Where are the laws that protect the children from these abusers? Why are these judges so blind to
the children's innocence being stolen...maybe one day when they grow up they will file against the very people that put them in their abusers hands...the judicial system. Protect our children. My grandson literally pooped his pants after just talking on the phone to his abusive father.

We need protection for our children and grand children.The court has let them down.

I have personal experience with the courts in family court. They are a joke. I attached 15 papers to my court papers detailing what my sons have had to live with and endure during the last 12 years at the hands of their drug addicted, registered sex offender dad and their extremely abusive grandmother. I lost custody of my sons 12 years ago due to my alcoholism. I have been sober 4 yrs 9 months and have been fighting in the courts for the last couple of years. What I know and have found out is absolutely sickening and criminal. I begged the courts to step in, talk to their doctor, talk to their school counselors, talk to family members and talk to the boys. The courts did nothing and told me I was wasting the court's time. They never talked to one person after reading 15 pages of horror. Mandated reporting is also a joke. People don't care and don't want to get involved. Children, like mine, have been raised with abuse, bullying, lies, manipulation and so much violence yet society expects them to become responsible contributing members of society. A parent or guardian's rights should NEVER be more important than a child's safety. Children are owed respect, adults earn it. Schools now have zero tolerance for bullying but in the home its acceptable!? Also emotional and mental abuse is every bit as damaging to a child as physical abuse is but the courts don't care. I cannot describe how hard it was telling my son the courts dismissed my request for help. He lost all hope of being safe.

My husband is going through a custody battle with his sons mother... she has 10 plus reports from teachers/ counselors/ phychiatric doctors/ dcfs has even reported the children in horrible living conditions, physical abuse, no food, and she has even admitted this to the courts.. yet they refuse to allow my husband to have custody of his son and she doesn't even have to have supervised visits. it's like the courts are turning a blind eye to everything. we don't know what to do!!!! please help!!

Neglect and abuse is the middle name of this child - I went to court - they gave me emergency custody - went back for an extenion - same court said I was in wrong court - went to the 'right court' child was appointed a GAL and every other weekend visits were appointed - then the parents appealed - the court said after 2 different appearances we were in the wrong court and wrong jurisdiction! I have not been able to check on the well being and safety of this child since the second week of December and we are now going into March - the hearing in what is supposed to be the right court isn't until the end of March - what damage has been done? Who has been playing watch dog? NO ONE! I am so upset and so worried for this child's safety - the last time I saw her she had so much fear in her eyes and begged me not to take her back to them - she cried - she pleaded and I was told if I did not and the police came to my door it would be considered parent alienation!! The system is broken to pieces - it is hurting our little children - they are frightened they are scared they are getting hurt and they are dying! They must be so confused as to why all of the big people around them can't help them! What sadness envelopes my heart for our hurting children of this country of my precious grandchild!

Somewhere the hurting has to stop. These are our children, our hearts, our pride and joy, our miracle, our future. Without them we as a race are doomed. Without unconditional love from parents especially during their impressionable early years, our kids are doomed to fall by the wayside. America STOP THIS INSANITY!

**If there is even suspicion, yet alone proof......a child should NEVER be made to go with an
abuser. Hopefully God will have no mercy on the people that deliver children into the hands of their abusers, let alone the abusers. The good parents have to follow the law lest the abuser receive the child permanently. Please law makers, have some mercy on children; one day it may be your child that is being abused; then say ye "what?"

Court ordered lawyers present their opinion that I cannot cross examine. My rights are hereby violated.

Protect these children.

the courts ordered my son to be with his father based on false allegations.everything he has said is a lie but because i am disabled and take supervised medication, the judge assumed it was true.now I am fighting to clear my name and get back my legal rights...in the meantime the alienation and psychological abuse continue.thye have put my son in the hand of a 2nd generation abuser, with the 1st generation caring for him..the system sucks and with no accountability...

Family Court was my first experience with any court system. The failure of the courts to protect my children has, so far, after many years, has one of my sons suffering from PTSD so severely that he is now in an Emotionally Disturbed student who now attends his classes in a Special Educaiton Classroom. My son was born normal & healthy. The schoo district tested him & has extended his Emotional Disturbance qualifications from 7th grade through high school. He used to get A's & B's: he got F's in all his classes last quarter. He used to have friends, he now avoids all peers & people. He does not trust anyone except for me, his mother. He suffers from the majority of symptoms of PTSD. HIs younger brother & sister suffer also, but their outcomes have yet to be seen. My childen's & my civil liberties have been striped; their abusive father's abusive pattern escalates everytijme I go to court to protect my children. He gets additional child custody time, even though he has not paid for his half of medical, dental & daycare expeses since the year 2005!! It is now 2012!! The only way they are now able to recieve counseling with our joint custody is because my son attempted suicide, twice, and was admitted twice in an adolescent psychiatric unit. He told several doctors of the abuse. They referred us to Child & Youth Services though our county. My son now sexually & physically abuses animals, needs to be supervised 24/7 for his own protection, as well as others. My son used to be a normal, shy, sweet child. His father has had no consequences for his abuse. The only thing saving my children is that they have stood up to their father together & refuse to visit him, or spend the night. They will only be in his presence if I wait in my car outside whereever they are visiting with their Dad. He has backed off from visiting them with these new facts. Our children's new county appointed child psych & child psychiatrist both agree that their father should only be in their presence with supervision. This is the ONLY thing that is saving this situaiton. NONE of this has been ordered by the court. My children 13,11 & 9 had to fight for themselves. I will NOT be going to court to bring in the new evidence because I am afraid of loosing more custody &/or not being allowed to see my children. My son's PTSD's have been severe enought to cost me my job, my entire savings. I am now unemployed & homeless (living with an amazing aunt & uncle). I used to be a Special Education Teacher for children ages 5-13. I have no criminal or legal problems prior to this. I am college educated, normal. This has been the single most devasting thing in my life. Being revictimized by the family court system is something I could not imagine any family enduring, let alone my own. I have reason to believe that not only have my children been emotionally, mentally, physically & psychologically abused, but sexually too. Prior to getting a divorce I had not known of

They will have to throw me in jail for contempt, because I WILL NOT WILLINGLY hand my daughter over to continue to be abused just because some moron judge says I have to! I refuse! If they jail us all, then what? Will THAT be news worthy? This is for you Rachel! Mommy LOVES you and has a moral and legal DUTY to protect you no matter what!

the good ol boy system they have in alabama ,i want them to tell rai why she has to be around somebody she is scared of and i feel like i'm not helping the problem i want my child happy health and this not health happy

FOR YOU HUNTER!!!!!!

WE ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT ARE CHILDREN. THIS SYSTEM IS FAILING INNOCENT CHILDREN EVERYDAY.

My son is a victim of court ordered child abuse. I have been in court 16 months supporting my son's decision to be safe from his father's abuse. Regardless of documentation the court is ordering therapy on top of numerous details I must comply with to keep physical custody of my son. Regardless of doctors, therapists and psychological evalution reports the court continues to try and force a communication that has put my son's life at risk. He has developed PTSD, depression and battles a suicidal behavior now. As a single mother of three children, I struggle daily in effort to conform to the demands made by the court as well as the financial aspect of ongoing therapy not covered by my health insurance. Police reports, indicated child abuse reports, sexual abuse reports, domestic voilence case still open after eleven years, psychological evaluations and more... All this and my son is still at risk for being put back in the hands of his abuser. CPS told me to leave my husband or they would take my children. Had I known they would not protect my son too... I would have stayed! Now it's too late and nobody is protecting my son. My biggest battle is his father's fundamental right to bare and raise children. What about my son's rights? Children have the fundamental right to protection from abuse, neglect, exploitation and discrimination. Please help children like my son be safe from court ordered child abuse. Some of their lives depend on it.

Our laws should protect the children, not the pedophile!

Remember Ohio children!

my god after all these years you would think congress and the courts would get this by now?! i am in the middle of appealing a whole division with no money,why has this not been all over the news , all these letters must be posted on bill boards for crine out loud this all needs to be exposed and adressed right now ,i will protect my daughter with all my might, she is 12 and has been told or taught when somthing realy wrong or bad happens , call or tell an adult? that you can trust? a judge for instance and watch how that judge will verbally bash her mother and refuse to speak to your child with strong evidence at hand ,and force her to visit with her abusive alcoholic narrsisist dad, shes hurt angry and has threatend to run away , because a very bad judge is making her ,giving the power and controll to the abusive parent is sick, wrong and should be against the law ,judge need to be removed from the bench , there are kids very damaged in there childhood because of these judges desisions and i hope and pray these letters are heard loudly, investigate my paperwork and put the judge on the stand !!!

Please take real action on this, it is a disgrace to our country

Sometimes the x husband/wife or partner abuses the children mentally and physically just to get back at the other.

I am in a three-year custody/visitation battle for my three children, which I recently had full custody of. My estranged spouse and her family have, verbally, emotionally and financially abused our three children and myself. My estrange spouse and her family at one point kidnapped our three children, but because they never left the county, the courts will not recognie the kidnapping. She has threatened the children on multiple occasions with running away, and lies to them constantly. She abandons the children on multiple occasions for periods of time and abandons all her monetary obligations that made up our almost twenty-year marriage. She has been diagnosed with multiple mental health issues and takes medication for her conditions. But instead of helping our family, the therapist, attorneys and judges, put the blame on me, and created a false case of “Parent Alienation” against me. The “professionals” discredited my children’s testimony. The courts tell me that she "never did anything serious to harm the children and after a few sessions of level three visitations with the children, which the children did not responded well too, she was awarded full custody and I was awarded level three supervised visitation! The stable parent that has never wavered from my parental responsibilities, who saw to it that our children are doing well in school and life, who has a very loving and supportive family, becomes the criminal. Without any evidence of any crime ever being committed! This is happening to good mothers and fathers in family court every day, and needs to STOP!

This is happening in Fort Collins, CO as well, but it isn't always the father who is abusive. Putting in sentences such as "Protective parents, mostly mothers" continues the stereo type against fathers and makes it harder in cases where the mother is clearly abusive, but the father is not able to protect the child. The assumptions are that the mother is the better parent and articles like this perpetuate that belief, so that when true abuse is occuring by the mother, it is even harder to get the courts to listen, and the child is the one who loses in the end.

I am watching in horror as my neighbor is forced to send her two young daughters to stay over nite with their sexually abusive father. The guardian ad litem disbelieves any thing the mother or girls themselves say. The 6 year old does not have a hymen and states that her dad inserts his fingers into her "holes". When she has told he has called her a lier. No one except mother believes them. The evidence that would prove his abuse is not allowed in court. Does anyone in government CARE?????????????

This is horrible!! makes me sick! my child deserves to be heard!!

Court systems don't help kids. Court system put the kids with the abuser because the fighting parent doesn't have the money. Courts only care about money not the children and other that are abused. I am in the same situation help me please.

Our granddaughter is being physical, mentally, and may also be sexually abused and the corrupt judicial system is helping continue to perpetrate the crimes. No one is interested in stopping child abuse or they will be out of a job!

I'm going through the same situation in Indiana. I attempted to flee Monroe County (Bloomington) court's jurisdiction because it would not protect my son from abuse- my son was strangled by his "dad", molested by his dad's girlfriend, and allegedly witnessed his "dad" having sex with multiple women on one occasion. His dad continually threatened to kill our son and myself every time we spoke up about the violence and abuse. Did I fail to mention the dad is an ongoing person of interest in a drug-related homicide and also a felony drug dealer? Did I also fail to mention he just gained sole legal and physical custody of our son 4 months ago and I have not had contact with my son since?

I am not a drug dealer, I don't beat my son, I am not a drug addict, and I'm not a person of interest in a murder, that's for sure. In fact, I have never been in trouble my whole life until I was recently charged with custodial interference, so why is it that my son is the one being punished and was placed right into the hands of a seriously disturbed and abusive father?

All I was trying to do was protect my son, because, after 2 protection orders, years of litigation, several reports to the police, and pages of documentation asking the court for justice, my son's pleas were ignored and he was left to suffer the consequences.

Child Protection Services are a sham and they, along with our very government, are systematically destroying the ideals America was founded upon. Family courts all over our nation are granting abusive parents rights instead of granting justice for our children.

I was accused of alienating my son from his father every time I stepped foot in the courthouse and stood up for my child's rights. Now, I don't know if I will ever see my child alive and well again- taking a child from its mother, depriving that child of his protective parent's love, stripping that child of his rights to security, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", what is that if not the very alienation the court speaks of?

If the systems that are set in place to protect and advocate for our children are not doing their jobs, then what else does our government expect than for a parent to protect their children, no matter what the cost? Ah, but there is a cost- the cost is our children and they are paying a heavy price- some, with their lives.

Please, America, where have our morals gone? What happened to our communities? What happened to our country? It's getting to the point where I am not really proud to stand up and be an American, when being American means destroying tomorrow and our future, one child at a time.

We were outraged at Saddam Hussein for the crimes he committed against his people, we are similarly disgusted with Osama Bin-Laden, we abhor the acts of Hitler, but America is perpetrating acts of violence against its own people that are similar, if not worse, to the acts of the individuals named above. And, America, we
