A year ago, the Colorado legislature put new restrictions on the use of reunification therapy. The new law barred courts from restricting the custody of a parent who is competent, protective and not abusive solely to improve a relationship with the other parent. It prohibits reunification treatment that is predicated on cutting off the relationship between a child and a protective parent the child has a bond with.

State lawmakers acted after The Denver Gazette published investigations into Colorado’s troubled family court system, which has been plagued by accusations of bias, usually from mothers who say they are punished and can have their parenting time restricted during divorces when they seek to protect their children from abusive fathers.

During one troubled two-month stretch, four children were murdered in December 2022 and January 2023 by a parent embroiled in a high-conflict court custody battle. Police classified all four deaths as murder-suicides, in which fathers killed their children and then themselves.

Sounds like, even besides her own eye-witness accounts, she has good reason to be concerned. He already tried to kill his son once, and the son is probably going to testify in the child molestation case against him. This case, and reunification therapy, seem really fucked up.

Or the reason. Surely a man who says abortions are because a woman can’t “keep her skirt down” only did it because his wife was in danger, was raped, or the fetus wasn’t viable and not out of convenience or family planning right?

Which one of you lemmings in Milwaukee gonna go show off your 2nd amendment rights? Leave the tennis balls at home, tho!

Common core math calls that “friendly numbers”.

And yet you heard of them doing it to Stonehenge? And even a comic was made of it? Maybe angering people actually does give a farther reach.

The campaign told the Guardian it "does not respond to British propaganda outlets. We stopped doing that in 1776."

I know the Guardian isn’t propaganda, but that was at least a noteworthy burn.

I was out in the garden when a dude waked by. One of us waved, I don’t remember which, and the other waved back, sort of neighborly one hand up for a second wave. By the time he crosses the bush, he has turned back to cross my (luckily fairly large) yard, walking towards me. I run inside, and lock the door and yell at my SO to come downstairs there was a scary man at the door. SO confronts the man while I hide. Dude makes up a story about how someone yelled at him from our balcony, and he thought it was his friend. SO says he doesn’t believe him, and he better not show his face around here again if he wants to make it home alive.

Looks to me like people downvote you because all your comments are said in either a condescending or dismissive manner.

Edit: also that you are a free market boot licker which generally doesn’t sit well with groups of pirates, commies, and open-source users.

Other gamers are now trying to beat the 13-year-old's records, with many documenting their attempts on social media and video streaming websites.

And they probably will in time, but no one can take away being the first one to do so! Way to go kid!

Yeah, and let me tell you… Facebook’s motion does nothin for me, as big as it is…

Hmm… could this be why I like it better?

Edit: Also, what is active users? I’m “active” on Facebook about once a month, yet on lemmy at least an hour a day. One is more active than the other depending on the threshold.

How dare he judge them? That’s God’s job, and they will confess when they’re ready.
