Child abuse soaring in Ontario

Ah yes so the CAS looks for more money and societal credibility. We are not fooled. Time to have the CAS investigated and all these claims examined by an independent team of investigators. What I want to know is how many innocent parents-especially (but not exclusively) Dads- have been ruined as a result of this exercise in organizational justification? And notice in the website launched as part of their campaign.  No Dad in the pictures. Anywhere.

Parenting and the Britney Spears Drama 

 

Canadian Fathers Rights Activists their constituents and supporters generally take no pleasure in hearing of the US drama and the removal of the children of Britney Spears from her custody by a US Judge

 

Regardless of the negative social behaviour of the Mother we appreciate that in cases like this the children always lose the most. No-one should ever lose custody of theirchildren. Neither the Mother or the Father. Canadian Fathers in particular are  almost exclusively of firm mind in this and are always in consideration of the children's best interests . We make it clear that we support equal parenting and that children belong  in the custody of their Mother AND their Father.  What has happened in the Britney Spears case is all very tragic and unfortunate. For the children.  

 

As casual observers and like most parents we don't care much for the Mother and her social difficulties as she is but we recognize that her children love their Mom and they need her. Just as they need their Dad. Just as all our children have needed us.  Yet in Canada today the general rule of family law grants prime custody to the Mother almost exclusively and turns the Father into a mere 'visitor' in his chidren's lives. 

 

Fathers don't have to do anything wrong. Bias and discrimination is ever-present when it comes down to parenting options in Canadian Family Law. Its been the norm for some time now and will be for for some time to come-unless we have anything to do with it. No matter what we do and no matter what our suggested status of 'equality' is under the Canadian Charter, Canadian Fathers have no rights at all when it comes to being divorced or separated parents. The reality is we are 24 hour parents one day and then twice-a-month 'soon-to-be-strangers' the next day-all at the bang of a Gavel. We deserve to be the parents we became when our children were born, Canadian Mothers deserve no less.

So does Britney Spears.

RIGHTS OF CHILD IGNORED BY SUPREME COURT OF BC (AGAIN)

 

Madam Justice SMITH of the Supreme Court of British Columbia chose to ignore the right of every child to be cared for by his or her parents. Article 7 (1) United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

 

We do not know anything about the father of this child because our legislative regime is perverted to exclude parents.

 

Only in the most extreme of circumstance should a parent of a child be excluded from the opportunity to act on his or her child’s behalf.

 

Every extraordinary effort should be put to identifying the father of this child so that he too can make an informed decision with respect to the care of his child.

 

Until common sense prevails children will continue to have their rights violated.

 

The default care of a child should fall to the other parent at any time that one of the parents becomes unable or is unwilling. Gender is not and never has been a determining factor in child rearing ability. To make decisions and base legislation on the assumption that one parent is capable and the other has no say is not only unconstitutional, it is ridiculous.

 

Fathers-4-Justice (Canada) is a non-violent direct action organization committed to the establishment of a fair and balanced family rebuilding system based on equality for all, the presumption that legislation should clearly establish every child’s right to equality in parental roles, and the obvious premise that in the vast majority of cases children should never have a parent removed from them by state action.

It’s Time to Tell the Truth

About Domestic Violence

Partner Violence: An Equal Opportunity Problem

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

The month is designed to increase awareness how to make our homes safe from

partner violence.

So what is the truth about intimate partner aggression? 

Nearly 200 scientific studies point to this simple conclusion:

Women are at least as likely as men to engage in partner aggression.

This is what leading researchers say:

“Research indicates that women can be just as violent as their partners.” 

– Irene Hanson Frieze, Psychology of Women’s Quarterly, 2005

“Recent evidence from the best designed studies indicates that intimate partner violence is committed by both genders with often equal consequences.”  –

Donald Dutton, Aggression and Violent Behavior, 2006

“Differences were observed in the rates of male and female partner violence, with female violence occurring more frequently.”

 – Renee McDonald, Journal of Family Psychology, 2006

What Does the Latest Research Say?

- A 2007 survey sponsored by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control of young adults found that 71% of the instigators in nonreciprocal partner violence were women.

- A national survey of married and co-habiting partners found that 8% of women engaged in severe partner violence, while only 4% of men were involved in severe violence. 

Renee McDonald, Journal of Family Psychology, March 2006.  www.smu.edu/experts/study-documents/familyviolence-study-may2006.pdf

Men often suffer injuries from their wives or girlfriends.  

According to a 2000 analysis by John Archer, PhD, men suffer 38% of all injuries arising from partner aggression.  But men often endure their pain in silence and don’t report the incident.

As a result, the media and others often present a one-sided and distorted view of the problem.

What’s Wrong with Making False Claims?

Domestic violence industry advocates often make claims such as “95% of DV victims are women”.

These false statements only make the problem worse because:

• Abusive women can’t get the help they need.

• Male victims are denied services.

• False allegations of abuse escalate partner conflict and families are harmed.

• Aggressive domestic violence laws short-circuit due process protections and create a presumption of guilt-until-proven-innocent.

Warren Moon was the first Black quarterback to be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.  One evening Warren Moon got into a fight with his wife.  The police were called and Mr. Moon was arrested.  Against Mrs. Moon’s wishes, the case went to trial.  Placed on the witness stand, Mrs. Moon admitted that she was the one who had started the fight by throwing a candlestick, and that her husband had only acted in self-defense.  Warren Moon was acquitted.  Domestic violence is not a gender-specific problem.

RADAR is spearheading the VAWA Reform Coalition, a group of organizations around the country that is working to educate the public about domestic violence:

Government Tries to Shut Fathers 4 Justice Web Site

 
The government has attempted to close the Fathers 4 Justice web site after the group published the names and addresses of Family Court Judges on it as part of it¹s 'Judgebuster' campaign.

The Ministry of Justice threatened to close the groups web site immediately if it did not comply with its demands that F4J removed the details of the Judges from it¹s site citing the Data Protection Act.

In a heated exchange between Phil Goulding from the Judicial Communications Office and F4J Founder Matt O'Connor, the Ministry of Justice were unable to provide the relevant section of the Data Protection Act F4J was alleged to have breached even though the department drafted the legislation for it. It was also unable to cite which individual had complained about their information being published.

The group say that the information is widely available on the internet and that it exists on numerous web sites in the UK and across the globe.

Said Matt O'Connor, "This is bullyboy banana republic tactics more akin to that of a Burmese Army General than those we associate with a progressive modern democracy. We will not be intimidated, in fact to the contrary, we will now step up our campaign to challenge the authority of the family courts. We will bear witness and give testimony about what happens behind closed doors - after all, what have the Judiciary got to hide?" "Britain's family court judges are unelected, unaccountable and unsackable. Members of the public wish to hold them to account in open people's courts, and if not there, I see they have little choice than to write to them at their home addresses as the appeals and complaints procedure is a charade."

Fathers 4 Justice say that the government has backtracked on it¹s commitment to open up the family courts to public and media scrutiny.
