Public Father/Family Hate Week slated for February 4-9, 1996

by Paul McCauley


The blind, fanatical exploitation of the very serious social ill of family violence by groups like the New York State Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Inc. (NYSCADV) will surface once again during "Stop Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence: Legislative Awareness Day 1996" in Albany, NY, and statewide (T-shirt clothesline project display, included).

This ongoing campaign of misinformation slanders fathers and provides false mind-setting anti-family and father momentum that carries over into both the bills they push into law and the decisions handed down by judges in your courtrooms.

It is a tragedy that people -- children, fathers, mothers and others -- who are truly suffering form genuine personal relationship failings in inherently complicated human affairs are exploited by groups like this and that an appropriate addressing of this historic human problem is being buried in hate generating lies.

Although, according to 1994 U.S. Justice department reports, women kill their children far more often than men, practice gender discriminating violence against boys, kill and attack their spouses about as much and more then men do, while other reports confirm that mothers perform the far greater amount of child neglect and child abuse, family violence by mothers and women is ignored.

Since 1989, world-recognized Domestic Violence authority Murray Strauss has repeatedly written and stated that family violence and its escalation to tragic consequences can be controlled by a woman's restrain in initiating and persisting in attacks.

Please feel free to call the NYSCADV at (518) 432-4864 or the NYSCASA at (518) 434-1580, as well as your legislators and media with your experiences and opinions so that your voice is not buried along with any hope for appropriate and effective family and life saving resolutions of these matters. Unless you speak up for yourself, you cannot expect any improvements.
