Supervised Contact is a form of domestic abuse.

Are you complaining about child abuse or parent abuse or just wanting to rant?

Supervised contact is better than no contact.

You have no rights to contact - Your children do.

And riding at the back of the bus was better than not being able to ride the bus at all.

Accept discrimination. Normalise it and pretend that everything is okay or do you choose to fight.

The current system abuses children and parents. It is not fit for purpose.

So how would you make it fit for purpose?

The system is designed to protect the children, nothing in life is perfect. I still think that calling it abuse is an over reaction.

I must admit i felt like i was "guilty until proven innocent". I felt that supervised contact was a form of humiliation. But i love my girl and i dont mind losing dignity for her... it wont be for long. Set your principles aside for a few months. It will only get better.

Equality. Presumption of innocence.

Genuinely put the rights of children first. If a parent is found to have knowingly misled the court with false allegations then caution them for domestic abuse. If they continue then criminal charges.

James,

I am not saying the system is right. I was just trying to point out a fact to you.

Your kids have the right to have contact with you. Maybe swallow you pride, and agree to the contact which is on offer, rather than the alternative, which is zilch. I also fear that refusing contact, will show that you have zilch commitment to your children.

It''s not going to be forever, and at least by accepting, there will be no break in contact and your children won''t feel abandoned.
