In Georgia Investigation shows no Oversight of Guardians ad litem

An investigation into Guardians ad litem shows many of the same issues that have been seen across the country. No oversight, accountability or management of these court officers that can have such a huge impact on a child's life. When you get a Guardian ad litem that does not fulfill their role there is very little that one can do to remove them from the case. You - as a parent - are working within a dysfunctional system.

While this article and video is focused on Georgia the points that are brought up by the reporter can be applied in every state. "The mental anguish for my children and me has been huge," said Gracie Ortiz Terrett a parent that was interviewed for the piece. Gracie says what many have felt by the uncaring process and hurt that children and parents experience and can relate to.
