THE PUBLIC RECORD.

Every number below comes from a family who filled out the survey. Contact details stay private; public quotes and names follow each family’s sharing choice and a separate human review.

This page is the numbers — totals, states, losses, PDFs. The named people with photos and share slides live on Court Actors.

HOW YOUR STATE GETS ITS REPORT

Every state and country becomes eligible for its own downloadable PDF report at 30 family submissions. Not there yet? The bar below shows exactly how many more voices your state needs — and every survey shared moves it.

COME BACK — THIS PAGE NEVER SITS STILL

Aggregate counts update as family submissions are incorporated. Quotes and court-actor records appear only after they meet the review and publication rules. The “latest” column shows when another family most recently submitted; it does not mean an unreviewed story was automatically published.

In families’ words

Kept child in an abusive home where she has faced severe trauma, also kept me (mother) in trauma response living. Severe emotional, mental, and physical abuse the court will not let us escape from.
