@Elizabeth_Gra35 @MoJGovUK @MyCafcass @SheraFamily @BarnettAdrienne @DrJessTaylor @UNSRVAW deep seated mysogyny

Why is it that family courts @MoJGovUK will give RAPIST Dads child contact, yet totally erase protective Mums who are domestic abuse (DA) victims accused of alienation by abuser & @MyCafcass who then sever child-mum bond #why? @SheraFamily @BarnettAdrienne @DrJessTaylor @UNSRVAW

@nadski65 the whole thing is disgusting and inhumane.

Recent research by Kathryn J. Spearman of Johns Hopkins University, in collaboration with the SHERA Research Group, sheds light on the devastating effects of post-separation abuse on children's health and well-being. The study, published in Children and Youth Services Review, identifies key tactics used by abusive ex-partners to exert control long after separation — tactics that directly harm children and are too often ignored or enabled by legal systems. Key Findings from the Study: Obstruction of Healthcare Abusers may intentionally interfere with children’s medical access — refusing treatment, withholding medication, or cancelling appointments — leaving children with unmet health needs that can escalate over time. Stalking and Surveillance Ongoing harassment, both physical and digital, causes emotional distress. Children may be followed, monitored, or used as messengers — keeping the abuse alive through fear and control. Manipulation of the Legal System Family courts can be weaponized. The study notes how some abusers exploit custody proceedings, claiming to seek involvement in the child's life while using court processes to maintain power over the survivor parent and isolate the child from them. Weaponizing the Child–Parent Relationship Children are often manipulated to reject the non-abusive parent. This may include denying them access to their mother’s culture, language, or extended family — effectively erasing half of their identity. A Real-Life Example/Just imagine A mother — the child's full-time caregiver since birth — suddenly lost custody of her child after a judge ruled on the basis of “potential future harm”, despite there being no evidence of any abuse, neglect, or harm from her side. Mother reported DV and coercion with evidence. Overnight, the child was removed from her care and placed with the estranged father and his new partner — people the child barely knew. The mother, who once spent every day and night with her child, was cut out almost entirely. The mother was instructed by Cafcass not to tell her own child that she missed or loved her child — as if a mother’s love had become a threat rather than a comfort. The child was : 💔 Asking to "go home" — to return to the only life they truly knew. 💔 Saying, “These aren’t my shoes,” when handed gifts from the maternal side. 💔 No longer speaking their mother’s native language — a connection to culture and identity, now lost. 💔 Being denied contact with their maternal family — the father now controls who the child sees, for how long, and when. 💔 Forced to miss two birthdays and two Christmases with their mother, sobbing as they recount it. Two years of disrupted contact — despite a clear court order. The mother went back to court because the father was repeatedly disturbing contact, in direct violation of the order for 2 years— yet instead of protecting her rights or the child’s, the court handed her second barring order, silencing her for trying to seek help. Two years of silencing. Of erasure. Of heartbreak. How can a system allow this? How does a child go from being nurtured daily by a loving mother, to asking strangers if they can “please go home now”? Can anything be more heartbreaking? How are we — as a society, as legal professionals, as human beings — allowing this to happen to innocent children? #FamilyCourtInjustice #MotherhoodIsNotABurden #SilencedByTheSystem #FamilyLawReform #ContactDenied #BelieveMothers @MoJGovUK #BarringOrderAbuse @hansummers @RupertLowe10 #JusticeForMothers #justiceforSara @SheraFamily #ProtectOurChildren @louisetickle @ChildrenDeserveBetter @MyCafcass @NACCCofficial #PostSeparationAbuse @The_HCPC #CoerciveControl

@DrProudman @carolvorders @HelenaKennedyKC yes the whole court system upholds abuse - must be changed

@nadski65 I think that family break up and abuse behind 4 walls, finances most of the judicial system. It needs a massive overhaul. Surely it breaks all forms of human rights.

Child and Mother Sabotage (#CAMS) is a coordinated failure — and it’s being enabled by entire systems that should be protecting children. Let’s call them out: 🔹 Solicitors Actively advising abusive fathers on how to manipulate the system. Using legal strategies to exhaust, silence, and discredit mothers. 🔹 Cafcass, Social Services Making recommendations with no evidence of abuse by mothers — while ignoring coercive control and post-separation abuse. Obsessed with hypothetical “future harm” over real present-day danger. 🔹 Contact centres, NACCC Making money while watching red flags fly. Many fail to report controlling behaviours or trauma signs back to the court — choosing income over safety. 🔹 Judges Empowering perpetrators through their rulings. Issuing Part 91(14) gag orders to mothers trying to raise concerns — while granting unsupervised contact and residency to known abusers. This isn’t neutrality, it’s alignment with power. 🔹 HCPC Allowing professionals to force unregulated “therapies” on mothers reporting DV or coercion. Survivors are pathologized instead of protected — while these practitioners keep their licences. This is not child-centred justice. This is systemic re-abuse. Time to shine a light. Time to hold every link in the chain accountable. #FamilyCourtCrisis #EndCAMS #ProtectMothers #BelieveSurvivors #JudicialReform @SheraFamily @MoJGovUK @hansummers @DrProudman @RupertLowe10 @The_HCPC @MyCafcass @NACCCofficial

@nataliepage the court system needs a dramatic overhaul

Forcing a rape victim into years and years of communication and contact with her RAPIST is one hundred percent state sanctioned abuse. The court needs to locate its moral compass urgently. theguardian.com/law/2025/apr/0…

@Tesla @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk Sick of you 1% ers selfishly crashing the market for your own needs.

@SEAresource yes but why is no one managing to get financial institutions to sort this out. Mortgage companies are complicit in forcing partners into bad credit and basically enabling the partner to force you out of your home by doing nothing in financial abuse @santander

To maintain control, abusers often set out to create economic instability – leaving victim-survivors struggling to make ends meet. They may withhold their share of rent or bills, force their partner into debt, or even cut off income by sabotaging employment. Given this, it’s no surprise that 17% of women who experienced economic abuse in the last 12 months were left with unmanageable debt. If you’re concerned about debt, know that you’re not alone.

@Her_Mum_ omg I so sympathise

I found another message from my daughter today. I love you too my darling x She was stolen via abusive #familycourt process aged 7 and lives with CSA perp father. We are allowed to see each other a few times a year. This is a #humanrightsabuse #familycourtabuse #childabuse

@ellieokwilson So well done. The legal and court system is intrinsically mysoginistic, and needs changing. But well done you for taking it on, especially with the trauma you experienced on many levels. Curious to hear more about how you did this.

In 2022 my rapist was convicted, but his lawyer left me traumatised. Amidst the pain, I found my power and built a case against that lawyer by myself. And won. A few months ago, I returned to Glasgow’s High Court to take this photo. It used to scare me, but not any more.

@laurarichards99 @thecrimeanalyst This is all well and good, but not many coercive control cases make it past the first post. By the time the police or courts pay any attention, its too late. Perpetrators need to be punished early on and a much more joined up court/ legal / children system needs to be created.

We fought hard for this David - given the small numbers who’re convicted we also want those who have not been convicted but who have abused 2 women or more to be included & managed by MAPPA. We want men’s violent histories to be joined up change.org/p/include-seri… @thecrimeanalyst
