The new Human Rights Council Report “shows how the standard of the best interest of the child is violated by imposing contact between a child and one or both parents and by prioritizing it, even where there is evidence of domestic violence.”
This report of @UNSRVAW to HRC identifies that “Predominantly as a result of gender bias, the lack of training and of access to legal support, the custody of children may be awarded to perpetrators of violence, despite evidence of a history of domestic and/or sexual abuse.”>
“The risks of such consequences are compounded for women from marginalized groups in society. The report elaborates on systemic issues that lead to additional barriers to justice. “

What type of CA “teacher” is this? My daughters’ stepmom posted pics of them “distance learning” in 9/2020. Zooming in you see the name of the school & teacher’s name. This is NOT Ms. Mullen & why is this “teacher” wearing a robe & taking a picture?

More CONCERNING pictures! Why is the “teacher” in a robe taking a picture? This is SERIOUSLY concerning. This is CREEPY, especially since the internet is FULL of PREDATORS. My children are in this UNLAWFUL custody.

Why would any private (or public) university’s audited financial statements (consolidated or otherwise) and schedules of federal awards, including George Washington University’s, matter? Why even read them?

Well, for one, universities tend to include law schools… Image

#OrangeTheWorld - A thread on reproductive control, coercion and entrapment 🧵

As a #trapped populations scholar, I have lately spent a lot of time thinking about reproductive #coercion, #control and #entrapment. (i)
The #familycourts appear to fail to understand, acknowledge and interrupt these dynamics of #coercivecontrol in their current system. (ii)
Many perpetrators of #coercivecontrol will already begin to put pressure on or introduce the idea of a child during the early love bombing phase. (iii)

A 🧵 on '#ParentalAlienation' in #familycourt.
PA advocates claim there is an abundance of credible research, there is no shortage of research that's true, of highly questionable studies with no control groups, no objective clinical selection criteria and no
systematic consideration of other reasons a child may reject a parent (see Milchman, Mercer and Drew, Barnett, Meier etc). The studies are 'methodologically weak', non random and not generalizable, unlike the ONLY study on FC outcomes by Meier, which found PA is highly gendered,
benefitting only fathers and '(virtually doubling) courts’ rejection of mothers’ abuse claims, and mothers’ losses of custody to the father accused of abuse'. The PA advocates rely on studies that overly use retrospective accounts and use scales that 'lack credible basis', see

What is #parentalalienation ?

According to Dr Joyanna Sillberg:
There is no universal definition. We need to parse the terms into all of its component parts:
- Do parents disparage children?
- What is the effect of parents going through divorce , who disparage children?
- Which children are most affected by that?
- HOW are they affected?
- What are the best treatments for children who are affected?

It is absolutely crucial that we move away from the term #ParentalAlienation whenever there is disrupted child contact. The term is hugely problematic in a number of ways not least of which being the background of the controversial *theory*.

Here is the background to Richard Gardner who originated the term: and
Reasons for WHY the term #ParentalAlienation is so problematic:

1. See thread in tweet above
2. It was a term Gardner came up with in response to what he saw as the ‘brainwashing’ of a child by the mother, to reject the father.

More on a Richard Gardner:

Gardner himself acknowledged that abusive parents claim Parental Alienation Syndrome.

His response?

It’s not my fault.

Gardner’s exact words: Image
“ With increasing recognition of the PAS, a new phenomenon has developed. Specifically, parents who are truly abusive have been claiming that the children’s animosity toward them has nothing to do with their abuse but is the result of PAS programming by the other parent.

It is TIME to DEMAND an INVESTIGATION into every allégation.

These 28 names were people who sat in positions of high levels of influence within Australia, many of whom, still are in their positions.
A former PRIME MINISTER is named on the list !

Family Law Week: Re A (Children) (Parental alienation) [2019] EWFC familylawweek.co.uk/site.aspx?i=ed…
The background to the case is sparse but it is a case where a father has attempted to get contact with his children and it has gone on for 8 years.
In the judge’s words:

“It is a case in which a father leaves the proceedings with no contact with his children despite years of litigation, extensive professional input, the initiation of public law proceedings in a bid to support contact and many court orders.”

The 3rd episode of @realcrimeprofil podcast with @jessradio has made me think about Dylan Farrow and in particular the 1993 ruling concerning her custody which was published by Huffington Post in July 2014 and paints a damning portrayal of WA as a father.

1. “ There is no credible evidence to support Mr. Allen’s contention that Ms. Farrow coached Dylan.”

2. The Child Sexual Abuse Clinic at Yale–New Haven Hospital was asked to evaluate whether Dylan would make a viable witness.
Between September 18 and November 13 they conducted nine separate interviews with Dylan and her mother.

There are, broadly speaking, 4 themes to the approach taken by the court: Image
Judges participating in the judicial roundtable noted the Court of Appeal’s decision in Re L (2000), which directed family courts that they must make every effort to maintain contact between children and both of their parents & a finding of domestic abuse is not a bar to contact. Image

Survivors of domestic abuse and their children will receive greater protections after the government today (25 June 2020) announced an overhaul of how the family courts deal with the horrific crime.

- More victims of domestic abuse given access to separate building entrances and waiting rooms as well as protective screens to shield them from their alleged abuser in court.

- Easier for judges to issue barring orders which prevent abusive ex-partners from repeatedly dragging their victims back to court – which can be used as a form of continuing domestic abuse.

The judgment of Mr Justice Mostyn starts off well....

Some of the background of this extremely long-running case can be found in the judgment of 25 July 2013, in judgments of 15 April 2014, 13 January 2016 , 25 January 2018 and in the judgment of the CoA dated 27 October 2017.
”There is no doubt that the respondent is an exceptionally vexatious litigant. I made the original extended civil restraint order on 15 April 2014. It has been extended by orders made by me and the Court of Appeal and is currently scheduled to expire on 24 January 2020.”

Understanding Coercive Control

Part 25: Parental Alienation

To understand the prevalence of parental alienation, we first need to understand the dynamics of abuse.
THREAD
#coercivecontrol #domesticviolence #domesticabuse #parentalalienation #children #childcontact #familycourt
This isn’t a thread about whether parental alienation is coercive control or not. Alienation happens for reasons OTHER than coercive control (more of this later).
Parental alienation happens.

I personally know more mothers than fathers who have no contact with their children. I’m not saying this is an accurate reflection of society. All I’m saying is that,in my personal experience, I’m aware it happens to mothers more.
