AJ and Lisa Demaree were just a normal couple living in Arizona until the day they stepped into a local Wal-Mart to have photos developed. But a number of innocent bath time pics of their daughters landed them in a bureaucratic and legal nightmare, with state and city authorities seizing their children and invading their family's privacy.
In short, the Demarees received a crash course in what it means to be a non-custodial parent in America.
While NCPForce! sympathizes with the Demarees and wishes the family success in its lawsuit against Wal-Mart and the government entities involved in the case, it is necessary to point out that NCPs must deal with these same abuses on an every day basis. Luckily for the Demarees, they were able to regain their children and can now seek restitution for their horrible experience. But for many NCPs, all it takes is one false accusation from an ex to land them in jail on child abuse charges and to have all access to their children cut off.
We hope that the journalists, columnists, and bloggers who have expressed their righteous indignation over this story will show the same concern for all NCPs in the future.
