Hello, thank you for taking the time to read and consider {~Name~} story. First, I don’t blame {~Police Department~}or the state of {~State Name~}for anything that has happened, the responsibility for this belongs completely to the state of {~State Name~} She met {~Friend Name~} 7 years ago when they were both homeless and moved to {~Second State Name~} to live with him at his mother’s property. This property is in the middle of nowhere in{~Second State Name~}, their closest neighbors were anywhere from 30 to 60 acres away. He did this to isolate her from her social support systems, which is something many abusers do to manipulate and gain control of their victims. She didn’t know the kind of person he was until she got pregnant, after which he continually tried to emotionally manipulate her into an abortion. He had not wanted children, though he made repeated promises of a life and family to gain her trust and lure her to the property. This is a large part of his cycle, he makes these promises and lures women (typically around the age of 22) to his mother’s property where he becomes possessive, controlling, and abusive. His family knows he does this and that he’s abusive, but they do nothing to stop him and instead enable him. He had done this with a woman before her, but she had realized his true nature before becoming pregnant and fled to safety. Additionally, he is currently attempting to manipulate another 22-year-old woman from {~Third State Name~} online and is making these same promises and luring her to the property. After the baby was born, he became increasingly verbally and emotionally abusive toward her and even committed these acts in front of the child at least every other day. She was living in a constant state of fear, and he manipulated this to further isolate her and take control of her life. Once she finally got the courage to leave him, he became highly combative and began using their daughter as a weapon against her. He then manipulated a judge into giving him primary residence with joint (called shared there) custody of their daughter, though she was the one who cared for the baby every day. His mother had gotten him an attorney while{~Name~} couldn’t afford one, which is another thing common to abusers using the legal system against their victims. Unfortunately, we have yet to create protections for women who are vulnerable to this form of attack. She got her own apartment, and the child lived there over 95% of the time. He did not adhere to his responsibilities, and if she said anything about it, he would take the child and hide her from{~Name~} for a week or two as “punishment”. He would not provide for his child or look after her in any way, and this made it hard for {~name~} to complete her college coursework or make money at her job as a Grub Hub delivery driver. He would have a family that had their children taken and then given back by DHS ({~Third State Name's~} version of DCS) watch her the few times he did take her, even though they are again under DHS investigation and about to lose their children permanently. The amount of abuse and neglect it took for DHS to become involved with this family is staggering, and their four children will deal with the emotional trauma they’ve suffered for the rest of their lives. This eventually caused her to lose the apartment and made her move back in with him on his mother’s property, which was obviously the goal of his behavior because her only other choice would have been to abandon her daughter with the abuser. His aggressive behavior and demands that she cooperate with his plans got so severe that he began to rape her in her sleep if she refused his advances, and she found out later that he was put in a boarding school when he was 12 after being caught molesting a prepubescent boy. The abuse they suffered eventually caused their child to begin trying to shield her mother from it and she developed severe psychological trauma, to the point where this four-year-old would say things like “I hope my dad kills you” to her mother. She finally gained the courage to seek justice for his abuse and filed an emergency restraining order, and the judge told her that the {~County~} Sheriff and DHS would investigate the issue. However, both the Sheriff of {~County~} and DHS failed to investigate anything, despite the Sheriff being informed that there are hours of recorded abuse. So, she grabbed everything she could and came to {~State Name~} where she had a support system, and then placed a new order of protection against him. Five days later {~Third State Name~} had her violently arrested in front of the child for a fugitive Criminal Restraint by a Parent (like {~State Name's~} Custodial Interference) warrant, and according to the attorney I got in {~Third State Name~}they are refusing to accept the Order of Protection from {~State Name~} I recently reached out to the {~County~} Sheriff’s office in response to a request for information I received from the {~Second County~} Sheriff’s office as the Order of Protection has not been served in over 30 days and was told by them that they did not need help finding {~Abuser's Name~} This refusal to follow {~State Name~}order is against Title 18 or the United States Code and the Interstate Compact, but they will not directly admit that this is what they are doing. I have proof of all of this, including the recordings of the abuse, the restraining order in {~Third State Name~}, and the Order of Protection in {~State Name~} and am willing to discuss this with you further. Apparently, {~Third State Name~}thinks it’s okay to punish victims and protect abusers, probably to keep their abuse case numbers down. This is a grotesque miscarriage of justice, and I am reaching out to anyone I can to bring awareness to these disgusting actions.
