Help Valerie Valdez get her child back

Doação protegida
Go Fund Me for Valerie My name is Bridget Mollohan and my friend Valerie is going through an extremely traumatic experience right now. I’m hoping that whoever is able can find it in their heart to help her. Every little bit helps and adds up. Valerie lost custody of her daughter because of being accused of "parental alienation" as a result of her child speaking up about abuse. Her child's father has been "indicated" by DCFS for sexual abuse and the judge and therapist are aware of this but felt that the child being "alienated" from their abusive father was worse for the child than being kept apart from the mother that she lived with her whole life. After a medical examination that was done after the child complained about pain, DCFS was contacted by the hospital. For anyone unfamiliar with the term, "parental alienation", it was created by pedophile sympathizer Dr. Richard Gardner as a legal strategy to defend abusers. Richard Gardner was a legal consultant for Woody Allen and was known for claiming that many women were vindictive and falsely accused their ex-husbands of sexual abuse. Parental Alienation has been debunked by the scientific community because the criteria are extremely subjective and fit the same description as an abused child. Despite this, many unscrupulous attorneys, judges, therapists, and Guardian ad litems still use this profitable defense in custody cases. The only "proof" of this "alienation" is the child's unwillingness to be around their father as a result of this abuse, and Valerie not forcing her daughter against her will to do this. The judge used a report from a therapist that accused Valerie of parental alienation as the basis for having Valerie's daughter taken away from her and cutting off all contact between them. This therapist knew about the "indicated" DCFS report, but said he didn't believe there was abuse. Because Valerie believed her daughter and attempted to protect her, she was accused of this and the judge is not allowing her and her daughter to have any contact at all. This is commonly done in cases where the protective parent is accused of parental alienation. Because the father of her child has been indicated by DCFS for sexual abuse he is also not allowed to have contact with their daughter, however, the judge has court-ordered the child to live under the same roof as her father, in the custody of her paternal grandmother. Valerie has been punished for protecting and her daughter has been punished for speaking up. This has happened to so many parents that have tried to protect their children from abuse, to the point where many are afraid to bring up abuse concerns out of fear of losing custody or all contact with their child. Valerie is a single parent who is disabled and has suffered two strokes in the last two years. She also has Lupus and is presently using a cane because of all the inflammation, and likely stress. She is a great mom and has been doing everything she can to make the best life for herself and her 12-year-old daughter. Although she has many physical obstacles, she is more than capable of caring for her daughter, who is presently active in sports and on the honor roll. Her daughter loved living with her mom and they have a close relationship and enjoy drawing together and doing other things artistically. Valerie has never had any problems with addictions, legal problems, or any accusations of abuse (other than the unsubstantiated accusation of parental alienation). Unfortunately, she is also going through an extremely difficult custody case and is trying to protect her daughter. Between mounting legal fees, medical bills, and day-to-day living expenses, Valerie is struggling tremendously. She has been reaching out and exploring many different avenues for help and has agreed to allow me to find help for her in this way. Having previously been a single mom, I know how difficult it can be to support yourself and your child, much less have serious health problems and legal fees on top of it. Please help Valerie so she can pay her expenses and receive help to get her daughter back to safety. No matter what is contributed Valerie is grateful. And please share.
