Mothers will lose custody if they are found unfit by a family court
Courts will sometimes give custody of children to mentally ill or borderline mothers. It will depend upon the severity of their cases and they will be assigned social workers.
Custodial military parents pose a special problem and many mothers have lost custody of their children by serving their country. You need to consult with an attorney in your state who specializes in custody cases. There is recent case law in many states and recent legislation that addresses this issue.
YES! not all mothers should be granted full custody of their children!
1839 An 'innocent' mother could have custody of her children until they were seven years old. In 1873 Mothers could have custody over there children until they were sixteen, only if the mother was innocent.
Yes. Leaving children unsupervised is considered child endangerment regardless of who has "full custody". That could lead to the parent being deemed unfit and they could lose custody.

YES. Fathers have equal rights to their child just as the mothers do. Mothers should not automatically get sole primary physical custody just because they are women. The family court system in the states is starting to lean towards this. Hopefully it will not take 50 years and umpteen kidnapped children.

I assume you live in an all woman community?
That's up to a judge, but why would it matter?
I think that a person should not be allowed to have custody.
Your odds are just as good as anyone else's. There is a new trend of family courts taking children from mothers and giving them to fathers. If you make any kind of alleghation against the father, the courts will say you are trying to alienate the father and give custody to him. If you don't accuse him of anything, they will say that he is a good father and give custody to him. Fathers who actually fight for custody win 80% of the time. Don't believe the hype. If you fight him, you will probably lose.
The criminal justice system sometimes uses charges of child abuse to punish these mothers. The juvenile advocacy system often removes the children from the care/custody of these mothers.
