By Jeremy Sammut, published 18/9/2009

Rising numbers of children in Australia are being left in situations which expose them to cumulative harm, neglect and severe abuse.

Vanna,

What proportion of time spent looking after children in a one-parent context is provided by mothers, rather than fathers ? 80 % ? 90%? So is '68 per cent of cases of emotional and psychological abuse [and] ... about 53 per cent of physical abuse and more than 94 per cent of neglect cases' disproportionate ?

Are you suggesting that fathers (or some other configuration of carers) are responsible for the other 32 % 'of cases of emotional and psychological abuse' and 47 % of physical abuse ? Do single fathers have 47 % or 32 % of the care of such children, or a lot less ?

Joe

So far as child abuse is concerned, most child abuse is "neglect", with child sexual abuse quite minor.

So far as child neglect is concerned, the majority occurs in single parent households with the mother as the single parent.

So far as child sexual abuse is concerned, most cases of child sexual abuse occur in a household with a non-biological parent in the household(ie. step-parent, mummy's new boyfriend etc).

So far as the best parenting is concerned, 2 biological parents are best. That is the type of parenting that has stood the test of time, despite feminist attempts to destroy the family, destroy marriage and have ad-hoc relationships instead.

To All,
We Speak Emotion
Quote John Bowlby, Attachment and Loss, page 105, 1 Volume:-
"Amongst features of the view advocated is that,although affects, feelings,and emotions are commonly treated as though they were discrete entities,it is quite inappropriate so to treat them.To speak of'an affect','a feeling',or 'an emotion',as though it were an atom or an orange,is as inadmissible as it would be to speak of 'a redness'or'a squareness'.Instead, feeling is regarded as a property that certain processes connected with behaviour from time to time come to possess. Any phrase that reifies feelings or emotions is, therefore, held inadmissable.
Before our thesisis developed further,it is well to clarify terminology. Traditionally,'affect'has been used to denote a wide range of feeling experience--feelings pleasurable,distressed,and sad as well as loving,fearful, and angry. In addition,the word'feeling' itself is often used in this broard way. 'Emotion', on the other hand,is always used more restrictively: as a rule it is confined to feelings or affects such as loving,hating,being frightened or hungry,that are inherently connected with one or another form of action". cont.

To All. cont.
"In what follows the word 'feeling'is usedalways as a general purpose term. It is preferred to both 'affect' and 'emotion' because it is the only one of the three words to derive from a verb(to feel) having exactly the same meaning as itself. the word 'affect' is used only in the discussion of traditional theories; the word 'emotion'is usedin the restricted sense referred to above.
Let us start by considering briefly some of the philisophical problems that beset us when we move from the purely behavioural account of instinctive behaviour so far adopted to an account that attempts to include also awareness of feeling'.
John Bowlby, Atachment and Loss can be found by just placing John Bowlby, Attachment and Loss on the search of the computer.
We read this we just might see the roles connected to the raising of children and where all of society is failing .
Thanks All have a great life from Dave

“So far as child abuse is concerned, most child abuse is "neglect", with child sexual abuse quite minor.”

What stats are you running with? Which numbers have forced their way in to your tiny little mind and ejaculated in to your being?

“So far as child neglect is concerned, the majority occurs in single parent households with the mother as the single parent.”

Ah the lazy bitches. The ones the men were trapped in to copulating with and usually hang around long enough to produce a litter.

“So far as child sexual abuse is concerned, most cases of child sexual abuse occur in a household with a non-biological parent in the household(ie. step-parent, mummy's new boyfriend etc).”

Hmm... mummy’s boyfriend, not male, will never be a father, some alien species that biological daddy’s don’t acknowledge as one of their own gender. Fascinating this division in masculine society – fathers, males, mummy’s new boyfriend.

“So far as the best parenting is concerned, 2 biological parents are best. That is the type of parenting that has stood the test of time, despite feminist attempts to destroy the family, destroy marriage and have ad-hoc relationships instead.”

Yes females are known to be the ones in society that have all the affairs. As little girls they all dream that one day they will grow up and meet a man so they can have children and then kick him out so they can get a new boyfriend to come and molest the first mans children because they are all lazy bitches that do nothing but sit around neglecting their children hoping to pop out another sprog for yet another man to defile.

You caught them Vanna, good on ya dude. The feminist plot all along was to rid society of virgins at the earliest possible moment.

Lol Pied Piper!
You have such a way with words, and with so much truth too.

I too have wondered about all these dreadful child-bashing, multi-partnered slut feminists, and feminazi court personel, out there intent on destroying all those wonderful fatherly men who must surely feel humble in their own presence!

However, I could never put it all as succinctly as you...thanks for placing a smile on my dial!

Cheers, Sue.
