What's the truth? Who causes more child deaths?
The truth? I would have to say the government, the legislatures and the
profit minded, sick, evil lawyers who advise (and makeup) the legislative committees. They created the "battle system" in the first place. "The DaveŠ" wrote in message ... Saw this in another group and thought it would be of interest here. I especially like how this group is labeled "controversial". I guess you're controversial when you're telling people things they don't want to hear. I do have a question that maybe someone can answer. 25 out of 40 deaths were caused by the mothers, which sounds bad for mothers. What would that translate into as a percentage of single-mother households vs single-father households. For example, many people like to point out that there are far more whites on welfare than blacks, but it's a deceiving statistic because blacks are a relatively small minority of the overall population and the reality is that a much higher percentage of the black population is on welfare than the percentage of the white population. Either side can point to numbers in an attempt to sway the ignorant, while conveniently leaving out the whole story. I wonder if the same thing is occurring here. Since men get full custody far less often, I have to wonder. ----------------- http://www.couriermail.news.com.au/c...6,7168496%255E 953,00.html Children of break-ups 'safer with their dads' Phil Bartsch 05sep03 A FEDERAL parliamentary inquiry into child custody arrangements was told yesterday that children were safer living with their biological fathers. Co-founder of the controversial Men's Rights Agency, Sue Price, told the inquiry despite the "maternal preference" of the Family Law Court in custody battles, statistics showed children were more likely to be abused, or even killed, when in the custody of their mothers. "The research shows children are safer with their biological fathers," she said. An Australian Institute of Health and Welfare report had found 42 per cent of substantiated abuse - including physical, emotional and sexual abuse - happened in single-female-parent families, she said. The report said only 4 per cent of abuse occurred in single-male-parent families. Mrs Price also said mothers had been identified as the primary suspect/perpetrator in 25 of 40 deaths deemed "family" murders in NSW between 1996 and 1999. The studies exposed the myth that most child abuse was perpetrated "by all these violent men out there". In her submission to the inquiry on the Gold Coast yesterday morning, Mrs Price said men were often the victims of false allegations in the Family Law Court where there was "very little testing of evidence and no penalties of perjury". But she claimed as many women as men supported changes to child custody arrangements in favour of shared parenting. She also called on parental rights to be reinstated into the Family Law Act. "Shared parenting is much better for children," she said. "Where you've got two perfectly decent parents why should a court be saying to either of those parents that they can't see their children or restricting the time they have with them. "We hope that, if they bring this in, families will then make their own arrangements to see their children as much as possible." Mrs Price claimed parental rights had been removed from the Act in the mid-'90s "leaving the Family Court as the sole arbiter of what happens to children". The inquiry was also told of a growing number of children being cared for full-time by grandparents and other relatives. "This new kind of family group is becoming more and more common in our society and therefore needs to be given serious consideration when new laws and policies for families are being drafted," Kincare spokeswoman Maree Lubach said. Ms Lubach said recognition and legal rights for custodial grandparents in the Family Law Court was needed to ensure the welfare of the children. |

Why does it matter WHAT the numbers are? The fact is that the kourts hand the children over to the mother because the father is a danger to them.... period! Do you want to get the system changed, or what? If so, you have a much better chance if the truth is on your side. |
