THE PROBLEM
Family courts are failing to protect children

INSTEAD OF PLACING ABUSED CHILDREN WITH THE PROTECTIVE PARENT,  COURTS ARE GIVING CUSTODY TO THE ABUSER
WHY??
THE PROBLEM
Child abuse is being dismissed
  • Protective parents are forced to seek help in family court
  • Family courts are failing to protect children
  • Instead of protecting children with the safe parent, research is showing that custody is being awarded to the named abusive parent
