Banned in Massachusetts: Family Court Judge Bars Tell-All Book, According to Fathers & Families
Massachusetts family court undermines U.S. Constitution

BOSTON, March 27 /PRNewswire/ — Fathers & Families reacted today to the
ruling by Judge Mary Manzi of the Essex County Probate and Family Court that
banned member Kevin Thompson from distributing his tell-all book, “Exposing
the Corruption in the Massachusetts Family Courts.” (more…)

It was proper to terminate the defendant’s child support payments,
even though he treated the boy as his own son and supported him since
his birth in 1989 as a result of the parties’ unmarried relationship.
At age 16, it was first learned this not his biological child. Despite
the mother’s claim defendant should not be permitted to disavow the
obligations he had “voluntarily” undertaken, the judge found she had
defrauded defendant with the intention of inducing him to pay for the
child, when she knew it was not his. Consent given by virtue of fraud
is no consent at all; and any action induced by fraud cannot be
deemed “voluntary”.

Subject: It’s Official – My Book has been Banned!

Today by mail, I received notice that my recently released book, “Exposing
the Corruption in the Massachusetts Family Courts” was officially banned.  I
received an Order of Impoundment and a Temporary Restraining Order.  My
custody case and a DSS report, which substantiate the crimes that I have
experienced, was impounded until 2021.
 
Manzi’s rationale is that “impoundment is necessary to protect the best
interests including the privacy interests of the parties’ minor child.

Deleting Dad

Mar 22, 2006
by Kathleen Parker

When New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd asked, “Are Men Necessary?” in the title of her funny book critiquing today’s gender-confused culture, I took the question to be a rhetorical play on E.B. White and James Thurber’s “Is Sex Necessary?”

I wrote in response that, yes, men are necessary, if not to certain women, then certainly to children, who, despite the creative inventions of many modern mothers, seem to love their daddies.
