My daughter is in an abusive relationship, women need help and need to know they are not alone.
Candice supported: Advocate for Comprehensive Laws to Eradicate Domestic Violence in the U​.​S.
Family court forcing me to sell my house based on community property laws in California. In spite of the defending spouse consistent verbal, financial, and emotional abuse and the fact that the defending spouse willingly signed a "quit claim" deed to avoid paying state ordered child support that is recorded on the assessors roll for over 10 years. Defendant could not provide proof of making mortgage pymt, operating expenses, or repairs, and deliberately caused damage to the property. The Judge was biased and traumatizing to myself, the Plaintiff. The CA 50/50 is not fair to the person who pays all the cost and at the end of the day still lose 50% percent of their 100% investment, while the non-contributing party gets 50% no matter what? Also that the Judge had the authority to revoke the recorded "quit claim deed" is astonishing.
Kassandra supported: President of the United States: We need to change the laws for abused spouses and children in custody trials.
As someone who grew up in facilities such as this I can attest to the fact that they are not the answer to "problem" children. They cause long term psychological damage and will have a negative impact throughout a person's life. I have struggled with cptsd, severe depression, social anxiety disorder, disassociation and an inability to establish healthy relationships and boundaries, self confidence and independence. My adolescence set me up for a future of unrealized potential due to the trauma I experienced that I Still battle to this day. In many ways I am still stuck in that time and it forever shaped my outlook on society, human kind and life in general, to the point I have been left paralyzed with no desire to participate in life at points.
Jennifer supported: Provo Canyon School: Shut down the abusive Provo Canyon School
When I was there the staff were so mean and so evil. You would get class 2 for any little reason which resulted in days of detention only able to do school work. You were forced to clean the building and only make $.25 an hour. Most of the staff were cruel and found joy in causing stress and pain. The psych Dr had ADHD so he diagnosed all the girls with adhd and forced meds on us. They would feed us baby sized portion and if they thought you were overweight you got half portions and weren’t allowed to ask for more. This place should be shut down along with many other places that do things like this to children. Because as adults it hinders our daily lives

My father sent my little brother here when he was a kid, and he's never been the same.
Kyle supported: Provo Canyon School: Shut down the abusive Provo Canyon School
In my stay at Provo I witnessed boys being sodomized with the tip of a broomstick by staff. Repeatedly they would play this game at night laughing and joking about "taking our cheeks" and other weird shit. This was in stabilization unit. The unit where they would send kids that misbehaved and force you to stare at a wall all day in silence, if you didnt you'd be "restrained" stripped down to your underwear and put in a cold empty cell with nothing but a drain to piss in. Of course if you resisted you'd be tranquilized with a shot in the butt or "restrained". Theyd have us cover the cameras and beat up kids who pissed them off and some nights theyd have us fight for fun. More than once I was beaten by staff and they would say it was a "necessary restraint". They would prescribe so many medications you would drool on yourself. I was one of the few lucky ones to ever escape and not go back. I made sure I never went back because I knew I would get beat by the Islander staff or the other kids. Needless to say this place was hell. I will never forget the thing I went through and I have to live with this forever. No one really gets it they just don't understand and now I don't bother to try. My experience there changed me leading to years in and out of jail,the streets,and a feeling of hopelessness for this world. I pray they shut down all of these "Therapeutic Schools". I pray they all burn.

I find this truly devastating. The government had no right to take her children from her on these mediocre, false charges. This is from their mother's point of view, but think about the children and what they must be going through. They were happily coming home to their loving family one moment, and are being taken away by strangers, likely never to see their family again the next. Look at those joyful, smiling faces in the picture. This family did not deserve to be treated this way.
Nichole supported: CHILDREN KIDNAPPED IN CATOOSA COUNTY, GA - SURROUNDING CHATTANOOGA AREAS
I have been following this case for many many years!! Free him he is a hero!! I have been through this kind of situation and my monster was left walking the streets for 13 years to keep molesting children when our whole judicial system knew about it and we were blown off and basically called liars!! He was finally able to build a case on him when we pressured them so much to do something about it and a lot of boys and girls came forward to seal the deal and he will be locked up for the rest of life, but to be honest I wish we would have had a Chris in our life, but if I would have known then what I know now I would have done the same thing Chris done!! Free this man he did nothing wrong in my eyes and this needs to be the outcome for all these sick people out here whether they are male or female!!!
