Family court judges have the power to endanger women and children. Their opinion is what matters. The best interests of the child do not matter. Patriarchy dominates family court. Children need their mothers for emotional and physical nurturing. Family court judges give child custody to fathers that request it. It does not matter if they're married to the mother, are the biological father, have psychiatric issues and/or are abusive. Family court judges knowingly give custody to abusive men and face no consequences. Children are considered male property. Family court judges falsely call good mothers bad and/or crazy. These judges seal records. New laws require lots of time and energy. Laws won't make a difference. New training programs won't make a difference. Male entitlement rules family court. Family court judges intentionally endanger women and children. Mothers and their children need protection. They will not be safe as long as family court exists. Women must continue to unite and fight for a new system. Family court judges must lose their power. Family court must end.

RIP. This is a pandemic situation and deeply saddens my heart. How many more victims and casualties do we need to count before anything is done by those supposed to act to protect???

This should never have happen. That lady suffered and couldn't speak out. Just like many who can't. We could be Nunes and still not treated fairly. Hurt by abusers then hurt by systematic abuse set allowing our abuser to hurt us physically and mentally by hidden resources. We get punish for the abusers abuse. No escaping what is allowed to happen.
