Five years and five Christmas Days … I am always campaigning to raise awareness on contact denial and the secrecy of family courts.
And over the years I have trudged city to city on Christmas Days delivering reports and DVDs…I have walked and climbed mountains and i have stood defiantly outside the family courts.
This year though I will visit seven family courts.
Yet, I know that if we could put just one person outside each family court it would have a massive impact throughout social media. And, maybe, traditional media.
The new campaign is called ‘Kids Free Christmas – Not by Choice’.
We are aware of course social gathering under pandemic rules and we are not expecting anyone to break the rules.
But if we can get to as many courts as possible this Christmas Day it will certainly show the world.
A sheet, a piece of cardboard – anything you can write the words on. That’s all you need!
‘Kids Free Christmas – Not by Choice’ and a selfie sent to us at DAD’s so we can make the 2020 Kids Free Christmas – Not by Choice in to a short movie.
Awareness is the key and education is desperately needed help us show the way ahead.
If you can get to the family court in your area please join us. Stand up for your children stand up for everyone’s children. Turn against being used as the weapons behind secret family court doors is child abuse.
We are aware the world is in crisis – but equally we are aware the family courts are in crisis too.
The pandemic has forced changes and actually forced changes behind secret family court doors. Some hearings have changed dramatically.
Sadly, the system hasn’t.
The aligned parents force the targeted parents to seek the help of the family courts to sustain a relationship with their children.
The ex is dragged through the family court wringer. Targeted parents are forced to enter family courts.
And they are ‘dirtied’ (made to look all bad)
They are rinsed (money, fees etc)
They are squeezed (mentally and emotionally)
The abusive family court system should come with a public health warning.
There is a definite risk of serious mental health – and even of death.
My Christmas Day journey will start at Reading family court, followed by Chippenham , Gloucester, Newport, Cardiff, Port Talbot and finally Swansea,
The heart of Hope family tree
The family fight the cross we bear
Will both be there with me.
There is no designated time allowing parents to make in their own time.
Let’s do this!
Let’s show the world for all children for all parents grandparents and family members
The non-accidental psychological injury of children destroys them, destroys family destroys heritage and the huge void left in these children lasts a lifetime/ The mental abuse these children go through lasts a lifetime.
This Christmas Day when the judges and the agency workers, your exes and their families, are sitting down enjoying family time with their mince pies and cream, join us at the court in your area, anytime, however long.
All we ask is a selfie. This child abuse has to stop to save the children from a lifetime of Sadness sorrow pain and mental health.
These are trying times so please remember to stay safe.
Post selfie or court photo with plaque or banner on dads
Lets do this
