Driving dads into despair – fears family law change will hurt kids

Very interesting article as it is one of only a few that make a point from a father's perspective.

(1) False allegations of Child Abuse: False allegations of abuse, specifically domestic violence and child abuse, are to have no legal repercussions. Lying in Court, even if it results in disastrous emotional turmoil for the child or the other parent, and even if it resulted in hundreds of hours of wasted investigation by child protection officers, will not be punishable, not even incurring a bill for wasted use of services, and not even a small symbolic fine. Given human nature as it is, if it is not punishable, then more parents will LIE in Court.1

HOLY SHIT

(2) Even a Sneeze can be considered Domestic Violence: The definition of Domestic Violence is to be radically watered down, where almost any conceivable behaviour, even a sneeze, could be considered domestic violence.

Somehow it got worse?

(3) Parental Alienation is to be legalised and rewarded: The friendly parent provision to be removed, effectively endorsing and rewarding parents who brain-wash their children into hating the other parent.

Wow. But when a dad does this, they will be punished.

(4) Presumption of Guilt against Fathers: The lowering of the standard of proof, effectivey embedding a presumption of guilt against most fathers, a presumption that would often be impossible to disprove categorically given the nature and time constraints of most of these cases.

Fuck it. Mexico is only across the river. Track them down on facebook and tell them the truth when they turn 15 or 16.

Just so everyone knows, children under 5 are most likely to be killed by their MOTHER not their father.

Domestic violence support groups back the changes, saying women and children who escape abusive households need to be able to speak about domestic violence without fear of punishment.

THEY ARE FREE OF REASONABLE FEAR IF THEY ARE HONEST. IF THEY AREN'T HONEST, THEN THEY SHOULD LOSE EVERYTHING.

I totally agree with the main points, however, phrases such as:

"These are of course out-dated concepts that have no place in a progressive society"

These statements defeat your arguments. Every argument/concept and point of view has made its way into almost every society at one time or another.
