Emily would not have suffered the loss of her father for the last five years, or the vision in her right eye, if it weren’t for the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA.) And people like Barbara Grieg of the U.S. State Department who see it as an excuse for misandry and a license for lawlessness.

Hindle, a U.K. citizen met and fell in love with American Sheila Fuith while in New York. When she moved to the U.K. in 2001 she hadn’t mentioned the husband and daughters she’d abandoned. Emily was born in the U.K. on March 1, 2002. At 5-months-old Emily was diagnosed with esotropia caused by amblyopia. She needed patching therapy, a patch worn a few hours each day, or she would lose sight in her right eye.

In February 2003 Fuith decided to leave Hindle and return to the U.S. She knew he would object to her taking Emily, so she did what many women in her position have done. She accused him of domestic violence and sexual abuse of children. Thanks to VAWA, she needed only to speak the words.

Fuith was taken in by a battered women’s shelter, and given free legal aid by the U.S. government. With no evidence and no due process, Barbara Grieg authorized the illegal abduction. The U.S. Embassy in London issued a passport for Emily without her father’s signature as required by law. The forged signature was not notarized, and had the wrong date.

After arriving in the U.S. Fuith stopped Emily’s therapy. She then tried to give Emily away in a “baby switch.” She placed Emily with the family of Leslie Merriam, a three time convicted pedophile in Wisconsin. Karl learned of this and contacted local law enforcement.

Fuith needed only to claim Karl was harassing her, and the baby switch wasn’t investigated. A call to Grieg confirmed that Hindle was “dangerous.” Captain Alan Osowski never looked at Fuith’s phone when she told him numbers from “harassing calls from Hindle.” But he wrote he had in his report.

This was just the beginning of Hindle’s harrowing five-year journey to protect his daughter. Fuith has moved Emily dozens of times through several different states. She’s filed over 100 false police reports. And Hindle has received death threats.

Two police investigations in the UK and three in the U.S. cleared Hindle of all allegations. Fuith was found guilty of coaching Emily and making false allegations. Hindle was given court-ordered reunification with Emily.

Hindle said, “Emily met her elder brother (Max) and sister (Elizabeth) for the first time in almost 3  years…as we walked into the resort hotel, Emily asked me ‘Is this my family ?‘”

They enjoyed these visits, evidenced by these photographs, until Fuith made another false allegation and disappeared. Emily was then listed as missing and endangered.

Knowing all of this, Grieg didn’t just harbor Fuith all these years. She interfered whenever Hindle needed a visa to attend custody hearings, arranged his improper arrest, imprisonment and deportation by the immigration department, and tried to set him up to be arrested for violence. She had officers hiding in bushes while her cronies harassed Hindle. And all the while, during her many lawless and reprehensible actions, she allowed Emily to go blind.

Fuith is still enjoying VAWA-funded legal representation. Recently there was a conference call between Fuith, Hindle, their attorneys and the State Department. During the call Fuith recanted every allegation she has made against Hindle. Even hearing this, the State Department refused to budge. The reason? The allegations the mother has made.

Sheila Fuith is clearly guilty, yet has not received any punishment. Karl Hindle is completely innocent, yet has not been able to see Emily or get custody. Now the State Department wants to send him back to London to apply for a new visa.

Hindle said recently, “I’ve been here for 5 weeks, yet Emily and I have not seen each other. The judge will not enforce his orders, and the mother maintains visitation must take place in Panama City, 350 miles away.  Emily and I last saw each other on May 28th, 2006!”  Hindle is now on his way back to the UK without seeing Emily.

The organization RADAR (Respecting Accuracy in Domestic Abuse Reporting) did an analysis of HRES 590 and found eighteen errors. There is no mention of male victims in HRES 590 whatsoever.

Steven, 61, of northern California told me about the day he left his female abuser fifteen years ago. He said, “I told myself that if it happened again I would let her hit me, to show her that it wasn’t me, holding her arms, leaving a bruise, so she could say we fought.” They were riding in the car and she was agitated. In an attempt to avoid a confrontation he was being careful how he spoke.

This made her even angrier. He described what happened next, “We stopped in her church parking lot, and she slammed her fist, like a hammer, into my face. I thought one hit would do it, maybe two. It was four or five.”

He continued, “She went into the church and I knew, after all the years, it was over. I sat in the car, in the dark, with tears. I starting getting cold and could taste blood. A half hour passed. I thought she would come out crying and apologize. She didn’t.”

“When she did come out of the church she said, ‘well, this time you can say I left marks.’ She had always denied it before,” he said. Steven went to the local safe house, yet after he told the directors what had happened and they saw his split lip and black eye, “they just looked at each other blankly.”

Steven is an ex-cop, a tough guy who lifted weights. He said, “Well, I am a tough guy, but they didn’t know I was suicidal. I taught self-defense. They knew I could kick her ass. They didn’t know that if you love someone you don’t, even if you are a man.”

Steven told me that to be treated as if because you are a man you must have had it coming, and dealing with all the other issues is too much for some men. He explained, “I am the same man who worked with teen girls and boys in two different treatment facilities, wiping away tears, hearing sad stories, taking them to the gym and teaching them to set goals. I am the same guy who worked two years with senior citizens, cleaning drool and dancing with them.”

“I am not perfect, but I am kind. To be going through a suicidal period, dealing with untreated PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and the loss of a lover who was abusive, then to be treated so coldly, while parenting two young kids most of the time as a single father, and to be treated as if the only possibility was that ‘I had it coming’ almost pushed me over the edge,” he said.

Steven said he knows some people will think he’s weak, and he wants them to know after years of abuse at the hands of his mother, it was all he knew. He said he is now happily married to a wonderful woman.

He added, “Men’s hearts and feelings are like women’s hearts and feelings. They feel the same. It doesn’t matter if that heart is covered with muscles or breasts, the pain cuts deeply and the losses crowd in. And it doesn’t matter if the world thinks men don’t feel. You still hurt.”

Two unnamed UK activists from Fathers4Justice scaled the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC today 1:30 pm. Dressed as tourists the activists scaled the memorial by hand before revealing themselves in Captain America and Batman costumes. They then unveiled a banner that read “For the Fathers of the Nation: Fathers 4 Justice has arrived www.F4JUSA.com”The FBI and armed Capitol Police evacuated the memorial, and arrested several ground crew. Some tourists were also arrested during the resulting scuffle.This event starts the Fathers4Justice US campaign.

Press Release - 16th August 2007
Fathers 4 Justice Unveil plans for US Presidential ?Campaign?

Fathers 4 Justice (F4J) today announced plans to run it?s first national ?awareness? campaign in the United States during the Presidential election ­ starting with the primaries and caucuses in Iowa, New Hampshire and California ­a teaser campaign could break as early as this autumn, with a major PR event planned for the Spring of 2008.

Announcing details of the planned campaign at the ?Boys and Boy Crisis? conference in Washington DC last weekend, American author Dr Warren Farrell said that the arrival of Fathers 4 Justice in the United States would create a once in a lifetime opportunity to get fathers issues onto the political agenda.

He said, ?The arrival of Matt O’Connor and Fathers 4 Justice in the United States converges with the timing of the next election and the selection of candidates from each of the parties.?

After a two-hour meeting with Dr Farrell where the plan was hatched, F4J founder O’Connor said, ?There is a fragmented fathers movement in the United States that would, it appears, unify with a common sense of purpose and solidarity to raise awareness of this vital social issue.?

?I have been inspired by the words of Dr Farrell, Dr Baskerville, conference organiser Tom Golden and leading Radio DJ Glenn Sacks, to start work immediately on a battle plan to commence our campaign in the United States at the earliest opportunity.?

F4J say that the plans are at an ?evaluation? stage at the moment, but that with the pre-requisite funding and infrastructure, there was nothing to stop the organisation creating a ?provocative and humorous? campaign within weeks.

Leading social scientist Dr Stephen Baskerville said today, ?With this development, we have a chance to build a fire under this movement.?

It starts with the mainstream media; you won’t find a lot of respect for, or truth about men there. Also, today’s feminist-driven domestic violence laws don’t address the reality of female-perpetrated child abuse, violence, partner aggression or psychological abuse. Battered (even bruised and bleeding) fathers have been arrested after calling the police for help with an out-of-control partner. “Primary aggressor” and “no-drop” policies are part of the problem.

The main problem is that no one is stopping feminists from stripping fathers of their rights. Right now they’re claiming Parental Alienation isn’t real. PA Syndrome hasn’t been declared or denied at this point. I can tell you; there are many fathers, and some mothers, who are victims of parental alienation. I’ve heard from them.

As I waited in line for the Haunted House at Disneyland this weekend, a woman right in front of me was committing parental alienation. She was talking with her children, degrading their father. Not just that, she was looking for agreement. She asked, “He lives near [theme park]; he never takes you there, does he?” Then adding, “He doesn’t even pay for your swim lessons.”

There’s an epidemic of government and society-encouraged misandry going on. Many innocent fathers are being accused of domestic violence by ex-partners in the move to gain full custody of children. Lack of due process in family court means guilty with no chance to prove innocence. Some of these men can never see their kids, ever, others have to see them in jail-like settings, supervized.

These innocent fathers also have to take months, sometimes years of anger-management classes. They have to pay for everything, even the supervized visits. When they go broke they can’t afford to see their own kids. All the while the children are left in the care of the abusive parent. Very few agencies even have classes for female perpetrators.

At the same time, feminist-driven child custody laws don’t address the modern father’s involvement and time in his child’s life. Nor the time children spend in the care of a third party. I watched as feminists and domestic violence “professionals” slandered fathers under oath and stopped California’s 2005 shared parenting bill. They believe men are monsters and are passing laws to restrict fathers from their chidren.

When the general public is asked if they support joint custody 85% say “yes.” Many parents and children have equal and/or shared custody and enjoy it. When advocates from Fathers4Justice and the Children’s Rights Initiative for Sharing Parents Equally (CRISPE) rally outside courthouses* with signs promoting shared parenting, women are the most-likely to honk and give thumbs-up.

I used to think feminism stood for equality. I’ve seen for myself it does not. Someone with a “loud voice” needs to take a look at the facts, someone who doesn’t benefit financially by the outcome. Then they need to use that loud voice to talk louder than the father-haters.

*Fathers4Justice and CRISPE will be rallying outside the William Ridgeway Family Courthouse in Sacramento, California, Tuesday morning, June 12.

Michigan fathers Robert Pedersen and Rob Mackenzie plan on biking more than 600 miles to promote equal shared parenting. This intense multi-day trek starts at the Lansing Capitol on August 11. “The Robs” plan on biking through several states until they reach Washington, D.C. where they will join the Bringing Children and Families Back Together rally on August 18.

Visitors to the Robs’ website will be able to watch the riders via GPS . Video and photos will be uploaded in real-time.

The Robs are looking for volunteers to help with this amazing undertaking. Contact Angela Pedersen, President and Co-Founder at volunteer@achildsright.net
