April 25 is Parental Alienation
Awareness Day If you
feel that the changes you're seeing are extreme, though,
you may suspect
Parental Alienation Syndrome. This is when a child
who previously enjoyed a warm relationship with both
parents begins to reject one parent solely based on
strong, negative claims introduced by the other parent.

Family court media reporting delays 'wise'
The government was wise to defer a decision on whether
the media should be able to report family court
hearings, according to a senior judge.
In the UK 200,000 men
are now staying at home to bring up their children.
The
latest research from the Office of National Statistics
shows that there are now 200,000 men staying at home to
bring up their children - almost double the number there
were in 1993, when official records began. And we’re not
just house-husbands at home full-time

Family justice – your views on its future
Views on how the family justice system can do its best
to protect children and help families to work through
their disagreements are being sought by a panel of
experts.
The Times Family court reforms face opposition
from judges and children's’ groups.
The original reforms, introduced last April after a
campaign led by The Times, among others, enabled the
media to report on thousands of cases that were
previously closed. But they have nonetheless proved
something of a damp squib because of continuing
restrictions over anonymity and the publication of
material other than the gist of proceedings.
Read the Times article
Please leave your comment in the Times like Bob Kat
who wrote: Things can't go on the way they are. The
very secret family courts are responsible for breeding
contempt for justice and a lack of any public trust or
confidence in child protection in practice. A balance
must be reached so that all child protection in practice
matters and family justice procedures are made
transparent. I would like to add that as someone who has
had to report the seen abuse of children, to the
relevant authorities and who is in touch with others who
have had to do the same, I am now aware that many child
abuse concerns raised are not being recorded, documented
or accounted for as they should be.
Observations and notes written down by some child
protection practitioners, in many cases, are very flawed
and full of errors which are resulting in masking truth.
Some of the social services 'case notes' are built on
sand and are then being 'presented' as 'concrete
evidence' in family justice procedures! So called
evidence which is being heard in secret and which is not
being challenged. The family courts must be brought out
of the dark ages. Justice can only be served in the
light!

MP'S Response
NEW
Early Day Motion EDM 325
- FAMILY COURTS
Hemming, John
That this House notes that the Government has expressed
a desire to increase accountability in the family
courts; regrets that the Children, Schools and Families
Bill as currently drafted would have the effect of
increasing secrecy in the family courts; and calls on
the Government urgently to draft amendments to deliver
its commitment to accountability
EDM 325
Why Government and media
announcements on opening the family courts are little more
than a massive hoodwinking exercise Response to Jack Straw’s proposals on Family
Court Openness
Jack Straw has made an oral statement about the opening up of
family courts.

The Right Hon Jack Straw MP, Lord Chancellor and Secretary of
State for Justice said before this announcement: "I am
concerned that not even I am allowed into a family court
without permissions" Well Jack Straw, even if all the changes
to the family court in your statement are brought in silly boy
because 'you'll still need permissions before you are allowed
in?'
