 “All she wanted was her kids."
Sian, Nia’s sister An inquest into a Welsh Mother’s tragic death concluded that the cause of her death was suicide by hanging. What the report doesn’t say is that it was Family Court that caused Nia to commit suicide. Nia's relationship with the father of her children was framed as “toxic”, which put the blame equally on her. She was made to feel like she was a bad mother, but her own mother confirmed she was really an excellent mother. Nia's self-esteem plummeted, she was unable to continue in her career, and she was overwhelmed by the legal proceedings. The loss and inability to protect her children became just too painful for her to bear. MSM (mainstream media) is reporting that Nia took her life due to “chronic anxiety”. They do not report that her anxiety was justified, caused by Family Court switching custody to her ex. MSM virtually never puts the blame where it belongs—on Family Court judges, and the system itself—when mothers or children lose their lives by suicide or murder during a custody battle. This cover-up by the media of the deliberate disempowerment and devastation of mothers in Family Courts contributes greatly to the perpetuation of the Crisis. It's up to social media to report the truth about the Custody Crisis.

 “…Courts continue to value the rights and freedoms of abusive men over women’s fundamental human rights to live and raise their children in peace and security.”
A Canadian activist has written an excellent column on the age-old crisis of women leaving abusive men—only to lose their children to them, and sometimes their children’s or their own lives in the process. Unlike most journalists, Donna Johnson nails the cause of this crisis as persisting systemic patriarchy. This article was written on November 25th—the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Although the two issues overlap, it is important to recognize that the Custody Crisis is different than Domestic Violence. Most custody cases involve some form of DV, but many do not. This means the core issue is not DV/child abuse, but Power—the power men have to take children from women and the power women do not have to maintain custody or protect them, regardless of whether the father is violent. And, although Ms. Johnson correctly identifies the cause of the crisis as persisting systemic patriarchy, she mistakes some things. She suggests that judges are not protecting women and children because they cannot “read the evidence” so should work with battered women’s shelters to understand DV better. But, since the cause of the Custody Crisis is the deliberate judicial entitling of men and disempowering of women—not that they do not understand DV/abuse—that will make no difference. The only thing that will make any significant difference is to remove the power judges have to take and endanger our children. ARTICLE: Why do we keep mistreating women who have been abused? Instead of supporting them, our patriarchal justice system still throws them to the wolves. https://ottawacitizen.com/opinion/johnson-why-do-we-keep-mistreating-women-who-have-been-abused EXCERPTS: I’ve been on this watch for 35 years, beginning in 1986 in a rural Ontario women’s shelter. My colleagues and I did some good work. But if you ask anyone who has been at this for a long time, you will hear the same answer: nothing has changed. Women continue to leave violent men at their peril. No woman gets out of an abusive relationship unscathed, and some will pay the ultimate price with their lives and/or their children’s lives. These are the names we read aloud on Nov. 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Women continue to be thrown to the wolves by justice systems in every country on the planet. “The legal system is designed to protect men from the superior power of the state but not to protect women or children from the superior power of men,” wrote psychiatrist and author Judith Herman. We live in a patriarchy, defined by the Oxford Dictionary as “a system of society or government in which men hold the power and women are largely excluded from it.” In a patriarchy, men are both rule makers and judges, and they always come out on top. Police and courts continue to value the rights and freedoms of abusive men over women’s fundamental human rights to live and raise their children in peace and security. Most women are unaware that they live in a world that has little intention of helping them when they come under threat. It took years of witnessing police and courts slam the door on women to face up to it myself. It took years of burying women and children. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing; it made no sense. We insult, degrade, accuse and disbelieve the victims of men’s violence. We make them jump though hoops, appease and placate them, patronize them with half-baked solutions to life-threatening problems. We make them grovel. Women are made to scurry like rats in a maze, searching for safe exit. Tossed a pellet now and again, they keep pressing those levers. But ultimately, all exits are blocked. Women and children are murdered in this country on a regular basis. I think we need to ask ourselves why we are lying to women. Why do we keep telling them to leave when we have no real intention of helping them beyond providing supports and resources? Leaving an abusive relationship does not stop abuse; it’s the time of highest risk. Shelters and resources don’t stop abuse either. Only stopping abusive men stops abuse. Violence against women is not accidental. Neither are police and justice system failures. Both are necessary in a functioning patriarchy. They go hand-in-hand to ensure that women remain subordinated. … Liel and Orli, five and three years old, were murdered Sept. 22 while on an access visit to their father’s Aylmer home. Despite their battered mother’s concerns for their safety (and her own) she was compelled to grant access. ...Women have the right to live without assault or the threat of assault, and without the fear that their children may be harmed. No woman should be forced to deliver her children into the hands of an abusive man. It should be automatic no-contact with assaultive men, with all resources thrown behind the mothers. This must become the default position in our family courts, otherwise women and children will continue to needlessly suffer and die. The vulnerability of women, particularly those who are mothers, must be recognized. Women must be believed when they say they are afraid — no exceptions — and their batterers must be swiftly and effectively sanctioned and restrained. In a situation of interpersonal violence, the woman herself is the crime scene. Her trauma and fear, even her silence and reluctance, with or without physical injury, is the evidence. Our police stations, courts and prisons are flooded with suffering women. A paradigm shift is required to recognize the underlying patriarchal structure that drives and sustains men’s power and control over women.

Star to Family Court judge On Sunday, Star was stabbed to death by her ex in front of their son. Washington State Judge Carin Schienberg had denied Star’s pleas for protection for both herself and her son. Visitation with the documented-violent father and their 8 year-old son continued. Star had repeatedly told the judge she feared for her son’s and her lives. She related multiple violent incidents to the court dating back to at least 2017. Star told Judge Schienberg that her ex had threatened, hit and choked her multiple times. But, despite her repeated, credible reports of physical and emotional abuse over the course of many years, Judge Schienberg denied the requested Protective Order on the grounds there was “insufficient evidence”. “Insufficient evidence” is the go-to judicial finding to justify an order entitling and empowering the abusive father over “his” woman and children, often coupled with some way of discrediting the mother. The problem is clear: judges have too much power in deciding custody and visitation. There is great pressure from the patriarchal powers-that-be for them to keep men empowered and entitled in their family domain. Star’s son is going to suffer immensely due to Schienberg’s discriminatory ruling that led to the murder of his mother. She should be removed from the bench, however, getting rid of individual judges will do nothing to end the crisis. Women must unite and demand a new system.

“You essentially allowed my son to be murdered. You had proof in front of your eyes that Corey was in danger and ignored it. Shame on you.” Corey’s mother to Family Court Judge The day after Corey’s mother, Breanna, begged New Jersey Family Court Judge Patrick Bradshaw to protect her child, little six year-old Corey was killed. Breanna had dutifully brought Little Corey to the court-mandated visit with his abusive father at 9am and by 3pm that same day, Little Corey was dead. Judge Bradshaw had told Breanna there was “not enough evidence” of abuse, despite Corey telling doctors his father was hurting him, bruising on his body, and several reports to child protective services. Judges routinely rule that there is not enough evidence, even though a good, loving mother believes the father is abusive and there is corroborating evidence. So Breanna had to do what mothers everywhere, everyday in family courts around the world are forced against their will to do: obey an order which she knows endangers her child. Corey died of blunt force trauma to his heart and liver. The autopsy found previously healed internal injuries as well. Breanna had tried unsuccessfully for a long time to protect him. The father has pleaded not guilty, but Breanna contends, “I have no doubt in my mind that his father basically beat Corey to death.” The case is going to a grand jury. A criminal trial is surely upcoming. Watch this page for updates. RIP Little Corey; Condolences Protective Mom Breanna SHARE and comment in support of Breanna!

The judge said father and I couldn't communicate. The father’s family is friends with attorneys and politicians.
This caused my younger children to be split from their older siblings and no one cared. I was given every other weekend and Wednesdays after school until 7:30 p.m. The father and his family attempted to alienate me and my family from the kids but thankfully were not successful. I have all 3 of my kids living with me since July as the two older ones moved in just before their 18th birthdays. My youngest is 15-1/2 and I got a call to pick him up from school as he was having a meltdown and his dad wouldn’t pick him up. He hasn’t gone back to his dad's to live. I’ll continue to pay child support just to stay out of the corrupt courtroom.

Box 501956, San Diego, CA 92150  The Truth Is: There Is No “Protective Parent Dilemma”
The “Protective Parent's Dilemma” discussion panel is an offshoot of the excellent documentary “Allen v. Farrow”, but unfortunately, it is spreading misinformation about the Custody Crisis which is important to rebut and clarify. Allen v. Farrow is an eye-opening documentary that details the efforts of actress Mia Farrow to protect her daughter, Dylan, after she reported sexual abuse by her father, director Woody Allen. This panel, however, is portraying the Custody Crisis as a mere difficulty that both fathers and mothers encounter while attempting to protect their children in Family Court. That is far from the truth. The truth is: there is no mere “Dilemma” that “Parents” face. There is a Crisis devastating countless mothers and their children, not fathers. Judges are routinely switching custody from good, loving mothers to abusive and child-molesting fathers, not vice versa. In furtherance of this spin, moderator Kathleen Russell—founder of Center for Judicial Excellence, a gender-neutral Family Court reform organization—invited on the panel two fathers claiming the mothers of their children are abusive and alienating. (A quick google search casts doubt on at least one of them.) Russell brought on the panel only one protective mother and a friend of Mia’s, who admitted she doesn’t know much of anything about the Family Court “dilemma” that was the subject of her panel. Russell asks the two men to talk about how they were alienated from their children by the purportedly abusive mothers. This spins parental alienation to a gender-neutral issue as well, which clearly contradicts facts, evidence and the message in the documentary: that it is mothers like Mia who are being regularly falsely accused by judges of alienation after reporting child sexual abuse by the father. The two fathers complain about having had to spend a lot of money on their custody case. This is the position of the neo-fathers’ rights organizations, who claim the problem is family court officials profiting off both fathers and mothers. Russell has supported the fathers’ rights pseudo-documentary “Divorce Corp”, which asserts the problem in Family Court is gender-neutral profiteering. The solution proffered for this profiteering is the fathers’ rights main agenda: mandatory equal parenting laws, which are extremely harmful to women and children. So, some mothers who support the “cottage industry” explanation may be inadvertently supporting activism that harms them. Framing the Custody Crisis as a gender-neutral dilemma is not only inaccurate, it is incredibly damaging to women’s efforts to end the crisis. It confuses, diverts, and divides when it is vital for women to come together as women, as a class, in order to gain the power necessary to end the systemic male entitlement/discrimination causing the crisis.

Box 501956, San Diego, CA 92150  Judge Jonathon Newell, the only circuit judge in Caroline County, Maryland, killed himself Thursday while FBI agents outside his home called on a speaker for him to surrender to arrest.
Newell shot himself rather than be held accountable for his serial crimes against children, despite the fact he had spent his career holding other criminals responsible as district attorney, state attorney and as a judge for the last five years. Newell was the only circuit court judge in Caroline County so he most likely presided over contested custody cases. SUMMARY: Two boys found a camera which was recording them undress in the bathroom of Newell's hunting cabin. Newell blamed it on another man who had been there with four other boys. But during a previous interview and search warrant, Newell had swallowed a memory card. An agent suspected it and it was found in his intestines with an X-ray. Newell was seen in some of the recorded videos, so it was a strong case Newell had little chance of winning. Although much MSM concentrates on Newell creating child porn/child exploitation through the use of a hidden camera in his bathroom, many children say he also molested them. He would fondle their genitals under the guise of checking them for ticks after they undressed and before they got in the shower. A more thorough post-mortem investigation may turn up more victims and crimes. The man who was there with four other boys needs to be identified and investigated. If anyone in the Maryland area wants to follow up on that, please message TWC. MORAL OF THE STORY: NO JUDGE should have the power to decide child custody or visitation. This power is too important and impactful to be trusted to judges, who too often rule to entitle and empower fathers rather than for the safety and well-being of children. Instead of Family Court judges deciding custody/visitation, it should be a jury in a regular civil court. Reforms within the Family Court system will not work. The Child Custody Act provides for a new system in which women will get due process and children will be protected. As soon as there is enough support for it, we will introduce it to legislatures.

Still Not Able to Protect Son from Father MSM reports: “Mum Wins Custody Battle for Son”. However, it would be more accurate to report the judge finally decided, after a traumatic 4 years in Family Court, that Ellie would “not lose” custody as a result of her efforts to protect her son from his abusive father. UK mum Ellie was just about to lose custody three years ago, because Justice David Williams discredited her reports of abuse by her ex and characterized her efforts for protection as emotional abuse. That’s when she fled into hiding, ending up in Greece. And MSM omits the most important part: In order to maintain custody, Ellie must shut up about her ex’s abuse of her and her son, and force Olly to visit him unsupervised, whether he wants to or not. That is not exactly a win but it is better than most women get in Family Court. Judge Williams continues to cover up paternal abuse, not rule in Olly’s best interest, and not protect him from an abusive father as is required by law and social consensus. Mothers like Ellie around the world are being given the same horrible choice every day in Family Courts: allow your children to be unsupervised with the abusive father or lose custody. SUMMARY In 2018, Ellie’s attorney informed her she was about to lose custody, because Judge David Williams viewed her efforts to protect 3 year-old Olly from his father as emotional abuse. So she fled to Greece with him. The father and D.A. were unable to locate her, so her judge, Judge David Williams, lifted the usual reporting restrictions and got MSM to publicize the case and make Ellie look bad, in the hopes of someone turning her in. Judge Williams even tweeted about it, assuring her he would listen to them if they returned. TWC found out about Ellie and posted the truth on social media, including a heart-wrenching letter she had written about why she had to leave [linked below]. In it, she described violence and abuse by her ex, including serial rape, severe emotional abuse, coercive control, and stalking. She said Olly told her about his father physically and emotionally abusing him as well. After 8 months in hiding, Ellie was caught at a border crossing. She made a deal with the D.A. to drop her domestic violence complaint against her ex in return for the dismissal of the criminal “abduction” charge against her. At a Family Court hearing, she was allowed to maintain custody of Olly. Our Facebook posts about her case got many thousands of views. The public outrage generated may have contributed to Ellie being treated much better than most women who run with their children. Most end up in prison and/or with supervised or no contact with their children. This is why women need to band together to push back against what these judges are doing.

Box 501956, San Diego, CA 92150 [Pictured: Ellie and Olly; Ellie’s letter; Justice David Williams]  Yet another father, angry at his ex after she filed for divorce, murdered his two children, just hours before a Family Court hearing. He shot 13 year-old Madison and 10 year-old Zachary in his Eerie, Pennsylvania home before setting the house on fire and shooting himself.
Melissa saw her ex’s rising anger over the six months since she filed for divorce, and especially in the last month. She warned him that his anger was “not in the children’s best interests”. She obviously sensed danger and would have kept her kids away from him, but was probably warned she would be held in contempt and accused of some version of alienating the children from him. Melissa was requesting a new therapist for the children, but the father was against opposed to that. It is unclear why Melissa wanted a new therapist, or why the father was against it, but that is consistent with the epidemic of court-appointed/affiliated therapists minimizing or concealing abuse or other negative facts about the father. Research and statistics clearly show that women and their children are in the most danger when leaving the father of their children. This fact alone should give mothers the power to keep children away from fathers when they believe he is a danger. But Melissa had no power to keep the children away from him without a protective order, which is difficult to get if the father has not already committed provable, serious child abuse. Countless mothers find themselves in this horrible predicament. It’s time women unite to take back the power to keep and protect our children—after thousands of years of patriarchal systems empowering fathers to the great detriment of mothers our children.

“She is terrified that he is going to come back and finish the job, and nobody will do anything to stop him…But Andrea is more concerned about her kids. She is terrified for them.” Melissa, friend of Andrea’s Andrea was shot four times in the middle of the night with her four children, ages 5 to 12, in their home in Houston, Texas. Two of the children ran “in a panic” to the neighbor’s house. Andrea’s ex is captured on videotape going into and out of the house at the time of the shooting. It was a well-planned attack. He turned off the power, disabled the home alarm, and brought a friend to help him. Andrea’s friend says her ex began harassing, stalking and breaking into her home after their divorce. She called the police many times, but they never arrested him. Andrea had applied for a Restraining Order, but ironically, it was denied by a judge who had campaigned as a victim of domestic violence, Judge Barbara Stalder [pictured]. Andrea survived the shooting with major injuries requiring multiple surgeries. Incredibly, the D.A. did not charge her ex with attempted murder, only aggravated assault and burglary, as if he had been there as a thief, shooting her as a by-product of a theft, rather than as an angry man out to destroy his ex. He was apparently gave a discount being it was "just" the mother of his children. Unbelievably, Judge Amy Martin granted the father bail. She ordered, ridiculously, that he stay more than 200 feet away from her, knowing full well a piece of paper has not stopped violent men from murdering their exes and children when they are angry at losing control. There was a custody hearing scheduled for later that day, supporting the reason for the attempted murder was his anger at loss of control. Judge Stalder knew he was a danger to Andrea and denied her a protective order. Judge Amy Martin knows what a danger he still is and has allowed him to go free anyway. Judges Martin and Stalder are perfect examples of the countless women judges who support systemic male entitlement, selling women out for a warm seat at the old boys’ table. SHAME on Judge Barbara Stalder and Judge Amy Martin! MSM: She Wanted a New Restraining Order.
