Been contacted by a mother who has been forced out of her home, by her 
husband, and sees her 14 month old twice a week.

Father 'stole' the children, and 14 month old went through abrupt 
weaning, and has been distressed and is very disturbed.  Mum still 
managing some nursing, now contact is re-established. but is being 
bitten and kicked, whilst child still tries to suckle.

She needs help with arguing her case, in the local divorce court, and 
generally knowing she has some local person to help her.

If you are in Seattle/Washington, and can be a support for this mother, 
please get in touch.  Obviously, no advocacy statement done from the UK, 
is going to help her in the slightest!
