....“This mandate will no doubt result in an increase in revenue for Planned Parenthood as well as an increase in the more than 329,000 lives the abortion chain ends in one year. Does that sound like women’s health?”

Parental Alienation is Child Abuse
By Rita Fuerst Adams, National Executive Director,
Fathers and Families


Recently, the Detroit Jewish News wrote an informative article on parental alienation: Parental Alienation: Children suffer most from their parents’ inability to resolve conflict in a healthy way. It features one of our members, and another one of our members wrote a heart wrenching letter to the editor in response to the article. Neither chose to be identified. Both are concerned about the potential response of the custodial parent and their children and grandchildren.

During the holidays, parental alienation is particularly difficult for families to deal with. Many of you may relate to the letter one of our members wrote in response to the Detroit Jewish News article. It is a story Fathers and Families hears all too often. One that Fathers and Families wishes to end with shared parenting.

To the editor, Detroit Jewish News:

Regarding your article on ”parental alienation” in the November 8, 2012 issue:

Our family has been plagued by the tragedy of three of our grandchildren being robbed of their father and grandparents because of “unreasonable hatred after … divorce. The contempt is most often aimed at the father.” “Because some parents use litigation as a means of controlling their ex-spouse, the target parent becomes frustrated and depleted, emotionally and financially.”

Our son has spent over a $100,000 in court costs to retain a relationship with his children at enormous sacrifice. He has legal time-share but when he goes to pick up his children ages 9 thru 14 they slam the door in his face. He calls them every day at 8pm, as agreed to and they either do not answer the phone or answer calling him a “liar” and hang up. He has not been alone with his children for over 3 years.

“The child's negativity extends to the other parent's extended family, including grandparents, even if a close relationship existed before.” We, the grandparents once had a wonderful, fun and happy relationship with the children. When the oldest was bar mitzvahed, we were not invited. Our son learned of the bar mitzvah the day before after constant asking to help plan the event and lessons for months.

The children have been taught that their grandparents are evil people that they should not accept gifts or birthday cards from. We keep sending gifts and cards to our son for him to hold until that time that they may “come back to us” and they will know that we never gave up on them.

Although we feel terrible every day for our son’s and our loss of our grandchildren’s love and closeness, we feel a deeper sorrow for our grandchildren’s irreparable harm and loss of a relationship with their father and grandparents. We thank the Detroit Jewish News for opening this subject to the wider community and especially Robert Hack and Richard Victor for their tireless efforts for alienated children.

As Mr. Robert Hack says "Parental alienation is a form of child abuse".

Regards,
Devoted Grandparents




What You Can Do
By Rita Fuerst Adams, National Executive Director,
Fathers and Families


Rita Fuerst Adams
Rita Fuerst Adams
As many of you know, parental alienation is child abuse. Fathers and Families is working on making shared parenting the norm because we believe this is a solution for parental alienation.

One of the researchers in the field, Edward Kruk, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Social Work at the University of British Columbia, has questioned whether or not sole custody is a form of parental alienation. It certainly provides more of an opportunity for it.

Dr. Kruk poignantly asks, “Why are parents with no civil or criminal wrongdoing forced to surrender their responsibility to raise their children?” and “Is the removal of a parent from the life of a child, via legal sole custody, itself a form of parental alienation?”

What can we do?

  • Contact the Detroit Jewish News to thank them for bringing attention to parental alienation and the impact it has on our children.
  • Introduce yourself to the editor of your neighborhood paper. Work with Fathers and Families to place stories and information about the importance of shared parenting and that parental alienation is real and going on in your neighborhood.
  • Send the article to your friends and family to inform and educate them.
  • Encourage your friends and family to sign up for the Fathers and Families e-newsletter so they may learn more about shared parenting and how it is the solution for many of our children’s problems.
  • Speak out about the signs of parental alienation. It may help other families identify the problems they are having so they are better equipped to determine how to deal with it.
In her book Parenting Apart, parent educator and author Christina McGhee gives five key signs of parental alienation:
  • The child has a black-and-white view of his parents, perceiving the alienating parent as good and honest and the target parent as all bad. Negativity toward the other parent eventually turns to hatred and contempt, which is reinforced by the alienating parent.
  • The child mimics accusations and opinions about one parent but denies being coached or influenced by the other parent, insisting the ideas are his own.
  • The child’s negativity extends to the other parent’s extended family, including grandparents, even if a close relationship existed before.
  • The child’s contempt and rejection are not based on actual circumstances such as abuse or harmful behavior, but rather on seemingly unwarranted or unsubstantiated reasons.
  • The child consistently rejects one parent and refuses to see or spend time with him or her, regardless of how close their bond was in the past.

American Minute with Bill Federer Nov. 29 - "The safest road to Hell is the gradual one..." - C.S. Lewis

Nov. 29 - "The safest road to Hell is the gradual one..." - C.S. Lewis

His death went unnoticed, as he died the same day John F. Kennedy was shot.

His books are some of the most widely read in English literature, with over 200 million sold worldwide and, nearly 50 years after his death, continue to sell a million copies a year.

His name was Clive Staples Lewis, born NOVEMBER 29, 1898.



At age 19, he fought in the trenches in World War I.

An agnostic, he became a professor at Oxford and Cambridge.

He credits his Catholic friend and fellow writer, J.R.R. Tolkien, author of Lord of the Rings, as being instrumental in bringing him to faith in Christ.



Among his most notable books are: The Screwtape Letters; Miracles; The Problem of Pain; Abolition of Man; and The Chronicles of Narnia, which include The Lion, Witch and Wardrobe.



C.S. Lewis stated (The Oxford Socratic Club, 1944. pp. 154-165):

"If...I swallow the scientific cosmology as a whole, then not only can I not fit in Christianity, but I cannot even fit science.

If minds are wholly dependent on brains, and brains on bio-chemistry, and bio-chemistry (in the long run) on the meaningless flux of atoms, I cannot understand how the thought of those minds should have any more significance than the sound of the wind in the trees."



In Mere Christianity, 1952, C.S. Lewis wrote:

"All that we call human history - money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery - is the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy."

Get the DVD - Miracles in American History



Having once been an agnostic, C.S. Lewis expressed in Mere Christianity, 1952:

     "I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept his claim to be God.'
    
That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher.
    
He would either be a lunatic - on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg - or else he would be the Devil of Hell.

You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse.

You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."



In The Screwtape Letters, 1942, C.S. Lewis wrote:

"The safest road to Hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts."

C.S. Lewis wrote:

"God cannot give us happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing."

"There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'"



"Everyone says forgiveness is a lovely idea, until they have something to forgive."

C.S. Lewis wrote:

"Christianity...is a religion you could not have guessed...It is not the sort of thing anyone would have made up. It has just that queer twist about it that real things have."



In Mere Christianity, 1952, C.S. Lewis wrote:

"The Eternal Being, who knows everything and who created the whole universe, became not only a man but (before that) a baby, and before that a fetus in a woman's body."

America’s Pediatricians Claim the Right to Contracept Your Kids

Parents are Not to Know (But They are Expected to Pay) 
By Steven W. Mosher Weekly Briefing: 2012 (v14)
Population Research Institute

The day before Thanksgiving, I got a call from a harried reporter. “The American Academy of Pediatrics has issued a statement on “Emergency Contraception,” he said. “I’d like to get your take on it.”

The 10-page document turns out to be a full-throated endorsement of what is euphemistically called “Plan B” (levonorgestrel manufactured by Teva Women’s Health) for kids of all ages. The current FDA rules, which limit emergency contraception to young women 17 years or older, are too restrictive, the document argues.

Those of us (including, I am guessing, a number of pediatricians) who conscientiously object to flooding immature teenage bodies with powerful, steroid-based drugs will not accept this statement on multiple grounds.

....Perhaps the most egregious claim of a statement which makes many such claims is that "at the policy level, pediatricians should advocate for increased non-prescription access to emergency contraception for teenagers regardless of age and for insurance coverage of emergency contraception to reduce cost barriers." Allowing 13-year-olds to buy steroid-based drugs without their parents’ foreknowledge and consent is a violation of parents’ rights and is also not in the best interest of the teenagers themselves.

Finally, someone needs to realize how much of this is driven by the profit motive. Big Pharma pays for many of these studies which assert the purported benefits of providing drugs that they manufacture to as many people as possible at the expense of the taxpayers. Such rent-seeking is typical of the kind of bureaucratic capitalism that we now see coming to dominate the medical space under Obamacare.

Children Should Not Bear the Brunt of Balancing the Budget

Children Should Not Bear the Brunt of Balancing the Budget

by SuzanneCWLA

As a part of our ongoing These Cuts Won’t Heal Campaign, CWLA has launched a petition on our Causes.Com page to ask President Obama and Speaker Boehner to hold children harmless in the deficit reduction negotiations. Add your voice by signing the petition today: http://bit.ly/HoldChildrenHarmless.
Millions of children are reported for suspicion of abuse and neglect each year. They are from families struggling with economic insecurity, health and mental health challenges, and histories of trauma. Families on the edge can use resources to stabilize, mitigating the risk of maltreatment. Child welfare funding provides resources for children and families to heal. Child abuse and neglect prevention and safety net funding goes to resources that keep families strong and helps them find stability. Adoption funding helps new families form and solidify.
The letter explains how these programs are a key way to prevent  and treat child maltreatment, but also how they help strengthen families so they can contribute to the recovery and prepare children to lead tomorrow. It also points out that many of these funding streams have already been cut or capped in recent deals to reduce the deficit. It's time for us to take them off the table.
We started this effort just over two weeks ago and child advocates rallied to beat our original goal of 5,000 signatures before the holiday. We sent the message to the White House and then, we raised the bar. We set out to double the support for children and accomplished it in just two days. Over 10,000 strong, we can’t stop now. As conversations between President Obama and Congress continue, let's make it known that our voice on behalf of vulnerable children will only grow louder.
Sign the petition and share it with your friends, family, staff, colleagues, and professional networks today. Please also make use of our sample tweets and Facebook posts  to encourage folks to sign. Together, we can raise the bar for children and families.

=============================================

I sure wish some new leadership could take over projects like this. This needs a strong response from Family Rights people.

The people who are in these programs get plenty of government money and have all the motivation in the world to keep this phony baloney kidnapping and hostage scheme going strong.

America's families have NO advocate strongly opposing this.  How about YOU?

    Wired SKorea to stem digital addiction from age 3

    AP Technology Writer

    SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - Park Jung-in, an 11-year-old South Korean, sleeps with her Android smartphone instead of a teddy bear. When the screen beams with a morning alarm, she wakes up, picks up her glasses and scrolls through tens of unread messages from friends, shaking off drowsiness.

    Throughout the day, the gadget is in her hands whether she is in school, in the restroom or in the street as she constantly types messages to her friends. Every hour or so, she taps open an application in her phone to feed her digital hamster.

    "I get nervous when the battery falls below 20 percent," Park said as she fiddled with the palm-size gadget. "I find it stressful to stay out of the wireless hotspot zone for too long."

    In South Korea, where the government provides counseling programs and psychological treatment for an estimated 2 million people who cannot wean themselves from playing online computer games, youngsters such as Park have previously not been considered as potential addicts.

    Here and in other parts of Asia, online addiction has long been associated with hardcore gamers who play online games for days on end, isolated from their school, work or family life and blurring the line between the real and fantasy online worlds. In a shocking 2010 case in South Korea, a 3-month-old girl died after being fed just once a day by her parents who were consumed with marathon online game sessions.

    Feds: $100,000 to teach teen girls 'condom negotiation'


    November 29, 2012 | 1:56 pm

    The Washington Examiner

    The administration is funding a $100,000 study of pregnant and "at-risk" 14-17-year-old girls on probation in Houston, Texas to determine ways to help them choose safer lifestyles and avoid pregnancy, including better "condom negotiation" tactics.

    The National Institutes of Health, part of the Health and Human Services Department, is providing a University of Houston researcher the money because of the lack of study of female teen juveniles in trouble with the law.

    The school said the study, "Choices - Teen: A Bundled Risk Reduction Intervention for Juvenile Justice Females," will include 30 at-risk girls, ages 14-17, on intensive probation with the Harris County Juvenile Probation Department.

    The goal, said the school, is to determine if intervention programs will help the kids make better life decisions.

    U.S. Birth Rate Falls to a Record Low; Decline Is Greatest Among Immigrants
    by Gretchen Livingston and D’Vera Cohn
    Pew Research Center

    OVERVIEW

    The U.S. birth rate dipped in 2011 to the lowest ever recorded, led by a plunge in births to immigrant women since the onset of the Great Recession.

    The overall U.S. birth rate, which is the annual number of births per 1,000 women in the prime childbearing ages of 15 to 44, declined 8% from 2007 to 2010. The birth rate for U.S.-born women decreased 6% during these years, but the birth rate for foreign-born women plunged 14%—more than it had declined over the entire 1990-2007 period.1 The birth rate for Mexican immigrant women fell even more, by 23%

    False Memories Found to Endure

    Child Abuse Defense News

    New developments in law, medicine, and psychology affecting child abuse cases. For additional news and information, visit www.ChildAbuseDefense.pro.

    False Memories Found to Endure

    A recent study found that false memories persisted as strongly as true memories for a period of a year and a half. The study is reported in full here and is summarized in a Scientific American blog here.

    The study subjects were not children, and the false memories the experimenters induced them to form did not concern child abuse. The false memory phenomenon, though, has been the cause of many false allegations of abuse by children.

    The study's finding is consistent with results of the "mousetrap studies" by Stephen Ceci and colleagues. In those studies children were misled to believe they had experienced an injury and a trip to the hospital when they were younger. At the end of the study, when their parents explained to them that they had been tricked by the researchers—that in fact they had never had a finger caught in a mousetrap—many of the children rejected their parents' correction and continued to insist this had happened to them.

    Parental Rights- URGENT: Senate Vote Set - Call Now!

    URGENT: Senate Vote Set - Call Now!

    We have just received word that the U.S. Senate will hold a straight up or down vote on Tuesday, December 4, on whether or not the United States should ratify the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). If 2/3 of the senators present vote yes, the United States will ratify this UN treaty.

    ParentalRights.org does not oppose the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We do not oppose the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). We appreciate that these laws safeguard the rights of parents whose children have disabilities. But we oppose the CRPD for the simple principle that Americans should make the law for America. It is wrong for the United States to ratify a United Nations treaty that will give up our sovereignty to unelected, unaccountable UN bureaucrats.

    We have been told that the pro-CRPD side is waging one of the most aggressive, organized lobbying campaigns ever. The U.S. State Department and Obama Administration officials are pressuring individual senators to support the CRPD. It is crucial that senators on our side hear from you, your friends, your family, and from anyone who opposes giving the UN power over our nation, and over our precious children and family members who have disabilities.

    Please call your two U.S. Senators today, tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday. You can reach them through the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121, or you can find your Senators’ phone numbers by clicking on your state at http://parentalrights.org/states.

    Senators Lee (UT), Toomey (PA), Paul (KY), and DeMint (SC) are leading the charge to stop the CRPD, so it is not necessary to call them. We are confident that the other 32 Republican Senators who opposed moving to debate on the CRPD on Monday will also vote against the treaty, but we believe that you should call them anyway to encourage them in the face of strong opposition.

    Please give them some or all of this message:

    “I urge you to oppose the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This treaty surrenders U.S. sovereignty to unelected UN bureaucrats and will threaten parental care of children with disabilities. Our nation already has laws to protect disabled Americans. This treaty is unnecessary and will hurt families. If the Senate ratifies this treaty, it would be the first time ever that the U.S. has ratified a treaty that obligates us to recognize economic, social, and cultural entitlements as rights under domestic law.”

    Then, please forward this email to your friends and family and urge them to also call. Please also post this information on social media to help get the word out to every parent and freedom-loving person in America.

    For more information on the dangers of this treaty please visit our CRPD page here.

    There are three full business days left to defeat this treaty and preserve U.S. sovereignty and parental rights. Please keep calling. And please keep praying.
