Stop Judicial Abuse

The family Court in Australia and many other countries do not investigate child abuse. They investigate whether the parent will encourage contact and if the parent shows any signs of not encouraging contact, the children are sent to the other parent. False allegations of child abuse are as low as 5%, yet every parent is treated as if they were lying. Welfare services seldom assist anyone involved in family court proceedings and some laws bar child protection from investigating. Parental Alienation Syndrome, often referred to as "Parental Alienation" was created by a pro pedophiliac philosophy psychologist named Richard Gardener to silence Children's and mothers voices. Despite PAS not accepted by global psychological associations and is not in the diagnostic and statistical manual, the use in the family courts are very high. Petition: We the undersigned, call to the UN to eliminate court ordered abuse in Australia and globally.

Mothers NOT Abductors

The Hague convention was originally made to stop child abduction in cases where they were perceived as a commodity which led to harm. Most of these cases involved fathers during the family law trends where mothers were acknowledged as primary care givers. Since the backlash towards women and children having more rights, two key movements brought about changes in family law internationally. T hese changes have led to 70% of battered mothers losing custody to their perpetrators and 15000 children ordered unsupervised contact with a violent parent. The last report from the international social services documented this trend with the following observation: Mothers highest reason for being on the run is from violence. It is a well documented fact that Family Courts internationally are negligent towards the rights of victims and the rights of children.

Family Court Australia: Ammendments

The petition calls on Kevin Rudd and Attorney General Robert McClelland to amend FCA laws to better protect children from violent or otherwise abusive parents. Former Chief Justice of the Family Court of Australia said our legal system should consider following New Zealand's lead after one of their own children was brutally murdered by her father. Now, in NZ the onus has been shifted to a violent parent to prove they are safe before custody or access is considered. Nobody would force an adult rape victim to regularly spend time with their rapist, yet we routinely sentence children to regular contact with parents they have seen beating another parent or who have abused them. The Howard Government strengthened the equal access to both parent's notion, without enough regard for the fitness of both parents to care for a child, by recommending shared-care where possible. If you care about keeping children safe after separation or divorce, please find a moment to sign this petition.

Shared Parenting Forgot My Food

The Current shared parenting laws are forced on babies diminishing their right to be breast fed. Some mothers have been told not to breastfeed so that the father can have overnight contact.

According to the breastfeeding association:

* protects your baby from illness and infection

* provides the correct food for your growing baby

* aids the development of your baby's eyesight, speech and intelligence

* promotes a special loving bond between mother and baby

Urge President Obama to Take Action for Children's Rights

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child protects children. Only two nations in the world have yet to join the global community in ratifying this agreement: Somalia and the United States. Urge President Obama and Congress to ratify the convention without delay.

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child protects children by defining their basic human rights. It is the most comprehensive, accepted international agreement on basic protections for children. 193 countries have committed to support it. Only two countries have failed to ratify this UN convention - Somalia and the United States of America. US failure to ratify the convention is an embarrassment.
