The California family court’s questionable handling of one celebrity’s high-ticket divorce case has caused the discussion over the link between family court corruption and child safety into the mainstream media spotlight. Much of the attention comes thanks to the efforts of major celebrities affiliated with the Children’s Justice Campaign, a ground breaking new charity with a focus on placing child welfare before legal industry profits.
One might expect corrupt child custody decisions to come from corrupt patriarchies like Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia, yet the American courts are also known to run illicit businesses, and frequently place children into the hands of predators, even pedophiles and murderers.
On August 16, over 100 elite celebrities and professionals gathered in the Hamptons at the Water Mill estate of George and Joan Hornig to raise over $22,000 for the Children’s Justice Campaign to raise awareness about the issue.
Last month, “Gossip Girl” actress Kelly Rutherford’s controversial international custody case was featured on the cover of Hamptons Magazine. At the event, Rutherford told Extra that the reason she founded the Children’s Justice Campaign in 2014 with Patrice Lenowitz was “to bring awareness around a system that really doesn’t seem to be acting in the best interest of children.”
