( No Title )
This is the saddest thing I’ve seen in a while. When the youngest walked out, that empty hug she gave the mother was so telling. So devoid of any emotion. And the look on her face. So powerful.
Then the oldest, staying as far away from her mom as possible, keeping her eyes fixed on her probably out of pure fear and repulse. These are children! Already with such strong negative emotions towards a single person. It just breaks my heart.
I absolutely love children, and to see this is so sad. They don’t even want to go into the car because they fear what would happen just in the car ride from one location to another. I can’t imagine what they had to go through.
And to know that the court is giving them back to their mother makes this all the more tragic. There is clearly a problem when a legal system returns kids to the abusive parent, rather than to the one who clearly will love and support them. When you have to fight the legal system to save children from a life of torment.
This was back in 2014, so I really hope the father was able to get full custody of the kids, because this is horrifying, and they need to get out as soon as they could. Our legal system is built to move slowly, and time is something these children don’t have. Reading through the comments and on the father’s gofundme it looks like the he has joint custody, but not a lot has changed.
