NONE OF THE QUOTES IN THE STORY CAME FROM MICAH BERKLEY
"I want this to be very clear. There has never been a post or content generated by me Micah Berkley, threathening or speaking ill of Dominique Ward. There has never been any attempts to push the public to do anything, and this has been clearly documented in court transcripts. We have never used our children as a brand or business. And there have never been any aligations made about me, the father in the treatment of my daughters.
This piece is a perpetution of denying me ability to see my daughters. One day my daughters were living with me and spending every day with me, and the next day they were gone. All due to an argument.
