Just now I am again in housing transition (a.k.a. Homeless) as I was in 2018, but at least not in California. #FiduciaryAbuse directly involved which I have to face & handle, while in this condition. Yes, it’s intimidating, as intended to be. It’s a control tactic.

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

(From a separate link, not with the main one): finance.gwu.edu/sites/g/files/…

See its T.O.C.: This lacks an opening MD&A (Managmt Discussion & Analysis) but has Letter of Transmittal, the financial statemts (not that long), and — ALWAYS read, esp “Note 1” (above)— the “Notes.” 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)

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)

“Multiple submissions argued that the increasing use of the term ‘parental alienation’ could silence children.”
- If children have been alienated, then their wishes and feelings are seen as contaminated.

- A parent who is the subject of the allegation will be treated as an ‘alienator’, rather than as a protective parent with well-founded fears around abduction or violence.

“ Barnardos noted that their research had shown that Cafcass recommendations were “often at odds” with advice from Barnardo’s services which had been working directly with victims. “ Image
“ Submissions noted that for very young children, the child’s voice can only be heard via their primary carer, but that parent’s knowledge of the child tends to be disregarded or automatically dismissed as self-serving.”

Assessing Risk of Harm
to Children and Parents in Private Law Children Cases
Final Report

This report is 216 pages long but well worth reading as it encapsulates the experience of so many parents who have been or are going through the #familycourts

“ Practice direction 12J, where implemented, is very effective in protecting children and victims of abuse. However, Nagalro understands that the implementation is hampered by the lack of resources in the courts and lack of legal advice available to the parents.” p86

This report reflects findings from 1,200 responses from individuals/organisations across England/Wales, together with roundtables/ focus groups held with professionals, parents and children with experience of family courts. Most of the evidence received focused on domestic abuse.
It provides an unprecedented of how effectively #familycourts identify and respond to allegations of domestic abuse and other serious offences, in cases involving disputes between parents about the arrangements for their children, known as ‘private law children proceedings’.

For International Women’s Day, I think of the women who were let down.

I think of the women who have been silenced by those who claim to hear but fail to listen.

I think of the women who were told that they would be heard, if they reported their assault.
But weren’t.

I think of the women who were told that #coercivecontrol is a crime, that they should report and their perpetrator would be held accountable.
But were told there was no *evidence*
