For the Protective Parent
A Short Note to You
If you are a protective parent...
Welcome. Our protective parents are parents who realize their child/children have been abused and they are doing all they can to protect their child/children from harm. While most believe help will arrive once the abuse is known, the opposite may happen and life becomes complex and overwhelming. That is why we are here for you as much as we can be.
Many of our protective parents have lost custody to their abuser. If that has happened to you, know you are not alone. We are sorry for your loss, your child/children’s pain and this continuing abuse.
This world often feels upside down. The person closest to you who should be helping you and protecting you is continuing to harm you and your child/children. Many of the agencies and professionals who should be helping are not. In fact, many are causing more harm by not protecting your child/children. Divorce is a $50 billion industry and it is growing.
Here are some statistics:
- 58,000 children a year in the US are placed in the custody of their abusers when abuse is reported.
- Professionals downplay abuse, even though research shows over 90% of claims are valid.
- Abuse is dismissed even when there is evidence of abuse.
- Junk science and false claims are made against a reporting party.
- Custody evaluators often favor those who pay for the evaluation, who most often are the abusers.
- Protective parents spend on average over $100,000 trying to protect their child/children and 27% of them declare bankruptcy.
