re: #282 RogueOne

Let me tell you a story. My brother married a bi-polar woman and had 2 kids. They divorced in Indiana and he got custody because she’s crazy. She took the kids and ran to a shelter who hid her and put her on a bus to michigan. 18 months later when he found her he had to file for custody all over again because the state of MI decided they had been in state too long. Another year of lawyer fees and court costs and he again wins full custody so she goes to another shelter where they hid her and the kids and put them on a bus to Illinois. A year later when he finds her again the state of IL pulls the same stunt as MI and he had to go through another year of lawyer fees and court costs to, once again, win full custody. 3 different womens shelters hid her and the kids and footed her atty costs. I wouldn’t give a dime to a shelter.

Fair enough. But I will say that for your one story, there are 100 stories of women who were getting terrorized by their husband and went to a shelter to get safe and get out. I don’t know what you do about the case you describe - it’s certainly not the people at the shelters being bad people. It’s a bad person taking advantage.
