The Layne Project Reviews

Leaving your kid in a dumpster would be better supervision
I had the misfortune of having my abusive ex have supervised visitation here. He stalked me on pick up and drop off even coming in then claiming he didn't know there was a visit that day in front of the director? Nothing was ever reported. They instead wrote glowing reviews for his whopping three visits. It was due to this he was moved to "monitored" visits. His first non supervised visit my baby came back with bruises. No one would even look at my child, Bridget Jenner told me that to "email [her] was fine". Upon the second day of finding more bruises after only a 3 hr visit Bridget Jenner informed me if I could make it back to TLP before they closed (in 15 min) she would take a look. I called the police instead who then filed a CPS report. To this date they still have failed to provide the pick up and drop-off times of the monitor of the day in question. Thankfully I moved out of the state so was able to get my daughter away from these people. The turn over rate of the monitors was unbelievable and I would never hire a single one of them to be a babysitter let alone be third party to something so important as supervised and monitored visitation.

More harm than good
2015 / 16 Court ordered child advocate services. Bridget Jenner began an interview with my teen by saying "So your dad said some bad stuff about your mom." Which I made sure I did not. I would imagine any normal person would react by defending her mother and possibly even criticizing dad. The "advocate" then conveys these statements to the court in a super secret report. The judge can then justify her initial belief that dad is a jerk. The judge even said "The most damning testimony came from your daughters!" The Layne Project can garner favor by echoing the courts feelings. Then be recommended for post divorce counseling between father and kids. I will work towards healing the pain of the divorce with my children. I will do so without The Layne Project. The business of divorce is shameful.

Horrible President
I would never recommend this organization. The attached picture is the President a Kansas Attorney. And not a good Attorney at that. She makes legal decisions for other people's children. She can't even handle her own. Her 17 yo step daughter arrested for driving under the influence. Judging by the picture she is following her step Mothers lead. Why would a person in Ms Nudsens position post such a picture on social media, yet condemn other people. Nudsen is listed as President of the Layne Project, which I can only assume was named after her step daughter whose name is Layne. I would never recommend anything associated with Ms Nudsen. She is extremely dishonest.

Poor excuse
I would never recommend the Layne Project. The photo attached is considered President of the Layne Project. Which I believe was named after her husbands daughter by another relationship. The picture speaks volumes about the ethics of the organization. Would you want this person involved with your children? Somehow looks like Mrs Nudsen may have a drinking problem. She's a advocate for children? What a great example! And Mrs Nudsen is an attorney! She is the attorney no children in state custody! No wonder her step daughter was arrested for driving under the influence...following step mom's example. No child should be represented by this organization or this woman. She makes decisions for the welfare of other people children yet she poses with a large bottle of alcohol!

The "LAME" Project
My niece and nephew have been playing board games with their father for 13 weeks now at the Layne Project, despite their insistence that they don't want to continue. My 13 year old nephew and 17 year old niece feel that they haven't had a relationship with their father for nearly 5 years for many reasons and are now being forced into a very uncomfortable situation. The cost of the visits are paid for, in part , by their mother---who is owed 80-thousand dollars in child support as of August 2018. How unfair is that? Especially since the father has not complied with court orders to have drug and alcohol tests before seeing the children. It's not really clear what is supposed to be accomplished by playing board games? My niece and nephew are so stressed out before and after the visits that it takes days to recover and then to experience it over again. The first report out of the Layne Project was "lame"...it didn't make any sense and sounded like a high school book report from a student who just read the cliff notes without reading the book. For real? The judge is going to use their "therapy" sessions to formulate a plan of reintegrating a father who is a convicted felon. He stole money from his young daughter's medical trust fund and now she has to face him ---she is a victim facing the perpetrator? It just makes no sense. The Lane Project seems more concerned with collecting their hourly fees rather than really delving into whether reuniting a parent and his children is really the healthy, safe and right thing to do. Not all parents should be reunited with their children, as we have seen in the past--- some parents are just bad parents and don't deserve the role. It would be very interesting to find out what the connection is between the courts and the Layne Project and what makes them so highly regarded as a therapeutic solution. I am just a concerned aunt who is emotionally, financially and every other way supporting my sister in raising not just 2, but 4 well-rounded children/young adults. Bottom line---why not listen to what the kids have to say instead of trying to placate a parent whose past indiscretions negate his role as a parental unit.

Court reports are awful and they don't care about the kids
As the custodial parent, the interaction I have had with the Layne project has been less than satisfactory. They don't take any concerns seriously. In court reports they will know to policies and procedures that both the visiting and custodial parent aren't following yet the policies and procedures they discuss are not in any of the information you receive or sign. As parents are constantly treated as if you don't know what's going on and you don't know their policies. The supervisors will tell you one thing, even the director in your intake meeting will tell you one thing, but in the court reports they'll act like you never communicated anything to them and they will act like you don't follow any of their rules. Basically my entire experience with them has been negative and a court report covering almost a year of supervision in a child abuse situation was less than a page. So I'm not really convinced they are doing any real supervising or real analysis of the situation which is sadly not beneficial at all $55 an hour to make sure your child is safe and that all interactions are being documented. I would not recommend to them at all it is a waste of money if you were actually concerned about your child's welfare.

Everyone needs to investigate these people
Everyone needs to investigate these people, from the court to the IRS to the Better Business Bureau to DCF. Just SMH, stay away from these people at all costs with your children, dont let them get into your wallet or report anything to the court about your family. Greed driven, fake, and not about the childrens interests AT ALL

This program is setting a dangerous precedent
This program is not for the child. A child sits and plays with Legos for an hour with the other parent. Not bonding or building a relationship but playing and that is their reasoning behind the madness. After these supervised visits and the child has to visit said parent without supervision and without toys and play time then what? That child is filled with disappointment and confusion and no resolution. All situations are not resolved the same way but this is their means of resolution. This concerns me that courts offer this Layne Project as solution for parenting and child custody. This is the same type of program that allowed 2 monsters in the life of Adrian Jones and we all know what they did to him. My heart aches every time I think about him and how programs like this allowed violent parents back into this child's life. You cannot change everyone and you cannot rehabilitate everyone. The state needs to take charge to protect our children and change these ridiculous child custody laws.

Civil Rights Violation
Freedom of Movement. The Layne Project, Inc. is now tying to enforce a one mile radius restriction around the office. This states that parents cannot be within one mile of the place within 5 minutes of pickup and drop-off between the parents. Even restraining orders don't demand that kind of restriction of movement and freedoms. It is stated that if there is a violation the child is held hostage and you will not get to see them. A clear case of duress. Fun fact, because the mother didn't want a male exchange supervisor he was dismissed from his job. These people stir and stir in order to keep the money flowing. I asked Bridget Jenner why she did this kind of work. She stated "she stated she liked it." She also stated, " she found it fun, when there is conflict." In order to keep the exchanges flowing, this corporation has rewritten their policies and procedures 4 times in less than 3 yrs.

Stay away from these people at the Layne project. They are nothing but greed driven monsters.

Ad Hoc group for mothers
I currently use TLP, Inc. First if you look at all the paper work signs associated documents, none state that it is Inc for profit. I have been using TLP almost two years per courts order. Staff rotation is intense, never the same personnel always women though. I am a co-parent father. I notice that during the sign in sheet the mother is allowed to improve her time at will. Indicating that she is not late or they TLP even went as far as shaving time tonight. If I am even a little late or stay over I am threatened with suspension of services. So, I believe this may be an Ad Hoc group for mothers. I believe the courts need to be made aware of this. As a current user of the services I cannot do so without retaliation.

"you would be better off dropping your kids off in a parking lot and driving away" This was the first review I read on The Layne Project, and it hit the nail on the head. These people are disgusting, greed driven class 1 {{Redacted}}. Do not get involved with these people, or have your kids around them. They will meddle with your custody case, sideline deals with the other parent, threaten you with their "policies" and treat your kids like trash. They want to look like they are there to help. They are not. They are only interested in separating you from your wallet. That's it. Do not let these people into your lives. Do not allow a court order to do "the layne project" as these sharks wait in shallow water to take a chunk of flesh out of your ***. Find an individual parenting coordinator who will service or provide help with your case.
