Toddler’s hands dunked into boiling water

Woman burns toddler, gets house arrest

By TOM BRODBECK

WINNIPEG — An Ontario judge has handed down one of the most egregious sentences I’ve seen in a long time to a woman who forced a toddler’s hands into a pot of boiling water, causing fourth-degree burns.

For that, Superior Court Justice Helen MacLeod-Beliveau is the latest winner of the Eight-Ball Award, handed out in this column to highlight some of the worst perversions of justice in our [Canadian] court system….(Full Story)

Note by F4L: CNews got the date of the crime wrong in the article.  The crime against the little boy took place in 2007, not in 1997; but the following identifies an additional article about the case.

Mom seeking justice for child victims

Posted By Jeremy Ashley

At times, Damon Reddom Stone is a haunted four-year-old.

Sitting on his mother’s lap Monday, he ran his hands over her fingertips.

“He said, ‘Mommy, I wish I had normal hands like you,’” recalled Tina Reddom this week.

Every so often, she said, her youngster’s mind drifts back to the morning of Oct. 16, 2007 when a 24-year-old city woman — in a fit of supposed rage — forced his tiny hands into a pot of boiling water in the Applewood Drive apartment she shared with her then-boyfriend, Damon’s father.

Damon, who was two at the time, sustained serious burns and will require several surgeries, skin grafts and therapy to treat the wounds….(Full Story)

Sexual Orientation — Nature or Nurture?

It took the American Psychological Association a few years to catch up to the state of the science on sexual orientation, but here is the opinion the APA holds now,

There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay, or lesbian orientation. Although much research has examined the possible genetic, hormonal, developmental, social, and cultural influences on sexual orientation, no findings have emerged that permit scientists to conclude that sexual orientation is determined by any particular factor or factors. Many think that nature and nurture both play complex roles; most people experience little or no sense of choice about their sexual orientation. (Source: APA –Sexuality — Answers to Your Questions For a Better Understanding of Sexual Orientation & Homosexuality)

That removes all doubt, does it not? It is a totally safe opinion that cannot be proved wrong.  Regardless of what sexual orientation one chose or not, it was either nature or nurture that imbued the individual with it.

The only question that now remains is which sexual orientation is the safest and the healthiest.  Choose wisely. (More)

Why Did Feminists Attack The Family?

Definitely worth reading

Why Did Feminists Attack the Family?

The contemporary cultural and political war against the family has several causes, of which feminism is by far the most significant.

‘First-wave’ feminists in the early Twentieth Century were not at all anti-family. Indeed, one of their demands was that control of hearth and home should be the domain of women. Reference.

It was only as a result of second-wave feminism, in the late 1960s, that the feminist attack on the family began. Neil Lyndon, in his 1992 book ‘No More Sex War’, was perhaps the first to trace the origins of second-wave feminist ideology to Marxism….(Full Story)

The economic down-turn and Canada

By Allan Chinnery

It is now official that Canada is in a depression as deep as any that it had been in before.  The Bank of Canada interest rate at 0.25% tells you that they are scared —-less and see no solution to the problem.  However there is a bigger problem.

The smart money, that of judges and lawyers was invested offshore because with Canadas judiciary it is not safe to keep it in Canada.  Such investments lost much of their equity when the banks started going down.  Most notable of interest to members of the Canadian Bar Association would have been UBS and the British banks.

Oh well, that is the nature of the investment game and it had a better chance of survivng there than being raided by Canada’s judges and tax department.  But it is high time Canada came up with a stimulus package for Canada’s divorce industry.

There are rumors floating around among the women of Canada that just stamping their pretty little feet does not add to the national product or in anyway raise the standard of living for Canadians.  What is worse, a few way-out-there females are actually saying it might be possible that Mr. Judge stomping his $400 dollar shoes and blustering about the power of his prison gangs will not produce wealth for anyone in Canada.

These terrible and seditious rumors have caused a serious slowdown in the divorce industry making it almost impossible for the afore-mentioned investors to recoup their losses.  It has been said that there are women in Canada that are working in and outside of the home, maintaining their credit ratings, being financially responsible.  I even heard of one who, for the good of her family, was driving a 5 year old car.

No wonder the auto industry is broken.  As you can see these untruths about how money is made are destroying the whole economy and are putting the judiciary’s credibility and powers into disrepute.

Stevie and the boys should immediately hold a secret meeting on how to infuse millions of dollars into the domestic violence sector to get these heretical ideas from the minds of Canadian women.  Failure to do this will undermine the power of judges blustering and foot stomping as well as perhaps resulting in calluses on the hands of members of the Law Society.

Such things will destroy the Canada that we have known for the last 20 years as it will fall backward in time to a place requiring effort not effect.

Why Men Earn More

The pay gap between what men and women earn continues to be in the news. New legislation that aims at eliminating that pay gap is constantly and repeatedly being put into force.  Yet, as Warren Farrell explained in a 2005 speech at the Cato Institute, there are very good reasons for the pay gap.

The pay gap, where it exists, is due to women’s choices.  On the other hand, when women work just as men do — never marry, don’t have children, work in risky, stressful jobs, as many hours as never-married, childless men work at those jobs — women not only earn equal pay, they earn more than their male counterparts do, more by a considerable margin.

If you are interested in that issue and its causes, watch the video clips identified by the following.

Why Men Earn More
By Bernard Chapin

What follows is a series of video segments from Dr. Warren Farrell’s 2005 speech at the Cato Institute entitled “Why Men Earn More.” I thank Argus Eyes for posting this last fall. A reader reminded me of it the other day. I was not yet writing the daily blog at the time in which it was originally published so I could not link back to it. By the way, if you’re not familiar with Argus Eyes check out some of his other videos and don’t forget to subscribe if you like him. He’s a fine fellow. Here’s Part I: (Full Story)

Help for Battered Men

 The following contains a good and comprehensive collection of information and resources for men who are battered by their wives or girlfriends.  Unfortunately, the web page from which the information is quoted here does not indicate whether the sponsoring organization is still in operation.

That does not mean that the crisis of bettered men does not exist.

Help for Battered Men

Battered Man?

Here’s What You Can Do

Resources for Battered Men

Note: If you have been the victim of domestic violence, please e-mail me and tell me about it. What happened? Did you tell anyone about it? Why or why not? Did you seek help? Why or why not? If you did seek help, did you get it? May we publish your story here? We’ll do it anonymously, unless you give specific permission to use your name and/or e-mail address.Know a man who may be battered? Print out this page and give it to him. Often, it’ll be enough to get him to talk to you about it — if not right away, perhaps in a bit. And talking to another man about it is the first step in healing — in survival.Remember: TV star and comedian Phil Hartman never talked about his marital problems, either, except to joke about having to leave the house when his wife was mad. He told everyone the marriage was wonderful — as so many men do.

What can you do? Talk about it. Too often, men feel a “double shame,” the shame that a battered woman feels, and the “man’s shame” of being beaten up by a woman and being mocked or laughed at for it. Don’t wait until she cuts you open with a kitchen knife. If she’s unreasonably jealous or controlling, if she’s a “control freak,” if she slaps you around or throws things, if she starts to destroy things that are personally important to you, don’t ignore the signs! It’s not going to get any better! Watch out for your own safety!

Note by F4L: The advice offered at that web page includes little, if anything, on what a battered man who is a father may be able to do to protect his children from a violent mother.

As far as intimate partner violence goes, men and women commit such violence in equal proportions, with many researchers identifying that women are violent even slightly more often than men are.

REFERENCES EXAMINING ASSAULTS BY WOMEN ON THEIR SPOUSES OR MALE PARTNERS:

AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY

Martin S. Fiebert
Department of Psychology
California State University, Long Beach
Last updated: September 2008

SUMMARY:  This bibliography examines 246 scholarly investigations: 187 empirical studies and 59 reviews and/or analyses, which demonstrate that women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships with their spouses or male partners.  The aggregate sample size in the reviewed studies exceeds 237,750.

(Full Text)

The difference between perceptions of the frequency of female violence,  such as expressed in the opinions by feminist propagandists and advocacy researchers, and the study reports examined by Prof. Martin Fiebert constitutes the extent of pro-female and anti-male bias held by officials who ignore the scientific evidence of intimate partner violence.

When it comes to violence against weaker and younger victims, women undoubtedly predominate, by far, as the perpetrators of serious and fatal violence against children in families.

In view of those circumstances, it is without a doubt necessary to have as many shelters or refuges for battered men as we have for battered women.  However, the decades-long feminist crusade that paints women as victims and men as violent beasts has preempted that option.

As a result of that, there are no shelters for battered men in Canada and virtually none in any of the other developed nations.  There are most definitely no shelters for battered men and their children that permit children and their fathers at risk to find safety from violent mothers and wives.

Children harmed by sole custody, report says

Children harmed by sole custody, report says

Canadian judges rarely use voluntary arrangements in which kids live with each parent roughly equally

By Susan Pigg, Living Reporter

Family court judges are misguidedly harming children by granting sole custody to one parent - usually the mother - in bitter divorce battles, says a comprehensive new report.[*]

Too many children are being “robbed of the love of one parent” by a legal system that is out of touch with the needs of children and treats them like property to be won or lost, says Edward Kruk, an expert on child custody issues….(Full Story)

AN UNMARRIED HUSBAND:UNWELCOME REALITY

By Stephen Baskerville

–The decline of the family now affects virtually every American and seriously threatens not only social order but freedom and constitutional government. G.K. Chesterton once observed that the family checks government power. He was writing about divorce: Despite other threats to the family, divorce remains the most serious.

Americans would be shocked if they knew what goes on in the name of divorce. Divorce today licenses unprecedented government intrusion, including the power to seize children, loot family savings, and incarcerate parents without trial.

The full implications of the “no-fault” revolution have never been publicly debated. Divorce today seldom involves two people simply parting ways; 80 percent of divorces are unilateral. Under “no-fault,” divorce becomes a power grab by one spouse, assisted by judicial officials who profit from the ensuing litigation: judges, lawyers, psychotherapists, and social workers. Involuntary divorce involves government agents forcibly removing innocent people from their homes, seizing their property, and separating them from their children. It requires long-term supervision over private life by state functionaries, including police and jails….(Full Story)
