Our Story
My daughter is everything to me. I've raised her on my own since she was just a month old, nurturing and loving her with all my heart. However, a troubling situation has arisen. Her mother, who has made strides in rehabilitating her life, has requested through the Citrus County Court in Florida to have parenting time in Cincinnati, Ohio during the summer. Sadly, she currently resides in a domestic violence situation, subject to a standing injunction as of 4-2-2026, which she has opted to violate. The Citrus County judge presiding over our case inexplicably chose not to address my concerns for our daughter's safety. Now, my daughter has been forced to relocate 1000 miles away for two months where she will be forced to live with a dangerous individual.
Our Problem
In Florida, there is no legislation that prevents a child from being exchanged with another parent when there is a domestic violence situation present in that parent's home. This glaring legislative gap places countless children at severe risk of physical and emotional harm. Every year, children are put in precarious positions due to judicial oversights and existing legal frameworks that fail to prioritize their safety.
Our Partners
As we spread our cause, we will collaborate with various organizations and advocates throughout Florida to enhance our educational efforts. Through partnerships, we aim to provide comprehensive resources, support networks, and advocacy initiatives for those children affected by domestic violence. By joining forces with local shelters, legal aid organizations, and community activists, we strive to create a united front in addressing these urgent issues.
