The Cover Up

THERE IS A MASSIVE COVER UP OF SEXUAL ABUSE IN FAMILY COURTS
WHERE MOTHERS AND CHILDREN ARE METHODICALLY COERCED INTO SILENCE 
USING DEPRIVATION OF CUSTODY AS A WEAPON TO EXTORT COMPLIANCE.
Threats to Silence

THE FAMILY COURT COVER UP MAKES THE PENN STATE, CATHOLIC CHURCH, 
SCHOOL, FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT, AND FLDS SCANDALS PALE IN COMPARISON.

MILLIONS OF CHILDREN HAVE BEEN VICTIMIZED DUE TO 
THE FAMILY COURT COVER UP.

"It is not a matter of ignorance or incredulity.  
They know, and they systematically cover it up.  
And those who are covering it up know exactly who they are."

Dr. Amy Neustein
From Madness to Mutiny:  Why Mothers Are Running from Family Courts
The cover up is accomplished by a pattern that is used in virtually all sexual abuse cases:
1.  Child reports sexual abuse by father; mother attempts to protect child.
2.  A proper investigation is deliberately NOT done.  Judges ignore and cover up evidence and then say there is not enough evidence to protect the child.  The mother is deemed an alienator and loses custody.
3.  Officials deliberately silence the mother and child by giving custody to the abuser while severely restricting or eliminating visitation with the mother, and by issuing gag orders and sealing the record.  Psychologists are appointed to make sure the children stay silenced.

Note:  Although mothers and children are called liars, they are not disbelieved. Calling them liars is merely a tactic used to achieve the cover up. Court officials know the the children are being abused, just as Penn State officials knew Sandusky was abusing kids. It is simply not in their political or financial interest to protect children or hold an abuser accountable.

[For a more detailed account of the Pattern used to cover up the abuse, see:  Pattern]

The Cover Up---UnCovered

I.   The first step in Ending the COVER UP is to expose the problem and educate the public
II.  The second step is to hold all those accountable who participate in the COVER UP
III. The third step is to create a system that protects children, not rapists

I.  Expose and Educate
        A.  HOW DO COURT PROFESSIONALS ACCOMPLISH THE COVER UP?
              1.  POOR INVESTIGATION                      
                     A proper investigation is deliberately NOT conducted so that crucial evidence
                     will NOT be gathered.
                     What evidence exists is deliberately discounted and suppressed. 

                     Mothers are told they must meet 'their' burden of proof, but are not allowed to 
                     gather any evidence to do so.
                     This enables the finding of "insufficient evidence of abuse".  Although the 
                     burden is supposed to be low (preponderance), no matter how much evidence 
                     there is, there is NEVER ENOUGH to hold a father accountable and ruin his 
                     reputation.  Even when there is medical evidence, it is disregarded.
                      "Insufficient evidence" is then deliberately and fraudulently transmuted to:  
                      "no abuse" and mom and kids must "act like it didn't happen".                    
               2.  SHIFT BLAME TO MOM
                    The blame is shifted to Mom with the Parental Alienation tactic. Mom is 
                    portrayed as "mad or bad", i.e. either she is crazy or vindictive.  This takes the 
                    focus off the perpetrator and puts Mom on the defensive.  No credible evidence 
                    is required to find mom is vindictive or "alienating".  
                    Mom is the convenient scapegoat to enable the cover up.
             3.  DENIAL OF DUE PROCESS 
                      A pathetic adjudicative process ensues which is unfair and enables the finding 
                   that the abuser is innocent and mom is guilty of alienation, often referred to as 
                   a kangaroo court.  
                   Laws and Constitutional rights are violated with impunity.
             4.  SILENCE THE CHILDREN AND THEIR PROTECTORS WITH THREATS 

                  They are told if they do not accept the abuse did not happen or at least stay quiet
                  and agree to unsupervised visitation or joint custody, they will not see each other
                  again.  The children are isolated from their mother through supervised visitation 
                  so they cannot get help.   [Threats to Silence]   
                  They are sent to complicit insider psychologists who make sure they do not talk 
                  about the abuse and who report to the court if they do.  [Damon's List]

                  They are gag ordered to not talk about the case to the media.
                  They are put in contempt of court and jailed.  
                  They are made to fear judicial retaliation.
              5.  COVER UP IS COMPLETE
                     Neither the mother nor the children nor anyone else who cares about protecting 

                  the children dares speak of the abuse again.  

                   What happened to Freud over 100 years ago helps illustrate how the ole boys 
                   have used intimidation and threats to cover up sexual abuse for ages, and not 
                   just on mothers and children, but on esteemed colleagues like FREUD.

     B.  WHY DO JUDGES, ATTORNEYS, PSYCHOLOGISTS, et. al., COVER UP ABUSE?
             1.  ABUSERS HAVE THE POWER THROUGH CONNECTIONS
                  
                The Status Quo/Old Boys support Father Entitlelment over Child Protection, i.e., fathers' right to rape their children if they so choose.  When you go along with the Old Boys, you get rewarded and climb the ladder faster.  There are many people in power who sell children out to increase their own power, position and wealth. (How can they sleep at night knowing children are being raped while they profit from it? There is a special place in hell reserved for them...Damon's List)
                  Accused fathers immediately hire a father's rights attorney who is connected with all the players who cover up abuse. 
               There may be bribes, campaign contributions or just back stroking.  But the cases are rigged from the start, partially because the abuser's get connected with the "right" people and partially because of the entrenched bias against women and children.  Even the mom's attorney actively or passively enables the cover up because they know they won't win future cases if they don't.                   
           2.  ABUSERS HAVE THE POWER THROUGH MONEY 
              The "Abusers' Lobby" ( a well organized but covert group which is largely made up of child molesters) is heavily influencing the court system with their political influence, money and power. They use Fathers' Rights groups to divert hundreds of millions of dollars Federal Fatherhood Initiative Funds and as a platform to exercise their control over the courts, pushing bogus syndromes like "parental alienation" and mandatory joint custody to help them gain custody and control of their victims. The courts also fleece the accounts of both parents which can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Bottom Line:  Court officials entrusted to protect children are instead selling them out to abusers.
          It's a type of Kids for Cash scheme, like child trafficking---the exploitation of children for profit and power.
             3.  ABUSERS HAVE THE POWER THROUGH HISTORICALLY LICENSED MALE 
                     ENTITLEMENT
                    Fathers have always had the right to rape their children if they wanted, ever since patriarchy began---which is still being upheld by the court system, because it is still run by old boys.                    
                 "[In courtrooms] the rule of the father is replicated with frightening precision."   Dr. Caroline Taylor, Court Licensed Abuse
                  Until the 70's, male entitlement was exercised through children being blamed for the abuse using Freud's bogus theories that they fantasized, lied or desired the sex.  When that was debunked, the abusers and their enablers resorted to shifting the blame to mothers using parental alienation. Middle and upper class fathers have never been held accountable for molesting their children (or disadvantaged children--think Second Mile Foundation).
We need to replace the status quo with a system that prioritizes child safety over male entitlement.
    
       C. The Media needs to cover this story to educate the public about how and why this is happening and so the public will be outraged and put pressure on judges to stop giving kids to abusers and rapists. 
     
II.  Hold Accountable All Those Who Participate in the COVER UP
         A.  NAME and SHAME 
                1.  Identify all people who participate in the COVER UP.   [See Damon's List]  
              2.  Use the media and protests to let the public know Family Court officials are enabling predatory fathers. 
        B.  MAKE ETHICAL COMPLAINTS TO THE PROFESSIONAL BOARDS OF THOSE WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE COVER UP.
        C.  LET ELECTED OFFICIALS KNOW WHO IS PARTICIPATING IN THE COVER UP.
          D.  LET FRIENDS, FAMILY, EMPLOYEES, COLLEAGUES, ET. AL. KNOW ABOUT THEIR COMPLICITY IN FEEDING CHILDREN TO THEIR MOLESTERS, SO AS TO SHAME THEM.

III.  Create a system that protects children, not abusers.
        A.  PROPER INVESTIGATIONS USING VALID PROTOCOLS
        B.  PROPER ADJUDICATION AND DUE PROCESS
        C.  ENABLE PROTECTIVE PARENTS TO REMOVE COURT OFFICIALS WHO DON'T 

              PRIORITIZE CHILD SAFETY 
        D.  HOLD ABUSERS ACCOUNTABLE AND PUNISH THEM WITH LOSS OF CUSTODY

What happened to Freud over 100 years ago helps illustrate the COVER UP
.

When Freud's research led him to the finding that hysteria (now known as conversion disorder) 
was due to the trauma of women having been sexually abused by fathers, 
he was ostracized, intimidated and threatened 
with loss of status and income unless he recanted.  
After a couple of years, he caved to the pressure and made a 180. 
He conveniently shifted the blame from fathers molesting children to 

the children having fantasized, lied, or desired the sex. 

He created bogus theories to facilitate the cover up--infantile sexuality, penis envy, the Oedipal complex and other unscientific garbage. 
This pleased his colleagues immensely, so Freud was rewarded 

with great power and fame.  
Freud's colleague, Pierre Janet, never caved to the status quo.  

His works were, although more scientifically valid, 
not-so-coincidentally ignored and forgotten.  
One student of Freud's, Sandor Ferenczi, did not cave either, and he paid dearly 

for standing up for the victims.
The Assault on Truth:  Freud's Suppression of the Seduction Theory

Incredibly, the reason everyone knows Freud's name today is precisely because he contributed so much to the COVER UP of sexual abuse.  
Freud's fame was his reward by the old boys for helping them keep 

their entitlement and their dirty little secret.

And so, fathers continued to get away with sexually abusing their children unhampered by the truth for another hundred years---
until brave new researchers like Dr. Judith Herman and Dr. Lisa Hirschman discovered the truth 
and refused to participate in the COVER UP, 
in spite of the inevitable intimidation and threats by the old boys.  
They are children's true heroes.
Trauma and Recovery

It is now known that Freud was right the first time: 
sexual abuse by fathers is very common and leads to many mental disorders, including conversion disorder and PTSD.
But, incredibly, more than 100 years later, with solid research to support the truth,
psychiatric and legal professionals are still using junk science to shift the blame from the fathers, 
but now it is mothers rather than children who are blamed 
via new junk science:  the Parental Alienation Theory.

The Parental Alienation Theory, created by pedophile Dr. Richard Gardner posits that mothers coach their children to report abuse out of vindictiveness. 

These mothers are therefore a danger to their children and should lose custody to the father.
That is what is being used in Damon's case and most other sexual abuse cases in family courts.
It does not matter that there is no credible evidence that the child's report of abuse is due to alienation and there is a lot of evidence of abuse, judges will use it anyway to enable the COVER UP.
Dr. Gardner has not gained status like Freud for his creation of junk science to facilitate the COVER UP (although he did get rich off of it).  
In fact, he violently killed himself after many children sued him 

for taking their moms away, enabling their abusers to get custody and ruining their lives.  
Too bad more psychologists getting rich off of this bogus theory don't do the same thing.
