Guilty Until ProvenInnocent premiered at the Avalon Theater in Washington D.C.
There was a police officer whose future
career is uncertain because he can no longer carry a sidearm due to a serial
accusers false allegations of abuse. Then came a grandmother and sister who
have been denied any relationship with, and access to, the children of their
son and brother after he could no longer withstand the pressure of family court
and ended his life.
One fellow traveled over 500 miles to
attend the opening of the film and another guy who had just spent 10 days in
jail for non-payment of $250 in child support for a daughter who lives with him
also attended. Pastors, professors and social workers who share an interest in
the topic attended. For 50 minutes people were riveted as they saw five fathers
talk bluntly about the devastating impact family court had on their lives and
relationships with their children.
Washington Post columnist Janice D’Arcy
wrote this article about the film. We made no pretense of telling this family
court story from any perspective other than that of fathers. The fact that 84%
of children who are not living with both their parents live without their dads
says plenty about where the problem lies. We agree with D'Arcy and hope GUPI is
the first step on reforming family courts. Read the article and leave your polite
opinion and suggestions for improving family law.

The Violence Against Women Act Ignores Half the Problem ~ By Anna Rittgers
ReplyDeleteThe 2011 Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act (VAWA) provides funding for programs to address domestic violence and will expand the act’s provisions to include services for gays and lesbians. Theoretically, male victims of violence are eligible for help, too. But did you know that? I thought not.
The problem with reauthorizing VAWA is that doing so would perpetuate the notion that domestic violence is something that happens only to women. While it is true that VAWA has evolved over time and now ensures that male victims of partner violence can avail themselves of VAWA benefits and services, the very name of the act implies otherwise. It is quite likely that a male victim would not know he can seek help, given the name of the act.
The image of the abuser is almost always a guy. But this simply isn’t the case. One of the pioneers of the study of family violence was sociologist Richard J. Gelles. Gelles wrote a seminal 1999 article for the old Women’s Quarterly, then a publication of the Independent Women’s Forum, on the “hidden victims” of violence.[i] Gelles admitted that 25 years earlier he had overlooked something important when, in the course of doing research, he meet a couple he called Faith and Alan. Faith had been beaten by boyfriends, her ex-husband, and her husband. Faith’s troubles became the focus of Gelles’s article. Gelles barely noted Faith’s violence towards men, which included breaking Alan’s bones and stabbing a man while he read the newspaper. Faith’s violence merited a mere footnote.
We know more about intimate violence directed at men than we did when Gelles wrote his article. But for cultural reasons, it is very difficult for male victims of domestic violence to seek help. Men are seen to be physically stronger than women, and so he should be able to just “take it.” Furthermore, domestic violence awareness campaigns are horribly one-sided, and almost always portray males as the aggressor and females as victim. Police are often hardwired to view men as the perpetrator. If a man calls 911 for help when he’s being attacked by his spouse or partner, he is often subject to arrest, even if he is the only one with physical injuries.
For seventeen years, there has been unequal treatment before the law. Female aggressors are keenly aware of this unequal justice, and a 2010 study on men who sustain abuse at the hands of their female partners discovered that 67.2% reported their female aggressors made false allegations of spousal abuse. [ii] Of those with children, 48.9% of the men reported that their partners made false allegations of child abuse.[iii] In other words, VAWA’s myopic view of who perpetrates domestic violence gives female abusers an additional avenue to torment their spouses.
The name of the Act itself makes it clear that the law’s focus is to address violence against women in particular, not the general problem of domestic violence. The specialized training that judges and law enforcement officers receive ignores the reality that women are as likely as men to be perpetrators of violence. This creates a justice system that treats male aggressors more harshly than female aggressors of the same crime.

The court also cited Rule 8(f) FRCP, which holds that all pleadings shall be construed to do substantial justice.
