I was trolling men’s sites (as one does when one has some time on their hands) and came across Bernard Chapin on MND. Of course I love the guy because there will never, ever be another human being like him to ever walk this earth. (even though he wears a different football jersey each time […]

Our Own Bomb…

Ok, so here goes. I am laying my balls on the block for the Government Guillotine. First — a couple of presumptions…. 1. The Feminist ‘Movement’ is totally divorced from, and has nothing to do with femininity. 2. The Feminist ‘Movement’ has nothing to do with engendering equality of the genders. 3. Feminism has completely […]

Behind every violence or murder there is a protection order

Sun 24th May 2009:

When the man in the following article murdered his wife, I as a vaccinated Family Court bonded client, thought there must be a protection order behind this case. And here it comes.  A few months later a doctored article in the press vaguely refers to a protection order. Notice how they write ‘ punctuated by […]

Removing Children From Marital Home

Wed 20th May 2009:

Removing Children From Marital Home (Shared Parenting) When you consider this issue, starting from children’s needs, I believe that most married couples who might separate, are in the situation that their mental health and parenting skills aren’t so good that both could make a valid claim for sole custody.

Risk assessment in familycaught!!!!!!!!!!

Risk assessment is challenging, but is fast being put onto a reasonably scientific basis, in the real world, based on learning from past examples. This is NOT rocket science, just common sense!!!!

In The NZ News, Week 19, 2009

Wed 6th May 2009:

Two 15-year-old schoolboys commit suicide within a week of each other, and police are investigating whether text or internet bullying contributed to their deaths.
