Critical Conversation: Protecting Children in Family Court Cases

It is conservatively estimated by the Leadership Council that 58,000 children are court-ordered into unsupervised visitation with unsafe parents. Allegations of abuse and concerns of child safety are met with suspicion, and pleas for safeguards and protection are often denied by family court professionals. Children, and the parents trying to protect them, are spending years immersed in abuse, trauma, and toxic stress and these are the cases that are considered lucky, because hundreds of children have been murdered in this context. Professionals and survivors discuss roadblocks to child safety and how they envision a family court system that protects children.
