Family Values?

Churches were behind forcing shared parenting whilst undermining the concerns over safety of women and children. Preachers all over Australia raised, "fatherless" and divorce as a great concern without addressing some of the reasons why family courts order no contact for fathers.

First, most judgments resulting in no contact for fathers is usually because there is undeniable evidence that the father was in fact abusive. These cases are rare and extreme. More no contact cases usually involve mothers who have raised abuse with some evidence, countered by junk science claims that the mother had coached the child into making up the abuse. Whilst most research supports false allegations to be a very small factor in Family Courts, accusing mothers of coaching and reversing custody has become a very popular trend on addressing unsubstantiated abuse. Over the years, Family court statements have confirmed that they do not have the facilities to adequately address child abuse and this is sadly how they deal with it. A majority of cases that involve reversal of custody to the alleged abuser include women who have experienced some form of violence against them.

The movement behind the laws that attract these trends are these churches. In a method to compete with the rise of radical islam, they have explicit instructions on how to abuse wives. Its called, "Christian Domestic Discipline". Here are some quotes:

A sound lashing is five to ten strokes with your hand, or three to five strokes with a strap; some wives need more. To avoid brusing do not strike the same area in repetition. Gauge your decision to proceed based on your wife's readiness to repent.

If one's children find out, it is not end of the world. Most children understand more than adults give them credit. In particular, children understand spanking far more than they understand bitterness and divorce.

There is an information highway created which runs from a woman's bottom to her mind as the evil spews from her mouth. It is the husband's responsibility to fill with love and assurance. Otherwise, he has simply engaged in an act of torture.

There are three basic ways to control a wife, as follows:

1. Ignore her - This method ruins the marriage.
2. Burden her with chores, responsibilities, and work - This method makes her prematurely old.
3. In a no nonsense fashion, discipline her personally, privately, and memorably - In responsible hands, this method can work miracles.

Whilst the site claims not to be encouraging domestic violence and is consensual, the consent is limited to the beginning and void during and after. It even encourages silencing women about abuse. In one news article, it is a growing trend in Christian marriages.

Has The APA Finally Lost Its Marbles?

After rejecting many previous proposals for parent alienation, parent alienation disorder is being considered. Considering the lack of scientific support and empirical research supporting a major clash with the proposal, the APA may be about to lose all credibility for its profession.

In fact, the APA has been so supportive of sex offenders that they have offered direct communication so that they can make an exclusive contribution to the next diagnostic and statistical manual. On a message board for pedophiles, was the following message:

Request for DSM committee to meet with MAA's

Posted by michaelmelsheimer on 2010-03-1 11:02:21, Monday

---

This is a project that B4U-ACT has been working on for the last couple of months. It is asking for a face to face meeting with certain members of the APA. Members of the larger community are BCC'd. Close to 2000 emails will go out eveyday `for about 6 weeks. B4U-ACT has had more people working on this project than any other in the past. The have done a great job. So, please wish them luck. They all need big hugs. It is a damn shame we can't mention all of their names. To: Dr. Ray Blanchard, chair, Subworkgroup on Paraphilias for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual V (DSM V), American Psychiatrtic Association Dear Dr. Blanchard: We wish to follow up on our previous correspondence. The APA's subworkgroup on the paraphilias, which you chair, is discussing significant changes to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) regarding pedophilia. As you know, we represent an organization that advocates for dialog between mental health professionals and people who are emotionally and sexually attracted to children or adolescents. We requested a meeting with your subworkgroup, based on the APA's policy that work groups include representation from “patient and family groups,” that the revision process seeks “input from stakeholders,” and that DSM should be “sensitive to the needs of clinicians and their patients.” While you responded by offering to correspond with us by e-mail or telephone, we explained why we believe that is inadequate and requested a face-to-face meeting with at least one member of your subworkgroup. We did this in early January and have not received your reply. Again, our rationale is that the DSM and mental health and criminal justice policies based on them have an enormous impact on all of society and on people who are attracted to children, including teenagers. They must be based on complete and accurate information. Yet the DSM is currently being revised in the absence of information from people in the general population who are attracted to children or adolescents. Instead, revisions are based on limited data from unrepresentative correctional populations who cannot be honest with researchers. It is well-known among social scientists that such data are highly biased and misleading. The lack of accurate information feeds irrational fears surrounding people who are attracted to children or adolescents. These fears are extraordinarily intense and lead to severe stigma and adversarial policies which force minor-attracted people into hiding, making the gathering of accurate information even more difficult. Perpetuating this vicious cycle neither protects children nor leads to effective policies. It renders the APA powerless to gather and disseminate accurate information. We are proposing a solution to this otherwise intractable problem. We have organized a small group of minor-attracted people who are willing to meet with APA professionals. Face-to-face dialog with those of us not under the supervison of the criminal justice system is essential for gathering accurate information. We are also informing the public of our proposal by copying this email to researchers, mental health agencies, child protection organizations, political leaders, media outlets, and others. We look forward to your reply. Sincerely, Michael Melsheimer, Director of Operations, michaelmelsheimer@b4uact.org Richard Kramer, Program Planner, rkramer@b4uact.org Paul Christiano, Communications Director, pchristiano@b4uact.org B4U-ACT, Inc.

The APA has had quite a history of promoting pedophilia. Here are a few quotes:

"the American Psychiatric Association (APA) recently sponsored a symposium in which participants discussed the removal of pedophilia from an upcoming edition of the psychiatric manual of mental disorders." -Psychiatric Association Debates Lifting Pedophilia Taboo By Lawrence Morahan, CNSNews.com

"The clinical significance criteria were revised to clarify that, for Pedophilia, Voyeurism, Exhibitionism, and Frotteurism, if the person has acted on these urges, or the urges or sexual fantasies cause marked distress or interpersonal difficulty, then by definition there is clinical significance." -Dissociative Disorders By APA

"the APA changed its criteria in a way that made room for the psychologically normal type of pedophile. A person who molested children was considered to have a psychiatric disorder only if his actions "caused clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas of functioning." In other words, a man who molested children without remorse, and without experiencing significant impairment in his social and work relationships, could be diagnosed--at least theoretically--as a "psychologically normal" type of pedophile." - The APA's and the Pedophilia Controversy

Many pedophile organisations promote Parent Alienation as a disorder or syndrome.

Here are a list of confirmed pedophile organisations who have written in support of it:

Parent Alienation Awareness Day

If a group of pedophiles and abusers named their cause, "Abusers Awareness Day", no one would help champion their goals.

There needs to be a little bit of propaganda to blanket their true goals.

Richard Gardner gave them that blanket by promoting ideas that society should punish those to speak against abuse as, "sick" and "requiring therapy". He coined the term, "Parental Alienation Syndrome". Appalled by the pro-pedophile material that was circulated on a large scale, researchers on child abuse and family violence worked even harder to debunk this content and for many years it has been frequently rejected by the American Psychology Association as a Syndrome. Regardless of the theory being discredited, it has still been used on court cases all over the world including a case where it was a defense for a brutal murder of a mother. Some backyard psychologists have even held workshops about, "Maternal Gate-keeping" and others have promoted theories such as, "Malicious Mother Syndrome".

Whilst in most debates, we all amicably prefer to keep things gender neutral apart from where one gender is being targeted in a way no different to the apartheid in Africa, the slavery towards African Americans and of course the stolen generation of aboriginal children. Whilst the use of parental alienation syndrome appears to be one of those gender neutral terms, the literature and statistics of court cases where the reversal of custody cases involving abuse allegations suggests that the number one target is the mother. Enmeshed with child abuse cases are often intimate partner terrorism, mostly perpetrated by fathers and a deep lack of community support towards mothers who try against many odds to protect their children from further abuse and exposure to violence. The superficial surface of parent alienation suggests that their goal is to stop "false accusers" despite statistics stating over and over again that false accusers are a minority of cases and in fact most of the false allegations are use by fathers. Empirical research has defined this as part of a series of behaviors that follow the intervention of a intimate partner terrorism relationship. This is where the real problem lies, with little support thanks to the erosion of domestic violence and child protection services, mothers experiencing false accusations towards them have drifted unknowingly towards the movement that is solely there to continue these abuses against her and the children.

Supporters of this theory have even gone as far as promoting it as a form of child abuse and sadly many court cases involving child abuse and intimate partner terrorism with evidence are treated as alienation resulting with the child being transferred to the abuser. The influence of this theory has been so great that other aspects of the system where the perpetrator could be convicted are thwarted.

Whilst Parental Alienation attracts pedophile lobbyists, batterers and abusers, they also attract mistaken victims. These victims are in turn used to become the front of the organisations eliminating the promotion of any true need for children and victims of violence and appear as though they are gender inclusive. The laws, case statistics and culture of the courts are a true reflection of the backyard psych therapists and abuse excuser's causes. Some organisations are obvious in their agenda, whilst others confuse the situation.

Given the clusters of abusers that are attracted to the cause, it is important to encourage police abuse units to investigate the members of these groups as they do with pedophile rings. This could help stop abuse occurring. Other things that can be done is reporting professionals who use the theory as a form of diagnosis to psychologist registers, law bars and social worker accreditation organisations. The use of junk science destroys the credibility of professionals who do not practice backyard therapies and such reports are welcomed to peak bodies. By alerting other parents of the dangers of these organisations, parents can then become aware of the potential risks they could expose the children to by engaging with potential abusers activities and prevent abuse from occurring.

Divorced Mother Speaks out

With the reforms in the Family Court that just keep getting worst, it is no wonder mothers do not have a leg to stand on when they try to leave a marriage and protect the children. Its easy for someone to say, "Well why didn't you just leave?", but enduring it is another situation. Women are well aware of the systematic place they have been discarded to in society when leaving a marriage. They know they will be criticized, blamed and even accused of false allegations. In this case, it wasn't until someone died that Garry Francis was stopped. For over a decade, Christine had tried to seek help from hospitals, police and doctors to no avail. It is not known whether or not there she tried to seek help from family law proceedings as section 121 would have stopped her from being able to disclose that.

Carly Ryan's killer unmasked

THE former wife of the man who murdered Carly Ryan has spoken about the decade of abuse she suffered at his hands. See the video.

FOR 10 years "Christine" struggled to survive a brutal marriage to a man who was determined to break her.

The smallest indiscretion would be met with rage-fuelled bashings.

One night he sexually assaulted her when she was 15 minutes late from work.

He banned her from getting a driver's licence and kept money from her so she could not escape. When she refused to keep working at a strip club, she claims he used his fists and boots to force her back to work.

And, she says, he tried to rape their daughter when she was just 13.

Fifteen years after leaving him, Christine, not her real name, has done a great deal to put the pain behind her. On Wednesday, however, it came rushing back when her daughter rang with the news that her former husband, Garry Francis Newman, was the man convicted of killing Adelaide schoolgirl Carly Ryan.

"All of these years I have been waiting for something like this to happen," she told The Advertiser yesterday as Newman started the first day of a life sentence. "I hope he gets everything he deserves in jail.

"I am worried about how many girls he has done this to."

Now in her late-40s and living in suburban Melbourne, Christine says the system failed every woman who came into Newman's path, right up to 14-year-old Carly.

To Sonya Ryan, Carly's mother, Christine said: "I'm so sorry, no mother should have to go through this and I wish I could have stopped it."

For a decade, from 1986, Christine said Newman's true nature was ignored by his family, police, doctors and hospital staff.

In a darkened room Christine spoke of the sheer terror she was subjected to by a monster who had charmed her into marriage.

On one occasion she wanted to go shopping with a female friend.

When she told Newman she was going out, he grabbed her, beat her and dragged her into the bedroom. He sat on her and punched her until she was barely conscious.

She had crawled to the front door when Newman's mother arrived and rang for a doctor.

Her daughter, who Newman once plied with alcohol and tried to rape rang Christine on Wednesday, almost hysterical. "I couldn't make sense of her," Christine said. "Finally, she said, `Have you seen the news? He killed Carly'."

Parent Alienation

Parent Alienation Syndrome or disorder is not an official diagnosis. It has not been accepted by any credible scientific body in the world. The literature behind this diagnosis is from a fringe psychologist who promoted child abuse as something to be accepted in society and promoted the notion that it is the victims and the advocates that are the problem. Mens groups have heavily promoted this as what they have referred to as, "abuse excuse".

Despite the heavy coercion and psychological abuse that surrounds the use of this fake diagnosis,

it has been not only challenged, but debunked in proceedings. In fact, whilst the court may be able to guard against negligence litigation, family reporters are not so immune as they would like to present to their clients. Even if they use the term Parent Alienation without the disorder or the Syndrome on the end of it, it can still be argued that the term was in reference to Gardner's syndrome. California introduced a "Non scientific theories" bill to stop the use of Parent Alienation.

Whilst complaints may seem like a negative process to go through, it is important that these organisations are aware that these practitioners are not acting appropriately.

Making judgments and decisions based upon non scientific theories is dangerous and detrimental. They ruin it for other practitioners who do not engage in misconduct. These bodies are there to make ensure that integrity within a profession is held so that it does not become a profession that is no longer used.

Where Do All Of The Perpetrators Go?

Just six days ago, a Laurence D'Alessandrowas found guilty of possessing over 16000 images of child pornography. It was deemed, "The very worst" "inhumane" and "evil".

He was sentenced to 3 years jail. In 3 years time, this man will be out in our community, maybe already married with children or about to be married with children. We wont know. Some unlucky women and child may fall prey to such a predator in the future. With so many privacy laws protecting perpetrators, she may not know until its too late. If she makes the decision to protect the child and leave, he can still obtain unquestioned rights of access to the child through the family court. How that stands in legal terms of the Family court is "in the past".

In a report from the Sentencing Advisory Council, the average rate of sentencing is an appalling figure on the value of a child's livelihood:

Believe it or not, there is actually lesser sentence if the child is related to the abuser:

Considering the average jail term for incest being 4 years, the crimes that warrant higher sentences must be more abhorrent or are they?

1. A women is sentenced for 5 years over property investment.(source)
2. A man was sentenced for 3 years for denying the holocaust(source)
3. Copyright infringements are up to 5 years(Source)
4. Maximum penalty for juveniles caught stealing is 7- 8 years(source)
5. A man receives 7 years for taking bribes(Source)

So where do the perpetrators go?

Back into the community, into our unsuspecting lives, taking advantage of a legal system that is wholeheartedly supporting them. Again and again.

Shared Parenting: Isn't it a little dumb?

A hilarious, but provocative article was written about Australian Family Law reform. As they say, "All truth is made in jest". Its called, "Law Reform By The Frozen Chook", a title that surrounds Barry Williams of the Lone Fathers Association who claims that his wife hit him with a frozen chook. It is important to note that in the same breadth Mr William supported homicides committed by men. It highlights how the family law reforms have been made to accommodate myths that have no research to support them. In fact there is no link between the family court and absent fathers unless he has tried to kill the mother or the kid and even in those circumstances, they might get no over-nights or supervised access. To this day, these groups still attribute family violence to not having "shared parenting".

There are no real laws to protect children and parents from family violence in the family law act, but there are punishments for not being able to substantiate the abuse to the judges requirements of course. Considering the "Pub Law" article, it is sobering to learn that the shared parenting bill was established on the foundation of beer absorbed brain cells. It is after all puzzling to contemplate that if the mother does not do everything the ex wants, she is not complying to shared responsibility and must be punished by relinquishment of the time she spends with the children regardless of the quality of the care she may provide.

Now this doesn't sound like sharing at all. It sounds like the ownership of women and children even after the relinquishment of divorce. If it was truly about shared parenting then, both genders would be held accountable for their "shared responsibility" and if a parent was violent, then they are clearly not being a responsible parent and thus such "rights" do need to be relinquished.

But somehow those beer absorbed brain cells decided that even if they don't get the 3 when they try and add 1+1, they believe that if they continue to add it, they will eventually get that answer and every time they get 2 on the calculator, its a "sign" that they are close to finding 3.
