Quote From: juicepoleI belong to a group called Men and Women Against Discrimination. (MAWAD) We had a law recently passed that held the custodial parent liable for false allegations. We are about a parent who can't see their child(ren) due to lies the other parent tells law enforcement, judges and magistrates to keep the child away.
My husband saw his one weekend since 06/05 until 12/07. In Dec. of last year, we got custody. But all of this has been going on since May 2001. False charges about the child being burnt, she done it. Bruises on the child, his arm and butt, done by his mother but who do you think she blamed? The father. I was accused of causing the son so much stress that she had to admit him to a mental hospital. I proved that she told the doctors what she wanted them to know without even talking to us to ask us what happenend that weekend. My husband was put in jail for felony child abuse. When the Pros. Atty told her if she found out she was lying and SHE was the one who caused the abuse, SHE would lose the child and go to jail and did she want to go thru with the charges. The mother dropped the charges after that. But we were out of 2500 lawyer fee.
I think a parent like her should go to jail to "learn a lesson" about filing all the false charges. She even told the child to say that the father molested him, that my son molested him and my father in law witnessed it all and done nothing. When it got down to the State Police and the Pros. Atty. getting involved, everybody realized the child "recited" the store verbatim to everybody who talked to him. (CPS, police, Kids Rights, Pros. Atty, and Guardian Ad Litem) To this day he will tell you his mom "told him to do it or go to foster care". You dont scare a child into doing what you want.
The child didnt ask to be born. The child didnt ask to be put in the middle. We just found out that the mother is not brainwashing the child into what to say when the new court date comes about. If this is brought up in court, I think the mother should lose visitation unless its supervised.
My husband was falsely accused of abuse, and once we got it cleared up, there were no repurcussions. It's way too easy for someone to make a false accusation without any proof needed. They play the system and make everyone's lives miserable, most especially the children.
When parents get divorced, custody should be an automatic 50/50 split unless one parent is proven unfit.
False accusations happen mostly against fathers, but as you can see from this board, it can happen to moms, too.
