(Reuters) - A judge in Atlanta on Friday denied the ex-wife of R&B singer Usher temporary primary custody of their two children after one of them was hospitalized following a swimming pool accident at Usher's house.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge John J. Goger dismissed the motion for primary custody filed on Tuesday by Tameka Foster, saying that there was no reason for the singer to relinquish primary custody because of one accident.

Usher, 34, has custody of 5-year-old Usher Raymond V and his younger brother Naviyd, 4.

The Grammy winner and coach on NBC's TV singing contest "The Voice" won custody of the boys last year. He was married to Foster, 42, from 2007 to 2009.

In her court filing, Foster had alleged that Usher failed to personally exercise physical custody of the children by using caregivers and also traveled excessively, which took away from his parenting time.

The singer, whose full name is Usher Raymond IV, was not at his Atlanta area home on Monday when Usher Raymond V's arm got caught in a swimming pool drain when he tried to retrieve a toy.

The boys' aunt, Rena Oden, and two other women tried to pull the child free but could not. Contractors installing audio-visual equipment at the house jumped into the pool, rescued him and administered CPR.

"What happened here was an awful accident," Goger said when explaining his decision. "Based on the evidence here, I'm not certain that one person could have done any better than Ms. Oden. Ms. Oden did impress me."

Usher, Foster and Oden all testified at the hearing.

The boy is recovering in an Atlanta hospital and is expected to be released on Sunday, Usher's attorney said.

Last year Foster's older child and Usher's stepson, 11-year-old Kile Glover, died after suffering a brain injury during a jet-ski accident.

usher:Judge Rules Against Tameka Raymond

Tameka Raymond's effort to regain custody of her two sons from her ex-husband Usher was shot down in court.



Tameka, Usher and his Aunt Rena all took the stand during the emergency hearing. Rena told the court that she had cared for the children for many years and Tameka never voiced an objection until now.

The 911 call from the day 5-year old Raymond V nearly drowned was played. Tameka said it demonstrated the aunt has no control over the kids. At one point she broke down crying, saying she believed her son was under water for three minutes, not the thirty seconds that was reported. She added that she didn't know if her child suffered permanent brain or heart damage from the accident

After all of the testimony was heard the judge in the case ruled in Usher's favor and denied Tameka's request for custody. He said that in his opinion Usher's aunt was a capable caregiver when the singer is out of town and stated that everyone at some point in their life has been looked after by a grandmother or aunt.





When the proceeding ended Usher and his ex-wife hugged.

So ever if they are like Tameka and the court deems them an unfit parent, female children are supposed to be with their mother?
Please.

Children deserve to be raised by the most fit parent. Period.

I completely agree that children should be raised by both parents. In fact, I dont believe in divorce unless its a life and death situation. However, I do believe male children should spend the majority of their time with a male figure preferably their natural father.

My dad cant teach me nothing about being a woman and my Mom cant teach my brothers how to be a man. Thank God my brothers and I came from a two parent household. You really need that balance but you really need that connection with that same sex figure.

I agree. My mother is like Margaret Thatcher strong but she stays trying to soften me any opportunity she got. she still does. i laugh when she tries. :lol: Thank God she ran a bar/restaurant and many males came through plus my Uncles stayed looking out for a nigga. My father is soft too cos he was raised by women for the most part and he wasn't home while i was growing anyway. He was out making money for us all. I agree a boy needs male figures in his growing stages. Not prison loving, milk-drinking men to be honest. i admit this is the most confusing post i ever wrote :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
 
She really didn't have a case. Other than what the article said, her other complaint was that he didn't call her enough to advise her on what's going on in her son's lives. The judge even told her that lack of correspondence does not constitute an emergency hearing.

My brother and I was raised by a single grandmother and didn't have that much male influence growing up. We both turned out cool. College and jobs. Only thing I would say I lack is that knowledge guys get on shit like cars and stuff. I learn everything else just by going through life.

Based on how some of these guys on here act that look down on guys that were raised by females, I'm happy as fuck about my situation and would do it the same way all over again.:dance:
 
my dad was unfit as hell to raise me alone.

but THANK GOD he was there.

that dude taught me how to be tough without being stupid.

my mom GOD LOVE HER...taught me to be a SIMP.

it took 10 years OF ADULTHOOD to out grow that stupidity.

Your last sentence sums up what "black manhood" has become. Those of us who recognize what is wrong, have to "reacqauint" ourselves with adulthood and what it means to be a man... bein a man ain't about how much weed you can smoke, how much alcohol you can drink or lastly how much pussy you can get.


Lets be real, a momma wants her son to be a ladys man and the idea of being a "man of means" or self reliant, isn't in her thinking.


Thats why I'm a fan of Malcolm X. He basically made that point.


There are those who still follow Malcolms years "under" the NOI, and then there are those who look at his life in its totality, which basically ....says you .... as a black man...gotta "grow out" of that stupid shit.

Congrats to Usher for doing right by his sons! Any mother found unfit by a judge not to able to raise her child should never get them back!

In a custody case, the custodial parent always has the upper hand.

You have to prove absolute incompetence against the custodial parent, in order to gain right to take the kids.

A woman who loses custody, usually has a long and hard fight to regain custody.

While I understand why she did what she did (I went through something like that with my ex wife and my daughter), she lost custody. thats it, case closed.

Two parent home is the ideal situation. Death or divorce or a single parent pregnancy changes that. In certain cases a single parent can do an excellent job raising children. It has happened many times by necessity with no other choice available at the time.

It's much harder to do, much more burdensome for the parent and the child male or female will miss out on certain crucial advantages. When most of a community is bereft of either fathers or mothers it can have a negative effect on that community socially and culturally as a whole.

yeah i once led a therapy group where we discussed manhood. we had to break down all the walls of bullshit that we all considered attributes of manhood.

drankin, smokin, womanizing, NONE of that is what makes a man, but we all had that burnt into our brains.

moms wanted me to be respectful to woman, to treat them like queens.

it took trial and error and deep retrospective thought to realize ovaries does not a queen make.

you have to treat a hoe like a hoe, crazy pussy like crazy pussy, fun pussy like fun pussy, and a potential mate like one.

moms couldnt teach me that, cause she never dated women.

being a woman doesnt not make you an expert on DATING them.

i needed a man for that, but pops was long passed away by then so i had to learn from my own fuck ups.

now that i got game tight i'm married.

:lol:

i try to pass my knowledge off to others but these mafuggas so damn lame they wont believe in themselves enough to let it work for them.
