"Time's Up!": The Pretend World of Custody Courts SHARE
Barry Goldstein, JD, describes the "pretend world" of the broken custody court system in which most "court professionals have been trained to view contested custody cases as 'high conflict' by which they mean the parents are angry at each other and act out in ways harmful to their children. Current research, however, establishes that most of these cases are actually domestic violence cases. Fathers with a long history of abuse seek custody as a way to gain access to their victim to pressure her to return or punish her for leaving. Court professionals unwittingly assist these tactics by pressuring the mother to interact and cooperate with her abuser instead of pressuring the father to stop his abuse."

The woman who chased down sex traffickers SHARE
In 1999, DynCorp, under contract to the U.S. State Department, hired Kathryn Bolkovac, a Nebraskan law officer, to serve as a United Nations peacekeeper in Bosnia. When she discovered the extent of DynCorp's complicity in sex trafficking, she barely escaped with her life and blew the whistle. She won in court, but DynCorp went on to even bigger U.S. contracts in Iraq.

California Family Courts Helping Pedophiles, Batterers Get Child Custody By Peter Jamison SHARE
A scandal of court-ordered child abuse is unfolding in California, where activists have demanded audits of family courts that have been awarding children to abusive parents who beat, raped, and killed them. Much of this is connected to psychiatrist Richard Gardner, who popularized his theory of "Parental Alienation Syndrome" that accused protective parents--usually mothers--of "brainwashing" children who feared abusive parents. Courts have adopted that premise and given children to the wrong parents with tragic consequences as documented here. The evidence demands intense scrutiny of court performance in child custody rulings.
