dial 911. i just remember that there was a guy that he had a nurse. i was want to ship the items to me and my mom and my sister called me in arrange to think are going to help you on the apartment of children and families. it sounds like what you're saying for as bad as the abuse was nothing compared to what 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 of phone lines,

we traveled to florida to investigate an agency with a record of blaming domestic violence victims for their abuse. and then taking winter children. ah 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 sign over here to prevent child abuse of jo, because they're the ones that are causing and 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 work for the i don't know who were 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 i am finally after lena, then husband car mine lonia. i tack turned 2019 dcf placed her son lane at her mother's house. on weekday mornings,

lena comes over to make him breakfast before school. he's 10 now again, for marina dad, you are the johnson, she moves and every time i found the department separated lean from his step father car mine because witnessing domestic violence can have severe long term effects on kid. ok here. 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 for you, for william laying. let's go, buddy. give everybody a kiss. now dcf doesn't consider her a thief, parent, she's not permitted to live with either one of her children. ah, there is this a sort of normal routine. right? williams?

do you miss having her here? i am. 9030. as i my theories, i'm sorry, single mom. the things that attracted me to are they heating? he was just marjoram in large and in charge me handsome. when did carline become physically abusive? i was with any mine was a push. became 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 that in a little. 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 had found machines and hurricane fans. you say sound wise to me. i got smacking when i had those require calls because he was calling from the office where we had all of our records. when was this normal you did he talk 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 i kept the recordings because she thought no one would believer . she played them for the dcf investigators need anymore. ready ready no,

show me and then kick my feet out from under me. and i go or ever joking your titles before. i do remember just plain bad though and in the dark. and just like county days until the baby will be 18 in your minister and your ability are in january of 29 in 2019 herman 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 systems, electric car mine, as a parent, a judge awarded him full custody of their 4 year old daughter. 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 my mom, one of the 1st questions i get is waters and she, leach 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 chronic. him putting his hands on her. that's a crop they're kind of damned if they do in them that they don't

the call in the law enforcement. the fear is really what that start. and if you're running a risk of losing your children, that's a 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 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 and conscious in the agency's view. while she was unconscious, she had left her children unsupervised. now the investigator had tractor 2 boys to their daycare. are they not me? she's here to take them to foster home. the ah right you are i are your for your eventual returned her children. are they on down the dead were so bizarre, so cruel that they made huge headlines and sparkle usa to day found that in recent years, child removals for domestic violence in florida spiked after dcf based criticism.

it's a cycle that works like the baby, a case of child abuse made headlines, and outreach public demand action. and in response, dcf removes more children from their homes, both justified and not. in 2014 a 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. 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 hate saying this way and i sound like a monster. what i'm saying that we were doing more to protect our job than protect children a time. and there was a lot of, i had used the slang word, but the way was basically covering your covering your ass and situation. you didn't want to make the wrong call and lose your job. right. right. anytime something happened with a child in florida. if god forbid a child, there is 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 the agency delivered some children to foster parents who 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. if 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 from place where they're going to be abused. we can't be defined by media stories. there's a lot of, there's a 1000000 great things that happen in the system every day. first, we have lena marie hale lena,

also testified to miss hale. i am victim not only of domestic violence, efferson severe and battered women's syndrome, but also a victim of a system. please, mr. pablo, how may i 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. felts from paul 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. so we could schedule an interview in a 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 abuse. if they're not together and that has never hurt the kids physically, then there's no reason to believe 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. it's not just magic. it's like that's not my end goal here. but it's remember her being very scared and fearful of losing her kids are not being with her children. were 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 children back what all parties agree that she was the same parent may of 2019 was a turning point. in the case, lena tested positive for cocaine, twice according to dcf records. having a substance abuse problem, does that automatically mean that you're not a fit parent? not at all. not at all. it just depends on if she tried to parent while impaired. lena disputed the test as false positives. christiana said those denials probably hurt her case. still, dcf never accused lena of abusing her children. this was christmas day,

mcdonald. i got an hour with your i guess not yours that i'd be at mcdonalds for an hour with my kids. and i was surprised that it ended up that way, especially when there was the caregiver in the grandparents. we're not seeing a lot of regis 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 help them get to a better place, leaving them better than we found them. not making errors are always in my way. 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 for moving so many kids from home. it just as 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 after carmen's last attack on a judge granted. carmen custody of their daughter in the court order, he wrote the car mine was now safe because he had completed a batter's intervention program. there was no evidence the car might have beaten or

strangled anyone else, while under dcf supervision, the domestic violence was quote, remedied. please leave your message for carmen. lonnie. i did not respond to her repeated interview requests with a 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 to awarded custody of a child, the mess of the child, guess what my parent did was okay. and that, that's not a good message as horrible as it is for children with domestic violence. what is more horrible is that they don't witness the accountability body. she 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? but i get a little sister again. are you happy? no, hulu. they used to be a lot when i was like 5 percent happy with history. i. the average person believes 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 outliers, this is the experience of survivors, and the child will ah,

dcf closed lena's case, at this point, mean us, he has no clear path to getting her kids back me a judge granted, lena one hour a visitation a week with her daughter. but during the cooper 19 pandemic, she's been limited to video visits. during the visit, lena says her daughter, hold an ipad while carmen said just outside the frame and mondays, lena drops off these messages for her daughter at her school. i am an attorney about a year, maybe, maybe $770.00 for an hour. one day they come and they have, you know, mom white abandoned me. i can chose mom try

in february 2021. the crippling storm to down texas is power grid. 4000000 people plunged into darkness with no heating. many died from hypothermia, with hundreds suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning, as they tried to stay with them any way they could plunge investigates where the use of the regulation and prioritizing profits led to the state's power grid failure. the texas blackout on jesse era. and i have on john last washing and asia and africa, there'd be days where i'd be choosing and editing my stories in
