Tell Florida to override judges who removed kids from fit mother

A father previously hit with a nine-month-long restraining order for acting violently toward his two kids has been given custody of the children - courtesy of Florida's courts.

Why is this important?

My Gainesville-raised children were removed from me - deemed fit by the judge and placed with their father, who was ordered in the past to take anger management classes. The children, ages 8 and 11 have both said they wish to stay with their mother, but were not given the opportunity to testify. The case is yet another example of the courts taking sides over alleged - but unproven - accusations of parental alienation. Tell the state's family courts why custody decisions should be made in the best interest of our children.
