Metro Detroit domestic violence victim battles for custody of children

It is a story you will see only on 7 Action News, a mom says she was a victim of a traumatizing crime and called for help. She says she lost her children as a result of that call.  Erin Beaton says she used to be at everything for her two daughters. She coached her daughter’s Pom squad for 6 years, was active in dance, and volunteered at their church’s vacation bible school.  She loves being a mom.  “I didn’t deserve to lose them,” she says now. She cherishes the memory of the last time she saw her oldest daughter 14 months ago.
