⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5. I love Ky!
To add to my last comment due to lack of space is that abuse of a child is considered a CIVIL matter which means that if you don't follow the process of making a police report, going to CPS, and then trying to get custody via a court, YOU will go to jail and be charged with kidnapping if you act on your own. And A LOT of states have laws that make it IMPOSSIBLE for family to do ANYTHING to try to save abused children. The whole process and laws need to be changed.
My opinion on the family thing, based on my OWN experiences as an abused child, is that laws on that need to change because in MANY states, there IS nothing the family can do besides call the cops or try to get custody because the way laws on custody are made is that it is ILLEGAL to just go in and take the child even if you know about the abuse. It is considered a CIVIL matter and the family member has to go through a process despite the fact that that process fails.
