Child Abuse Disclosure Causes Outrage

A situation where radio presenters fumbled upon a disclosure of rape has broken out in scrutiny and distaste for the show. Fathers Rights groups have condemned the mother for humiliating the daughter, despite they are to blame for the community attitudes towards rape. Peter Gregory of Fathers4Equality stated,

"What kind of a bitch is this woman!

She knew her daughter had been raped and yet she took her onto this show knowing full well that her daughter could suffer from this.

I'm sorry, but this disgusting excuse for a mother, should not only be howled down in the public arena, she should be charged with some child abuse offence."

Earlier he stated,

"We also need to remember the children who suffer parental alienation.
These children are convinced that the other parent is assaulting them in some way and they do what ever they can to remain with the abusive parent, even telling police or child protection workers detailed stories of the sexual (or otherwise) abuse, so it sounds very believable."

Note that he refers to the parent taking protective action as "abusive".

In every discussion, court judgment and debate on unsubstantiated child abuse, these men have dominated every spotlight to persuade the community that most of the time, children lie about this. We now have a culture that believes that the right thing to do is not report child abuse unless there is undeniable proof that it occurred. The President of Fathers4Equality even states in his own words in appealing to keep the law that asks for costs more often than not against victims,
"Proving that someone has "knowingly" made false allegations rather
than "mistakenly" or "recklessly" is quite a tall order. "

For protective mothers, they face an extremely challenging path in pursuing justice for thier child in these occurrences. The lone fathers association has even promoted a label that has no scientific credibility called, "Malicious Mother Syndrome". Another tactic to convince the community that a mother advocating on behalf of a child who has disclosed abuse is malicious.
It almost lingers into our community's subconscious that mothers are to blame regardless of whether they report or not. Yet once again, the person instigating the abuse has somehow avoided the spotlight, scrutiny and punishment. Maternal Deprivation, more popular than football has become a favorite male dominated sport where the game is set up so the mother is always the loser. The players are the shared parenting mob, the black shirts and other radical fathers groups. Since the 80s they have been playing this game, involving politicians, kicking all mothers in the spotlight and hiding the voice of children so that we as a community will respond with nothing but malice towards every mother and child when they seek help to stop child abuse. With all of the odds played against a protective mother, she has little opportunity but to conform to the current, "sweep it under the carpet regime" only to later endure the scrutiny and blame for a crime that she did not commit. The mother in this sport is not the other team - she is the ball in a game of hypocrisy and propaganda.

The fact that it took thousands of listeners outrage for the police to investigate, is a good indicator that these beliefs are also ingrained within the only body that can properly investigate and bring about justice for our children. Yet with such a confirmatory bias, more often than not police don't investigate when they need to and also face costs if they bring a matter to court without enough evidence. The odds that target mothers are impairing our children and young people. This young girl caught in a tragic set of circumstances making her disclosure on national radio, reveals how far one has to go just to be heard. In the abc report Minister of community services Linda Burney has taken a personal interest in the case. Yet there are 15,000 children in Australia that have been ignored along with their parents.
