Family courts: Children forced into contact with fathers accused of abuse

Our thanks to Nigel for this appalling piece on the BBC website. He writes:
Well we know where this is going. As usual the whole thing is reported as if accusations of Domestic Abuse are automatically true and always mean the father (never a mother) is an abuser. The poor quality of the research is illustrated by this sort of thing “The BBC investigation found five mothers died – some taking their own lives and one having a heart attack” With only 5 instances you’d know exactly how many suicides there were not “some”. The research itself looked at 45 mothers. Hardly a large number. Of course given the way family courts are known to be biased against fathers it isn’t surprising that the “investigation” in fact found so few out of the many thousands of such cases filling the family courts. Unsurprisingly Jess Philips thinks men should lose contact with their children once an accusation is made, and no doubt only thinks that assuming all accusations will be about fathers, undoubtably she wouldn’t think the same about accusations against mothers! The idea that “parental alienation” is somehow “complex psychological jargon” is also laughable as its pretty clear what it means. However invoking “mothers” and their “distress” will no doubt motivate white knights to dance to the feminists’ tune.
