>>12603533In this 72-hour period, your kid is for roughly 14-18 hours a day interrogated and constantly bombarded with people who don't know anything about you or your family except:
>Your dad is a bad person>He molests you, doesn't he?>He beats you too, huh? Man, look at those bruises from that spanking, we need to get a doctor in here for you>Your mom got money to make you do scary things to grown men, didn't she?>Do you get to eat three times a day? Do you get full plates every day?>Did your parents send you to bed without food? They're trying to starve you, aren't they?This goes on and on until your kid is broken, confused, angry, sad, and just wants life to go back to normal until Monday when it's family court day.
2) Your kid simply turns into OP's post. Just taken and vanishes until X years later if they survive.
>family courtSo, a few more things to point out
1)Family court is a quasi civil-criminal legal zone. You're not being tried as a criminal, but there are criminal charges (neglect, ect.)
...a) Because of this, you don't receive a public attorney. This is civil with criminal elements. You need to pay for a lawyer or go pro bono
2) Children don't have rights. Even if you're a million-dollar sugar daddy, unless your kid demands a lawyer in this 72-hour window, nobody can intercede for your child and *everything* he says in that interrogation room is only going to help the state steal your kid.
3) This is a guilty until proven innocent kangaroo court. You either have to get your child released back into your custody via legal loophole or convince the judge that you're competent enough to get your kid back
So now it's Monday. You haven't seen your kid for three days, you're sick to your stomach, everything has been bawling their eyes dry, you don't know what's happened. You don't know anything. You gotta get a day off work, it's first thing in the morning, and you need to go through the rigors of the court itself.
