I'm repeating the statements made in court, in court documents. Child Protection advocated for the termination of parental rights of my client because they speculated that she was lying when she said she didn't know her husband was hitting the kids and that she couldn't ever break free of him and the cycle of DV.

The judge found that there was no evidence of abuse or neglect. He further found that my client's husband exercised corporal punishment/discipline that was allowed by the law. Therefore she didn't see anything because there wasn't anything to see.

The children have been returned to her for summer vacation, perhaps longer and the termination complaint was dismissed.
