Can I take a few minutes of your time ?!
Many of you know our story!!!
After two years… I finally got the courage to start our business/support group. 🙌🏼 It wasn’t the two years that gave me the courage. It was sitting along the sidelines watching my families every tear, heartbreak, sleepless nights, and every other bad day that came our way. I caught myself many nights asking myself ” What can I do? “

We were turning home from a family vacation when we got a disturbing knock on the door. It was two APD officers stating a child was being withheld from his mother. Which was far from the truth. She had been in and out of his life for almost 4 years due to drug addiction along with not having a home and being able to provide. Which have evidence of all of this. The children weren’t even a priority for her to call or text.
She kept the child that was my husbands from us for almost 3 months. Every time we tried to see him APD said “ There was nothing we could do. Handle it in court. “
We filed for emergency custody in early March. The court date came in May, She admitted in the court room she had abandoned her children for the use of drugs and not being able to provide.
She finally started letting us see him due to the courts informing her my husband had rights.
We have multiple different forms of evidence proving the children is better off not in the care of the birth mother.
A few weeks went by,
When they gave her custodial custody of the child. Also demanding to pay $120 in child support every Friday. Mind you she doesn’t have a place of her own and isn’t able to get a place due to the number of innovations along with a active case open for property damages. That she has a failed to appear multiple times.
Indiana shouldn’t be a Mothers state ‼️
Fathers matter too ‼️ They have rights too!!!
She will go out of her way to make sure we don’t have phone calls with the child. We sent his phone over with him just to make sure we were able to communicate along with an emergency.
Wednesday, August 10.
My husband and I received a calling stating my stepson and his brother had been left alone at home. We immediately called APD…
My husband couldn’t reach his son after telling him I’ll call you right back okay? He agreed okay!
His brother ( age 9 ) who comes off very aggressive was home with him.
Which he has stated his brother has been very mean to him. His brother recently pushed him down and busted his head open.
His phone was going voicemail at this point. By the time APD got there someone was pulling up in the back and they said “ There was nothing they could do regarding they couldn’t dictate how long the kids were alone. Nor there isn’t a law stating you can’t leave your kids home alone.

So we are able to leave toddlers home alone nowadays ? No matter what their age because there isn’t a law.
I am worried for the safety of children who are in a terrible environment due to the courts not playing attention to obvious evidence. Innocent lives are being given to one’s who don’t even care about their own. 
Our son has a room of his own at our house.( Doesn’t share a room with parent and sibling) A bed and a frame. (Not a mattress on the floor with ants under it) He has a whole wardrobe (Not a few outfits for the week) He has a belt (Not a shoe-tie as a belt).
Indiana court systems have not failed our child but the State of Indiana, Indiana Department of Child Services. All the evidence under your nose but not playing attention.
SO HERE WE ARE 💙 Stand with Dads of Indiana, a support group 1st and Business 2nd 🙌🏼 Where we take everyone’s feeling’s into consideration. I believe in many court cases and other situations. The court system look’s at a male figures differently. Father’s need their stories heard too
