Afterward, Coy said, he had met his former wife and Hope on a Juneau street. They refused to speak to him. Coy said that he since had learned Hope has left this city. He reiterated his conviction that .Hope is not the kind of man with which he believes his son should be as- sociated. He alleged that when Hope and Mrs. Coy came to Alaska, Hope left behind him a wife and a two-months-old child. The plaintiff indicated that his aim is not merely to separate young Gary from his mother, but to see that the boy has the proper home environment. He agreed that if Mrs. Coy were to provide proper surroundings for the child, he might regard the matter in a different light, but as things now are, Coy believes his son’s welfare demands that the child be given up by the mother.
