Please watch "Trials of Gabriel Fernandez" and ask yourself if you are doing the right thing for children. Placing a child in an environment where CPS has to create a child safety plan and the partial guardian has multiple court cases for domestic violence is NOT a safe place for a child. At least consider supervised visitation. Do something, anything for these kids. It's not the childs responsibility to be subjected to mental/physical trauma while you are focusing on the well-being of the adult.
