OK, this is probably a rhetorical question and I would imagine that the answer is ‘no they are completely useless’ , but my daughter is at risk and I don’t know where to turn.

For us to make NZ into a better environment, for men, women and children, it is important that people complain vigorously and constructively. I have suggested that NZ has a serious mafia problem, in terms of secret caughts, that pillage families and fail to do what Parliament allocates money to achieve.

Write Your own Submissions on Family Court Proceedings Reform Bill. Submissions close on 13th February 2013

Story time children, time to analyze a few news stories from a men’s movement perspective. Once you start to do this it’s like enlightenment and you find you’re recognizing the broader reality in what you read. The stories covered here simply happen to be from this weekend’s news and there were more even in that […]

Leeanna Marie Hodgetts, 39, seduced, raped and abucted a child. However you will never see the NZ media report it that way. You certainly will never see NZ courts treat it that way. The reason? Leeanna Marie Hodgetts, is a female.

It can be educational, to lift one well known and understood story, change the names to something else (a less well known story) and then see if the newly developed story has any ring of truth in it? This can be an unfair and abusive technique? It can also give some insight into the less […]

With the familycaught$ heading into a period of extreme change, there may be an increase in manipulation and perjury. Entitlement leads to immunity from other people’s rules. This is a dangerous disease, so try to be careful not to catch it yourself. As Machiavelli said, time is the greatest innovator. When the invisible rules of […]

It is scary, how men and women can be warned about some hazard, for example the familycaught$, yet they will sail on into it with a high degree of trust. Sure, the Government advertises the quality and fit-for-purpose of the familycaught$, despite the steady stream of complaints that they receive and ignore about it. This […]

I recommend careful attention to two issues, when helping people dealing with familycaught$ (or CYFs). 1. Mental Health 2. Parenting Skills

Dr. Annette Beautrais has returned to NZ and is now employed at Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, Auckland University, at the Middlemore Hospital Complex.

For example; this man needs YOUR help. Please read the article. Please put as much pressure on child youth and family to ensure this man gets his children this Sunday or at the very minimum, has contact with his children on Sunday. Perhaps, some media interest in NZ would be great although, I’m not confident […]

Conflict of Interest can be a touchy subject, but it is very important that we keep in mind the consequences, or potential consequences. Resignation Announced NICK SMITH: “I have made not one error of judgement but two in dealing with a conflict of interest.” Embattled MP Nick Smith has resigned all of his Cabinet portfolios. […]

Taken from the “Stuff / Dominion Post” web site – 15 March 2012. “Pasted” in full here due to Stuff’s propensity to clean out the annuls of history. Just to maintain a bit of balance; it’s not only dispossessed dads that get upset with the state grannies at cyfs. Seems cyfs can rile up mums […]

Submission regarding Open Marketplace Conversion of familycaught by Murray Bacon This submission will propose an open marketplace, as a higher decision quality, lower cost replacement for familycaught. Incidentally this should also ensure reductions of longer term prison cost and social costs resulting from criminals. By giving the public the basic tools to manage their own […]

A very practical presentation, about how to achieve Debunking in the real world, is available from John Cook and Stephan Lewandowsky. They are very careful to warn about the way the debunking is presented and show how jumping straight into the core misinformation can easily reinforce the very “untruths” that you are seeking to expose! […]

Last year I wrote to the Auditor-General’s Office seeking an independent inquiry into aspects of the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) Sensitive Claims Unit. Their response was that they have “decided that it is not a matter that warrants investigation by this office.” Their suggestion was that my concerns be directed to the Minister. My letter […]

Full story here: NZ Herald: Angry father smashes up CYF office It amazes me we don’t see more incidents like this. Whilst none of us condone violent and intrusive actions such as these; it is not difficult to comprehend the aggravation and despair that drove this man to remonstrate against the high handed, totally non-empathetic […]

This could be deemed not post worthy but anyways…. With the increase of Child Abuse being thrown out to the general public, I find it interesting how professionals can justify not telling the parents if there daughter has had an abortion. I then question if the boy who did it (if known) is also covered […]

Simon Power yesterday announced further financial support for those referred to as “victims” in criminal cases. At first glance all seems warm and fuzzy; for example, few would quibble about additional financial support and trauma counselling for “families of victims of serious crimes leading to death”. But a closer look at Power’s support package raises […]

April 22, 2011, 7:10 am (From the NZPA) – Full article posted here (in case it gets pulled from Yahoo later). “Te Wananga o Aotearoa says a “human error” allowed a woman convicted of cruelty to a child to enrol in a social work degree. Kylie TeKani was taking classes at the Porirua campus towards […]

The news story this week about ACC employee Dr Peter Jansen was fascinating. A disgruntled female ACC claimant (on the basis of alleged sexual abuse) wrote potentially defamatory things about Dr Jansen on a blog. Dr Jansen asked her to remove the comments and, when she refused to do so, commenced a defamation case against […]

ECPAT originally stood for “End Child Prostitution in Asian Tourism” but the organization dropped that slogan and now ECPAT stands for “Preventing the Sexual Exploitation of Children”. It has grown from a New Zealand group to have support in many countries. Most of us would support the aim of protecting children, but the group is […]
