Explain Framing

Framing emphasizes domestic violence advocacy, systemic legal bias against protective mothers, and child mental health support needs. Center: Framing reports court filings, evidentiary video submissions, and legal hearing dates neutrally without taking sides. Right: Framing highlights father's rights in custody disputes, child safety enforcement, and accountability regarding parental conduct.
