Who do children belong to? - by lyz - Men Yell at Me
In Colorado, a mother is in jail for opposing court-ordered reunification therapy between her sons and their father. The father, a former police officer who is accused of rape and sexual assault of his biological and adopted daughters, remains free.
The case is a complicated one. The father made headlines as one of the responders to the mass shooting in Aurora, Colorado, in 2012. But he has been accused of a number of instances of physical and sexual violence, largely by his own children. Some of the accusations predate the Aurora shooting, after which he experienced post-traumatic stress disorder.
He was also sued for police brutality after a 2015 incident in which he and three other officers assaulted a woman, according to the Denver Post.
The father is now seeking custody of his two youngest boys, who have been ordered to undergo court-ordered reunification therapy.
