He also used to hit me and because of that I took my children. I am not pleased because I took him to court for child maintenance and physical abuse,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She said the government of Dominica has provided a comfortable home for her and her children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am quite capable of taking care of my children. Government has me a house. We are not hungry. My children are okay. I have two rooms. They have an upstairs and downstairs bed. I feed my children, I send them to school, and I enrolled them in a computer class. I also receive financial assistance from welfare for the children,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Warrington said the move will also set the children back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have been enrolled in schools in Roseau and government has already given me assistance for their school clothes, shoes and books. Their father lives in Calibishie and that means they will now have to go to schools there,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>She said on Wednesday she was ordered to give up her children by the authorities and she did just that, \u201cbut I will fight for custody\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot believe I took a man to court to support his children and he in turn went to the court and told lies about me and the court granted him custody. What madness is this?, she questioned.<\/p>\n<p>She said she promised her children that she will be back to \u201crescue them from under the wings of their abusive father\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A mother of four is up in arms about a decision by a local magistrate to grant custody of the children to their father.
