I've had friends that were part of the system when we were children. As adults, they finally exposed the abuse they experienced - mental, physical, sexual. The system that was supposed to protect them from their "home environment" exposed them to more abuse than the neglect they experienced in a home with a mother that was a recovering drug addict. Even more mental abuse than they experienced when they found their father's body after he took his own life. The "system" across the nation needs to change - these children should not be victimized by a system that is designed to protect them!
As an adoptive mother of two kids who spent time in foster care, I know how fortunate we are that our situation went fairly seamlessly. I know that's not the case for so many vulnerable children (especially those with special needs). The "syetem" everywhere throughout our country needs top down reform and accountability from day one that a child is placed in out of home care. I don't know the full extent of your situation, but I truly hope that there is justice done and resolution.
I've read many heartbreaking stories of lives affected by CPS child trafficking organizations. It's government sanctioned kidnapping, and seems to be largely ignored. Families being torn apart should be a last resort and not taken lightly.
Edher and his family are very involved in our community and their children’s’ schools, helping not only their children, but those across our district.
Edher is a great Dad! He hasn’t seen his son in several years as he was taken by his mom from the country to Mexico.
Even after providing evidence time after time this judge looked at us and said “I don’t care what proof you have I will never take these kids away from their mother.” This Judge has been biased during our entire child custody hearings and even though there are pending charges against the mother and the child is the victim the judge took away supervised visits and gave her overnights!! These children’s life’s are in constant danger and even were left home alone this past weekend while the mother went shopping!! The Judge told us if we bad talk about the mother again we will be hold in contempt! Even though we were just showing evidence from CYS that the mother was the perpetrator and there was findings of abuse!!! How many times can a child’s life be threatened with proof and nothing is being done about it?? We need a real job who wants to protect children not their abusers!!
I can’t even imagine if all the parent victims came out and told their story, just how many cases there would be. I’ve witnessed her abuse and lies in person. It is so sad how many families she has absolutely ruptured and how many children are still in with their abusive parent.
Thank you for posting this. Judge DeCostro allowed my sons to be taken from me because father accused me of swearing in to front of my kids and "talking negative" in October 2020. All after not being properly served a court order. I went 13 years as a hands on mom to 4 days a month. I fought with her, went through lawyers to have my military disability used against me (he's a veteran as well). My saving grace were these articles when I found them in Jul 2022. After a lot of push back I was able to move my case to Somerset where father and kids lived. I know have my oldest at home and father does not acknowledge him. I have been alienated by my 14 year old since Easter 2024 thanks to the corruption in Somserset County. I pray for all the parents and children.
This woman has created an impact on a dear friend of mine and I will not allow that sweet girl to suffer. She deserves a good life in a good environment. This judge should not have this position, especially with the hurt she causes. She should not be able to do this to so many victim leading to a worse condition, the lack of remorse saddens me. I pray for the families affected by this woman and I hope this cause becomes more known as well as what she does to children, forcing them to continue living with their abusers. My heart goes out to all the families and children.
I left when I genuinely believed my ex husband was going to hit me. I was told I should’ve stayed and let him hit me because I can’t prove almost.
My ex husband perjured himself in court. I was allowed to present no evidence- even though I had police reports.
He did not know their clothing sizes. He couldn’t remember their birthdays. Didn’t know their doctors or teachers. He activated the tracker on my vehicle without my permission. He and his family harassed me, including calling my boss to try to get me fired.
I still lost custody.
When I started crying she asked me if I was stable enough to have custody. My ex’s lawyer made all sorts of disparaging comments under her breath but I was the one threatened with contempt for crying.
When I came back next time, I made sure to speak calmly. I kept my tone even. She asked me if I was so cool about this, did I even care about my kids? Again, wasn’t allowed to submit evidence.
