Information from Stop Family Violence:
Hi All –
I’ve just been contacted by a producer at a major media outlet who is looking to do a story on moms who have lost custody to an abuser who was rich and/or well-connected and/or powerful. (perhaps he was a cop, a lawyer, a judge, a psychiatrist, a corporate exec, etc)
At a minimum the story will be published online on a site w/high visibility to women. Possibly leading to placement on morning news program or other court related TV programming. The journalist is willing to do interviews in shadow and/or use pseudonyms to protect identify if needed.
Tight deadline- need by today if possible, Friday if necessary.
First Name (required)

BRIEF (approx 500 words) description of your situation that includes the following
How long you were together
His position of privilege/power – was he a cop? A judge? A corporate exec? Etc..
1-3 examples of how he abused you or your children
Summary of what happened when you went to court – how much money you/he spent, whether you/he had attorneys, any egregious thing that happened by the judge, the evaluator, etc.
The outcome – who has custody now? What is your life like?
Please keep the above scenario as brief as possible –
