Financial abuse doesn’t always look like taking the money. Sometimes it looks like making sure you never have enough resources to leave.

This is now the THIRD time I’ve covered a story where a woman has been put on antipsychotic medication for saying that someone was living in her house - and each time the woman was right - and each time a man was eventually arrested and found to be living in her loft. 1 case in Australia 2 cases in UK. This is of course absolutely atrocious - but also serves to prove that there is ZERO science to a psychiatric disorder diagnosis. This young woman was put on heavy antipsychotics that made her feel like a zombie - for trying to report that someone was living in her loft. What scientific or clinical process led to the diagnosis that she was psychotic and delusional? NOTHING. What rationale was there for the antipsychotics? NOTHING. In cases like this, women are disproportionately represented. Women try to report abuse, violence, concerns - and are still being chalked up as ‘mad’ with no evidence whatsoever. I have been working really hard behind the scenes for months now to build something that can step in when this kind of thing happens - and I will explain more soon. There has to be a way to stop this from happening. Women like Chloe are everywhere, in every country - being gaslit and medicated for no reason when they try to report concerns. Pathologisation is rife - and it must end. Psychiatric diagnosis and medication has no basis in science. She deserves compensation and to have all of this struck from her medical record immediately @LBC

Horrific behaviour from this council. We know this mum and her son and she’s in floods of tears, frightened and at her wits end. It’s not good enough. It’s not even nearly good enough. Women fleeing abuse deserve SO MUCH BETTER. Thank you @Kwajotweneboa for stepping up again.❤️

An incredibly accurate summary of the issues STILL affecting the attitudes to DA in the family justice system and the forgotten impact on children. 🙏@proudmanslaw instagram.com/reel/DWHQzQPjL…

"Retiring from rugby was the biggest mistake of my life". Telling that abusing his wife and mother of his 5 kids for years isn't his biggest mistake. You might have thought it would be, but no. Happily, Hogg is "finally valuing himself" now. Phew. telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/20…

@NataliePage So many mothers victim blamed in family court. I wish more cases could be brought forward. Appeals aren’t always possible and the JCIO does not consider this type of conduct an issue worth investigating regardless of devastating effects on a vulnerable party.

A mum sidelined by the court from her child's life after an act of desperation due to her child's father's abuse has CASE OVERTURNED 🏆 High Court judge has overturned a family court order that sidelined a mother from her child’s life, after that court gave more weight to her single suicide attempt than to the father’s serious domestic violence, including a knife attack on a previous partner that resulted in a prison sentence.

Bravo @drproudman @proudmanslaw @Right2Equality - there is still a dangerous push for victims to engage in #mediation with perpetrators. Dr P also discussed how there is still no definition of rape in #familycourt. Still much to do. Watch in full here: parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/f1…

Thanks @DrProudman for speaking for the children and noting that #familycourt professionals often may not even speak to children (in fact in 1/2 of cases, according to Nuffield FJO Hargreaves et al) & notes that many judges also do not see that a rapist father is a harmful parent

@SheraFamily @Lesleyziggy @DrProudman 👏👏👏👏

I'm working on something HUGE! My book is coming soon. The System Is The Weapon - How Abusive Fathers Exploit Family Courts Against Mothers and Children. Books can hopefully change the world. 💫 I'll share more details with you all soon!

I made a promise to post my detailed account of medical rape, every time this issue comes up. I would like my profession to start engaging with the enormity of this issue. Male doctors sexually assaulting patients and female colleagues is not rare. lascapigliata.com/personal/break…

@clerotto @AndhaBandar 💯 this

As closing ceremony #CSW70 is about to start- a good example here of equity issues "Mothers’ crisis responses to alleged coercive control & non‑fatal strangulation are scrutinised & pathologised, while fathers’ violent histories are too readily recast as “historic mistakes”

#holdalljudgestoaccount When the JCIO and the BSB have thresholds so high for complaints to be taken seriously, it’s obvious that they are not there to uphold standards. They exist to protect reputations. A robust complaints process would not only improve accountability but would encourage higher standards, greater care and better conduct in the first place. Surely this isn’t too much to ask of those who make decisions everyday that can alter the course of people’s lives. REAL accountability is essential not some tick-box exercise put in place to keep ‘us’ in our place!

NEW 💬 After Matthew Pringle hid behind a so-called transparency order, the Court of Appeal has lifted the lid on the ‘deceitful’ behaviour that tricked Liv Nervo into pregnancy: goodlaw.social/hw4o

🚨Police to monitor victims not perpetrators 🚨 It's always the victim who loses rights and privacy. "Hand over your phone," they say. Now it's "We'll tag you to keep you safe." Because monitoring serious criminals sounds too much like policing.

One day an army of children will want answers and the family courts and the government will need to be ready. Answers to why their childhoods were stolen and messed up, why they were robbed of their mothers, why they weren’t listened to, why no one helped them and why all this was done by a cruel pseudoscientific experiment. But the government doesn’t need to wait for the children demanding answers. It can act now and stop the cruel practice of child removal by the family courts and outlaw the so-called experts who profit from it. Amanda’s children need to be reunited with her, please don’t wait until it’s too late to salvage their childhoods

@Helen_Fields @louistheroux I've been reluctant to comment on this doc because of the insistence that now Theroux has covered we must all treat his findings as revelatory. As you note, they are not. It is also the umpteenth male fronted programme on the subject. Sidelining women on this issue is a mistake.

Please read and rage and share then act to save our jury system. Mike says it like it is. theguardian.com/law/commentisf…
