is what Anna wanted!!!!!!
If Larry is not the father then Howard, keeps Dannielynn which is what Anna wanted and let us not forget Anna also trusted her beloved son to Howard in her will. And Mommy Dearest has no part in the childs life!!!!!!

39. Virgie Arthur does not NEED to have custody of this child.
This child belongs with her biological father, not Virgie Arthur, gold- seeker- at -large.
This is just disgusting.
Apparently the fortune has changed her mind and her way of thinking. She only wants control of the child so she can control the $$$.

Virgie Arthur, you should be ashamed of yourself. Greed and avarice are thy name.

42. virgie is only after dannielynn because of the $$$ she is due to inherit. if that child had been born in poverty, no one would be fighting for her!!!
in fact i believe everyone involved would say dannielynn was not their responsibility and send her off to an orphanage. granted virgie seems to be a horrible mother/grandmother but some of the blame in this circus has to be given to anna nicole. she let a life full of drugs and booze and we can't blame other people for her wrong doings. the one thing anna nicole went through, daniels death, i can understand her doing drugs then and not caring because i lost my 3 year old granddaughter, Amelia Rose Jones on 8/10/04 and i don't believe i will ever recover from amelia's death. i to take pills to help me sleep and remove the pain of my amelia's death. if i don't take a sleep aid all i do is have bad dreams and in some of those dreams i am always looking for my amelia. but although i wish i was with amelia, i realize i still have my other 2 grandchildren Matthew (8) and alexia (5). they are the two reasons i keep living.

44. Virgie will not get custody for more reasons than her reputation for raising a family in disfunction. She is to old to "mother" a child that young. I believe Virgie was a guiding factor in the instillment of morals in Daniel's life from infant until 5 or 6...probably the only ones he ever learned. She seemed, though, at her age of young motherhood to go through men, thus leading me to believe "full or self" not so interested in the proper raising of her 5 children. Virgie will not get that child...grandparents rights of visitation is all she should have.

45. What people do as adults is a choice they make. I raised my children well & in a good, stable, educated & responsible home. One of mine chose a different path than I expected or taught them to follow. One I was not proud of. That child is also not proud of it now. It does not matter what you teach your children, they are going to do as they please. Hopefully, they see the errors of their ways & straighten their lives up. It is NOT Virgie's fault that her children chose they paths they did. They did so as adults making their own choices. If you blame good parents for bad adult children then commend bad parents for adult children that rise to higher levels than those in which they were raised. You do not!

Further, there are Grandparents rights in Texas. I have several friends involved in their Grandchildren's lives under court order because the bio parent is incapacitated, absent, or deceased.

My heart is with you Virgie!
