Victim Ordered To Pay Rapists Bills

Today, a disturbing case where a victim of multiple rapes was ordered by a judge to pay her rapist’s bills was revealed by @YahooNewsUK. Society must send a clear message to judges that rape victims should never be ordered to financially subsidise their rapists. Rather than protecting the victim, the court is abusing them all

The Malignant Pseudo Science of Parental Alienation

The tragic irony is that it is worse to accuse than to abuse because many  judges, attorneys, and psychologists believe in the notion of  ‘parental alienation’ as  explaining  most abuse allegations.

Victoria’s Appeal

“All the children who have gone before this review and all the cases currently still going through Family Court are still receiving the same barbaric, cruel treatment”.

The Resolution of Injustice

Injustice has Side Effects

Suzanne (not her real name) left her husband due to Domestic Abuse. She engaged with services who helped her move with the children to a place of safety. The children settled well at school and things were starting to look up. The Family Court papers arrived, but she managed to get some legal aid and
