'If there is a coherent moral order to the present thoughts of the National Women's Council, it is that words no longer mean what they used to. In the Council's prospectus for the year 2009, the word "equality" is used 38 times. Yet clearly, in the sisters' deviant vocabulary, "equality" does not mean equality of pain, or hardship or suffering or poverty. No: it means the opposite of equality. It means a protection from these conditions, regardless of what men are enduring. In other words, lifeboat-feminism, surely the most ignoble and unprincipled of all the many liberal political creeds which dominate our ethos today.'

This kind of site is important because not only does it raise the chance that the perpetrator will be caught and a father-and-child reunion will occur, but it also helps personalize the experiences of the people in question. It highlights the problem of under-enforcement of equal rights when the mother is the perpetrator and the father the victim in a parental child-abduction case such as this.

'Debi Olson had three restraining orders taken out against her. But that didn’t stop the woman from ambushing ex-husband Mauricio Droguett in an Iowa shopping mall last July, fatally stabbing him in front of shocked mall-goers.

Toni Brown of Washington, DC was shot by former girlfriend Raina Johnson on August 12, 2008, leaving the woman paralyzed from her neck down. Johnson is currently serving a 28-year sentence for a crime the judge termed “extraordinarily brutal.” A restraining order had been previously issued against the assailant.

Karen Allende of New York City was walking to work on a September day in 2006 when she was attacked suddenly by her husband. She died that morning on the sidewalk, a restraining order folded neatly in her purse.

Judge Milton Raphaelson of Massachusetts once opined, “Few lives, if any, have been saved, but much harm, and possibly loss of lives, has come from the issuance of restraining orders and the arrests and conflicts ensuring therefrom.”

'In the end, it was one tiny voice that silenced anyone who still had doubts that parental alienation is real and one of the most insidious forms of child abuse.

The voice wasn't real – Dashiell Hart opened his arms wide and threw himself off a Vancouver bridge eight years ago at the age of 16.

But his voice was brought to life at a Toronto conference by his devastated mother, Pamela Richardson, who endured a 12-year court battle with her ex-husband to try to win back the heart and mind of her son.

Dash was just one tiny soldier in the growing army of children who are becoming collateral damage in bitter battles between ex-spouses that are overwhelming Canada's divorce courts, the first Canadian Symposium for Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) heard recently in Toronto'

This April 15th citizens will gather at Tax Day TEA Party rallies in front of city halls all across the country to express their outrage at Congress' wasteful spending. (http://teapartyday.com/)

Like most of the population, the majority of attendees will never have heard of VAWA (the Violence Against Women Act), VOCA (the Victims of Crime Act), or FVPSA (the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act).

But unlike most of the population, this is a motivated group that would be outraged if they knew that through these acts, Congress squanders $1 billion of our tax dollars each year on domestic violence programs that don't solve the problem of domestic violence. And they'd be even more outraged to learn that what we actually get for our $1 billion per year are provisions – slipped into these laws under the radar without any debate – that undermine the very principles of justice that are an essential part of the foundation of any free society. What our annual $1 billion buys us is a heartless system that penalizes millions of innocent people each year, and does so with impunity.

'SASKATOON — A female teacher in northern Saskatchewan is charged with sexual assault after allegedly having a relationship with a 15-year-old male student.

Michelle Marie Francoeur, 37, is charged with one count each of sexual touching, sexual exploitation and sexual assault against the unnamed teen and will make her first court appearance Jan. 27 in Spiritwood, Sask. She was released from custody on an undertaking shortly after the charges were laid.

The charges stem from a Dec. 3 complaint stating Francoeur had an "inappropriate sexual relationship" with the boy between Sept. 1 and Nov. 30, 2008, according to an RCMP media release Friday.'

'A man has told of the pain and humiliation he endured when his estranged wife falsely accused him of rape.

Anthony Scoones, 27, spoke out after Gemma Scoones was jailed for a year for perverting the course of justice.
...
His clothes were taken for forensic examination and he was left naked so that DNA samples could be taken. Mr Scoones said: 'I wasn't just stripped of my clothes, but of my dignity. I was stood there naked, with two police officers at one side of me and a doctor at the other side, having swabs taken from all over my body.
...
Durham Crown Court heard that she told police Mr Scoones followed her home from a shop, forced his way into the house and raped her in a downstairs toilet.

She claimed she was hurt but had not been able to call police immediately because he threatened to petrol-bomb her house.

In Australia, this story appears on the Sydney Morning Herald site. Except:

'POLICE should be able to use initial video evidence given by victims, rather than written statements, to better show in court the effects of domestic violence, an independent MP says.

Legally classing the victims as "vulnerable" would allow police to replace written statements with the raw video, Richard Torbay said as part of a campaign for his New England constituents who had been abused.

"This is something that I believe needs to be done if we are serious about domestic violence," he told the Herald.

The change could encourage perpetrators to plead guilty, avoiding the need for their victims to face them in court, experts said.'

'Charities for battered women have been threatened with the loss of their funding unless they help male victims of domestic violence, under new equality laws.

Women's Aid, the domestic violence charity whose patrons include the prime minister's wife, Sarah Brown, says its female-only services are essential to reassure battered women and children that they will be safe. However, some local authorities are demanding that services such as counselling and outreach be opened to both sexes.

Fiona Mactaggart, the former Home Office minister, said some refuge services had lost grants or contracts in what she said was an "unintended consequence" of changes in equality law.

"There are some local authorities who interpret equalities to mean that a refuge has to provide for men, not only for women," said Mactaggart, co-chair of the women's parliamentary Labour party, a grouping of female MPs. "There are some stupidnesses developing in the system that nobody intended."

It is time for the united front of Fathers-4-Justice and all of its supporters to inform Prosecuting Attorney, Ron O'Brian, and his staff that we do not agree with his “Nifong” type application of the law in the cases, “ Ohio vs. Paul Fisher” aka Superman and “ Ohio vs. Donald Tenn” aka Spiderman.

It has been asked that you call (614) 462-3555 and ask for Ron O'Brian between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM eastern time. If he is unavailable, leave a message and request a return call.

As always, be polite and courteous. With the volume of calls expected, you will most likely be talking to over-worked secretaries, please be considerate.

Our message is simple:

Take a look at what stands between your Canadian brothers and truth, justice and equality. And just imagine, all of this is funded by the taxpayer. So we pay for our own feminist propaganda to be used against us. And this is just one organization. Look at the 'More Information' links. And we have nothing to counter it. From the 'About' page:

'* What is FREDA?
FREDA is one of five violence research centres across the country that were established in 1992 through a five year grant from Health Canada and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). Since its inception, the Centre's mandate has been to facilitate and conduct research on violence against women and children, in order to raise awareness and effect policy.

'A WOMAN who abandoned her baby in a railway station toilet cubicle has walked free from court after successfully arguing that sending her to jail was too strict a sentence.

Lisa Randall, 26, left her eight-month-old son in a cubicle at Bristol Temple Meads station. On Monday, Torquay Magistrates sentenced her to four months in prison for abandoning her child in a way which was likely to cause him "unnecessary suffering".

But yesterday at Exeter Crown Court, her defence argued she felt "threatened and intimidated" in prison and was afraid of the reaction from other inmates if they found out why she was jailed.'

'Family court judges are misguidedly harming children by granting sole custody to one parent – usually the mother – in bitter divorce battles, says a comprehensive new report.

Too many children are being "robbed of the love of one parent" by a legal system that is out of touch with the needs of children and treats them like property to be won or lost, says Edward Kruk, an expert on child custody issues.

"The system is set up to polarize parents, to make them enemies, to set up fights over custody and exacerbate conflict rather than reduce it," says Kruk, an associate professor of social work at the University of British Columbia, whose three-year study is now in the hands of Canada's justice minister.'

Finally a women gets arrested but after she has blackmailed and extorted 10 men. Story here and here. Please note that this businessman brought this to light by hiring private detectives and had lost his finger due to violence by his wife. She earned 20 million rupess this way, a huge sum that can take of at least 5 people for life. I find it most obnoxious that 10 husbands earlier rewarded her for her behaviour instead of fighting it out. Excerpt:

"In the past year, a dozen women have been in Valley courtrooms on charges of sexually abusing minors. They range in age from 20 to 40; their victims from 12 to 17. Each woman was at least five years older than the boy or girl.

Local prosecutors and counselors aren't sure what to make of the apparent increase, but they see interesting differences between male and female offenders - in the nature of the cases, in the severity of punishment and, especially, in the way the abusers and their victims are viewed by the people around them.

"There's an enormous public perception problem," said Jean Fisher, who prosecutes sex abuse cases for Ada County. "If the boy's under 14, people might say 'poor little fellow,' but with a 16- or 17-year-old boy, you're more likely to hear, 'Oh, man, he got lucky!'"
