Now she uses him as a major weapon pulling all the stunts she can and even texting me and saying i have no rights and her new partner has every right over my son ( and he had the audacity to stand there with a smirk on his face) and her giving it large, anyone who knows me and has seen me with my son says i am an excellent dad, but to that i say Michael is priority over everything and i want him happy and do what i can, also it is obvious that my son and i have a strong bond at the moment, although shes trying to ruin this, and trying to use my disability against me also so as far as the judges comments are about 3 strikes and your out well to me and some other good fathers i know 3 is to many, and the laws in this country are a joke were us fathers are concerned they need changing now not when they decide they want to debate it or pass it through the commons do it now and give us what we deserve and stop punishing our children and for those fathers out there who don’t care for there children in any way, they need a better punishment for there wrongs to there children

UK TAX PAYERS CREATE ABSENTED FATHERS

I have recently heard you repeatedly attributing many of Broken Britain’s problems to absent fathers.

When an intelligent person reads what is written below they will easily be able to see there are some very serious, entrenched problems in the UK family law system and peripheral organisations which are directly responsible for creating so many absent fathers. Being a responsible politician you need to ensure these problems are addressed and in that respect, for you to verbally lash out and sound bite blame fathers who have little or no contact with their children is simply a diversion which is not addressing anything.

You must first differentiate between absent fathers and absented fathers. I am, like many other men, not an absent father but am an ABSENTED father; and it is an incontrovertibly fact that it is the UK family law ‘system’ and peripheral organisations such as schools and charities that have been directly responsible for ensuring I am absented against my will.

Continued over/………

Having experienced both the French and UK ‘systems’ I can easily see that in the UK there is an insidious and omnipresent gender bias which results in the assumption that malicious, alienating mothers are victims and non-resident fathers are at fault.

Social workers, school and charity etc staff usually accept a woman’s words and unsubstantiated allegations without question particularly when ‘supported’ by the testimony of emotionally abused and brainwashed children of the age of twelve or more.

The pre-eminent overriding importance given by the likes of CAFCASS, social workers, schools etc to what a child of twelve or more years says is a perverse interpretation of Gillick competence and is a gross manipulation of the Fraser Guidelines.

Anyone knows that a child who is being coached and manipulated by a malicious and alienating mother to reject the father is being emotionally abused. This means the child is not able to assess and understand what is ‘in their best interests’; which means that what the child says is most likely not what is in their best interests; which also means it should not be considered of overriding importance; yet the likes of CAFCASS, social workers, schools etc refuse to recognise this crucial fact (and when asked to justify such absurd stances, they are unable to produce any credible explanations).

This results in the likes of CAFCASS and social workers deliberately and erroneously advising the Courts that what is in the best interests of the child is actually what an emotionally abused child has said they want and anyone knows this is utterly ludicrous.

The UK Courts allow perjury and persistent contempt of court by malicious and alienating mothers (with whom the children are usually resident) to go completely unchecked. This blatant abrogation of responsibility exacerbates conflict, greatly encourages further disregard for the law, propagates more malicious, alienating parenting and; it perpetuates the emotional abuse of children, something which UK social services etc vehemently refuse to recognise or negligently choose to ignore.

The argument that the Courts can not jail or fine such malicious parents is a nonsensical cop-out. I know from first hand experience of living in France that fining or jailing such insidious parents significantly mitigates their alienating behaviour and reduces the incidence of absented fathers.

This all pervading institutionalised bias in the UK habitually and grotesquely manifests in the form of UK charities, schools, local authorities, the Court system and unethical lawyers deliberately encouraging and assisting malicious alienating parents to act with a complete disregard for not only UK law but also the numerous international conventions of which Britain is a signatory.

When these UK organisations and so called professionals are proven to have behaved in such a deplorable manner, all that follows is an emphatic denial that malicious alienation exists and corrupt cover-ups (at all levels; from local school governors up to Justice Ministers). This leaves the field wide open for the malicious mothers to continue their obscene manipulation of the pathetically inadequate UK family law system. Any intelligent person can easily see that this creates many absented fathers.

The UK Press are just too scared to publish any details because of the power of the UK Family Courts to gag (in the so called best interests of the children). Pretty much all this gagging does is play further into the hands of the malicious alienating parents (usually the mother with whom the children are resident) because it conceals the gender bias and incompetence of the likes of CAFCASS, social workers, schools, charities etc. and; it allows the corrupt cover-ups to go unchallenged which means parental contact with the non-resident parent (usually the father) ceases.

Whilst in France my experience of the Judges, Gendarmerie and other organisations (such as schools) was that they all took a balanced and impartial view and made decisions based on evidence and the advice of appropriately qualified, competent expert witnesses such as clinical psychologists; I know, from my own experience, this just does not happen in the UK.

So Prime Minister, my children, courtesy of your corrupt, gender biased UK system, their school, and the likes of people such as unethical lawyers, are growing up with their mother thinking that theft, obtaining public money (Legal Aid) under false pretences, perjury, defying the authority of the Courts, abusing the legal process and lying to Officers of the Law is perfectly acceptable behaviour.

Do you seriously think children who spend their most formative years with malicious alienating parents will not grow up with similar ‘values’ as the alienating parent and without other social and mental health problems?

It is not credible for you to dismiss what I say as being the rant of a disgruntled father because I am able to furnish you with hundreds of pages of documentary evidence to substantiate what I say.
Probably the most interesting (for you) of these documents of evidence are the ones which reveal the Legal Services Commission issuing a Legal Aid Certificate following a fraudulent application based on deception which in turn funded an English lawyer (Nigel GODSIFFE of the firm Sylvester Mackett in Trowbridge, Wiltshire) engaging in futile litigation in an English court which he knew right from the very outset (when the application for Legal Aid was made) that the English Court simply did not have jurisdiction to hear the matter. This is something which the SRA, LSC and your Government Minster Jonathan Djanogly have all swept under the carpet.

Other documents reveal the Kingdown School (Warminster) breaching the Data Protection Act, failing to remain impartial in respect of parents matrimonial disputes by; faxing pages of defamatory statements to business in the vicinity of my business (staff member Teresa BARSBY); disclosing to my former wife information written by me to the school; another staff member (Wendy WAKEFIELD) attempting to conceal details of school absences (knowing it was required for the French Public Prosecutor) which proved a member of school staff (Teresa BARSBY) had assisted a parent to act in contempt of a Court Order; the assistant Head Steve DUDLEY and Head Sara EDWARDS acting in defiance of a court order by refusing to give me (a parent with joint parental responsibility) details of my child’s examinations, refusing to put in place a mechanism to advise me of future absence from school and a failure to provide me with school reports.

Corrupt Kingdown School governors (Jack MAY and Peter BIGGS) have both abused their powers and covered up all of the above by conducting a sham in house investigation.

If you have understood what I have written it must mean you will now see that part of mending broken Britain must involve overhauling your family law system and the peripheral organisations such as CAFCASS, schools etc over which you preside and in that respect, sorting out the insidious gender bias and omnipresent corruption and educating all concerned about malicious alienating parents should be a major priority.

I look forward to you informing me of how you will be doing this.

Yours sincerely

Martin S Rushton

I know this as my son lives with me and the child came to my home..this is so unfair i feel the child is being pushed and pulled by his mother and used like something to bater with….their is alot more to the said situation…the other mother changes the goal posts continually she wants the father to have access every weekend this is not possible as the father works every other weekend, he has offered to pick the baby up every other weekend and keep him over night but this is not good enough for her so she does not give him any access….what does he and other fathers have to do to have regular contact with their children.
I am a woman myself and never would i not allow my childrens father to see his children.. On both sides their are caring parents and uncaring so why punish one over the other.
A few weeks ago their were riots and many young people were involved should we not take a good look at society and make sure the next generation of young ones are not in the same boat as this one..as a grandmother i am so distressed i have two grandchildren i am unable to see because their mothers play games with these childrens lives.With regards to Kerry comments on her situation perhaps you have to look your situation and yes he might not be what you want for your child.. But it is her father and her right is to make up her mind when she is older in the mean time she needs the opportunity to do this. if you stop her she might turn against you and blame you for her none relationship with her father..however bad or good a parent is the child has the right to know both,as long as the child is not in any danger.

I have been going through a court-case with my daughters father for nearly 4years now! which is ridiculous I know. My daughter is 6 year old and never met her father, apart from when she was 1years old and he tried to abduct her by pulling her out of my arms by her head. In the nearly 4 years we have been at court my ex partner has been offered contact at a centre 3times and each time he has failed to make the arrangements. So I then offered indirect contact which would progress into contact if he was consistent and showed commitment but he failed to do this then 8months later we go back to court and he asks for contact I disagree to direct and offer indirect once again, He is ordered to send indirect contact every 10days in 5months i receive 4 cards This is not a committed father. Bear in mind each time I agreed to direct contact I prepared my daughter to meet her father and each time she was let down, and now at a hearing today he asked for direct contact to take place this saturday and he a requested every saturday for 2hours then he wants her every weekend. (we ive 230 miles away) My daughter was asked by a cafcass officer how she feels about seeing her dad and she told her she didnt want to see him. So basically the judge today gave me a month to MAKE my daughter see her father. Is this right???????? not all mothers are spitefull and use their children as a weapon. I suffered domestic violence whilst pregnant and still I have never refused contact, even before the courtcase I never refused contact, in fact the opposite I offered it every Saturday but it was never taken up. I have tried to get him involved in my daughters life whilst she was young as obviously younger children adapt easier, but her father failed to comply. Now I am being told that I should put all this in the past, and put aside what my daughter has said and force her to supervised visits. How is it that fathers can get away with showing the one ounce of commitment and get away with it. Not 1 birthday card in 6years not 1 Christmas present, nothing. Never paid maintenance and refuses to, I just find it unreal that these judges say they are putting the children first yet they let fathers let them walk in and out of a child’s life, turn up to court when they can be bothered yet they still get contact rights. It seems to me the children are not considered at all, but fathers are put first because they think all mothers are the same and are just out to spite the fathers when in some cases not all but some this is not the case and the fathers are simply out for revenge and don’t care about the children. So would you all suggest I let a useless father like this into my daughters life just to let her down once more????

When relationships between parents go wrong, mothers make full use off of UK family laws, which is totally unfair to fathers & always favour mothers to the detriment of childrens’ & fathers’ emotional and financial well being. The only people that bear the brunt & pay the price are Dads & the children. High time to take a fair & rational look at the law & treat Dads fairly.
