Bring Michael Home: Support Brianne's Fight

Brianne is a domestic violence survivor; however, her abuser has gone against a court order and is using their son to continue his abuse and control over her by withholding him for over five months.

After years of suffering in silence, Brianne was forced to run from her home with her children when her husband began focusing his abuse on his stepdaughter. It took over a year of her and her children being homeless, battling through a tumultuous divorce, for her to establish a beautiful home for her family, all the while being harassed by her and her daughter's abuser and his family. Now he has gone against a court order and has hidden her youngest child from her for over five months.

For over five months, her sweet baby boy hasn't felt the warmth of his Mumma's embrace. He hasn't seen the adoration in her eyes. He hasn't played video games with his sisters or ping pong with his Puppa. He hasn't even had any of Grandma's fresh-baked cookies in nearly half a year. During this time, he hasn't been permitted to go to school except for a few weeks, hasn't been permitted to talk to his Mom on the phone, or even respond to the hundreds of text messages she's sent him telling him how much she loves and misses him.

Brianne's abuser and family are spreading horrendous lies about her and her home, all of which she has cooperated as they've been investigated and one by one dismissed. Her abuser, however, is not cooperating with the investigation. Her abuser even went so far as to employ a friend of his who calls herself a life coach who specializes in changing habits, like the habit a young boy might have of needing and wanting his Mumma. He's also employed biker gangs to park in front of the courthouse to intimidate her at court hearings and harass her and her daughters at their home.

Brianne continues to file the proper paperwork and awaits yet another court date; however, she fears that because her abuser hasn't followed the court's orders thus far, with his family and friends aiding him, she will eventually need to hire a private investigator to locate her son. She's working double shifts at her job, trying to keep her bills and lawyer paid.

There has been some progress made in court, and Brianne and her son have been reunited, however the court battle is not over. Her abuser continues to use lies and intimidation tactics, and Brianne continues to struggle to pay her legal fees.
