IT WAS BEDLAM IN LONDON!
























NEW CALIFORNIA LAW - it's about time!

A just-enacted law (SB 1088) in California which goes into effect next January will make evaluators and mediators forbidden from communicating ex parte with judges and attorneys, including GALS, in child cusody cases. It's about time, eh? Now for the remaining states... (I hate to say this, but our "opposition" made this happen. I can't wait until we're all on the same side. Am I dreaming, or can it come true? We all want what's best for children, after all.)

PBS PROTEST

Take look at this piece by Dean Tong on Mens News Daily, Friendly Fire: PBS Targeting 'Dads' as Predators on "Breaking the Silence"


excerpt:

Suffice to say, PBS' Breaking the Silence: Children's Stories was successful in promoting the ideological dogma that "Dads are monsters and obtain custody for it and that PAS is junk science." But this old news, right? What was more appalling and unconscionable than that were the so-called experts - Meier, Bancroft, et al, who spoke for PBS. This writer does not recall seeing before or after the program a disclaimer that said something like "PBS does not necessarily agree with the opinions of the speakers." The naive and unwitting aforementioned speakers lacked credibility and reliability. In this writer's opinion, other than Ofra Bikel, PBS does also.

And take a look at this piece by Pat Cangelosi on Blogwonks, PBS Bombarded by Protests over Father-bashing Show

excerpt:

Calling Breaking the Silence distorted and one-sided, fatherhood and shared parenting advocates have bombarded PBS with over 2,000 calls and letters protesting the film. The protesters say that fathers rarely win custody of their children, and are frequently victims of false accusations of abuse or molestation. They demand that PBS allow them a chance to present their side of the issue.
