@mega2e I’m a fan of #SheSaid but very disappointed in this piece. #survivors of #domesticabuse #coercivecontrol feared and accurately PREDICTED their #abusers would weaponize the virus as they do any situation or manufacture one, to interfere with the mother-child relationship. /1
@mega2e But your article did nothing 2 differentiate between abusers who are weaponizing the virus against #protectivemothers and parents who are legitimately worried about neglectful parenting & failure to properly social distance. There was no mention of histories of abuse in cases. /2
@mega2e Instead, you couched the issue as gender neutral w/o looking at previous histories of legitimate custodial interference. Like reporting on #rapeculture on campus & giving equal weight to alleged rapists’ & rape victims concerns w/o addressing systemic inequities in treatment. 3/
@mega2e There is a difference between #protectivemothers w/real concerns about father not or purposely not social distancing child 2 create anxiety about neglect & get child sick or expose immunocompromised mother & the mom/dad who is just worried about other parent in healthcare. 4/
@mega2e Please consider doing a deeper dive into this issue as you will see it’s part of the larger pattern of increased domestic violence as the other pandemic. Many protective moms have been sharing their stories & even worse, the impact of bail reform on the lack of accountability. 5/
