Product Description
"You can stop but you cannot take it back." This is how a group of children recently invited by the Council of Europe to discuss positive and non-violent parenting expressed themselves about corporal punishment. Regardless of how badly a parent feels afterwards, some wounds may never heal.For the Council of Europe, children are not mini-persons with mini-rights, mini-feelings and mini-human dignity. They are vulnerable human beings with full rights and they need protection which always takes the best interests of the child into account.Banning all corporal punishment, including within the family, in all its 46 member states is a major concern and commitment for the Council of Europe. The foundation for this commitment is provided by the human rights standards set by various legal instruments, including the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (ratified by all member states), the European Convention on Human Rights and the European Social Charter and revised Social Charter. ...

From the supplier: The emotional damages suffered by children who live in abusive households have been largely ignored, especially when custody decisions are being made. However, this is beginning to change with a history of domestic violence considered a factor in custody cases. Mental health services still need to be provided to these children and they should collect damages for the emotional harm. Potential causes of action include bystander emotional distress and marital torts. Law enforcement agencies may also be third-party defendants for damage recovery.

Book Description
"Betrayal of the Child" is Stewart Rein's explosive new book on children's rights, divorce, custody, and fatherlessness. It is, perhaps, the most comprehensive book on the market. It searches out the historical reasons for our present irrational and injust approach to deciding vitally important children's rights issues, cutting across the various disciplines, analyzing cause and effect. The book is loaded with practical information for fathers, including a Father's Guide to the Courts, cases, laws, abduction information, case analysis, expert evidence and shared parenting stategies. It is also a hard hitting, no drawn punches book of rather severe social, legal, and psychological criticism in which Rein lays to rest the old clichued thinking on "maternal attachment" made popular by John Bowlby-explaining that from the child's perspective there exists a "triad" within the family nexus, consisting of dual father-mother-child dyads. ...

Knowledge is Power
There is nothing like developing an understanding when faced with issues in life that only serve to confuse and bewilder. Reading this book has helped me understand what happened to me and my children and why. This in turn has helped me deal with the problem from a better perspective. It has also helped to alleviate some of the frustration simply by having a more complete understanding of the nature of the problem. And although it may have come too late to change my situation, I can still use this powerful information to try to help other fathers not yet divorced gain an awareness of lies in wait for them should they have the misfortune of receiving divorce papers. When warned beforehand, it is a dereliction of a man's duty as a father to fail to read this indispensible book.

All parent's should be made to read this
This book has been an inspiration to me.It points out what happened, why it's bad and suggests how you should proceed.

I beg everyone to read this book.It should make everyone criticize the courts descisions as well as their own beliefs.

Excellent, Straight Information about Critical Issues for men and their children.
I am a divorced Dad and have gone through the Family Court system, unfortunately prior to reading this book. I have raised three children for 13 years; single-handedly and now find myself as an outsider in a custody dispute over my forth child, a 1-year-old son. I must share with anyone (women, men, dads, moms, children) that you must read this book. It is an excellent description of what fathers and their children face in the current Family court climate. Not only describing in a very truthful and non-euphemistic manner the current issues and trends but also how we got here.

One in every two men will face these issues at some point in their lives. However, most are clueless and those that are not clueless, don't seem to care. Even parents (yes, both Moms and Dads) with children who are boys, don't seem to understand just what kind of a position these boys can be in as grown men. How we got here is a sad story of misunderstandings, misbelieves, poor science, poor deduction, and clouded views, but the fact that we are still here despite significant and continually mounting evidence, is truly a shame and one of the biggest, yet "secret" failures, of our society.

If you do not read this book for yourself then read it for your son or any boy that you know will some day be a father.

It's about time.
While being in a city and state that supposedly supports "father's rights", my husband and I are terrified of what we are setting into motion next week- trying to get custody of his daughter.

Despite the fact that his ex is lying about where his child support is going (luckily we have proof), her moving out of state (illegal in this state), changing his daughter's last name, refusing to let her call him "daddy" and the fact that he hasn't seen her in months (those are just the the tip of the iceburg)... there is that doubt. Because she is "The Mother".

It seems that unless a woman is on drugs or a mental institution (actually in a hospital, because meds, or refusal to take them, isn't enough apparently) the father is at the mercy of the mother's every bad day.

So we go, to possibly spend thousands of dollars, just to make the messed up court system acknowledge a beautiful, bright, six year old girl's right to know her father, any new siblings, and her father's extended family. Maybe.

And if this book seems a little "pro-man", and therefor "anti-woman", so be it. There are plenty of "empowering" books for women, why not men?

Children as Fodder in the Downfall of Society
In short, if you don't know the material in this book, you don't know human rights, (including children's rights, men's or father's rights, and women's rights) as it applies in contemporary western society.If you have yet to emancipate yourself from the radical feminist induced mental slavery, you may not be ready for this book.

I've read several highly regarded father and children's rights books, and find this one by far the best.This book makes it apparent why the most staggering human rights violations in the history of the world are being perpetrated by the state and federal governments of the United States and the United Kingdom, in particular, against their own laws and ratified treaties with the United Nations.It is concerned with no less than government coerced self-implosion, using our precious children as fodder by dysfunctional, deviant, and self-appointed misandrists.

Now I finally understand why my children's lives are being ruined and I, as their father, can do nothing to prevent it.My question as to why those sworn to uphold the law in the state of Iowa would intentionally break the law, knowingly ensuring that my children will then be subjected to neglect, and physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, has finally been answered. This book makes it clear why any attempt to protect my children is met with hostility towards me, and additional abuse being forced upon them.And the detrimental lifelong consequences to my children, and to their own descendants, are becoming quite clear.

This book is for anyone truly concerned with children, men, women, our society, our descendants, or our future.Unless you find widespread, state sponsored torture and deprivation to humans desirable, I suggest you purchase and read this great work immediately, and then seriously consider taking action to prevent the downfall of western civilization.

Thank you Stewart, for your great and noble work for children. ... Read more

Book Description

"Children's rights": the phrase has been a legal battle cry for twenty-five years. But as this provocative book by a nationally renowned expert on children's legal standing argues, it is neither possible nor desirable to isolate children from the interests of their parents, or those of society as a whole.

From foster care to adoption to visitation rights and beyond, Martin Guggenheim offers a trenchant analysis of the most significant debates in the children's rights movement, particularly those that treat children's interests as antagonistic to those of their parents. Guggenheim argues that "children's rights" can serve as a screen for the interests of adults, who may have more to gain than the children for whom they claim to speak. More important, this book suggests that children's interests are not the only ones or the primary ones to which adults should attend, and that a "best interests of the child" standard often fails as a meaningful test for determining how best to decide disputes about children.

Traditional views are not always right.
This book is premised on an ancient ideology which insists that parents are like gods to their children and that children are basically property. The guy starts with his premise and then goes on to manipulate statistics and ignore the obvious to promote his beliefs. In many cases in the United States when it comes to cruelty dogs have more rights than kids. Children are defenseless and to say that parents know and love their kids because they are biologically theirs is an incredibly ignorant statement.Their is ample evidence that many parents are incapable of caring for a child. Brutalized children often grow up to be destructive adults. What our society needs is a book on how to deal with this problem realistically, which we have not been doing. In the original 13 colonies killing your child for various reasons including rebellion was legal, is that what we want? ... Read more
