European Court Tells Germany to Change its Laws on Rights of Single Fathers
December 9th, 2009 by Robert Franklin, Esq.

I'm no authority on German family law, but this got my attention (BBC, 12/4/09):

Under current German law, single fathers can only get joint custody if the mother gives her consent.

In this country, it's been true basically forever that single fathers' parental rights fall far short of those of single mothers, married fathers and married mothers. With the astonishing rise in out-of-wedlock child bearing over the past 40 or so years, single fathers have seen their parental rights improve somewhat. What is apparently officially sanctioned in Germany is merely unofficially the case here.

As I've said before, mothers here hold the parental rights of fathers in their own hands. But they have to do some work to deny a single father his rights. For example, they need to conceal the existence of the child from the dad, tell him it's another man's, etc. If they do, and they succeed in keeping the father separate from his child long enough, he'll find his rights either non-existent or seriously diminished. In Germany, single mothers don't have to jump through those hoops. Joint custody is, apparently, entirely up to her.

But apparently that's about to change. A single man, Horst Zaunegger fathered a child back in 1995. He and the mother lived together for three years raising their daughter, and then split up. Horst had custody of the girl until 2001 when she went to live with her mother. He's been fighting German courts since then trying to get equal custody, but with no success.

Now the European Court of Human Rights has ruled in his case that the German law violates two articles of the European Convention on Human Rights - one on discrimination and one on respect for family life. And that means that Germany must change its law on the rights of single fathers.

The article doesn't say what, if anything, that means for Horst Zaunegger or his ability to obtain joint custody of his daughter. Does he have to wait until Germany changes its law and then go back to court? Or did the court at Strasbourg have the power to grant joint custody in his case?

This Texas lawyer doesn't know the answer to that one, but whatever is true in Horst Zaunegger's case, single fathers in Germany are about to take a step towards equal respect in law.

The article below illustrates just one aspect of the Brave New World we can all expect, if the current occupant of the White House, the "One World Government" nutters in his Administration, and our loonie left Congress are allowed to continue their relentless onslaught. Read on ..., and note the references to the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, as well as the child policies employed by Hitler's Nazi Regime in the 1930's. For those who may be inclined to think it could never occur here in the United States, you are strongly advised to consider that the citizens of Soviet Russia, Nazi (the National Socialist Party) Germany, Communist China, Cuba, North Vietnam, Cambodia, etc., all thought they were immune, as well!

THEIR GOVERNMENT AT WORK

Christian fathers put in jail for shunning explicit sex ed

International organization fighting for parents protecting their children

Posted: December 11, 2009
11:25 pm Eastern

By Bob Unruh
© 2009 WorldNetDaily

An international human rights organization today announced it will pursue a civil lawsuit on behalf of parents who want to control their children's education and withhold them from explicit sex education and play-acting classes required by the German government.

Joel Thornton of the International Human Rights Group told WND the government in Salzkotten, Germany, is sending the fathers of the children to jail for terms of one week because they have refused to turn their children over to school officials for mandated sex classes.

According to a report from Richard Guenther, European director for the IHRG, eight families of Christians have decided to withhold their children from required sex education classes in Salzkotten.

Sex education classes in Germany are explicit, and the issue is one of the major reasons why families – and not just Christian families – choose to homeschool their children even though the government has maintained its illegality since the days of Hitler.

The students who are being held out of sex education classes also are not being allowed by their parents to participate in a play-acting program called "My Body Belongs to Me," which essentially teaches children how to engage in sex, the report said.

State schools don't have to be a mystery any more. Get "The Harsh Truth about Public Schools"

Guenther reported that one father already has served his week in jail and is scheduled to be released this weekend, while the fathers of seven more families still are facing a similar fate.

The government already has imposed fines on the families, which continue to accrue. Thornton said the families are being targeted with a "Bussgeld," a fine described as "repentance money" designed to show contrition for wrong behavior.

The families so far have refused to pay because that would be admitting guilt.

Thornton said the cases being brought against the families – whose names are being withheld for the protection of the children – reveal the dedication among German officials to punish parents who refuse to hand over their children to the state for education purposes.

The government's determination is evident, Thornton said, whether parents are objecting to an explicit sex class or whether the family chooses to homeschool their children.

"Unlike American officials, German officials do not recognize the right of parents to opt their children out of offensive classes such as sex education which overrides the parent's beliefs or desires for their own children," Thornton said.

"One of the reasons for this is that German officials view the children as belonging to the state, particularly during the time they are in school," he said.

So the IHRG has launched a new "radical approach" in Germany.

"Early next year, January or February, we will be filing a civil lawsuit on behalf of a number of homeschool families to try and force the court to recognize the rights of parents to control the education of their children," Thornton said. "We will not continue to only react to these forceful actions by state officials against these families."

Michael Farris, who heads the U.S.-based Parental Rights website, said it's not surprising that the German government is reacting the way it is.

"They basically believe that the government knows best in every sector of life," he said.

He said the actions also align with the general international sympathy for U.N. protocols such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which essentially gives children rights to make their own decisions on every facet of their lives.

He cited a case a decade ago when the government of Wales allowed parents to opt children out of sex programs and it was found to have been in violation of the convention because it did not first consult the children about their desires.

There's also no assurance that the U.S. is immune to such draconian measures, officials said.

WND already has reported on a California case where the judge called parents "bigots" for opposing homosexual lessons in public schools.

'And Tango Makes Three' book about homosexual male penguins who name their chick Tango because 'It takes two to make a Tango.'

The parents were represented in California's Alameda Superior Court by Pacific Justice Institute. On Dec. 1, Judge Frank Roesch denied a motion to allow them to have their children excused from the lessons.

According to the group, Roesch blasted the parents for seeking enforcement of a provision of the California Education Code that gives parents a right to opt their kids out of health education.

Education Code Section 51240 allows a parent to have a student excused from instruction, "If any part of a school's instruction in health conflicts with the religious training and beliefs of a parent or guardian of a pupil."

However, Pacific Justice Institute said Roesch repeatedly insinuated that the parents are bigots. In his opinion Roesch said the opt-out provision "is not reasonably construed to include instruction in family life education, but was intended to be more limited in scope."

WND earlier reported when the district was accused of violating federal law for approving the mandatory homosexual curriculum for children as young as 5 – without allowing parents to opt out of the lessons.

"We believe that this ruling against parents is inconsistent with the Education Code, and we are looking forward to continuing this battle until opt-out rights are restored on appeal, or the curriculum is changed," Pacific Justice Institute Chief Counsel Kevin Snider said in a statement.

Germany has been notorious for its treatment of parents decide to homeschool their children. Just weeks ago, a mother and father in Archfeld were fined $181 for homeschooling their children by a judge who spared them the jail sentences demanded by the prosecutor, according to the Home School Legal Defense Association.

The organization has been monitoring and working on the case of Juergen and Rosemarie Dudek. The HSLDA previously reported the prosecutor had suggested only jail was a deterrent to homeschooling families.

But the ruling from the judge, identified only by his surname of Drier, said the parents were guilty under the criminal law in the German state of Hessen of homeschooling even though they were providing a good education for their children.

He fined them 120 euros, or $181.

"We recognize in our German basic law about philosophical and religious conviction and that parents have rights, but the basic law also includes that it is the state's role to educate all children," the judge ruled.

Practical Homeschool Magazine has noted one of the first acts by Hitler when he moved into power was to create the governmental Ministry of Education and give it control of all schools and school-related issues.

In 1937, the dictator said, "The youth of today is ever the people of tomorrow. For this reason we have set before ourselves the task of inoculating our youth with the spirit of this community of the people at a very early age, at an age when human beings are still unperverted and therefore unspoiled. This Reich stands, and it is building itself up for the future, upon its youth. And this new Reich will give its youth to no one, but will itself take youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing."

Wolfgang Drautz, consul general for the Federal Republic of Germany, commented previously on the issue, contending the government "has a legitimate interest in countering the rise of parallel societies that are based on religion."

Drautz said schools teach socialization, and as WND reported, that is important, as evident in the government's response when a German family in another case wrote objecting to police officers picking their child up at home and delivering him to a public school.

"The minister of education does not share your attitudes toward so-called homeschooling," said a government letter in response. "You complain about the forced school escort of primary school children by the responsible local police officers. ... In order to avoid this in future, the education authority is in conversation with the affected family in order to look for possibilities to bring the religious convictions of the family into line with the unalterable school attendance requirement."

Link to "The Other Paper, Columbus's News and Entertainment Weekly" article

By Steph Greegor
Published: Wednesday, December 9, 2009 7:32 PM EST

Steve McIntosh said the protest staged by Paul Fisher of Columbus and Donald Tenn of Sacramento, Calif., may indeed have been effective. But it was also illegal�and expensive.

A year ago, Fisher and Tenn�dressed as Spider-Man and Superman�climbed a 200-foot crane sitting at a construction site near Ohio Stadium and hung a massive �Stop the war on fatherhood� banner as 100,000 people streamed by on their way to Ohio State�s football game against Minnesota.

The dangerous duo recently pleaded guilty to criminal damaging in front of McIntosh, a Franklin County common pleas court judge.

The protest may have been �effective in educating people,� said McIntosh. But he quickly added, �Where I had a real problem was that the company they inconvenienced had absolutely nothing to do with their cause.�

As part of their plea agreement, Fisher and Tenn must pay the contractor who was renting the crane $5,500 in restitution�an amount equal to the crane�s rental fee, plus the cost to have the crane they climbed inspected. McIntosh suspended a 90-day jail sentence and placed both men on probation for one year.

The nonprofit organization both men are associated with, Fathers 4 Justice, began in 2004 as an advocacy group for better treatment of fathers within the family court system. It doesn�t, however, endorse illegal demonstrations such as the one performed by Tenn and Fisher, said Brian Holladay, Ohio�s state coordinator for Fathers 4 Justice.

�We can�t even say we approve or disapprove or we like or dislike it,� he said.�

Despite that, Holladay can�t deny that the incident created a buzz for his organization.

�It makes an impact. It�s definitely raising public awareness because it gets people excited�it gets them involved,� Holladay said.

The men said they were trying to do exactly that. But awareness doesn�t necessarily equate to change.

�You can protest and there are means of protesting�we have people in front of the courthouse regularly exercising their First Amendment rights�I don�t know there�s any particular way of doing it. Could they have accomplished the same thing by walking around with the banner instead? I don�t know.�
- Judge McIntosh

�The only people who could make changes would be the legislature or the judges who handle visitation issues,� said McIntosh. �You can protest and there are means of protesting�we have people in front of the courthouse regularly exercising their First Amendment rights�I don�t know there�s any particular way of doing it. Could they have accomplished the same thing by walking around with the banner instead? I don�t know.�

�In this country, many changes have come from protest,� said McIntosh. �But I think it�s rare a single protest causes change.�

Fisher and Tenn both say they have suffered at the hands of a family court system that often favors the mother over the father when it comes to visitation rights. Tenn, president of the U.S. chapter of Fathers 4 Justice, said he hasn�t seen his 6-year-old daughter, Madison, since 2007, after his ex-wife filed a restraining order against him. Fisher has been fighting for more than his allotted four-days-a-month visitation time with his daughter, Demetra, 7.

New National Study Gives Voice to Victims of Paternity Fraud

Survey at http://www.PaternityFraud.com

"...Sharon Squires, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Sociology at California State University-Dominguez Hills, and Carnell Smith PfV have joined forces to develop a new on-line survey, the first of its kind, which will examine the emotional, financial, legal, and social impact of paternity fraud on men. "We know very little formally about how men react to learning that they are not the biological father of a child they thought they had fathered," said Dr. Squires. "Men have few places to turn for help when they find themselves in this situation. With this survey we want to get a baseline understanding of this very important issue which has profound implications for society and for a child's right to know their identity." ..."

In March 2001, the new child support guidelines went into effect (S.B. 180). This allowed for the administrative suspension of licenses but to anyone who had an arrears at that time, it did not apply. Does anyone have any info on the 'grandfathering' or do you know if the law has changed and and no longer applies to arrears prior to the effective date?

Need help on this immediately! Thanks!

National Health Care: Resurrecting the Welfare State

Written by David R. Usher

by David R. Usher

Feminists have exercised nearly unfettered control of Congress’s social policy philosophy since the creation of the Great Society. ...

... That arrangement, designed to help a few women in trouble, evolved into an industry executing the feminist goal of destroying marriage. The ever-escalating demands to entitle non-marriage and out-of-wedlock procreation never end.

Welfare state expansions have eviscerated the function of marriage. Marriage naturally guarantees women the economic support and domestic assistance of their husbands. The feminist Oleanna is truly a nightmare burdening women with “doing it all”, earning a living, raising the children, doing the laundry, and everything else around the household.

Welfare-state expansions brought on an explosion of divorce and illegitimacy only justifying another round of welfare-state expansions. Today, the welfare state costs approximately 1-trillion annually, nearly the size of the projected federal deficit, with no end in sight.

Democrats now hope to double the size of the welfare state by adding health care to their long list of entitlements. Feminists hope to expand the destruction of marriage by dragging the medical profession,

businesses, and taxpayers into the grandest expansion the Great Society has ever proposed.

National Health Care Reform is a Trojan-horse guaranteed to strongly incentivize non-marriage, particularly in the middle class. According to the Center for American Progress, 24.5% of unmarried women lack health insurance. Only 14.7% of married women lack coverage. Surprisingly, poor unmarried women are more likely to have coverage than their married counterparts due to government assistance programs.

The National Center for Health Statistics reports unmarried women aged 25–64 years are about 60% more likely than married women to lack health insurance coverage. The NCHS message is unmistakable: “Marriage affects health insurance coverage. As marriage rates in the United States decline, fewer women will have the opportunity to obtain health insurance coverage through their spouse. Marriage can also increase family income and may make health insurance more affordable.”

The UCLA Williams Institute recently exposed the other hidden agenda of National Health Care: entitling same-sex living arrangements, cohabitation, and dangerous sexual practices. Twenty percent of people in same-sex couples are uninsured, compared with only 10% of married people and 15% of the overall population. One-third of unmarried heterosexual individuals with partners have no insurance coverage.

Divorced individuals have chronic health problem rates 20% higher than married spouses. Their children also fare poorly. America would be happier, healthier, and need far less health care if mothers simply married the fathers of their children.

Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, a leading liberal firm consulting for the Center for American Progress and the DNCC knows that unmarried women are driving welfarization of heath care: “unmarried women represent one of the most reliable Democratic cohorts in the electorate … leading the charge for fundamental change in health care.”

Would women support Democrats in upcoming elections if Republicans proposed answers that would truly and naturally end the structural problems unmarried women suffer?

Marriage-absence is the greatest social and economic problem we face. The majority of costly perennial problems such as poverty, domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, crime, and lack of access to health care are primarily predicted by marriage-absence. State and federal legislators should focus on changing federal and state policies to serve necessary marriage-positive goals. Federal legislators must complete the two most crucial goals not addressed in 1996 federal welfare reform: Improving marriage rates and reducing the number of children born out of wedlock.

We rejected “Hillary Care” in the 1990’s. We must again reject the latest liberal invasion of marriage and look to “Marriage Values” policies provably beneficial to everyone – especially women and children.

We have an unequivocal choice before us: change federal policies destroying the institution of heterosexual marriage or tax America into socioeconomic oblivion. The “family values” landslide of 1994 proved that voters are smart enough to broadly support sensible pro-family policy. This time, “Marriage Values” policy changes will get it right.

At Supreme Court: Can prosecutors be sued for framing defendants?

Two African-American men wrongly imprisoned for 25 years filed a lawsuit against prosecutors for fabricating evidence against them. The Supreme Court hears the case Wednesday.

By Warren Richey | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor

from the November 3, 2009 edition

Washington - The US Supreme Court on Wednesday is set to consider an unusual question: Do Americans who have been framed by unscrupulous prosecutors for crimes they did not commit have a right to sue the prosecutors when the fraud is finally exposed?

According to the Obama administration, the answer is no.

Solicitor General Elena Kagan argues in a friend of the court brief that local, state, and federal prosecutors must enjoy absolute immunity from citizen lawsuits � even when they sent innocent men to prison for life by fabricating incriminating evidence and hiding exculpatory evidence.

Those are the allegations in a case from Iowa set for oral argument on Wednesday morning. According to legal briefs filed in the case, prosecutors in Pottawattamie County, Iowa, solicited false testimony implicating two innocent African-American teens in the murder of a recently retired police officer in 1977. At trial, the false testimony led to their convictions. They were sent to prison for life.

When the false testimony and other exculpatory evidence was discovered, the two innocent men, Curtis McGhee and Terry Harrington, were released after 25 years in prison. They filed a lawsuit against the prosecutors.

The question before the high court is whether the prosecutors can be held accountable in a civil trial or instead are entitled to absolute immunity from such lawsuits.

"If the allegations here are true, [the Iowa officials] engaged in prosecutorial misconduct of an execrable sort, involving a complete breach of the public trust," Solicitor General Kagan writes in her brief to the court. "But absolute immunity reflects a policy judgment that such conduct is properly addressed not through civil liability, but through a host of other deterrents and punishments."

Absolute vs. qualified immunity

Lawyers for Mr. McGhee and Mr. Harrington argue in their briefs that police officers who fabricate evidence do not enjoy such absolute protection from a civil lawsuit. They say prosecutors who actively participate in the pre-trial investigation of a case must be held to the same standard as police officers, detectives, and agents, who can be sued if they violate clearly-established constitutional rights.

"When law enforcement officers fabricate evidence with an intent to use it to deprive innocent citizens of their liberty, they violate the Constitution," writes Paul Clement, a former US Solicitor General who is arguing the case for McGhee and Harrington.

"The framing of innocent African-American citizens for a crime they did not commit, lies at the core of what Congress sought to prevent in the Civil Rights statutes," Mr. Clement says in his brief.

Lawyers for the two prosecutors counter that there is no constitutional right "not to be framed."

The critical question is whether the trial is fair, they say. The constitutional infraction occurs not when the false statements are first obtained, but when they are introduced at trial. Since prosecutors enjoy absolute immunity from lawsuits related to the actions they take at trial, any false testimony cannot form the basis of a lawsuit against a prosecutor, they say.

Attorneys general from 27 states and the District of Columbia filed a friend of the court brief urging the high court to embrace this broader view of absolute prosecutor immunity.

However, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Cato Institute, and the American Civil Liberties Union argue for a lower level of immunity that offers prosecutors protection from lawsuits except when they have violated a clearly-established constitutional right.

Confidence in justice system

New Jersey-based group Black Cops Against Police Brutality also filed a friend of the court brief in the case.

"This case is not just about drawing a good lawyerly line between precedents," writes Chicago lawyer Mark Herrmann in a brief for the group. "The facts are that Terry Harrington and Curtis McGhee are black and once were young, and that [the murder victim] was white and had been a police captain. Together, these facts made it easy for [the prosecutors] and their accomplices to frame Harrington and McGhee for murder."

Mr. Herrmann writes: "We can imagine few rulings of this Court that would send a more negative message about American criminal justice than to permit white prosecutors to frame African-American suspects for the murder of a white police officer, admit the outrage, and then walk away with impunity, after their victims have wrongfully suffered twenty-five years in prison."

The case is Pottawattamie County, Iowa, v. McGhee and Harrington.

Effective Tuesday, Dec. 1, the Clermont County Child Support Enforcement (CSE) division of the Department of Job and Family Services (DJFS) will no longer accept payments for child support.

"Because of budget cuts throughout our agency, we will no longer be able to serve as a conduit for these payments," said CSE Director Brenda Gilreath.

Beginning in December, child support payments must be made by personal check, money order, traveler's check or cashier's check and made payable to Ohio Child Support Payment Central (OCSPC), P.O. Box 182372, Columbus, Ohio 43218-2372. Other payment options available through the centralized Columbus collection unit include www.ExpertPay.com, a Web site that allows those making payments to use a debit card, and www.e-childsPay.com, a Web site that accepts Master Card and Discover payments. To ensure prompt payment and accurate posting to the individual's child support case, payments should include name, Social Security number, SETS number, and/or court number.

The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act requires all states to operate a state disbursement unit for collection and disbursement of support payments from a single physical location. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services operates the state disbursement unit, OCSPC.

"Those employers who have 50 or more employees are required to make child support payments electronically," said Gilreath. Guidelines for remitting payments are available on the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Web site at www.jfs.ohio.gov/ocs and on the Clermont CSE Web site www.ClermontSupportsKids.org. You also may call the Clermont CSE office at (513) 732-7248 for assistance.

Employer payments sent to the Clermont County CSE office after Dec. 1 will be returned to the employer.
