Help abducted childs mother get a missing persons report
 
On August 15, 1994, Theodore Coty Cook was abducted by his biological
father.
His parent's had never been married.
Theodore's (Coty) mother went to the police in Newnan Georgia to
report his abduction.
There she was turned away and told no abduction had occurred since
Theodore Howard Cook Jr was the boys father.
Since that time, Coty's mother has searched and asked for help from
the Attorney Generals Office, the police and others. Only to be turned
away.
The last time she asked the police for help she was told the statues
of limitations had run out. Therefore nothing could be done.

Not only did the Newnan police fail Coty's mother, they failed Coty.
According to Georgia law the only way the father of a child born out
of wedlock has legal rights to the child is to file
For "legitimation".
http://law.justia.com/georgia/codes/19/19-7-22.html

Legitimation is a legal action which is the only way, other than by
marrying the mother of a child, that the father of a child born in the
State of Georgia may establish legal rights to his child.
(10.1) 'Legal father' means a male who: (B) Was married to the
biological mother of that child at the time the child was conceived or
was born.
(E) Has legitimated the child by a final order pursuant to Code
Section 19-7-22
and who has not surrendered or had terminated his rights to the
child.

Theodore Howard Cook Jr never filed a petition for legitimation. He
has no legal right to the child.

A petiton has been started, that will be sent to Governor Sonny Perdue
asking that he compel the Newnan Georgia Police department to take a
missing child report on Theodore Coty Cook and implement a warrant for
the arrest of Theodore Howard Cook Jr for child abduction or the very
least custodial interference.

It is time the errors made are righted for Coty and his mother.
Thirteen years is to long to wait.

Please read and sign this petition:
