Dads deserve a fair go

To all,

Pity the headline wasn't "Children deserve a fair go" (Sunday Herlad Sun) Sometimes I wonder if they do it on purpose. Otherwise I'm sure they'd get a dressing down. Besides the authorities job is to protect children, right?
It wouldn't do if the harm they were causing our kids became the issue. Its all about Domestic Violence isn't it? which they deny is perpetrated equally by both sexes (and certainly not that its slightly more likely for women to be the perpetrators).

Its a crazy desperate strategy - thats driven mainly by money and in some quarters the belief that women's rights must be advanced at the expense of men's, and by implication, their children's.

ie: the right to avoid this current reality;

Children who loose regular contact with their father are;

- 63% of youth suicides

- 70% of juveniles in State Institutions

- 71% of High School dropouts

- 75% of children in drug abuse centres

- 85% of children with behavioral problems

- 87% of juvenile offenders.

- 90% of homeless and runaway children

- 85% of child abuse victims Crazy as it is its very effective. If the media saw the children as the victims instead of women the anti father brigade would have no where to go. They've got no evidence to support their loony assertion that its men that perpetrate Family Violence not women but they don't need it. While the media is presenting it as a man Vs women thing the terrible truth of whats going on gets side lined.

If we can get the media to address this issue instead of the crazy "Men abuse women and children" assertion the politicians and the courts (and their practitioners) will have to start having to put children's interests first, which essentially is what most people want (and their fathers demand). Based on my experience with the PR world I reckon this can be achieved relatively simply.
