In an especially horrible Custody Crisis case, a mother was violently beaten by her husband to the point where she needed surgery. She left him—but then the inevitable occurred.
A California judge, infamous for switching custody to abusive and molester fathers, gave him sole custody. This allowed him to disappear with her children and alienate them from her.
Alica did not hear anything from him or her kids for ten years.
