Colorado moms tackling family court reform one child at a time.
Moms Fight Back is a 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) non profit: We do policy and advocacy work that drives initiatives both at state and national level designed to change systems that impact child maltreatment. Passing legislation for family court reform to bring forward transparency and accountability. Our vision is a world in which all children grow up safe, healthy and free from the devastating trauma and often life-long health and mental health consequences living free from a life of child abuse, sexual abuse, and trauma. We are passing legislation for courtroom reform and developing research by awareness, knowledge and action.
WHY FAMILY COURT REFORM?
Each year, approximately 58,500 children who seek protection from abuse through the U.S. family courts are ordered into the custody of a violent or sexually abusive parent. When a parent is accused of child abuse by the protective parent the abuser gains full or partial custody 90 percent of the time. The people who are supposed to be protecting these children (judges, custody evaluators, court appointed specialists, social workers) are failing miserably.
"A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity; it dares all things and crushes down remoreslessly all that stands in its path."
Agatha Christie
