UK to Allow DV Charges Brought by Third Parties

	posted by Scott on Tuesday November 20, @06:18AM from the domestic-violence dept.
	In one of the most disturbing moves since Ontario's Bill 117, I learned from this UK Independent story that a new law will allow third parties to bring charges of domestic violence against the victim's will. The move is meant to protect women who are too afraid or unwilling to press charges against their abuser. Most disturbingly, "Possible candidates for this role include social services departments, voluntary groups working with survivors of domestic violence as well as the police." The second group is the one I'm most concerned about.

DV Charges by Trudy W Schuett on Tuesday November 20, @09:54AM EST (#1) (User #116 Info) This is already happening in practice, here in the US, although there is no law allowing it. Often women are coerced into filing DV charges, under threat of having their children removed from the home. The woman is targeted no matter who is actually the offender, and in some cases no violence against people has actually occurred. Sometimes the children are removed anyway, even when she does cooperate.

Typical anti-male discrimination by Thomas on Tuesday November 20, @10:55AM EST (#2) (User #280 Info) Note that this program allows charges to be brought only against men, ostensibly for the sake of women who won't otherwise press charges. No mention is made of protecting men from women, when the men wouldn't otherwise press charges. Actually, even if the program allowed for such a theoretical balance, that balance probably wouldn't be realized because the police, social workers and charities would be far more concerned with the welfare of women than of men. And that screwball on another MANN thread claims that there's at least as much misogyny as misandry. What a pathological liar! What a feminist! Oooops! Repeated myself.

Re:Typical anti-male discrimination by stevenpauljones on Tuesday November 20, @01:54PM EST (#3) (User #329 Info) What a nightmare this is. Professional female supremacists can now rip any man apart with a cry of 'domestic violence' without even knowing him. The 'shelters' are a haven for hate and misandric lies and now they are given broad powers to destroy males in heterosexual relationships. I wonder if these anti-male witch hunts will be remembered the same as the witch hunts in Salem or the Spanish Inquisition? They certainly should be. How long before they start gasing the accused men to get rid of the overflow in prisons? We already have slave labor, just like the Nazis did to the Jews. All thats left is the executions. I hate to say it, but I see no light at the end of this nazi holocaust tunnel. It just keeps getting darker and darker.
