High Court finds secret recording can be used as evidence in DV case
While most recordings of private conversations are illegal, the High Court found the recording was allowed because it was necessary to protect the victim's "bodily autonomy and integrity".

Thank you, @SusanKLivio for your reporting! Eight years ago this week, Kayden was murdered. She was seven and knew she wasn’t safe with her father. May the Federal #KaydensLaw in VAWA reach every state! It is time a child has a right to leave abuse!

Ironic how those paid to be “experts” are the ones first to say children could not possibly make these decisions. The consequences of ongoing abuse are severe & put children in mortal danger. One safe parent is all a child needs; an unsafe parent is just that, unsafe & unhealthy.

NJ is listening to the youth! Huge win for child safety. Argument of drive at 16, etc. is a silencing pitch. Victims know if they are not safe. Time for children’s rights for safety to be acknowledged. Kids aren’t evergreen products for “experts.” www.nj.com/politics/202...

N.J. just gave kids a powerful voice in custody battles. It’s already dividing courtrooms.
Judges must now privately meet with a child who requests to be heard — and their rulings must mention the child’s wishes

Kentucky's equal shared parenting, 50/50 custody law criticized. These bills are just a short cut for abusers. Rational parents do what is best for the children, usually not 50/50 and abuse is often overlooked without this law. Better for kids is goal! www.courier-journal.com/story/news/p...

Solutions start with naming it and the acceptance that it has and is happened. Not everyone is going to have photo with a prince and the trafficker nor videos of 70 men raping you, not is going to have the strength to give up everything to speak the truth for they do try to take it all from you. 🧵

From the AI that unclothes a person, to the CSAM, to all the abusive behavior in pornography, to so many more blind eyes, I see a lack of hope for all who find themselves there. I see people who do not value life or others. I see people forgetting what life is about and focus on money & more more. 🧵

Catherine Campbell @catmcamp.bsky.social · 20/02/2026
When you don’t show the boundary, abusers will push to find it. I don’t believe abuse is healthy for the abuser. I believe there is such deep pain in a person who abuses a child, a sickness in them and if we don’t help, it will spread. That is where we are now, as we have been & it’s getting worse.🧵

Catherine Campbell @catmcamp.bsky.social · 20/02/2026
The blind eyes, those who DARVO their way out of abuse, the protectors of misogyny over safety for children are the ones who live in the village of access and acceptance of abuse. We must talk about it not to gossip or even shame but to help the abusers know their boundary & responsibilities. 🧵

Catherine Campbell @catmcamp.bsky.social · 20/02/2026
Children of abuse who told and were dismissed can feel responsible for the new children. Yet they are not the ones who are responsible, it is all who dismissed the first round of abuse. The patterns of those who make money off ongoing abuse, trafficking children through court, are responsible. 🧵

Spotlight film ends on a powerful note, fed story buried at one point, village to end abuse and village that allowed it. In Family Court, abusers often gain custody, no consequences for abuse. They can go on to have a new family and continue the cycle for nobody named it to end it. 🧵
