"Protecting Children"

 

A woman came to the NWLS office in Meadville (Crawford County) distraught because the father of her child had taken the child to Erie and would not return their daughter to her.  Although our client had lived with this man off-and-on for the first year of the child's life, they were now separated and living apart from each other.  Our client was especially worried because the man had moved into a rough neighborhood in Erie, and he had a history of drug abuse.  We drafted a Petition for Emergency Relief and presented it to the judge.  He signed the order and the child was back with the mother by the end of the day.
