AMPP is a social movement seeking justice and accountability within the family court system which includes DHHS/CPS, psychologists and other so called experts.
We as mothers demand CITIZENSHIP and our Rights to our Children.
We demand that our children not be used as pawns by our abuser in a custody dispute.
We demand that Mothers and Children be equally protected against court ordered visitation with an abuser.
We demand that Mothers and Children be given the same rights, privileges and voice that the abuser gets in family courts!
We demand that our President take action now as can no longer afford to be silent and we won’t.
We demand the same "rights and freedoms" to which all humans are entitled.
Behind the closed doors of the dirty little secret of the family court system, thousands of women each year lose child custody to violent men who beat and abuse Mothers and Children.
Family courts are not family-friendly and betray the best interests of the child. Until Mothers and Children's voices are heard we will never shut up, give up or go away!

Ten dead in three murder-suicides across South Florida

Sun Sentinel and The Palm Beach Post
9:16 a.m. EDT, September 28, 2010
Three murder-suicides rocked South Florida on Monday and left 10 people dead.
Six were killed in a domestic murder-suicide in Riviera Beach before sunrise.
Hours later, it happened again in Lauderdale Lakes, with two dead.
The killings began shortly before 2 a.m. in Riviera Beach, as Natasha Whyte-Dell was surrounded by her seven children in their house near a cemetery.
Patrick Alexander Dell — whose growing anger and increasingly violent behavior has been chronicled in court records and police reports for the past three years — forced his way inside and started shooting. When Dell, 41, was finished, Whyte-Dell, 36, and four of her children were dead, according to city police, neighbors, relatives and friends. A fifth child lay bleeding from a gunshot wound to the neck but survived.
The two remaining children, a 1-year-old boy and a 3-year-old girl whom Dell had fathered with his wife, were left unharmed.
Dell walked outside about 2 a.m., just as a police car pulled up to the house, put the gun to his head and shot himself dead, punctuating the worst mass murder-suicide in Palm Beach County's history.
"She was scared for her life," said Barbara Williams, a relative of Whyte-Dell's who used to help around the harried mother's busy house. "I told her to be careful because he had just gotten a gun. He finally did what he said he was going to do."
The couple, both born in Jamaica, married in Palm Beach Gardens in October 2006. Their problems began soon after.
In April 2008, Whyte-Dell asked a county judge for a restraining order against Dell, citing abusive behavior. She said Dell would yell and swear at her and that her then-13-year-old son, Ryan Barnett, would try to intervene.
"I had to get between him and my son," Whyte-Dell wrote in the petition, which ultimately was granted. "I am really afraid for myself and my children. I do not know what my husband will do next."
Whyte-Dell filed for divorce three times between 2007 and 2008 but voluntarily dismissed each case. Still, their relationship deteriorated until December 2009, when Whyte-Dell told police that Dell attacked her with a knife.
On Sunday night, people in the neighborhood said, Dell was drinking. One man said the jealous husband was overheard in a restaurant saying he was going to kill his family. Before 2 a.m., he made his way to his former Riviera Beach home at 1225 W. 30th St., pushed inside and started shooting, police said.
He killed Whyte-Dell and Daniel Barnett, 10, Jevon Nelson, 11, Diane Barnett, 13, and Bryan Barnett, 14. Daniel and Jevon were students at Bethune Elementary School. Diane went to Howell Watkins Middle. Bryan was a freshman at Palm Beach Gardens High.
Dell wounded Ryan Barnett, 15, who was in critical but stable condition in St. Mary's Medical Center, hospital officials said.
Hours later came another shooting, this one outside a Lauderdale Lakes home in the 4500 block of Northwest 32nd Court.
A woman recently moved to South Florida from the Philadelphia area in an attempt to flee an abusive relationship. Her ex-lover, though, found her and killed her Monday outside the house where she was staying, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office.
The woman was found dead on a bench beneath the home's carport, and the man's body lay on the ground beneath her, said Sheriff's Office spokesman Mike Jachles.
Early Tuesday, the woman was identified as Lena Mitiledessalines, 39. The man's name has not been released but he was 47, according to BSO.
Mitiledessalines had a 12-year-old daughter who was not at home at the time of the shooting, and a college-age son or daughter who attends school out of state, the Sheriff's Office said.
Three others who were inside the home were unharmed.
Shortly before 5:30 p.m., Broward sheriff's deputies called to a Tamarac home for a welfare check discovered a married couple dead inside.
The husband had sent a letter to an out-of-state relative warning that he intended to kill himself and his wife. According to sheriff's officials, the husband wrote that by the time the relative received the letter, it would be too late.
The gruesome find in the 7000 block of Northwest 106th Avenue was the third murder-suicide in the region in less than 24 hours.

Enraged man kills estranged wife, 4 stepchildren
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100927/ap_on_re_us/us_florida_murder_suicide
RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. – A man who terrorized his estranged wife for months, threatening her with a knife and telling her she would end up in the morgue, killed the woman and four of his stepchildren during a middle-of-the-night rampage, police said Monday.
Patrick Dell, 41, and his wife, 36-year-old Natasha Whyte-Dell, had been going through a bitter divorce, and it appears he targeted her and his stepchildren, police said. However, Dell spared his biological 1- and 3-year-old children. A fifth stepchild, 15-year-old Ryan Barnett, also was shot in the house but was expected to survive.
Friends and neighbors said Whyte-Dell time after time took the man back — even though he had installed cameras to keep an eye on her and stalked her when she went to work and nursing school. She filed a restraining order against him in May after learning he was trying to get a gun.
The horror that unfolded around 2 a.m. Monday was the culmination of a lengthy dispute that came to a head Dec. 20, when Whyte-Dell said her husband came after her with a knife, slashed her tires and scratched an "X" into the concrete driveway.
He made a particularly chilling threat: "You will be going to the morgue," he told her, according to a police report. "Your family is going to cry today."
After that incident — five days before Christmas — Whyte Dell told police she feared for her life. Dell was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and criminal mischief. But he was released hours later without bond, said Riviera Beach Police spokeswoman Rose Ann Brown.
The Department of Children and Families investigated after the knife attack, but closed the case in February without removing the children, spokeswoman Elisa Cramer said.
Still, time after time, friends said Whyte-Dell took her husband back, hoping things would get better.
"She was supposed to stay away from him," Lydia Smith, a friend of the victims, said Monday as she stood in front of the crime scene crying. "He was extremely jealous, obsessive and possessive."
Dell seemed paranoid, a neighbor said, always thinking someone was against him. On Sunday, while he was at a club, he was asked to leave after making a drunken threat.
"He was talking about chopping up somebody," said neighbor Keisha Gordon, 30.
Gordon said she left the club with Dell and went to a nearby park, the last place Gordon saw him before the shootings.
A police officer was checking a suspicious vehicle around 2 a.m. when he heard what sounded like muffled gun shots, Riviera Beach Police spokeswoman Rose Anne Brown said. When officers approached the home, Dell went outside and shot himself, she said.
Inside the home, officers found the bodies of the woman and her four children: 10-year-old Daniel Barnett; 11-year-old Javon Nelson; 13-year-old Diane Barnett; and 14-year-old Bryan Barnett.
The small home where the killings happened was a popular hangout for neighborhood kids, who loved using the front-yard basketball hoop and closeness to a trim cemetery across the street that often was used as a park. Just a few doors down sits an immaculate red-brick church.
On Monday, a silver chain-link fence had been tangled with yellow crime-scene tape. A black mailbox was on a post outside with a single balloon in the shape of a red heart tied to it.
Neighbors said gunshots had become an all-too-common sound in the area. Jeanette Walker, a 56-year-old hairstylist who lives nearby, said she thought nothing of the gunfire because she heard no sirens.
"They over there shooting at each other again," she remembered thinking.
Mom denied direct contact with son in 12-year-old custody dispute (Fort Worth, Texas)
By Melody McDonald
FORT WORTH -- Standing outside a Tarrant County courtroom with tears in her eyes, Anna Weber expressed mixed emotions Monday after hearing that the 12-year-old custody fight with her ex-husband over their son was finally over.
The judge ruled that Weber can't have direct contact with her son, now 13, but she can watch him grow up from a distance.
"If he has a school play or a band concert, or whatever, I can go as long as I don't confront him," Weber said. "... It had to come to an end. We could fight for the rest of our lives. I'm sad, so sad, but I'm also relieved."
Weber's ex-husband, Todd, was not there when the case was finalized, but his attorney, John Groce Jr., said Todd and his son are also glad that the ordeal is over.
"You can imagine that this has put a lot of stress on the child -- just knowing that this is going on," Groce said. "... And Todd is just ready to get on and live his life. ... He has paid close to $300,000 in legal fees for all of this, which has about broke his back."
The Star-Telegram first published an article about the custody fight in August to illustrate the extremes to which parents will go in cases involving children.
Neither the child nor Todd is being fully identified to protect the child's identity. Weber, however, asked that her full name -- Anna Jansen Weber -- be published so that her son will be able to contact her someday if he wants.
"I hope that, eventually, he will see that he needs me in his life and that he has another side of a family who wants to love and support him," Weber said. "I've never stopped loving him and I will always be here. ... And the main thing I want him to know is that I'm not who his father has portrayed me to be."
Accusations
Since their separation in 1998, Weber and Todd, both of Grapevine, have been in and out of Judge Randy Catterton's 231st District Court, fighting over visitation, parental rights and attorney's fees. Todd has accused Weber of abusing drugs and having mental issues. Weber has accused Todd of being narcissistic and poisoning their son to think she is the enemy.
Each claims that the other has repeatedly violated the judge's orders.
According to court documents and interviews, Todd won custody of their son eight years ago and petitioned the court to allow Weber only supervised visits after she became addicted to prescription pain pills after minor surgery. Weber said the supervised visits were heart-wrenching, and she decided to stop them for a time and work on getting herself together.
In 2006 -- after undergoing therapy, remarrying and having another child -- Weber turned back to the courts in hopes of being reunited with her son.
The judge ordered everyone to undergo reintroduction therapy with a psychologist so the child could gradually be refamiliarized with his mother. But Todd was uncooperative and cancelled appointments, according to the psychologist's notes in the case file.
Meanwhile, Todd accused Weber of refusing to take court-ordered drug tests and failing to complete a court-ordered 12-step program.
Still, in the midst of all the tears and rage, Todd and Weber entered into an agreement in which they decided that, if their son, after therapy with a psychologist, didn't want to have a relationship with his mom, each side would dismiss their claims.
Todd wouldn't try to terminate her rights, and she would not pursue visitation.
But the court-ordered psychologist discontinued sessions after Todd and his son were uncooperative, and a new social worker was appointed.
In July, that social worker wrote to the judge, saying the child "feels very certain that he wishes to have no contact with his mother."
"He is calm and reasoned in this statement," the social worker wrote. "He recognizes that she is his mother, and always will be, and does not rule out the possibility of getting to know her as an adult. However, until that time he would prefer to have her 'out of my life.'"
Final order
On Monday, Groce wanted Catterton to sign a final order that would preclude Weber from receiving information about her son, access to his medical or school records, the right to attend school or extracurricular activities, or to consent to his medical treatment during an emergency.
Weber's attorney, Sam Boyd, meanwhile, asked the judge to give reintroduction therapy another shot and proposed a less-restrictive order.
In the end, Catterton signed a final order that prohibits Weber from having direct contact with her son -- unless he invites it -- but allows her access to his records and to attend his public activities, among other things.
Groce, who was hired this year after Todd's longtime attorney withdrew, said he has never seen a similar case in his 15 years of practice.
"I got in on the end of it, but just reviewing the records and the things that happened in this case, it is beyond me how this was allowed to go on," he said. "... I can't say that it's the court's fault or the attorneys' fault that it has been allowed to go for so long, but it's just been crazy how that has happened."
Boyd, who has been working pro bono since December because Weber and her family can't afford him anymore, said he hopes that the parties can move forward.
"There are some things that just have to be finished -- and this was one of them," he said.

This is really hard to believe. I am sitting in a room filled with women who were beaten, and violated in terrible ways. The room is not in Bosnia, or some far flung third-world hell-hole. This is in the UNITED STATES! A GENOCIDE

Many of the women around me are sobbing now, as a child tells her story. “My father beat me” she begins. Well, she is not a child now actually, but she is a child to me. She is a poised, attractive young woman named Jennifer Collins [2] who is a survivor of child abuse and of a Child and Family Court System that betrayed her and her brother, just as it betrays children across this country every day when it orders children to live full time with an abusive parent. I know you do not believe me. And that makes me realize that this is the experience that these women who surround me have all had. No one believes them. No one believes this can happen. [3] But it does. Sometimes this happens despite voluminous evidence, eyewitnesses and medical records that the child has been beaten, even raped and sodomized by a parent seeking custody. Sometimes the courts do this even if the parent seeking custody has been convicted of, or admitted to domestic violence or sexual assault. I know you don’t believe me. But you would believe Jennifer if you were here. It is a strange world in Child and Family court. For instance, even as much energy in the wider world goes into efforts to make certain that sex offenders have no access to children, that they can’t live near a school and walk near a playground, in this odd little corner of our judicial system, courts routinely order children to “reunite” with a sexual predator parent who hurt them. All in the name of “family re-unification”.
Jennifer tells us about her mother Holly and her dad. He was a batterer who beat Holly. And he beat the children. Jennifer moves her story along quickly to the day when her older brother, then about 4, tried to intervene as dad was beating mom. Dad threw the son against the wall and fractured his skull. There is much more. But I will move the story along quickly to what happens when Holly finally decided to leave this man who beat her and the children. She fled that terrible house, only to find herself in house of mirrors. The Child and Family Court system. It is almost as if none of the people who run the Child and Family Court system ever read about or learned a single thing from sad saga of the Catholic Church’s sexual abuse scandal. It’s like they never heard about how victims of physical or sexual abuse are often silenced by their own sense of shame. How their terrible stories can sometimes finally come pouring out in torrents. It may be years later, but it is no less true. This is not theory. This is fact. We have all watched these sad dramas on the 6 O’clock news. But, uniquely in Child and Family Court, if allegations of physical or sexual abuse are raised during a divorce where custody is an issue, the allegations are used, not against the perpetrator, but against the victim. There is this invented thing, a bit of junk science called “Parental Alienation Syndrome”. It basically says that any time a woman raises the issue of physical or sexual abuse, of herself or the children in the midst of a custody dispute, she is just trying to make the man look bad and make the children hate him. She must be lying.
The thing a real court would do when this happened is to consider all the evidence, and talk to all the witnesses. Witnesses like the children. They were after all, there when “it” happened. This is what a court would do if a stranger were accused of beating them. Or raping them. But this is not what the Child and Family Court system does. Jennifer, the survivor, tells us of the day the representative of the court came to take her away from her mother and take her to live at her dad’s. How she clung desperately to her mother’s leg, until they pried her fingers loose, lifted her up, carried her away, and compelled her to live with the man who would beat her. Jennifer tells us how her mother, desperate beyond all measure, kidnapped the children, spirited them away to the Netherlands, where they became the first Americans to be granted asylum. How she lived in a refugee camp, with refugess from Somalia and Sierra Leone, people who had to learn how to use toilets and forks. How this was better than “home”. This was a step up. She was with her mom. Jennifer lived in exile for 14 years. She finally “aged out”. The court has no jurisdiction now. And so Jennifer had the freedom to come home, to America, to this room where I sit, surrounded by women who are now weeping with joy and cheering for Jennifer’s mom for being so brave and for Jennifer for telling her story to this room full of people who know her story is true. Because the same thing happened to them. So they believe her. I believe her, too.

Slain kids' mom tells of abusive marriage Court papers detail alleged violence by children's father before their deaths
‘Hat tip’ to Annie for commentray:
Do all the abuse defending lawyers call the protective moms "self-serving"?
GAL says that joint custody didn't work out - guess not because the kids are dead.
Also, for all the lawyers who claim that the kids are ok because they managed to get back to their mom "unbruised", it goes to show that it means nothing.
In her petition for divorce, Martinez requested sole custody of the children and sought damages for expenses, mental suffering and anguish.
In his response to his wife's suit, Goher denied her "gratuitous and self-serving allegations" and rejected her request for sole custody. He said that Martinez had committed acts of violence against him and the children, and asked the court to order Martinez to pay his attorney's fees and costs.
After a March 9 court hearing, Martinez and Goher were given temporary orders for joint custody of the children. Goher and Martinez were prohibited from contacting each other, or removing the children from Harris County. The children's passports were confiscated. Goher was granted unsupervised visitation with the children every weekend. The rest of the time, the children lived with their mother at the An-Nisa Hope Center shelter.
"The presumption in family law is joint custody; you have to overcome that to deprive the father of his visitation rights," said Syed Izfar, the amicus attorney appointed to assist the court with issues related to the children. "The legal presumption is that children benefit from nurturing and care of both parents. In this case it didn't work out, that's true, but that's the presumption of the law."

HOUSTON CHRONICLE
Sept. 27, 2010, 8:02AM
Norma Martinez said her husband was drunk when he chased her into their daughter's bedroom in May 2006, threatening to shoot her if she didn't tell him the name of the man who asked her out.
"I told him no one had asked me out," Martinez said in an affidavit she later filed in support of a protection order against her husband, Mohammad Goher.
Goher handed her the gun and told her to shoot him, but Martinez took the bullets out instead, she said. He responded by pulling her hair and punching her on the arms and stomach, she added.
Goher was convicted of assault of a family member and placed on deferred adjudication.
The 47-year-old Harris County man now faces capital murder charges in the deaths of the couple's three children. He is accused of shooting son Saeed, 12, and daughters Saeedah, 14, and Aisha, 7, on Sept. 19 as they slept in his apartment.
Court documents obtained by the Houston Chronicle detail Martinez's allegations that her husband physically, emotionally and verbally abused her throughout their 15-year marriage. She said Goher "has thrown objects, broken things, spit at me, pulled my hair, pushed and shoved me, grabbed me, slapped me, and threatened me with a weapon." Several times, Martinez said, he'd threatened to kill himself and kill her, including incidents in July and August 2008, when Goher allegedly tried to strangle her and pointed a Chinese sword at her.
In September 2008, Goher accused her of having an affair with his friend, Martinez stated in the affidavit.
Goher "told me I had to clean his name, that I had to take his gun and go kill this man," Martinez said. She said Goher made her sit right next to him so he would know where she was at all times.
"When I walked away to use the restroom, I had to tell him where I was going," she said. "I left the house the next day."
About two months later, Goher took the children and refused to let her talk to them, Martinez said.
Threats to take children
Martinez described expletive-laced phone calls and voice mails between December 2008 and February 2009 in which Goher allegedly called her names, accused her of running off with drug dealers, threatened to shoot her, and told her she'd never see the children again.
"The children were supposed to be in Pakistan temporarily to study the Koran and then come back here, or we were going to go to Pakistan to live with them," Martinez said in the affidavit.
Martinez's divorce petition, dated Feb. 5, includes copies of correspondence between Martinez and her legal advocate and the State Department, begging authorities to help locate her children in Pakistan.
Martinez said she hadn't spoken to her children since November 2008. That month, officials from the U.S. Consulate in Karachi had conducted a welfare visit at her request to check on the children, who were living at an apartment with Goher's parents in the Garden West neighborhood of Karachi.
Consular officials sent Martinez a letter recounting the visit on Nov. 25, 2008. Officials had only been allowed to talk to the children for 15 to 20 minutes. They were living in a three-room apartment with 10 or 12 people in a lower-middle-class neighborhood. All three children were clean and well-dressed, but their grandmother maintained control of the conversation and did not allow photographs.
"The children were not communicating, especially the eldest," a consular official wrote in the letter to Martinez. "They sought the grandmother's approval before answering any questions."
Not long after the welfare check, Martinez said she received a phone call from her daughter from an unknown number. She said her daughter told her that she and her two siblings had been moved to another location.
"My daughter also asked me to come get her — I was very fearful to hear this," Martinez wrote in a letter to the State Department's Office of Children's Issues on Jan. 12.
"You previously informed me that my children were not considered missing because I had their location in Karachi, Pakistan - but they are now missing!" she wrote. "They have been missing for almost a year now."
Traveled to Pakistan
She asked officials to help her find her the children and requested that they be added to databases for missing children.
"I implore that your office move forward with my case," she wrote. "Every day of not knowing where my children are or how they are doing is devastating."
A desperate Martinez traveled to Pakistan with Bibi Khan, the president of An-Nisa Hope Center, a Harris County shelter and advocacy group for Muslim women.
"If you had seen the way she cried, and if you had seen the way she was begging to see her kids again, I think you, too, would have said, 'OK, I'm going to go to Pakistan to help her find her kids,'" Khan said.
Khan said she helped Martinez scour the area in Karachi where her husband's parents had been living, interviewing neighbors for clues.
"We had to go to each school to see if they were there," Khan said. "You can imagine how many schools there are in Karachi. The only lead we had was her husband's family made her older daughter wear the veil."
Martinez finally reunited with her children at her lawyer's office in Houston, after she filed for divorce from Goher in Harris County's 312th District Court. He brought them back to the U.S. in time for a hearing in March.
"She hadn't seen them in a long time so there were hugs and tears and joy that they were back together again," said Martinez's attorney, Sandra Peake. "They were very, emotional and they were very happy and they just started talking and hugging almost as if they weren't sure that that was mom."
Sought sole custody
In her petition for divorce, Martinez requested sole custody of the children and sought damages for expenses, mental suffering and anguish.
In his response to his wife's suit, Goher denied her "gratuitous and self-serving allegations" and rejected her request for sole custody. He said that Martinez had committed acts of violence against him and the children, and asked the court to order Martinez to pay his attorney's fees and costs.
After a March 9 court hearing, Martinez and Goher were given temporary orders for joint custody of the children. Goher and Martinez were prohibited from contacting each other, or removing the children from Harris County. The children's passports were confiscated. Goher was granted unsupervised visitation with the children every weekend. The rest of the time, the children lived with their mother at the An-Nisa Hope Center shelter.
"The presumption in family law is joint custody; you have to overcome that to deprive the father of his visitation rights," said Syed Izfar, the amicus attorney appointed to assist the court with issues related to the children. "The legal presumption is that children benefit from nurturing and care of both parents. In this case it didn't work out, that's true, but that's the presumption of the law."
Given visitation rights
After the court issued the temporary custody orders in March, Martinez's attorney did not oppose Goher's visitation rights, Izfar said.
Peake expected to request continued joint custody at a divorce mediation scheduled for Sept. 24.
In the absence of specific threats against the children, there was no reason to think Goher was anything but a loving father, Peake said. "I thought that (Martinez) would be more at risk than they were," she said.
"How would you know that he would shoot three kids in the head or however he shot them?" Peake said. "They've been going over there and they've been coming back and they're not bruised and the amicus doesn't seem to have any concerns."
The children never expressed any fear of their dad, Izfar said. "They did say that he was trying to pressure them into staying with him. ... I said, 'Do you want to go visit your dad, or do you want to stop visitation?' One and all said, 'No, we do want to go visit him.' "
"I don't know what happened," he said. "I wish I knew."
Goher's divorce attorney, Fel E. Tabangay, declined to comment without instructions from his client, who was listed in fair condition at Ben Taub General Hospital, where he is recovering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Victim's Husband Had Violent Past, Threatened Her With Knife Neighbor Says Man Accused Of Killing Wife, Stepchildren Filled With Rage

RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. -- Police records reveal that Patrick Dell was arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a weapon five days before Christmas 2009 after his wife and a friend called 911 in a panic, saying he was trying to kill them.
Dell recently moved out of the family home in Riviera Beach, where police said he fatally shot estranged wife Natasha Whyte-Dell and his four stepchildren before killing himself early Monday morning.
According to the December 2009 police report, Dell and Whyte-Dell were separated after Dell accused his wife of infidelity with neighbors.
Shawana Habershann, a neighbor of the couple, told WPBF 25 News' Terri Parker that she was standing in the doorway of her home talking to Whyte-Dell when her husband came around the corner and charged them with a knife.
"I've never seen (no one) in a rage like that," Habershann said.
Habershann said the women ran inside the house and locked the door while Dell carved an X into the concrete driveway and slashed all four tires of Whyte-Dell's car.
According to the report, Dell told his wife, "Your family is going to cry today," and "You will be going to the morgue."
Dell was arrested, but Habershann said his wife forgave him the next day. It was just one of many times she took him back after a violent encounter, she said.
"She always said, 'That's my husband and I love him and I'm going to get him some help,'" Habershann said. "That's what she always told me."
A judge ordered Dell to undergo a mental evaluation, but Habershann said she didn't think he ever had one. Habershann said she regrets that she wasn't able to convince her friend that Dell was dangerous.

It isn't the economy, it's lack of stopping the problem by jailing these guys and not letting women get away with their kids. They can thank Fatherhood programs and other such training programs like the AFCC for teaching the courts to blame the women and not allow them to leave.

"Hurting people hurt people," said Vera Johnson, who operates the New Start Family Life Skills facility in Saline County. "They're not all monsters. They are people who don't know how to cope."

Domestic violence spikes in '09
'Hurting people hurt people'; economic stress likely fueling fire of increased attacks
Created September 18, 2010 at 9:54pm
Updated September 19, 2010 at 12:04am
James Kraig Kahler was a suspect in the slashing of his estranged wife's car tires and ripping out of her utility cables.
He was due to stand trial for domestic assault.
These could have been logged as precursors to carnage unlikely to be swept from the mind of anyone shocked by domestic violence killings.
Kahler is facing the death penalty for allegedly massacring his family at a home 20 miles southwest of Topeka in November 2009. Prosecutors say he shot to death his wife Karen, daughters Emily and Lauren, and Karen's grandmother Dorothy Wight.
A month earlier, Mario Chavez was known to Salina police as a man arrested three times for ignoring protection orders. He redefined his profile by marching into the Ramada Hotel and Convention Center and fatally shooting his ex-wife Rosa Gomez and one of her colleagues Charles Losey. Chavez committed suicide after being cornered by police.
These scenes give shape to a sobering statistic: Kansas last year recorded the highest number of domestic violence fatalities among adults in nearly two decades.
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation says 35 adults, as well as 14 children, died at the hands of a current or former partner, relative or household member in 2009. In the 18 years for which Kansas statistics are available, the 41 adult domestic violence deaths in 1993 ranks as the benchmark. The lowest annual tally was 11 in 1995. The last five years: 2005, 21; 2006, 21; 2007, 17; 2008, 19; and 2009, 35.
"It's not something specific to Kansas," said Dorthy Stucky Halley, director of victims' services in the Kansas attorney general's office. "It's a nationwide trend."
She said there was no single cause for a spike in the frequency and severity of violence by batterers, but prolonged economic stress could be pouring gasoline on volatile domestic situations untreated as public demand for services expanded and financing for programs diminished.
Mayhem continues
Prognosis for 2010 in Kansas isn't much better. Preliminary records indicate that through August of this year, according to the KBI, 20 adults and six children have died in cases defined as domestic violence.
In Johnson County, Tiffani Hayes became one of those statistics. She was in the process of obtaining a divorce from her estranged husband in August after less than two years of marriage. Dissolution of their vows apparently wasn't sufficient for Terry Hayes. He is charged with first-degree murder after his 28-year-old wife died from a gunshot wound to the head outside an Olathe residence.
Days later, a woman embroiled in marital difficulties returned to her Assaria home to speak with her husband and retrieve clothing. Valerie Paulson, 38, didn't leave alive. She died of stab wounds allegedly inflicted by her husband, Andy Paulson, in a melee resulting in injuries to Valerie's sister-in-law. Charges include first-degree murder, attempted murder and kidnapping.
But the numbers are still climbing. On Sept. 1, 88-year-old June Smith died of stab wounds in Manhattan. Her daughter, Diane R. Washam, 45, must answer to a charge of second-degree murder.
"Hurting people hurt people," said Vera Johnson, who operates the New Start Family Life Skills facility in Saline County. "They're not all monsters. They are people who don't know how to cope."
She often observes personality extremes among people in her counseling classes. There is the domestic offender who is incapable of checking emotions and acts impulsively when responding to conflict in the home. Another category contains anti-social, controlling men or women who manage to get through each day by emotionally suffocating people closest to themselves.
The KBI says the profile of Kansas' domestic violence offenders remains unchanged from the early 1990s. The average victim is a white female between 20 and 24 years of age. The typical offender is male, white and in his early 20s. Saturdays and Sundays are the most likely days for violence to occur, and the hours between midnight and 4 a.m. are the most dangerous.
Surging demand
Eileen Doran, director of the Topeka's Center for Safety and Empowerment, formerly the Battered Women Task Force, said the agency serving Shawnee, Wabaunsee, Jackson and Osage counties logged an increase in the number of people caught up in domestic violence.
"This summer alone it was like an explosion," she said.
Doran said the number of people calling a crisis hotline escalated. The organization's shelter has been full since June. There are more serious injuries tied to domestic abuse, she said.
However, Doran suspects growth in demand for domestic-violence services was the norm across the state.
She also cautioned people against second-guessing the decisions of men and women who are victims of domestic violence. It is simplistic to conclude victims should just pack their bags and move out of a home, she said.
"People blame victims," Doran said. "In reality, a person is more likely to get killed when leaving. That's when a woman's danger level is the highest."
Halley, of the attorney general's office, said the list of risk factors contributing to domestic violence was long. There's substance abuse, poverty, sex abuse, extreme religious beliefs or personal philosophies and a history of violence outside the home. Triggers for fatal violence include access to a weapon, unemployment, death threats, episodes of jealousy and divorce actions.
"There are risk factors that need to be kept in mind," she said. "But we know that any situation where domestic violence is occurring could turn lethal."
She said the attorney general's office was expanding certification of domestic violence treatment facilities to help guarantee quality assistance to victims regardless of location. Seven centers have been certified, including the Topeka and Salina organizations.
Kansas lawmakers moved to improve tracking of people engaging in activity that could lead to domestic violence. The 2010 Legislature and Gov. Mark Parkinson approved a bill mandating tagging of court cases with an element of domestic violence.
Johnson, of the New Start center in Salina, said additional reform was necessary to protect people in jeopardy. She said stalking a family member was a felony in Kansas, while beating the same person could be classified as a misdemeanor.
"There's got to be stronger consequences," she said. "It just makes sense."

AMPP is a social movement seeking justice and accountability within the family court system which includes DHHS/CPS, psychologists and other so called experts.
We as mothers demand CITIZENSHIP and our Rights to our Children.
We demand that our children not be used as pawns by our abuser in a custody dispute.
We demand that Mothers and Children be equally protected against court ordered visitation with an abuser.
We demand that Mothers and Children be given the same rights, privileges and voice that the abuser gets in family courts!
We demand that our President take action now as can no longer afford to be silent and we won’t.
We demand the same "rights and freedoms" to which all humans are entitled.
Behind the closed doors of the dirty little secret of the family court system, thousands of women each year lose child custody to violent men who beat and abuse Mothers and Children.
Family courts are not family-friendly and betray the best interests of the child.
Until Mothers and Children's voices are heard we will never shut up, give up or go away!
Father shoots kids, wife, self in murder-suicide: Gilbert Ramos, 45; Nicholas Ramos, 10; Emma Ramos, 8
by Rynski on Sep. 22, 2010, under life, murder, shot, suicide
Gilbert Ramos, 45, opened fire on his family Sept. 21, killing his 10-year-old son Nicholas, his 8-year-old daughter Emma, and critically wounding his wife, Sandra Thompson-Ramos, 37, before turning the gun on himself, according to a news release from the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office.
All had been shot in the head.
Family members were the first to discover the scene when they were concerned they could not get in touch with their kin who lived in the 1300 block of East Nardini Street in Sun Tran Valley.
After knocking on the door but receiving no response, family members used a key to let themselves inside the home.
They called 911 around 5 p.m. to report the shooting and deputies arrived soon after.
Gilbert and his two children were pronounced dead at the scene while Sandra survived and was air lifted to a local hospital. She remains in extremely critical condition.
Deputies determined that Gilbert first shot his wife and then his two children but have yet to determine a motive.
The investigation continues.

Guardian Ad Litem KNEW about Death threats to children- BUT still --'They still made me send my kids to him' 3 Children Killed by DADDY
The court official who made sure this abuser had access to the kids was the GAL
Dad feared losing kids, killed them instead, police say
Over the weekend, a Texas man allegedly shot his three children while they were visiting him for the weekend and then tried -- but failed -- to kill himself, the AP reports. That man, Mohammed Goher, had reportedly threatened to hurt himself if he lost visitation rights, said a court official -- who had planned to recommend that Goher keep his visitation rights.

'They still made me send my kids to him'
Mother of slain children says she sounded alarm about abuse repeatedly
A woman whose estranged husband shot and killed their three children while they slept in his Harris County apartment on Sunday says no one heeded her warnings that her husband was dangerous.
"I have documents of everything, all the abuse, and I showed it to everyone, but no one believed me, and they still made me send my kids to him every weekend," Norma Martinez said in a statement read by Tayseir Mahmoud, a board member at An-Nisa Hope Center, a nonprofit that operates a shelter for battered women.
Martinez and the children had been living at the shelter since March, Mahmoud said. The children would visit their father every weekend in accordance with a court-ordered visitation schedule, she said.
"She's been married to this man for 15 years, and she's gone through a lot of domestic abuse," Mahmoud said of Martinez, who was too distraught to speak publicly on Monday. "Since three years ago, she's been trying to tell people her story and raise awareness of what's gong on and nobody really took her seriously."
Martinez's husband, Mohammad Goher, 47, is charged with capital murder in the shooting deaths of son Saeed, 12, and daughters Saeedah, 14 and Aisha, 7.
The children were at the heart of a bitter custody dispute that dragged on for years as their parents' marriage deteriorated.
In May 2006, Goher was convicted of assault of a family member and placed on deferred adjudication, district attorney's spokesman George Flynn said. Official records indicate Goher, who was intoxicated, beat his wife with his hands and fists, leaving her bruised and injuring her right hand.
In 2008, Goher took the children to stay with relatives in Pakistan and refused to tell his wife where they were, said Christina Diaz, the vice president of operations for An-Nisa. Diaz said Martinez, who's Hispanic, sought help from the FBI, consulates and embassies. She finally reunited with the children about six months ago after An-Nisa volunteers helped her locate them in Pakistan.
Custody hearing
Martinez filed for divorce in February. She planned to request joint custody at a divorce mediation on Friday, Mahmoud said. "She was not asking for sole custody of the children," Mahmoud said.
But Goher apparently feared he might never see his children again. He'd threatened to kill or hurt himself if he lost visitation, said attorney Syed Izfar, who was appointed by a court to represent the children in the mediation.
About four weeks ago, Goher called Manzoor Memon, the editor in chief of a monthly journal and weekly radio show serving Houston's Pakistani community.
About four weeks ago, Goher called Manzoor Memon, the editor in chief of a monthly journal and weekly radio show serving Houston's Pakistani community.
"He wanted me to help him to get his family back," Memon said. He said Goher suspected his wife had a relationship with another man, who planned to marry her.
Volunteers with the An-Nisa Hope Center denied any improper relationship existed and said Memon's involvement just made a fraught situation worse. Mahmoud said Memon's wife "claims to be some kind of psychic" and told Goher the judge would grant full custody to his wife.
Memon said his wife is psychic, but she never made any predictions to Goher. "She had told him that you need to get your act together otherwise you'll lose your kids," Memon said.
Memon and his wife visited Goher's apartment on Saturday and Goher agreed to discuss his situation on Memon's radio show on Sunday. Memon said he called Goher that morning to confirm his appearance on the show, but no one picked up the phone.
'They were scared'
Goher is accused of shooting the children to death in their beds at about 9 a.m. Sunday before turning the gun on himself at his apartment in the 13000 block of Homestead.
Goher survived and was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital, where he remained unconscious on Monday, said Harris County Homicide Sgt. Ben Beall.
One of the children's former teachers recalled that Saeedah expressed fear that she and her younger siblings had to spend the weekends with their dad.
"She really liked being with her mom. They were scared to go with their dad," said Jodi Fisher, a math teacher at Schindewolf Intermediate in the Klein Independent School District. "They loved him, but they were scared."
Quiet and reserved
Even so, Saeedah told her teacher that her younger sister and brother did enjoy going to their dad's place.
"The reason she went was to protect them," Fisher said.
Saeedah never mentioned if her father was violent, Fisher said, but the girl would tear up at times talking about her family.
"But I never ever thought anything like this would happen," said Fisher, who taught Saeedah last school year and her younger brother, Saeed, this school year.
Both children were quiet, Fisher said, but they always asked for help with their work and were very bright.
"They were two of the best kids," Fisher recalled. "Very reserved, but, oh my goodness, they were so sweet."
Saeedah was a freshman at Klein Collins High School this year and was on the track team. Saeed was a seventh-grader at Schindewolf, and Aisha was a second-grader at Lemm Elementary.
Vicki Bevan, Saeedah's track coach at Klein Collins, said the teenager didn't have track experience but called her over the summer to ask to join the team.
"She just said she wanted some normalcy in her life, and she felt like being part of a team could bring that," Bevan recalled.

"The bodies were found at a property in Raynes St," police said in a statement.

Another DADDY KILLER with multiple PROTECTIVE ORDERS- charged with Shooting & KILLING his 3 children while On VISITATION-- Mother is in BATTERED Women's Shelter) Child Custody Battle
OUTRAGED end to battle over 3 kids
Father charged with killing his children as they slept, fearing loss of visitation rights
Another DADDY KILLER with multiple protective orders -- one in 2006 was dissolved. Another temp RO was granted in Feb 2010. Of course this great guy got his visitation—see court docket below the article. This one is laced right down to the contributing reporters—I’ll let the readers figure this out--
GAL—Guardian Ad Litem (for the kids) Ifzar
Contributing reporter- Shauk
DADDY - Muhammed Goher
Court docket follows the article—History of Domestic violence and the Guardian Ad Litem allowed these kids to be murdered.
Harris Co. Sheriff's Office
Mohammad Gohar is being treated at Ben Taub General Hospital.
A 47-year-old father worried that he would never see his three children again was charged in their deaths on Sunday, accused of fatally shooting his son and two daughters as they slept in his north Harris County apartment.
Mohammad Goher then turned the gun on himself, firing into his mouth. Authorities found him unconscious and transported him in stable condition to Ben Taub General Hospital.
He was charged with capital murder Sunday afternoon.
Goher had threatened to kill or hurt himself if he lost visitation, said Houston attorney Syed Izfar, who was appointed by a court to represent Goher's three children in a Sept. 24 divorce mediation.
"By all appearances, this was a man who loved his children. What a nightmare," said Izfar, who planned to recommend standard visitation in the case. "He had it in his mind that the children would be taken away from him forever."
While there was a history of violence against the mother — including a 2006 conviction against Goher for beating her — Izfar said he was unaware of the father ever harming 14-year-old Saeedah, 12-year-old Saeed or 7-year-old Aisha.
The family had lived together in a tiny apartment adjacent to a worn-down convenience store where Goher worked in the 13000 block of Homestead until divorce proceedings began last year.
Weekend visits
Since then, the children typically visited Goher on weekends and lived with their mother at a north Harris County shelter for battered women, said Harris County Homicide Sgt. Ben Beall.
The night before the killings, Goher called co-worker Muhommad Riaz distraught that he would lose all custody rights at the coming mediation and never see his children.
"He was very stressed," said Riaz, who was stunned to learn of the killings when he reported to work Sunday afternoon.
"We talked for an hour. He said, 'Everybody is lying and saying I'm a bad guy,' " Riaz said.
Around 9 a.m. Sunday, while the children and an older family friend visiting from Pakistan were sleeping, Goher got out a handgun, authorities said. Beall said he shot one of his girls sleeping in a bedroom and shot his other daughter and son sleeping in a king-size bed in a front room.
He then crawled onto the bed and shot himself, Beall said.
Neighbor called 911
The gunfire woke the family friend, who speaks little English. She saw the bloodied bodies and ran outside for help.
Neighbor Julio Rodriguez was cutting his grass across the street when another neighbor whistled at him loudly, alerting him to the scene.
He looked over at the store and saw a woman in the store parking lot, frantically waving her arms in the air and screaming loudly.
"She was hysterical," Rodriguez said. "I heard her screaming, 'Gun! Gun! Shoot! Shoot!' I got scared because I knew there were kids in there."
Rodriguez then called 911, and patrolmen arrived moments later to find the children dead.
Detectives' grim duty
Harris County homicide detectives went to the shelter Sunday afternoon to tell the mother her three children had been killed.
She was inconsolable, Beall said.
Neighbors who frequented the store knew little about the family, saying the children were extremely quiet and spent most time indoors.
"We would never see them outside or playing like normal kids," said 14-year-old Mercedes Sanchez, who attended middle school with one of the girls.
Attorney Ifzar recalled the children as normal and happy but struggling with the divorce.
"They wanted their parents to stay together," he said.
