[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's called custodial kidnapping and, yes, it will get you in trouble. Not to mention the fact that it makes you a horrible person unless you can convince us about your 'safety' concerns.

Source: used to work for CPS in Richmond and I've lost count of the number of times a mother took the kids away like this as some form of punishment to the dad. The "anger issues"  ALWAYS turned out to be BS. You spent all his money or slept with the neighbor. Yeah, that sorta makes people mad.[/quote]

You make CPS people look bad. Are you actually disbelieving someone who anonymously posts online for help? Why do you think they would lie to internet strangers?

I really hope other CPS workers aren't like you.[/quote]

Np: Just want to say that this attitude from CPS (and many of the pp’s) is what keeps me and countless other women trapped in abusive marriages.  People always wonder why we don’t leave-  why? Joint.Custody. and the “father’s rights” movement. I feel terrible for fathers who have doing nothing wrong and are separated from their kids, but there are 2 sides to every story. I wish these things were taken on a case by case basis but these days that is often not the case. I don’t what people expect OP to do- put up with abuse or give up a lot of rights to her child (to a father who has anger management issues)...

Yes I’ve spoken to a lawyer and have resources- doesn’t matter. Can’t prove most of it.

I’m sorry OP. Can you pretend everything is fine with DH and go visit family maybe?[/quote]

Add to that the fact that CPS will then blame the woman for "subjecting" her kids to an abusive person, and you've got one Catch-22 on your hands. Abused women who have children literally cannot win. CPS will suggest that they are lying about the abuse, but then if they can prove the abuse, will then accuse the  woman of failure to protect and start those proceedings. They are the worst of any government funded program hands down. I can't say anything good about them because they are responsible for so much abuse being allowed to continue. [/quote]
