Wow eyeinthesky! Keep the Rage man! Such a riveting story of envy, spite, judgement and revenge. Whoo I feel great about my life. Actually that's why I mostly read all this gender stuff. Ensures I appreciate my missus, which I probably would anyway.

I reckon you should have a listen of The Offspring's 'Self Esteem'.

The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care!

So CJM where is this conspiracy, with 750,000 separated fathers(CSA facts and figures) and at least half of them having sympathetic partners we have 16 new members.

There is no excuse for harming a child SJF, stop making excuses for either gender, the time factor doesn’t make either gender better. In fact I believe there are data errors between collected and the FOI information given to mensrights.com.au. The 37% figure allocated to parents in fact relates to all family members, which would include siblings, parents and step parents. Another thing missing is the % each part represents of the overall, emotional abuse may be 70% of the total and sexual abuse might be 3%, no way of knowing without the original data. Twisted figures are only as reliable as how you interpret them or are presented them.

One important piece of data missing is the punishment dished out to offender, does it suit the crime?

Pied Piper "Who was responsible for the 923 other cases of abuse? Who is really hurting kids in WA because according to that it wasn’t mum or dad"

Well actually it was spread out between related and unrelated children, carers and in some cases "DCP staff".

Piper, I spent four of the six weeks leading up to fathers day with my mum, almost every hour I wasn’t working, farewelling my father and other family matters. My mum called me to wish me a happy father’s day, the first in 40+ years without a father.

Here is the raw data again for those who missed them.

I think it needs Windows Media Player.

PaulG,
Listened to that & it is not really that surprising in todays society.
A little point that may give rise to something else in society today
with the Neglect, Psychological & Emotional Abuse & Physical Abuse largely committed by the females is this one of the reasons that boys are growing to men & is this abuse that they are suffering as children then giving rise to the disrespect of females and the virtual acceptence that men are committing more domestic violence against women?
Childhood trauma has in many cases has manifestations ofitself in adulthood & mainly in relationships.
It raises a major question for DV & goes toward suppling some answers if you ask me.
Anyway a good post All have a good life from Dave

Eye:”A few years ago one of them went back to WA to visit her people. What she saw thoroughly disgusted her. She saw her own people drunk all the time, the men beating their women, the women having sex with almost anyone and both parents abusing their kids. As she put it, she was sure glad they stole her.”

YOU BIG FAT LIAR! I saw the WA child abuse stats you boys posted!

http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=9402&page=0#150601

You hailed in these stats like you’d found the Holy Grail. If stats could bend over you would have seen the sun beaming. You treasured those stats, you applauded them and reveled in them, these stats were presented like a proud father with his newborn son. How dare you suggest those stats were in any way flawed by letting a real human story corrupt such a concise and damning document?

Your stats said it all; Aboriginals were voted the least likely to abuse children and it would only be the sheila’s beating the children in WA and the blokes having sex with anyone under 4 feet tall.

I HOPE YOUR BIG BOY TROUSERS ARE ON FIRE!

Excuse me there Suzy, I know the practice is that allegedly abused kids are removed and it is something I agree with. But where they are removed to can lead to a whole new set of abuses that little is heard about in this country.

Exam, you confused the bajesus out of me there until I realized who the Jeremy was that you were talking to, now I’m wondering where he worked with child abuse or where his opinion came from.

Jeremy you’re not a mate of Warwick’s are you?

Cheers Missma, I’m all for mums to get help to stay home. Dads too, in fact I think everyone should stay at home.

Sssshhhh Runner, Jesus is watching you
