This important bill requires that the health and safety of the child is the judge’s top priority in family court decisions regarding custody and visitation. It also ensures that everyone participating in such a decision has specialized training needed to recognize and respond effectively to domestic violence and child abuse, and that their training is based on current scientific research. The undersigned organizations and individuals are working to advance the rights of women and children and to prevent the pain, damage and financial burden domestic violence causes to individuals and society.

Currently, Family Court judges need only make the health and safety of children one of many priorities when they are deciding custody or visitation. They often receive inadequate training and listen to “experts” with outdated or biased views of domestic violence and child abuse. As a result, 58,000 dangerous abusers are given unsupervised visitation or custody with their children every year, and when there are allegations of sexual abuse, the alleged abuser is granted custody 85% of the time. In a recent two- year period 175 children were murdered by abusive fathers involved in contested custody cases, often with the inadequately trained court professionals helping them to gain access to their children.

We believe this legislation is essential to save traumatized children and protect them from further harm. It also sends a powerful message that our legal system can no longer be manipulated by batterers, and that children’s health and safety are, indeed, the priority they should be.

Minnesota Family Court needs reform for the 3% high conflict cases which cannot settle and there is a history of domestic violence. Abusers trade in their fists for gavels and litigate their targets into poverty and then plot to take the children.

Author of the proposed Safe Child Act bill and book The Quincy Solution. Barry Goldstein will speak in the Twin Cities about this bill to reform family court custody cases and protect women and children from further abuse.

The Quincy Solution is a series of best practices centered around batterer accountability and community coordination that have been shown to dramatically reduce domestic violence (DV) crime.

Barry Goldstein to speak on the proposed bill and the Quincy Solution that is being presented to legislators across the U.S.

Sign the petition

According to the CDC's ACE study witnessing domestic violence traumatizes children. 

Minnesota has an unprecedented opportunity to become a state where abuse is prevented, not tolerated. Because no child needs to experience witnessing domestic violence. Because no child deserves abuse. Because children deserve to be protected from trauma. 

Act now, sign and share the petition, protect Minnesota's children from court mandated abuse. And if you want to help protect kids in other states, click here
