> Subject: Child custody case
>
>
> Hello, I recently read an article where anthropologists acted as expert witnesses in child custody cases. I came up on it reading an article about Margaret Mead and her work.
>
> I am a mother who lost custody of my children, 6 and 9 year-olds, for no other reason but that $$ always wins. I have learned that this has been the national trend in courts—working moms are viewed very unfavorably, as more and more honest, hard-working moms are losing their children in today’s court rooms.
>
> I’m just reaching out to see if there’s an expert or an individual who is studying this trend. Or for anyone who wants to take a closer look into this trend. I want to do something about this, because it’s simply not right—to deny the mothers their naturally given right to be one.
>
> Just a shot in the dark, thank you for reading! If you at all have any ideas or suggestions—please do let me know.

> Sincerely,
