LEHI – Up until two years ago, Art Henderson appeared to be at the top of his game.
    A Lehi police officer, he worked on the SWAT team, taught a self-defense class for women and instructed his fellow officers on when it was appropriate to use force.
    By 2004, he began to come undone. He was using pain medications while on duty, lehi Police Chief Chad Smith said. He assaulted a man who was dating his wife, a conviction the department said led to his termination in July 2004.
    The assault charge would be the first of three filed against him during the next 18 months. (more…)

No more waiting; it’s time for reform, MARC SNIDER, Merrimack – Letter – Concord Monitor Online – Concord, NH 03301

To Monitor reporter Eric Moskowitz: Thank you for your objective story. The public needs more exposure to the actuality of the legislative process as it relates to family law.

It is important to draw the parallel between the lack of accountability for false assertions being made at the State House by special-interest lobbyists and the lack of accountability for false assertions being made in the family courts to gain advantage in child-custody proceedings. (more…)

Dad’s activism unsettles State House – Concord Monitor Online – Concord, NH 03301
Marc Snider, a divorced dad who regularly attends legislative hearings on family-law bills, calls himself “a righteous force for equality and fairness in the true best interests of New Hampshire’s children.” But his tactics go too far, some lawmakers and lobbyists said.

Last year, Snider posted a photo of a lobbyist, identifying her and others he says do the bidding of “radical anti-father ideologues” and manipulate policy from “the shadows.” He has also posted pictures of House Children and Family Law Committee members on his website, along with a scorecard to be filled in with their votes.

The Trouble With Boys
They’re kinetic, maddening and failing at school. Now educators are trying new ways to help them succeed.

 I received this from Dr. Corry:

In past installments on the horrors of slavery inflicted under color of law by the Colorado legislature I have ignored the pernicious effects of the judiciary on paternity fraud. Even if the state legislatures passed equitable laws, which some have, regarding paternity fraud there is still the disastrous impact of the family courts and the black-robed monsters who sit on the benches of many of them. In their star chambers these redfems ignore the law, if they even know it, and rule on the basis of their emotions and feelings. And it is certainly politically correct in these times to condemn the husband for his wife’s adultery.

FOXNews.com – Views News – ifeminists – Kidnapping Plot Robs Father’s Rights Group of Credibility
Tuesday, January 24, 2006
By Wendy McElroy
Last Wednesday, the media decried an alleged plot by fathers’ rights extremists to kidnap Prime Minister Tony Blair’s 5-year-old son Leo. Subsequent reports have skidded from outrage to skepticism, from the death of an organization to the birth of a movie deal.

What actually happened and what does it mean to the fathers’ rights movement?

Maligning fathers – The Boston Globe
By Cathy Young | January 23, 2006

LAST NOVEMBER, I wrote about the controversy about the Public Broadcasting Service documentary, ”Breaking the Silence: Children’s Stories,” which claimed that male batterers and child abusers frequently gain custody of their children in divorce cases after the mothers’ claims of abuse are disbelieved by the courts. The film caused an outcry from fathers’ rights groups. In response to these protests, PBS announced a 30-day review to determine whether the film met the editorial guidelines for fairness and accuracy.

Unfortunately, it seems that the review amounted to little more than a whitewash.
