Erasing Dad… The War on Fathers

Erasing-Dad

Censored and attacked for showing how family courts tear fathers away
from their children after divorce. Shocking testimony. This version is
for the USA and other countries where the original version has been
blocked. ~ Documentary

December
9, 2015. Argentina. (ONN) Apparently, the war on dads isn’t just an
American phenomenon. Millions of fathers can testify how they were
systematically eliminated from their children’s lives, many even jailed
for no reason other than raising their kids. ~ Mark Wachtler

The epidemic has gotten
so bad in one country, that an entire nation of fathers has created a
grassroots movement to raise awareness and fight back. They’ve also
created a documentary film – Erasing Dad.

Whiteout Press readers are aware that your author is one of those
victimized dads, jailed for not being able to pay child support for kids
that I’ve raised for the past 21 years.

Why would a custodial parent
have to pay child support to an estranged parent? Because the custodial
parent happens to be a father. Welcome to the war on dads.

Our good friend Dr. Mario Jimenez, who had his children taken away by
DCFS-CPS for the act of praying with them, introduced us to Ginger
Gentile. Jimenez is a co-founder of the new American parents rights
political party called the Family Party.

Gentile is the co-director of the movie Erasing Dad.
While the film documents the discrimination faced by fathers throughout
Argentina and is in Spanish, it has been remade in English and has
spread like wildfire to other countries where dads have seen their
rights and their children stripped away for no reason.

“I am sorry about what happened to you. It is a completely unfair
system,” Ginger Gentile said while corresponding with this author, “The
producer of the film, Gabriel Balanovsky, was also jailed for a year and
a half and there are many cases like this all over the world.”

She goes
on to explain how her film Erasing Dad was actually banned in Argentina
and removed from YouTube. But the campaign of government censorship has
only added fuel to the fire.

 

Erasing Dad

Erasing Dad is a 78-minute documentary that follows six fathers who
are fighting to raise their children after a divorce and features
interviews with professionals who admit, on camera, that they do
everything possible to keep children and fathers separated.

Fathers
rights advocates continue to post and repost the film on YouTube where
victimized parents around the world are watching it and passing it
along. There are even documented instances where Family Court judges
have reversed their rulings after viewing the documentary.

In addition to the main film, there are also a number of shorter
video clips from victimized children and fathers urging people to help
expose their unjust plight.

One of those film shorts is only three
minutes long. But the emotion of the interviewees, combined with the
corruption and injustice they are experiencing, is powerful and
impactful.

 

Quotes from the documentary

“When my daughter was in second grade, I wasn’t allowed to see her,”
one father tells the filmmakers, “The only way to see her was during
recess at school.”

Another dad says, “It angers me that I can’t take
part in my daughters’ education or pick them up from school.” The
riveting filmmakers then jump to an explosive scene where a young boy is
being ripped from his father’s arms crying, “I want to go with dad!”

One father recalls, “My ex told my son, look at your dad, because
this is the last time you’ll see him.” Another father quotes his ex
telling him, “‘I’m going to erase you as a dad.’ Those were her last
words.”

A separate dad tells the camera, “I went to the police to file
charges for not being able to see the kids. They didn’t want to file
charges, which is normal in these cases.” His attorney then explains,
“Even though this is against the law, judges don’t consider it to be a
crime.”

Another father explains his ordeal saying, “If the judge in your case
does not even bother to read the file, years can pass without you being
able to see your children.”

A different father adds his experience,
“She doesn’t take the kids to the court-ordered therapy with me. Without
the therapy, they won’t give me visitation. Nobody puts a limit on her
and time keeps passing.”

One of the dads goes on to explain, “I spent six years in the family
justice system.” While a fathers rights attorney adds, “A huge number of
professionals live off of family conflicts. But it is the children who
end up paying the price.”

Judges and caseworkers aren’t the only ones exposed in the
documentary. One mother explains how some moms are orchestrating the
elimination of dad from their children’s lives themselves.

She quotes a
common tactic used by parents saying, “If you see your father or talk to
him on the phone, you can’t go play. So the poor child says, ‘No, I
don’t want to see dad.’ Dad becomes a monster.”

 

False and disproven accusations

One aspect of child custody battles that seems common to countries
all over the world is the act of leveling false charges of abuse against
the fathers.

In the US, there are even websites that train and instruct
mothers to knowingly lie in court under oath and accuse dad of heinous
acts, because as they say, all moms do it and the tactic works.

One father in the documentary Erasing Dad explains his experience,
“She went to the domestic violence office and filed her first false
accusation. Many of these have been proven false. He [caseworker] told
me, ‘The child is its mother’s property.’ He used this exact wording,
‘mother’s property.'”

A female attorney then explains, “In many family court cases, there
are accusations that are never proven. And when they are proven false,
many years have passed.”

The filmmakers interview a number of fathers
who themselves, or their children, are actually victims of abuse
perpetrated by the mother. But, according to them, moms are exempt from
prosecution.

One attorney tells his client’s story saying, “He filed a statement
with the police station that the mother wanted to kill her children. And
what did the District Attorney do? Nothing.”

Two days after the mother
murdered her kids, the grieving father demanded answers from a judge
regarding why no officials would act on his dire warning only two days
earlier.

“What if I went crazy and hit one of my children in the head with a
bar?” he asked the judge, “And I crack his skull, causing the same
injuries as the mother?”

The judge replied, “You would go to prison.”
“Why would I go to prison,” the father questioned. The judge answered,
“Because you are the dad.”

The film’s three-minute preview ends with large-scale protests in
countries around the world by fathers demanding to see their children.
One says, “The judge assigned a visitation schedule. But the mother
never showed up with the kids and she was never penalized for it.”

Another demonstration featured a victimized dad with a megaphone telling
the crowd, “I want justice. I want to see my son.” Another father tells
fellow protesters, “We want to see our children, and our children want
to see us.”
