stop court ordered child abuse

The Issue

In the Family Courts across this country, Judges are making ill-informed custody and visitation decisions that violate the constitutional rights of women and children because of the lack of recognition and understanding of the dynamics of power and control in domestic violence, child abuse and sexual abuse. Consequently, children are being placed back into harm's way at the hands of their abuser. This phenomenon plagues family courts across the nation. It is so common it has come to be called "court imposed child abuse." Please take a stand for our children who deserve a life free of abuse, it is their basic human right!
