My name is Erica Mitchell. I am a mother of three kids. This pertains to my oldest 2 children. I am writing this because as a mother we do everything we can for our children. But when that right gets taken away from you and your left stuck with noone to help you. The only thing we can do is hope for some help.                                                                     My story begins with i was married for 5 1/2 years to a man that did acts of DV as cheated on me. And i was not happy nor safe. Neither was our children. They still aren't at this moment.                                  Yet i left many times just to be manipulated to come back. Empty promises.    I finally found my way out after my soon to be ex husband went to jail. He was in there for Child Molestation & Sexual misconduct on his girl cousins. He was in jail 6 months. I left about 4 months later. Nov 2017 to march 2018 he was in jail.                                                                             So he got out even tho we all knew he did something. They issued ex partes on him. No contact with his cousins. 

He came up and took children from me. So now i have been fighting for my rights to my children for 2 1/2 years. April 14 or 18th 2018 to current. Still ongoing.  I didnt see them for a year. Then later on 2019 i seen them sporadically. The last time i seen them was Nov 2019. Its been another year i havent seen them.  He has make false allegations against me saying i supposedly touched teenage boy babysitter he approved while he was in jail. Got me put into jail for them as well. I have proof of that. Charges were dropped. Teenage boy Facebook messaged me telling me he was sorry. That my ex husband told him to do it. I have proof of that as well.  And I  Never been to jail a day in my life. It was worst experience ever. Documents stating coercing children . Makes allegations on my bf. And he was barely even around. Have proof of that as well. He has called me names in and out if court. Slandering my name. Defamation of my Character. He has put many ex partes on me and my bf and they get dropped but he took it a step farther since his other methods didnt work. He has stated on social media that he was trying to get me registered as a sex offender. And basically he wanted to replace.me as their mother.  He has now said i have done something to my own children and i haven't. He has pumped it into my childrens head that it has happened even tho is hasnt. And noone will look at all the proof and evidence.                                           He has a 9 year old daughter he cant see unless.its by a professional therapist because of DV and threats and cocersion as well. And her mental health isnt good. He hasnt seen spoken or asked about her in 3 years or so.        

It was mentioned he was Going to try and get me and my bfs daughter taken away from us. My ex has made comment.before to me. He will make sure.i lose all my kids and make me unhappy and miserable. 

My attorney says the same. This case is 2 1/2 years old and Im getting screwed. The children dont need to be in his home. I am tired of getting the shitty end of the stick. I have been busting my rear off for my children. And i havent gotten anywhere. They are just refusing to let me see.my children period. So i am taking matters into my own hands.

Childrens division is involved. Juvenile office. A trama therapist. My attorney. The childrens attorney. My exs attorney. My exs mother. And probably a few others. 

My whole family cant see my children. They arent just keeping me away from my children. They arent letting their grandparents see them. Their cousins. Their aunts or uncles. So they only get to be around my exs family and his new gfs family. I have.no idea who is around my children. I dont know if they are really safe or not. Just because someone tells me they are. I want to see for myself.  

I do not deserve this.  I am hoping that if Enough people see this or enough signatures be placed they may look deeper. 

If i lose this case my children will end up hating me because of the things he has said and told them. And they will be stuck in an unsafe environment. They were told to call me by my first name. And i am their Bio mom. If they call theirs dads gf by her real name.and not mom then he makes them call him by his real name.and not dad. 

There has been hotline reports and they close them and say nothing is wrong say kids say same story. These are people calling in a problem. And its clearly being overlooked. 

Im not sure what to do anymore.  All i know is i am trying to be strong. Keep faith. And hope for something to change.  

I love my children. And i miss them very very much. I have missed many many holidays and birthdays with them. I have 3.totes full of Christmas and birthday presents for them. Clothing that were bought that they may never get to wear. By the time i see them again. 

I JUST WANT MY BABIES BACK HOME WHERE THEY BELONG ����

I am just so heartbroken and torn. My heart is in so much pain. These are my babies. I have given everything to them and for them. 

If anyone has any questions. Feel free to email me.
