Just Stop Abuse

Fighting for urgent UK family court reform and an end to domestic abuse.

[Just Stop Abuse @Just_Stop_Abuse]

The only good thing about the #FamilyCourtScandal is that it's incredibly simple to understand - #DomesticAbuse victims and their children are being forced back into the hands of violent abusers. That's it. It's that straightforward. #FamilyCourt is literally destroying lives.

[Lady Ragnell @seige_of]

This came out yesterday and there is still no word from @MoJGovUK @CommonsJustice nor @DavidLammy on miscarriages of justice for wrongly diagnosed mothers who had their children removed after receiving completely fake dangerous personality disorder diagnosis by Melanie Gill. Justice must prevail for the children ripped away from their mothers for absolutely no reasons whatsoever other than the fathers were alleged to have caused them and the children serious harm and abuse. @MyCafcass must step up and speak out against Gill and her damage to children. And @metpoliceuk must work with @CPSUK to bring criminal charges for numerous acts of fraud and deception as a matter of urgent ‼️ What Gill has done to hundreds of lives is torture, abuse, pain and suffering- for her own obsessive gain to pander to patriachy and erase any domestic abuse from men to the mothers of their children. She’s on a mission- she thought she’d get away with it, she won’t. The victims and the children demand Justice. #MelanieGillFraud

NEW: A mother has won a landmark legal bid to overturn the evidence of a psychologist which led to her kids being removed. For the last 5yrs she has only seen them twice a month under strict supervision based on Melanie Gill's advice to a family judge. 🧵 https://t.co/UigKce8VVB

[Hannah Summers @hansummers]

This ruling is a watershed moment that could prompt legal challenges from other parents who have been assessed by Melanie Gill. But she is far from the only expert 'diagnosing' alienation in the family courts. And I'm hearing every day that this is still happening.

[The Domestic Abuse Solicitor ⚖️ @theDAsolicitor]

Tearing a child from their mother under the guise of “parental alienation” is one of the cruellest injustices. A pseudoscientific label should never be used to erase the primary bond of care, safety and love - especially in the name of justice.

[Dr Emma Katz @DrEmmaKatz]

Horrifying and deeply concerning.

Major risks around coercive control in the assisted dying bill.

[David Challen @David_Challen]

Max Roberts tried to strangle a woman, told her he’d “kill everything she loves,” and killed her pet hamster. After leaving, he messaged her saying he would “be back to finish her off.”

He got just three years.

This sentence is a disgrace.

This is a truly horrific case and it’s unthinkable that there’s even discussion of release. Tina has a life sentence, her life was devastated, and that was the intent. There’s a link to the petition in next message.

(1/3) Today we had a powerful discussion on ending the presumption of contact made one thing crystal clear: we need change, and we need it now.

[Resolute: Zero Tolerance For Domestic Abuse @ResoluteSupport]

The numbers are DEVASTATING: 33% of suicides in Kent & Medway are linked to domestic abuse. That could be 1,800 lives across the UK each year. Researcher Tim Woodhouse discusses this hidden crisis on the Resolute podcast at https://t.co/IHlMDeFdlz #DomesticAbuse

Thank you @theDAsolicitor @SheraFamily @R_Kaiser_Author @BeeversVic66155 and many for for all your support! It's been a tough couple of weeks! But we did it!

I don’t often talk about my neurodivergence here—because, honestly, it’s so ingrained in who I am that even I don’t always recognise when it’s a barrier.

But the biggest “issue” I’ve encountered? My facts-based, blunt approach.

And let me tell you—family court and CAFCASS do not like that. They don’t like facts. They don’t like evidence. They don’t like clear, to-the-point statements.

And yet, their entire remit is supposedly based on facts and evidence.

What broke me wasn’t just the injustice—it was the betrayal. The realisation that the organisations that should operate the way I do—factually, logically, based on actual evidence—don’t. That realisation shook me to my core.

I’m not charming. I don’t sugarcoat. But that does not make me an unfit parent.

I didn’t tell them the nice, fluffy things they want to hear. So they punished me in the most brutal, soul-destroying way possible.

It’s one thing to have a problem with double standards, I think most people do. But for me—as someone who follows the rules, who thrives on logic and evidence—the way family court and CAFCASS failed in their duty to safeguard destroyed me.

This is why family court is not safe for neurodivergent individuals—especially those who are victims of domestic abuse. It is built for charmers, manipulators, and those who play the game. It is not built for those of us who tell the truth, plainly and without pretense.

And that should terrify everyone.

I’m trying not to hyperventilate.

Witnesses in Crown courts have to swear to tell the truth. However this oath doesn’t seem to extend to the barristers.

The defence barrister in my daughter’s rape trial accused her of breaking up her marriage (16 years together) by having an affair.

He knew it wasn’t true, the prosecuting barrister knew it wasn’t true and yet it was left hanging in the air as a statement of fact. The jury were fed yet another untruth but they weren’t to know that.

I know the only way I’m going to survive reading the transcript is by being dispassionate and yet here I am floored already and I’ve only just started. 💔

Just dropped: the @LawDisorderShow podcast with @hansummers and I talking with Sir Nicholas Mostyn, Dame Helena Kennedy and Lord Falconer about our Court of Appeal challenge to the anonymisation of judges in the historic Sara Sharif family cases https://t.co/Jq9rgYieIg

“What we’re getting is this cohort of judges who are coming in who haven’t got a bloody clue and who don’t understand parental alienation....Those female judges … completely and utterly biased. What they’re all concentrating on is domestic violence..." https://t.co/T3GD4Ubur5

The unregulated 'experts' would have made no inroads without Family Court Judges and other regulated legal industry professionals, and Charities like NYAS being complicit in pushing Parental Alienation pseudoscience and unregulated 'experts'. What other secrets does the FC hide?
