By Warwick Marsh, published 4/9/2009

Call it a renewal of fatherhood, family revival or a love revolution, but whatever you call it, it is happening.

'… “oh woe is me I am a divorced father and the bitch has the kids and the more I look I can see amazons everywhere" ...'

Priceless! Love it! Perfectly sums up the sad Peter Pans here who believe the universe is in cahoots with the female gender to make their oh so important little lives miserable.

Please stop boring us all with your sad, one-sided little divorce story. If you - and others like you - believe that mothers at risk of abusing their children have no right whatsoever to any form of respite or support from the society their children are growing up in, then YOU are complicit in that child abuse.

For the record, I AM in favour of 50-50 child residency and I have said so numerous times on OLO. However, it is not the magic bullet that will stop – or even alleviate – child abuse. Without adequate support and respite for at-risk parents in the community, transferring more parenting time from mothers to fathers will simply transfer the risk from mothers to fathers - rather than alleviate the abuse itself.

Why are you and others putting up link after link after link on the subject of mothers being more responsible for emotional abuse and neglect of children than fathers?

Check back over the posts above. No one here is disputing the evidence. The disagreement is about how to deal with it. The men here are adamant it’s because the Family Law system is not giving fathers enough custody post divorce. Yet this is only one factor in the wider issue of child abuse – and an extremely male-centric one at that.

Correction:

I meant to say in the previous post: 'Why are you and others putting up link after link after link on the subject of mothers being more responsible for PHYSICAL AND emotional abuse and neglect of children than fathers?'

Physical abuse? Well Mums are more violent to kids than biological fathers, period. The national advertizing campaign about "family violence" "against women-and-thier-children" are conning us about who commits most of the family violence, at least the against children. See the results for physical abuse by 'parent female' vs 'parent male' in these governments abuse stats: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r85NZCM2Dk8/Skhne27OnMI/AAAAAAAAAH0/ELO0culYQMg/s1600-h/W.A.++2005-2006+%2B+2007-2008.JPG

As for the American data I provided above you will notice (if you read it) that it shows the number of child homicides carried out by bio mums and dads respectively. Merely a bit of trivia agreeing with a previous post about which parent commits most child homicides (ie MUMS).

I added the table up Inept, the men won.

The message was clear, all children, at birth, should go to Aboriginal kinship females.

The note at the bottom might have been important but I wouldn’t let it get in the way of the search for truth or anything.

The message that is clear is that more females than males have custody of children but in the end the males still manage to neglect them plus emotionally, physically, and sexually abuse them with their limited time.

Well done, please collect your prize from SJF on your way out.

Pied Piper those abuse perpetrator figures refer to single and married parents, most of whom would be married and not "custodial parents".

And married mums still seem to beat married dads in bashing children.

Here's a slogan: Married Mums bashing kids, Australians say No

TPP:"The message that is clear is that more females than males have custody of children but in the end the males still manage to neglect them plus emotionally, physically, and sexually abuse them with their limited time."

How on earth do you arrive at that? The data aren't complex and they don't show anything like that at all.

Do stop trying to take the p!ss Jewels.
