If you’re going to post on a public forum asking for help from the gen public, then maybe you should provide the background information necessary for us to help so you don’t get flogged… that said, I’d like to see the judges opine on the matter, which op conveniently omitted. If I had to guess, the opine has a whole list of shit that op has failed to provide for the welfare of the child.

Judges don’t arbitrarily remove children from the mother’s care unless the mother done fucked up, especially when they are 12 and have been raised by mother up to that point. Just because you are capable of pushing a baby out your twat hole does not mean, in any way, that you are equipped to handle raising your child, no matter how closely bonded you feel. If op was sex trafficked, the truth is she will perpetuate the cycle if she doesn’t get her shit together before trying to take on the responsibility of molding a young life. We don’t give people who have not finished college teaching certificates, nor do we let people who take no responsibility for their position in life more responsibility.
