Appleton Post-Crescent: Your Fox Cities News Source - Safe Exchange spares kids of parents' strife: "Until last year, estranged parents had little choice but to swap visiting children in fast food restaurant parking lots or in police station lobbies.
These venues became new battlefields in still-unresolved wars.
'Parents are fighting, calling each other every name in the book and having physical altercations,' said Outagamie County Family Court Commissioner Lisa Beth VanderMaazen. 'We even had a case where a child was dropped.'
Sometimes, child custody exchanges turn violent. On Jan. 31, 2004, David Larsen hit his ex-wife over the head with a baseball bat when she arrived at his Racine County home to pick up their children. She was near death when rescuers found her, stuffed in a garbage can in an unheated storage unit."
