The Worst Interests of the Child

This author, Keith Harmon Snow, is courageous and shares his expert, investigative reporting of the secrets in the Family Court System. He shares true stories, of protective mothers, who survived decades of violence only to be ambushed, in courtrooms, by the vengeful father and toxic officials who seem to hate women. Documentation of police reports, medical proof of injury, expert witnesses, etc. are provided but ignored by the court. Not only do they take children away, from protective mothers, but the sociopath obsesses with alienating the children from the mother. Reminder: Domestic violence is at the root of all crime and affects all of us. Tax payers’ money is being spent on this court corruption and destruction of children. The ACE study exposes physical and mental harm, done to children, because of domestic violence, divorce, trauma, loss, poverty, etc.
