 Dana, a Russian-American mother of three, was sentenced in Kansas District Court to 7 years in prison, plus three more years under surveillance in the U.S. Currently her children remain in Russia with her family.
Dana's trial was unfair and biased, as Dana’s affirmative defense for taking her children to Russia was sabotaged by the judge’s ruling that prohibited evidence of physical, emotional, sexual and financial abuse by her ex from getting to the jury. The incredible irony here is that the prosecutor charged Dana with extortion, while simultaneously extorting her via the children. She was offered a deal if she agreed to return the children to her ex. The family court often uses the complicit criminal justice system to keep a father in control after divorce. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Representative Ron Estes are still trying to compel Russia to return the children to the father. This kind of State involvement has never, and would never, occur if it were a mother trying to get her children back from a father who had taken children to his native country. It is not likely a coincidence that this sentence is long enough to ensure Dana will miss her children’s entire childhoods. This is the ultimate punishment for a woman who dares challenge the father’s authority.

 “I am terrified for my family's safety…We are all terrified to disobey my husband. I know that filing for divorce and filing this motion will enrage him. I know he will retaliate by trying to harm me in some way.”
- Protective Mom Jennifer in court filing Jennifer, a loving mother of 5, ranging in age from 8 to 13, has been missing for over a week and is feared dead. The missing persons investigation turned criminal after blood, and evidence of a clean-up, was discovered at her home. Despite credible and corroborated reports that her ex is seriously abusive and that she justifiably feared for her children’s and her lives, the judge denied a protective order and granted joint custody. Her ex reportedly threatened to kill her, threatened to kidnap the children, and engaged in controlling, volatile and delusional behavior. It was only after the father violated the custody order by allowing a romantic partner to stay at his house, that the judge restricted the father’s visitation. The children are staying with their maternal grandparents right now, but the father has filed an emergency motion for the children to be returned to him. It will be heard on Wednesday at the Stamford Family Court at 10 am. Hopefully this time the judge will finally rule in the best interests of the children and protect them. Jennifer has been forced to endure custody battles for over two years. It is the Coalition’s position that any woman who is a victim of abuse by her ex, or whose children are victims, should automatically be granted sole custody, and the father’s visits supervised. This is not only in the best interests of children, which is prevailing law, it would deter men’s violence against their exes. The problem is that judges are wrongly finding that there is not preponderance of evidence of abuse when it easily reaches that burden of proof. That is why we need a new system. See the proposed new custody court system in which juries decide custody in a "real" civil court: https://www.womenscoalitioninternational.org/the-solution.html FOLLOWING are excerpts from: Jennifer Dulos feared her estranged husband https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/local/article/Divorce-proceedings-Missing-New-Canaan-woman-13903609.php#photo-17569227 A mother of five children who went missing last week said she feared her estranged husband would harm her in retaliation for her attempting to gain full custody of their children in a divorce case that began two years ago, according to court documents. … Much of the often fierce divorce battle with her husband, Fotis Dulos, has centered on custody of their five children, who are between the ages of 8 and 13, including two pairs of twins. While the divorce is still in litigation, Jennifer Dulos has been awarded [primary] physical custody of the children after a judge last year found Fotis Dulos to be an unhealthy influence on the children. … Documents from the divorce proceedings reveal that Jennifer Dulos claimed her husband was verbally abusive and she worried he would attempt to take their children from her. “I am afraid of my husband,” reads an affidavit tied to an order of custody filed in June 2017. “I know that filing for divorce and filing this motion will enrage him. I know he will retaliate by trying to harm me in some way.” In the affidavit, Jennifer Dulos claimed Fotis Dulos had exhibited “irrational, unsafe, bullying, threatening and controlling behavior.” The document says, “I am afraid for my safety and the physical safety and emotional well-being of our minor children.” … The affidavit from Jennifer Dulos also stated that Fotis Dulos had threatened to kidnap the children and take them to his native Greece or somewhere else. He told Jennifer Dulos, “You will never find us,” according to the document. … Jennifer Dulos said she grew increasingly afraid of her husband after he purchased a handgun about two years ago. “I am terrified for my family’s safety, especially since discovering the gun, since my husband has a history of controlling, volatile and delusional behavior,” the affidavit says.

It is unknown whether she committed suicide, as the cause of death has not been released. She had told a friend that she could not live in a world where she could not protect her boys, but other friends say she was not suicidal and would never have left her boys alone with their father.
The Women’s Coalition posted about Nashwa’s case last August [linked below]. Despite a tremendous amount of evidence that her ex was sexually abusing her 6 year-old twins, Judge Joan Ryon accused Nashwa of lying and coaching the boys, and gave sole custody to the father. The boys would cry on visits when they had to leave her, not understanding why they could not stay with their mother, who they wanted to live with. Nashwa’s case fits the pattern of thousands, perhaps millions around the world, where Family Court judges disregard evidence of abuse by fathers and falsely accuse mothers of lying. Women and children are suffering immensely as a result of this institutionalized entitling of men and discrimination against women. Please join us in our fight for a new system that provides for due process and ensures the true “best interests of the children”: www.WomensCoalitionInternational.org RIP Nashwa PREVIOUS post with more info: Maryland Judge Disregards “Extraordinary Amount of Evidence” https://www.facebook.com/TheWomensCoalition/posts/maryland-judge-disregards-extraordinary-amount-of-evidence-makes-faustian-bargai/2189569954650652/ FB page: https://www.facebook.com/nashwa.holt VIDEO of Nashwa’s son reportedly telling her about abuse: https://www.facebook.com/nashwa.holt/videos/10155995867993639/ MSM coverage: Failure To Protect: Air Force Handling Of Colonel's Child Sex Assault Charges Raises Questions https://www.forbes.com/sites/tarahaelle/2018/07/26/failure-to-protect-air-force-handling-of-colonels-child-sex-assault-charges-raises-questions/?fbclid=IwAR21t7fWwZ1rANd5nzNQyv_HdhIDVYWtZXdLOzgK114P5mDERo5ZW0Pgyg4#5ff39aff6e87 Young Boys Allegedly Abused By Air Force Colonel Now In His Sole Custody https://www.forbes.com/sites/tarahaelle/2018/08/17/young-boys-allegedly-abused-by-air-force-colonel-now-in-his-sole-custody/?fbclid=IwAR2MpLDDslt8Wk_IvvUb812TYVHSy63Sys4KCfIS_hn-53SuhHCxozMnnYw#2f92d9351eef LETTER from U.S. Representatives requesting action: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4546425-GIllibrand-Kennedy-Tsongas-Letter-to-USAF-12.html COMMENT on TWC post: "My husband represented [Nashwa] the mom of two 6-year-old boys who were allegedly being abused by their father, a decorated, high-ranking officer in the Air Force. Even with everything from medical records, to photographs, to videos, it was decided that it was not enough to take him to [military/criminal] court. Who would believe 2 little boys and a frantic and hysterical mom when the accused is a US war hero? No one. She couldn't even get a day in court. The details of this case is so disturbing and I had a hard time accepting that this is happening in the US. They depicted the mom as delusional and vindictive. That the mom, who a Harvard graduated anesthesiologist, was not reliable. That she was smart enough to brainwash her boys and that she coached them into saying what they did. Last fall the [family] court granted full custody of both boys to the father...even with the boys crying and saying that "daddy" hurts them. They allowed her visitation rights. And each time she saw them...they were thinner...they were wearing dirty clothes. She took pictures. I have heard this mom. I've heard her cry. I've heard her call my husband at all hours of the night, pleading with him to not stop fighting for them. This was the one case that kept him up night after night. The last time I heard her...months ago, I remember hearing her she say that she didn't want to live in a world where she couldn't protect her boys. Yesterday was Mother's Day. My husband texted her to wish her and to tell her that she is an amazing mother and to not give up. But she had lost all hope in our justice system...in humanity itself. We got word a few hours ago that she committed suicide. Like she said, she couldn't live in a world where she couldn't protect her boys. TWC NOTE: It is not because Nashwa's husband is a war hero that he got custody. This is happening to millions of women. It's because he is the father and there is an agenda to keep fathers empowered over women and children after separation or divorce."  New York - Yet another tragedy caused by a Family Court judge enabling an angry and dangerous father to harm his child by granting unsupervised visitation, despite a mother's pleas for protection.
Although Cherone says that she should have risked jail and kept Zoey, it likely would not have saved her. Eventually the judge would have been able to force her to visit her father, using CPS or law enforcement if necessary. Zoe’s case fits into the pattern of judges all over the world who empower fathers after divorce to the great detriment of women and children. This is not happening because judges don’t have proper training, or they are being fooled by narcissistic men, or they disbelieve mothers, or the court doesn't have enough resources, or there isn't a law to protect children. In fact, virtually all jurisdictions have laws which prioritize children’s safety over parents’ rights. No, this scourge is occurring due to the systemic agenda to empower men after divorce, the main staging grounds being Family Court, since that is where custody is decided. The fact that family court judges have the power to violate laws which protect children (and women) is the problem. The only way to stop judges from taking children away from loving mothers and endangering them by giving them to controlling and abusive fathers is to remove judges’ power to decide custody and provide other due process protections.

Coleman told The News that the girl's vindictive dad, Martin Pereira, had become unhinged in recent weeks as they battled over Zoey's custody. Coleman said she had gone to court to modify their visitation agreement, but a judge denied her request. Against her wishes, but with the court's blessing, she said, Pereira left with the girl for a weekend visit on Saturday and Sunday. It was only the second time he had been entrusted with Zoey since she and Pereira broke up, Coleman said. …Coleman said she then called 911 in a panic to report she had argued with her ex and she feared he was going to harm himself and their daughter. The phone calls were just a prelude to the horror that unfolded on Sunday night. That's when Zoey died in in the back of her father's flame-engulfed Audi, on Baisley Blvd. at 154th St., near Baisley Pond Park. The doors to the car were chained shut as bright orange flames roared in the passenger compartment, said witnesses. …The fire was so hot, the car door handles securing the chains melted, enabling rescuers to get inside. They rushed Zoey to Jamaica Hospital in a police vehicle, but she could not be saved. …Cops on Monday morning declared little Zoey's death a homicide. TWC NOTE: If you find out who the judge in this case is, please comment or pm and we will update this post. RIP Little Zoey [Pictured: Cherone and Zoey]  A $100,000 warrant was issued Friday for the arrest of a woman believed to be in hiding with her 14 year-old daughter. Family Court Judge Chad Allred [pictured] commissioned law enforcement to charge Protective Mom Leslie with criminal custodial interference so he can force a teenager to live with a father she says is physically and emotionally abusive and of whom she is afraid. Police and media are spreading the Judge Allred's false narrative that Leslie is lying about domestic violence she experienced, despite corroborating medical evidence. He says the reason Vail does not want to be with her father is that Leslie is brainwashing (alienating) Vail against him: the most common tactic used to switch custody to the father. This dishonest narrative gets the public to sympathize with the father and dislike Leslie so they will turn her in. The Women’s Coalition encourages the public to NOT fall for the lies spread by Judge Allred and his abettors. Leslie’s case fits the pattern that millions of women’s cases around the world follow: judges disregard negative evidence about fathers and fabricate negative evidence about mothers to justify switching custody to the father. [See a detailed look at the Family court playbook at WomensCoalitionInternational.org] Both Leslie and Vail have reported abuse by the father, for which there is corroborating evidence, but Judge Allred has discredited their reports so he can justify giving custody to the father. When Vail refused to visit her father, Judge Allred used the common tactic with teens of ordering “reunification therapy” with an insider psychologist, whose job is to coercively persuade (brainwash) the child into agreeing to live with the father. Isolation of the child from her mother with threats of never seeing her mother again ensures success, but Vail was strong and did not break. Vail ran away and has been gone almost two years. At some point, her mother Leslie may have joined her, because she is now missing too, but that remains unclear. What is clear is that the judge is using the prospect of prison to scare them both into returning and succumbing to the family court agenda to keep the father entitled and in control of his child, and continued control of his ex through his child. This pattern plays out in developed countries around the world, wherever women have gained enough power and independence to leave men without being impoverished. Join The Women’s Coalition where we are fighting for a new system in which judges will not have the power to decide custody. SHAME on Judge Chad Allred for devastating Vail's childhood and Leslie's motherhood. SHAME on King County Sheriffs Office and Q13 Fox News for going along with the discrimination and injustice being inflicted on this wonderful mom and teen. FB page: A Voice for Vail: https://www.facebook.com/pg/aVOICEforVAIL/ Video of Vail refusing to visit father: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1723056401321771&hc_location=ufi BIASED MSM story: Mother charged with Custodial Interference, hiding teen daughter from dad https://q13fox.com/2019/04/26/leslie-mccann-mother-charged-with-custodial-interference-hiding-teen-daughter-from-dad/ You can comment on this Fox News FB post in support of Leslie and Vail: https://bit.ly/2VyJewO SUMMARY [From GoFundMe with video of Vail refusing to get in father’s car: www.gofundme.com/a-voice-for-vail] “On July 28th, 2017, Vail McCann ran away from her father's house in Maple Valley. Earlier that day, a combination of 8 different adults and security forcefully and traumatically removed her from the court house to begin a six week visit that she was blindsided with. Her father requested a six month custody reversal in order to force her to engage in reunification therapy with him to *fix* her refusal to see him. The judge ordered six weeks (3 make-up weeks and 3 regular visitation) with a hearing set to review in five weeks. Here you see phase one of the 4 or so hour long transition. Her mom is instructed not to show emotion or comfort her child. If she does, it's seen as her mother feeding the child's anxiety instead of supporting the visit with the father. This precious girl also has high-functioning autism. The mother was instructed to physically remove the child's arms from her body and use all her strength to remove herself from the situation. Vail has reported to her counselor, her GAL, and five police officers that she is afraid of her father. She's reported that he drags her, has attempted to kick her in the head, and left fingernail marks in her arm. She's reported that he harms her dogs and uses her sacred and special security items as leverage for behavior modification. She reported that after she told police about this, he broke into the bathroom where she was and threatened her. She reported that he told her she better never tell anyone again. The things stated above as well as much more information can be found in King County Superior Court of the State of Washington Case 15-3-06672-6 KNT Vail needs a voice fast. Right now she'll be returned to the same situation that she ran away from when she's found. She deserves to feel safe. In addition to mom and Vail, mom's attorney and dad's sisters are in this video. She is transitioning to her aunts who will take her to her dad.” [Pictured: Leslie and Vail (top and bottom left); Judge Chad Allred (bottom left)]  Dana, a Russian-American citizen, was found guilty for “abduction” and “extortion” last week in a Kansas federal court. In two months she will be sentenced to up to 43 years in prison.
Dana has two months to decide whether to sit in prison for 43 years or agree to her children being given to their violent, abusive father. Dana has already been in prison for nearly two years, ever since she returned from Russia without her children, believing there would be a fair hearing on her case in Family Court, but instead, she was arrested and incarcerated by the feds. Dana was not given a fair criminal trial. The judge did not allow the jury to hear her affirmative defense: the evidence of the father’s violence she left behind. He permitted the belated addition of two bogus extortion charges, increasing the sentencing range from 3 to 43 years. This was obviously done to increase the pressure exponentially on Dana to agree to give custody of her children to their abusive father. And jury selection was rigged, with only 3 women chosen. Normally it is the county D.A. who colludes with family court judges and criminally punishes women for daring to challenge male authority in the family by leaving with children. But this case is in federal court, since it is an international case. The fact that even federal officials collude with family court judges to punish errant women is further proof that the cause of the crisis is entrenched paternal entitlement, which is enforced by all systems relating to custody of children. DANA’S STORY Dana, a Russian-American living in Kansas, had fled to Russia in 2014 with her older son from a previous marriage and her baby daughter. She was also pregnant with her second child by her abusive husband when she ran. Dana immediately filed for divorce in Russia and was granted sole custody of her children, but her ex was also granted sole custody in Kansas. Dana and her children were safe and happy in Russia, but she was tricked into returning to the U.S. in 2017. Dana was told that if she returned, she would be afforded a fair hearing, but instead she was arrested and incarcerated. Dana has reportedly been subjected to torturous treatment in prison including being forcibly medicated with anti-psychotic drugs, which made her very ill. This terrible treatment was apparently done as part of a ploy to get her to break and agree to her children returning from Russia and given to her ex. Dana has not broken yet, but 43 years is a long time to be wrongly imprisoned. The irony is that she is being imprisoned for extortion, when she is the one being extorted for her children.

NOTE: This case has gotten media attention both in Kansas and Russia, but, as usual, they have left out the facts that show why Dana left. So they will not be linked to here.  A Crushing 96% of Moms Say Judge Deliberately Harmed Their Children.
In a Women's Coalition poll, 96% of over 300 mothers say their Family Court judge did not make an honest mistake, but that s/he knew her/his rulings were not good for the children, and in many cases, very harmful, as is evidenced by comments on the post. This result is consistent with the thousands of emails The Women’s Coalition has received detailing how judges have disregarded, and often actively concealed, considerable evidence of abuse or unfitness by the fathers of their children. These poll results are important because they confirm the core cause of the custody crisis is judges DELIBERATELY disregarding children’s safety and well-being in order to grant custody or unsupervised visitation to fathers, many of whom are physically or sexually abusive. That means the solutions being pushed by protective parent and child abuse organizations will not make any significant difference in the crisis. Since judges are DELIBERATELY ignoring evidence and falsely finding mothers to be lying, alienating, abusive and mentally ill, no amount of training, resources or new laws will help. It doesn’t matter how much the court parasites profit off custody cases or how much money fathers or mothers have, the result is the same. And it doesn’t matter what new laws are enacted, because family court judges can violate laws with impunity. Family courts are designed so judges have, in effect, absolute power. "Family Court" is just a modern-day mechanism used to enforce male entitlement, power and control in the family. Patriarchy means literally: “rule of the father”. It is no coincidence Family Court judges have been given nearly absolute power. It's so they can maintain fathers’ control over "their" women and children after divorce. Kate Millet said, “The chief institution of patriarchy is the family.” The only way to end the crisis is to eliminate this root cause. That means a new system must be implemented, in which juries, not judges, have the power to decide custody, which operates in a REAL civil court, not the rigged Family Court system, and which eliminates all the tactics currently used to grant custody and unsupervised visitation to undeserving fathers. Since male power in the family is arguably the most coveted patriarchal perk, and paternal entitlement is systemically entrenched, WOMEN MUST UNITE as a class, as half the population (along with men who truly care about what is best for children) and demand a new system.

Mum and Maddie,
This letter is for you to understand why I’ve had to do what I’ve done. It’s for you to show to the police and the court to explain myself. This is the only thing I could do for Olly to have any semblance of a childhood with his mum. I’m really sorry to leave you all but we have no other choice and I promise we will be ok! I will never let any harm come to Olly. My solicitor has told me repeatedly that because of how Patrick is portraying me in court that the Judge believes we are causing Olly emotional harm. It’s impossible for me to show them and prove to them the extent and amount of emotional abuse I have endured and still am being subjected to. I’ve been told that there is a strong possibility that Olly will be appointed a guardian by the court, something Patrick requested at the last hearing. I have also been told that this outcome goes hand in hand with Olly being placed into Foster Care! I cannot believe any parent who has even an ounce of love for their child would ever consider asking for this! I can’t let his hatred for me and need to control and destroy my life be the reason that my boy ends up in care! I love my son endlessly and will not allow it! He does not love his son or care about his well-being. Since our breakup I was the one who encouraged and suggested in court every weekend contact for Olly with his father. This custody battle is not because he loves his son. Why would he not have been happy to give Olly a steady normal life with this mum and his dad in it! Why does he want to take him from me when I’ve done nothing but adhere to his demands even when I did not feel they were in Olly’s best interests. What have I done, other than leave an abusive relationship and still allow him extensive contact with Olly? My son clings to me sobbing and shouting that he doesn’t want to go to daddie’s. He comes home and clings to my side not allowing me to leave the room without him! Why is my son’s voice not being heard by the court? The court system is so wrapped up and concerned with “Father’s Rights” that they overlook the children’s happiness and well being. There is something wrong with the environment there for Olly not to want to go so badly! I begged Social Services to investigate the situation with this dad when Olly was telling me he was being hit there. This was the one and only time I broke the court order, Olly was distraught and hysterical but the court, police and father didn’t care and demanded my son went back to visits with him, threatening me with prison if I didn’t force him to go! My son deserves happiness and watching him be dragged away from me every week is disgusting and is the only thing on my end that is causing Olly emotional harm! I had to bring my son home 3 days early from a family holiday to Florida at Patrick’s insistence and the courts disgusting decision. It cost my mum hundreds for new flights and missed days, What father that loves his child would want their child to miss family holidays! Leaving him was the hardest thing I have ever done until now. It was terrifying and I only done it because of Olly! I want to protect him from having to recover from his childhood. I used to be intensely scared of going to bed every night, to the point where I would purposely go to bed at 6/7 pm at night in the slight hope that he would feel remotely guilty about forcing me awake for sex! I think I got roughly 2 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night if I was lucky, my body and mind felt constantly exhausted from being in a permanent state of tension. I would clinch and go rigid when I heard him coming up the stairs as I would pretend to be asleep. If I refused or protested too much, the level of hostility the next day would cause me to have extreme anxiety and panic attacks. This sort of behavior intensified and became an every night occurrence around September/October 2015 after I’d had Olly. I was pressured into sex only 3 weeks after Olly was born and he only waited that long because of the bleeding. It was extremely painful due to the birth I had, he didn’t care or react other than forcefully to my obvious pain or objections. I had to go straight to my doctors and ask for the Morning After Pill as he had refused to use any contraception as he didn’t like it. I couldn’t refuse as he liked to point out I was financially controlled by him and he could get me out of the house whenever he wanted to and he “knew people.” I was embarrassed about my situation and scared that if I told the truth about his behavior that they would alert social services as I was a young first time mother...turns out I was right that no one could help me! I told my GP Dr. Murphy at Hassengate doctors that a condom had split!... not long after I went to the doctors and was prescribed 20mg Citalopram for what I described as severe anxiety caused by my relationship. I don’t remember giving too many details as again I didn’t want Social Services alerted. I intentionally hid my prescription from him for months until he searched my bag and goggled the name of them. He began to publically refer to me as a crazy and my 100 mg pills and mock me to my family and friends. He would constantly refer to me as “mental” and “weak.” I was too embarrassed to ask for help and ashamed and worried that because I had tried to leave before and had to come back because of his threats that nobody would believe or even be willing to help me. Everyone seemed to not like him and his behavior but no one seemed to confront him or help me. I don’t resent anyone or want them to feel bad as it was my fault for not asking for help or telling anyone the extent of the problem. I know this and blame only myself. The controlling nature became worse to the point where I wasn’t allowed to move or even choose items of furniture etc...The worst part of the relationship was when I would care for his other children while they were supposed to be in his care, he would intentionally demean me and encourage them to ignore me as any sort of authority and taught them to disrespect me. I loved those children as if they were my own and I stayed in the relationship as long as I did because I loved and cared for them so much. When he spitefully holds me after I’d left, he told them I didn’t want to see them anymore, he broke me more than anything he’d ever done before. It destroyed me! I watched how he treated their mother, even though he wanted her to move on and be decent to him he still refused to be decent to her. He stalked her emails, blanked her messages when he had her children (to the point where I would feel so guilty I would secretly message her via Facebook to let her know they were ok), he refused to allow her to have his contact number, she wasn’t allowed near the house, etc...He thrived on the fact he made her suffer, he audio recorded their court mediation and hearings so he could hear her cry again. He would laugh at these! He allowed her to move on by moving away as he had ended that relationship. He wanted her away so he could move on with myself. I was a naive little girl at 18 and he was 37! I feel awful for how he treated her and leaving her pregnant. Maybe how I’ve been treated is Karma...He allowed her to move on by moving away as he controlled that decision and situation. If the court had listened and realized why I wanted to move away and how I would have still abided by the order I wouldn’t have been forced to protect my son in this way! I am not allowed to be in our son’s life as Patrick did not make the decision to remove me from his life. It’s shocking and my son is now a child of the court thanks to his manipulation. I have endured harassment, stalking, being chased in my car, having my personal emails and social media privacy invaded and have had no help from the police! Patrick is a psychopath and he will not be satisfied or stop until he has completely removed me from Olly’s life, either by manipulation of the court as he has done or I truly believe he is capable of killing me. I love Olly more than anything and will never allow anyone to harm him in any way! I’m sorry for leaving but I am truly so beyond scared for my life and I will not allow him to destroy Olly’s life by taking mine. I love you, Maddie and Billy and really hope one day you’ll be able to be with us again. I truly believe this won’t be able to happen until he is proven to be what he is and the awful court system has been changed to protect my son and people like from him. Please ask the police to make sure you are all safe from him and his family, he has no boundaries and I’m scared he’ll try to hurt you’s. We love you’s and I’ll find a way to let you know that we are safe and happy. Sorry, I love you! Ellie xxxxx Please let Mandy and Ellie at Changing Pathways know I am ok and that I appreciate all the help they gave me. They are the only ones who believed me and will worry about me and Olly. xxx  Yet another UK Family Court judge is using mainstream media to launch a nation-wide manhunt for a protective mother, and to spread lies about her so the public will help him catch her.
As usual, mainstream media is doing Judge David William's bidding and covering only his lies and distortions, while completely omitting Ellie’s side of the story, which is in court documents and in a letter sent to her mother just before she fled into hiding. View Ellie’s heart-wrenching letter here: The Women’s Coalition is launching a counterattack to this public lynching of a wonderful mother, just like in the Samantha Baldwin and Rebecca Minnock cases [see link below]. Both cases engendered much public outrage about judges taking children away from loving mothers and giving them to controlling and abusive fathers. Help make this post go viral too! SHARE, comment on and like this post! COMMENT on media stories in support of Ellie. TELL family, neighbors, friends the truth. URGE the public not to turn Ellie in if they see her. THE TRUTH: Ellie is a great mother who has done everything right. She reported abuse by the father to the court and social services, and she made Olly visit his father as she did not want to be in violation of the custody order, even though he said his father abused him and it caused him great distress. The father, who claimed he “knew people” told Ellie he was going to get Olly placed in foster care to make her “ruin her life”. There was an upcoming hearing where she believed that was going to happen. Not surprisingly, Judge Williams made Olly a ward of the court after she fled. Judge Launches Mother Manhunt: Asks Public’s Help Mainstream Media Spreads Judge’s Lies to Help Catch Mom “I will never let any harm come to Olly.” - Ellie, Olly’s mother JUDICIAL LIES via MSM: 1) Judge Williams said he is “gravely concerned” for the boy’s safety. Truth: Williams knows the child is in no danger with Ellie and that she left to protect him from his father. He is just using that lie to get the public to want to turn her in. 2) Judge Williams says his level of concern for Olly is so high, he is making him a ward of the court, which means foster care. Truth: If the father was safe or wanted him, he would have given the father sole custody. Apparently, the father does not want Olly, just to ruin Ellie’s life, so Judge Williams is simply doing what the father wants. 3) Judge Williams says the mother “vanished” before a “critical” hearing. Truth: Williams gives the impression that Ellie vanished because an upcoming hearing may not go her way. But Williams neglects to mention that he was going to take Olly away from Ellie at that hearing and place him in foster care because that is what the father wants. 4) Judge Williams says Olly will suffer long-term emotional consequences from being “abducted”. Truth: Williams knows that Olly will suffer far greater emotional damage from being taken away from his loving mother and placed with an abusive father or in foster care. He doesn’t care. He is doing what the father wants. 5) The media posts terrible pictures of protective mothers so the public will be less likely to empathize or sympathize with them and more likely to turn them in. This is proof the media is deliberately skewing the story, which is entirely unethical. This case is just one in the epidemic of judges disregarding unfitness and abuse by fathers, while making false, negative findings about mothers who are simply trying to keep or protect their children after divorce or separation. This new mother manhunt is also another example of how the power elite perpetuates patriarchal control in the family through courts, social services, law enforcement and the media. Hopefully it will help raise awareness with women about how they still do not have the power to keep or protect their children after divorce. Women must unite and demand a new system free of discrimination. *The Women’s Coalition and all its 21,000 followers stand with Ellie and hope she and Olly remain safe in hiding for a very long time! NOTE: A High Court Justice, James Holman, is harassing Ellie’s mother and sister. There was a hearing on Wednesday where he berated them, calling them liars and threatening them with jail if they do not say where Ellie is. He lied and said Olly would not be taken away from Ellie if she returns so they would help get her back. TWC will be making another post about that part of this case. Samantha Baldwin’s case: https://www.facebook.com/TheWomensCoalition/photos/a.1464723457135309/1896844423923208/ NOTE: TWC is not linking to any of the mainstream media false accounts but you can google "Ellie Yarrows" to see them. [Pictured: Ellie and Olly; Judge David Williams]  Dear Mr. Zucker, The Women’s Coalition is submitting this complaint regarding a recent episode of “This Is Life” entitled “Divorce and Child Custody: Men Cry Foul”. In this segment, Lisa Ling supports the false assertion that men are being discriminated against in Family Court, not women. She disseminates other fathers’ rights propaganda and promotes their agenda. Ms. Ling justifies her one-sided portrayal by saying in the beginning of the piece that it is about fathers’ problems in Family Court. But it is not just a human interest story; it is a political piece, serving to disseminate fathers’ rights propaganda and promote their agenda of mandatory equal parenting. As such, Ms. Ling was ethically obligated to ensure the public was given information that is accurate, fair and thorough, but she did not. She is supposed to act independently, but instead did fathers’ rights activists’ bidding. She is supposed to seek the truth, but disregarded valid research supporting that it is women who are being discriminated against, not men. She is supposed to minimize harm, but she has done great damage to women and children with her negligent, biased and inaccurate journalism. We are disappointed in CNN for broadcasting this segment and are requesting you compensate for airing this harmful episode by providing The Women’s Coalition with funding for a short film documentary, which will get the truth to the public. With this documentary, you will not only be helping CNN’s reputation for good journalism, you will become a hero to millions of women and children around the world. Thank you, Cindy Dumas, M.A. Executive Director Damon Dumas Communications Director WomensCoalitionInternational.org WomensCoalitionIntl@gmail.com To sign onto this complaint, send your name to: WomensCoalitionIntl@gmail.com.
