SOURCE8 Claimant v. Lisa Ferry Deel, Katherine M. Owens, A.G. Edwards; Chicago Board Options Exchange; #07NM001; 6/27/08; https://www.cboe.org/Legal/arbitAwards.aspx *

SUMMARY8 Stockbroker and Financial Advisor Lisa Ferry Deel of Ashburn and Belmont Country and Golf Club, in Virginia's Loudoun County, is accused of manipulation, obstruction, negligence, willful and repeated breach, and “a failure to execute” in a 2008 case before CBOE, or the Chicago Board Options Exchange. Deel is the same woman who 10 years ago began taking away, with intent to abduct, the daughter of the creator of the Mommy Go Bye Bye blog by force and by use of manipulation, obstruction, negligence, willful and repeated breach, and “a failure to execute.”

SCOOP8 Lisa Ferry Deel had, among other things, closed the Claimant’s account by making unreasonable demands, and threats, which allowed him to recover less than a third only from his total initial investment records show.

Records also show Ms. Ferry Deel, current wife of Troy Deel, has kidnapped my daughter Brigitte by making use of, yes, manipulation, obstruction, negligence, willful and repeated breach, and “a failure to execute,” which is allowing me to recover absolutely nothing from the very exceptional, enviable even, bond of love I once shared with my only child.

While I was building that bond with my newborn, and living with my baby's father, Troy Deel, because I thought it would be nice for Troy to bond with his new daughter too, Miss Lisa Ferry was screwing him.

Speaking of bonds, Mrs. Deel with her husband, who benefits from a top secret government clearance (which didn't stop him from rigging our transcript--the changes to my court record are so glaring that they couldn't have been accidental nor free), blocked Brigitte's uncle, my brother Chris, from recovering his (bail) bond of seven thousand eight hundred sixty two dollars ($7862) then seized, and pocketed, the entire sum for their own personal use only after they watched him invest, and lose, another eight thousand dollars ($8000) in legal proceedings to recover his bond.

Chris Wyvell still waits to see his niece, again, and his bail money.

My brother last saw Brigitte on October 13, 2004. Our father had been cremated that morning. It was Brigitte’s 7th birthday. She was allowed thirty (30) minutes with her uncle because he had agreed to the terms and conditions of the visit demanded and dictated by her stepmother, Lisa Ferry Deel, and her father, Troy Deel: Chris should not speak my name, never mention me, nor refer to me in any way in the presence of Brigitte if he insisted on seeing his niece that day. They met at a McDonald’s in Ashburn. Chris Wyvell kept his promise.

Our father was dying, and the Deels were quietly scheming to take away from us control of the Trust he established for Brigitte. Mr. and Mrs. Deel had intervened to conceal from us the fact that our father was gravely ill and to cut us out of our father’s will. The estate of Donald Wyvell had been valued at seven hundred thousand dollars ($700,000). Chris and I never saw our inheritance money. And the Trust remains in the improper possession of the Deels.

We, my brother and I, still wait to recover the Trust our father had designated for his only grandchild. There was no marriage, and Troy Deel had never adopted Brigitte.

Speaking of adoptions, money-grubbing schemers and children-haters Lisa Ferry and then-boyfriend Troy Deel entered into an agreement with ex-girlfriend Carmen Shimer that terminated his parental rights to the son Deel and Shimer had together. Ferry and Deel had arranged for the adoption of baby Jeffrey by Shimer's new husband as a means of extinguishing child support obligations, financial and emotional.

While Miss Carmen Shimer was pregnant with Troy Deel’s baby, Miss Lisa Ferry was screwing him. Lisa Ferry and Troy Deel first met and began to date just four years after she had secretly given birth to a son in a catholic convent where she hid from her father for the duration of her own pregnancy. She was in her mid-twenties. In the convent, she terminated her parental rights by giving up the newborn for adoption as a means of extinguishing child support obligations, financial and emotional.

Baby-rejecting child-abductors Deel and girlfriend Ferry (ever-present at transfers, in litigation, and for Zuckerman) took me to court to have me incarcerated, to have me supervised, to have my Mother’s Day weekend eliminated, my summer vacations blocked, my visitation terminated (ask them about 9/11) and my brother robbed. Our newly-wedded Deels even took me to court to have my visits with my toddler confined and restricted to Fair Oaks Mall across the street from their marital home. By her fourth birthday, my little girl, the baby Deel urged me to abort, had endured four different dangerous and debilitating visitation schedules in less than three years. Custody changed three times. Con artists Lisa Ferry Deel and husband, in their litigious and paranoidal rampage, finally took Brigitte. I may one day recover my daughter, but I expect never to recover my one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) which were wasted in those courtroom games that were instigated by these two cons, these two thieves.

Home invaders Ferry & Deel had also burglarized my condo and had taken from it the social security card, the birth certificate, and the passport belonging to my fourteen-month-old, a paternity paper signed by her father, and every picture I owned of me pregnant with Brigitte.

Jeffrey was eleven when his mother died prematurely. I often wonder who cared for him after his loss. I know Deel didn’t. I don’t have information on Ferry's son. Worse off? I doubt it. (The death of Jeffrey's mother is based on unconfirmed information.)

In France, we reserve for special people such as Lisa Ferry Deel a very special noun:

“[M]ental illness is always diagnosed on the basis of some sort of social conflict. When people do something that others find objectionable, they can be diagnosed as mentally ill. If the person doing the diagnosing is more powerful than the person diagnosed, then there is trouble. In this sense, the diagnosis of mental illness is always a weapon…a tool people use against one another especially when there is some kind of power conflict present.” -JS

Dr. Jeffrey Schaler’s incisive speech on psychiatry upon accepting the Thomas S. Szasz Award at CCHR International's 37th Anniversary and Human Rights Awards Ceremony.

Jeffrey A. Schaler, Ph.D., is a psychologist and professor in the Department of Justice, Law and Society at American University’s School of Public Affairs in Washington, D.C. An expert in legal, social, clinical and public policy matters concerning psychiatry and psychology, Professor Schaler is also the editor of Current Psychology, a journal for diverse perspectives on diverse psychological issues.

Professor Schaler is a frequent guest on national and international television and radio. He has been a featured guest on shows ranging from Voice of America, ABC News 20/20 with John Stossel, CBS 48 Hours, over fifteen times on the late Warren Steibel’s hugely successful PBS series titled DEBATESDEBATES, and National Public Radio.

My evaluation was conducted by the late Dr. Benjamin Schutz. His estate has not turned over documents despite a court order. I have spoken with Dr. William Zuckerman. He has done follow up on many of Schutz's cases. He wanted $5,000 just to read the file that was never completed.

I spent $17,000 in 10 months of meetings. I was told it would cost another $25,000 to $30,000 to complete testing including $12,000 to take my child to UVA etc.

My ex hid my child from me; lied about jobs, insurance etc.; made false reports to the police about me; slandered me to my family and congregation; and continues to interfere with custody in every way. I needed the materials from the study to defend myself.

I can no longer afford representation. My lawyer wants $10,000 to continue.

This whole process has done nothing for the "welfare of the child."

Every motion, meeting, interview, study, and hearing has been designed to make more money for lawyers and consultants.

I want to do everything I can to help others in this situation.

Hi ... It might help you to meet other former clients of Ben Schutz. I've placed your comment in 'Not to Mothers Like Us' where it will be seen by a representative of the Supreme Court of Virginia. They monitor my blog closely and check that particular post regularly.

You need to be in Richmond this fall for Judicial Interviews. All mothers with cases that have stalled, spiraled out of control, and bumped up against the built-in corruption of our family justice system need to be in Richmond for 'Confront Your Judge'--even if the judges who are hurting them are not up for reappointment.

That's irrelevant.

We need for the OAG to intervene. The GA is our access to the OAG. But the legislature will not take us seriously until they see a large group of aggrieved mothers in House Room C.

They know there's a problem. And they know what the problem is. We won't really need to say much--except maybe 'cut the crap.'

Much power in numbers.

Thanks for writing (glad you kept away from Zuckerman).

MAULED MOTHERS! Mark your calendars for JII 2009! Whether your offending judge is up for interview this fall or not, be in House Room C on December 17

AUWCL Paper Warns About Unregulated Authority/‘ABUSE AND DISCRETION: EVALUATING JUDICIAL DISCRETION IN CUSTODY CASES INVOLVING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN’

_______
“This Article [by Dana Harrington Conner*] is an exploration of the history and creation of the broad power of the custody trial judge, the unsatisfactory standards applied in custody cases involving violence against women, and our system’s inability to adequately review flawed decisions at the appellate level.” (P164)

“Unregulated authority”

EXTRACT: Due to the great deference afforded to the custody trial judge, these particular judges enjoy a position of authority over decision-making unseen in other types of cases. As a result, family law cases are infrequently appealed and have an extremely low reversal rate at the appellate court level. Legal scholars Sylvia A. Law and Patricia Hennessey maintain that, by its very nature, the best interest standard vests a high degree of discretion in trial judges, who are “effectively unreviewable on appeal.” The best interest factors are open to interpretation and allow the trial judge the ability to weigh each factor in accordance with his or her own personal conscience. What one judge believes to be right or wrong under the circumstances is likely to be very different from what another judge or lawyer will find appropriate. Law and Hennessey suggest that this “unfettered discretion permits judges (usually older, white males) to incorporate their own personal history, experience and bias in adding content to the ‘best interest’ principles,” and, because the factors involve the subjective observations of the trial court judge, the reviewing court has no objective way to find error, absent flagrant abuse.

HOW I BECAME AN OPPORTUNITY (new post) AND WHY YOU CAN TOO, THAT IS, IF DIVORCE LAWYER & GOP SEN. KEN CUCCINELLI BECOMES AN ATTY. GENERAL OF VA. IN 09

__________
"New post" found here, but you may first want to read the following:

Mr. Cuccinelli, the divorce lawyer, is pro-Zuckerman.

Mr. Cuccinelli, the state senator, is running for attorney general in 2009.

Your vote for Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II (R) this November is a vote in favor of perpetuating bedlam in family courtrooms all over our beautiful state.

So please, if you care about kids, choose with care in November because your support and election of divorce lawyer and republican senator Ken Cuccinelli for the job of Attorney General of Virginia will increase consumer exposure to public corruption,

not decrease it.*

*Did you know that Senator Cuccinelli
has even pushed for a return to ‘fault’ divorce in Virginia
when the research shows that, after states adopt ‘no-fault’ divorce,

fewer women commit suicide
and
domestic violence drops sharply?

He has also sponsored a law designed
to encourage contact between a perpetrator of family abuse,
when the perpetrator is restrained by a protective order,
and the child, or the children, of the perpetrator;

did you know that?

Hi Jenny ... This is Veronique, Xxxxx's girlfriend. You spoke with Xxxxx recently.

I just want to add that not only did we receive "Making a Killing," yesterday "Psychiatry: Industry of Death" arrived in the mail. I had just put down your excellent Documentary Supplement when a friend dropped in. I sent her home with my copy of the Making a Killing dvd and promised her the Industry of Death dvd the next time she comes by. You are doing such good work on this issue. We are grateful. And you can count on me to spread the word.

By "we" I mean the many fit, loving, non-offending mothers who are the victims of litigation abuse, and foul play, after leaving violent and controlling men. The abusive fathers of our children are gaining custody of them at an alarming rate in America today, WHEN CASES GO TO COURT. Too often court-connected, or court-appointed, psychologists can be blamed for this. They lie. They cheat. They are without conscience and offer themselves -- their testimony -- to the highest bidder. These are "You Pay I Say" specialists who could care less about how many lives they damage and destroy by exploiting parents in post-separation, child custody disputes that go to court.

In 2001, a judge told me that unless I could present the court with a "Treatment Plan," I could not exercise my 2 weeks of summer vacation visitation with my 5-year-old. I had been misdiagnosed by child custody evaluator William B. Zuckerman PhD, of Burke, Virginia, who successfully (and deceitfully) persuaded the court I was unstable, that a "Treatment Plan" was required. Long story short, I have not seen my daughter (who was given to her abusive father) in many years because of this impostor Zuckerman. Zuckerman collected more than $16,000.00 for contributing nothing more than a bunch of "junk science" to our legal case.

The friend who left my home yesterday is also a victim of Dr. Zuckerman. Her visits with her young daughter have been "supervised" for the last several years because Zuckerman had also maliciously labeled her with mental problems.

I know of a dozen mothers wrongfully "diagnosed" by this worthless defrauder, and swindler.

Psychologists and psychiatrists need to be removed from family courtrooms immediately; they cause more problems than they solve.

In one of your many videos (I'm still working on seeing each and every one of them), I heard how psychiatry has invaded, or is invading, every facet of our life. I know from personal experience that the field has created a very comfortable niche for itself in the family courtrooms of the Commonwealth of Virginia. I do what I can to expose this truth with a blog I call "Mommy Go Bye Bye," found at http://mommygobyebye-virginia.blogspot.com/. There you can even find the video of Dr. Jeffrey Schaler's acceptance speech that discusses the use of mental health diagnoses as "weapons," and "tools" for control.

This is ever so true in child custody litigation when family abuse is a factor.

WILLIAM ZUCKERMAN PHD, FRAUDSTER: A case for the OAG and a case study in harassment, unnecessary delay and needless increase in the cost of litigation

Attorney General of Virginia

Richmond, Virginia 23219

____________
Dear Mr. Clementson ... With all due respect, when will some consideration be given to the number of "loved ones lost and lives shattered" by William B. Zuckerman, Ph.D. in Burke, Virginia?

After I received two more back-to-back calls recently from individuals he victimized, I contacted a local attorney to inquire about class action against him. Years ago, in 2002, I wrote the Office of the Attorney General of Virginia to say that Dr. Zuckerman was defective and dangerous and should not be consulted by judges and lawyers during child custody litigation. Mr. Howard Casway answered my letter. He directed me to the Virginia psychology board. I have filed complaint forms with the Virginia Board of Psychology, the American Psychological Association and even the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights. I have tried a Warrant in Detinue in Fairfax County General District Court, a Tort claim in Fairfax County Circuit Court and even an appeal in the Supreme Court of Virginia. And do you know that all I am asking for is to see and copy my complete mental health file? Dr. Zuckerman has withheld those records from me since December of 2000 when I first began to request them, in writing always.

[ Specifically, Dr. Zuckerman is withholding the automated Caldwell “Interpretive Report” for the MCMI-3 and the automated Caldwell “Narrative Report” for the MMPI-2. ]

I owe him no money. So what exactly is the problem with this man?

Dr. Zuckerman's detention of my mental/medical health information has cost me eight (8) summer vacation visitations with my daughter. She was three-years-old (3) when we last vacationed together. She is now twelve (12).

Our court order wants Brigitte Veronique Deel to spend fourteen (14) consecutive days with her mother, each summer. But nobody with the power to help her do just that wants her to.

One therapist, a Dr. Stanton Samenow, refused to help me collect my records from Dr. Zuckerman; he was not interested in them, he said. Another therapist, a Dr. Joseph Novello, never replied to my letter which asked for his help in collecting my records from Dr. Zuckerman.

Doctors Samenow and Novello, like Dr. Zuckerman, are very well-known in the courts of Northern Virginia. How do they dare to treat citizens in this way.

Can you begin to imagine just how much money my family members and I have lost to their shenanigans, their charlatanry? Let me help you: approximately $80,000.00.

My lawyer even refused to file a motion to help me recover my records.

So, Mr. Clementson, what does our Commonwealth of Virginia gain, exactly, from putting fit, loving, non-offending parents like me through such an ordeal?

I was teaching pre-school (see photo attached -- a boy sits on my lap), a class of three-year-olds (3), when Muhammad and Malvo began their shooting spree. At the time, I was also in the midst of the difficulties I describe above. I was feeling doubly terrorized in 2002. Muhammad and Malvo were on the loose -- our students were even kept inside for recess to keep them safe from bullets -- and I had shared three (3) forty-eight-hour (48) weekends only with my four-year-old (4) in the entire summer of 2002, which had just ended when their shooting spree started. My daughter Brigitte and I were together for a total of six (6) days out of the entire summer of 2002.

I saw her in July of 2004 and not again since.

Dr. Zuckerman is wholly to blame for this current state of extreme maternal deprivation of five plus (5+) years’ duration for one Brigitte Veronique Deel.

Your Dr. Zuckerman is my own personal terrorist.

Because my personal terrorist is still on the loose, my life of terror did not end with the execution of John Allen Muhammad last Tuesday night.

Because not one soul, not even an OAG rep, with the power to properly deal with William B. Zuckerman cares to do so, the burden becomes mine to organize and initiate a proper class action lawsuit against this fraudster. I am, quite frankly, not feeling too terribly enthusiastic about it -- this is not because I believe such a suit is un-winnable, this is because that burden should be yours, not mine.

The OAG would not be wasting its time.

I can assure you that the number of Virginia citizens hurt by Zuckerman is near-equal to the number of Virginia citizens hurt by Muhammad. I read below of his sixteen (16) victims.

Here is my list so far of Zuckerman's fourteen (14):

1 ~ [S.B.]
2 ~ [C.B.]
3 ~ [P.D.]
4 ~ [V.D.]
5 ~ [E.G.]
6 ~ [E.H.]
7 ~ [J.H.]
8 ~ [R.K.]
9 ~ [A.D.]
10 ~ [S.P.]
11 ~ [W.W.]
12 ~ [V.W.]
13 ~ [T.Y.]
14 ~ [J.D.]

[ Names are abbreviated for privacy. ]

I caught up with our newly elected governor, Bob McDonnell (see photo attached -- the ponytail belongs to me), one summer at the Alexandria home of Chris Braunlich who was running for School Board At-Large at the time. The Braunlichs were hosting an Open House in their backyard. Mr. McDonnell was still our attorney general then. We discussed Dr. William B. Zuckerman. I handed Attorney General Robert McDonnell a copy of an excellent paper authored by UVA's Robert Emery (see photo attached -- look for the little girl with the sad face) about people like Zuckerman. A friend and fellow victim, Wei Wilson, was at my side. Mr. McDonnell's community outreach coordinator, Juanita Balenger, was at his side. Ms. Balenger took the Emery paper from Mr. McDonnell, and they both promised us a follow-up call. The month was August, the year 2007. Ms. Wilson and I were never contacted, by phone or otherwise.

You see, Mr. McDonnell, as delegate, had recently, and successfully, sponsored legislation that broadened the use of child custody evaluations/evaluators in disputed cases.

I have an extra copy of the Emery document, if you would like it. Or you can find the entire publication online.

Not only is it time for child custody evaluator Dr. Zuckerman "to go," very serious consideration should be given, immediately, to an outright moratorium on child custody evaluations in Virginia.

Respectfully yours,

Statement of Attorney General on Muhammad Execution

RICHMOND – Virginia Attorney General Bill Mims tonight released the following statement on the execution of John Allen Muhammad:

“Tonight, John Allen Muhammad was executed by the Commonwealth of Virginia for his role in a killing spree that shocked our nation. Families of Virginia were held hostage in their homes, fearing they would be the next victim of a sniper’s bullet. Muhammad was executed for the murder of Dean Meyers, who was shot and killed while fueling his car at a gas station in Manassas. Meyers was one of 10 people murdered, with six additional victims shot, across four states and Washington, D.C., during 47 days of terror by Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo. The murder of Meyers was the 12th in the string of 16 shootings. A jury convicted Muhammad of the premeditated capital murder of Meyers in the commission of an act of terrorism, and the premeditated capital murder of Meyers within three years of the premeditated murders of other persons. The jury sentenced him to death for those crimes.

“While nothing can bring back the loved ones lost and lives shattered, tonight justice was served to the fullest extent of the law. Muhammad’s acts seven years ago remain particularly vivid in our minds today.

“Muhammad’s death penalty was exhaustively reviewed and affirmed by the trial court, Virginia Supreme Court, U.S. District Court, U.S. Court of Appeals and U.S. Supreme Court, and the Governor has declined to intervene. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the surviving victims and their families and friends, and with the families and friends of the 10 innocent victims slain by Muhammad during the unprecedented time of terror in the fall of 2002.”

*Any fit, loving, non-offending mother opposite an abuser in Virginia is a potential victim of fraudster William Zuckerman, Ph.D., so, dear mothers, protect yourselves by becoming informed -- by becoming court/street smart -- because Zuckerman will teach you nothing and exploit your naïveté, betray your trust, even ridicule you (for example, Zuckerman might report that you "bark" at the father, or Zuckerman might, in his report, describe the one food item your pregnant body did not reject by vomiting as "a fetish"), and the courts worship Zuckerman (for example, the Virginia Supreme Court gave Zuckerman a lead role in its film "Spare the Child" \ WATCH VIDEO CLIP), which means that Zuckerman, like your abusive ex, will “get away with everything” as you find yourselves losing everything, especially your children.

SKIMPING ON SCIENCE |Read before you embark on that custody evaluation: Psychologists say clinical techniques largely reflect own insights, experience

_______
Many psychotherapists openly state that scientific research is largely irrelevant to their practice. Most say that their clinical techniques largely reflect their own insights and experience; they tend not to use the most effective types of treatments available; and they admit to little in the way of scientific training. -The Post on Sunday, November 15, 2009*

“Clinical psychologists’ failure to achieve a more significant impact on clinical and public health may be traced to their deep ambivalence about the role of science and their lack of adequate science training, which leads them to value personal clinical experience over research evidence, use assessment practices that have dubious psychometric support, and not use the interventions for which there is the strongest evidence of efficacy.”

U.S. SUPREME COURT TO DECIDE FATE OF CHILD MANHANDLED IN CUSTODY CASE RIFE WITH JUDICIAL MISMANAGEMENT AND MISCONDUCT IGNORED BY VIRGINIA'S 7 JUSTICES

_____________________
P R E A M B L E } “The conference identified mental health professionals, lawyers and judges as those having the greatest power to influence the conduct of high-conflict custody cases and concluded that they should bear the primary responsibility for preventing or reducing conflict in high-conflict cases. High-conflict custody cases need a specialized approach. Judges, lawyers and mental health professionals should have special training in handling high-conflict cases. They must develop ways to work together under new collaborative models to more effectively identify and resolve high-conflict custody cases … These new models should hold all the participants in custody cases accountable for their contribution to increasing or decreasing levels of conflict, be sensitive to the rights and privacy of individuals and be prepared to intervene to the extent necessary to protect children.”
[ SOURCE: ‘High-Conflict Custody Cases: Reforming the System for Children,’ a report of the American Bar Association 2000 Wingspread Conference on Child Custody Proceedings Reform, http://www.abanet.org/child/custody-proceeding-reform.pdf ]

The United States Supreme Court last month was requested to intervene by a Petition for Writ of Certiorari in the matter of Ariana-Leilani, a little girl separated from a protective parent and forced to live with an abusive one, in an appeal from the Supreme Court of Virginia.*

Since June 2008, pro-se litigant Dr. Ariel King’s parental rights, including her right of contact with her now six-year-old daughter, were effectively terminated by a “final” “custody order” by the Juvenile and Domestic Relations (JDR) Court in Arlington, Virginia -- a court “not of record.” The JDR Court entered a series of orders making an appellate review, including a statutorily provided de novo review by the Circuit Court, inaccessible.**
[ SOURCE: ‘Writ of Certiorari,’ a petition in the United States Supreme Court in the case of Ariel King v. Michael Pfeiffer, http://www.box.net/shared/d0oxfvlk6v ]

Questions presented to the U.S. Supreme Court justices are these:

1) Is it a denial of pro-se litigant parent’s due process and equal protection rights to be denied substantive review, including her challenge to the state’s subject matter jurisdiction, where that state’s not of record court effectively terminated that parent’s parental rights and made de novo appeal of right effectively unavailable to her?

2) Is it a denial of a six-year-old German-American child’s rights, including the right to due process, equal protection and free speech, for a state to terminate all contact with her mother, without any evidentiary record or substantive de novo appellate review of right?

3) Is it a denial of the child’s basic human rights, as set forth under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, where the child is a German citizen, and the child is barred from any contact with her mother, without record or substantive de novo appellate review of right?

*From Mr. Lundy Bancroft, in a Special Message for Protective Mothers:

There is no love deeper, more complete, and more vulnerable than the love that caring parents feel for their children. There is a bond so strong that it can be hard to tell exactly where the parent ends and the child begins, and the line is even harder to draw when our children are very young. Mothers have an additional bond from having carried their children inside of their bodies and having given birth to them, and more than half of mothers have experienced a deepened attachment through breast-feeding their babies. And mothers are, in the great majority of cases, their children’s primary caretakers, especially during their early years. All connections between caring, non-abusive parents and their children are so important as to be almost sacred, but there is usually a particular quality to the mother-child bond. That life-giving and sustaining connection deserves the full support and admiration of communities and nations.

And just as there is a special beauty and importance to relationships between mothers and their children, there is a special and extraordinary cruelty in the abusive man who attempts to break or weaken the mother-child bond, whether by turning children against their mother, by harming the children physically, sexually or psychologically, or by attempting to take custody of the children away from her.

Children need protection from their abusive parents. In the realm of custody litigation which involves abuse, the abusive parent tends to be the father while the protective parent is usually the mother, because most perpetrators of domestic violence and of child sexual abuse are male. We don’t know that much about what happens to protective fathers, since their cases are much less common, but we know that protective mothers frequently encounter a system that is insensitive, ignorant about the dynamics of abuse, and biased against women. In this context, mothers sometimes find themselves being forbidden by the court from protecting their children from a violent, cruel, or sexually abusive father. And this outcome is a tragic one, for children and for their mothers.

On behalf of the hundreds of people across the continent who are currently working for family court justice, I want to communicate to you our caring and solidarity with the challenging road you have ahead of you, as you fight to keep your children safe in body and soul. I want to let you know how critically important we believe that project to be, and how much your children need you to stand up for their rights and their well-being. You deserve admiration, not criticism, for the courageous risks you are taking on their behalf, and for your determination that all of you should have the opportunity to live in freedom and kindness…
