I went through it. I experienced it Would never have known such grotesque behaviour existed until it happened to my family. To find out that this is happening in other countries to other moms and children shocked me. I had no idea how deep the corruption was. But know this, Woman, we have more power than we realize…believe it. Men’s need to control is so fierce because they know how powerful we are, we operate from the highest power which is love. Love is infinite, the power of dark is finite. Our hearts are our driving force, powerful and relentless…we will not stop until children are free!
Me too. It wasn't dad that was sexually abusing our child, but possibly a family member that had lost custody of his own children due to accusations of sexual abuse. I say "possibly" and "accusations" because of risk of being sued for libel. I was convicted of Interference with Child Custody, sentenced to 21 months state jail, currently out on appeal bond. I ran with my child when they were 3, and made it until they were 17. 13 1/2 years safe and free. The price for that is state prison. Members of the jury cried during my testimony. It's obvious that I was abused. It's obvious that my child was at imminent risk of being abused, if not already abused - I can't prove abuse and my child (thankfully) doesn't remember anything. But still, guilty. I broke the law. Like Harriet Tubman, I ran from my owner. Unlike Harriet, there was no safe state for me to go to, and I was caught and dragged back IN CHAINS to be imprisoned For Protecting My Child. Susan O'Connor, Collin County, Texas, USA
We have another mother, right now sitting in jail in The Colony Texas for trying to protect her daughter from physical abuse (strangulation) and sexual abuse. Marlana Christopher.
Family court is about maintaining male power and control after divorce. Family court judges do not rule in a child's best interests. They separate children from loving mothers. Patriarchy dominates family court. Children are considered male property. Family court judges give custody to males that request it. It makes no difference if they're abusive. Facts and evidence don't matter. Family court judges seal records. New laws and training programs won't help. Women have no enforceable rights in family court. Family court judges know what they're doing. They falsely deem loving mothers unfit. Women are powerless to protect their children. Precious children are intentionally subjected to the horror of abuse. They are not safe in their own beds. Family court judges face no consequences for their actions. Their opinion is all that matters. Mothers and children are traumatized. They often require a lifetime of healing. Grace and Phoenix deserve to be safe. These children have a loving mother that wants to nurture them. Laura should have the power to protect her children. Family court judges take children from loving mothers. They must no longer have the power to do so. Women must continue to unite and fight for a new system. A jury would give women and children a chance at justice. Family court must end.
This happened to a family in my mom’s church. The father was raping their eldest daughter and bragging about it in rap songs he wrote as a hobby. It took years for the father to lose custody, even in the face of mountains of evidence. The girl is absolutely ruined. She is 13 now, and cannot be kept with her family. She’s tried to murder her younger sister several times, so her grandparents housed her for a while. She then tried to seduce the grandfather and kill the grandmother. The amount of damage done to gratify a man’s temporary urges is staggering.

What the actual fuck?!
