My children were given to a man, whom I told the courts would move away after a year of having my kids, and remarry, and he did. He was illegally given custody of a child he never should have, as he never adopted her, nor did he try! My ex husband was given custody of a child he didn't help create, and now I live with his daily consequences. My children said he molested them, I got it on recording, and that they saw dad's 'pee pee hair'.

In New York State, the well-being and safety of children must be the highest priority in custody decisions. Sadly, there are cases where evidence of neglect or abuse is disregarded, placing children in harmful situations. This is not just my story; countless children across New York face similar fates due to a flawed system.

We need strict protocols that ensure evidence in custody cases is taken seriously and utilized appropriately. Both parties must be mandated to collaborate in prioritizing the children's best interests, fostering an environment that supports their growth and security. Currently, there are instances where decisions are made without giving weight to the critical evidence presented, often influenced by corrupt judges, indifferent attorneys, and careless politicians. This negligence can have long-lasting detrimental effects on a child's physical, emotional, and mental well-being, forcing them to be unsure of how to cope when they become adults.

To prevent children from being harmed, it is crucial that New York State reforms its legal approach to custody. Judges must be held accountable, and all parties involved should engage with integrity and diligence. We need policies that demand thorough investigation into claims of abuse or neglect, with serious consequences for those who fail to protect our children.
