As a deeply concerned citizen, I am moved to action by the distressing reality that First Justice Patricia Gorman has placed hundreds of children and disabled adults back into harmful and life-threatening situations with their documented abusers. This is not just an abstract issue; it is a personal one that has affected many families in Massachusetts.

Justice Gorman's decisions have had profound implications on our community, particularly on the most vulnerable among us - our children and disabled family members. The bills H1652 and H1484 are currently under consideration, which could potentially remove her from her position in Norfolk and Dukes County Probate and Family Courts.

In Massachusetts alone, there are thousands of cases each year where children and disabled adults are returned to abusive homes (source: Department of Children & Families). It is alarming that someone entrusted with such responsibility would contribute to this statistic rather than work tirelessly to reduce it.

We need judges who prioritize child safety above all else. We need judges who understand the long-term psychological impact abuse can have on a child and disabled adults (source: American Psychological Association). We need judges like these in every court across America but especially in Norfolk and Dukes County Probate and Family Courts where so many lives have been irrevocably damaged.

This petition calls for immediate action. For the sake of our children's and vulnerable disabled adult's future, for justice, we demand the removal of First Justice Patricia Gorman from her position. Please sign this petition today.
