The situation never gets resolved, because a DV expert (the statewide Coalitions) being paid by HHS cannot bite the hand that feeds it and critique the hand that feeds it at the same time; e.g., people like Anne Menard, at National Healthy Marriage Resource Center (a project run in part by the same people that ran the Okahoma Healthy Marriage Initiative, the first one to grab $10 million of TANF (welfare funds) and divert it to promoting marriage statewide.<br /><br />I have been researching this (being myself a DV survivor and mother) for three years now, and believe that if women saw what I see, and comprehended it, they would be shouting it from the rooftops. <br /><br />A second blog started recently as I found how to look up special funds (some of which are used and relate to custody/child support matters, e.g., found in Arizona) on government-wide comprehensive (not just "annual") financial reports. This whole issue of abuse, child abuse, child protection (think Nancy Schaefer, etc.) is more about money-laundering than about protecting ANYone, and the sooner we accept this, the more can be done about it. The system thrives on ignorance of its operations.<br /><br />I am every day stunned with the basic findings of who is funding what in this operation, and battered women or protective mothers (and fathers) if they are ten, fifteen, or more years behind the game figuring this out, are at severe disadvantage and need to get up to speed fast on how it works. It may require a change of perspective from experiences in the courtroom (or the relationship) to looking at the flow of resources (power) and at some of the contractors profiting from all this. It's shocking, but not rocket science, a person who can read and will think, can understand it. <br />Thanks.Cold,Hard,Factshttp://economicbrain.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
