I’ve just read the judgment… the courts, both at first instance and on appeal, gave virtually no reasons beyond criticising the Cafcass officer for not doing her job and speculating that the child might prefer the surname. wtf?
The courts are forcing a 6 year old girl to keep the name of the man who raped her mother.

No survivor should face harm from the very system that is meant to protect them. No child should have to carry an abuser’s name.

It’s time to change the system 👇

If you're going to go for the judges also look at the CAFCASS eejits - the last one I had the displeasure of being in court with tried to see my client alone and browbeat her into withdrawing her allegations of bullying and abuse... :( There was definitely something wrong with these people.

Since mistreatment of women seems to be prominent and very relevant. Can anyone point me to a journalist that will have at look at my evidence please, from failings in Policing, Health & Cafcass, thanks

Research from Cafcass notes that parental alienation may stem from personality disorders like borderline or narcissistic personality disorder where a parent projects their feelings of inadequacy onto the other parent potentially leading to harmful behaviour such as isolating or terrorizing the child

✏️ Here’s what was special about last year’s winners:

'Jack & Paul, aged 12 and 9, hadn’t wanted to visit their father, Darren Sykes. He had previously hit both them & their mum. He’d made them eat until they were sick. Paul had explained all this to a worker at Cafcass (Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service).'
Why didn't they listen?
Their Mum, Claire, had divorced their dad 2 weeks earlier.

She has become a campaigner to prevent dangerous parents having unsafe access to their children.

And the government is acting: they will repeal the presumption of parental involvement from the Children Act 1989, protecting children.

2/2
Paul and Jack were murdered by their abusive father. Why had the family courts granted him contact?
Ten years ago, Claire Throssell’s sons were killed by their father, a man with a history of violence. She explains why she is fighting to ensure their voices are heard now – and to put an end to more ...

Yes because Cafcass listen to the voice of the child, instead of looking for signs of psychological control. The believed her when she said her mother was a threat and her father/step mother were not. The issue is family courts lack the right assessments, professionals & treatment plans.

Cafcass involved due to what his application for 50% custody, and their report thankfully was in my daughter's favour, and they're closing file. But waiting on result of hearing. Its honestly so stressful right now, daughter barely functioning. I don't want to put too much on here obviously

Correct me if I'm wrong. If the judge decided Sara should be with her father, it was following advice from Cafcass.

Living grief is the most horrific thing to result from unsafe recommendations from #cafcass and #familycourt

Don’t cut police staff to boost officer numbers, says UNISON

“Police staff are essential to keeping communities safe," said UNISON general secretary Christina McAnea as she warned against getting police officers to do the work of police staff at a greater cost to the taxpayer.

It’s only when you step into family court and experience direct dealings with CAFCASS that you truly understand how horrific both are.

I could never have imagined the harm they would cause, endorse, and turn a blind eye to.

Hello Dr Childress,

I have wrote few emails to my children who are now 19, and 20, those email has been stolen by Cafcass and mother not reached to the children.
And Cafcass assessed my emails as Extremely Concerning and Emotional Harm to my children. Should I forward those stolen email to you?
January 13, 2025 at 11:36 PM
As a victim of family court and cafcass, for 8 years, I cannot agree more with this. The trauma is extreme and it was for my son. We are trying to rebuild and recover. It was nothing short of horrific. The damage to my son’s development is immutable.
