Children taken through secret courts in the UK

Below is a sad video about a mother who was a victim of domestic violence. Her child was taken as a result and put up for adoption. All of this was done in secret courts in the name of the “best interest of the child.” Don’t think that this could never happen in the United States. We are on the same path and have got to do something to stop it. Abuse does need to be investigated but the burden of proof must remain on the government. Kids staying with their parents is what is in the best interest of the child!
Maintaining the fundamental right of parents to direct the education and upbringing of their children is key and it can only be protected through a Constitutional Amendment. The reason that this is the only way is because of the source of the threat being federal courts and international law. Please join our campaign and help propel this amendment to a national issue. This is far broader than liberals against conservatives or Republicans against Democrats. It is about kids and their parents and how kids need their parents.
One last quick note, the last good Supreme Court case on parental rights, Troxel v. Granville, involved a mother fighting for her parental rights who was a victim of domestic violence. Even though the mom won that case, there are significant reasons to be worried about the precarious position of the child-parent bond.
