Dads in distress lose Funding

Some bias Articles have been going around about dads in distress losing funding, writing as if there will be no suicide service for men.  This is incorrect and misleading.  

It is no wonder dads in distress lose funding.  Under the guise of suicide prevention, dads in distress was a group that was part of the pro-contact force.  Promoting contact with suicidal fathers was irresponsible to say the least considering that fathers suicide in statistics include taking their children or their ex wife with them.  

The highest murder suicide statistics reside mostly within regions where there is a high suicide rate. He might have had a choice, but they didn't and it is careless to make a presumption that by hand the kids to someone mentally unstable will simply "cure" them.  The suicide stats the funding in the first base on had nothing to do with their organization.  The male suicide stats were mostly our indigenous population that also includes a high rate of violence and child abuse.   The Wesley Mission Reported:

INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS

• Approximately 86% of all Indigenous suicides are by males.9 (Only four States have indigenous death data considered to be of publishable standard.)
• Aboriginal suicide rates are possibly two to three times that of non-Aboriginal Australians.15

An area that the previous government had severely neglected.  

Dads in Distress supported Parental Alienation Syndrome also supported by the international pedophile and child emancipation.  Parental Alienation Syndrome  has not been accepted by any scientific organization in the world.  It is a formula to abuse children and maintain the silence.  It is no wonder it was largely debunked.  Dads in Distress still promoted this on their website whilst irresponsibly ignoring the fathers behavior that might have contributed to the child's resentment.  They were given nearly half a million dollars to damage children for the sake of "fathers rights".  Amore responsible organization has been there all along.  Often ignored by these groups, yet makes a significent contribution to all men, including our indigenous population in suicide prevention.    They are called mens line and their statement about family violence is:

"Mensline Australia believes the use of physical, emotional, sexual, psychological or economic abuse in family and intimate relationships is always unacceptable and in some cases is against the law. We believe that any person using violence is solely responsible for their behaviour and we will work with people to accept that responsibility and connect with services in the community to facilitate behaviour change. In our work with callers we will take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of the person experiencing abuse and will encourage them to seek suitable supports."

		Dads In Distress Dads In Distress claims to be a deticated support groups of men in Australia whose immediate concern is to stem the present trend of male suicide to the trauma of divorce or separation. Clearly they go beyond what is generally perceived as "support" and encourage the use of Parental Alienation Syndrome a debunked theory created by a psychologist named Richard Gardner. Dr Richard Gardner was a self published writer whom promoted pedophilia philosphies in his book such as:  "It is of interest that of all the ancient peoples it may very well be that the Jews were the only ones who were punitive toward pedophiles." Ibid. pp.46-47  Many child advocates are "charlatans, and/or psychopaths, and/or incompetents." Ibid. p.526  "It is _extremely_ important for therapists to appreciate that the child who has been genuinely abused may _not_ need psychotherapeutic intervention." Ibid. p.535 "-True and False Accusations of Child Sex Abuse (1992)

Be polite and treat the operator with respect, it won't be long before these conversations will be quoted back to you in court. Make friends with your case manager, they may give you some useful tips(off the record)."
