GREYCLIFF, MONTANA: Rory Feek rubbished claims of neglecting his 10-year-old daughter, Indiana Feek, amid an ongoing "family dispute" with his two eldest daughters, Heidi Feek, 37, and Hopie Feek, 35

Rory Feek denies allegations made by eldest daughters Heidi Feek and Hopie Feek

Rory Feek disparaged the allegations that her younger daughter was not able to visit her sisters, saying that she could do so "anytime." He clarified that she is no longer allowed to spend the night at their homes since his eldest daughters had refused to respect his wishes about what Indiana could and could not be exposed to

In his blog, the 'Gentleman' singer wrote, "Heidi doesn’t think she has to respect my wishes when it comes to her little sister. They want [Indiana] to watch the movies they want to play for her, listen to the songs they want her to hear, and be exposed to the things they want to expose her to."

He also explained that he knows what his late wife, Joey Feek, "would want" and is committed to "standing firmly on not compromising the values and principles that are important to [him] to raise [Indiana] with."

Rory further claimed that Heidi and Hopie had "forfeited their right to speak to their little sister" when a police officer visited him in the spring, claiming his eldest daughter was suing him.

Rory Feek claims he was contacted by Child Protective Services

Rory Feek mentioned that he was contacted by Child Protective Services for neglecting his youngest daughter, Indiana Feek, as his eldest daughters had reportedly taped conversations with their youngest sister to "find ammunition" against him, according to Page Six.

He expressed, "It had become clear that Heidi wasn’t looking out for Indiana’s best interest — she was looking for revenge and a way to hurt me, no matter the cost, and I was no longer going to let Indiana be a part of it."

The singer admitted that Indiana misses her sisters as he wrote, "I tell her that hopefully soon, we’ll all be back together, and she’ll get to talk to and see them again. I do look forward to that day almost as much as [she] does."

He went on to address allegations that Indiana was left with members of an alleged "cult" when he went for a honeymoon with his new wife, Rebecca, in July.

"Indiana stayed with two families, both of who have little ones that Indy is very close to," clarified Rory, adding that the Homestead Heritage group is not a cult but an "intentional Christian community." 

In 2012, the Texas Observer published a report titled "Heritage of Abuse," which talked about the alleged abuse that goes on within the religious community, including sexual assault against minors. 

Internet divided as Rory Feek denies claims of endangering youngest daughter Indiana 

Netizens had mixed responses as Rory Feek dismissed the allegations brought forward by his two eldest daughters that he had endangered his 10-year-old daughter. 

One wrote, "Shame on all of you. Joey is watching, she is in pain. Get yourself together," while another stated, "It's amazing how many children will turn on a parent for some superficial reason or in a fit of jealousy."

"Rory stick to your values, and bring your daughter up the way you and your late wife would have desired," expressed a person, whereas an individual mentioned, "It’s not beneficial to children to shield them from the world. You want a 10-year-old to stay an innocent child as long as possible."

"Protect her, Rory. We know you will. Children's innocence is just tossed to the wind these days," stated one more.
