BAD LAW GUARDIAN

Ms. Bestine was assigned as my children's law guardian for several yrs. She never believed anything I said. She interviewed my oldest child for more than 2 hrs and didn't believe her testimony of abuse she suffered from my ex-called her a liar. My ex was convicted on 6 counts of child abuse and she s...uppressed that evidence and had custody taken from me and gave him my children. She convinced the judge that I needed to be investigated based on my ex's word. I went almost 6 yrs of supervised visitation and the investigation showed I was a good parent and my ex was the problem. She is very unprofessional and often yelled and cussed at me when I called to tell her that my ex was not complying with court orders. She would tell the judge that she met with my children when in fact, my children said they had not seen or spoken with her in YEARS
