Advocates for the Family Court have often displayed clients who do not obey the orders often for very good reason, as "hysterical", "mentally ill" or "wayward". Dig a little deeper and the reasons for not obeying the orders often involves an intolerable situation that the court has repeatedly ignored. How could anyone justify 126 mothers per year fleeing the country with the highest reason being family violence? Most don't even have a criminal background, let alone play the part of a sinister abductor. Its their children that they are protecting them from a system that has failed them.
The parents on the run, are excluded from being able to provide their child an education, access to health services and social support. They are deemed social outcasts that deserve to be isolated from their children and society. The child is punished and the blame is passed onto the parent for choosing to protect. If the parent does not protect children, they are held accountable for the perpetrators abuse of which can be jailed along with the person who did this to them. Either way, a protective parent is damned if they do and damned if they don't.
Some have protested, become advocates and written books about their plights. They are child focused and not "selfish" as the international social services, the hague convention and the family courts have deemed. There are moments when authority needs to be questioned, home truths need to be told and under a democratic political climate: These parents have a right to be heard with dignity and respect. It is not democracy without this. Spokespersons can say all they want about values, "good practice", and provide policies that are aligned with these sentiments. However, the key stakeholders need to also acknowledge that the majority of people they serve are more intelligent than they might believe and no amount of dumbing down is going to stop the ever increasing outrage on the courts failing to protect. Since the internet and social networking platforms, people world wide have begun to comprehend the wool that has been placed upon their eyes, understand the depths of systematic abuses and take action against it.
Of course the first action is always the most civil and appropriate avenues and that is protesting and encouraging changes in the law. The constant response to this to date by the family courts has been denial and autism when it comes to protecting children. They have services in place, ready to use but all of these services are used internally as a government retaliation tool rather than a service. The media is no different, the few articles I place upon this blog is because they stand out above the rubbish pile. Many good articles have been written about the censorship in the media, so I won't go into that too much.
If a system like this is crumbling beneath our feet, then other action needs to be taken. The philosophy of liberty is the first step. If any authority is causing harm and they have eliminated all legal possibilities of you being able to protect yourself from that harm, then it is time to realize your own powers to act. If you have exhausted all avenues, then the only other avenue is what has not come to pass before the law. The only laws that apply are the ones we obey and give power too. Laws that are against a vast majority requires a gathering of a vast majority.
If that vast majority decided to flee because the court failed their children, the courts power would diminish, the countries that these people ran to would be compelled to act for them and raise it with the country they fled from.
If the vast majority acquired footage of their court cases and put it all up on the same day, the courts would find this too ambiguous to charge every single person for contempt. They would have no choice but to confront this and the outrage from the rest of the community. The secrecy is what keeps this whole saga going and the more people begin to speak out against the abuse of their children then the more changes can be made. People believe that they are just one miniscule person in a larger scheme of things, but do not fully realize their own significant power as one person to create change. The fear and blame is just a game for systematic abusers and something that can be overcome. Everything that has cause injustice can always be traced back to two motivations: Money and power. Without these things, they would be fending for their rights as any other person does.
If you have ever truly thought about your choices, about whether you chose to live in a world that hurts our environment, that creates poverty and punishes those who least deserve it, you would truly understand the magnitude of will that has been robbed from you and the reason to disseminate fact from fiction in order to fully improve our existence as human beings.
