Dear (Editor),
I am writing to inform you of a potential story. Within this county, (judge’s name) of the family court has ordered children into abusive situations. It seems to be a regular practice of (judge’s name) to order or allow custody plans and visitation schedules that traumatize children.
This is emotional abuse and warrants immediate investigation. As this is (Judge’s name’s) practice, local attorneys such as (attorney’s name) thrive off the system that the judge has created. These attorneys promote emotionally abusive custody agreements, encourage individuals to enter them and enforce them in (judge’s name’s) court. These custody plans and visitation schedules are directly harmful to children. As a sitting judge and a practicing attorney, (Judge’s name and lawyer’s name) have an obligation to protect children from abusive situations, and the opposite of protection continues to happen. I would request that you immediately investigate these individuals and report your findings.
Based on psychological research and statements from the American Psychological Association, repeated separation from parents directly causes trauma, higher aces scores and can lead to depression, anxiety, and lifelong psychological issues, even suicide. For children throughout this country and in the jurisdiction in which (Judge’s name) holds office, emotional child abuse symptoms are seen in numerous cases. Despite seeing these symptoms, (Judge’s name) continues to substitute (his/her) opinion for the best interests of children. Knowing that emotional child abuse is ongoing in countless family homes and doing nothing about it is the definition of disregard for these children and the definition of a judge that should not be on the bench.
Emotional abuse is every bit as damaging as sexual abuse. Despite pleas for help (Judge’s name), repeatedly does nothing to help these children. The US Department of Justice has defined domestic violence as an act that harms the relationship with one’s children. These court decisions are harming parent’s relationships with their children. It is domestic violence. I have attached empirical evidence detailing the harmfulness of the visitation schedules and custody plans put into place by (judge). I hope that this research will prompt you to improve children’s lives and protect them from abuse. Furthermore, (attorney’s name) takes advantage of (judge’s name’s) preference for these types of custody arrangements to push litigants into these types of arrangements, knowing full well that these arrangements are harmful to children. This is not an individual that should be practicing law.
Attachment A is a press release that defines emotional child abuse as bad as sexual abuse, if not worse. The press release is from the American Psychological Association dated October 2014.
Attachment B: is a letter from the American Psychological Association that explains with empirical evidence and decades of psychological research from the most prestigious psychological organization in the United States that “IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD AND THE FAMILY TO KEEP FAMILIES TOGETHER” and the sudden and unexpected family separation of parents and children without any doubts causes.
