More details
According to Harriet Harman, 200 people were put into prison in 2005 following secret Family Court trials.

These people are being falsely labelled as "child abusers" when what they are really doing is trying to protect their children! The family courts slap labels on them, such as Muchausen's Syndrome By Proxy (MSBP), Fabricated Induced Illness (FII) and Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS). PAS was invented by a Pennysylvanian psychologist called Richard Gardner. He was a paedophile.

Using these syndromes, children's lives are being ruined by the corrupt Family Court system. MSBP is being used to take newborn babies from their parents, to feed the lucrative adoption industry!

I want to end this secrecy. Please join me in order to prevent outrages like this. http://youtube.com/watch?v=-a9anTsRT3A

  • I'd like to hear other people's experiences of these secret courts.
  • I'd really really like to hear other people's experiences of these secret courts.

    My experience is that I have been going through the system for seven years, taken to court by a man who I never lived with or had a proper loving relationship with (he was a friend of my father).

    I have been threatened with jail several times "if I don't do as I'm told", Ive been kept against my will in a court waiting room for two hours in an attempt to force me to sign documents against my will (I think the legal term for this is kidnapping), and basically our family life has been intruded into in the most disgusting and invasive way.

    Should we keep these outrages a secret? I don't think so! What happened to me could happen to anyone in the UK. Secret courts in a democracy?

    Come on, please don't let me stand alone on this issue. There are tens of thousands of you out there - come and join me! I'm not asking anyone to do anything illegal - just to stand with me and add your voice to mine, to say, "This is wrong!"

  • Hi

    I have been to hell and back with care proceedings and this secret inadequate family court system. I want psychiatric testing stopped in these care/family cases as many parents are often falsely diagnosed with personality disorders/msbp and then it is reported back to the courts by some crackpot expert that they could "emotionally or physically abuse" their children. How can any psychiatric assessment on distraught mothers torn apart from their children be fair assessments?

  • The Government have allowed Parental Alienation Syndrome, invented by Richard Gardner, to be used in their consultation paper "Family justice - the operation of the family court"

    Here are a few quotations from Richard Gardner's published books, so you can judge for yourself what kind of man he was:

    "There is a bit of pedophilia in every one of us."
    Gardner, R.A. (1991). Sex Abuse Hysteria: Salem Witch Trials Revisited . Cresskill, NJ: Creative Therapeutics. (p. 118)


    "Pedophilia has been considered the norm by the vast majority of individuals in the history of the world."
    Gardner, R.A. (1992). True and False Accusations of Child Sex Abuse . Cresskill, NJ: Creative Therapeutics. (p. 592-3)


    "It is because our society overreacts to it [pedophilia] that children suffer."
    Gardner, R.A. (1992). True and False Accusations of Child Sex Abuse . Cresskill, NJ: Creative Therapeutics. (pp. 594-5)

    "Pedophilia may enhance the survival of the human species by serving 'procreative purposes.'"
    Gardner, R.A. (1992). True and False Accusations of Child Sex Abuse . Cresskill, NJ: Creative Therapeutics. (pp. 24-5)

    "Special care should be taken not alienate the child from the molesting parent."
    Gardner, R.A. (1992). True and False Accusations of Child Sex Abuse . Cresskill, NJ: Creative Therapeutics.(p. 537)

    "The child should be told that there is no such thing as a perfect parent."
    Gardner, R.A. (1992). True and False Accusations of Child Sex Abuse . Cresskill, NJ: Creative Therapeutics.(p. 572)

    Do you think the UK Government should be using anything that this man wrote?
  • Hi

    I have been involved twice with these secret courts. both times i have lost my children. the evidence used again me was baseded lies.
    my heldest child is adopted
    my younest is living with family members who have abused me in the past.
    the court also gave nearly all free time as in weeneds and weekday evenings after school have as been given to the father.
    this kind of reduced contact is not fair and just.
    also i will had that while the father of my younest repeatedly took me to court roughly 2 years apart no judge as evey slap an order on him to stop im bring is case. the last judge to sit for me case did slap an order on me. I have to ask courts permission to bring any application.
    this is darn right disgusting!!!!!!!

  • Please join us outside Stafford Railway Station at 12.00 on Saturday 12th April 2008. We will walk to the Stafford County Court and tell the press what we think about the secret family courts. I will be reading from the Bible - the book every courtroom contains but fails to apply the wisdom and justice from within those pages - all these courts use the Bible for is to swear oaths on and perhaps to prop up a wobbly table - these corrupt Family Court solicitors would probably die of fright if they saw what Jesus had to say about them in particular! Well, let them come and listen to Zoomy quoting Our Saviour's blessed words on Saturday April 12th and let them hang their heads in shame! And let this Labour government come and have a good attentive listen as well, and learn a few home truths, such as how not to be a moral coward, hey, Mr Brown? You know me, sir, I have written to you enough times, I think you know me very well indeed by now! I have read your book, an excellent read it was too, "Courage",yes, well, you come to Stafford and shake hands with us secret family court survivors, and we will all be very glad to give you extra chapters to add to your next volume which you certainly will be inspired to write when you hear our stories of bravery in 21st Century England!

    We want justice, not secret and illegal trials and gravy train lawyers who would sell their own grannies for fifty pence and a free balloon!

    Please come, anyone and everyone, tell your friends to come as well. It's going to be a great day!
  • The secrecy of the family courts allows Social Workers to say and do as they please without any accountability to the tax payers who pay their wages.
    Children are forcibly adopted from loving families where there has been NO abuse on the psychobable of FII where a social worker deems you 'may' harm your child in the future.
    Cafcass act without thought for the children's safety in cases involving child abuse and D.V and recommend contact to violent or drug using parents who use the courts to gain 'control' back over a family that have 'escaped' the violence and abuse.
    At mothers for justice we want an end to the secrecy and openess of content without having to 'publish' children's names and an accountability for the 'professionals' involved to do their job as set out in their remit;
    'in the best interests of the children' should means just that.
  • Sorry i cant be there, you know i would if i could.
    Hope it goes well.xx

  • Yes Mr Brown, we want this secret family nonsense to end.

    You can't hush it all up any more, as far too many people know all about what is going on in this country. And don't even think about the disposal of Zoompad, I promise you, if anything happened accidentally on purpose to me you would be able to keep it secret for about three seconds!

    Enough of these secrets and lies. Own up, we know what's been going on in this country anyway, the media gagging didn't work. As Jesus said, when at the Mount of Olives, "I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out."

    I am a Christian as well you know Mr Brown, and I am outraged at the way we have been gagged, just as if we are living in a Gulag.

    You get off your bottom right now and get something done about these secret courts. You can't stop these stories coming out now, they are coming thick and fast, like a torrent, and far too many people know now.

    I told you, you have used a paedophile in your Government consultation paper. That is going to be the biggest source of shame to you. I told you this again and again. You must be blind, deaf or stupid!
  • me and my daughter donna marie have had over 20 years of lies heartbreak and our lifes ruined by the secret family courts and the uncaring ss just because she was to happy and loved still is now its still a nightmare now for me and her most of you will know about it and what happened so we support what you are doing 100 per cent zoompad best wishes from derick and donna marie gibson

  • Mr Brown,

    Last week, a mother in your own constituency (Fife) had her newborn baby STOLEN by the SS. You may object to my choice of words and substitute "Stolen" for "taken into care" and "the SS" for "Social services" if you want to. I personally have an absolute abhorance of euphanisms.

    Please look at this, and see how long you can remain dry eyed.

  • Jack Straw and Bridget Prentice,

    When are you going to reply to the question I asked you a month ago, in my letters to you?

    Why has your New Labour Government allowed a notorious paedophile to conribute towards your own Government consultation paper on child protection issues?

    Will I be waiting until next Christmas for a reply to this important question?
  • Come on, Jack and Bridget! I'm still waiting....

  • SOCIAL SERVICES SEE CHILDREN AS FIGURES THEY DO NOT THINK THAT THESE CHILDREN HAVE FEELINGS WHEN THEY ARE RIPPED FROM THEIR FAMILY AND LOCKED AWAY LIKE PRISONERS WITH PEOPLE THEY DONT KNOW SCARED AND CONFUSED. BUT THIS IS A FORM OF ABUSE TO SUDDENLY TAKE THESE CHILDREN FROM THEIR FAMILY TO THESE PRISONS THEY CALL FOSTER HOMES.COURTS SHOULD BE OPEN AND MORE FAMILYS SHOULD BE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO FIGHT FAIRLY FOR THEIR CHILDREN AS SOCIAL SERVICES ALREADY KNOW BEFORE YOU ENTER THE COURT WHAT THE OUTCOME WILL BE . OH ONE LAST THING I ALSO THINK THAT ANY METHOD TO CLEAR A PARENTS NAME SHOULD BE ALLOWED IN THESE COURTS . SO OPEN THESE COURTS STOP INJUSTICE

  • You hear this, Mr Brown?

    Take a good look at these complaints. There are plenty more where these came from.

    You better do something, and fast, because people are getting more and more annoyed about paedophiles having the run of the mill in this country. We all know what is happening, the deliberate breaking up of families. These complaints are reaching the highest realms of Heaven!

  • I was sexually abused as a child (11 years old) and put into a children's home which was being run by paedophiles at the age of 13, that was supposed to be a "place of safety". I've been beaten up, I've been raped.

    God has kept me going though, praise Him! And so He will, and we will see His light shining in these dirty cockroach infested corners, the places where the paedophiles hide and do their foul deeds. There are tens of thousands of institutionally abused children, and I urge you all to come forward and join our voices in demanding an end to the paedophile ring that has infiltrated the very top of our society here in the UK!

  • TO EVERY MP IN PARLIAMENT

    You know me as Barbara Richards, the lady who has been complaining so bitterly about first being sexually abused as a child, and further abused in a children's "home" which was being run by paedophiles, then being mistreated by just about ever agency that I went to for help and councelling (or even just a bit of tea and sympathy), how my complaints have been shoved under the carpet by Staffordshire Police, how I have been encouraged to take strong drugs which would no doubt have acted like a chemical cosh had I not had the good sense to chuck them in the bin...the crimes which have been committed against me are piled up so far that they have reached the ears of Almighty God!

    You have ignored my pleas for help, a few of you have written back and told me that you have sympathy with me, and that the system is indeed rotton to the core. Thank you, I won't reveal who you are, you know who you are, but that did mean a lot to me, that open honesty. God bless you for that.

    There were others, the majority, who dismissed me by writing "Due to Parliamentary convention, you will have to get in touch with your own MP, Bill Cash, regarding this matter". Which, of course, was nonsense, as you well know, because I was writing about a national issue concerning a notorious American paedophile which the Government has allowed to influence a conultation documant on child protection issues rather than my own personal issues by then. I won't be naming you either, you now exactly who you are, and I hope you hang your head in shame today for your cowardice.

  • I have other letters which I have already sent to the press. I do think that this matter is far too important for me not to do so. IAgain, I don't think I need to name names, I will leave that to the media!

    By the way, I will not be going hillwalking this summer. I don't want to risk having a heart attack, with head injuries, do I? Plus I am not suicidal, the very opposite actually, as I have great expectations that things really are going to get better for ordinary people very soon. Paedophilia is a cancer in our society, and I will be doing my bit in the next few years to help heal the nation of abuse survivors. I am looking forward to that, so I am certainly not going to go hill walking and commit suicide, innit, nudge nudge know what I mean? I think I have made myself perfectly clear.

    By the way, if ever I was broken into (again) and had only documents taken from my house (again), well, I wouldn't be too sad about it. I copy everything, and send copies of my documents to different places.

    I should imagine there are people who might read my post and say, "She's a nutter! She's mad!" Well, they would be right, in a way. I am a nutter in the sense that I have balls of steel - I have courage enough to be able to face a paedophile ring and snap my fingers at them and say "Enough already!". I am not intimidated by paedophiles, I despise paedophiles, no matter how far up the heirarchy they have slithered. And of course, I am as mad as hell, a slow burning, determined anger that is the wrath of God. We Christians are allowed to be angry, as Christ was, when he challenged the corruption in the House of God 2000 years ago.

  • I know some of you MP's are frightened. I am calling for you to put away your fear. If you need courage, or more persuasion, you know my email addy, you know where I live. I call you to do what you know to be right, not to sit on that fence for any longer, but to speak out, loud and clear. I don't need to tell you what to say, but when you say it I will be sitting with a cup of tea watching it on the telly with my family, and we will all be cheering and praising God!

  • I lost my grandchildren three and a half years ago when they were taken into care, my grandaughter fell and broke her leg she went to haspital the pain it must have caused must have been unbearable for her she was only 4years old, she cryed and screamed for her mommy and guese who had the blame for her leg her mommy, my daughter-inlaw was arrested and then no charges were braught, but she asked for a polygraph test to prove her inosents but she was told if she paid to have this done she would be in breach of a gaging order so she could do nothing. I think it is disgusting that people arnt allowed to use this test to prove there inosents, and that children are treated like animals in fact the british would not treat a animal in this way.

  • Gagging orders? GAGGING ORDERS?????????


    Who will DARE to gag Almighty God?

    Remember this, all you who have such a silly notion:

    "So do not be afraid of them. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known"

    Matthew 10 v 26

    That is what Jesus said. You who use your powers to destroy families are opposing the Living God with your gagging orders! I thought I was a brave person, standing up to you powerful men, but you have beaten me in this. I declare, am not brave enough (or foolish enough) to oppose Almighty God!

  • I WAS PREVENTED BY PRAYING BY THIS MAN, WHO WORKS FOR THE COURT

    http://uk. youtube. com/watch?v=2TQ4rNQ4vY8

    A man from Stafford County Court came and grabbed me as I was praying, I didn't see him as I had my eyes shut, you see. I know the man already, he was the man who came into a little room in the court where two lawyers kept me for over 2 hours, threatening me and trying to force me to sign documenta against my will. I was crying and screaming and banging my head repeatedly against the wall, the whole courthouse must have heard it, and after 2 hours him and another man came in and intervened.





    That is what the secret family courts do, they are secret, and they terrorise people.





    I don't blame that man though, or the policeman in the video clips, I expect they are all so frightened, everyone is living in fear these days, but I can't live like that any more.

  • Well folks, it's nearly secret family court torture time for me again. I'm in court again in June. I'm preparing to go to prison this time. I haven't committed any crime, but the secret family court doesn't work like that, they put you in prison for contempt of court, which can be interpreted in any way that they choose to. It's the ultimate in moving goalposts.

    I hope that if I am put into prison you will all rally round and lobby Parliament and flood the newspapers with letters. I do have a few ideas which I won't be revealing to anyone online on how to annoy the living daylights out of anyone foolish enough to put me into jail for committing absolutly no crime at all. I draw inspiration from the conduct of Jesus's diciples when they suffered persecution and torment, and I shall be acting in a similar manner!

    I ask that in the event of me going to prison that no-one will commit any crime at all to bring about my release, but to ask God to show you how to help me instead. I would like Psalms 35 to 37 to be chanted outside every secret family court in the UK.

    I am not looking forward to being put into jail, but it looks as though that is what is going to happen to me, they have been determined to get me right the way through. The only thing I can do is to bravely face up to whatever they put me through.

  • Do you see this, Mr Brown? We are NOT isolated little people any more, we have networked, so that whenever one of us gets bullied by these illegal secret torture chamber courts other people all over the UK and beyond get to know about it, and you can be sure they are all busy telling all their friends as well!

    I wrote to you this week, you know I have pleaded with you over my case, and about the cases of other people. You KNOW about these secret torture chamber courts and yet you have not liftef the tip of a little finger to help a single one of us!

    I thought you were going to be a great Prime Minister, but I have changed my mind now. Bullying is horrible, and I don't think a lot of a man who can stand by and watch a whole load of little people get bullied. You should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself, there are people having their families torn apart because of these dreadful illegal court cases, and you won't do anything to help at all! How disgusting!
