Being “unfounded” doesn’t equate no actual abuse for so many abuses cases are dismissed and minimized! Instead of naming abuse, the cases get closed. Look at #TommyValva. The cost of ongoing abuse is millions to countries, death of children & leads to generational abuse.

Why Do We Allow Child Marriage in America?

Every other child marriage is abusive to me.
How can CA allow this?

The cost of neutrality & “pro-contact” with a named abusive parent by dismissing abuse, the victim, the protective parent (blaming them) helps nobody including the abuser. It weakens society, destroys trust & encourages ongoing abuse. Courage to name the abuse & protect is needed!
