58th Child Rescued!
July 21, 2010 -- LOOK AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE. The number of children rescued from one-parent custody increased today from 57 to 58.
Our FACE member's 14 year old daughter left her mother's house a month ago. She called her Dad, who picked her up and took her to his home 40 miles away in the next county. A FACE representative met with her and told her about how other children had changed their own custody. Today she got to tell the judge that she is afraid of her mother who beats the children if they say they want to see their father, and of mom's alcoholic, druggie, incarcerated boy friend, and wants to stay with her father and his new family. The proverbial last straw was on Fathers Day when, instead of letting the children see their father, mom took them to visit her druggie in jail. The judge also ordered (again!) parenting time with the children for both parents. 14 year old is looking forward to helping her 7 year old sister change her custody too. FACE is looking forward, too, to changing our score to 59.

Bring Fairness Back To Domestic Violence Laws
In her June 19, 2010 article, "A Good Father's Day Gift," national columnist Phyllis Schlafly writes that the "extravagantly expensive and discriminatory" federal Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) has created a bureaucracy that provides shelters and other services only for women, promotes vague legal definitions of domestic violence -- many having nothing to do with violence, and considers all men to be batterers. "Charging domestic violence," she writes, "practically guarantees that a woman will get custody of the children and sever forever the father's relationship with his children even though the alleged violence had nothing whatever to do with any abuse of the children." VAWA, originally enacted in 1992, comes up for reauthorization later this year. Ms. Schlafly suggests this would be a good time to hold balanced hearings aimed at making VAWA gender-neutral, and to "assure men that family courts will accord them constitutional rights equivalent to those enjoyed by murderers and robbers."

The High Price of Restraining Orders
March 30, 2010 -- We all know that the Family Court/ Divorce/ Domestic Violence business is a multi-billion dollar growth industry (that's BILLION with a "B"), and that all those judges, lawyers, psychs, child support people and all the others who feed at the family court trough don't want anyone to do anything that will effect their bloated paychecks. Now, in an article entitled "The High Price of Restraining Orders," Bruce Watson of America Online's Daily Finance website reports that the cost of only the temporary restraining order portion of the Family Court pie is costing all of us $4 Billion per year! Certainly, when the effects of final restraining orders is added (including permanent criminal record, loss of employment in certain professions, lost employment opportunities, defense of falsely alleged violations, etc.), the total cost of restraining orders is far, far higher.

International Men's Day
Friday, November 19, 2010
The first International Men's Day was observed at the Missouri Center for Men's Studies at the University of Missouri – Kansas City in 1994. The first international observance was in Trinidad and Tobago in 1999. It has been recognized by UNESCO since 2001, and is now observed in 32 countries as a day to:
See the official global website: www.international-mens-day.com
... and the Australian site: www.internationalmensday.com
Regardless of these lofty objectives, in the United States, where the stereotype of men is embodied by Homer Simpson, International Men's Day is not widely celebrated and has not received official recognition as a holiday.
FACE'S CHALLENGE TO YOU: How should we celebrate International Men's Day in the United States and particularly in New Jersey?
