tempting to convert me. His indifference made me a bit restless at that<br />

moment, since also this baby girl had the right to a father. I got the answers<br />

later. The mother promised to allow the child access.<br />

Since I knew the law requires the child must be baptised within three<br />

months from the birth, I called to the Vigar of Riihimäki parish to get<br />

to know the names of my child and the date of christening. It was<br />

early autumn. I supposed my daughter might be A. E. which was confirmed<br />

by the Vigar. He committed malfeasance doing so. He did not<br />

reveal the christening date, but I got to know about it from another<br />

source: the day was August 16.<br />

I saw my daughter next time in October after begging the mother to let<br />

price. She was relentless, now she dropped the price to 800 a month.<br />

My paternity was still not confirmed lawful. I was willing to pay first<br />

after the confirmation and by the consequent agreement of the child<br />

support. Therefore I marched to the child supervisor’s again to renew<br />

the paternity statement. She confessed me to be the father of our child<br />

with her confirmative signature on the 30 th of December. The child supervisor<br />

may have pressurized on her a bit.<br />

The Year 1993<br />

The First Agreement on Child Access, Made in the Social Centre<br />

I spent the Christmas time at my relatives’, returned home at the Epiphany.<br />

The mother arranged child accesses on her condition our sex<br />

life would go on. Once a quarrel rose, thereafter I had no contact with<br />

the child for a couple of months. I got hot and told her I would sue
