Welfare Queens and Domestic Violence

There is nothing simpler and cheaper and more profitable (in the form of "victim assistance awards") for an American woman who has been the "victim of domestic violence" to do than to dial 911 and get a police report, other than to lie with impunity about it.  Where 40% of the welfare queens interviewed in a program funded by the federal Office for Child Support Enforcement claimed that they were "victims of domestic violence", a scant 0.2% of them considered it serious enough to warrant government intervention and to have a police report to prove their case.  Another 0.2% relied solely on their own affidavits to prove their case, and 0.1% relied solely on letters from government agencies themselves.  But these are the government agencies whose sheer existence depends upon sustaining the mass hysteria surrounding domestic violence.

For a "study" of such a serious issue to never ask the obvious question: "Who initiated the domestic violence?" would lead the casual observer to question even the 0.2% of the queens who finally provided police reports.  The anti-male bias by police, DAs, courts, and juries is well documented, so it's clear that it's extremely easy for a woman wishing to steal from the taxpayers to have gotten a police report which shows she was attacked even though she initiated the events which led up to that attack.  With more than half of domestic violence initiated by women, the percent of substantiated domestic violence from this study which was initiated by someone other than the victim herself ranges from 0% to 0.1%.

To add insult to injury, this United States Senate, the one tasked with upholding the US Constitution, now considers a father in this country who "threatens" to get custody of the children given to him by God to be guilty of "domestic violence".   Fifteen times as many queens used this as an excuse than got a legitimate police report to document their allegation of abuse, and ten times as many admitted to authorities that they were concealing the children from their own fathers.  180 times as many filed for restraining orders, of which 108 times as many led to violations of the restraining order.

But what is being restrained?  Why didn't this "study" determine how many times these violations included the things that ordinary fathers do every day with their own children?  Are they all fathers like Steve Wilner who were imprisoned just for going to their own daughters' school functions, at their request?

Do such orders reduce domestic violence and family conflict and divorce?    No.  They accelerate the process.

CONCLUSION

The most egregious part of this "study" is its conclusion that "the incidence of domestic violence is high".  Any normal citizen would conclude that the incidence of false reporting of domestic violence is high, that the motiviation for it is for welfare queens and others to get and keep custody of children kidnapped by government from their fathers, that the solution isn't to encourage even more distress within families, and that the presumption of father custody would eliminate the need for CAPTA.
