we just want you to cry. right? or no, no, i want you to kill yourself. i want you to go in the bathroom and let your rest right now and lead out january 29th. with the holiday weekend. he came back sunday night. just enter age. remember and pushing my head back into the fall and then pulling me out by my hair. she started to choke my mom under water. so i got moms phone in, dial 911. i just remember that there, this guy, he had

a nurse. i was want to shoot to me and my mom and my sister called me in the rain to think are going to help you on department of children and families. it sounds like what you're saying that for as bad as the abuse was nothing compared to what dcf. nothing. carmen's punishment was that he spent 21 minutes in jail. and you've lost your kid . how do you go for being a mom to now being a mom? i mean in this episode a phone lines we traveled to florida to investigate an agency did a record of blaming, domestic violence victims for their abuse and then taking away their children. ah,

the me for months i've been speaking to women across the state of florida, who tell me that despite its intention to protect children, the florida department of children and families is causing more harm than last year . the agency separated more than 3000 children because of domestic violence. in april, i met a group of women who gathered at the state capital to protest dcf, the sign over here to prevent child abuse job. because they're the ones that are causing it. just come into your house without a warrant with that court order and take trial. it is a level of grief. i don't know how to put into our webster, didn't design a work for them. i don't know who we're supposed to be protecting here, but nobody's protecting us the,

the abuse or needs to be held accountable. not the mother and not the children in it's been 2 and a half years since dcf 1st separated lena hail from her 2 children. she lives alone now after lena's been husband car mine, lonia, i tac turned 2019 dcf placed her son lean at her mother's house. on weekday mornings, lena comes over to make him breakfast before school. he's 10 now paper boy, again for marina

johnson or she moves and every time i found the department separated lane from his stepfather car mine because witnessing domestic violence can have severe long term effects on kid. ok here, vote. but dcf also separated him from lena in, in the agencies view when carmen beat lena strangled her, she didn't do enough to prevent her children from witnessing anything william laying. let's go, buddy. give everybody a kiss. now, dcf doesn't consider her a safe parent. she's not permitted to live with either one of her children. ah, this is sort of normal routine. but we do great williams. do you miss having her here?

i'm 9030. as i my theories, i'm sorry. i think mom's or the thing that attracted me, there are the things i have heating about. he was just my mom in large and in charge. and when did car mine become physically abusive? i was with me. what was a push became like a choke or a grab? i got pregnant me . i was always on a shelf always because you know, i was always waiting for the other shoe to drop in,

but i think it's my nurse or for 32 months. and i think that was a comfort to her because there was so much screaming. i didn't want my kids to see for they hadn't found machines and hurricane fans. you say sound wise to me. i got smacking with the club room. i had those recorded calls because he was calling from the office where we had all of our records. when was this norma? after he talked to you like that very single day, picked up the child and throw it in the dumpster here. what i'm saying, you understand that the kept the recordings because she thought no one would believe or should she played them for the dcf investigators need anymore. ready ready ready no show and then kick me out from under me. and i go or ever going to show your title or

that before i do remember just plain bad though and in the dark and just like county days until the baby will be 18. the terms in your minister and your ability. everything back was january 29 me 2019 carmen was released from jail. soon after the attack, dcf scrutinized him and lena for the next 11 months. they learned that car mine had been arrested and charged twice for beating and strangling lena. they found evidence that his ex wife had also filed a restraining order against him. they learned the police responded to his workplace

after an employee said car mine had threatened him with a crowbar till the trial. well for system selected car mine at the same parent a judge awarded him custody of their 4 year old daughter. me. i called for help, i want it out and i so god finance the it's really shocking to me. hearing those recording where he is saying he was going

to break her jaw on and he would still get custody. i mean, that is really difficult to process. how does domestic violence result in a child being taken away from the safe parent? we tend to look at the mother's, it's her children and so she has to act to protect them. and if she doesn't do exactly what they think she should have done in that scenario, then come back fire on her and she can be accused of having to protect failure to protect under florida law. if a mother fails to protect her children from witnessing the domestic violence against her, she could lose her children. this is where the state lays out why they need to get involved with their children. the mother has continued to expose the children to the ongoing violence and danger of the volatile relationship. and that's why,

in this documented, argues that lena has failed to protect her children because she maintained a relationship with her abusive husband. what was your house like when you lived with carmen? i couldn't really sleep tonight because he was always screaming at my mom. one of the 1st questions i get is why doesn't she leave in 25 years? nobody's. there were came out to me and then why does this guy think he can treat his family this way? and to me, that's the question we need to be asking. her staying in the relationship is not a crown him putting his hands on her. that's a crop they're kind of damned if they do in them that they don't calling the law enforcement, the fear is really what that starts. and if you're running a risk of losing your children,

that's really scary place to be. we've heard so many women say they wish they would have never called the police. what does that tell you about the system that is broken and we need to work on it. any time the system is set up to prevent people from asking for help. where in trouble, plain and simple i i, usa to day publish this body camera footage from 2019 as part of an investigation into dcf. it shows what a child removal looks like in practice. came into this mother's life after a boyfriend beat, her strangled her and left her unconscious. in the agency's view, while she was unconscious, she had left her children unsupervised. he went now the investigator,

his tractor 2 boys to their daycare. are they not me? she's here to take them to foster home. ah right you are you're, you're dcf eventually returned her children. are they on down the desks were so bizarre, so cruel, that they made huge headlines and sparkle usa today found that in recent years, child removals for domestic violence in florida spiked dcf face criticism. it's a cycles, it works like a case of child to expense headlines and outreach public demands action. and in

response, dcf removes more children from their homes, both justified and not. in 2014 miami herald investigation found the dcf failed to prevent the death of almost 500 children. over a period of 6 years. in response, florida, lawmakers made it easier for dcf to separate children from their parents. ah, we wanted to understand the thinking behind these removal, but no one at dcf would talk to us. so we tracked down a lawyer, we used to work for the agency. how many child removals were you doing there? be some time certain days where you'd have 5 or 6 in the day. how many of those removal do you think were absolutely necessary to keep the children safe? that's probably like 510 percent of the cases that most i'd say in this way. and i felt like a monster. one thing that we were doing more to protect our job than protect

children a time. and there was a lot of, i hate to use the slang word, but the way was basically cover in your covering your ass and ration. you didn't want to make the wrong call and lose your job. right, right. anytime something happened with the child in florida. if god forbid a child, there are barrage of blame and you know, everybody's point fingers to the systems become very liability driven. we're doing the usb today. investigation also found that when dcf removed more kids from their parents, that created a need for new foster homes. the dcf failed to properly that the new foster parent, and as a result, the agency delivered some children to foster parents to then physically and

sexually abused them. dcf shouldn't be finding out about these things in, in the newspaper. january 2021. they'll work with dcf top official, responded to usa, today's findings at an oversight hearing. serial pedophile had over 30 of our children in his care. i'm not happy with the quality of that work. the quality of the work was poor at they stop removing children from loving families. they'll open up the bed and those good foster care for the children that really need it. and those children won't have to go someplace where they're going to be abused. we can't be defined by media story. there's a lot of, there's a 1000000, great things that happen in the system every day. me 1st, we have lena marie hale, be not also testified to miss hale. i am victim not only of domestic. i went to staffers some severe and battered women's syndrome, but also

a victim of this. just please mr. pablo, how me understand my abuse or custody of our daughter. papa resigned the following month. what exactly are you all asking for? we want you to have to have accountability, society as a whole, thinks that you're a bad person. and society needs to be educated, that that's not necessarily the fact. hi, beatrice. this is natasha from paul thought. mines requested interviews with dcf officials who could explain how the agency handles domestic violence and whether it's pursuing reforms. over a period of weeks, the agency declined multiple requests that we could schedule an interview. in his statement, dcf emphasize the consequences that witnessing domestic violence can have for

children. it is even more distressing. the statement said, the parents do not quote, take action to try and stop the cycle of abuse. i still wanted to understand what lena's case looked like from the inside. so i located the case manager who was in charge of lena during dcf investigation. i feel to understand how someone like her could lose custody of her children to the perpetrator of abuse. if they're not together and that has never hurt the kids physically, then there's no reason to believe that he's going to hurt his daughter. i wouldn't say that dad was unsafe as a parent, as a husband 100 percent. what do you remember about lena during that time, what i remember most about her? she's very anxious, i guess. okay, my job is not just metric. it's like that's not my end goal here. remember her being very scared and fearful of losing her kid or not being with her children or

the kids safe with lena, if i went to that hole myself into the home study, and not only did i believe that she was, you know, fit to have her children back was all parties agree that she was a safe parent may of 2019 was a turning point. in the case lena tested positive for cooking twice. according to dcf records. having the substance abuse problem, does that automatically mean that you're not a fit parent? not at all, not at all. it just depends on is she trying to parent while impaired? lena disputed the test as false positives. christiana said those denials probably heard her case. still, dcf never accused lena of abusing her children. this was christmas day, mcdonald. i got an hour with it, i guess, or a 1000000 years that i'd be at mcdonalds for an hour my kids on cuz i

was surprised that it ended up that way. especially when there was a caregiver in the grandparents. we're not seeing a lot of agree just cases of child abuse. what we see are parents are struggle when they get involved with the family because of domestic violence. they may uncover other issues like substance misuse paper. but we need to support them and helping them get to a better place, leaving them better than we found them. not making ours are always in my art. there's only been an instance of maybe one or 2 cases where i thought it was actually i just couldn't needed to be removed. i think it's widely misused. i. i don't agree with removing so many kids from home. it just as

a traumatizing them all over again. lena was one of christiane as last cases, before she resigned in 2019, she said she left the agency because she was doing more harm than good food work. where would you call chevy? less than a year to car my last attack on a judge granted, carmen custody of their daughter in a court order. he wrote the car mine was now safe because he had completed a batter's intervention program. there was no evidence that car mine had beaten or strangled anyone else, while under dcf supervision, the domestic violence was quote remedied. please leave your message for me,

carmen lonnie. i could not respond to her repeated interviewer plans for the program called fault lines. i was wondering if you might have some time to talk to me. where is your sister now? was it was online when a traitor of domestic violence, awarded custody of a child, the message, the child guess what my parent did was okay. and that, that's not a good message as horrible as it is for children when the semester roland. what is more horrible is that they don't with the accountability in body, you got your shoes on right. you got everything you need in order to get me away from my mom and what are your hopes for the future?

i gets a little why sister? again, are you happy? no. they used to be a lot when we 5 percent happy. i was sister. i the average person believe that when the child welfare service comes to a home and remove the child that that removal was warranted. i've heard a lot of people say, well, you know, these are outliers. these are al airs. this is the experience of survivors in general. oh, 1st me dcf closed lean, his case at this point. mean us, he's no clear path to getting her kids back me. a judge granted

lena one hour of visitation a week with her daughter during the cooper 19 pandemic. she's been limited to video, visit me during the visit. lena says her daughter, hold an ipad while carmen said just outside the frame on mondays, lena drops off these messages. her daughter at her school, i need about a year maybe, maybe $730.00 for an hour. one day they come and they have, you know, mommy white abandoned me. i can chose me try
