This is excellent. Thank you for writing it! May I read it at a public county commissioner’s meeting where I have spoken on the topic of family court corruption recently? I will, of course, give you proper credit.

In fathers' rights groups there is rhetoric that parental alienation is abuse just like sexual abuse and physical abuse (fathers are responsible for 98% of child sexual abuse) In fathers' rights groups I have seen posts saying that the majority of reports of abuse (both women and children) are false, I have seen misogynistic users, posts by divorced fathers saying that the wife should stay home to take care of the children rather than work, a post about an ad for a swingers' beach, misreported sexual abuse news making the mother the accuser, posts by men posting sexualizing material about their daughter, posts by men with electronic bracelets (because they said they were falsely accused of sexual abuse by their ex) on vacation at the beach, only they can post these things
This is REAL. I and my kids were victims of the legal system in these very ways for about 15 years until my son finally put his own foot down and said "No. I'm not going with him." I have been forced, with the threat of losing all custody, to continue to drop my kids off with abusers. It has been hell. I reported abuse on multiple occasions and we have never been believed or take seriously. The "father's rights" always took #1 priority over anything and everything else. The children aren't even seen as real humans. Just objects to be owned and used as pawns for control. Its disgusting.
Simply brilliant. You hit the nail on the head for so many critical nuances that lazy discussions about this issue always ignore.
Truly very informative for the people who don't understand the crazy we call family court.
Thank you!!

Yes, absolutely! No need to give me credit. If the ideas are helpful please use them.

I'm so sorry you've had to go through this, Amanda. These systems are completely backwards. Betraying the people they are meant to protect.
A million thanks for sharing this vital writing!
