Stop The Responsible Fatherhood Bill

"All I ever wanted was supervised" a repeated phrase amongst family violence survivors.  The Family Court has come under recent scrutiny over unsafe contact and the controversial use of Parental Alienation Syndrome a diagnosis that has not been accepted by any scientific organization globally.  The bottom line is that children are ordered by the court to attend access visits where the parents are abusive.  If the mother objects, she risks losing the children altogether.  That is the state of not only the Family Court in Australia, it is an international problem.  
Until recently, there were few groups that were advocating for children and far too many groups advocating for such forced contact.  "Pro Contact" culture is really just being polite.  "Contact No Matter what" Cult, is more appropriate considering the facts that there is no limit as to who they wish children to have contact with.  

Cult definitions coined from 1920 onward[1] refer to a cohesive social group and their devotional beliefs or practices, which the surrounding population considers to be outside of mainstream cultures. The surrounding population may be as small as a neighborhood, or as large as the community of nations. They gratify curiosity about, take action against, or ignore a group, depending on its reputed similarity to cults previously reported by mass media. -Wikipedia


Bizarre punishments against mothers are initiated by the courts if they do not comply without consideration for the impact that the children suffer.  
Some of these punishments include:

"Isolating The Child From The Protective Parent"
"Orders inhibiting the Child From access to Counseling"
"Removal of The Mothers Passport'

In cases where the parent has a mental health condition that is one of the leading causes of homicide, the protective action is often minimal.  Some orders are for the parent to take their medication and see their doctor, but left entirely to the device of the patient and the potential victims are left restricted by the court order and helpless to what might come about.  The Court evaluators who make the decisions that the judges often solely rely on are often untrained for these cases, but overtrained in the area of "pro - contact' and too well understand the terms of "maternal gatekeeping" "Alienation" and "False Memory Syndrome".  They believe that the child is not unsafe in relationships with sex offenders if they "just accept it" without the interference from mothers.  

This is due to the fact that in the early 80s, Dr Richard Gardner coined the term, "Parent Alienation Syndrome" and travelled the world with the help of Association of Family and Conciliation Courts(AFCC).  Many conferences were held indoctrinating lawyers, psychologists and judges into the belief that children are better off with abusive parents.  This belief was also supported by the international Child Emancipation, a lobby group for pedophiles.  

Cases where there is not enough evidence to support Family Violence are often referred to as, "False Allegations" and in most cases the victim is required to pay costs to the alleged perpetrator. This goes against studies that support the notion that in 95% of child abuse cases are true.  Clearly it is the interference that the victims receive during the court processes that leads to the lack of evidence that is able to be provided.  

Like the German Lebensborn organization, they said, "Best Interests" but the intention was to reintroduce laws that tie women to men and diminish any concerns regarding child abuse and violence against women.  The current family law regime reduces the value of children and mothers compared to men and promotes the cycle of violence continuing through to another generation.  Like a genetic disease, our children have been infected with family violence.  

The German Lebensborn organization was similarly cruel in its time.  In the context of the German welfare system, it was considered that it was the "best interests" of the child to be German.  By abducting babies of other origins for German families, "Best Interests of the child" was created to serve the purposes of racial intolerance.  Today in the context of Family Law, "best interests of the child" refers to the amount of time spent with a parent no matter how abusive they may be. 

Although there have been more efforts to protect mothers and children affected by family violence with the Violence Against Women Act and the introduction of the Protective Parent Bill, PAS is still alive in the US court system and have progressed to a point where they are supporting it through the "Responsible Fatherhood Bill".  Like best Interests, it is aimed at enforcing contact with fathers regardless of the rise to epidemic proportions of murder suicides.  In sect 2, "Findings" it states that the reason to provide fathers with billions of dollars in funding is due to:
      6) Children who live without contact with their biological father are, in comparison to children who have such contact--

        (A) 5 times more likely to live in poverty;

        (B) more likely to bring weapons and drugs into the classroom;

        (C) twice as likely to commit crime;

        (D) twice as likely to drop out of school;

        (E) more likely to commit suicide;

        (F) more than twice as likely to abuse alcohol or drugs; and

        (G) more likely to become pregnant as teenagers.

      (7) Violent criminals are overwhelmingly males who grew up without fathers.
        
The findings stated here is derived from a confirmitory bias. If you look deeper into the research, it becomes obvious that:
Children were economically abused by the fathers and the state for withdrawal of financial support of children.  It is in fact written in the convention on The Rights Of The Child:
 
Article 26
1. States Parties shall recognize for every child the right to benefit from social security, including social insurance, and shall take the necessary measures to achieve the full realization of this right in accordance with their national law.
2. The benefits should, where appropriate, be granted, taking into account the resources and the circumstances of the child and persons having responsibility for the maintenance of the child, as well as any other consideration relevant to an application for benefits made by or on behalf of the child.
 
The "Violent males who grew up without fathers", were in fact infected prior to the separation by witnessing the actual violence.  According to Amy Coha:
  • Boys who witness domestic violence are more likely to batter their female partners as adults than boys raised in nonviolent homes. Of the children who witness domestic abuse, 60% of the boys eventually become batterers.
  • Sixty-three percent of boys age 11-20 who commit homicide, murder the man who was abusing their mother. In 50% of the time, if the wife (mother) is being physically abused, so are the children.
Teenage pregnancy is an old sexist phrase that draws the need to look at the pregnant women as the problem.  Contraceptives apart from the condom are directed at her as entirely responsible for the pregnancy.  According to Rape Abuse and Incest Network(RAIN):

Girls ages 16-19 are 4 times more likely than the general population to be victims of rape, attempted rape, or sexual assault.


 


Victims of sexual assault are:7
3 times more likely to suffer from depression.
6 times more likely to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.
13 times more likely to abuse alcohol.
26 times more likely to abuse drugs.
4 times more likely to contemplate suicide.

The fact that in some states, the perpetrator can apply to the Family Court to stop the abortion and continue these attacks on her suggests that women and girls are considered by the state as objects rather than human beings.  If such a bill were to pass, it would be a greater violation to the already eroded human rights of women and children.  

Exploiting Mothers and Children: Baby Factories

Remember the Family Court baby Factories ?  Well here is what they are doing to mothers and children in india:


Single men buying children for £15,000 at 'baby factory'

A surrogacy clinic in India is advertising babies for sale to single men in Britain.

Newborns can be bought for as little as £15,000 at the private clinic in Mumbai. More than 10 single men have purchased babies from the Rotunda Clinic.

No checks on their background are made, including whether they have convictions or have been vetted by social workers.

One London couple who had a child thanks to the clinic have been approached by single men hoping to do the same.

Bobby Bains, who runs a website explaining how to obtain a surrogate baby in India, said one in six inquiries he gets comes from single men or gay couples.

"I make the introductions," said Mr Bains, from Ilford. "I don't like it myself but I still put them in touch with India. There's no stopping it. The Pandora's Box is open and there is no going back. This is the future."

Mr Bains, 45, and his wife Nikki, 44, paid the Rotunda Clinic tens of thousands of pound over several years in a desperate attempt to have a baby.

Finally last July, a surrogate mother, implanted with a donated egg fertilised by Mr Bains' sperm, gave birth to their daughter Daisy.

Rotunda's website advertises its surrogacy service with the pledge of a birth certificate issued in the name of the "intended parents" and the baby handed over immediately after the birth.

Its website states: "Rotunda offers gestational surrogacy in India to people of all nationalities.

All couples including lesbian and gay couples and even single men and single women can avail this facility to fulfil their dream of enjoying parenthood."

Dr Gautam Allahbadia, who runs the clinic, told the Standard he thought anyone who wanted a baby should be entitled to have one - despite growing concern that a near-absence of regulations has allowed the surrogacy industry there to boom unchecked.

He said: "I believe that every human being has to be treated equal and all have the same right to procreate.

"If you are within the ambit of your country's laws and believe strongly in your own principles, one should not bother about critics. Some human beings come into this world only to criticise."

Mr Allahbadia said "more than 10" single men had used the surrogacy service, compared to 50 Western couples - "some of them British" - who went through his clinic last year.

But the promise of surrogate babies to single men has alarmed campaigners and politicians in Britain.

Ann Widdecombe, the Tory MP and a long-time critic of surrogacy, said: "It is appalling to treat children as if they were goods. Children are a blessing, not designer goods. They deserve a start in life with mum and dad."

Norman Wells, of the pressure group Family and Youth Concern, said: "Nature itself tells us that children were intended to have both a father and a mother, and neither is an optional extra.

"We are embarking on a dangerous social experiment that runs contrary to common sense if we deliberately set out to bring a child into the world without the presence and involvement of both a father and mother who are committed for life to each other.

"If we are really committed to giving children the best possible start in life, the last thing we should be doing is to tamper with the natural order."

A leading obstetrician at a Mumbai hospital told the Standard last month that she delivered on average one baby to a British couple every 48 hours.

Dr Anita Soni said: "For these surrogate mothers the money is life-changing. There is absolutely no exploitation. It is really big money. It is a jackpot."

Women vs Men in sentencing for murder

On her honey moon, Christina Thomas Watson was murdered by her new husband during a scuba diving trip.  He was jailed for one year.  This is how cheap a women's life is in Australia.  Gabe Watson has since remarried.  Heather Osland suffered 14 years of violence by the man she killed.  She was sentenced to 9.5 years in prison and remains on parole with restrictions her movements, relinquished employment prospects and a legal bill.  You can read more about Heather here .  
   

Human Rights Council Concerned about the Treatment of Women and Children in Family Law

A full day was held on women and equal access before the law.  Amongst the many violations, arose the abhorrent practices in family law.  It was recognized the lack if equal access for women in child custody cases.   The burden of proof involving rape was also mentioned.  It was revealed that many women were prevented from further pursuing justice in concern for reprisal and their economical status.  Domestic and sexual violence were discriminated against.  It was further noted that the deaths of women were not taken seriously by governments.  More can be read here. 

California's bill against junk science

As many arrived to support the protection of children and women from child abuse and violence, so were those who seeked to continue its reign.  Much to be considered about the motivations of those who wish to use a junk science theory that is well known to harm children and cause hatred towards women.  Much debate raged on as even with some agreement on the need to protect children, the opposing suggested that Sexual and Physical abuse be removed so that it just states, "Abuse".  This was intended to include psychological abuse.  The consequences of this would be converting a useful bill aimed at protecting children to a bill that perpetrators could still peddle Parent Alienation or Parent Alienation Syndrome as a form of psychological abuse.  The current status of children in the family court remains that what is referred to as, "psychological abuse" nullifies the underlying factors of child abuse and violence.  The psychological abuse whilst it may be useful in further describing intimate partner terrorism and the strategies that are used to maintain control, there is still a real danger that this could be used against women and children.  The mimic, a movie about a predator that mimics its prey best describes how human predators continue to violate children and women's rights to be free from torture.

Man faces murder counts in slaying of wife, child 

by Meghan Moravcik Walbert - Jun. 4, 2009 04:28 PM
The Arizona Republic

The Maricopa County Attorney's Office has filed a criminal complaint against a man suspected of killing his wife and daughter and injuring his son.

Michael Miller, 29, of Glendale, is accused of two counts of first degree murder and one count of attempted first degree murder. The complaint was filed Tuesday.

Miller is suspected of stabbing his wife, 10-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son with a kitchen knife last Saturday. His wife and daughter died. His son was injured, underwent surgery at a local hospital and is expected to recover.

"Our prosecutors will seek justice for the mother and child who lost their lives in this alleged double murder," County Attorney Andrew Thomas said in a written statement. "These crimes demonstrate vividly the devastating impact that domestic violence has on our community."

Miller called 911 after the attack to report that he had killed his family, according to a Glendale police probable cause statement. Miller told police that the stabbing stemmed from an argument he had with his wife about not getting enough sleep the night before.

According to the probable cause statement, Miller also told authorities that he is bipolar and schizophrenic. He said he was possessed at the time of the incident and that God and Lucifer told him to commit the crimes.


Man Gets Probation In Baby's Death 

Baby's Grandmother Upset By Sentence

POSTED: 4:57 pm CDT June 4, 2009

UPDATED: 7:15 pm CDT June 4, 2009

MIAMI COUNTY, Kan. -- A Miami County judge handed down a seven-month suspended sentence Thursday for the death of an 8-month-old girl.

The baby's grandmother, Karen Dwyer, said the man, who pleaded guilty to aggravated endangerment of a child, wouldn't have even gotten that if she had not stepped in.

"He didn't show any remorse. He never said he was sorry, so I looked into it," Dwyer said.

Three years ago, Dwyer's granddaughter, Janis Joelle, died after suffering burns on 72 percent of her body. The girl's mother's live-in boyfriend, James Boomer, was holding a pot of scalding water when he lost his balance and poured it all over the baby.

"He never ever called 911. He put her in a baby swing right after he burned her," Dwyer said.

About an hour and a half later, the baby's mother came home from work and rushed her to the hospital. They flew her to a burn unit in Cincinnati, where she later died.

The Miami County district attorney believed it was an accident and never filed charges, so Dwyer went to the Kansas Attorney General, and Boomer was then charged with one count of endangering a child.

"He killed a baby and didn't give her a chance to survive by withholding medical attention for a long time -- an hour and a half or more. An 8-month-old baby, and all he gets is probation," said Dwyer.

When the judge asked Boomer if he had anything to say before sentencing, he said, "No." When KCTV5 News tried to talk to him after the sentencing, he avoided the news camera and went out the other door.

"He had no remorse, no nothing. And they give him nothing -- a slap on the hand for killing an 8-month-old baby," said Dwyer.

Boomer spent four months in jail after his arrest. As long as he follows the terms of his probation for the next eight months, he will not have to go back to jail.

CANYON COUNTY — A Nampa man faces two counts of aggravated battery after a 2-year-old child was taken to the hospital with broken bones and cigarette burns.

Mario J. Gonzalez, 23, faces up to 15 years in prison for each count if found guilty. He is held in the Canyon County jail on a $250,000 bond.

The victim is Gonzalez' girlfriend's 2-year old child, according to Canyon County Prosecuting Attorney John Bujak. Officials say the mother took her child to Mercy Medical Center where the toddler was examined. Medical personnel then contacted the Nampa Police Department to investigate the circumstances of the injuries.

The mother believed the injuries resulted from an accident, according to the prosecutor's office.

The allegations in the complaint include descriptions of injuries to the child of both arms being broken and several cigarette burns to the child's feet.  

Gonzalez, who has no prior criminal convictions for a violent offense, is set to return to court at 10 a.m. June 15 in front of 3rd District Magistrate Judge Karen Vehlow for a preliminary hearing.

A no-contact order is in place, prohibiting contact with the victim and any minor children.

PLAY VIDEO: Missing 9-Month-Old Found


A missing 9-month-old baby girl has been found in Pueblo but police say her father, a registered sex offender, is still on the run.

Pueblo police say 26-year-old Ted Perez went missing on May 29. Police believe he had also abducted his daughter, 9-month-old Iyana Perez, who also disappeared that day.

Pueblo police say they found Iyana at 9 a.m. Friday. Police say they began searching all addresses known to be associated with Perez. One person they encountered, who is remaining anonymous, gave police a tip about the whereabouts of the little girl.

That tip turned out to be good. Police found Iyana in a home, being cared for by the sister of a friend of Ted Perez. 11 News spoke with that friend, who tell us Perez dropped the baby off and asked that he take care of her. The friend then brought Iyana to his sister's house and that's where police found her, healthy and unharmed.

Both the friend and his sister tell 11 News they had no idea that Iyana was missing or that Ted Perez was wanted by police.

Iyana is now in the custody of Pueblo police.

According to police, her father, Ted Perez is known to be unstable. Police say Ted Perez is known to use narcotics and is suicidal. Police say he also made statements that he would kill Iyana before she went missing. Perez and Iyana's mother are not married and have no known residence. Police cannot find Iyana's mother at this point either.

Police say Perez has two active warrants, one for a domestic violence allegation and one for violating the terms of a registered sex offender. Police say the third warrant is not activated yet but will be for a domestic violence charge that allegedly occurred with the child's mother very recently.

Perez was convicted of harassment with a factual basis for sexual assault more than 10 years ago. That is what put him on the registered sex offender list. Since he was a minor at the time, police will not release details of the charges.

Ted Perez is a Hispanic man, 5'7" tall with brown eyes and brown hair. He has a tattoo on the right side of his neck that reads, "Selena".

According to police, Perez does not have a vehicle. They say he travels by foot or bicycle.

If you have any information on this case, you're asked to call Pueblo police at 553-2502



Man arrested in suspected domestic abuse 

Used tot as a human shield

Posted: 06/04/2009 01:00:56 AM PDT

 

A Vallejo man was arrested Wednesday after using his toddler as a human shield against police, a Vallejo Police Department spokesman said.

Police contacted Gary Garner of Vallejo, 32, at about 9:15 a.m. at a North Vallejo residence, to investigate a report of domestic violence, Vallejo Police spokesman Sgt. Sid De Jesus said.

Garner was uncooperative, he said.

"He held the child close and wouldn't relinquish the child," he said. Garner "was eventually physically restrained without further incident, no one was injured, and he was taken to Solano County Jail."

The 18-month-old girl was returned unharmed to her pregnant mother, who was also on the scene, De Jesus said.

"(The woman) had a cut upper lip, was bruised and battered, but she wasn't hospitalized," he said.

Garner was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, child endangerment, resisting arrest and for an outstanding warrant out of Santa Cruz, De Jesus said.

The nature of the warrant was not immediately known, he said.

Baby in hospital leads to Man's abuse charge

A 2-month-old girl was taken to the hospital on May 25 for projectile vomiting. Doctors there noticed blood spots on her brain and sent her to All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg. There, she was diagnosed as having neurological damage and hemorrhaging in her brain and eyes: All the symptoms of shaken baby syndrome. "I did it," Anthony B. Curatolo told authorities, according to his arrest report. "I was too rough with her." Curatolo, 22, told investigators the child might have been injured when he accidentally smacked the back of her head against a doorway while carrying her. Or he might have bounced her too much in her bouncy swing, he said, according to the Pasco Sheriff's Office report. Kevin Doll, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office, said the baby was released from the hospital on Sunday and is in custody of caregivers. He would not release the identities of the caregivers or Curatolo's relationship to the infant. He said the girl's long-term prognosis is not known. Curatolo, a laborer who lives at 10160 Briar Circle in Hudson, was arrested Monday on a charge of aggravated child abuse and is being held without bail at the Land O'Lakes jail. According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, this is Curatolo's first arrest in Florida.



Celina man guilty of murder in baby's death

CELINA - A 25-year-old man faces 23 years to life in prison when he is sentenced July 22 for killing an 11-month old child.

Jason C. Thomas pleaded no contest this week to murder and felonious assault in the Jan. 14 incident that led to the death of his stepson, Kole Mathew Atkins, the next day. A doctor at Children's Medical Center in Dayton said the child had injuries that were consistent with Shaken Baby Impact Syndrome.

The child had numerous bruises, broken bones and internal injuries, prosecutors said.

Emergency responders were called to the home of the infant's mother at 119 Garmin Ave. on an injured child not breathing. Thomas was the only person home with the infant at the time, Celina Police Department officials reported.

Kole was taken to a local hospital and then transported to the hospital in Dayton.

Celina Police Chief David Slusser said an autopsy at the Montgomery County Coroner's Office found severe injuries to the baby's head, body and extremities that were inconsistent with any type of accident.

After charges were filed, Thomas was held in jail in lieu of $1 million bail.




News.com.au Attacks Mothers

The column is called, "Money Mum" and the headline is, "What would you charge for sex?".
It implies an assumption that all mothers would involve themselves in paid sex work.  In a time of economic downturn, it is a cheap advertisement to draw mothers into an assumption that it is their only worth.  

This article is degrading and shows just the type of culture that is behind the news.  We hardly sight anything on the suffering of mothers as most articles are directed towards supporting fathers when the subject of family law arises.  
Our lives are already deemed, "cheap" by the judicial community and if we don't take a stand against it - It will be deemed "cheap" everywhere else.

If you feel offended by this article, you have every right to complain. 

You can make your complaint here.  By doing so, you are making a statement that mothers are not rubbish and are not to be treated as such.
