It isn't spelled out clearly, but this sure sounds like weekend visitation involving a never married father.
Visitation with infants is a BAD idea. Babies need a consistent caregiver. They don't need bouncing around from house to house, which leads to emotional problems (at "best") or abuse like in this case.
Given that these guys are really little more than sperm donors, it is asinine to presume that they have the same love and commitment to the child as a father who is married to the mother, loves the mother, and lives in the home.
