It’s labeled this way so that family court actors can continue to ‘control, monitor and litigate,’ to the tune of tens/hundreds of thousands, instead of simply prosecuting and holding accountable. It’s a multi-billion dollar industry. #CourtToo

“High-Conflict”? Who defined that term for the courts anyway? High-conflict within a family is typically one person wreaking chaos and cruelty upon the others. That’s not a personality that can be reasoned with. It’s someone who manipulates, deceives and needs to win at all costs. Therapeutic jurisprudence? Is that what this is about? How about good old-fashioned common-sense? Apply the law to the crimes and hold perps accountable.

Because $17k a month wasn’t enough . . . This juvenile judge was charged with bribery and other crimes. (How common is this??) #CourtToo

It’s going to kick off. Too much corruption, child trafficking, entrapment & financial abuse taking place on the state level from within the court. #CourtToo #FamilyCourtCrisis

Ahh yes, the question of the hour: HOW CAN A STATE HAVE MANDATORY REPORTING LAWS, when it comes to suspected child abuse, and then condone or allow courts to remove children from mothers adhering to those very reporting laws? #CourtToo #CPIT

There is increasing evidence across jurisdictions that raising allegations of child sexual abuse in private law children proceedings exposes mothers to the risk of child removal. Yet in public law, mothers risk child removal if they DON'T prevent contact between children and fathers who are proven or suspected child sex abusers. It's time to unpick these oppositional expectations on mothers, and turn to the literature on the ideology of the public/private divide that lies at the heart of the liberal state. The private sphere is constructed around images of safe, respectable, middle-class masculinities, to which lone motherhood has been perceived as a threat since the 1970s (see the work of, eg, Richard Collier, Carol Smart, the enlightening chapters in Carling, Duncan and Edwards). The public sphere is constructed by and through 'othered' images of feral, working class, irresponsible families who, by failing to aspire to dominant familial norms, have forfeited the veil of privacy, with both spheres underpinned by images of self-sacrificial motherhood. These images have a powerful normative effect in family court proceedings. In private law, they justify the demonisation of mothers and increasingly coercive measures to reinstate the nuclear family across households. As Diduck and Kaganas observed: "The ‘good’ post-separation family needs a ‘good’ post-separation mother to sustain it…When mothers refuse to take on this additional task, they become identified as bad or vindictive mothers.” In public law, 19th century discourses of child-saving render mothers liable to punitive measures for 'failing to protect' their children from the "threat of the undomesticated male" (Collier). We need a system that responds to the 'real' families who come to law, who are far more complex and 'human' than the powerful images that structure legal and political responses. We need to acknowledge the real violence that is perpetrated on women and children by enforcing ideological norms through child removal, and to deconstruct the ideological barrier that renders child sexual abuse a scandal in the public sphere but invisible in the private sphere. @Right2Equality @ParamilyUK @SheraFamily

Care about children? Their safety? Tired of hearing about sexual abuse? This article details one of the reasons it’s an epidemic in our society—abusers aren’t held accountable, even when a plethora of evidence regarding their abuse is presented. #CourtToo #FamilyCourtReform

“Two siblings in UT have barricaded themselves in a bedroom at their mother’s home in defiance of a FC judge’s order to return to the custody of their father, despite state child welfare investigators determining that he had sexually abused the children.” https://t.co/BsP42dzsyv

@neilschori Yes, and you would think family courts would understand this, but they don't. I minister to several women who have been turned down for new protective orders because they went back to their abuser at some point after an earlier protective order. #CourtToo
