A Charlotte mother has been sentenced to seven days in jail for having her daughter baptized, according to WSOC.
The court case goes back a couple of years to when Kendra Stocks and Paul Schaaf were in a custody battle over their daughter. Court documents say the two could never agree on religion.
According to court records, Schaaf is a practicing Catholic who attends Mass every week, and that ultimately the court granted him final decision-making authority on all legal custody decisions, including decisions concerning religion.
Both parents were warned that they could go to jail if they ignored the warning.
But the next day, Stocks allegedly went out and baptized her daughter, which Schaaf found out about on Facebook.
The court documents said that “the mother has acted selfishly by depriving the father of the ability to be present at an event that was extraordinarily important to him.”

Hooray for her !!!
Note that nothing is said about the religion of the mom. I assume both parents are Christians, so what's the big deal?
Dear Paul - This baptism was about your daughter, not about you. Grow up.
And by the way, there is no reason why someone cannot be baptized twice. There is only one Jesus, and I'm sure He would be happy if you and your ex would stop fighting over the path chosen to lead your daughter to Him.
