Children, Their Mothers are Killed And They Want Enforcement Orders...

Another writer, once again misses the complete point when writing the same old rhetoric, with the same old spiel about fathers rights.  Just in case you haven't heard it all before in the past few years from the church leaders that became so extreme with, "fatherlessness" bible bashing mothers into submission to the shared parenting scam that brought about 15000 children enduring forced contact with violent fathers: Andrew Dowdell, thought he should remind you that fathers rights are so much more important than our depleting environment, world hunger and of course the growing epidemic of murder suicides that also lost our attention.  Most of the murders were carried out by men. 

Dads in Distress advertises on their site that 5 males commit suicide per day along with statistics on how many children don't live with their natural parents.  More disturbing was that it must have been only six dads that committed suicide because that was all the dads that they honored on the, "In memory of".  The real shocker is that they have lobbied government furiously for suicidal men to have contact as if contact will somehow cure mental illness.  According to a 2007 femicide report,

 

"Research shows that many men who are hospitalized for depression
often have homicidal fantasies directed at family members. Batterers who contemplate or commit suicide often kill their partners and/or children first."

In Australian studies it was found that:

60% males killed in retalitory killings which were more likely to result in multiple homicides where a parent was also murdered mostly by a non-custodial parent. (2)

Most child-killers in NSW were men, with 100 responsible or jointly responsible for 106 deaths, of the 37 infants killed, 21 were killed by men.(1)

Andrew Dowdell referred to the court system as being "barbaric."

Definition of Barbarism

S: (n) brutality, barbarity, barbarism, savagery, a brutal barbarous savage act.

When one considers this word, pictures of violence and murder plagues the mind - but of preventing a father from seeing a child?  There is no comment about the mothers experience and why she has decided to prevent contact.  With many cases involving violence that are not currently being properly investigated, it is no wonder that mothers are breaking orders.  Tony Miller From Dads In Distress states that he wants the courts to be even harsher towards these potential victims of violence and child abuse.

 In his statement to Adelaide Now, he suggests a "three strikes" system in which parents who ignore court custody orders would be penalised by having their child support entitlements suspended or, in extreme cases, having custody orders reversed.
Tony then goes on to say that 35 men kill themselves every week
, omitting the data on fathers and the killings that came with it.

He is right, but not quite for the reasons he claims it to be. The court system is barbaric because it has sent dozens of kids to their deaths. What is barbaric in reality is the hunting down mothers who've fled brutality with their children. What is barbaric is using nonexistent disorders such as Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) to take children away from mothers reporting brutality or child molestation. 
One needs to really question when dealing with a system that does not investigate child abuse:
Isn't it better to err on the side of protecting children than to err on the side of protecting abusers?
