Bartholomew case

The Bartholomew case has exploded into a national scandal. An Alaska judge has ordered three terrified children back into the custody and “reunification therapy” of their accused abuser, John Bartholomew, even as Utah authorities conduct an active criminal investigation into his alleged sexual and physical violence. Their mother, Michelle Bartholomew, is now hunted by the same court for refusing to hand the children over. Medical experts, brain-scan evidence, and child-advocacy leaders say the Alaska court is forcing torture. Advocates call this one of the most shocking family-court abuses in America today—and demand federal intervention before the children disappear forever.
