State Sanctioned Abuse and the Enforced Removal of Children

Britney Spears Testimony ‘eerily familiar’ for Victims in Family Court

Family court involvement can be extremely distressing for parents, children and grandparents. We agree generally speaking that there must be more regulation and accountability in the system.
