2. GIVE THE DEATH PENALTY TO ALL CHILD ABUSERS 
Children, are the last remaining angels on our planet. The inhumane monsters that abuse them, must be stopped.
The only way to stop the action of abuse, that goes beyond human imagination, is to fight the evil with evil: DEATH PENALTY in every corner of the earth.
HELP ME TO MAKE THIS REAL. NOTHING MATTERS, NOT EVEN EARTHQUAKES, before this action of stopping abuse....
Thank you.
3. Senate must pass Family Law Bill 2011 NOW to protect children
Protecting children from violence and abuse must be the paramount consideration, not secondary to the rights of the parent to have contact with the child. Too many children are being cruelly separated from their protective parent – usually the primary carer they have known since birth.
These parents may have raised allegations of abuse and violence against another party. Instead of investigating the allegations from the child protection point of view, the courts (often via single experts and ICL’s advice) label the protective parent ‘delusional’ or worse. The courts remove the child from that parent’s care and place them in an abusive situation with no review or follow-up to check on their welfare.
Children are being removed or forced into coerced shared parenting arrangements which are inflicting permanent emotional, psychological, physical and sometimes sexual damage on them.
4. Stop Child Pageants in California
We feel that beauty pageants exploit children and are in the interest of the mothers and not the children themselves.
We would like to see age restrictions (16+) placed on pageant contestants to ensure full consent. We oppose promoting physical beauty as a main value, and not allowing children to play with dolls, but instead, turning them into live Barbies.
5. Halt the child traficking, torture, psychological warfare and terrorism of Canadian families
We the undersigned call upon the U.N., UNICEF , Amnesty, HRW, Save the Children to halt halt the child traficking torture psychological warfare and terrorism of Canadian families:
Immediate oversight and accountability of the Ontario (C.A.S.)
In 2010 1 child in direct care of C.A.S. died every 3.5 days.
Ontario governments despite the fact that every other province in Canada allows its ombudsman to oversee child protection says no. Therefore they are a Private Corporation empowered by the Ontario Government to perform child protection services The declared goal to "promote best interests, protection and wellbeing of children.
A Corporation Maintaining 2.5 Billion Tax Dollars in funding per year. It is not a social entity most of its employees have no credentials resulting in no accountability to any Academy of Social Work.
1- 90 children died in Ontario in 2009 under direct care of Ontario Children's Aid societies studies to date unknown.
2- PRC Ontario say 90 child deaths was miraculously low yet It now appears that the 90 child deaths were all in foster care. Spread over 19,000 foster children that is 474 deaths per hundred thousand, making Ontario the deadliest juristiction for which there is credible foster mortality data, seventeen times more hazardous than care by mom and dad.
3- Census Canada states in 2006 Ontario had 3,977,005 living children.
4- Children's Aid Societies had 25,000. children in direct care.
5- Child deaths under direct care of (C.A.S.) 249 times higher PDR says still a small percent?
6- It is reported that ( C.A.S.) denies all physical abuse of children in care and they do not seek medical attention for a child unless police are called or an inquiry is demanded.
7- It is reported that (C.A.S.) does not cooperate with police or other authorities and are reported as falsifying documents.
8- It is reported that (C.A.S.) does not investigate sexual abuse of a foster child if their record states them to be an aggressive child.
9- 44% of foster children in Ontario are on psychotropic drugs.
10- It is reported children are regularly moved from foster home to foster home unnecessarily at an additional cost of 3,600. per child per move for tax benefits to all board workers at the public tax payers expense.
11- New SUV's are purchased and paid for by the public tax payers.
12- It is reported that decisions are often made by unqualified workers or falsely informed outsourced service provider's.
13- It is reported that children under the age of 5 are considered most adoptable and families have little chance of the babies being returned to them.
14- It is reported that families are targeted and psychological warfare is regularly practiced.
The Harvard Crimson reports former foster children are almost twice as likely to suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as U.S. war veterans
No studies have been done in respect to the psychological damage done to the children's families.
The societies receive funding from, and are under the supervision of the Ontario Ministry Of Children And Youth Services.
However, they are regarded as a NON GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION (NGO) which allows the CAS a large degree of" Autonomy from Interference or Direction" And known lack of accountability in the day to day running of CAS by the Ministry.
6. Harsher penalties or life sentences for raping and abusing children
Because innocent children who can not defend themselves, need someone to do the defending and fighting for them. Let's make our voices and cries heard in the attempt to keep our children safe and untouched by sexual predators.
Children are our future and I am sure that every parent would agree that the death penalty should be applied to these criminals. They are sick and possessed and should under NO circumstances be allowed back into society after such an offence.
7. FREE the Musas and send the Whole Family back Home to Nigeria!
British Govt Detains Nigerian Couple’s Six Children was published by the National paper Leadership on 21 August 2011 and named the family, while the children's identities still need to be protected for legal reasons in the UK. Their horrendous 'case' is one of the representative stories that shall form the foundation for a Parliamentary Inquiry into White Collar Crimes.
In April 2010, five Musa children were taken by Haringey Council without any legal justification, and completely false allegations, such as the mother being a sex worker, the children being from different fathers and a visibly faked letter by the eldest daughter were gradually fabricated after the event.
DNA tests took unduly long and proved the contrary, but Haringey Council was adamant about inventing more reasons for keeping the children away from their parents.
The photo gallery shows clearly what a happy family they were, before they met Haringey Council. But their sixth child was taken by nine police officers at birth. In August 2010, the oldest daughter reported being "inappropriately touched" and she has not been seen or heard by either parents or siblings since. The other children have not been seen since May 2011, and the High Commission of Nigeria has been refused consular visits - contrary to Article 36 of the Vienna Convention.
Does this family have human rights? asks Christopher Booker in one of 14 articles about the Musa Family in The Telegraph: "A council whistleblower has said that, at a recent case conference, the social workers admitted that maybe they had made a mistake, and that the mother they had falsely accused was in fact devoted and blameless. But apparently, because of “press interest” in the case, the officials agreed that the council could not afford the very damaging publicity which might follow, if the unhappy children were reunited with their parents. It was therefore vital that the council should continue to justify its actions."
The news release Cash for Kids - especially Cute Nigerians was published on 21 August 2011 to present their story, perceived to be the worst of all known cases, as part of a larger picture. More on Social Services stealing Children aka State Kidnapping.
Unfortunately, their case of child snatching is only one of many, as Christopher Booker also wrote: Britain's forced adoptions: the hidden scandal we can't ignore. Hence our petition that The Secrecy of Family Courts should be Lifted NOW.
Fascinating comments have been expressed by signers of this and other petitions advocating the Rule of Law.
Since "chronic litigant" Maurice J Kirk BVSc has acted as their McKenzie Friend, there are news on his site and his support site, besides the Musa site. While trying to help the Musa Family, he ended up in Cardiff prison where he fears to be locked into a mental hospital for life. The Nigerian Standard covered his involvement here.
On 28th November, the Musas were arrested and refused bail on two occasions. You can use Email a Prisoner to write to Gloria Musa as prisoner A 2767 CJ in HMP Holloway and Joseph Musa as A 2793 CJ in HMP Pentonville respectively.
What can one call it, when victims are not only punished without crime, but also criminalised by those who are committing crimes behind the doors of official institutions?

9. We will Boycott the Olympics to Stop Child Snatching by Corrupt Courts in the UK
In line with our request to the UK Judiciary The Secrecy of the Family Courts should be lifted NOW, President Zuma of South Africa is prepared for his country to boycott the Olympics in 2012.
He will call for other African countries to follow suit, as soon as he gets the 2,000 signatures that were collected via Facebook.
By way of example, there is a high profile case of Vicky Haigh who has not seen her 7-year-old daughter for 17 months is reported on www.vickyhaigh.wordpress.com and the Nigerian family whose six children were taken under completely false allegations by Haringey Council.
Do consider signing Paedophiles' rights? What about the rights of our children!, too!
Many children sit in FOSTERCARE unjustly. Family members and family friends are being denied custody of the children, because CPS wont let the children go. CPS makes a profit by keeping children in FOSTERCARE and therefore children are being held against their rights. CPS destroys more children and kills more children every year than the assumed abusive parents do.
Many times false allegations are placed against parents and the children enter into FOSTERCARE HELL. Let`s fight back for our children and make them a #1 priority again. They are our future and if we dont protect them, we are not protecting our futures. Thank you!
11. Declare April 25th as Parental Alienation Awareness Day in the State of Montana
The problem of Parental Alienation in our state and beyond has become critical despite the fact that we as a society have the highest obligation to protect our children.
Dr. Richard Gardner, the first to recognize PAS, defines it as "a disorder that arises primarily in the context of child-custody disputes. Its primary manifestation is the child's campaign of denigration against a parent, a campaign that has no justification. It results from the combination of a programming (brainwashing) parent's indoctrination and the child's own contributions to the vilification of the targeted parent."
One of the leading professionals in this area, Dr. Richard Warshak, author of Divorce Poison, is puzzled by some therapist’s ambivalence in preventing PAS. While they agree that the brainwashing of PAS is a form of emotional abuse, they often fail to remove a child from the obviously damaging environment; yet they would be the first to do so if there were any signs of physical or emotional abuse. This is particularly alarming when you consider the fact that the impact of emotional abuse is worse than any other abuse, both in severity and duration.
RK Hendricks Esq., a retired family law attorney, pro tem judge and founder of Protection for Men, notes that no one has taken the time to educate bureaucrats and judges on the cultural changes that have taken place over the past 50 years. This failure has led to exploitation of the judicial system.
Hendricks continues that discussing this topic is simply too explosive and most are uncomfortable doing so publicly. He warns however, “if you are a wholesome and nurturing father, you need to fiercely protect your rights, as well as the rights of your children!"
12. Reveal Industry Statistics, death and abuse in the Canadian Family Court System
PLEASE NOTE: That the above publish date is the origin of petition cause. The petition below was been updated in the month of November of 2011.
The following statement is of my own personal opinion and true beliefs.
I spent less than a year as a licensed private investigator with little to no skill in order to discover what will no doubt soon lead to one of the most significant discoveries and or disclosures of judicial industry information regarding the Canadian family court system ever disclosed.
It is my true belief with respect to my simple discovery that there are no changes that could possibly ever be made to the present family court system that would reduce the enormous amount of suffering and death presently taking place.
With your support, this never before seen judicial industry information will be for the first time, gathered, compiled, then disclosed to the public.
13. SAVE NIMA - Stop Child Abuse In Iran
BACKGROUND ;
Iranian Judge Returns Severely Abused 4 Year Old to Abusive Parents
Iran Human Rights, May 19: A judge in Tehran has decided to hand over Nima, a 4 years old boy who has been subjected to severe physical abuse, back to his abusive father, reported the Iranian state run news agency ISNA today.
The report said: "Nima, is a four years old boy in Tehran, and the second victim of child abuse [who received media attention] in the past month. Yesterday, and only ten days after he was taken to the Mofid Children’s hospital, he was released and delivered to his abusive father."
"Nima suffered injuries from severe beatings from his parents who burned various parts of his body including his genitals and caused deep bruising around his eyes. He was transfered to the hospital on May 8th. Upon arrival at the hospital, Nima told the staff that his father had burned his body" said the report.
Mostafa Eghlima, the President of the Academic Association of Social Workers in Iran told ISNA, “According to the law, a father may refer to the Judiciary any time he wishes to collect his child.” He added, “Even though the legal proceedings have allowed for Nima to return to his father, we must [know] how the presiding Judge came to the decision that the father is qualified to care for Nima.”
According to paragraph 220 of Iran’s Islamic Penal Code, if the father or father’s father kills his child or grandchild, he will not be punished for murder. Physical punishment by a parent is permitted in Iranian law.
14. The Secrecy of the Family Courts should be lifted NOW
This petition was started by Jane Davies in the streets of Carmarthen and published on Unity - Injustice. It is an expression of campaigning efforts by many individuals, organisations and John Hemming as the first and foremost MP.
"Lifting secrecy" implies not issuing 'injunction', 'reporting restriction' or 'gagging' orders, as reported in The untold story of gagging orders by The Independent: only 69 related to celebrities, while 264 were about children and young adults.
By publishing this petition, this site to support Vicky Haigh and this site to support Bishop Gloria Musa, I hope to raise awareness online. Here are the marvellous comments by petition signers.
Please note the videos of rallies Against Child Abuse in London!
Please note also that 100,000 signatures get us a formal debate in Parliament. At 100 per day, that means in 3 years!
And do look at this comprehensive research into 3 decades of child protection and family justice unique to the UK and Wales!
The worst case and international cover-up seems to be Linda Lewis, but Ian Josephs who publishes Forced Adoption and has been helping families since the 60s, reckons that the Musa case is the worst.
The Education Select Committee offers a unique opportunity by inviting the submission of written evidence about "child protection" by 23rd January 2011.

15. Basics for all children entering state care and support for carers
we believe all children entering care for what ever reason should have access to crisis care packages which contain basics for the child in the initial 24-72 Hours.
Foster carers often tell us they receive kids at short notice or late at night when shopping is not possible, also was a child in care and know first hand how little these kids have and how much red tape must be overcome to simply access funds to purchase such items for the child.
We are happy to provide these packs free to the children , But NSW DOCS have said they are un needed as they provide everything they refereed to another organisation they fund, however the child must join this org, must pay a fee and it can take months to access it does not meet their needs during crisis.
16. Paedophiles' rights? What about the rights of our children!
Please make sure you sign the petition at the bottom of this page and like it.
My website has profiled over 12,000 UK paedophiles.
JOIN our facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/pages/CHRIS-children-have-rights-in-society/141671072532024
I am sick of hearing the excuses Paedophiles give for abusing our vulnerable and innocent children and I want society as a whole to stand up and show how disgusted we are.
Whatever the do-gooders and the well-meaning say, the sick desires of these people will NEVER go away and they will continue to do damage to our future generations.
If they have killed once, abused a child or viewed indecent images, they will do it again if they think they can get away with it – and they always believe they will. The re-offending rate of a convicted paedophile is estimated at around 70 %.
Which makes it even more bewildering to most police officers is that this type of criminal should ever be even considered for release.
And all the mental health professionals I have spoken to agree with me that paedophilia is one condition for which there is simply no reliable cure.
17. Survivors of Sexual Abuse against Billy Bush
http://video.aol.com/video/billy-bush-tells-mackenzie-phillips-that-he-didnt-want-her-on-the-show-tvr-clip-022311/3819513359
After reviewing this video and hearing his remarks that the subject of sexual abuse should be kept in the therapy room and the subject should be kept privately, I am a survivor and I am outraged.
It's people like he that do not want the truth coming out and believe me there are more and more of us out there than people who deny us think.
18. For The Rights of Survivors & The Safe Guarding of All Our Children
Paedophiles and rapists yesterday won the right to have their names removed from the Sex Offenders Register in a landmark human rights ruling.
Appeal Court judges ruled sex offenders who no longer pose a threat should be given the chance to have their names wiped off the police database. The decision has outraged victims’ groups who fear sexual predators will commit further crimes without any restrictions or supervision of their movements.
The case comes after two convicted sex attackers, including a child rapist, went to the High Court arguing that being on the register for life was a breach of their human rights.
19. HELP THOUSANDS OF AUSSIE KIDS IN GRAVE DANGER
Youth Insearch provides a powerful program that inspires young people, through the support of their peers, to make better choices in life. They are often products of alcohol and drug abuse, sexual abuse and violence. Many have turned to crime and considered or attempted suicide.
Youth Insearch is empowering these young Australian’s to turn their disadvantage into an advantage. 44% of those attending Youth Insearch had attempted suicide. (60% have thought about it!) After attending the weekend programs, 97% of young people report no longer feeling suicidal.
But as demand for the program increases, so too does the need for further Government assistance. Only 20% of Youth Insearch is funded by Government and thousands of ‘at-risk’ young people cannot receive the support they so desperately need.
Youth Insearch has requested Government funding of $601,200 per annum to help 1900 young people who desperately need it. This equates to the Government contributing $316 per young person.
The cost for not helping these young people is estimated to cost between $3.8m and $30.4m per annum in health, welfare and legal costs. The moral and financial logic is so compelling that Rotary and Lions are joining together to support a petition to the Government to significantly increase funding for Youth Insearch.
FOR THE SAKE OF THESE DESPERATE CHILDREN WHOSE LIVES ARE ON A KNIFEDGE-PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION AND SEND IT ON TO ALL YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
Let's end child-abuse here in Australia - it's time us Aussies stand up for our children rights.
We're inviting our readers, their friends, family and colleagues to take a personal step by signing our pledge.
By taking this step, you'll be committing to do everything
you can to keep our children safe.
22. Tell Victims The Truth Pope Benedict XV1
It has come to light, in the ongoing investigations and litigations of sexual abuses by Irish clergy, that the Irish bishops took part in a cover-up of the abusers specifically because of instructions from the Vatican contained in a 1997 letter, made public recently.
It has been suspected by many (mostly Survivors of Child Abuse) and with further evidence obtained now raises serious questions in which the Holy Father has a duty to answer both morally and Legally; not only as leader of the catholic church, but as a citezen of humanity.
The Pope in 1997 was the widely popular and beloved John Paul II, who is currently being fast-tracked by the current pontiff, Pope Benedict XVI, for sainthood, however, many Catholics are calling for a halt to that process, at least until all the information is made public about what role John Paul II played, not only in the letter to the Irish clergy, but in other cover-ups of predatory priests around the world?
He has reaffirmed that for sainthood, the Church requires that at least two miracles be attributed to the candidate: The second miracle for John Paul II's canonization should be the purification of the Church, and to accomplish that miracle they would have to voluntarily disclose all they know about sexual abuse by the clergy, all the documents, all the names of the abusers and all the bishops and other involved in covering up. That would truly be a miracle and it would clearly show that John Paul II was the leading architect of the cover up.
Facing a growing scandal over sexual abuse by Irish priests, the leaders of the Irish Catholic Church in 1996 put together a protocol for handling the crisis, which included instructions to bishops to cooperate with law enforcement.
In 1997, the Irish bishops received a letter from the Congregation for the Clergy - in other words, the Roman Curia which is, together with the Pope, the governing body of the Catholic Church. The letter, stamped "Strictly confidential," remained so until an Irish bishop handed a copy to a reporter recently.
The letter referred to the Irish bishops' document and said it contains "procedures and dispositions which appear contrary to canonical discipline and which, if applied, could invalidate the acts of the same Bishops who are attempting to put a stop to these problems."

23. Kaylor's Justice: stop child abuse or neglect
ABUSE STATISTICS----
More than half (61 percent) of the children (771,700 children) were victims of neglect, meaning a parent or guardian failed to provide for the child's basic needs.
Forms of neglect include educational neglect (360,500 children), physical neglect (295,300 children), and emotional neglect (193,400).
Another 44 percent were victims of abuse (553,300 children), including physical abuse (325,000 children), sexual abuse (135,000 children), and emotional abuse (148,500 children).
An average of nearly four children die every day as a result of child abuse or neglect (1,760 in 2007).
24. Overhaul the National Sex Offender Registry Immediately!
Since becoming law in 2004, Canada's National Sex Offender Registry has not assisted in ONE criminal case.
Registration isn't even mandatory. If a convicted sex offender is ordered onto the registry, the RCMP have no way to keep track of them. In Canada, our registry relies on the honour system, dependent on the goodwill of our convicted sex offenders.
Computer system is archaic - RCMP has needed to create separate hard copy systems, a Rolodex or an Excel spreadsheet.
There can be NO pro-active use, use is only for after a crime has occurred.
Annual budget for a National Sex Offender Registry to keep convicted pedophiles and predators away from our children is $400,000 (My Alberta Premier's salary is $208,000)
Correctional Services of Canada refuses to inform the RCMP of when convicted sex offender have finished their sentence.
Police Officers cannot access the system.
The Federal Government is obsessed with the privacy rights of our convicted sex offenders at the expense of the privacy rights of our children's bodies & souls.
Prosecutors are using the Registry as a negotiation chip during plea bargains. In other words: plead guilty, and even though you're a convicted sex offender, you won't have to register.
In Canada, we Pardon our convicted sex offenders.
When this is done, all information from the registry is destroyed.
Convicted sex offenders should never be allowed to be pardoned. After years of research and debate, it is clear that there is no cure for pedophilia.
25. Ban the TLC Program Toddlers & Tiaras
The TLC program Toddlers and Tiara's is promoting the sick nature of children's beauty contest. The mothers of these children verball bash their children for not winning. As well as force painful and harmful procedures on them. Ie: Waxing eyebrows, fake nails, fake tanning, and painful hair styles.
These girls do not look like they enjoy this. Some children are 15 months and younger going through this! It is insane! They are exploiting their children for money, as they put skimpy clothes on their daughters and have them parade around. NO CHILD deserves this when there is so much evil in the world.
TLC needs to cancel the program and it needs to be banned. The mothers need to be arrested for child abuse and endangerment.
26. Domestic Violence - A Violation of Human Rights
Domestic Violence is hurting Canadian families and the future of our nation.
Physical, emotional and sexual abuse costs Canada over $4 billion each year (factoring into account social services, criminal justice, lost employment days and health care interventions).
Every year in Canada, up to 360,000 children are
exposed to domestic violence.
For Men, Women & Children whom are exposed to Domestic Violence, consequences can include emotional trauma, depression, injury and permanent disability, as well as other physical, psychological and behavioral problems. Unfortunately, in some situations it can also end in death.
27. Help Eliminate Lowlife Parents [H-E-L-P]
There are too many local events happening, where we here about a child turning up missing or worst dead. We need the government to step in and monitor parents who have been arrested for drugs or gun possession or even neglect toward a child or even more their child or even more frequent stepchild.When this happens, where a parent is found breaking the Law,either minor or major offense.
Then it is the Law's Responsibility to step in...and do what the community wants them to do.... When an event happens, and a child is unable to talk about it, where it be from a friend of the child or another family member, when the child does speak up. Social Services or just the city police should start asking questions, not only to the child's parent or step parent, but to the child's friend or other witnesses. Let's get to the bottom of it before it gets worse. A child has rights too, let's see to it that our efforts to protect them doesn't go unnoticed.
28. Tougher Sentences For Child Abusers
I am wanting to change the law to make it so child abusers get tougher sentences. This is after a local mom was only sentenced to 3.5 years (the max here in Kansas) for child abuse charges even though she stated she did help abuse her son and that she new leaving her son with her boyfriend was leaving him in danger since she knew he was abusive to her son!
I am sick about the fact that she only got 3.5 years.
29. Australia Says No To Light Sentences For Convicted Child Abusers/Murderers
Decent Australians are sick and tired of the government not putting our children first. We are sick of the weak sentences handed to child abusers/murderers. Also convicted persons downloading and viewing child pornography.
We want to clean this up in Australia. We want a strong message sent out to the Australian Government that Child abuse in any form or Shape will not be tolerated.
30. Stop systematic cover-up of paedo-criminality and corruption in Lithuania
In 2009 D. Kedys, 37, father of 5 year old Deimantele Kedytė, contacted authorities to report the sexual assault of his daughter by 3 men: Andrius Ūsas, ex-Head of the Kaunas branch of Labour Party, Jonas Furmanavičius, judge of Kaunas County Court, and a third blond-haired man Aidas. This case wasn’t being investigated until months later, when D. Kedys went public with his evidence: a video of his daughter explaining her ordeal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHMSBXcqIhU.
On October 5th, 2009, judge J.Furmanavičius and Violeta Naruševičienė (accused of helping to prostitute the girl) were found dead with gun wounds. On April 18th 2010, D. Kedys was found dead with a gun next to his body, close to a water reservoir. Official version-choking on his stomach contents due to an alcohol consumption.
On June 13th 2010, main suspect A. Ūsas’s body was found close to a pond. Official version- drowning due to the heart failure and alcohol consumption.
This case involves multiple deaths, cover-ups of evidence, ambiguous tactics, false accusations and deliberate misinformation by the prosecution. In addition, D.Kedys’s sister N. Venckienė is being subjected to a continuous harassment by the prosecution and smear campaigns in the press. Same tactics were also used in other famous cases i.e. VSD officer’s A. Pociūnas death.
