I am in need of some advice. ..

This morning I got a Facebook message from a childhood friend. We were best buds in 2nd and 3rd grade, but had drifted apart by middle school. I am friends with her on FB, but haven't seen here since our high school graduation in 1990.

This is the message I got:



"Hey, I just had a horrific thing happen and need some help. Am not sure yet what or how to even proceed next, but thought you might be a good person to contact for some support with this. My girlfriend just had her kids taken from her on Tuesday because of our relationship. I don't want to talk about this on Facebook. Would you be willing to talk?"

Can anyone on here tell me if there is a way I can direct her for some legal help for her girlfriend? We live in redstate hell , Tennessee... I figure she really just wants someone to vent to, but I would like to help her girlfriend because little kids should not be taken from their momma. Any ideas??
