Scandal Illuminates Troubled Family Court System

The Center for Judicial Excellence is nothing more than a group of alienating moms who had their children taken away, and rightly so, for making false claims of abuse against fathers. Although, they give the appearance of being an all-inclusive group (for non-profit purposes only) their primary agenda is a feminist agenda of mail bashing, all-men-are-domestic-violators and only women deserve to have children. In not one case, has any father who has custody of his children in Marin County been convicted of abuse against his children. This group promotes an anti-parental alienation bias against fathers and men in general. Sure, they have a few token men in the group, but having attended one of their meetings personally, it is a group set on taking parental rights away from men.

This group lost credibility even with the largest newspaper in Marin County http://www.marinij.com/spotswood/ci_4461723 and has taken their anti-male bias to Sacramento where their Parental Alienation bias was stricken from legislation 3 times in 3 years.

The CJE has been told by the Marin Board of Supervisors that they cannot interfere in Marin Courts, so they have taken their case on the road, hoping that Alameda county supervisors do not understand obstruction of justice.

Also, you need to remember that Alameda County Supervisor Gail Steel lives in Marin County.

The family courts are destructive to all families. You must look at how federal incentive funds drive these negative outcomes. Title IV of the social security act is a good start. Title IV-D and Title IV-E get right to the poiunt of the best outcome for the most federal money yet these outcomes are the worst for our families, children, taxpayer, and society.

As a child advocate and a conscious co-parenting coach and an adult child of PAS I find these types of groups filled with hateful angry people who have nothing better to do then to destroy the lives of innocent children. These people are often times the people abusing their children and they create these groups to deflect any attention from their own abusive behavior.

Parental Alienation is one of the worse forms of child abuse as it robs the child's mind of the ability to think and act for him or herself. With growing numbers of these types of groups around the country it is important to step up and to continue to fight for the rights and the relationship with your children. Create your own conscious and loving support group in your area.

Don't sit back in silence while angry groups like this crop up in your area and influence the judges in your custody case leaving you wondering what happened. Get prepared get educated and then educate others. The reason groups like these have any power at all is because they band together and come out in numbers if you do the same with a positive proactive message and approach you can positively change the direction of your relationship and life with your children and you can influence others to do the same.

The Judicial Council's Center for Families, Children and the Courts? The National Center for Judicial Education? Don't make me laugh. These organizations carry their anti-parent agenda under the cloak of supposed judical neutrality, and they do nothing but fund anti-parent psychobabble. We need a ballot initiative to rein in the courts, provide jury trials in dependency cases, and fire 75-90% of the social workers.

I've read the comments and would like to offer a real life analysis. I'm a responsible parent that has dealt with the Alameda Family Support system for over 20 years both as the non-custodial and custodial parent. So, yes, I've been on both sides and have witnessed and been before many judges and a myriad of other family services workers.

What I've witnessed and endured in the systems is horrific. The DA's have NO vested interest in your kids and they will quickly tell you this. The judges (for the most part) are, AMAZINGLY, brutal and inconsistent in how they treat and decide on matters which I learned to live with but what is ASTONISHING is the little regard they had on how their decisions impacted kids.

When I explained to one judge who was attacking me about child support how I've always paid child support and believed in supporting my kids---his remark was "I guess we'll all be going to heaven for our little good deeds, so I don't want to hear it". Another time when I declined child support from my ex-wife the judge drug me back into court and said "there must be something going on that you don't want child support". He then force the case to be re-opened although I had a "court order" that showed I have full custody and believe me I have many, many more examples of the treatment that goes on in the system there.

Trust, that I'm not the angry or bitter parent but just want to provide a glimpse of what people endure.

I am the grandmother of an abused child in San Bernardino county. I reported the abuse to the sherriff's office, CPS, the courts, my grandsons attorney and he is still in the abusevie home. I went out and hired 2 private investigators I had to be sure of my facts. The CPS workers have lied in this case. I have evidence to support theses facts. The attorney for my grandson made the following statement in court ( THERE IS CHILD ABUSE BUT I AM NOT COMFERTABLE!)The next court hearing my grandsons attorney made this statement (I didn't stop his visits with his mother because he loves her so much,he loves her so much, he loves her so much. my daughter is a drug addict. He arranged supervised visits for my daughter, but left my grandson in an abusive home with his father and stepmother. The judge in this case did not stop the abuse on my grandson. Both my grandsons father and step mother have a history of child abuse and violance. The attorneys have lied in court, and the judges who have heard this case have no clue that is the case or they don't want to deal with it. I know that the judges who do these cases don't read what is written, nor do they want to allow evidence to support the facts. This is what is called equal procetion under the law. Not everyone lies about what is happing to the children. Some of us do tell the truth about what is happing to these children. I know there is some way that these cases can be proven or disproved to protect our children and grandchildren. We need equal procection under the law for these children. There is laws but they don't seem to apply to children. We need to change the courts. WE NEED CHANGES NOW BEFORE MORE CHILDREN ARE HURT OR DIE. I WILL NEVER STOP TRYING TO SAVE A CHILD FROM A LIFE OF ABUSE. IT'S TIME TO DEAL WITH THESE PROBLEMS IN OUR COURTS.
