3 Women 3 Ways

WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH FAMILY COURT? The court tells you their father must see your kids, but CPS tells you they will take away the kids if you don’t protect them from him. His lawyers say you are alienating the children because they don’t want to go see their dad. The judge says you are just being hostile when you say the kids are afraid of him.
