Compulsory mediation is superficially attractive but can be substantially wrong.

Pynchme, What do you propose to do, about 50,000 Australian children being seriously, neglected and abused by their deadbeat, single, mothers? (of course this is an extremely conservative figure, covering the very worst cases, the real, figure would be half a million)

Should DOCS place them with their biological fathers? To see if they can do a better job of parenting than their deadbeat, single, mothers, have been doing so far? All investigation, so far, into the limited number of "COD" children resident with their fathers, has of course, found that they are, doing a better job. Should DOCS be placing them with, yet another deadbeat, single, mother, looking to increase her centre link payments, by fostering? As DOCS in NSW have been doing. Should DOCS be trying other relatives of the children? To see if Grandparents, Uncles, Aunts, etc, can, do better, than these children have been getting so far? Perhaps the biological father might do a better job, if he was living with his parents or his siblings?

Do you support the idea of these children, from the, "Left Behind Generations" mounting a class action against Governments, who failed in their "duty of care", to protect them from their deadbeat, single, mothers, despite repeated, credible, compulsory, reporting to DOCS of severe, cases of neglect and abuse?

Do you support the improvement of the Adoption system in Australia so that successfully married couples with fertility problems, (caused by feminism) can adopt some of these children?

I think every effort should be made to place a child with it's biological father if the mother is unfit. Unfortunately when i was going to court for custody of my daughter Families SA/DOCS seemed to do everything in their power to force her to live with her abusive mother, and from what i see and hear things are not much different today. The government's baby bonus has made the child neglect and abuse situation even worse with thousands of teenage girls, some hardly more than children themselves, having kids just for the money.Once the money runs out and the mothers are faced with the realization of the awesome responsibility of raising a child many will just dump their kids where they can or leave them alone at home [like my own daughter was left] while they go out, having a good time. I don't know if a class action against the government would do any good as DOCS seem to behave with the same arrogance and doctine of non accountability regardless of which government is in power.I do believe however that DOCS and their individual social workers should very much be made accountable in cases where their decisions have contributed to the neglect,abuse or death of a child.
Pynchme does have a point about abusive men though. My beautiful new fiancee went through 19 years of an abusive marriage, her husband would'nt let her go out with freinds, or even get her drivers licence and would abuse her every opportunity. When i first met her she was that downtrodden she would'nt even look me in the eye.
