"What is happening to Meghan King right now is a crisis I have watched play out again and again. It is a war on mothers and the same pattern I see in my messages every day. She has lost custody of her children. He has temporary full custody. This is not entertainment or gossip. It is a window into a system stacked against protective mothers. People keep saying, “Do you know what it takes for a mother to lose custody?” I do. It is very easy and very common for mothers to lose custody. The comments from people who know nothing about family court have been infuriating. I do not care if you like her or dislike her. What has happened to her is inhumane. The people rushing into the comments with fast opinions are often the least informed about the family court crisis. Money plays a role. Influence plays a role. Families are targeted by professionals who profit from conflict. Women are pushed to the brink and when we finally react like any human under prolonged stress, that reaction is used as proof against us. “See, she is crazy.” This is the trap. This is the setup. This is the pattern. I will say this plainly. In my opinion, he is a raging egomaniac narcissist. I have viewed footage from one of their custody exchanges. His behavior was rageful and frightening. He placed the children in the conflict while she did everything possible to deescalate. I thought about that video for a long time. The fact that he now has full custody is deeply concerning. But this is not only about them. This is what is happening to mothers across the world. When a mother tries to protect her children, she is punished for it. When she speaks up, she is labeled unstable. When she reacts to trauma, that reaction is weaponized and used to justify removing her children. It is a crisis. It is real. It is happening in plain sight. It needs to be called what it is." |

We know what the other baby mommas put out in public and they are not stable reasonable people. |

Both of Jim’s prior sets of kids were raised by their mothers. The mother of the oldest set of kids passed away when the kids were in their late teens. Meghan and the second ex did not raise them. |

100%. She has not kept any part of her life private since the show. To not address this publicly, especially to be able to blame Jim, is very unusual. |

He allegedly cheated on all 3, though. Once they were too busy with kids to be at his beck and call, he found an AP to fill the role. |

Completely agree, though do I think it sucks that Jim's side didn't keep it quiet for the kids' sakes if nothing else. |

Yes, because of her behavior last Spring, right? Meghan is not gagged about this case or Jim. |

They've been in a legal battle that just settled, and Meghan, one of the most offensive over-sharers on social media, hasn't said a word, and you don't think her silence is court-ordered or a part of their settlement? I have a bridge to sell you. |

I doubt it’s incorrect that he cheated. I was responding to the comment that Kortnie will raise the kids like the other ex’s have raised the kids of the prior mothers. Meghan is the only one that was not the primary parent for her kids. |

I think you need to buy the bridge yourself. This woman isn’t speaking about this case because of what she has done. It’s insane to think she agreed to this agreement for any reason other than what would have come out in court is worse than what is already out there. |

Go read about the case in Virginia of Joaquin Shadow Rams murdering his 15 month old son for insurance money. I know far too much about this case because his lawyers hired a school psychologist to attack the mom who I happen to know and who talked to me about the case. They painted the mom as a psycho when she had reasonable concerns. The psychologist was kind of a friend and when I brought my kid to their practice she called me in to her office to chat and I came away being horrified by her. She talked about the case and was thrilled to be chosen by the lawyers to participate. There was no reason behind her opinions and was insulting and misogynistic about the mom. I got to hear about the team work going in to destroying the mom. It was 100% inappropriate. The mom sued her and the practice and if I had known earlier I would have contacted her lawyer. The legal system completely failed this child and the mom. The dad had money to build a team the who purpose of which was to destroy the mom. If you met this psychologist you would have thought she was the nicest person. She like a lot of other humans actually hates women. |

100%. Her newest Insta story is inspirational, not expressing grief or sadness. Something is most definitely up with her, whether mental health or substance abuse. Hopefully she will get treatment and win back more parenting time. She has seemed on the edge for quite a while. |

| I think it is unfortunate in both this case and the Wolf case that so few posters care at all about the wellbeing and safety of the kids. The many posters insisting the mothers should have the kids regardless of the physical or mental harm they cause them shows many don’t care at all about the best interest or health or wellbeing of the kids. The push for kids should only be with their mothers so so strong for many that they are willing to risk or accept children being harmed to support that viewpoint. In both these cases external agencies have been involved and Meghan agreed to this deal after the CPS investigation was completed. Had Meghan been found to be a safe and competent parent, she would have her kids back with her at least part of the time. The kids matter and kids should not be kept in situations and homes where their physical or mental health is at risk and their safety isn’t assured just because of a personal view that fathers aren’t good parents and that mothers should always have their kids. |

It's not "so few" but one, maybe two, Meghan fans posting. The majority believe the CPS report led to an appropriate resolution for now, as sad as it is. |

Your first sentences are so much bullshite. We know organizations are misogynistic. So much is stacked against women. I don't see at all what you are seeing. Your comment that few posters care about the kids is so off base. We all know dads who pull custody games just for $. You're just like the rest of the world in assuming the worst about women. |
