Home Fam-Court Australia Needs To Recalibrate With Regard to Motherhood

Australia Needs To Recalibrate With Regard to Motherhood

47

by Dee McLachlan

I was born in Africa. And growing up there, I was acutely aware that there is a special bond between a mother and a child. There is something special about how Motherhood is viewed, and the empowering aspects of it. To the African peoples, Motherhood is sacred, and is a powerful spiritual component of the woman’s life. But somehow in Australia, and other Western countries, we have drastically lost our way with regard to “family” and this biological and spiritual bond.

I don’t want to take anything away from fatherhood, but this article relates to the special relationship from the womb to a lifelong relationship with that child – and in this case, to one mother I met in Queensland.

I could have chosen any one of several mothers that I met in Brisbane to write about (when I was in Queensland for Dr Pridgeon’s hearing). There are similarities in many of the accounts, but I chose this mother as she is not allowed to see her daughter unsupervised for the next fourteen years.

And if you add up the cost of supervision fees for those years it will amount to an amazing sum of around $100,000. (Yes, you actually pay to get to be watched by a stranger as you greet your kid for an hour or more.)

I was chatting to a friend the other day, and mentioned in passing (no details or names) this draconian 14-year “sentence” against this mother. My friend did not believe me at first. He could not believe that the law could operate that way, and that a judge would order the destruction of evidence of child abuse.

He went through his own logic and said, “Impossible. It could not happen in this country” (or words to that effect). The mother must have committed murder or was about to drive her car into a lake to drown her kid, he said. (In Victoria, in 2015, a woman, Akon Guode, killed her three youngest children by deliberately driving her car into a lake, and before that in 2005, so did Robert Farquharson.)

I assured him, no. They only thing the mum has really done is believe her child was abused. She “exposed” the crime, yet she is targeted as “committing crime.” And now she is considered an extreme danger to the child, causing the child psychological harm.

It is difficult to wrap one’s head around the female judge’s logic and order. But — perhaps to make sure she is not challenged in the future? — Her Honour ordered all the evidence to be destroyed. This woman judge not only silenced her, but also her child. Stunningly the mum has now been denied any rights of Motherhood by a woman judge – a natural right of being human on this earth.

Decomposing the Evidence

I had been in communication with this mother some time ago, but now, as I learn more how the system works, I have come to understand the sheer scale of the torture perpetrated on the innocents – and how “evidence” is dealt with.

I could say disposing of evidence is like one’s compost bin. The evidence in tossed in the “compost bin” and there it breaks down, heats up, by decomposing slowly, until it’s no longer recognisable. Just like the banana skins, or the broccoli stalks turning to compost and soil.

There is one thing that I can say for certain: should the general public become aware of the atrocities being perpetrated in the name of government departments and the courts, they will be ready for action. For now, at least one prosecutor in Queensland has a problem.

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) and the DPP have now got over 40G of data from Dr William Russell Pridgeon’s and Patrick O’Dea’s computers. I suspect that on those computers will be evidence exposing many cases of egregious child sexual abuse.

There may be reports from Professor Freda Briggs outlining the abhorrent abuse perpetrated on children. It will surely be a treasure trove of information – and it is the prosecutor’s obligation to reveal any disclosures that are relevant to the case of “child stealing” that those two men, and others, are accused of.

I think the prosecutor has a problem, and I’m not sure where the AFP can go from here, except disclose to the public the many cases that O’Dea and Pridgeon had tried to expose. And allow the voices of many children to be heard.

Recall the Brady rule in the US – it says exculpatory evidence must be coughed up by the Prosecution at trial. The same rule applies in Australia, but the evidence I am referring to is inculpatory of the AFP.

The Voice of the Child

Before actually meeting this mother in Brisbane, I had been in communication with her, and was told about the many things her daughter had said. The child (around 3 or 4 at the time) said something along these lines to the mother (I believe it was recorded, and these are not quotes, but the essence of what was said):

“Daddy touches my gina, can I touch yours” (to her mother)

“He got bigger and bigger in the bath, and when he got the spots on my face and in my hair, I cried”

The mother recorded several ‘raw’ and graphic disclosures, but there is no need to go any further. Houston we have a problem!

Could this be a vindictive claim on her ex? Well, why would a protective mother be prepared to lose everything – and I mean everything – to protect her daughter from abuse, merely in aid of “vengeance”? The answer lies in the judicial principle of Cui Bono (Who gains?). On being accused of sexual abuse, the father began the most vindictive and orchestrated plan to discredit the mother. (But before we go on, I have spoken to fathers who are dealing with psychotic and vindictive mothers, so this account is just that – an example.)

Her account is mirrored by many others, and this mother was a successful person in her chosen career. Her family tells me she grew up with a good and caring heart. She followed the law. She reported child sexual abuse, and she believed it was her duty as a mother to protect her daughter. It is all our duty to protect an abused child.

But the child’s voice wasn’t heard. The mother was immediately accused of coaching, and the police and the courts failed the “Public Health Approach” to prevent child sexual abuse. Immediately after the accusations, the child’s father kicked his counter measures into gear. That is a pattern I have heard over and over. And then he began his vicious counterattacks to destroy the mother, and anyone supporting her.

It appeared that this was his objective. I am not sure whether this was to keep himself out of jail – or whether there was an added pleasure destroying a life — as part of the “rush.” But that’s how it seems to works. And because of the psychopathic behaviours, which include feeling no remorse, the child’s life begins to disintegrate – on top of the sexual abuse perpetrated.

Now some readers might be justified in saying to me “But you are hearing one side of the story.” Granted, the abuser has not written to me laying out his case. OK, but my focus is on what is occurring with the child. Is the child happy with the court’s decision? Is the voice of the child being heard – or disregarded?

Pathocracy

It feels like we exist in a  pathocracy — a system of government created by a small pathological minority that takes control over a society of normal people. And where empathy has no place. This results in corporate leaders, bankers, media executives, government officials, Congressmen, Senators, and even Presidents and Prime Ministers, supporting systems that have little regard for truth. The entire fabric of society is unbalanced, where this twisted behaviour becomes the norm. And then Royal Commissions have to be called to bring these to the attention to the public, and attempt to pull these behaviours back in line.

It means a department or a court can no longer gauge how to react ethically, or how to demonstrate empathy. And the result is the organisation that is set up to protect children, is unable to. Good people struggle in systems unable to gauge pain, grief, love or know how to understand the bond between mother and child, or family.

But remember, a psychopath has no prescribed gender. I spoke at great length with a man the other day who had partnered with a woman, who turned out to be a psychopath – and he described in detail her modus operandi to destroy him. He described how this person was unable to experience normal emotions, understand — for example — the joy experienced by others. So his partner was compelled to disrupt that joy to attain her own “kick.” Through his suffering, he even felt sorry for her.

And the mother I am writing about today says her once-partner is a psychopath. She told me:

“Going to court with a psychopath, is like torture. It’s like waterboarding. Instead of interrogating the offender they interrogate the victims. It’s a one sided war… He is a pathological liar, and has no capacity for empathy incapable of love, intimacy or reciprocity. Life is a game to him, and it is all about winning. Now the draconian orders are in place forever, and they have ruined my life.”

But it was the system that facilitate her destruction. It was a female judge that executed the orders. He played the victim, but she tells me it was really the officers of the court, the police, ICL lawyers, family court consultants, magistrates and a series of judges that employed mob tactics. They “ganged up”, and humiliated, and intimidated her. Did the child even enter the equation?

To repeat: I have received phone calls from most states in Australia, saying similar things. Maybe we all ought to go back to Africa and start again.

We are only now beginning to understand the dramatic influences of love and nurturing on our wellbeing and biology, and how this affects one’s life long adventure in this world. So it is only logical that separating a child from a devoted protective parent will have devastating affects on a child. We know for sure that it has a cruel and debilitating affect on the protective mother (or father).

Convicts and Exile

We tour Port Arthur with horror in our hearts at what judges did that back then. And it is a shock to realise it is happening right now. It seems that we are still operating like they did in the early 1800s where mothers (for example) from the British Isles were often separated from their young children and transported to face a lonely future in exile down under for stealing a shilling.

In the case of this mother in Queensland — and her side of the family — fourteen years is a life sentence. An exile from family and normality. And all she wanted to do was to keep her child safe. And Guode, the woman who killed her three children in Victoria in 2015, has an 18 year jail term. She will be eligible for parole around the same time — 14 years.

Welcome to the country of a ‘fair go’. I have lived on four continents, seen poverty at its worse. But this is about the worst I’ve heard. I hope she sustains her strength, as I know the winds about about to change.

Australia, will soon be forced to re-calibrate.

  1. Due to the nature of news reports I always temper everything I read with what I’ve witnessed 1st hand. In this particular instance everything tees up perfectly, however I really think the focus should be on the number of written rules the respective judges are breaking.

    It’s also a big mistake to think that such individuals are somehow going to miraculously wake up and set everything in order; open defiance is really the only way to go

  3. Very well written and thankyou once again Dee for being a voice to all of the protective parents out there, but more importantly the children who cannot logically understand why their loving parent has been removed from their life.

    The lies that are told to the children are also a form of abuse. ‘Your mother is crazy & has gone to a mental institution’, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Nine months of being supervised in a contact centre to pay to see my children & witness the bleeding arms of my daughter from self harm. The supervising staff at the centre even refused to document this! They physically stopped me from photographing this too, heaven forbid there would be any evidence of their own crimes!

    I am more fortunate than some, including the mother in this article as at least I get to see my children now unsupervised. I’m very aware that if I ‘step out of line’ and report abuse this limited contact will stop.

    In my circumstance I am also treated as the criminal. My children were removed for risk of future emotional abuse. Yet the system that should be protecting my children have NOW deliberately CREATED emotional harm to my children by removing the only person who believed them and raised them!!!

    The domestic violence by proxy is continuing to this day…….but heaven forbid that I dare speak out again! A Royal Commission into the Family Court is a necessity & can’t come fast enough for some !

  4. And they say the mother is the problem ,this judge has screwed this child up,for life,not the mother , I hope the child gets to use their voice , this is why we need a royal commission into the family court,,shame on the politicians that won’t vote for it, ,

  5. The organised abuse of children in this country is now obvious for all to see. No-one can pretend it is not happening. I too cannot watch and trust mass media reports any more. They do not report the truth. Thank god for Gumshoe.

  6. Australia has certainly lost its way in so many areas. The good reputation that it used to have is gone unfortunately never to return…

    Both sides of the political spectrum called the Left aka the Socialists –Communists and the right the Fascists that often tout “Australian family values” showed their real colours when they enthusiastically supported homosexual and lesbian same sex marriage and the redefining of marriage and the redefining of male and female with all of this hybrid transgender in addition detrimental to society as a whole. Many empires have fallen and this one one of the reasons.

    The African Christians have stood up and spoke out against homosexuality and lesbianism compared to the corrupt and degenerated West. Yes they genuinely stand up for “family values” not like the corrupted politicians here with their “Doublespeak.” They were enthusiastically supporting such a bizarre agenda in their many photo ops. The Muslims are also against homosexuality and Lesbianism as were number of the better popes centuries ago.

    Of course this is one of the many subjects that is “politically incorrect” to talk about. We must accept and not discriminate is the call of the day by the state. The detriment is obvious to many.

    There is far too much domestic violence by males whether they are married or living together and there seems to be complete lack of respect for the females in a number of areas.

        Here is another reason as well.

        • “The good reputation that it used to have is gone unfortunately never to return”…It never had a very good reputation through my eyes and they were wide open to the middle-class aspiring to be accepted by the “elite” and they had learnt to play the British class game of white privilege. What is happening now is that these people are waking up and realise they have been duped and used-‘only pawns in the game’.
          This country has an appalling Colonial history and human rights record and cunningly rewrites history with impunity. A place full of secrets and lies.

  9. Fie on whitewashes! All Royal Commission are whitewashes.

    Clearly the recent one, the biggie, whitewashed whatever Fiona Barnett told them, and rebuffed any present-day stories by numerous Protective parents.

    “Not in our Terms of Reference so amscray, OK?” “And here’s $20 for your taxi fare home.”

      • I’m really looking forward to this ‘NZ Royal Commission’ on their latest psy-op in Christchurch. They already have their gun control legislation implemented, they have already cracked down on freedom of speech, Crikey, why do they need to have any sort of inquiry?

        IF, that’s IF, there ever is a Royal Commission into the Christchurch massacre, I expect it will be such a sham that even the dumbest Kiwi will recognize it for the sham that it is. In which case, expect it to get delayed and delayed and……

    • Some quotes from https://fionabarnett.org

      AUSTRALIA HIDES GEORGE PELL’S RITUAL ABUSE CRIMES

      “The federal Child Abuse Royal Commission were supplied with multiple witness accounts of George Pell’s Luciferian ritual crimes against children. And when I say the word ‘ritual’, I mean as employed by the Australian Prime minister in his apology to our country’s numerous victims of organised child sex abuse. But this has been covered up by the Australian government also.”

      “The Royal Commission poorly cross-examined George Pell regarding his cover-up of priests raping children in Victoria. Knowing the cardinal had himself raped multiple kids, and that there were outstanding allegations being investigated by reluctant police (aka ‘The Catholic Mafia’), the Royal Commission allowed Pell to leave Australia and risked his never returning to face the charges he was just convicted of.”

      “People ask me why they never see evidence of VIP pedophilia and Luciferian ritual abuse in Australia. Well here’s why! We are watching the Australian government bury the crimes of one of Australia’s most famous VIP pedophiles, and one of the most senior members of the Luciferian pedophile child trafficking organisation known as the Vatican.”

      “How is anyone in Australia supposed to know if there is a suppression order, or whether a court case is finished, or if another is starting – when the public are completely uninformed and are not being told anything in our press? All else is rumour and fake news, right?”

      The NT Royal Commission into Child Protection and Youth Detention demonstrates how the terms of reference change, no one is held to account and RC’s are set up to pass pre determined new legislation that fits the hidden agenda of the NWO regime.

      • We have several generations who are products of Tavistock formula to break the mother bond–divide the family- Bowlby attachment theory–Taking the children away Monarch programming–organised abuse mind manipulation-brainwashing–child trafficking–and on and on

        “She never liked the Spider-Man suit which has become nationally symbolic of the little boy, believing the dress-up outfit was showy and that her son Brendan had bought William better outfits.”

        http://www.ep.tc/problems/fifteen/01.html

        “Spider man” sends a message understood by to the criminals.

        • Diane, that news.com article is a big waste of time. Now here is an odd item from NZ that Fiona may appreciate:

          “The [visitors at Inquest for Tyrell] included child protection activist Allanna Smith, a one-time foster child herself. Smith led the successful court bid against the Department of Family and Community Services that lifted the veil of secrecy over William’s status as a foster child.”

          I don’t know how that works. I would be very interested to learn. Yes I agree with Fiona. During the several months that the Outside world knew Pell had been convicted, Dee and I simply did not know how the law affected us. But it did not seem wise to risk having Gumshoe wiped off the map over a breach.

          All of that said, I doubt Pell is guilty of assaulting choir boys in full view of anyone who would walk into the sacristy. (A parishioner cold go in to organize a Baptism or something.)

          I think Pell’s imprisonment could be a way of “finishing off” the church. Pardon my cynicism. And if I am right (I realize it is a big IF), Pell is no doubt a willing player.

          i never heard the ritual accusation til you posted it above.

      • Im waiting to see if there was any intimidation and offering sums of money from Pell’s minders. I saw last night that happened to a couple of boys who were sexually assault over 240 times! They were threatened and told to shut up and they would receive a large sum of cash.

  12. Dee ,
    Yes a “fair go” is what made this nation a shining light on the world stage , once upon a time … not so long ago . This century , by way of greed and layered oppressive lies from tptb , spiritually and economically we have been worked over and discarded to the sidelines of non participation .
    Hungry for food , replaced by the new blood , with the floodgates opened for more punters to the bankers ponzi utopia .
    How can we expect compassion from the 10% when they have never experienced the real world of actually working for a living . They live in their connected glass towers oblivious to the misery that surrounds them . It’s all about money and nothing else .

    Fair go has been replaced by , pay the fare and go to the next collector .
    In the legal system , many win but still have to pay legal costs summing to hundreds of hours
    @ $1000/hr .

    Maybe the end game is not wealth for the few but seeing how much suffering they can inflict on the overwhelming majority with their satanic agenda . The intentional destruction of all families ( other than their own) is all part of global 2030 .

      • It is insidiously satanic as they create industries making people sick and profiting from a false sense of “health” when it is sickness, illness,disease and death right to the bitter end. They have no conscience

  13. Dee, it’s a lovely article and really nice pix. In the building where I stay in NH there are many refugees from Africa. The women walk to the clothesline with the laundry basket on their heads. They put everything up there.

    Yesterday (honest) I saw an African girl walk to the dumpster carrying, on her bean, a box spring from a double bed. She wasn’t reaching up to hold it, just walked along nonchalantly. If I needed to transport a bed it would never occur to me to do that.

    (Though, come to think of it, my Mother often said “Mary, why don’t you use your head!”)

    • Anzac Day does not sit well with me, probably due to my family military UK background and my understanding of the Frontier Wars that are not acknowledged or recognised as part of this countries history.

      I watched politicians Brendon Nelson and GG Cosgrove speak today and I remembered many many things- yes- “Lest we Forget”. Does anyone remember the play “The One Day of the Year” 1960.s ? by Alan Seymore. I remember it well.

      “The One Day of the Year is one of the most provocative plays ever staged in Australia, and was banned for fear of offending members of the Returned Services League. A panel of judges had chosen the play to be performed at the Adelaide Festival of Arts in 1960. But before rehearsals commenced the board of governors of the festival banned it, believing the content to be insensitive to returned servicemen.”

        Take heart many things are being revealed.

        I just watched on ABC Lest We Forget What? by Kate Aubusson on the Gallipoli Myth. She has set a new bench mark for Australian history! There was no good or sound reason whatsoever to go to Gallipoli. The Australian historians have been in a conspiracy to dominate the story-telling and so has the Canberra War Memorial. She exposes the myths and confronts where no male has dared to enter except this one male military historian who has turned Gallipoli on its head. I have long held the same belief being ex military. The commercialisation makes me sick. Every Australian should watch this exposure and buy the book.

  15. Thank you Dee, for spelling out what happens almost daily in the Family Courts of Australia. It is now over 25 years since I began acting as a Child Advocate after a similar period as a Child Protection Social Worker. I know therefor how to conduct thorough investigations into allegations of child sexual abuse and have conducted many hundreds of such investigations during my career.. Thorough and competent investigations never happen in these cases and that is because Family Courts do not have the Statutory Powers, the Expertise, nor the Resources to conduct such investigations. There is a dual failing in these cases. 1. Family Courts rarely (if ever) refer such cases to the Statutory Authorities for investigations, and when they do, only a cursory investigation is carried out. i.e. the first step is to take the child immediately to a forensic paediatrician for a physical examination for signs of sexual abuse (including photographs of cuts, bruises and abrasions). 2. The child should then be interviewed by a Forensic Clinical Psychologist for any emotional and psychological disorders which emanate from sexual abuse. 3. Written Statements should be taken from the child (if old enough) and from direct and indirect witnesses. There are rarely Direct Witnesses of Child Sexual Abuse but children often complain to a number of professional and independent witnesses and their testimony is a key and critical evidential element in such cases. On rare occasions the Statutory find after their investigations that the child’s allegations are substantiated, yet Family Courts can then ignored, disregard, or dismiss such evidence. (See Glavas & Forsyth 2017). When this occurs, the State Statutory Authorities can still intervene in pursuance of their duties and responsibilities to do so, but they seem to be afraid to engage in a confrontation with the Family Courts by removing the child from the alleged perpetrator.

    In essence, these bad decisions of Family Courts continue because of this schism in powers and responsibilities between the Federal Family Courts and the State Laws and Authorities. That is why the recommendation of the ALRC for all such cases should be transferred to the State Courts is eminently sensible and unerringly logical. State Courts are dealing with cases of child abuse and domestic violence every day and implementing the State Laws on such matters, so their experience is vast and they place the child’s interests first and foremost in such matters. We must all join in a single voice to get the ALRC Recommendation implemented with utmost haste.

    • So the situation isn’t due to anything more than jurisdictional mismanagement ?

      You might just as well say that the above referenced transportation merely happened because the authorities of the day were a tad clumsy.

      There might well be an element of truth but r e a l l y !

      • Berry,
        Perhaps it’s just “a failure of imagination”

        Intelligence failures of imagination and the 9/11 attacks.”

        “Failure of imagination is invoked as a reason that intelligence agencies, such as the Central Intelligence Agency and the NSA, failed to prevent the September 11 attacks.”

        Come on Charles. Pilots don’t/won’t see chemtrails, doctors don’t/won’t see crook vaccines, govt. workers don’t/won’t see socialism, teachers don’t/won’t see lousy education standards and scientists don’t/won’t see bogus science when it comes to climate change.

        Things are not SEEN because self interest inhibits and prohibits us from “seeing” in the name of our own self-preservation. We won’t “see” things if we’re not looking for them. Case in point, thermite in the WTC debris. Because they weren’t looking for it!!

        Just saying….

        • Phil ,
          Just wondering how many of our politicians are masons .

            http://www.lodgedevotion.net/devotionnews/famous-australian-freemasons/large-list-of-notable-and-famous-australian-freemasons
            There are many lists readily available of famous Freemasons on the internet, but when this list was started in 2007, no extensive list dedicated to just Australian Freemasons existed. Never keen to simply duplicate web content from other web sites on our site http://www.lodgedevotion.com I set out to compile a list concerned with only Australian members of “The Craft”. My list is now widely used by others – please cite our web address when using our content.

            This list has been compiled over years and is always evolving. This edition is version 12. For some time, references were not recorded, but as the list grew, it was realized it could become an authoritative and comprehensive record of Australian Freemasons. It is now the most authoritative and comprehensive list of Australian Freemasons on the web and a useful resource for researchers. Readers should note names have only been included when the source of the same was considered reliable. Unfortunately, not all of those named have reflected the greatest credit on our Craft, but the test for inclusion is reasonable proof of membership, not subjective opinion on their actions or the lives they led. For want of other phrase, I’ve included the bad apples.

            In effect, the Masonic Lodge arrived in Australia around the time of the First Fleet. Freemasonry was a secret secular society that evolved in the Middle Ages and was opposed by most organised religions, especially the Catholic Church. Its influence was spread by colonisation, particularly in what became known as the British Empire.

            Certainly, more is known about Freemasonry now than ever before. In 1999 Prince Michael of Kent presided over a ceremony in Melbourne to mark the centenary of the Victorian Grand Lodge. Last month former NSW police commissioner Tony Lauer got dressed up in his full Masonic kit for a photo shoot to mark the occasion of his appointment as Grand Master of the NSW and ACT Freemasons.

      • berry : No. But better jurisdictional management would improve what exists. A One-Stop Shop for all families experiencing such difficulties, and which would save them having to go through various Courts at Federal and State level.

        • Charles,
          “Phil – Where is there any suggestion of Conspiracy Theories?. It is a critique of bad laws and bad administration of those laws. You need to get your paranoia under control.”

          I think Dee has adequately detailed, to her horror, how “the system” works in Australia, when it comes to abused children and their welfare. This is not to say that there are not fantastic people knocking their brains out, trying to to do the impossible task of looking after the kids and the innocent parties.(and I will presume you fall into this class). However, I have personal experience of dozens of friends, relatives, personal acquaintances who are decent, upright people, but who do not want to know certain things, especially about their profession or livelihood, which if they had to acknowledge the truth of, would cause them considerable disquiet, perhaps extreme psychological turmoil or professional ostracism. I see it everyday and everywhere. So I don’t buy your theory that it’s jut a cluster fuck of bad laws administrated badly by under- resourced social workers.

          It’s quite deliberate. It’s quite well planned. It gives (((them))) plausible deniability.It’s what these people are very good at. And their system quietly destroys the lives of thousands of good people.

          And yes, My paranoia is doing fine, thank you. I only wish I was this paranoid 40 years ago. Life might have been different.

  16. “State Courts are dealing with cases of child abuse and domestic violence every day and implementing the State Laws on such matters, so their experience is vast and they place the child’s interests first and foremost in such matters.”

    Dear Charles, are we talking about Australia? Are we talking about the Year of Our Lord 2019?

    • Here is part of the Glavas decision (I assume the name Glavas is a pseudonym as this ruling is public on the website austlii.edu.au):

      When the Family Consultant was asked in cross-examination to assume that outcome, she strongly advocated for the children to live with him [the dad] , even though it would mean their separation from E. [a half-brother], She said the parental relationship should be prioritised over the sibling relationship and, furthermore, she adhered to that view even if the maternal grandmother could offer the children a superior parental experience.

      So long as the father was capable of meeting all of the children’s needs to a satisfactory standard, their best interests were served by living with the father. The potence of that opinion was informed by the loss of one parent already suffered by the children, for they have little, if any, satisfactory explanation for the mother’s sudden departure from their lives in May 2016.

      The Family Consultant was concerned the children may feel abandoned by the mother and would suffer more emotional damage by any marginalisation of the father in their lives.

      • Mary Maxwell – Yes that is the position. It is clearly set out in the ALRC Report as well if you’d bothered to read it. The reference to Glavas and Forsyth was in regard to overriding the findings of the NSW Child Protection investigators regarding the abuse inflicted on the child by the father. The Family Consultant did not have the Statutory powers, nor the expertise, nor the resources to investigate such matters. (former Chief Justice Bryant – Brisbane 2009). The opinion of the Family Consultant is also highly questionable in terms of psychological research into maternal child bonding and attachment. In this case, the grandmother as the mother substitute.
