Name: Anonymous on May 19, 2006State: WACountry: USComments: The court system, whether it be in juvinile court or about juviniles, in any state is so wrong. Children Protective agencies in all states only protects the agency in securing more grants or funds for the agency. People don't realize what the ones who say they are looking in the best interest of our future, (being our children), are actually doing to our future. It's out of control, unfortunatly they are the ones who have it.Flag

Name: Patricia Nolan on Jun 4, 2006State: ILCountry: USComments: Come on...this guy isn't a father...merely a sperm donor who does not deserve 1 minute with a child he wants only when it's convenient for him. What is wrong with the court system when it allows dangerous and deadbeat people to continue to "parent" children. The family unit should not always be preserved!Flag

Name: Anonymous on Dec 14, 2006State: CACountry: USComments: As a father I have fought the courts and an irrational abusive mom for years in efforts to maintain my relationship with my sons and gain the custody my sons need in their actual best interest. Instead I have discovered a ruthless insane court system, operating with extreme severe gender bias, disregard to our children's actual needs and dad's parental and legal rights and freedoms. Many doctors, attorneys and educators have admitted the judicial system, especially California, is flawed and fails children, fathers and yes, the whole family. Its a lot of sick profit for fools who do not bother to acknowledge the harm to greater society in their roles as attorneys, family evaluators, family therapists, social workers, law enforcement. For no justified or reasonable cause a dad can, and usually does, find himself on monitored or limited visitation, with restraining orders whereby he can not call, write or safely regularly be involved in his childrens development as a parent. This petition appears to be designed to promote the very corruption that destroys families and spreads the divorce cancer to ruin so many young precious lives. To stereotype men as monsters is a disgusting awful disgrace to reason. Rewrite this petition and incorporate the white collar crimes executed by courts with abuse of discretion, double gender bias standards favoring women, misuse of due process to let me speak only while using mom's words as fact and evidence to deprive dads of they freedom to parent and be empowered as a parent. Of course, I do not approve of child abuse or molestation... nor, do I approve of any giving impression its the men who need to be denied custody...Flag

Name: Deborah Urban on Mar 21, 2007State: ILCountry: USComments: The father of my two children disappeared for four years failing to pay support or be in contact in any way. Only after he learned I was engaged to another man did he then falsly petition the court without ever having me served with court papers and had me arrested for failure appear and failure to allow him visitation despite his failure to ever contact me in four years. He is currently under investifation for state and federal tax fraud as he has not paid taxes in over six years on his yearly income of $330,000 a year and could be facing prison time. He has threatened to take the children out of the country and the judge is about to give him unsupervised visitations. In addition, he still owes over $22,000 in back support. The state will gladly throw you in jail if you don't pay a traffic ticket and get caught driving but abandon your child and fail to pay support and you are rewarded with unsupervised visits.Flag

My children's father has not been in their life for over two years! No calls,cards,visits or support. All by HIS own choice. Thank God there are other wonderful men (stepfathers) who are willing to stand up and BE a father to a child who's father has "walked away." God Bless you and your family.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Jun 8, 2007State: MICountry: USComments: We recently got had to go to michigan to get our grandaughter because her mother is in jail and then rehab. She didnt leave anyone leaglly responsible for her because she didnt want to lose her daughters ssi (her dad died 2 yrs ago). We picked her up from our other son because he couldnt afford to raise her. We contacted an attorney and dhs to make sure we could take her back to alabama were we live and they said as long as none one has leagle gardianship of her. We broght her back on jan 30th. Then on feb 2nd the police showed up at our door and since we didnt get the court order yet(already file petition) the police in michigan wanted them to arrest my husband. Luckly the police in alabama have some sense and taked to our lawyer and us to see what was going on but they did have to take our grandaughter to foster care for the weekend, then on monday we got gardiunship. Then we thought everything was over and we were able to protect her from all the abuse and drugs. Then in april our son was arrested for kidnapping and my husband was coming back from japan through chicargo and he was arrested. We couldnt get anyone to look at the court order or even talk to us. My husband was in cook county jail for 7 days that was the worst thing i have ever had to live with my husband has never been the same. I am on very depressed. They found 2 police officers who got on her band wagon and they have been torturing us ever since. The case case was dismissed against my husban and son and michigan custody court dissmised the order her mother put in to bring hailee back to michigan. But they keep trying to find a way to get us. I was just contacted by the stae representive of michigan on her behafe to investigate this matter. She has lied to everyone and no one seems to look at her record, she has been involed with the police and drugs since 1999. The whole life of our gand daughter. If anyone nos of anything we can do to get help from some service or something please let me no. We do have an attorney and like everyone else we have paid out over 30 thousand dollars and has been more than we can take. I dont understand how someone can walk into a police station and get someone arrested with no evidence. Great country we live in. The laws need to be changed so its not everything for the mother, just having a baby doesnt make you a parent. dI will pray for all of you. bethFlag

Her father resides in NY state and he gets away without paying child support, and doesn't help out with any other expenses whatsoever. He also got us into piles of debt when we were married and has not resolved any of our credit issues either. Something must be done about people like this!Flag

Name: Anonymous on Oct 28, 2007State: FLCountry: USComments: I'd like for the judicial system to really, and truly defend children from parents who cause much emotional, mental and psychological damage to our children. The future of children depend intrinsically upon a healthy and happy up bringing, and this is totally counterproductive when a child has to spend time with unfitted, irrational parents who don't have the child's best interest in mind at all. So, before allowing a child to spend time with a parent who is not behaving righteously for his/her son wellness; it's that parent who should get their act together before they can even get close to the child. Children's lives are in tremendous jeopardy, and judges don't seem to care, as a matter of fact they get angry and order parents to get along and raise children; when in fact, the reason why either one of the parents is defending his/her child is precisely because the other parent is abusive, irrational, probably has an disreputable life style (drugs and alcohol abuse). But yet, children have to spend time with these individuals who expose innocent and fragile minds to horrible situations. A responsible parent knows when a child is suffering and when his/her fear, anger and learning problems in school come from this detrimental visitation time with an irresponsible parent.Flag

Name: Paula Riehle on Nov 22, 2007State: ILCountry: USComments: I am about to go to trial to protect my 9 year old from his father who got 2 DUI's, 2 days in a row with my son in the car! He has never paid child support and actually fooled SS into paying him disability for a supposed bad back (although I have video tape of him working on a roof). Despite this, he has found a horrid lawyer that is petitioning me to pay for HIS atty's fees because I actually work for a living, and my ex sponges off his parents and the government, and works construction for cash. He has brought his convicted pedophile friend around my son, forced my son to play with a wild squirrel that he caught and was keeping in his bedroom (my son was bitten and had to go to the ER), has been in jail twice (once for child endangerment) and to rehab for narcotics addiction. He also tells my son that jail is no big deal cuz celebrities go to jail all the time. Yet I have to pay thousands in legal fees and now possibly pay his (which I was ordered to during the divorce) in order to protect my son!! Thankfully this judge has ordered supervised visitation, but in order to continue it beyond these last 4 months, we have to go to trial. It sickens me that the court protects the absolute bottom of the barrel of society, and puts out children at risk. There are absolutely MANY situations where no father is better than the one they have. I do NOT understand why they think continually exposing children to toxic behavior is in their best interest. Good luck to you.Flag

Name: Jennifer Strissel on Jan 15, 2008State: ILCountry: USComments: I am starting a pro se divorce against a man who will not allow himself to be served, after 10 years of living apart and him not supporting my son (who he happened to donate sperm for). I have been told by lawyers in the past the judge will always give him visitation if he goes into court and claims to want it. My 10 year old son doesn't want to see him (he remembers him drinking every time he did in fact see him when he was young) but the courts feel my 10 year old isn't old enough to make this decision himself. I can hardly wait for the injustices to begin.Flag

Name: Jenelle Boyer on Feb 2, 2008State: ILCountry: USComments: I know that there is nothing that anyone can say to make this better, to make you and your family feel any better... I am currently going through what seems to be the exact same situation. My son is five and I have been in court for the past three years fighting this battle. Only after my ex-husband was convicted of a felony, did the judge grant our request for a hair follicle dug test. The test came back positive for crack/cocaine, among other things. The toxicology report indicated that he uses as much as 4-5 times a week. The judge finally ordered supervised visitation...for a month. I, like your family, will continue to fight. I will pray for your family.Flag

Name: Heidi Markow on Feb 5, 2008State: PACountry: USComments: Ironically, we are fighting a similar fight here in Pa. A judge and child psychologist thought it would be in the best interest of a 1 year old to have contact with her father who was convicted of first degree murder. This criminal murdered his wife while their little girl was in the next room. We must start looking out for the welfare of the children. It's time to let our judicial system know that we are paying attention and that we are watching the decisions they are making. Keep fighting and may god bless you and your family. www.beginningover.orgFlag

Name: Lorraine Licona on Feb 6, 2008State:Country:Comments: I totally agree. While there are legitimate reasons to allow parents to have contact with their children and protect the rights of fathers who genuinely care about their kids and want to be in their children's lives, there have to be limitations when there is ANY doubt about the safety of the child. I am currently going through a similar situation and all I see is "the non-custodial parent has the right..." As I see it, they have the right to do anything they want regardless of the POSSIBLE dangers to the child. Only after the damage has been done can any restrictions be placed. It's a little too late then! Fight with all your might and God Bless.Flag

He has beat his girlfriend in front of her and is very cold towards her. I took her to a court therapist to get tested and he determined that he has caused her emotional issues and yet recommends that she see him when he wants to. I was told to teach her to deal with it and participate in alanon. So my daughter has to grow up fast so her father dosen't have to change a thing.Flag

Name: Alison Hoffman,Cook on Apr 2, 2008State:Country: CAComments: I came across this factor on a website/letter. We recognize the principal of the "Best Interest of the Child".This means that a child must not be the victim of conflicts between his/her parents (or anyone else who's trying to take claim of your child),and the child's intersts must not be confused with those of the child's parents or extended family. NOTE:A illegal movement is happening(i like to believe it's a war against good/evil)but who knows why but everyone who's involved(courts)are deliberately ignoring this principle! Hope this helps and please stay in touch.We need to take our governmentback!Flag
