About Us
Who We Are
The Barron Foundation is a national nonprofit focused on child-centered reform in family courts through education, storytelling, advocacy, and policy awareness.
We do not comment on active cases or violate court orders. Our work centers on identifying systemic patterns of harm and advocating for meaningful reform.

Meet Our Founder
Dr. Kreslyn Barron Odum is a Georgia-based physician and public health expert whose personal experience with the family court system brought national attention to its failures. Her story, featured in a documentary screened at the National Press Club, helped spark a broader call for accountability and reform.
“Families across this country are doing everything right and still losing their children to a system that refuses to look at the truth.”
How We’re Making a Difference
The Barron Foundation focuses on systemic change, not individual cases, by addressing how family courts operate, decide, and fail children at scale.
Public Education
Providing clear, accessible information about family court practices that place children at risk.
Advocacy & Organizing
Building coalitions of parents, professionals, and advocates committed to child-centered accountability.
Storytelling
Amplifying lived experiences that reveal systemic patterns of harm too often dismissed or ignored.
Policy Critique
Examining family court policies and procedures to promote reforms that truly protect children.
