Prof. Evan Stark reports as follows on the "STOP ABUSE CAMPAIGN" website:
"The response by Connecticut Family Courts to abused and protective mothers and their children is remedial, punitive and a public embarrassment, particularly given the State’s pioneering role in protection orders, court-based advocacy, mandatory arrest, specialized law enforcement and training for health, child welfare, police and family relations professionals. Once a model for surrounding states, Connecticut’s piecemeal reforms have left a widening gap between the Family Court response, reform in other states and best practice recommendations by major professional organizations such as the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges."
