From today’s Tuscaloosa News- Court's custody order draws Parker dissent on religious grounds By SAMIRA JAFARI Associated Press Writer November 21. 2005 5:46PM ·  Email this story. ·  Print this story. The Alabama Supreme Court upheld a lower court's decision granting a Madison County father custody of his 6-year-old daughter, based in part on evidence the child had been beaten and alienated from her family. But Justice Tom Parker, the lone dissenter in the 8-1 ruling Friday, took issue with the majority's view of the mother's strong religious convictions, saying the decision restricted the mother's right to teach her child "the worship of God."   http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051121/APN/511210910   _____________________________ Case found at  2005 WL 3082278 (Ala.)  Ex Parte Snider     Joel L.
