⭐ My Daughter Is Not Safe. I Need Help to Protect Her.

Hi, my name is Anna.

I’m a single mom, and for six years I’ve been fighting to protect my daughter from a man whose instability, violence, and escalating behavior make her deeply unsafe.

We go to trial in January.

And I need help to keep her safe through this process.

⭐ Why I’m Afraid

My daughter’s father has a long history of behavior that has left me terrified of what he might do if he ever had unsupervised access to her.

I have watched him spiral into paranoid rages, stalk people he fixates on, disappear for months, destroy property, lash out violently, and devote hours — sometimes weeks — to trying to “take down” people he thinks wronged him.

He has justified everything he’s ever done.

And when someone can justify everything, they become capable of anything.

That is the part the court has not fully seen.

My fear is painfully simple:

If he ever gets her alone, I don’t know if I’ll get her back.

And even if he didn’t run, I fear she would come home harmed, shaken, or forever changed by his unraveling state of mind.

She’s only six.

She deserves safety, stability, and a childhood untouched by another person’s sickness.

⭐ Last Week Everything Escalated

After I told him we couldn’t make a supervised visit, he exploded online in a way that shook me to my core.

He posted my full name and our home address.

He accused me — and dozens of others — of unspeakable things.

He even named his own father as someone who “has paid to r*** our daughter.”

He posted other families’ home addresses.

He spiraled into delusions involving almost fifty people.

And then he posted about a samurai tradition where a new sword is “tested” on a defenseless person in the night.

To me, this was not symbolic.

This was a threat.

I called 911.

⭐ DCF Became Involved

When he posted those horrific accusations and our home address, I contacted the authorities.

Law enforcement and DCF responded immediately, and they handled the situation with care.

The DCF investigator, especially, was one of the first people in this whole process to truly understand the seriousness of what has been happening.

For years, I’ve heard some version of “there’s not much we can do,” but she didn’t minimize anything.

She saw it clearly.

She took it seriously.

And for the first time in a long time, I felt like someone in the system actually understood what I’ve been trying to protect my daughter from.

⭐ And Then the Loopholes Appeared — Again

This week, the investigator told me they met with him alongside law enforcement and a mental health professional.

Because he didn’t say certain specific phrases, there wasn’t a legal threshold to take further protective action in that moment.

This stirred a fear I’ve carried for years:

He knows how to present himself just well enough to slip through the cracks.

He has done it before.

Over and over again.

And that ability to navigate loopholes is exactly what terrifies me as we approach January.

⭐ A Small Victory — And Why I Still Need Help

During the DCF investigator’s visit, it happened to be time for my daughter’s scheduled phone call with him.

In just 4 minutes, he told her:

“I don’t know if I’ll ever see you again.”

“Your mom is trying to put me in jail.”

“I might be gone for 3 or 5 years.”

“I might not live much longer.”

“Your mom might go to jail too.”

My daughter was terrified.

My lawyer filed an emergency motion to suspend visits and calls.

And the judge granted it.

For the first time, someone in the system stepped in to protect her.

I feel relief — finally, the wind shifting —

but we are far from safe.

The investigations are still ongoing.

Trial is still coming.

And I cannot face January without proper legal representation.

⭐ Why I Need Financial Help

For two years, I had a free lawyer.

It nearly cost me my children.

I cannot walk into trial unprotected.

Here’s what I urgently need:

$3,000 — attorney retainer

$5,000 — trial retainer (before January)

$400 — counter-petition filing

$800 — mental-health evaluations (court-required)

Every dollar goes directly toward keeping my daughter safe.

⭐ How You Can Help

Even small donations genuinely move us forward.

$20 helps with transportation

$100 helps with filings

$400 pays for one evaluation

$3,000 covers the attorney retainer

$5,000 secures the trial retainer

If you can’t donate, sharing this truly helps.

⭐ The Truth I Wish I Didn’t Have to Say

My daughter is not safe with her father —

not because of conflict,

not because of disagreements,

but because of a long, painful pattern of violence, instability, and escalating delusions that involve threats, public accusations, and dozens of innocent people.

Last week proved everything I have been trying to warn the court about for years.

I finally feel seen.

And I finally feel like I might be able to protect her —

if I can get through trial with the right legal help.

Thank you for reading.

Thank you for believing us.

And thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for helping me protect my daughter’s safety, her innocence, and her joy.

With love,

Anna
