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)

Help for Battered Men

April 5, 2009 by Walter Schneider.

 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.

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.

• Are You Battered or Abused?
• Why Men Don’t Do Anything About It
• What You Can Do
• Washington Centers that Serve Men
• Other Centers that Serve Men
• On-line Help and Support
• On-line Pamphlet—Print it out and pass it around!

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.

Escalating child abuse — outcome of systematic social engineering

March 29, 2009 by Walter Schneider.

Here is a link to an article that chronicles the unimaginable cruelty that led to the death of “Baby P”.

The second article identified in the following illustrates that the unimaginable cruelty that led to the torturous death of “Baby P” in the U.K. is the unavoidable consequence of efforts aiming at the planned destruction of the family.

The article identifies that the planned destruction of the family is being implemented through the systematic removal of natural fathers from the lives of their children.

The Salesbury Review (U.K.)
Spring 2009

Baby P and the Child Abuse Industry

Written by Stephen Baskerville

The Baby P killing reveals the child abuse industry at its most cynical. The Soviet-style ineptitude revealed daily is the product not of poor training or underfunding but of the logic inherent in bureaucratic politics.

We have long known what causes child abuse and why children like Baby P die. The vast preponderance of child abuse and child deaths occurs in single-parent homes. Very little abuse takes place in married, twoparent families. London’s Family Education Trust long ago demonstrated that children are up to 33 times more likely to suffer serious abuse and 73 times more likely to suffer fatal abuse in the home of a mother with a live-in boyfriend or stepfather than in an intact family.

Figures from the US Justice Department show that single mothers accounted for 55 per cent of child murders. Shorn of politically correct euphemism, what this means is that the principal impediment to child abuse is a father. ‘Fathers have often played the protector role inside families,’ writes Adrienne Burgess of Fathers Direct. A study in the journal Adolescent and Family Health found that ‘The presence of the father … placed the child at lesser risk for child sexual abuse.’

Yet instead of allowing fathers to protect their children, fathers are forcibly and systematically removed from their homes and children by family courts with the active support of social work bureaucracies….(Full Story)

Violence by proxy: “Marionette Murders”

March 26, 2009 by Walter Schneider.

National Post — Full Comment blog

2008 03 24

“Marionette Murders”

The Stefanie Rengel case reveals a flaw in the way we categorize homicides 

[Stefanie Rengel was a teen-aged girl whom a 15-year-old girl, “M.T.” (the Canadian social engineers, in their successful attempts to turn traditional moral standards upside-down, are convinced that her identity needs to be protected) whom “M.T.” convinced her boyfriend he had to kill another because “M.T.” did not like her, even though she did not personally know Stefanie.]

By Barbara Kay

…although M.T.’s case is particularly puzzling - most women murderers in “love” cases know and hate their victims for what they consider a good reason - her modus operandi is well within a gender paradigm. The crime literature on women who actively incite or tacitly endorse killing by a male surrogate - boyfriends, fathers, brothers - is extensive.

The lesson to be drawn? It is well known that spousal homicides are perpetrated in a two-to-one ratio by men against women. What is not understood is that this ratio has been established using murder statistics that deal only with direct murders. That is to say, if a man kills another man at the behest of the victim’s partner, the crime is registered as a homicide, not as a spousal killing. But in fact it is just as much a spousal killing as if the woman had done it herself, since the actual murderer - just as in the murder of Stefanie Rengel - would not have committed the crime, and has been coerced into it through sexual weakness or the threat of the loss of his relationship to the woman….(Full Story)

Oprah Is Harpo on Violent Women

Oprah Is Harpo on Violent Women

from MND: Your Daily Dose of Counter-Theory by Marc H. Rudov

2009 03 22

She’ll Hit Again

Oprah Winfrey is increasing domestic violence in America. By being Harpo — remaining silent — on the truth about violent women, she unwittingly perpetuates the problem.? Repeatedly excusing women’s culpability and unfairly blaming men only serves to foment this pernicious societal scourge.

On March 19, 2009, Oprah aired an anti-male show about domestic violence (DV), to capitalize on the biggest news story: Rihanna. Oprah holds men totally responsible for both causing and ending DV. Outrageous! Nowhere on her show was mention of all-too-common incidents of female violence such as those involving actress Kelly Bensimon and NFL player Geno Hayes.

Instead, Oprah stridently cautioned her female audience: If he hits, he’ll hit again. Fair enough. Missing from her mantra, though, was: Never hit a man — out of anger, revenge, jealousy, hormone imbalance, or any reason whatsoever! Also absent from Oprah’s show was a reciprocal warning to men: If she hits, she’ll hit again.…(Full Story)

Barack Obama against the boys

March 16, 2009 by Walter Schneider.

WorldNetDaily

March 13, 2009

By Ilana Mercer

Unless there’s been a monstrous misunderstanding, the man is muddled, malevolent, or both.

Barack Obama has just signed “an Executive Order creating the White House Council on Women and Girls. The mission of the Council will be to provide a coordinated federal response to the challenges confronted by women and girls and to ensure that all Cabinet and Cabinet-level agencies consider how their policies and programs impact women and families.”

Under the rubric of this Council, feral, (mostly) female bureaucrats will “ensure that agencies across the federal government, not just a few offices, take into account the particular needs and concerns of women and girls. The Council will begin its work by asking each agency to analyze their current status and ensure that they are focused internally and externally on women.”

Barack, however, has it backward: It is boys, not girls, who lag behind – and have for decades….(Full Story)

No-contact order with girlfriend keeps man out of his own house

By TONY BLAIS, SUN MEDIA

EDMONTON — In a bizarre case before the courts, an Edmonton man has been forbidden from going to his own home while his girlfriend - whom he has told to get out - is still living there.

Todd Shandro, 36, went before a judge yesterday to try to resolve the situation, but he was told there were jurisdictional issues and he has to take the matter to civil court.

“It’s very sick what is happening here,” said a frustrated Shandro. “I am the sole owner of the house. The mortgage and title are in my name and she is essentially a squatter….(Full Story)

Violent Women Redux

February 12, 2009 by Walter Schneider.

The following are excerpts from and links to a few articles on the subject of violent women.

Quote 1:

…Miss Laframboise neatly turns the MacKinnon ravings (such as “Compare victim’s reports of rape with women’s reports of sex. They are a lot alike”) upside down by comparing them with “flesh and blood” reports in the Landers column. The latter run the behavioral gamut. Some men behave badly; some are criminal abusers; others behave honourably. Still others write to praise their mothers, wives and daughters, and are praised by them. Since Miss Dworkin has stated that any woman who enjoys sexual relations with a man is a “collaborator,” and Miss Faludi believes that any man who wants to be a “good provider for his family” really intends only to oppress his wife, it’s doubtful they will accept such testimony.

The book takes aim at the studies NACSOW and other government agencies use to “prove” that Canadian men are engaged in a “war against women.” To back the claim that 29% of women have been assaulted by spouses, Statistics Canada included those who have been “grabbed” during an argument (a deplorable action but hardly a vicious one). The Panel on Violence went StatsCan several steps better by discovering that 98% of women have been assaulted. “Since obscene phone calls qualified as ‘violence’,” Miss Laframboise comments, “it’s surprising that the total wasn’t 100 percent.”

The results have been skewed, she charges, by such techniques as surveying unrepresentative populations (residents of battered women’s shelters), and extrapolating to the general population. Moreover, for the data to mean anything, women’s experiences had to be set beside men’s. Therefore StatsCan conducted a two-part study, but then refused to publish the figures on male victims of female violence. A shocking 17.8% of men “admitted to behaving in a ‘violent’ manner toward their spouses.” But so did 23.3% of women, and 6.2% acknowledged actually “beating up their partner” - compared to 2.5% for men….

Debunking Domestic Violence Statistics

The following is a copy of a letter written by Eeva Sodhi in response to a Globe and Mail article, 2002 02 23:

The Globe and Mail: Child-welfare time lost on paperwork, report says
By SIMON COOPER INVESTIGATIONS UNIT
[A summary of the article is appended —WHS]

The article bemoans the lack of social services workers in Ontario, for which reason violence against women, so it is alleged, cannot receive the full attention it deserves from the government of Ontario.

Sir,

The problem is not that there are insufficient numbers of social workers. Rather, it is the allocation of those resources. What is needed is to re-educate social workers and reassign their priorities.

It is of grave concern that the entire, and I mean entire, emphasis now is on the so-called family/domestic, etc. violence, which in the social worker lingo means “violence against women”. Children are linked as appendices to women and only receive attention when they can be used as propaganda tools.

Though the scientific community now has to admit that females are at least as violent as males, even if they may express it in a slightly different manner, often perpetrating their acts of aggression by proxy, all counselling is based on William Glasser’s Reality Therapy.

    Men’s therapy groups - to stop the violence that exists in relationships between men and women. Therapists use a discussion format to explore men’s violence in relationships and to propose non-violent alternatives for solving problems. Responsibility for one’s actions and consequence of choice are emphasized.

Women’s therapy groups - to increase women’s understanding of violence between partners and to provide them with strategies for protecting themselves against that violence. Therapists encourage open and frank discussion about past violence and explore methods of avoiding violence in the future.

The Ontario government spends $145 million [a year] in direct contributions to combat violence against women, yet there is no evidence to support the hypothesis that we are in the grips of an all out epidemic of wife beatings and homicides. Rather, all the available data point to the other direction: women are the aggressors, not the aggrieved, especially when it comes to child abuse, often fatal.

Last but not least,

Violent women

It is a good thing that not all women are violent, but many women are.

It is a good thing that not all men fight back when women attack them, but some men do. They sometimes live to fight back. If men do fight back, they will live to regret that they did.

In our society it is alright for a woman to attack a man. It is never alright for a man to defend himself against an attacking woman.

If it does not sit right with you that there is never an excuse for men to fight back against a woman, you better have a look at the video accessible a bit farther down….(Full Story)
