Why Private Suffering Must Become Political Action
A father recently left a comment on my website asking how any of my essays apply in the real world. What, he asked, can a father like him do to protect his children from what he experiences as systemic child trafficking?
I would not use that phrase as my policy description. But I understand why a parent reaches for it, their child’s relationship can feel captured by processes they cannot control, cannot afford and cannot make accountable.
This question is not only a father’s question. It is the question asked, in different forms, by every parent, grandparent and adult alienated child who has watched a safe family relationship become institutionally disposable.
- This is Bigger Than Psychology and Law
- That failure is moral. It is also political.
- The answer is political.
A Call to Political Action
Thank you for writing about this Dr Korosi. I have experienced this as well as alienated children returning and setting up an argument and recording us on their phones for other party to use against us in family court – 11 and 12 year old children. I have a lot of examples of this kind of extreme weaponisation of children.
Thanks for that Stan, I have absolutely no hesitation in saying that this is the next stolen generation. Families torn apart and children removed from their parents for no good reason except for the knowledge that women can make any accusations (or none at all in my case) and the system will take care of the rest! Disadvantaging fathers, taking their property, ignoring a child’s right to have a family, stopping a father being involved in their childrens education and development – while making him pay for it all or committing suicide as the only two choices offered – a truly disgusting and shameful situation for our country to be in.
