The Heart of Hope Family Tree is growing stronger roots despite the coronavirus crisis.

Andrew John Teague, from D.A.D.s and NAAP, is pushing on with the tree campaign. He said: “The virus is hitting a lot of events and many people have been left disappointed – however, the heart of hope event will survive one way or the other.

“The idea is one heart for each child – there’s no cost and we can give you the heart colour you choose.

“I only put children’s first name and the tree and there are seven different colour hearts and five different colour ribbons. I don’t put any siblings names together to avoid any controversy. No two children from the same family are together – but they are all on the tree and they all share the same problem, absent or controlling parents.

And the questions any parent wants to ask I will write on a huge banner and when this virus crisis is over, I’ll go to London with the questions and take the hearts with me.”

April 25 was to be Parental Alienation Awareness Day in the UK, USA, Canada and Bermuda and many other parts of the world.

This awareness day was part of the global campaign over parental alienation.

The campaign says – and the Preservation Society wholeheartedly agrees – parental alienation needs to be a recognised form of child abuse and psychiatric harm punishable within the criminal justice system.

‘Both children and parents have a right to private and family life, so why should one party be enabled to interfere with those rights?’

But due to the absence of a real definition PA has been characterised by CAFCASS as: ‘Constantly badmouthing or belittling the other parent; limiting contact; forbidding discussion about children; creating the impression that the other parent dislikes or does not love the child’.

Andrew put it this way: “One of the most important things that needs to be addressed is the children’s emotional and psychological health and well-being.
“Of course, everyone looks at safeguarding children from different forms of harm.
“Forms of harm like physical, sexual and neglect.
“More often than not the emotional and psychological impact on the children is due to controlling parents and family courts.
“Children don’t simply throw away a parent, grandparent or whole half of a family. This is systematically and strategically done by bad parents (grandparents new partners) and family courts.

“Children who went through it a decade ago are now knocking on the mental health door (suicidal self harming alcohol and drug abuse failing in the simplest tasks criminal and sex exploited and more).

“And so the patterns continue – and just like today’s children, tomorrow others will be knocking on the mental health door. That means more young people run the risk of suicide.
“Children every year being dragged through the family courts and getting their future mental health shot to pieces. They are poisoned, not simply just by a bad parents, but in a big way by the whole family court process.
“Cafcass will do in 15/20 minutes what a well-trained child psychologist would take weeks to do.
“What makes Cafcass so amazingly special? I will tell you – being left to their own devices, to do what they want and answer to no one. Accountability zero!

“What special training do Cafcass undertake? I shall tell you none! Here we have untrained used-up social workers, the failures of the rat race, playing god with children’s lives.
“Many many parents are thrown to the side directly because of Cafcass and social workers, because it’s easier to target the targeted parent and protect the abuser.

“A good start would be to disband Cafcass and completely remove them from the family courts certainly keep them well away from children.
“Kids – everyone talks kids but really how many actually give a toss about the kids?
“Kids are for life to enjoy being kids not pushed to the bitterest of ends sadly very sadly too many times this happens
“Children need us everyday to save them from the tomorrows.”

The sun is shining, the ocean is full, the cliffs are white-washed and the beach glistens with diamonds … and there is a glimmer of light around the tyrannical edges of lock-down. So let’s see what there is beside the sea if you have a couple of million to spend on a new home!

As a recipient of abuse caused by the actions of an alienating former spouse, we understand what the term “victim” truly is.

One day, we were normal and happy and secure in our lives and suddenly, we find ourselves embroiled in a battle to enjoy the comfort and love of our children.

Certainly, this is not something we ever imagined would enter our lives, but it did and not without severe consequences.

Suddenly and without warning, we find ourselves in a constant state of fear, heartache and depression as the looming battle draws ever closer to us.

There would be days and nights when we would feel mentally and emotionally incapacitated and wanted nothing more than to rest.

However, this was not possible because of the vicious attacks that were mounted against us by the one person we thought we could trust.

We could not.

Instead, we were betrayed.

https://leighgbankspreservationsociety.blog/how-to-spot-those-lying-cheating-narcissists-who-walk-amongst-us/

It was not our fault that we chose to seek happiness with someone who could never give us the love and loyalty we sought. These people disguise themselves with such cleverness and deceive all in their path.

Not only did they portray themselves in a normal and trustworthy fashion to us, they did the same to others including, their friends, their attorneys, the family court judges and most significantly, our children.

They betrayed us all through their lies and manipulation and they were believed by all.

We know the truth because, we are living the nightmare each and every day. We are the ones who are forced to endure the pain and suffering they inject into our lives and many times, powerless to stop them.

Even, our closest family members and friends stand in wonderment as they see us go through the process of alienation and ponder if we are not the guilty ones.

Many times, we are not. We did not choose to stop seeing our children. We did not choose to stop attending their school functions nor, did we choose to stop being in their lives.

These are things that the alienating parent caused.

Make no mistake, you and your children are the victims in this madness of parental alienation. Do not allow the voices or opinions of others who do not know the facts to convince you otherwise. Unless, you were mentally, emotionally, physically abusive to your former spouse or child in the most extreme ways, you are not at fault and did not did not deserve to lose your children!

This is why we must fight back with every fibre of our being. You can never throw up the white flag of surrender and must continue to do all that is necessary to be in your children’s lives again. Sometimes, you will have victory earlier than others. Then again, it may take more time than you ever expected or thought you could endure, but you will.

When the day comes and all your efforts are finally realized in fruition, you will no longer be the victim.

However, this is when your former spouse and their enablers will suddenly cry foul. They will say you caused all the problems they now suffer and will place blame upon your shoulders.

Do not be swayed into a false sense of remorse for what you knew had to be done in the effort to be in your child’s life again.

The alienator felt no pity for you. In fact, they many times took great pleasure in seeing you consumed with emotional pain and suffering. When the day arrives and the tables are turned, show compassion for the sake of your child, but do not feel sorry for them.

Your alienator put themselves into this position because, of their incessant need of revenge. Do not listen to the voice of your former spouse as, they scream into your ears and say, it is your fault and they are the victim. This is nothing more than the act of self-victimization.

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week, an attempt to get the nation talking about kindness and mental health.

A young woman who has been to hell and back sent this from her hospital ward … she wrote it 17 days before her 21st birthday and it is a true story of success giving hope to millions of others who suffer with mental health problems

For so many years I severely struggled with mental illness and the way I feel and look at myself as an individual compared to everyone else.

I never once thought I would be able to genuinely enjoy life, and be happy and satisfied with who I am. The internal struggles I hid from the world became so severe that they finally began to show, and I self-medicated and abused so many different things to try and put them back to their hiding places.

Since being in therapy, this is the first day that I have woken up and truly loved myself and told myself I CAN and will get better.

I turn 21 in 17 days and I am more than determined to get out and be able to truly enjoy myself and who I am.

I am so thankful for those who have supported me from day one and have helped me during my recovery. Believe me, I am still scared, and the outside world is going to challenge me in so many ways but I know in my heart that I seriously deserve a better life and I am going to work so hard to achieve that goal.

Everyone can get better, everyone can love themselves and truly learn self acceptance. I feel nothing but love, positivity and guidance for anyone struggling like myself and I know that there is always sunshine behind rain, and there is absolutely beauty beyond pain.

I love you all, and thank you for helping me during my recovery and hope you all know how blessed I am to have such an amazing group of people supporting me. XXX

A study has confirmed that household cleaning products are 99.9 per cent effective in wiping out coronavirus.

The tests looked at ingredients in brands including Dettol and Lysol antiseptic liquid, hand sanitiser and many other cleaning products.

The findings were published in The American Journal of Infection Control.

The study found a reduction of danger within 1 to 5 minutes when the virus came in to contact with them.

Researchers say the discovery is significant in the home, community and general healthcare.

Dr Bruce Charlesworth, chief medical officer at Reckitt Benckiser Group, Slough, said: “This is a positive development and is fully consistent with our expectations. We will continue to develop scientific evidence to support our product portfolio to enable effective, science-led communication around hygiene.”

The study is believed to be the most comprehensive to date,.

Dr Bruce Charlesworth said: “Where required, we have submitted this data to regulatory authorities for their review and approval.

“These studies form part of a wider commitment by RB, a leader in hygiene, to contribute to scientific knowledge around hygiene and COVID-19 and to ensure that all of its communication with stakeholders is evidence-based.

“Other initiatives include working closely with leading scientific experts and academic institutions in the field of hygiene and infection control to educate the public on the importance of hygiene, as well as supporting front-line healthcare workers.”

A British father claims his daughter has been abducted after her mother took her to visit relatives in Poland.

The dad, who can not be named for legal reasons, is reported as saying he fears for the child after she was taken to Poland by his ex partner.

He says he has appealed to the Foreign Office to ask Polish authorities to find the child for him but he has been refused help by police in the central European country.

In August 2018, her mother – a Polish national – took her daughter to Poland and refuses to return.

His case prompted Andrew John Teague, from D.A.D.s and NAAP, to attack the international court system, saying: “The behaviour of courts and authorities across the world, is disgusting.”

His comments came after the father, from Essex, said he learnt his ex-partner and the child had left the country in a text… the mother apparently ignored court orders and so did police after they were informed.

The dad told The Telegraph: “That text messaged changed my life forever, inducing incredible amounts of stress and anxiety, and a financial burden that we will suffer the consequences of for years to come.”

Legal documents are reported as showing the girl’s mother is in breach of an order issued by Peterborough Family Court in August 2013 prohibiting the girl’s removal from the UK. 

The Family Division of the High Court has since made the child a ward of court and ordered her immediate return to England.

But the 56-year-old father, a university teacher, says that far from this happening his daughter and her mother have apparently disappeared after the child was taken out of the Polish-English nursery she was attending in the city of Piotrków Trybunalski.

In February last year he succeeded in obtaining an order from the Regional Court in Lodz, Poland, ordering his daughter’s return to England.

In a letter from the investigations department of Poland’s police HQ, he was told: “According to the Polish provisions of law, the case described by you may have a nature of a dispute which will need to be resolved in civil legal proceedings. Therefore, the Polish police are not authorized to undertake any action in this matter.”

The father said the British Embassy appears to have limited its action to writing just one diplomatic letter to the Polish government.

However, the girl’s mother claims in court documents that the father had a negative attitude towards their daughter’s Polish roots and to her learning Polish, and that she feared he was trying to turn the child against her.

She also claimed that she had decided to move to Poland on a permanent basis because she had lost the house she was renting here and was not receiving child maintenance from the father.

Andrew John Teague said: “The behaviour of courts and authorities across the world, is disgusting.

“Absent parents drag their weary bodies to family courts around the globe seeking justice for their children.

“Many fall along the way through the mental torment and the tremendous wrongs and injustices. The injustice that leaves the parent broken a mere shadow of themselves. The injustice that leaves children in turmoil and bewilderment worry stressed and pushed into future mental health.”

One of the most important things we need to address is the emotional and psychological health and well-being of our children.

Of course everyone looks at safeguarding children from different types of harm, like physical, sexual and various forms of neglect.

We also often hear about the risk of emotional harm and indeed the risk of future emotional harm.

The term risk is used because it is the hardest form of abuse to prove. More often than not it is simply an easy way out for some agencies.

But the emotional and psychological impact on our children is due to controlling parents AND family courts.

Children don’t simply throw away a parent, a grandparent and a whole half of a family!

This is systematically and strategically done by bad parents, grandparents, new partners and family.

And now these children are knocking on the mental health door – suicidal self-harming, alcohol and drug abuse and more.

So the patterns continue, just like today’s children, children tomorrow will be knocking on the mental health door.

Children every year being dragged through the family courts, their future mental health shot to pieces millions because of twisted parents and the family courts process.

Yet none of these children actually cross the threshold of the secret family court doors. Secret to protect children REALLY?

Let’s for a moment take a look at cafcass FCA (family court advisors).

Cafcass will do, in 15/20 minutes, what well-trained child psychologists would take weeks to do.

What makes cafcass so amazingly special?

I will tell you, being left to their own devices, to do what they want and answer to no one/ Accountability zero! That’s what makes them special.

So, what special training do cafcass undertake?

I shall tell you – none!

We have untrained, used-up social workers, the failures of the rat-race playing God

with our children’s lives.

Many, many parents are thrown to the side directly because of cafcass and social workers because its simply easier.

***

A good start would be to disband cafcass and completely remove it from the family courts. Certainly keep cafcass well away from our children.

We can only guess at how many children now grown up over almost 20 years have been failed by cafcass, judges, social workers, leaching lawyers and barristers.

All of them talk kids but, really, how many actually give a toss about them?

Kids are for life and should not be pushed to the bitterest of ends.

Children need us everyday to save them from the tomorrows

Days after the UK Government denied ending funding to protect England’s homeless from coronavirus, a city busker has released a charity single and video to help street sleepers.

Councils across the country were given £3.2bn in March to provide emergency shelter to homeless people.

Many were housed in hotels.

But according to the Manchester Evening News  a leaked report revealed ministers had “quietly pulled the plug”.

In response the government said it had given councils £3.2bn since March and urged them to keep supporting rough sleepers.

The Government also attacked the MeN story…

A spokesman for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said: “It is simply wrong and misleading to suggest that we have stopped funding to keep rough sleepers off the street.

“We gave councils an initial payment of £3.2m at the start of the pandemic so they could take immediate action and help rough sleepers off the street.

“We have since given councils a further £3.2bn to deal with the immediate pressures they are facing, including supporting rough sleepers.”

The government scheme is said to have helped to house about 5,400 people.

Manchester busker and recording artist Sam Qureshi said: “For 20 years I have been a street Busker and In this time I have made a lot of homeless friends on the streets and understand their plight and struggles to well.

“It makes my blood boil when people say that the majority are not genuinely homeless – Sometimes I think these small minded people are in denial about the situation.

“Nothing could be further from the truth.

Of course money can be given directly to reputable charities to supply them with food, shelter,clothing etc…. but a friendly word would be priceless. 

“I always wanted to do something about the situation and donated the song and idea to Shelter UK where I am project leader…

“I have organised the Digital release and the video by Ray Hayden – the artwork is by Steve Fox and everybody has worked for free.

“ I hope we raise £10,000 plus with the song and also raise awareness to the situation by the video which was filmed in Manchester.

“Shelter are a hugely reputable organisation and EVERY penny will go to them to decide how they will utilise the money – With the advent of the Corona Epidemic.  Shelter will appreciate the cash to tackle obstacles of the epidemic.”
