3 Women 3 Ways

The complications from domestic violence are far and wide, and we’ve talked with experts on physical assault, the children who witness violence, and even professionals who work with the offenders. Now it’s time we talk with someone who has lived the nightmare. Maralee McLean is a mother who faced the family justice courts to battle for the safety and custody of her children. The trauma, ignorance and failure of the family court and justice system led her to write, “Prosecuted But Not Silenced,” a book that has become a reference for not only judges and lawyers, but for other mothers fighting for their children. Maralee will be with us Saturday to talk not only about her personal struggles, but about the situation rampant in our family court system where the officials and decision makers are placing children in danger.
