When a child comes to his mother, begging her to ‘just settle’… to ‘just do what daddy wants’…
~ he is in tremendous pain ~
He understands why his mother is fighting. He understands what is at stake and what will happen to him.
But he is so afraid and exhausted. Although he has lived with his father’s rage and abuse his entire life, he is now forced to face it alone.
She left for their safety, but rather than ensure that safety, the court has taken away any ability for her to protect her son - and instead forces him into the hands of his abuser.
This child is so desperate, that he hopes if his mother stops fighting then maybe the abuse will also stop.
He has become the vent for his father’s rage. But abusive rage doesn’t always leave visible injuries, making it easy for judges to simply turn a blind eye - although this particular judge appears to regard occasional injuries as acceptable.
**Any judge that disregards the glaring red flags of abuse and coercion is as culpable for the suffering of the child as the abusive parent.**
