Did it ever occurr to Tom that the mother doesn't want their child to be in the limelight anymore than they already are? Perhaps they asked not to be included in the family events and such? Maybe she's a republican and is ashamed to have a child with a democrat? Or she's afraid of how much hate she and her child would get from republicans who attack the families of politicians.
Yeah, this does not jibe with what the child's lawyer is saying:
June 29, 2023 -
https://nypost.com/2023/06/29/hunter-biden-reaches-settlement-in-child-support-case-will-provide-art/'The Post was first to report the settlement last week, with a source close to the first son saying Roberts had agreed to a reduced monthly payment of $5,000 from $20,000. Roberts lawyer Clint Lancaster declined to confirm financial details of the settlement, which were not disclosed in the court documents filed Thursday — though Hunter did agree to pay Roberts’ attorney fees and court costs as part of the deal.
“Lunden is a great mom and little Navy is going be fine,” Lancaster told The Post at the time. “The kid has lots of love on the maternal side of the family in Batesville. They are a very, very close family. They adore her and are always going to support her … But I think everybody is disappointed that there’s not more contact (with the Biden family).
“It’s not lost on anybody that Jill Biden wrote a children’s book and [dedicated it] to her grandchildren,” the lawyer went on. “She could have kept it at that, but she named every child except Navy. They hung stockings for the dog at Christmas but not for Navy. That is one of the saddest things.”'
The above article also describes how the child support settlement prevented the child from using the Biden last name.
'As part of the settlement, Roberts will drop her demand that Hunter, 53, allow the child to take the Biden family name, while the first son will provide — his art.
A bizarre clause in the settlement stipulates that Hunter provide Navy Joan Roberts, 4, with the proceeds from an undisclosed number of his novice works for an undisclosed period of time.'
The child was disowned in all ways, and is even getting art to prevent her from using the Biden name as part of a court child support settlement. The mother says that the father never met the child and that the child is estranged from her paternal grandparents:
'Roberts previously claimed that the first son “has never seen or contacted” the child and that President Biden and first lady Jill Biden “remain estranged” from the four-year-old, according to court documents from April.'
This hardly supports the notion that the little girl is secretly loved by the Bidens behind the scenes and that it is really the mother who doesn't want her daughter to be associated with them or in the limelight.
Joe and Jill Biden have centered their family lives around their grandchildren, yet exclude Navy Joan:

President Biden has worked over the past half-century to make his last name synonymous with family values and loyalty. The strength of his political persona, which emphasizes decency, family and duty, was enough to defeat Mr. Trump the first time around, and he would need to keep it intact if Mr. Trump is the Republican nominee in 2024.
On a proclamation issued on Father’s Day, Mr. Biden said that his father had “taught me that, above all, family is the beginning, middle and end — a lesson I have passed down to my children and grandchildren.” He added that “family is life’s greatest blessing and responsibility.”
Since they entered the White House, President Biden and Jill Biden, the first lady, have centered their family lives around their grandchildren, and have given them the benefits that come with living in close contact with the White House.
Naomi Biden, 29, is Hunter’s eldest child, from his first marriage, to Kathleen Buhle, which ended in 2017. Ms. Biden was married on the South Lawn of the White House last year in a Ralph Lauren dress that she called the product of her “American(a) dreams.” She and her sisters have taken trips around the world with the president and first lady. Hunter married Melissa Cohen in 2019. His youngest child, who is named for Beau and was born in 2020, is photographed frequently with his grandparents.
In April, President Biden told a group of children that he had “six grandchildren. And I’m crazy about them. And I speak to them every single day. Not a joke.”
But the president has not yet met or publicly mentioned his other grandchild. His White House has not answered questions about whether he will publicly acknowledge her now that the child support case is settled.
Despite the rejection from the Biden family, the mother says that she is teaching her daughter to be proud that her grandfather is the President. From the above nytimes article:
Her public Instagram account tells its own story: “I hope one day when you look back you find yourself proud of who you are, where you come from, and most importantly, who raised you,” she captioned a photo of the two of them at the beach earlier this year. In another photo, shared to her account in April 2022, her daughter wore an Air Force One baseball cap and stood in front of the Jefferson Memorial.
“People have an image of me, but few get the picture,” Ms. Roberts wrote on another photo in July 2022.
Seen through one prism, the photos are a powerful public testament of love from a mother to her daughter. Seen through another, they are exploitative, certainly from the perspective of Biden allies, who fear the images — and the child — are being weaponized against the Biden family.
For her part, Ms. Roberts said she did not bring her daughter to Washington to punish the Bidens. She said she brought her to Washington because not many little girls get to say that their grandfather is the president.
“She’s very proud of who her grandfather is and who her dad is,” Ms. Roberts said. “That is something that I would never allow her to think otherwise.”
So sad and discraceful.
