Children protected in Violence Against Women Act

Friend’s children were ‘kidnapped’ by vicious family court. He took his pain and did good.

He reported: The part I was lobbying for starts on page 305.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/3623/text?r=2

Synopsis:

The United States Federal government passed the Violence Against Women Act which includes Kayden's Law, a law that puts the safety of the child first in custody cases that involve domestic violence. The law is named for 7 year old Kayden Mancuso, who was murdered by her father when she was forced to spend time with him.

Included in VAWA are prohibitions against keeping children away from protective parents for arbitrary amounts of time until children stop reporting being abuse. There is specific mention of not using reunification camps that use threat therapy to torture children to force them to stay with abusive parents.
