'IT'LL COST YA' COURT APPOINTED 'SPARE THE CHILD' EXPERT WILLIAM ZUCKERMAN TOLD ONE CRC DAD WISHING MORE VISITATION /The CV of a bribable man

[Hannah, 2007] BMCC IV TRUTH COMMISSION. Court appointees, state actors and other professionals are frequently biased, particularly gender-biased, misogynistic, incompetent, and inadequately trained in domestic violence and child abuse. Many exhibit a shocking lack of knowledge about incest and child sexual abuse, and how domestic violence affects parenting, and may lie with impunity. They appear to have scant understanding of, or interest in, the negative effects of substance abuse as it pertains to parenting. There is a lack of training and availability of qualified, ethical professionals, particularly attorneys, to represent non-abusive protective parents. This problem is mostly hidden from the general public. (Page 1/14)

[Ducote, 2005] PROTECTIVE PARENT REFORM ACT. Whenever child abuse or domestic violence is an issue in a child custody or visitation case, no mental health professional or child custody evaluator who lacks specialized training and experience in child abuse or domestic violence relevant to the specific allegations shall be appointed by the court to conduct any evaluation in the case. (Paragraph 8/11)

... I recently read your article on Mommy Go Bye-Bye. I happen to be very familiar with Dr. Zuckerman's work … Dr. Zuckerman is not a decent man … -Email message for VW

[SPECIAL NOTE BY VW] I paid the [lunatic] thousands of dollars to listen to him criticize my mothering by testifying, “SHE DOESN’T BLINK! MOST PEOPLE BLINK!” His demeanor made his testimony seem even more absurd because he is severely afflicted with sudden and recurrent motor and vocal tics caused by the neurosis known as Tic Disorder. Dr. Zuckerman’s uncontrollable eye blinking, his nose wrinkling, his neck jerking, his shoulder shrugging, his facial grimacing, and his throat clearing make him an appalling sight on the witness stand. When I confronted Joseph Novello, Ph.D., about his colleague’s unusual countenance he smiled nervously as he looked down at his lap and said, “Well, we don’t want to talk about THAT.” The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders further describes Tic Disorder as a disease common in individuals with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. -Extracted from an August 2003 letter of complaint for the American Psychological Association
