Let’s be honest: this isn’t about protecting children. It’s about protecting perpetrators from public scrutiny. Abusers stay anonymous, protected by the court. The system protects the wrong people.

A family court judge — found to have failed to protect their adopted children from horrific abuse — has been granted anonymity by the High Court. This same judge made life-altering decisions about other families, often removing children and passing judgment on parents' morality

This is 100% true

Abusers don’t come with a warning label. They can be wealthy, respected, brilliant, and dangerous. I’ve seen them hide behind status, blame their victims, and manipulate the system. Abuse isn’t always visible, but it’s always about power. #FamilyLaw #CoerciveControl

"Abusers will create false narratives around you, your experiences and your character. They are doing this because in order to be honest about who you are, they would have to be honest about what they've done" - Nate Postlethwait

It doesn't make sense how often the survivor is pushed to forgive when the perpetrator is not pushed to apologize.

'no single body accountable for overall performance, nor a shared understanding of what good looks like from the perspective of families and children...that costs the taxpayer more than £1.8bn in 2023-24' #familycourt todaysfamilylawyer.co.uk/nao-gives-damn…

Sharing the advanced unedited version of the report of my visit to the #UK conducted in 2024: ohchr.org/en/documents/c… I will present the report to #HRC59 in June this year.

Thank you Reem Alsalem UNSR Violence Against Women and Girls #familycourt UNHumanRightsCouncil. Again the Special Rapporteur recommends that #parentalalienation frameworks be prohibited from use in FC, calls for abuse and trauma informed regulated experts in #familycourt & an end to the #presumptionofinvolvement for abusive parents

Telling a traumatized person they need to “let it go” is the same thing as trying to tell their body the trauma didn’t happen.

🧵 If you’ve not yet read the recent report from Reem Alsalem UNSR Violence Against Women and Girls , we highly encourage you to do so! It calls for important changes like repealing the presumption, banning the use of unregulated experts, and banning the use of the pseudoscientific ‘parental alienation’. Read more ⬇️

'A system that demands blind trust' indeed, but a system which has far from earned such trust and evidence shows consistently fails victim-survivor adults and children. #familycourt

Thank you M Compass Media and thank you Mary Louise of SiSi for this important report: 'coercive control and domestic abuse are rarely acknowledged by protective systems, and mothers seeking to protect their children can find themselves accused of alienation'

Thanks to all who have advocated for this important win that will stop victims being silenced. From October, it will be clarified in law that NDAs cannot stop victims from accessing justice and support. gov.uk/government/pub…

(1/3)🔍 A judge found to have caused significant harm to children is still practising. This is a systemic failure. A legal system that shields its own at the expense of survivors is not a system fit for purpose.

🧵 Where do protective mothers stand after family court? Where do their children stand? 6 years-8 years, how many years they have to suffer??? 1/ Family court proceedings are leaving mothers financially destroyed: ▪️ Thousands paid to solicitors and barristers ▪️ Therapy they
