That happens, all to often. We don't do divorces. The custody cases he has aren't too bad. The sad part is that too often, it seems, we are assigned cases where neither parent is any better than the other.....both exaggerate and lie; often times many are scum (both of 'em). It's refreshing when we get a case where we actually can really do some good for the child. All these kids are getting all screwed up though. It's really a tragedy.
I often felt that if I could get the kid away from both of them it would be for the best, but then you prosecute a foster parent for abuse and wonder if there is any justice for these kids after all.
