Wow 😳. So his parent’s knowingly rented the flat to a group of young women when their son was awaiting trial for rape 🤮🤮🤮🤮.

A reminder that perpetrators of Domestic Abuse manipulate mediators into believing that they are the victim when the safe parent refuses coercive and controlling tactics. Mediators enable Domestic Abuse 🚨
#darvo
#coercivecontrol
#domesticabuse
#mediation
When a perpetrator can no longer directly control the victim, post separation coercive control begins. Litigation abuse, financial abuse,breaching of court custody orders,withholding children’s travel docs and the inevitable smear campaign to recruit enablers 🚩
#domesticabuse
Forcing children into unsafe contact with a perpetrator who has committed domestic abuse is a contradiction of everything we teach children to keep themselves safe 🚩
#familycourt
When judiciary make orders to a safe mother not to “denigrate” the abusive parent they are asking them to lie to their children 🚩. Where appropriate and with support in place children should know why a relationship ended particularly when they reach a certain age. Thoughts?
WHY does the Family Court and agencies who operate in it focus so heavily on breaking the bond between children and the protective parent who so often is the Mother?

Transcripts can be incredibly triggering to victims 💔. Victims are re traumatised by the very people employed to uphold the law & have a right to appeal particularly when there has been abuse of power either from counsel or judiciary 👊🏻. Good luck xx

You are not protected. Social workers lie, Cafcass officers fail to follow the basics and judiciary conduct is at times criminal. The Family Court is a WEAPON of choice for perpetrators of domestic abuse 🚨
@AndrewCicchett1
Perps family members all know. They more often than not witness some level of abuse but will always continue to support and enable the abuser because they are scared of what the perpetrator is capable of 💔
A domestic abuser who beat his own daughter is spared jail and the local authority will not be taking action because she is trauma bonded into defending him 💔.

We report on mothers, victims of domestic abuse, who have died.
We reveal children being forced into contact with Dads reported for abuse.
And hear from Mums who have fled the UK.

Children who witness their mother being abused and in turn are traumatised by their fathers abusive behaviour or violence often alienate themselves from a perpetrator to PROTECT themselves. She is no abuser.
Victims of family court abuse are no longer willing to stay silent

Trauma responses can manifest themselves in different ways. We often speak to victims who laugh at the absurdity of behaviour from perps, counsel and judiciary and then obsess that they won’t be believed due to not presenting as a “perfect” victim 💔

Excellent news. Coercive control against an ex-partner is now covered by the coercive control law in England and Wales.
Now we need to prosecute a heck of a lot more of the high harm, intractable perpetrators.

Threats of defamation from a perpetrators legal firm is becoming increasingly common in the family courts, particularly if an abuser has a public profile 🫠🚩
Victims of violence and abuse should not be charged THOUSANDS of pounds to access transcripts 🚩. Particularly when they are appealing judgements made by judiciary who are failing to protect the most vulnerable and enabling perpetrators 🚩
#familycourt
All court transcripts should be free to all victims in criminal courts & family courts. & they should not be 'vetted' by judges, hearings should be transcribed verbatim by independent transcription companies. This is what we do in research. There is no reason for vetting or fees.
Coming from a force who have repeatedly failed domestic abuse victims with non existent conviction rates 🚩.Side note: narcissistic abusers cannot & do not communicate positively, they thrive on contact and coercive control. Listen to the lived
