Family Court Crisis

58,000 children are give to batterers and molesters by family courts every year

We are asking for oversight hearings into the systemic failure of family courts across the country to protect children. When a battered mother leaves an abuser and attempts to protect her abused children, the family court gives custody to the batterer 70% of the time. www.leadershipcouncil.org. No agency or organization intervenes. This is the same dynamic as domestic violence, where "might makes right".

The collusion among state actors is blatant.Oversight is lacking in part because the appellate process is prohibitively expensive. The result of this surreal process is that children's lives are being ruined.

The U.S. is now a country designated as a human rights violator. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights is calling for U.S. legislation to greatly improve the protection of women and children from domestic violence. http://www.law.miami.edu/hrc/hrc_gonzalez_usa.php

We call upon our elected representatives to investigate and remedy this shameful situation.
