8. In my case...my ex-husband never hit my kids

(that I know of, but I never left them alone with him, either. He would not allow me to have a job, so the only time I was away from them is when I had another baby and I was in the hospital). It wasn't until AFTER I left and he got visitation that things started happening (for which he hasn't seen them in 16 years.). My ex-husband did believe in spanking and did spank my daughters, but that was allowed under Maryland law. If that was considered endangerment or abuse, then they need to take away all the other kids who were spanked, too. Unfortunately, the children are likely not reliable witnesses anymore. I think research has proven that you can get kids to believe anything if you tell them enough times it happened.

I'm so sorry she is going through this. It must be devastating and I really hope that she wins them back.
