We are parents deeply concerned about our beloved child's well-being, especially amid the uncertainty of custody battles. We feel helpless witnessing our child's distress each time he has to leave us. Further aggravating the situation, our parental guidelines, such as clothing size or dietary precautions due to his soy sensitivity, are regularly disregarded. We are also facing uncalled claims of guardianship.

The emotional distress of having a child separated from their parents can be detrimental to their development. A study by the American Psychological Association suggests that children who go through stressful family transitions may have lower academic performance and psychological well-being decades later. We implore organizations and agencies involved to respect and uphold our parental rights, provide flexibility in visitation agreements especially in instances of mental health crises, consider the emotional well-being of the child, and ensure protection for our child's physical health.

We urge everyone to help us bring our son home and ensure he grows in a nurturing environment where his interest are prioritized. The pain of separation does not just affect the parents, it affects the child profoundly more. Let's fight for our child's right to thrive in a stable, love-filled environment.
