Dad kills himself after daughter is taken to live 150 miles away.

Let’s take a closer look at this story, as the headline tells only part of the story.

A father hanged himself after his young daughter was moved 150 miles away and was unable to see her, an inquest heard.

He was found dead in a caravan in the garden of the home he shared with his mother and stepfather.
Mr Brown had been due to face court and was warned he could be jailed after he broke a court order banning him from contacting the child’s mother, who he split up with in 2014.

He claimed he did not have proper visitation. Tried to get a ruling in family court in October 2017.
In February last year he was detained and kept in police cells after BREACHING a protection and harassment order made against his ex-partner following a Face Time call and was ordered to appear in court on June 5.
This sentence doesn’t make any sense:

“He had been told he could be looking at six months custodial but once he had seen his solicitor and found out that she was being called and they had been looking at the evidence on her phone things were looking better for him.”
Mr Brown had made several previous attempts on his life including on one occasion walking into the sea in December the same year.

He had his anti-depressants stopped after an attempted overdose but was referred to a mental health team.
His sister said: “The mental health team said they would ring him, but his phone was on him when he went into the sea it was destroyed.”

Then because of the harassment orders, he was constantly getting his phone taken by the police.’

This doesn’t make sense either.
Assistant Coroner said “ I don’t doubt it was hard for him to run his own business, I know that he was upset that he wasn’t seeing his little girl regularly.
‘It must have been on his mind that he had this pending magistrates’ proceedings, but I accept he wasn’t facing any period in custody and he could have gone through to courts to see his little girl.

‘This young man has been troubled with mental health problems for many years.’

What kind of ecosystem breeds #coercivecontrol?

🧵
First and foremost, a climate where bullies are rewarded.
When they’re not held to account but rewarded with getting their own way because others are too scared to confront them, that is the perfect Petri dish for #coercivecontrol
Different rules for different people.

Making allowances for, or ignoring bullying/inappropriate/abusive behaviours of people we like or admire.
Holding them to a lower standard because they’re family, or a celebrity, or wealthy, or we benefit in some way from looking away.

I detest the term *parental alienation* with a passion and now I won’t use it.

It used to be called ‘Threat Therapy’.

A🧵
I’ve been told, frequently, that not all perpetrators are men, that mums get *alienated* too and that denying the existence of PA means denying that abusers DO and WILL maliciously sever a relationship between parent and child.

And yes, all of the above IS true.
But refusing to use that term is NOT the same as denying that this happens.

So, for avoidance of doubt, here is why I believe the term *parental alienation* should not be used:

Churches stayed mainly silent when Nazis were persecuting Jews.

There were also those who abetted the Nazis to escape and gave them false documents.

A 🧵

Adolf Eichmann was aided by a Franciscan monk who helped him obtain an Argentine visa and who signed an application for a falsified Red Cross passport.

Eichmann masterminded the Nazi network of death camps that resulted in the murder of approximately 6 million Jews.
Josef Mengele fled to Argentina with the help of a Catholic clergy member.

Nicknamed the “Angel of Death” he conducted experiments at Auschwitz particularly on twins, pregnant women and the disabled. Mengele even tortured and killed children with his medical experiments.

WHAT HE SAYS TO YOU

WHAT HE SAYS TO OTHERS

A🧵

#coercivecontrol
To you: You’re too beautiful to do the housework. I don’t want you to cook/clean/tidy.

To others: She thinks she’s too good to do the cleaning. She never does anything around the house.
To you: You are so good to your friends, they don’t deserve you and everything you do for them.

To others: She thinks you’re ungrateful and don’t appreciate everything she does for you.

Let’s talk about the chronic low self-esteem following a campaign of psychological and emotional abuse.

🧵
We live in a world that sees physical violence as harmful and psychological/emotional abuse as minor.

A significant reason is down to the fact that physical violence is easier to evidence and so, therefore easier to *SEE*.
And whilst this is true, it fails to understand and acknowledge the severe harm that is inflicted in the absence of physical abuse.

And it’s deep-rooted longevity.

“On one occasion, she said, male officers taped her phone to the ceiling, telling her: “We’re gonna watch your arse when you climb on the table.””

Ricky Jones, a retired police officer knew where many of Gwent police’s skeletons were buried, but it wasn’t until his death that his own began to emerge.

In 2020, he jumped to his death from a bridge.

He left behind his wife and three daughters.
To the outside world Jones was a respected former copper and family man. But behind closed doors he subjected his family to decades of #domesticabuse.
