"...an underworld of misogynists, woman-haters whose fury goes well beyond criticism of the family court system, domestic violence laws, and false rape accusations. There are literally hundreds of websites, blogs and forums devoted to attacking virtually all women (or, at least, Westernized ones) -- the so-called "manosphere,"... While some of them voice legitimate and sometimes disturbing complaints about the treatment of men, what is most remarkable is the misogynistic tone that pervades so many. Women are routinely maligned as sluts, gold-diggers, temptresses and worse; overly sympathetic men are dubbed "manginas"; and police and other officials are called their armed enablers...

"But some experts argue that men's rights groups have been remarkably successful... have taken over the way courts deal with custody issues, particularly when there are allegations of abuse, largely by convincing them that there is such a thing as 'Parental Alienation Syndrome' (PAS)... have 'been able to get custody evaluators, mediators, guardians ad litem and child protective service workers to believe that women and children lie about abuse.'... http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2...

"Two young children are still recovering from severe injuries, nearly a week-and-a-half after police say their father barricaded them inside their home and set the home on fire in Northglenn..." With his children inside his car, Bill Johnson rammed the vehicle into his estranged wife's car, parked at her friend's house. "'I can tell you that when our officers contacted the vehicle, all the children inside the car were safe', Northglenn Police Commander Jeremy Sloan said last week in a press conference after the fire..." The police officer let him go. The father drove back to his house with the children, barricaded them inside, and started the fire." http://www.9news.com/news/article/253521/222/Mom-Estranged-husband-tried-to-k...

"A new study of child murders... men and women are equally capable of killing children, but their motives for killing are very different. Men are more likely to kill their children in order to take revenge on ex-partners and to make them suffer... The study, Just Say Goodbye, draws on court documents to analyse cases where children have died at the hands of parents whose relationship has broken down...

"[E]ven more than violence, research shows that a history of obsessive controlling behaviour -- a sense of entitlement -- can be a pointer to a man's inability to accept the separation... vengeful enough to kill their children to punish her for the separation...

A Pierce County Sheriff's deputy and Graham Firefighters work around the smoldering remains of a house near Fredrickson, Wash. on Sunday, where the bodies of Josh Powell and his two sons were found.

Father's rights groups readily blamed the mother and "parental alienation". In 2004, media widely reported the ignorant pollyanna spew from neighbors, co-workers, and casual acquaintances about whataniceguy Lohstroh was. The decision from the Court of Appeals, overturning that conviction, told a very different story. http://www.thelizlibrary.org/therapeutic-jurisprudence/lohstroh.pdf The media, still hyperventilating for the sensational, did not adequately bring out that this boy got and accepted his juvenile parole offer only because he should have been acquitted in the first place on the grounds of self-defense -- and the D.A. knew it. Copping to a plea saved his family the cost and misery of another trial. It's "sad" that he got a gun? What is "sad" is that this child's only choice was between another decade of being abused or ending it. There is no good damn reason that when he said he was scared, when he said he and his brother were being physically and sexually abused, when he said he did not want to go with his joint custody father, that he wasn't believed, and that the judicial and police power of the state would not allow him to have a peaceful childhood, that his fathers' ego wants and demands were considered more credible and more important. For what. They are not. See Myths and Facts about Fatherhood at thelizlibrary.org

To echo Dastardly: "Thank you, Judge Frank D'Addabbo Jr. for being a cool [and unfortunately all too rare] head of reason."

"A Superior Court judge has denied a request by a former state correction officer to regularly visit the daughter he was convicted of plotting to kill.

The article doesn't mention where the child's mother is, or why he and his twin brother were in the care and custody of these monsters, referring to the collusive stepmother as a parent.

"In a letter handed to KCRA3, Mourad Samaan's father outlines a custody dispute between his son and Marcia Fay, the mother of 2-year-old Madeline... 'After the separation while pregnant, You refused to SHARE with the Father to be your pregnancy medical condition,' Samaan wrote in the letter..." http://www.kcra.com/news/28871771/detail.html#ixzz1VFSHEnCR The media stories repeating the psychologist paternal grandfather's and others' excuses for this beastly behavior, effectively and inappropriately endorse them. http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_18692508?nclick_check=1

Note to the media and the family courts: stop the pretense at ignorance. Stop it. Pregnant women don't just up and leave their marriages without a good reason, and in their condition it's rarely that they are having an affair. They leave because he's abusive. He's ALREADY abusive. Their leaving him, and their "refusal to share" isn't the cause. That's mother-blaming. And it's bias.

Here's more crap, with the lawyer brother of the murderer apparently approving of the murder-suicide and blaming it on the mother. (Another beauty raised by this sickwit father psychologist and family court mediator, currently pending psych board investigation on a variety of unrelated charges.) http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/nationworld/ktxl-amber-alert-deaths-deter...

And here's yet more media crap: http://www.sacbee.com/2011/08/17/3842824/bitter-custody-fight-foreshadowed.html (How was this shithead of a "father" at a "disadvantage" in family court when his own father was a family court psych, and his brother was a lawyer?)

Further note: the judge on the case, who gave the dangerous pig unsupervised visitation, Judge James Mize, has politically supported "parental alienation" theory, and was instrumental in the fight against activist groups who tried to get this junk out of the court system.

Why are the children with the murderer's parents? And why, in the first place, did he have custody. http://www.wcti12.com/news/28674027/detail.html A month ago, Hayes aka "Grant
Haze" and his wife had a baby and wanted to move to the Virgin Islands. Gruesome details of the murder at http://m.dailymail.co.uk/mobile/news/article.html?articleID=2018717 Note that Ackerman's children are ages one and three, and that the judge took custody away from her in March 2010, which means that this idiot judge removed an infant and a toddler from their mother, and that this asswipe of a father was busy impregnating his wife while going through custody litigation over his two babies.  The world has gone insane.
