I worked in Family Court Services...my daughter, and now recent granddaughter, along with husband's children/grandchildren are all alienated from us due to this EXTREMELY corrupt Court System. We are good, loving, supportive parents. There is a high level of enmeshment with both our ex-spouses and extended family members. Unfortunately, I believe the likelihood that the parental alienating will be repeated in next generation if family and parent's rights are not protected. My ex says his wife's family paid off the judge. Protective Services made a visit to my home because my ex wanted custody so he filed/charged me as being an abusive mom. The social worker at my daughter's school says that because there were more than 2 scratches on her arm they had to investigate (charges later dropped) BTW; the scratches were from her father's cat. My husband ended up having to pay child support for his step daughter with little to no visitation. We are outstanding citizens/parents. The absurdity (can't make this up) of few situations I mentioned above and everything else we have gone through. We have lost much but our children are the Big Losers! Yes, this is a Ruthless Crime against my rights as a Mom/parent. However, when the attorneys request to keep the same judge, "...All in the Child's Best Interests". I believe it was to pad his pocketbook. My situation is different yet similar to what Ms. Schaefer speaks about and Sadly another Very Prevalent abuse of the Family Court System. As mentioned, "the bureaucracy is huge". Thank you for standing up for our children!!! Prayers...prayers...prayers
