CNN iReportMothers from across the country gathered at the White House today on Mothers Day to stand in silent vigil for the children who are now in the custody of abusers.
CNN producer NCarroll is the founder of the Indianapolis chapter of this organization and posted these photos, telling me, 'We tried to all dress in white as a sign of peace (as the Liberian women in "Pray the Devil Back to Hell" did). We had about 120 participants. '- Thanks, CNN iReport producer
Raise awareness of this crisis in family courts
Children who are now in the custody of abusers.
Claims of domestic violence are often dismissed by family court judges during divorces or child custody proceedings, even though the American Bar Association found false claims to be rare.

Thank you for spending your Mother's Day taking this urgent stand for children held hostage by custody courts and child protective agencies despite the best efforts of dedicated mothers to protect them.

Any family court judge who grants custody of children to a wife-beater, should be charged with child endangerment. If the wife-beater is a danger to his (ex)wife, then, he is a danger to her children. One does not need to have a law degree to know this. Family courts are powerful, secret societies. Wife-beating cases belong under the jurisdiction of a criminal court, and not the farce and fraud of a family court. If judicial immunity is not ended, then, the family court judges will keep-on breaking the law. The family courts should be open to the public, to the press/media and to court watchdog organizations, especially in secret courts the deal with children, that have done away with court reporters and the evidence. The taxpayers are supporting these courts, so the public and the public's elected representatives should have access to the family court records, at any time and without delay, in the public interest and in the children's interest, to weed out corruption and negligence and to ensure that that the taxpayer's dollars are not being squandered.Less
