This week, we continue our deep dive into the family court system with an exclusive interview featuring Rachel Pickrel Hawkins, whose story made national headlines. Sourced from The Washington Post, Julie Roys’ investigative work, and Rachel herself, we explore the events that led to her arrest for interfering with reunification therapy. Rachel shares her harrowing experience of fighting for her children’s safety after alleging that her ex-husband—a police officer—sexually assaulted their child and abused their son. We’ll discuss how the court system and reunification therapy impacted her family and examine the systemic failures that put protective parents in impossible situations.
