I'm not a lawyer but i believe the answer is YES.

Many children feel unprotected by the non-abusive parent, even when the abuse is occurring within a traditional 'nuclear' family.

A biological parent has a responsiblity to protect their children.

If their children are being abused by their partner they are responsible for putting a stop to it.

If it is allowed to continue it becomes abuse 'by proxy'

In the best case it's still neglect, which is also a form of abuse.

What rights do you have as a mother whose children were taken?

Get a lawyer and fight it out in court. If they were taken by the paternal father without you being served temporary custody papers, then it is illegal. No one can take your kids without a court order. If they were taken by the state because there is suspicion that you have abused them, the state will have to prove you are guilty before they can make it permanant. Like I said before, get a good lawyer.
