Natural Biological Parents

There are lobby groups who want to create laws and policies that enforce families to reform to the nineteenth century style where every family is made of natural biological parents.  The groups are:

Shared Parenting Council of Australia

Fathers4Equality 

Rationshed 

Dads4Kids: Fatherhood Foundation

Australia - Richard Hillman Foundation Inc.

Australian so called Child Support

Fathers 4 Justice

They say that they are safer with natural biological parents and we cannot go wrong with laws like the ones they suggest.  LIke many children born into a home rampant with family violence, these children are forgotten from the minds of these groups including the recent seven year old who was starved to death in the North of NSW.  They say that it is a child's rights to be care for by both parents.  Even if it kills them?  Is this a childs right?  Is it really in their best interests to die in the hands of their biological parents just because its traditional and against feminism?  The father in the article below, blamed his wife for the death of their seven year old.  Yet the domineering nature of this particular father suggests that he plays the stereotype of the head of the family and thus his decisions should warrant the same level of accountability.  Unlike the groups above, I neither sympathize nor support the mother involved in the trial at this stage unless some facts come to light that prove that she was not responsible for such an act.  This is an example of how children are not always safe with their natural biological parents and it is stupidity to think that by attracting laws based upon bias research would simply "make everything better".  It should also be noted that hitler also had similar ideologies and believed that the women's place was in the home.  

Father blamed wife for starved girl's death: court 

May 27, 2009

A man pointed to his wife and said "it was her, all her fault'' after being arrested over the starvation death of their daughter, a jury has been told.

The seven-year-old girl was found dead in the family's Hawks Nest home, north of Newcastle, on November 3, 2007.

Her parents, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, were arrested a fortnight later on the NSW south coast after warrants were issued for their capture.

Sergeant Michael Moulds, then a senior constable, told a NSW Supreme Court jury on Wednesday he arrested the couple at Albion Park railway station on November 17.

He said he had police printouts of the couple relating to their outstanding warrants and also recognised them from media coverage of the girl's death.

They were taken to Port Kembla police station, where Constable Paul Hewitson said the father blamed his wife for their predicament.

Crown prosecutor Peter Barnett SC asked him what was said.

'''It was her, all her fault'. And he pointed back to the dock area where the female accused was,'' Const Hewitson told the court.

He said a search of two bags found with the parents found items including three mobile phones, four Centrelink health cards, four Centrelink pensioner concession cards, 14 prescriptions in the names of the parents, a large quantity of prescription and non-prescription drugs, new clothes, toiletries and the couple's framed wedding certificate.

Earlier on Wednesday, a paediatrician who had treated the girl told the jury the state of the child's body after her death was so extreme she could not describe it.

Dr Dimitri Tzioumi treated the girl at Sydney Children's Hospital in Randwick in 2002 and said the girl had periods of significant growth during her early years, coinciding with visits to paediatricians.

If the girl had continued growing in line with the growth percentile scale she would have weighed 26 kilograms in November 2007, she said.

The court has previously heard the girl weighed only nine kilograms when she died.

Dr Tzioumi said she had seen a video of the girl taken at the morgue in Newcastle after her death.

"She was severely wasted, or emaciated,'' she said.

''(There was) no likeness of the child I knew.

"This was extreme, so extreme I can't describe it.''
 
The trial before Justice Robert Allan Hulme, sitting in East Maitland, continues.
