Alec Baldwin on Parental Alienation

I am not a particular fan of Alec Baldwin, the actor, and especially the political activist. However,  there is one thing both of us have in common… alienation of our children.

Here is the part of his interview on CNN where he speaks on the subject.

Here is another video in which Dr.Sylvia Gearing provides tips on how to recognize PAS Continue reading

Spam is spam… even when it comes from lawyers.

I have to admit, moving from Phpnuke to WordPress was a true Godsend. No more dealing with incompetent coding causing constant site hacking and hijacking, no more dealing with  hundreds of spam “comments” and guest posts on the site.

WordPress is a completely different (and beautiful) “animal”, and since the move, I’ve had no regrades. None what so ever.  The included Akismet anti-spam module makes my life oh-so-easy and peaceful.  I have not realized until recently, how easy and peaceful (considering, the whole “minor” experience of losing my own children to their mother/abductor) my life has become. No more site restores, no more midnight hacking to my database, to remove zillions of records of spam. Yahooo0000 !!!!

Lately, I have been reminded, that people only contact folks who fight for different causes, create free tools, only when things go wrong, so they can complain.  When things are fine, NOBODY, or very few, bother to thank the guys in trenches, fighting for our causes, providing so many amazing freebies.

Hence, I would like to remedy my own failing in the “thanking department”, and do so to all WordPress creators and contributors for their outstanding work.

Your hard work is providing this incredible tool for millions, as it simplifies web publishing, no matter how trivial the content may be, no matter how inexperience the users can be.

Thank you very much, indeed.

Having said all of that, now, to the subject at hand – spam from lawyers and others. Continue reading

Youtube documents fathers’ abuse by family courts in Europe

As I started this web site few years ago, I promised myself not ever to turn international abductions into fathers rights issue. I am not going to turn back on this promise, since I made few mothers victimized by this crime.  However, one cannot ignore a simple fact, that in all European courts (and way to many American), fathers have no, or very little, chance to fight for custody, or even fair access to their children after divorce.

2008 US State Department Compliance Report is out.

My last story was on the 2007 Compliance (or rather lack of) Report on Hague Convention Cases prepared by the US State Department. I didn’t realize (the time flies so fast) that the 2008 report was about to be released. Well, I found it today on the State Department web site.

As expected Poland as usual was listed in the top of shame list of countries with a pattern of non-compliance. What does need to do to qualify in such a distinction? Well, the country (such as Poland) has to fail in 2 out of 3 compliance areas:

1. Central Authority performance

2. Judicial performance

3. Law Enforcement performance.

It is almost impossible to fail all free (as the report concludes), and Honduras was the only country that was able to achieve that kind of “excellence” in lawlessness. Continue reading

2006 United States Report on Hague Convention Compliance

The latest report published by the U.S. Department of State was issued in April of 2007. Poland was listed as one of 7 countries demonstrating pattern of noncompliance (one step below the “grand prize winner” of this report – Honduras.

In secion about Poland the U.S. State Department writes: Continue reading
