Free Britney Spears

The NY Times and the New Yorker magazine have joined the movement, but their reporting is hollow.

Is Britney suicidal?

How can she manage her own affairs if she does not even know to request it from the court?

She says she wants to remove her IUD and have a baby. Is she having regular sexual intercourse with a boyfriend? Who is it? Does he want a baby? Do they have marriage plans? How could she be a prisoner if she is living with a boyfriend?

Now she says, for the first time, that she wants to be released from the conservatorship, but she wants it to be done without a mental health evaluation.

Citing confidential evidence, judges have continued the conservatorship.

I don't know what is going on here, but we are not getting the full story.

Ronan Farrow pretends to find a big scoop, when he discovers that one of the witnesses against Britney regretted the role. But that tells us nothing. Did that witness provide accurate testimony or not? Farrow does not tell us.

I don't doubt that many conservators abuse their power, that they lack oversight, and that judges are too reluctant to terminate a conservatorship. But is that the case with Britney? The reporters have not told us yet.

If conservatorship court is anything like the family court or the child dependency court, then it is probably incapable of any reasonable justice.

Some Hollywood guy has written a new book on his ordeals in the California family court, called The Respondent: Exposing the Cartel of Family Law:

With The Respondent: Exposing the Cartel of Family Law, Hollywood veteran Greg Ellis delivers a gripping, unvarnished first-person account of family breakdown and the social, political, and legal forces that are fueling this national health emergency. It further exposes and condemns a gender bias that presumes that fathers are less effective caregivers.

Family breakdown is the single greatest threat to American society. Every day, more than 4,000 children lose a parent because of our archaic and inhumane family-court system. Every day, ten divorced men commit suicide. And now, one in three children in our country are without their father.

Here is an interview:
When it happened to me in 2015, I started looking for books and information on this subject, so that I could educate and then at least convince myself that I wasn’t going insane, because my whole world had turned upside down in an instant. What I found is that there is very little information out there and what information there is were all books written by women for women on how to ruin your husband, how to get rid of your spouse, how to win the house, and how to get custody of the kids.
There are actually some pretty good sources, if you look hard enough. See Real World Divorce, a free online book that summarizes the law in all 50 states. There are also blogs that detail some personal horror stories. The main trouble is that reader usually does not believe that the system is as corrupt as it is.
I think equal shared parenting is something. It’s beginning to be introduced in certain states. When there is marriage disillusionment and two people decide that they no longer wish to stay married, the default play should be 50-50 shared parenting time. It’s not.

So introducing these equal shared parenting bills into the different state legislatures, there have been wonderful people trying this for many years. Molly Olson who started the Center for Parental Responsibility 21 years ago, has been tenaciously fighting, as well as others like Dr. William Fabricius. Kentucky is the only state up until recently, Arkansas become the second state, but Kentucky was the only state to introduce an equal shared parenting bill, and sign it into their law.

I looked into that and discovered why Kentucky had actually passed that. The main reason for that was because it’s illegal in Kentucky for a family law firm or an attorney to lobby a state legislation. Again, we go back to the money. ...

Here is the trailer for the book. I guess a Hollywood guy needs a trailer for a paperback book. There are also some related podcasts.

Update: Here is a new article about a case of false allegations taking kids:
Many hospitals today have a Child Abuse Pediatrician (CAP), a doctor on contract with child protective services. Their job is to be on the lookout for child abuse, including abuse other doctors may have missed. While the CAP at this hospital never met Krueger or worked directly with Wyatt, she reviewed his file and accused the mother of Munchausen syndrome by proxy—in other words, causing or faking a child's illness to get attention.

This CAP's report was all it took for Illinois' Department of Child and Family Services to put into place a "safety plan" to remove the Kruegers' kids.
