I attended an event last night at Touro Law School where Kathleen Rice, Touro Alumna and Nassau County District Attorney, was the guest speaker on the topic of Domestic Violence. I asked her if the prosecutors office has brought charges against anyone that has falsely claimed domestic violence especially in cases of divorce and custody battles. Although she seemed somewhat surprised by the question she answered honestly saying that her office is aware of the problem but has not acted on it. The pattern of mostly women claiming domestic violence just to improve their position in custody and child support will sadly continue until these cases are taken seriously and prosecuted. I ask you, is this equality? -

This system was used by my then-pregnant girlfriend to kidnap my unborn son from me. He is now 11 months old and I have yet to see him. There needs to be recourse for the true victims, those who are subject to these manipulators and liars.REPORT COMMENTS

False allegations not only do damage to the one accused, but also to the accused's family and friends. I don't believe the men and women who make these false allegations realize, or care about, the impact they have on those surrounding the accused. Often times the false allegations come about when someone feels betrayed or hurt and they want to get back at that person. It's that kind of selfish thinking that ruins people's lives. Not only does this negatively impact the accused and their family, but also those with real, genuine abuse claims. I have noticed that I am now more skeptical of abuse claims where I used to be very sympathetic. People who falsely accuse others of this kind of abuse are belittling and trivializing those who are actually being abused. As someone who has been abused and also close with someone that has been falsely accused, I understand the grey area and very fine line that needs to be walked by law enforcement in these situations. However, I agree that something needs to be done to help those who are falsely accused. I hope good things come out of this petition and more light is shed on situations where someone is falsely accused. Thank you for doing your part to support the men and women who are seemingly helpless to defend themselves when falsely accused of these crimes.REPORT COMMENTS

I have been in contact with Senator John Edwards of Roanoke, Virginia for several YEARS about this issue! He agrees that there is a problem with false accusations, specifically with Protective Orders and Restraining Orders, but he still REFUSES to do anything about it!! He can be reached at (540) 985-8690 People MUST call their STATE LEGISLATORS about this! Get RID of Protective and Restraining Orders!!!! They are done with NO TRIAL, NO DUE PROCESS, and very little, if ANY evidence!! It's SYSTEMIC and WIDESPREAD!! It is ALL coming from VAWA (The violence against women act) which is Federal, but the STATE LEGISLATORS are the ones who can change it!!! If you're in Virginia... Contact: Senator John Edwards.... (540) 985-8690 Tell him to END Protective Orders!! There is NO due process with a Protective Order!! NONE!REPORT COMMENTS

For the past six years, my wife and I have been abused by our neighbors who obtained restraining orders against us with assistance from the police and city attorney. Essentially, we challenged the government about some issues in our neighborhood. The neighbors and the government didn't like their ILLEGAL actions being questioned. They had their feelings hurt. We live in Seattle. Nobody has ever been physically harmed. WE have been emotionally and financially damaged. The police and city government coached neighbors to get court orders and continue to help them harass us by abusing the orders. We filed an abuse of process suit. The court dismissed it based on anti-SLAPP and we had to pay over $100,000 in attorney's fees and sanctions. Essentially, the court said anyone can abuse the legal system and lie as long as the system is in on it. Again, we were punished for challenging the government. We had attorneys for our cases. Obviously, their efforts could not stop the abusive orders. The courts don't care! At one renewal hearing, the judge said 'I only have 15 minutes. We have a busy docket today.' Our incompetent, expensive attorney didn't care and told the judge 'we don't care if it's renewed.' That definitely wasn't how we felt. But, we were prohibited from speaking; only the lawyers and judges can talk to each other in court! At another hearing the judge said 'I'm not even supposed to be here today.' Judges and the legislature have all the power to stop this abuse and they don't. Lives are ruined financially and emotionally. Taxpayers' money is wasted. And it's almost impossible to get rid of judges who don't care or don't want to do their jobs. This is shameful and disgusting in our country. It's up to the legislature to stop this now!!REPORT COMMENTS

I have seen firsthand how the courts treat men accused of DV. The women can say and do what ever they want to ruin a mans life. Its throw them(men) in jail because' SHE SAID" he did this or that" even though she is a jealous twit and is going to say and do whatever it takes to make sure he goes to jail for a crime he did NOT commit! Just because she is an evil person. Those women should be ashamed and punished. Lied under oath! Her tearful account of something that did not happen the way she says it happened! I blame the lawmakers, police,and judges, for creating this monster. It's your fault we have so many men seeking revenge,you have allowed these power hungry evil creatures to destroy someones life...because you(the broken system) allow it.Trying to protect the innocent little woman from the big bad wolf. EPIC FAIL! I know some are in need, but it needs to be investigated and both sides need to be heard,and you can't always believe what comes out of a witches mouth to be true!REPORT COMMENTS

Having been through this abuse with a non-domestic restraining order against me, I am all too aware of how terrible the results of such actions can be. I am still suffering from PTSD because of this. Please do something about this unlawful abuse. Those of us who are having a restraining order put against us aren't even able to defend ourselves properly. My cases were total entrapment and staged from the very beginning. Why else would people be filming me at precisely the unscheduled time I came out of my home? Why would they sick some dogs on me so that the dogs came up to me? This was all done and got much worse because I repeatedly called the police about some drug dealers next door to me. These people who went after me had harassed me for two years, even sending unsigned hate letters and assaulting me, but when it came to court, theyREPORT COMMENTS

My son just recently got slapped with an order of protection keeping him from his wife and child. What a shock for a father who has never raised his voice or spanked his child. The mother on the other hand has on multiple occasions slapped, kicked and pinched him so hard in my presence that I have even had to tell her to stop. So many lies and yet she makes him out to be the abuser. My granddaughter has made comments to family members that mommy is mean to daddy. I find it difficult to believe that a Judge would sign something without any real proof and it should not be allowed. Also, my father has been abused by his wife for years and she has tried on several occasions to set him up trying to get him to strike back. He was so afraid for his safety that he started taping her tantum/episodes and I still have those tapes. Very scary and it disgusts me to think that women can get away with so much.REPORT COMMENTS

mel c. new jersey south I was accused of domestic violence 20 years ago based on nothing but accusation. I have lost my home, kids, and 65% of my pay since. Been thrown in jail,and have money billed illegally to keep me in their system. still can't get the restraining order dropped and I live half mile away and never violated it ever. Kids don't know me and haven't seen youngest in 15 years. Judges do not care,lawyers do not care. appellate courts do not care. review boards are a joke. I am ashamed of the country I served under to let this happen to good men and women without proof. if you have V.A. benefits you are a target. have a prenup to keep what you earned by serving our military, not them.REPORT COMMENTS

My husband's ex claw down his face leaving a bloody trial, then called 911 claiming DV on him. Thankfully he didn't wash off his face and simply sat in the front yard waiting for the police. Though she went to jail that night for DV, it could have easily gone the other way if the officer had simply believed her side of the story. It is a disservice to women of REAL DV for others to use so very carelessly.REPORT COMMENTS

Men are being falsely charged with domestic violence. In the past, men charged of rape in South Carolina would go directly to jail. The only way to go directly to jail and not collect $200 is Domestic Violence. Now, the only way that a DEA or Law Enforcement Agent decides to put anyone in jail is to use the same premises and steal Social Security Claims. Corruption up in America...

Something needs to be done about this. It's unconstitutional and way too easy for an unbalanced person to use the courts for vengeance.

I am probably the odd person out here because I am a woman who has been falsely accused of DV. I reported a friend and mother for child neglect and have been subjected to intense harassment, threats and an overall sense of dread. She showed up to request the restraining order with a fake black eye and scraped on her knees. She has reported me to the State Board of Nursing in an attempt to have my nursing license revoked and falsely accused me of stealing from her. She has a mental illness but it is no excuse for this behavior. Thankfully, I am not in as bad a situation as many who have posted here in support of the petition. The false allegation of DV and subsequent granting of a TRO is disheartening.REPORT COMMENTS
