Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 2185

Tonight's special guest is Stacy Stover from Kansas City, Missouri, a returning NAASCA family member who's a child abuse and domestic violence survivor, an activist and mother. "I've got a story to shock all child abuse advocates," she says. And she's been searching for someone to help her tell it. "I only dream of the day I can put all this behind me, and start healing with my girls, helping free others of the demons on this earth."  Last year, Stacy reported she was embroiled in a difficult marriage and was trying to extricate herself and her kids from her husband's control. Stacy's story now includes the critical situation she currently faces: her baby has been taken from her because she left an abusive man who wanted to continue to control her. After leaving her husband, Stacy found out he is a convicted child abuser. Stacy's paid attorneys did nothing to fight for her or to show these facts. She states, “when I fired my first attorney, my ex's lawyer filed a motion to get me back in court without representation, which I tried to motion verbally … and got kicked out of the courthouse and he was given sole custody of my daughter... since then my daughter has had rug burns on her back and a red irritated potty that the supervisor verbally stated she's [noticed] but says she's not going to report it and doesn't turn the pics over to law enforcement... something is going on and they are covering it up.” There have only been her husband's allegations that Stacy is an unfit mother, even though she has passed every drug test she's taken, and important information and photos showing possible sexual abuse of her daughter go unreported by her attorneys and the child's welfare supervisor.
