In October 2016 what was supposed to be the end to 5 years of an abusive marriage and domestic violence situation became my worst nightmare when my 3 children Destiny was 9 yrs old, Damian was 4 yrs old and Adrian was 2 yrs old when they were removed from my care for "failure to protect" as D.C.F/Community Partnership for Children wants to call it. What is a victim of abuse supposed to do? They expect you to make the report like if its so easy to do so when you are in such horrible conditions. I have been fighting the Putnam County court systems for 3 years showing all type of evidence and none is being taken into consideration. I'm tired of staying quiet. The more I talk to attorneys or even people of the law, no one seems to understand why custody was granted to the father (the abuser). When I made the initial report to the police in October of 2016, my ex tried to commit suicide and was baker acted and locked up in a mental hospital for trying to avoid to going to jail. Those are signs of guilt. He was diagnosed Bipolar with Psychopathic Behaviors but even with him being suicidal he still gets custody of my 2 boys. My daughter Destiny was given to her biological father but the courts placed me on a no contact order with my daughter. It's been 3 longs years that I have seen or heard anything about my daughter. The siblings are being kept away and have no type of contact with each other either. Don't you think that is emotional abuse on behalf of the court system. Why keep siblings apart and without any type of communication with each other. I have shown evidence to the Putnam County Court of how my son has missed 33 days of school last year and almost 20 of this school year and that was not accepted in court. Nothing has been done to punish the father for such actions.I have provided so much evidence to the courts that none of it is being heard or taken into consideration. He cant provide stability for my boys. My boys even voiced out to the case workers that they wanted to be with their mom which I have written evidence of such and none of that was taken into consideration either. I was promised reunification which was all a lie.  All I got was 18 months of supervised visits in a center and finally got overnight unsupervised weekends and some holidays. Do you think I as a mother want to see my boys 6 days out of an entire month. Why should I be punished for a crime that he commited and my mistake was not making the report sooner. So many other women are in my same shoes and now you wonder why they won't voice out their abuse. They don't want to be seperated from their children just like I have been. I don't ask for much all I want is Justice and I want to be reunification with my children. Lets put an End to Domestic Violence.
