(The video title is misleading. 19 children haven't been killed by a single perpetrator but by several, all men except one.)

I'd no idea that perpetrators of domestic violence are routinely given access by the family courts to their children after they split from their partner/spouse - even if (as in the case described at the start of the recent video below and in the articles) the perpetrator has abused the mother and children, the children are scared of him and don't want contact and the mother has told the court he's capable of killing them.
