Please note, I know that the opposite is true for men as well, men are not the only abusers so I know this goes both ways: This was sent to me in an e-mail, thought I would pass this on.
Hello Stop Family Violence Activists!
On Thursday October 20 at 10 pm ET, PBS will air a shocking documentary that reveals a dark secret of our nations family courts that some domestic abusers also physically and sexually abuse their children, and judges are awarding them custody!
Breaking the Silence: Childrens Stories presents the stories of mothers who lost custody to their batterers and of children who tell the horror of being placed in the custody of parents they have named as their physical and sexual abusers. It exposes the discredited theory of Parental Alienation Syndrome, which claims that mothers brainwash children into saying they are abused, and shows how misinformed and sometimes corrupt judges and lawyers rely on PAS as a basis for awarding custody to abusers.
Please join Stop Family Violence in thanking PBS for bringing this important issue to light.
