This brief was written in response to a child welfare case involving two young girls who have been victims of sexual abuse by their Father. The Trial Court denied the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services’ petition to terminate father’s parental rights and, in so ruling, ignored serious physical and psychological evidence of abuse, choosing instead to follow a false narrative that Non-Respondent Mother coached the child into the disclosers. The Michigan Court of Appeals affirmed the Trial Courts decision and abused its discretion by concluding, contrary to Michigan law, that Non-Respondent Mother lacked standing to appeal. CHILD USA urges the Michigan Supreme Court to grant leave to correct the clearly erroneous decisions of the lower courts that endanger children across the State of Michigan and undermine the quality of the national body of child welfare case law.
