When a Brooklyn, New York domestic violence judge that was supposed to protect Aleah and her children stole her toddler son and gave sole custody to a drug addicted, alcoholic, and abuser, Aleah did not know what to do. It is indescribable and something out of the 'Twilight Zone' what she went through.In 2011 Aleah was ordered into this domestic violence court to address the crimes being committed on her and her children by her scorned ex-boyfriend who she shared a son with. After being assaulted and battered by this drug addict with a history of beating women and children unbeknownst to Aleah. She thought she would finally be safe if she went through the domestic violence system, which she avoided for over 3 years. However, once court-ordered into the domestic violence system her life was turned upside-down. She thought the abuse would stop. Aleah thought the harassment would stop, she thought stalking would stop, she thought the assaults on her children would stop, however, things became a million times worse than any normal human-being that believe and trust the justice system could ever imagine, pure evil.The judge, her 3 year-old son's lawyer and New York City Administration for Children Services aka ACS teamed up with Aleah's abuser against her and her children. This seemed to be the common policy, practice, and crime manipulating law for millions of domestic violence victims enslaved in this system Aleah would soon discover. They treated her and her children abuser as if he was their coworker and stole her child away from her, threatened arrest and jail if she tried to contact her child. Aleah discovered over the last twenty years these "Crime-Custody- Bait & Switch" courts have been silencing women and stealing their children under the guise of protection, safety, and best interest of the child. It is estimated that over 2 million children have been abducted by court orders and removed from their loving, caring, safe mothers to a life sentence with a rapist, abusers, pedophile or sociopaths that these secret circus courts are REBRANDING as good dads and protecting them too. All across America, for kicks and lucrative kickbacks judges, lawyers, ACS, CPS, mental health professionals, and so many others are profiting and benefiting from this crime-manipulating industry that is intentionally allowing torture, torment, abuse, rapes, maltreatment, and gross-harmful negligence against mothers and their children in these fake family court and domestic violence court proceedings. I wanted to share my story and let mothers, victims, and children know, "what is going on in these courts is pure evil, and there are good humans fighting for them." As Aleah continues to fall down the domestic violence-family court rabbit-hole more books will unfold. Aleas is working to help free children and mothers from this enslaving and vicious domestic violence system.
