Hopes DNA findings show he is not the dad Today, we continue with our buzz-worthy feature, Paternity Puzzle. Last month, one lucky person got a free DNA test. The feature will continue to attempt to help families solve paternity disputes. One more lucky person will get a free test and reveal the truth once and for all. This and every Wednesday for the month we will publish the story of a mother and an alleged father, who will both give their sides in tales of allegations and denials. Be sure to follow the series as THE STAR awards a free DNA test sponsored by Caribbean Genetics to the most interesting story for the month. A 30-year-old businessman is hoping that a DNA test will prove that he is not the biological father of his alleged sixth child. Anthony Maine, who said he is the father of five children, told THE STAR this week that he was given a 'jacket' and he wants a DNA test. "I have five other children and all of them look like me or have some kind of resemblance fi my family. Dis child don't have nothing for me, and don't even look like his own mother," Maine told THE STAR. Monica Wilks, who met Maine around 2010, says she is confident that her child belongs to him and describes Maine as a liar. "Di baby look like him, it is just that him brown and the baby skin is dark. The child look just like him, so I don't know what he is talking about." Both parties had a relationship that lasted a little over a year as Maine said that he had a bona fide woman who was living overseas. He said: We met around 2010 in a shop, but that time I had my bona fide woman overseas. Mi life did nice because mi did have mi sophisticated woman from foreign, plus mi did have mi house and mi van. From mi meet Wilks, in no time she reach a mi yard a wash and a cook. Maine said that Wilks' pushy personality landed her into his bed during a time that he was very lonely as his woman was overseas. She said: What a man lie, eeh man! He was di one who invited me in his house at the time. I couldn't just take up myself and go live inna man house so. Yes, him did tell mi seh him have a woman a foreign, but mi never force myself on him. He said: Dis woman seems as if she look fi di progressive yute dem and breed fi dem because she mash up mi life and tell mi original woman dat she a breed fi me. A from dat mi lose mi house, mi vehicle and mi account. She said: What a man lie, eeh man! A him come a di hospital to sign papers, nobody didn't force him. A him woman house and vehicle. Him never live no weh, he was the one who said that him woman a old woman. He said: She did have her man at the time and somebody tell me about the man who di child belong to, but it's not mine. She said: He is just a liar because I didn't have no man at di time I was seeing him. At di time, I didn't even know that I was pregnant, he was the one who did tell mi seh mi pregnant because him woman get dream about it. Wilks said that Maine was very convinced at the time that she was pregnant, because he was complaining about feeling sick. When asked what he would want the DNA result to be, Maine told THE STAR that he would want it to be negative as he has no connection with the child. He said: Mi and di child just don't mesh, mi a support di child, but there is no connection. Mi a pray and beg God to not make this child mine. She dash jacket pan me, and she a worst ting dat ever happen to me. She said: I have nothing to worry about because I am 100 per cent sure that the child is his because I wasn't seeing no other man at the time. He is not supporting the child, and the court has made an order for him to do a DNA test. Names changed. |
