Stop Court-Ordered Domestic Violence
Tatiana Pauwels’ Nine Initiatives For State Legislatures To End Court-Ordered Domestic Violence By The U.S. Family Court System:

1. Require judges, children’s attorneys, mediators, law enforcement and other professionals to receive certified training in recognizing domestic violence, gender bias, and the effects of domestic violence on children

2. Screen for domestic violence in custody case initiation

3. Ban Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) and other unscientific theories

4. Repeal laws and practices regarding “Friendly Parent” and Joint Custody

5. Allow children to speak and testify before a judge

6. Hold judges accountable for their decisions by eradicating the use of domestic violence gag orders imposed upon protective mothers and their support teams

7. Require child protective agencies to consult and partner with domestic violence advocates when domestic violence is suspected

8. Correct past mistakes: Revoke joint/shared custody decrees where there is evidence of abuse in the child’s environment

9. Abuser must pass the “Assessing Change in Batterers" by Lundy Bancroft and Jay G. Silverman, before he/she may have any contact with the person he/she abused.

if the courts cant protect my son they need to back off and let me do my job so i can!
Let's take action and responsibility. We owe it to ourselves as mothers and as children.
I sign this in honor of my grandaughter, Sarah Honea, who was forced by the courts to face her abuser. This experience triggered her mind to bring up more details of the horrific ordeal to the degree that she made the decision to press charges. The only thing she got in return was a traumatic experience in front of a grand jury who never heard the full story or the entire evidence that was available to the attorney. She is very disillusioned with our legal system & still lives in fear daily. Will she, her siblings, or her mom, Jennifer, ever be set completely free from this never-ending nightmare?
Why do the courts and judges and attorneys keep on ignoring the obvious that women and children are being abused by men and the court system is stealing ALL OF OUR MONEY MAKING US DEFEND OURSELVES AND OUR CHILDREN! WHY? Doesn't ANYONE SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING AROUND THE COUNTRY AND AROUND THE WORLD? We have a voice, we are screaming, why won't anyone listen???
I Lost My Two Daughters, I raised for 7 years, and took care of day & night in UNJUSTICE court battle, to a foreign man that can take my children out of this country, which I May NEver see again.. The Courts Have allowed his abused & control on me & My children.THE COURTS IN ILL & MO HAVE AND ARE CONTINUING Causing further Parential Alientation. This needs to Stop.
What is Sad it all has to do with Money & Power, I am not Criminal, but I lost only becuase I cannot afford an attorney & state will not provide one only because, 1st they said because they do not have the finanical means and another time because I no longer live in that state. But Yet you give Criminal State paid attorneys paid with my Hard earn money for Taxes, call that fair or do we live in a foreign country...

I hope they listen and change the laws.
where there is evidence of Domestic Violence, children should NOT have to "visit" the perpetrator. It has been proven for YEARS, that it is only another way of the Bully, excuse me PERPETRATOR to have control over his victim, and turn out more Bully's!
