CYFS Lose Round 3

Mon 15th May 2006:

It’s official folks. The good judge decided The Rabid Ones had insufficient cause to warrant the exercise of the ex-parte order!!!!! Now they have to do things the legal way, and then have the whole issue heard properly. No doubt there will be some very aggravated CYFSters mumbling about bastard men, tonight. Go The Good […]

Trial Time

Sun 14th May 2006:

This week is ‘the’ week folks. If the CYFSterhood keep pushing for the ex-parte, and get it, then we’ll kick it up to the High Court and get it turned. Same-day service. :–)) Either way, this week if the CYFSterhood want their way heard, then heard it will be. But this time at a full, […]

Alarm bells should be ringing loudly

Where does the Herald stand?????

Weekend HERALD JURY The Charge: Fathers’ rights activists who protest outside judges’ homes are resorting to bullying tactics. The Herald polls seven as giving a verdict of guilty.

Reply To Mooses Comments

You’re absolutely right on the nail, Moose. When my girl asked who would pay for all of the extra-curricular activities my girls does, who would pay for her school, who would take her bush-trekking, rock-climbing, flying, swimming, surfing, her pet dog, her piano, her art, If I wasn’t allowed? What about her own room and […]

These people just get worse. As some readers will remember, the mother in my case has withdrawn her case and attendent protection order.

Why do these men protest??

Wed 10th May 2006:

What’s got into these fathers that makes them lose respect for the courts? Are they of the same ilk as that mad man Jesus who came into the Family Court last year and upon seeing the standard of judgments screamed; “Such stupidity and ignorance! Their eyes are closed, and they cannot see. Their minds are […]

CYF Worker Violence

Some years ago I owned a business which marketed a product direct to householders. My personal TM would set an average of eight appointments a day, so I went into a lot of very varied households. I have to say some were shit-holes beyond human decency, but most were modestly to properly tidy. One day […]

Discontent within mens groups.

In what we believe is a democratic country it is sometimes easier to live in denial than it is to face up to the human rights abuses that exist within the New Zealand Family Court.

Seem All Too Familiar?

…..Cameron Todd Willingham is the first and only man executed in the United States for suspected arson after his three children, all under the age of three, burned to death at their home….

Comments to think about

This is from a few unhappy supporters in the public. “After your demonstration on TV everyone is against you because they feel that the judge and neighbours shouldn’t have to put up with people picketing outside their private homes. When judges etc leave the courts etc, the job ends and their private lives begin. Are […]
